317 Going without me (1/2)
Tuesday
When Hou Yi awoke, he realised that it was just before 7am.As Anna was still asleep, he carefully slid out of bed ensuring that he did not disturb her, before selecting clothes from the wardrobe and entering the bathroom to get ready for the day.
When he came out of the bathroom fifteen minutes later, Anna was still asleep.He moved collected his mobile, and sat on the bed.He leaned over, and started to gently kiss Anna repeatedly on the lips, unable despite her being asleep letting the kisses get a bit more passionate.
Hou Yi's kisses woke Anna, and she sat up and stretched before noticing that he was dressed for the office.”What time is it.Why did you not wake me so I can get ready to go to the office,”
”Sweetheart, it is 7.15am, and you are exhausted.You need to rest, not only for yourself and recovery from your injuries, but you are pregnant and should not exhaust yourself.Stay home.There should be nothing pressing, and I will email Stan Williams and let him know that you will be unavailable for the rest of the week as you are exhausted.”
”Yi I love you, but I need to do something with my day.”
”You have your family, and you need to do some of the rehabilitation work, so spend time with them.Talk with everyone about putting into place most of the arrangement for our formal wedding.How about, we aim for about around ten weeks time in Australia.We do not have to be huge, and we will not have the concerns about your pregnancy being known too widely.Not the best weather, I know, but if we wait for that you will have to wait for a year and a half.”
”OK Yi, I will stay home, but you owe me.Now give me a kiss before you go.”
Hou Yi leaned over and gave Anna a deep passionate kiss, that was hard for both of them to pull away from.
Once Hou Yi left the room, Anna put her head back on the pillows and the next thing that she knew it was 9:30am, and Rosemary and James were beside the bed.
James said ”Come on miss sleepy head.It is time for you to get out of bed.Rosemary will shower you, and I will get ready for your rehabilitation session.This will be short, and then you can have breakfast.We will do a second session this afternoon, which will be longer.”
With that he leaned over and handed Anna her crutches for her to get out of the bed.Rosemary, was waiting for her at the wardrobe to help select clothes for the day.Anna out of the corner of her eye, saw James pulling the bed together, while Rosemary carried her clothes into the bathroom and she followed.
Rosemary shut the door, and started to wrap Anna's cast to protect it while she was in the shower.As she moved into the shower Anna's thoughts drifted back to yesterday morning in the shower with Hou Yi, how amazing things were given their admissions to each other.
