Please Don't
Hog the blankets at night. If you do, I will take them right back. Love is pain.
He wasn't used to not having Nikki at work with him – for the past 10 years they'd pretty much started and finished each working day together (apart from the rare occasion that either of them actually took any of their annual leave) He comforted himself with the fact that he was still able to start and finish each day with her – just with time apart in between. He was beginning to think she might not come back to work at all after her maternity leave was over- despite her saying to the contrary; he had a feeling that she'd much rather spend her days watching Disney classics with Abby than cutting up dead bodies with him.
The worst part though, was not the few hours apart during the day, it was the nights on call where he had to drag himself out of bed, without waking her, and then come home hours later to a dark, silent home. On his first call out when she was on leave, he'd completely forgotten and woken her – he had trouble remembering a moment in their relationship where she had been more annoyed with him.
As he crept up the stairs, and slowly pushed the door open (like him, she was a stupidly light sleeper), he couldn't help rubbing his hands vigorously up and down his arms, trying to warm up – he often mused that, if people had to be insane murderers, they could at least have the courtesy to do it in summer and during the day. He peeled his sodden clothes off and slid into bed. He glanced over at her serene sleeping face – she almost looked like she was smiling; he noticed that she was still in her clothes and that the collar of her shirt had some baby sick on it. He briefly reconsidered his next action, she must have been exhausted, but then, so was he – and when he was that tired, as a general rule he wasn't overly selfless.
"Bastard," She moaned, as he pulled the duvet to his side.
I apologize for the lack of updates – I looked and I can't believe I've haven't posted anything for about a month. These past 3 weeks I've been in Malawi and South Africa volunteering – most amazing time of my life – now I can see why Nikki likes it so much :D
Hopefully, I'll be updating more, as it summer holidays.
ALSO, read loads of stories and haven't reviewed as I've been on my iPod – I WILL REVIEW (eventually)
:)
