bedroom. We can go from crazy passionate love making to silly kids in seconds. I contemplate what a great future that means for us. When I go to wipe, I see a twinge of blood on the paper.
I close my eyes and silently thank God that I’ve started my period. What a relief! No baby just yet for Mr. McKinney. I can remove pregnancy from my “ what ifs” list of worries.The only problem is that I know Brad didn’t pack me tampons. “Well,” I think to myself, “it’s time to see if Colin can handle the unfun aspects of our relationship.”
“Honey,” I call.
“What, baby?” he answers back sounding a little sleepy.
“Can you come in here for a second?”
I hear him walking toward the toilet closet. He looks a bit concerned.
“I started my period, and I need tampons. Can you run to the drugstore and grab me some?” I ask sweetly.
He’s naked and leaning against the door jam of the toilet closet. “Are you kidding? It’s like three o’clock in the morning. Can’t we just call down to the front desk and get some?”
“No. I like a specific brand. I’ll text ya the kind that I want.” I state just as sweetly. “There’s a drugstore on the corner. Please go for me while I wait here.”
“Oh God, Charlie. What if someone sees me buying tampons?” he tries to reason with me.
“They’ll think that you’re the best boyfriend ever. Now, please go,” I reply.
He turns around and huffs out of the bathroom. I hear him putting on his pants, shirt, and shoes.
Once I hear the suite door close, I let out a long breath. I’ve never been so happy to start my period in my life. I’ve spent the last week worrying that I was going to be a mom in nine short months. It’s not that I don’t want kids because I really want to be a mom, but I want to be a mom when Colin and I’ve got a clue what the future holds for us. Plus, I’m not ready to share him with anyone yet. I just want to enjoy him before we have the responsibility of a life.
Colin hasn’t been gone all that long when I hear him return. He comes into the bathroom and hands me a bag filled with three different kinds of tampon absorbencies. “I’m not sure what kind you wanted, and I was not about to go back so I bought you one of each,” he says with a shudder.
“Thank you, baby. You’re the best.” I praise him while I finish up.
Then, I turn on the shower and quickly rinse off before brushing my teeth and heading back to the bedroom. Colin is lying on his side of the bed facing me. He has a sad expression on his face. I crawl up on the bed and snuggle close to him. “Want to talk about it?” I ask.
“Not really,” he responds.
I know that he’s upset that we aren’t pregnant. A flash of indignation surges through me, but I calm myself back down. “Look Colin. I know that you’re ready to be a father, but I’m not ready to be a mom. I want kids, but I want to enjoy some alone time with you before we take that step. Plus, I would kinda like to be married first.”
Then, I try to lighten his mood by singing the “first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage” song.
“Wow! You really can’t sing can you?” He says clearly mocking me.
I tickle his side and he laughs pinning my hands to me.
We fall asleep cuddled sweetly into each other. I know that I’m crazy in love with this man. He’s bliss and happiness all in one perfect package and the “ what ifs” are happily staying where they belong at the very back of my mind.
Chapter Three
I HAVE no idea what time it is when I open my eyes. The hotel clock is on the other nightstand, and my 6’5” gently snoring man is draped over me pinning me to the bed. I try to scoot out from under him, but my slight movement makes him grab ahold of me, and he pulls me to him even tighter. I snuggle in resolved to enjoy the moment, and I fall back asleep.
The weight shifting off of me brings me from my dreamless sleep. I slowly begin to
