AWRY LOVE [1 & 2]

*BOOK II: EPILOGUE *

LARISA'S POV

A year later...

I threw the little empty box in the trash next to me and picked up my bottle, drinking more water to get rid of the better taste sticking on my tongue.

After drinking a few more gulps, I dropped the bottle on the makeup table infront of me and stare at the mirror. I let out a sigh as I stare at my reflection.

I just finished yet another box of pregnancy control pills. I don't know if I am still sticking to my tragic past or just not ready to get pregnant again. Does my dear husband knows that I take them? No, not at all. I feel guilty, including everytime he brings up being a father. We got married a year ago and he has been nothing but a loving and caring husband to me.

I love him as much as he loves me. Nothing can change that. I have told him about my past. That must be why he never asked me directly about how I feel getting pregnant after how I got a miscarriage. All he does is bring up how happy he would be, being a parent.

I stare at the mirror with my eyes blurred up with upcoming tears. Yes, I feel that guilty and bad for him. I love him but I just can't. I should try right? I should at least try and make him happy. I see how much he makes me happy. I should be able to do the same for him.

I turned to the trash and remembered I haven't torn it into pieces yet. I gasp and quickly took it from the trash and quickly start tearing it apart into tiny pieces, enough to not know what it was before throwing it all back in the trash.

"Darling!!" It's him, my eyes widen. I quickly check my eyes in the mirror. Thankfully it doesn't look like I was crying. I let out a breath and got up from the chair as Blake opens the door.

He smiled at me and walks closer towards me. I couldn't help but mirrored his smile. He engulfs me in a hug and I hugged him back.

"I missed you my golden." He says. I smirked.

"You just left for work this morning." I said.

"Yeah those hours felt like years." He says as he breaks the warm hug and moves just a bit back. He then stares at me and slammed his lips on mine, kissing me gently and passionately. I smiled and kissed right back, wrapping my arms around his neck.

I love him as much as he loves me. We broke the kiss few seconds later, lightly breathing heavily. He stares into my eyes for a bit too long and his eye brows raised.

"Darling?"

"Yeah?" I called, hoping he doesn't suspect I nearly cried.

"I noticed how you have been coming back from work looking exhausted."

I chuckled nervously. "Oh that. It's normal. You know, work can be stressful a times."

He sighs. "Don't stress yourself too much sweetheart. I have been telling you that."

I smiled at me. "It's okay. I'm okay."

"I think it's time you take a vacation, we take a vacation from work."

"What?" I asked surprised. "But work, many clients."

"You're a CEO and so am I. We are not going to get fired plus I have Clinton while you have Vivian to look after our work till we come back."

If that's what going to make him happy. Then why not. I slowly nodded. "Okay. But how long are we going to stay?" I asked. He lands a kiss on my forehead at my reply.

"Two weeks should be fine." He replied.

I smiled and nodded. "When are we going?"

"Today is Wednesday so, this weekend should be fine."
