Only Reason
Chapter 11: Annoyed
I sit on the living room floor at the coffee table, the laptop on the table top as I scroll through some things I'm thinking about getting for the baby, but of course I don't know if its a boy or a girl, so I'm just looking for some in between things.
Its been about a week since Niall said a word to me. He won’t answer me. He won’t come near me. He won’t even look at me if we just happen to be found in the same room. And when we’re in the bed, he has his back to me and is as far as he can be from me. I’m not sure what’s going on, or what caused it, but its annoying me bad.
Its getting on my last nervous.Because of our non-speaking relationship now, I sent Tori over to Perrie’s for a few nights. Its Friday, and I’m surprised Perrie was so glad to get her, but I know she’s just next door if she needs anything, thankfully.
I see Niall come through the front door, I guess he went to check the mail because he throws it down on the coffee table beside me before sitting down on the couch. I hold my breath, not wanting to begin crying because of his actions now.
I look over my shoulder at him.
He glances down at me just as I do so, but he looks away the same time I do. I stare at the computer screen, acting as if it never happened. I was looking at cribs. I wasn’t too sure if I liked the brown one, or the white one. But yet, if it was a girl.. white would go better. If it was a boy.. brown or black would go better.
Out of no where, my phone rang. I look around for it, not seeing it. I feel a tap on my shoulder and I look over at Niall. He’s holding my phone out for me. I gulp as I take it, his hand drops once its in my possession again.
I look at the ID. Its the Doctor. ‘’Hello?’’ I mumble as I answer it, holding it between my ear and my shoulder. ‘’Yes, Jana.. this is Doctor Braswell, and I was going to ask you if you would like to know the sex of your baby? We were going through the ultrasound videos and we found a clear perspective and a good sight of the sex.’’ He tells me.
‘’Oh.. well I don’t know.. yet.’’ I sigh gently. ‘’Well, if you want to know, just call me back.’’ He says kindly. ‘’I will, thank you.’’ I hang up the phone before any thing else was said. The fact of knowing what my little baby was was wonderful, but then reality hit me. I can’t find out unless Niall wants to. But I can’t talk to Niall since he won’t talk to me..I sit my phone down on the table and continue looking through some things.
“What are you looking at?’’ I hear that beautiful voice I’ve longed to hear for days now. I freeze, not knowing what to do in the moment. Before I knew what truly happened, I was joined by Niall. He sits down beside me, his legs under the table like mine. But he snakes his arm arm around my waist, pulling me as close to him as possible.
‘’Hmmm?’’ He hums in my ear as he leans his face closer to me. I smile gently as I continue looking at the things. ‘’Baby stuff.’’ I whisper, not too sure if I should talk louder or not. ‘’What did the doctor say?’’ He asks, curiously as I see from the corner of my eye that he’s looking at the lap top screen too.
“He said.. they know for.. sure.. what the baby is.. and he asked… if I wanted to know or not.’’ I say, quietly though. ‘’Do you want to?’’ He asks as I feel his hand, the one on my waist, slide under my shirt, his fingertips on my skin. I loved the way that felt, especially after so many days of not having him.
‘’I do.. but.. I didn’t.. want to know because I didn’t.. know if you wanted to.’’ I tell him, and look over at him. ‘’I do.’’ He nods lightly. I stare into his eyes as he stares into mine. This is the first time I’ve actually seen forgiveness and love, and care in his eyes in a few days.
I close my eyes as he closes his and our lips softly touch. It had been too long since I kissed him. And to be honest, I’m glad I was doing it right now. But one question still remains.. why was he so mad?
It's finally over! Time for the sequellllll!
