Chapter 21

Felicity looked at her but she could still picture how she was holding little Ray and the way little Ray was holding her too. She hates to think of it and seeing Grace was just annoying her more. She was not the type to get angry over such a thing but deep in her heart she knows she doesn't want to look at Grace's face now, why she felt like that? She doesn't know.
"I think you should leave."
Grace was shocked.
"Feli, nanny Mercy said I should stay with you till she returns."
"Little Ray is back now, I will be okay."
"But..."
"Just leave Grace, I'm sure your boyfriend is looking for you and your mom. Isn't it late already? That's what you use to say."
"I know but my mom and my boyfriend knows I'm here with you" she stood up and grasped Felicity's hands in hers" I will tell you what, how about we play hide and seek while we wait for nanny Mercy, hmm?"
"I'm tired, I want to go to my room and sleep."
"Oh" Grace made a sad face but Felicity was not even looking at her "you really want me to go?"
She nodded.
"Okay then, I will come back tomorrow."
"Don't come tomorrow."
"Why? When I told you I will come tomorrow earlier, you were happy."
"Yes, but I just remembered I will like to sleep tomorrow too."
Grace frowned, what kind of excuse was that? Did she think everybody is as stupid as she is? Who will buy that lame excuse? Even though she was angry she still softened her voice when she asked "when do you want me to come then?"
"I will tell nanny Mercy to call you."
"Okay then. I'm leaving" she picked up her handbag from the sofa and faced Felicity once more "take care of yourself Feli, don't forget to tell nanny Mercy to call me."
Felicity nodded.
"I'm leaving now. Oh I just remembered, let me go tell little Ray I'm leaving."
"Don't worry I will tell him" she blocked her path.
Grace looked at how she was blocking her and a cold glint flashed in her eyes, she knew it. Felicity is stopping her from seeing Raymond. Since when did she become so intelligent? How can she tell that she lied about the massage?
But it's okay, is only a matter of time, after all, Felicity is the one who use to beg her to come see her. She will just give her two days and she will beg nanny Mercy to call her, "okay then. Bye, take care of yourself."
Felicity only nodded and watched her leave. She stood and stared at the door, her mind picked up the image in little Ray's room again and she became angry. She turned and climbed up the stairs.
Raymond opened his door to see Felicity getting into her room, he called to her and she stopped without looking at him. He looked at the stairs but there was no sign of Grace following her, "where is Grace?"
"She left" she answered and opened her door.
Raymond rushed to her immediately and he grabbed her arm to stop her, "what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just want to sleep."
"Felicity, as the saying goes, husband and wife will tell each other things. So tell me as your husband, what's the matter."
Felicity heaved a sigh, she too doesn't know what's wrong with her, "I don't know" she shrugged.
Raymond made her face him, he put his two fingers on her chin and slowly raised her face to look at him "tell me, how are you feeling?"
"I really don't know little Ray but I know I don't like the way I saw you holding Grace. I don't even know why I'm not happy with that. It's not like me" she looked deep into his eyes.
"It's okay, I understand" he caressed her left cheek with his thump "what if I promise I will not hold her like that again, will you be happy?"
Her eyes shunned like the evening stars and Raymond knew he was on the right track.
"Then I promise" he said when she nodded.
Felicity smiled then, she was feeling happy already with just his promise "thank you little Ray."
"Anything for my little wife. Now, what should I buy for you to make you happy?"
Felicity fell into contemplation, after a while, she looked up at him and slowly shook her head "nothing."
The answer took Raymond by surprise, this was the first time he had asked her what to buy for her and she said nothing.
Is his little Felicity growing up?
Firstly she was jealous and now she wants nothing, wow, "you really mean nothing?"
"Actually, there is something."
Ah, guess he was too fast into concluding.
"What then?"
"Let me give you a massage" she smiled.
Raymond froze.
Why would she want to give him a massage?
"Come on, let me give you a massage" she started dragging him towards his room.
Raymond knew if he should refuse her, then they will go back to talking about Grace and so he gave in.
They entered his room and he went and sat on the bed.
Felicity looked at him surprised, "why are you sitting down?"
"For you to give me a massage."
"But you are not wrapping a towel" she left for his bathroom and returned with a towel "here, wrap this" she handed it to him.
Raymond stared at the towel in her outstretched hand puzzled, why will he need to be in a towel before she could massage him?
And then he remembered, he was in a towel when she saw him and Grace. He face palmed and took the towel from here "I will go change then."
"Okay."
He sighed and entered his closet. Deal with it Raymond, you brought it upon yourself.
When he returned, he made to sit down again but she stopped him. She went and stood in front of him, she placed his hand on her waist and she started kneading his shoulders.
Getting a hold of what she was doing, Raymond chuckled. Felicity can be really cute when she was jealous and what's worse? He enjoys it. He love her attitude when jealous and with the gentle way her hands were kneading his shoulders, he felt satisfied. Does he love that feeling? Hell no, a big fat no.
He doesn't like how she makes him feel at home.
He doesn't like how her gentle touch triggers him.
He doesn't like how being so close to her was driving him insane?
He doesn't like how knowing he can't have her was giving him a tantalizing feeling to have her and the urge to own her, to kiss her and to do all the undo-ables with her. To explore all the secrets of the matrimonial bed with her. He doesn't like any of it but what he wouldn't give to have them.
To taste her lips.
To taste her honeypot.
To make her his.
To shout it from his rooftop that his little childish bride was driving him insane.
He opened his eyes to see how she was concentrated on massaging his shoulders. The serious look on her face and he swore to hell and back that she looked...
Beautiful!
He lowered his head and covered her cute little lips which she had pouted in her seriousness with his. He kissed her passionately.
Shit!
He couldn't believe he was loosing to Katherine.
He couldn't believe that he, Raymond Baldwin is attracted to his cute childish bride.
