Together
Chapter 8
Christine snuggled into Mike's side as he draped his arm over her. She could get used to this. He had been a total gentleman, taking his time and explaining things. It had hurt more than Christine anticipated but she had actually liked everything Mike had done. She was a bit intrigued and curious what would happen next. If she had to be married, maybe being married to Mike wouldn't be so bad. At some point, she fell asleep in Mike's arms.
It was actually the most restful sleep she had had all week long and the next time she woke up, daylight was streaming through the windows. She could hear Mike moving around in the kitchen area. Christine found her pajama pants and t-shirt from the night before and dressed. She was hurting a bit but gave Mike a smile.
"You were sleeping really good. I didn't want to wake you." Mike said. It looked like he was mixing up an egg mixture of some sort. He looked incredibly handsome; with just his pajama pants on, preparing breakfast.
"Its okay. I do think I want to take a shower or something before breakfast, though." Christine said.
"I knew you would waking up soon; so I ran you a bath just a minute ago. It might help with the soreness." Mike told her.
"Yeah, that sounds really good." Christine answered, touched by his thoughtfulness.
"Why don't you go take a bath and I'll fix breakfast? Do you need help?" Mike asked.
"No, thank you." Christine said. She gave him a soft kiss before walking into the bathroom. Sure enough, there was a warm bath ran, along with lit candles and a tray with fruit and chocolate. It was incredibly sweet and she settled into the bathtub after undressing. She knew she was in a honeymoon period and it wouldn't be hot baths and lit candles all the time, but it felt good for the time being. A little while later; Mike walked into the bathroom. Christine tried to cover herself, but Mike shook his head.
"No, don't cover up on my account. Breakfast is ready and I brought you some fresh pajamas. Do you need help?" Mike asked. He held up a towel and wrapped her in it as soon as she stepped out of the bathtub.
"Thank you." Christine said. As she dried off and dressed, he let the water out of the bathtub and blew the candles out. "Are you always going to spoil me so much?" Christine asked.
"I'll try but no guarantees." Mike said with a smile.
"Its not how I thought it would be." Christine said.
"No, I suppose not. I knew last night was going to traumatize you a bit. I just hope it wasn't too terrible?" Mike asked.
"No. I don't think it was. I'm a bit intrigued, which seems really wrong." Christine admitted.
"You aren't doing anything wrong by enjoying sex with me. I know you've been raised to think it is sinful, but there is no sin in this." Mike said as he led her into the living area. They sat down and began eating the delicious omelets.
"These are really good. I didn't know you knew how to cook?" Christine asked.
"I manage. A few basics." Mike answered between mouthfuls.
"I never learned." Christine admitted. It stopped Mike in his tracks.
"Never learned to cook? I heard your mom was a good cook." Mike asked.
"She can, but she never took the time to teach me. I do want to learn. I hope this isn't a deal-breaker?" Christine asked.
"Nah. It just surprised me. I will have Grammy help you." Mike said.
"Good. Thank you." Christine said. Mike just smiled in response, which in turn; made Christine weak in the knees.
"I figured we'd just…kind of stay in today. Relax. Enjoy…each other; I suppose." Mike said.
"Okay." Christine said. She knew what he meant, but it didn't bother her, due to being intrigued.
