Chapter 8

It was almost midnight when Nora woke up from her sleep. She couldn't fell asleep. She wanted to eat blueberry cake. So she quickly got up and went to the kitchen. But when she opened the refrigerator she didn't find any cake. She felt like crying. She felt upset unreasonably.

Her pregnancy hormones were affecting her emotions. She couldn't control her tears when she realised they didn't have any cake let alone blueberry cake. Sighing in frustration she started to head in her room. But she stopped on her tracks when she was passing Zanvil's room.

She debated with herself if she should ask him to bring her blueberry cake or not. What if he got angry? But she knew she wouldn't be in peace if she didn't eat the blueberry cake. After battling with herself she decided to take the risk. She knocked on his door for few times but didn't get any reply.

Sighing in disappointment she turned to leave when the bedroom door opened and there came a shirtless Zanvil only in his sweatpants. She looked at his tempting chest. His hair was dissolved. He looked really handsome with his sleepy state that she could jump on him in an instant and eat him instead of the blueberry cake.  Her hormones were full on swing. She shook her head to get rid of her unholy imagination.

"What do you want at this time of night?" He asked in a sleepy voice. His voice was husky. He rubbed his face to get rid of his sleepiness. He looked so hot.

"I want to eat blueberry cake but we don't have it in our house." She said almost in the verge of tears.

"So?" He asked coldly. Like she didn't got what she meant.

"Uhmm could you please bring me some?" She asked hopefully. Her eyes was watery.

"What? Are you crazy? In this time you want me to bring you some fucking cake that you want to eat? Have you fucking lost your mind?" He yelled at her angrily.

"I-I am s-sorry. I-I  didn't m-mean to make y-you a-angry. I s-should leave." She shuttred  while tears ran down her cheeks from her eyes. She felt really bad for waking him up in the midnight for her silly food cravings. She quickly turned to leave. She made him angry with her stupid cravings.

Zanvil was shocked would be an underestimate. He never saw her crying. He felt bad for her at the same time guilty for his behaviour. He shouldn't have yelled at her. For a moment he forgot she was pregnant and behaved like an asshole. When she turned to leave he quickly stopped her.

"Wait. I will get dressed and bring the car keys." He said to her and went inside his room.

Nora was a little shocked. Did he just agree to bring her blueberry cake? When did he turned so good towards her. But she felt happy.

Zanvil came out of his room dressed in a hoodie. Instantly Nora's eyes caught the hoodie. She wanted it. It looked so comfy. Nora quietly followed Zanvil.

"You don't need to come with me. I will go and bring it." Noticing her following behind him.

"B-but I also want to go. I want to chose the beautiful cake." Nora said with a small pout. Her eyes held hope that he wouldn't refuse her. He didn't.  Sighing he let her follow him. He took out his car and they both climbed in the car.

Soon Zanvil pulled in front of a bakery shop. Nora immediately ran out of the car. When she entered in the shop she saw a elderly lady and man was coming out of it.

"Please don't close the shop. I want a blueberry cake." Nora almost begged them with her eyes.

The couple looked at her shocked then smiled.

"Don't worry dear, we will close it after giving you your cake." The lady smiled at her warmly.

Nora almost squealed in happiness.

When Zanvil came inside he saw his wife was eating her blueberry cake and chatting happily with the couple. The lady noticed him and smiled at him.

"O come dear. You must be her husband. You know food cravings are normal during pregnancy. You have to handle it patiently." The lady said to him while handing him few packets.

"These are the cakes she wants to eat." She said and smiled warmly at him. Zanvil looked at Nora who was lost in her own world.

"Let's go Eleonora." He called her to leave. She came out of her trance and nod at him. Zanvil paid for the cakes and they left from there.

"I want to eat ice cream."

"What?" Zanvil was shocked to hear his wife's demand. She just ate 3 piece of cake and now she wanted to eat ice cream.

"I said I want to eat ice cream. Will you please side the car in front of that ice cream parlour? I saw it when we were coming and it was open. They shouldn't close it just in 20 mins. They should wait for me." She said to him hopefully then mumbled the last part to herself.

Zanvil didn't say anything. Wait for her? How would they know she was coming to buy ice cream? Zanvil hid the amusement in his eyes. 

After sometime he parked the car in front of the  ice cream parlour. He told her to stay in the car and went to bring ice cream by himself. He came back with one ice cream in his hand and handed it to her while getting in the car.

"Only two? But I told you that I want 3 no 5" Nora said while pouting.

Zanvil looked at her and noticed how adorable she was looking while pouting. He shook his thoughts.

"You will catch cold and fall sick. It's not good for you nor the baby." He said unconsciously.

When he realised his words he looked at her and she was already staring at him. He quickly looked away. Nora didn't say anything. She kept eating quietly. But inside she felt happy that he at least cared for the baby.

When they reached home Nora had already fell asleep. So without waking her up Zanvil carried her in his arm in bridal style. But when he entered in the house he didn't know which one was her room.

He never went inside her room. Now he couldn't go and open every room's door to check which one was hers, could he?

Sighing in frustration he brought her in his room and lay her down on his bed. He was about to go to the couch but unconsciously Nora held him in her sleep. For a moment he looked at her and couldn't keep his eyes off her. She looked beautiful. Unconsciously he climbed on the bed and laid beside her.

Nora snuggled in his chest and wrapped her arms around his torso. He tried to remove her hands but couldn't. Sighing he let her hug him and wrapped his arms around his wife. Soon peaceful sleep consumed him.
