Abandoned

Chapter 31: One Night Only

-Melissa's POV-

I just sat there at the side of the bed with my stomach growling, desperately needing for food. I sighed as I knew that I couldn't find any food around this time but I'm too hungry. I had no choice but to get up and went to Chris' room, asking for the food that I want - cheesecakes.

I quietly opened my temporary bedroom door and tiptoed to my used-to-be bedroom. I walked as fast as I could as the floor is damn cold. I twisted the doorknob and quickly went inside before I could freeze to death if I continue standing there with my feet getting cold like ice. I quietly closed the door and went towards Chris who is sleeping soundly.

I stood beside a sleeping Chris. He only wore a sweatpants and nothing else. His upper body is bare for everyone to see, or should I say, just me. Gosh, his abs. His hands were neatly placed below his head, in between the pillow and his head. What amused me is his cute frown plastered on his face. Without warning, I quietly sat beside him and started stroking his smooth hair. But then, I stopped as he started to move around a little bit. I quickly stood up and acted like nothing happened. That when I noticed that I just checked out my ex-husband. I physically facepalmed myself and sighed.

I reached out for him and started shaking his shoulder. "Chris... Chris, wake up!"

No answer. I growled. "Chris, wake up!"

I woke him up with a little louder voice but he still didn't answer. I had no choice but to get on top of him since he just turned his body that make his abs show upwards. I climbed onto him and sat on top of his hard abs. I started punching his chest and shouted, "Chris, wake up!"

And it worked. His eyes shot wide-opened and had a panicked look on his face. But the sad thing is that I ended up at the other side of the bed as he stupidly moved his body to the original position that I saw him when I walked in. I groaned in pain, holding onto my baby bump. I slapped Chris' arm many times. He turned to face me in his lullaby mood. Noticing that I'm holding my stomach, he sat really close to me and put his arm behind me for support.

"Oh my God, Mel. What's wrong?" He asked. He is indeed really close to me as I could feel his breath tickling my neck. I just took a deep breath, not bothering to answer him. I shamelessly put my head on his shoulder and continued to calm myself down. He wrapped his arms around me, giving me warmth. I sighed right after I already calmed down.

"Feeling better?" Chris asked, stroking my back.

"Yeah, it's just painful due to the cramps and other shit that happened when undergo pregnancy." I said. He chuckled and stroked my hair afterwards.

"Why do you wake up? Do you like have any nightmares?" He changed the topic. Before I could tell him the reason, my stomach growled again but this time is much more louder. My cheeks started to blush red with embarrassment as I know that Chris heard it. I covered my face and buried my face on top of his chest. I heard him chuckled which makes me more embarrassed. I punched him in the chest and he started to laugh.

"Could you stop laughing! I'm hungry." I demanded him. I crossed my arms over my chest and pout at him. He stopped laughing but he has a wide grin on his face.

"If you keep on pouting and crossed your arms, I'm getting more amused. You want to know why? Because you are not wearing any bra underneath my shirt and I could see those sexy nipples that is hiding there." He smirked. I could feel my jaw dropped. I quickly recovered it and put my hands by my side. I had no choice but to slap Chris. Of course, he will glare at me. So I take that as a chance for me to tease him back.

"What the-? What the hell is that for?" He asked me in an angry way. His eyebrows furrowed and the cute frown is back. I bit my lip and giggled at his expression.
