Married to Mr Right - Season 1 - Episode 87

. *******
I was seated on the couch, doing nothing in particular. I was just bored of everything.
Mom won’t even let me go out, insisting that if I was really bored then I should visit the gym.

I didn’t want to argue so I just remained quiet, staring at the ceiling occasionally trying to count the lines and designs. stupid!
Mom dashed out of her room holding a pile of laundry.

I glanced at the clock.
“Aren’t you gonna make dinner? it’s getting late” I tell her
“Don’t worry about that. Ben said not to. he’s bringing a visitor for dinner and he said he’s going to order on his way home” she explains

“Visitor? who could that be?” I was forced to ask

“He said a friend at work. at least that’s what he told me and that’s why I’m trying to put things in order”

“And you’re doing a very good job”
“Sometimes I wish you weren’t pregnant so you can help me around here” she blurts out

“Sometimes I’m so happy I am. especially with these kinds of reasons”
“Anyways” she took a quick pause “I told Ben to get you your medicines from the hospital on his way back from work.”
“thanks mom”

“now go and shower. You’ll need to look nice to welcome our guest and since its a friend of Ben. let’s make a good impression OK?”

“OK whatever”
I quickly rushed inside my room to get ready for dinner.

I had my shower and changed my outfit then set out to get the table ready.

By this time, it was already 7:45pm.

I put on a new table cover, a vase of flower, plates and cutlery.

That’s when we heard the screeching on a car.

and few minutes later, the door flew open and Ben walked in.
“Hi Ben. good evening, how was wo–” I paused when our eyes met.

There he was, Brian standing handsomely tall in his tux.
I hugged Ben.

“Evening Ciara” he greeted
“Hi” I said casually.
I took the bags from Ben and Brian offered his, touching my hands in the process.
I walked into the kitchen and mom followed me.

“please tell me you had nothing to do with this?” I asked mom. she shrugged
“Simply because you’re having problems with your husband doesn’t mean we should too. he’s part of the family. believe it or not he’s my son in law and he’s not at fault here” she defends him
“I know but–”

“He only wanted to have dinner. so I let him. cause I know you won’t go even if I asked. it’s just for Tonight okay” she said kissing my cheeks.
She left to join them on the table. and very soon, dad and the rest of the family was seated as well. they reserved a spot for me, next to Brian of course.
My family is really good at match making.
I sat down beside him, occasionally trying to catch a glimpse of his face.
I didn’t say much on the table although everything indulged in one conversation or the other. the laughing and squeaking could be heard round the table.

I felt something slide up my bare legs. I almost choked splashing the water on my clothes and on the floor.
I turned to see Brian smiling Mischievously.
“I’ll go and clean myself up” I said standing up from the table.

I slipped on the water and almost fell down but luckily, Brian caught me.
I love his smell.

“You’ve got to be careful Ciara.” he tells me and I loosened myself from his grip.
“I’m fine thank you”
I entered the kitchen and wiped myself dry with a cloth, then proceeded to join them on the table.

“Ben did you get me my meds?” I ask
“Brian did”
“Here you go” Brian said handing it to me.
I hesitated but still took it.
“I’ll just take this to my room” I say going to my bedroom.
I sat down on the bed.

I don’t have any plans of going back there.
The door flew open and he walked in.
“Um… let’s go back. I guess they’re waiting for us” I said heading out the door but he prevented me from doing so by shutting the door.
I gulped.

“you don’t want to have dinner with me? it’s like you don’t even miss me Ciara. I’m trying to come closer but you keep pushing me away. why didn’t you tell me you were almost out on your medications?”
“I forgot”
“Don’t forget it’s my baby too. I don’t like reminding you of that fact”
“I get it. let’s go” I say but he only comes closer to me until I hit the wall.
“Brian, this is madness.”
he, wasn’t listening.
He went on one knee and gently placed his head on my tummy.
“How are you baby Kiara. I know you’ve missed me. don’t worry daddy will be with you forever OK. we both know your mummy can be so stubborn but I’ll handle her. sleep tight. daddy loves you” he said and kissed my stomach.

I was smiling but didn’t realize it.
He stood up and faced me.

my hands went to hold my stomach in place.
“Please tell your daddy that I love him and I can’t keep the two of you apart forever no matter the circumstances we find ourselves. I’ll only love him more”
“I love you Ciara” he said and trailed his fingers down my cheeks and kissed me on the lips.

“I’ve missed you Ciara” was all he said before hugging me.

I let myself enjoy the moment. even for a short while. I’ve missed him so much.
“Mr Salter”
“Yes Mrs Salter”
“control yourself please” I beg
“I’ve been away from you for so long and you want me to control myself.”
“I’m sorry I pushed you away Brian”
“it’s okay Ciara. you don’t have to explain or feel guilty. I love you”
he kissed me again.

Just then his phone vibrated.. he picked it up And instantly his mood changed.
“Hello Jerry” he replied. I couldn’t hear the rest but all Brian said was “OK. I’ll be with you shortly.He quickly put his phone inside his pocket and turned to cup my face. “Is everything OK?” I ask
“Of course”
“who were you talking to?”
“Um… just a, friend”
“then why did it suddenly change your mood?”

“I promise I’ll let you on it later but right now, I’ve got somewhere else to be” my suddenly became sad.

“Hey I’ll call you okay. every minute I get. it’s just that its very important–” “it’s okay I understand. you can go”
“You’re not mad?”
“not at all”
“I love you” he whispers and I smile.
“you too.”
“what should I tell mom?”
“don’t worry I’ll handle it”
“make sure you take your meds okay?”
I nodded.

“I will now go”
He kissed my cheeks and we both exit my room. He quickly kissed mom and dad goodbye and left for wherever he said he was going. The minute he left the house, I shut the door and turned around only to find everyone staring at me. Now what?
