Tony notice that Veronica has been quiet. She hasn't taken a bath yet and she's standing on the door of the balcony. Thinking deep with her phone in her hand. He has finish cooking and he haven't heard from her. He wrapped his arms from her back and kisses her neck lightly.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." She answer.

"Then let's eat." He knows that something is wrong but he didn't want to ask further.

She ate a little and if he didn't tell her to eat more, she wouldn't. She's thinking so deep and she look worried. He scoop her face and check if she has a fever.

"Tell me, what's wrong?" She didn't respond. He bath her after their lunch and still, she wasn't in her right mind. She stays on the bed, wearing his s.h.i.+rt and still holding her phone.

He notice it all. So maybe to divert her attention, he start working on kissing her. Maybe seducing her would make all of her worry disappear. He caress her face and kisses it lightly.

"Baby…" he murmurs as he pull her phone and put it away. "What's the matter?" She only look up at him. "Come on, I'm worried."

"It's nothing."

"You always say that." He pull her s.h.i.+rt up and she willingly let him take it off. "I'll make love to you… maybe it will help you for a while."

"Will you?" She pushes him down and straddle him. He fixed his eyes on her and brushes her hair back. She kiss him and he kiss her back but it ends there. She lay over him and hug him. His woman needs comfort than s.e.x so he wrapped his arms around her and keep kissing her head.

"Whatever you are thinking—it will be fine. It will be fine."

"I hope so."

"Did something bad happened to someone?"

"Might be." She mutter.

She pushes herself up and lay on the other side. She reach his hand and pull it.

"Make love to me." He sat up and get between her legs. He kiss her pa.s.sionately and kiss her down there. He wanted to pleasure her more than himself until she was moaning and screaming and that made her forgets about everything.

He made love to her all afternoon until dinner. He has to buy their food since both of them are too lazy to cook. He made sure she's well taken care of because that is what a real man will do to his woman. Veronica was worried over something and he knows that it's a big deal.

So they order pizza and bucket of chicken then they settle in front of his big TV screen.

"Do you feel sore?" He asked and check if she was uncomfortable.

"I am fine."

"You always say that." He said and roll his eyes. Veronica couldn't help but to chuckle. He's acting like a woman and she is acting like a man. "Anyway, do you want me to—uhh…" he look down on her lap to point it out.

"Come on, we are eating!" She smack him. "I don't want to taste like chicken or pizza!"

"It will be fun." He grin.

"No. Besides, we can't have s.e.x while we are eating."

"Okay." He grin and pull her closer to him. "Just let me know what you want."

"I want to go out." She mutter.

"Shopping?"

"Hmm, maybe." Then her phone chimes. She immediately s.n.a.t.c.h it and check the message. It was Catriona's but not her old number.

I am fine. Work is done.

-Cat

She exhales finally relieved.

"Okay, let's shop tomorrow and make love tonight." She crawl to his lap and kisses his lips and then she continue eating.

"Everything is fine now?" She nodded. But still, she didn't know why she was worried even though Catriona texted her. So she call her just to confirm. Then it was answered after.

"Hey, when are you coming back?"

"I am not coming back. But you can visit me." Her voice was hoa.r.s.e.

"Are you okay?"

"Just flu. But I am fine. Don't worry. I'll see—I'll see you soon."

"Okay." She hang up and cuddle on him. Tony loves the cat that's cuddling him so he wrapped her in his arms.
