I Want a Child Not a Wife

Chapter 23- The Beach Visit

I found Jane with the maid and she was applying ointment on her face. When the maid saw me she stiffened as Jane turned to look at me.

" Thank you, ma'am." The maid said taking away the first aid kit and excusing us.

Jane stood up and was about to walk away too like she didn't see me standing there but I threw her right back to where she was standing.

" Are you insane?" I asked her as I tried to control my anger.

" Am I insane? yes. When you let a crazy person live here what do you expect? I might not be your wife but am carrying your child so acord me that respect until I leave your life." She said in anger and I could see her eyes begin to tear up.

She wanted to move me with her tears but I was stronger than that.

" I want a peaceful life so please you can just let me stay in the other wing. I wouldn't have to encounter that woman."

" Not happening."

" Your child is going to be fine, okay, stop worrying. As much as you call him or her your child you forget I am also the mother and I want well for this child."

" You want well? But you jumped in front of a fight?" I asked her because clearly she wasn't making sense.

" I am pregnant, not defenseless. Know the difference." She caught me off guard and I couldn't help but stare at her.

Why were women so hard to understand?

I walked away with both anger and hunger. Men were so annoying. I wasn't going to stay in that room with him tonight, not when I was so angry.

I went to the kitchen and took whatever I could find. This house had many rooms and one of them was my favorite. The movie room.

I got into the room and closed the door making myself comfortable on one of the chairs. There was a big couch in one corner that I could use as a bed. I might as well sleep here tonight.

I played an episode of SpongeBob and couldn't help but laugh at SpongeBob and Mr Crab's relationship. Those two were funny as hell.

When I felt sleepy I dragged myself to the couch as I made myself comfortable without anyone disturbing or annoying me. As sleep took me.

When I was the next morning I felt a little pain in my neck, maybe because of the way I slept the couch was big enough to be a bed so I couldn't say it was uncomfortable.

I stretched my neck a few times but the pain was still there.

I got up from the couch and made my way out of the room.

I was hungry.

I wasn't even looking where I was going as my eyes were still half closed when I bumped into someone but as I lost my balance and was expecting to fall to the ground arms went around me steadying me.

" Where were you last night?" Not him. Does he have to be everywhere? Of course, it was his house he would be everywhere.

" That is none of your business. Your child is perfectly fine and I just need to eat 'cause I'm hungry so make way." He didn't argue with me, he just gave me way. It's a good thing he did because my emotions were just going haywire.

I called Rena to bring me pancakes and ice cream. That was what I was craving early this morning.

I went into the bathroom and had my shower then I wore shorts and a big shirt.

When I came out of the bathroom what I asked for was already kept on the bedside table and my mouth watered at the sight.

I quickly rushed to the food and picked the tray making myself comfortable on the bed as I started eating the pancakes and dipping the pancake into the ice cream and the taste was heavenly.

" What are you eating?" Not again. Can this man leave me alone? He got me pregnant. Now he doesn't want me to eat in peace.

He was looking at me and I turned up to look at him with a glare turning back to enjoy my food.

" I wonder what she'll be eating next?" I heard him mutter before he walked away. Thank goodness.

" Am off to work. Do take care of yourself." I nodded my head.  That was as much as I could give him.

When he left I enjoyed my food it was my special combination and I was going to enjoy it.

When I finished eating I called for the plates to be taken away as I settled down for my food to digest. I knew just where to spend my day today.

I picked up my bag already containing all I'll be needing for the beach as I walked out the door.

I was going with Rena because I couldn't leave her in this house for that witch to bully her.

" Did you take sunscreen?" She asked me to which I nodded. It was the first thing I dropped in my bag. I get sunburn whenever I stay under the sun for too long.

We got into the car and we drove to the beach.

It was just perfect there weren't many people there but it's the beach so, of course, people can't miss being on the beach on such a sunny day.

We set the umbrella and laid the blankets on the floor as we made ourselves comfortable.

" Wow. Look how the reflection of the sun cast a lovely glow on the ocean," Rena said as she pointed towards the water where it looked like the sun was on the water and there wasn't a doubt that it was beautiful.

I've always loved coming to the beach, for some reason I feel like the sound of the waves was like a therapy to my soul. It was all I needed sometimes.

We enjoyed the sun while listening to the sound of the waves.

My peace was interrupted when something struck into my flank knocking the wind out of me.
