She's mine

Christmas

This chapter made me emotional..........

Xavier's POV
We were moving away tommorow
All our clothes and priced possessions had been taken to New York 3 days ago

I got home early today
I still had some moving related paperwork to sort out
After a very tiring day all I want now is to eat and get under the covers with my dear wife

I found her at the corner of the library typing on the computer I got her
She was so caught up in her work

I leaned in on the door and crossed my arms
Watching her the soft sounds of the keyboard has she typed made it more peaceful for me to watch

I wanna brag about her to the world she was the best wife excluding the part of her when she is afraid of me
But excluding that she was just perfect

I took in her position and appearance
Her one hand on her tummy and the other typing
She was wearing a grey sundress which rode up to her knees as she sat

I noticed how peaceful she was when she wasn't around me
When she is close up to me I see and feel her get tensed under my gaze or touch
But has the days passed by her eyes doesn't show fear again but instead it seems as though she was fighting a battle within herself

I coughed wanting her to acknowledge my presence
She raised up her head and a small smile appeared on her face
"Uhmmm...... welcome" she said slowly
This was surprising

"Hello wife" I greeted
"How long have you been standing over there" she said closing her system and putting it on the table
"Maybe 10 minutes" I shrugged and she just stared at me twisting her head to the side

"Can we talk?" She said and I looked at her surprised
What does she want to talk about

"Yea..." I said still leaning on the door
"Uhmm.... can you come take a sit" she said scooting so I could sit beside her
The space was not small but I have a huge body and that space would probably make me squash her in the small chair

I sat beside her and she shifted uncomfortably
She looked down at her kneaded fingers
Something she does when nervous or tensed

"Am listening" I said and she jumped lightly as I brought her back to reality
"Are you still obsessed with me" she said
I laughed out softly as I watched her face turn bright red

"Don't laugh" she said pouting
The problem was that I didn't know how to answer this
I wonder what was going through her mind
Wait....was she going to leave me

And just like that the smile on my face varnished has though it was there before
"Why are you asking" I said looking at her twisting my eyebrows

"Well am.... you know New York tomorrow, a new life.....good people" she said stammering throughout the whole sentence
I barely understand what she is saying

"Explain" I said simply
Because I really don't see why she is stuttering
She sighed
"I want a new life" she said and it seems my whole world just stopped

"Not just me I want for both of us to begin a new life...." she paused and held my hands with hers
"Together"

The statement I had been praying to hear in forever
Even though I know and she also know she has no other choice
Am still at peace knowing she has finally given in to me

"Do you mean it" I said rising my hands to her cheeks
"Y...yes" she said breathlessly she still had that look
She was probably thinking of her decision, was it right or wrong
But I'll make sure she doesn't ever, not for even a second regret choosing me
