Chapter twenty one

Kono was agitated and annoyed, her hormones wreaking havoc with her emotions. She had never been the sort of girl to worry about her figure she was so used to surfing and being around half naked people that she herself was incredibly confident about her body. There had been one time when all her close friends had boyfriends at the same time and she didn't which made her doubt herself but her mother and Chin had knocked the sense back into her. When she met Adam however she had felt different, she didn't know if it was self-consciousness but she almost felt like she was desperate for him to find her attractive maybe it was because she liked him so much. She stood in her underwear in front of the mirror and looked to her figure. She was tall, slim and broad. She knew she didn't have big boob but it had never been an issue for her and Adam didn't seem to care. Two of her other sexual partners had commented on it but things never worked out anyway. She moved to stand on the side and looked to her stomach, all she saw was fat. Her stomach was beginning to protrude and she looked down at it miserably.

Adam entered the bedroom and frowned seeing Kono staring at herself in the mirror half naked.

"Babe what are you doing?" He asked with a small chuckle.

Kono turned and started at him for a brief moment before bursting into hysterical tears taken Adam by surprise.

"I'm so fat and ugly and you're laughing at me!" She sobbed.

Adam raised an eyebrow as he pulled her into a hug as she cried it out dampening his shirt with her tears.

"Sweetheart what's wrong, why are you crying?"

"Because I'm fat"

"Darling no you're not"

"I am…look!" She said as she stepped back and waited for Adam to look at her stomach.

"Kono your barley showing"

"But I'm all fat and bloated"

"Kono you're pregnant you're going to get bigger but you are not fat, your only a few month along!"

"You don't get it!" Kono exclaimed dramatically as she curled up on the bed.

Adam sighed and shook his head in disbelief unable to understand why Kono was suddenly acting like she was. He took a seat on the edge of the bed and waited a moment before speaking.

"Kono I promise you you're not fat you're having our baby"

Kono sniffled and peered at Adam through wet lashes.

"You don't think I'm fat?"

"No sweetheart"

"What about my boobs?"

Adam tilted his head and pouted his lips with a smirk, his eyes slightly wider.

"Ermm…"

"You don't like them!" Kono sobbed again as she slammed her head back into the pillow.

Adam resisted the urge to throw his hands in the air and instead lay down next to her, brushing her hair out her face.

"Talk to me" He said punctuating the words.

"My boobs"

"Yeah…."

"There so small"

"What?"

"I have small boobs…guys like big boobs…I dint have big boobs!" Kono sobbed.

"Okay Kono you need to sop being silly"

"I'm not!"

Adam sighed and rolled Kono onto her back while propping himself up on his elbow and looking down at her tear stained face.

"Why are you suddenly worried about your boobs?" He asked softly.

"Because there so small"

"Kono your hormones are messing with you, you have amazing boobs I don't care what size they are, you are beautiful every inch of you so stop worrying"

"Promise?"

"I promise you, now will you stop worrying"

"Hmmm"

Adam smiled and kissed her gently before they curled up together.

Adam stared in shock as Kono slammed the bedroom door in Adam's face. He turned and went to lay down on the couch for the night. He didn't understand why she was acting so irrational and becoming so concerned with her weight. He knew some idiot had made a comment about her being fat but it simply wasn't true. He sighed and stared up at the celling in frustration wishing she would see how beautiful she was.

Kono eventually managed to stop crying and finally let Adam's words sink in. She still felt fat and ugly but Adam was always so amazing to her she knew he loved her and his words did make her feel beautiful. She got out the bed and pulled Adam's t-shirt over her to cover her body before padding out to the lounge. She saw Adam resigned to the couch and felt bad for kicking him out the bedroom. She looked at him with his eyes closed. He looked so peaceful and relaxed but she was sure he wasn't yet fully asleep. She crawled along his body and he stirred smiling at her pleasantly and pulling her to lie against him. He grabbed the blanket and pulled it over them as Kono snuggled into him closer. Adam smiled and kissed her temple softly gently rubbing a hand up and down her arm.

"I'm sorry" Kono whispered.

"Don't be, just remember you are gorgeous and I love you and your body and don't you dare change a thing" Adam smirked.

"Thank you for making me feel beautiful"

"If you ever feel like your doubting your sexiness just tell me I'll make it better" Adam smirked.

Kono giggled and kissed Adam's neck before the two fell asleep curled in each other's arms on the couch.
