Chapter 10
Donut woke up to the morning sunlight shining through the white curtain. She sat up in bed & stretched her arm before letting out a yawn. Last night, she went straight to bed after coming home from the party with Dan. His words was still lingering in her mind, so she made sure she fell asleep before Dan had the opportunity to try anything, but howll she continue avoiding him? Donut stood up from bed & made her way to the closet, taking out her clothes for the day & placing it on the white bed, when she heard the bathroom door open. She turned around & her jaw dropped at the sight before her. There stood Dan, in just a white towel; fresh from the shower. She was married to an absolute god. Her jaw dropped further at his glistening chest before she met his amused look. When Dan stepped towards her, she took a step back. He smirked at her reaction & took another step towards her & another & another until he saw her bump the table next to their bed. He didnt stop until he was merely an inch away from her, caging her in between his body & the table. He was so close that he could hear her heavy breathing. Donut tried to look at anything else but Dan. He was so close that she could smell his morning shower. She saw a droplet of water trail down his chiseled chest & she gulped hard, but she still refused to look into his eyes. Donuts heart beat skyrocketed, however, when Dan leaned in. She turned her head to the side in an attempt to avoid his lips, but Dan simply stood there, not even attempting to kiss her, his lips barely grazing her cheek. Donut then, felt Dan reach behind her & gave a surprised look when she saw him take his watch from the table behind her. Dan then, stepped back & gave Donut an innocent look, as if getting his watch was the only thing on his mind. She huffed out an angry breath & stomped her way to the bathroom. Once the door was closed, Dan let out a soft chuckle & started getting dressed for work. On the other hand, Donut leaned against the bathroom door & placed a hand on her speeding heart in an attempt to calm it down. Later that evening, Donut waited for Dan, dressed in an empire-waist a-line with square neckline. Knee-length; chiffon; yellow dress. She flipped open her cell phone once again, making sure she read the text message correctly sent to her by Dan earlier that day. It read:Num & his girlfriend Benz invited us to dinner tonight. Be ready by 6pm. <3
-Dan
She read the text several times, still trying to let it sink in. Dinner at Nums with Dan. Dans harsh words from that night played back in her mind. Having dinner with Num seemed like a bad idea after what Dan thought of her relationship with him. Its not only weird, but its way out character! They rarely went to dinner as a couple to a friends house. They only had to put on the act of a husband & wife at a social & business event, where the media was present, but other than that, Dan avoided spending time with Donut at all cost. They always made an excuse when invited to a friends house like Danny was sick, there was too much work, it was always something or the other. Dans new attitude towards her is something she wasnt familiar with & she didnt know what to expect. Donut was pulled out of her thought when she heard the honk of a car outside. That was her cue. She took a deep breath & headed out to Dan waiting in his car. Dinner with Num & his girlfriend Benz was going rather smoothly, much to Donuts surprise. She was expecting the worst on the drive there. She was sure it would be awkward considering how Dan accused her & Num of having a sexual relationship, but Dan was rather comfortable throughout dinner. Nums girlfriend Benz was a complete sweetheart, & Dan chatted with Num as if they were long lost friends, but what stuck out to Donut the most from dinner was Dans laugh, & shed to admit, it was a treat to see Dan laugh like that again. His dimpled smile seemed to lighten up his already handsome face. Itd been so very long since Donut saw Dan laugh from the heart. She saw him truly enjoying himself after all these years, Donut, be a darling & pass the bread, will you? Num asked. Donut was about to lift her right hand to the bread basket when she felt Dan grab her wrist under the black table cloth. She glared at him only to be met with an innocent look as Dan pretended to concentrate on his food. She twisted her hand to loosen his hold, but to no avail. When Donut noticed Num waiting & giving her a curious look, she smiled & passed him the bread basket with her left hand. She then, tried to twist her hand again, but Dan only tightened his hold, & when she glared at him again, he simply scooped up more food to cover his naughty smirk. After a few more attempt, Donut finally gave up & let Dan hold her hand for the rest of dinner, with him occasionally stroking the inside of her wrist with his thumb. As they entered their bedroom, Donut went straight to the dressing table to take off her jewelry. She completely ignored Dan & reached behind her neck to unhook her silver with crystals, cubic zirconias, faux pearls, white gold plating, & 16-18 adjustable length necklace. However, she felt Dans gaze on her & that prevented her from successfully unhooking her necklace. Neither said anything & she continued to fumble with the hook until finally she felt Dan reach for it. Their eyes met on the mirror as Dan easily unhooked the necklace & removed it from Donuts neck. He didnt move back, however. He stayed right behind her & gazed intently at her through the mirror. He then, placed his hand on her arm, lowered his head, & placed a soft kiss on the back of her neck. Donut closed her eyes as she slowly fell under his spell. She couldnt seem to move. The gentle press of his lips shot warmth throughout her body. She clenched her hand into a fist in an attempt to fight this sensation, but she felt herself slowly losing control when he placed another gentle kiss on her shoulder. The cry from the baby monitor startled both of them. Dans hold on Donut loosened & she took this opportunity to jerk away from him. She rushed out of the room before Dan managed to utter a single word. Dan watched Donuts retreating back & heaved a heavy sigh. He then, rubbed his chest in an attempt to ease the ache he felt. Donut picked up a crying Danny & soothed him. She tried to calm herself as well as her son, but the press of Dans lips left a tingling sensation on her neck. She still felt the warmth from it & Donut held her son closer for comfort, For the longest time Ive wished for your fathers love, but his cold behavior always scared me. Donut murmured, as she rocked a drowsy Danny, But now I feel terrified. Hes slowly melting the ice & Im so very terrified. She softly admitted, as Danny finally closed his eyes & drifted off to dreamland once again.
