Chains

Chapter 32

"So how do you like you're new home?"  I scrunched my nose up as I made my self comfortable on the huge leather couch. My eyes admired the gorgeous decor of  the massive living room I was in but I wasn't about to tell Maluma that. 

"Eh,its better than nothing" I said nonchalantly as I suppressed every urge I had to fawn over the modern yet sleek house that I just moved into. I found it hard to let him know that I actually like the place after I spent so much time and energy doing everything to not move here.Although I had agreed to moving in when I reached 7 months in my pregnancy, I was able to delay it for another month,much to Maluma's dismay.

I watched as he inched towards me and took a seat next to me,placing his arm around my shoulder.He sported a wide grin,signalling that he saw through my facade. It was scary how well he could read me but I had to remind myself that after ten months of dating,I should expect no less. 

"Its okay to say you like it,you know. I won't rub it in your face" he said as he gently pinched my cheek with his free hand. I rolled my eyes playfully and swatted his hand away which earned me a soft chuckle.

"Its ok" I finally said followed by a shrug. I glanced at him just in time to see him raise his brows.

"Just ok?" he questioned,obviously amused at how hard it was for me to verbally give this house a decent compliment.I scrunched my nose up once more then let out loud sigh.

"What do you want from me?" I asked,dragging out the last words of my question.My lips morphed into a pout as he dived into a fit a laughter at my 'decent comment giving' incompetence. His laughter carried on way longer than I liked which caused me to eventually get up.

"Where are you going?" he managed to ask as he calmed himself down. He quickly grabbed my hand to prevent me from moving away.

"To take a shower,or did you forget that you asked me out to lunch?" I asked as he stood up as well.

"Oh yes" he said,obviously forgetting about our plans. Maluma glanced at his watch,his face morphing into a look of horror. "And we need to hurry" he declared as he quickly took out his phone and basically ran upstairs with it.My brows furrowed in confusion as his actions added to his unusual behaviour that had been going on for the past three months. My mind went back to still unknown thing that he refused to tell me that day when we found out the gender of our baby and I was sure his behaviour was linked to that.

"Louisa!" Maluma yelled from the top of the stairs when he realized that I hadn't moved an inch."¡Date prisa,mi amor! We're very late".

For the millionth time today I scrunched my nose up at him but I didn't argue with him. I slowly but surely made my way up the stairs and past the anxious latino who was now talking to someone on his phone.I tried my best to prolong the walk to the master bedroom but Maluma wouldn't tolerate my eavesdropping.

"Lou" he said in a warning voice as he took the phone way from his ear. I gave him a small pout before reluctantly entering the bedroom to get ready. Once I had decided on wearing a white maxi dress, I quickly made my way to the bathroom to take a shower.

After a good fifteen minutes I was out of the shower and dressed in my maxi dress. I stepped out of the bedroom in search of Maluma. As I neared the end of the stairs,my gaze met his. To my surprise he was sporting a white button down shirt, which revealed parts of his chest tattoo, as well as a pair of coral shorts. 

"Ay mi amor, eres tan hermosa" he said as I inched towards him. Once I was close enough,he wrapped his arms around me and leaned down to steal a kiss. He gave me a wide smile once he succeeded removed his hands from my waist and instead he held on to my hand. Before I could respond,he began to drag me towards the door .
