The selfish hours flew by quickly as my lazy eyes took a sip of the bright sun. Hazel fell asleep in my arms. Her perfect beauty was the flavor of Heaven, her suave skin, the melody of Paradise. I felt happy and lucky to have someone by my side. My morning was definitely the heat of Winter. The last thing I wanted to remember was Jack's confession. He told me that we needed to find the letter for our own safety but yet, revealed that he knew where it was. I was trying to collect the pieces and create a complete puzzle. I wanted answers and I was confused, far away from my heavy thoughts.

Good morning, Beautiful. Wake up.

The words splashed in my head like a waterfall and my mouth was dying to expose them in her sleepy ears. I held myself back due to the fact that she needed her beauty sleep and was pregnant with my adorable baby. Could it be a girl? Could it be a boy? I had no clue. The nervousness burned my mind with deep happiness. I was going to be a dad. A good dad, at least. A baby is a miracle from Heaven and Hell. It can bring you disappointments and perfect behavior.

I don't think I'm ready to tell my daughter to come home before ten, to stop messing around with bad boys and behave like daddy's perfect girl. If it's a boy, I'll lose my mind completely. I'll have to take away his games for a week as his punishment, educate him and teach him how to be a gentleman. I can imagine myself telling my son to use protection during intercourse with a girl.

Use a condom, son. You don't want to end up like me.

Hey, erase that. I might get in trouble with Hazel.

"Good morning, babe." Hazel caressed my back as I sat down on the edge of the bed. "How long have you been up?" Her question captured my attention. Hazel, I'm sorry my love, I didn't mean to wake you.

"Good morning, sweetheart." I kissed her forehead gently. "A few minutes ago..." I answered her question. "You should sleep. You need to take care of yourself and the baby." I proved my point.

"My head is about to explode." She revealed. "This headache is killing me." She took a deep breath and let it all out. "Are going somewhere?" She patted my back and teased me with her touch.

"Yeah, yeah." I flew my fingers through my soft hair. "I need to call Jack. There's something very important that we need to handle." We made eye contact. "Dr. Pen gave you pills for pain, am I right?"

"Yes but," She stammered, dragging the word 'but'. "I hate pills."

"Baby, listen," I caressed her face slowly. "I know you don't like pills but do me a favor and like them just for today. Okay?" I placed a tiny hair behind her right ear. "Can you do that for me?"

.

Bless you, Darling.

"Okay." She agreed, vaguely. "But first, can you promise me that you're going to stay home with me?" Her tone was wet with sickness. "I don't want to stay here by myself."

"Sweet Candy, I have to go somewhere with Jack." I reminded her of my previous words. "I told you that we needed to handle something very important." I let out a deep sigh. "Baby, please just try to understand."

"I'm sick, Hawk." She stated, impatiently. "You're supposed to stay home with me and take care of me. I'm pregnant, I need you by my side but you rather hang out with your homeboy instead of your own girl."

"Come on, Hazel." I sighed. "Don't do this."

"Don't do what?" Her petty tone calculated her words. "You know, I'm right."

"Baby, I'm not saying you're wrong but at the same time you have to understand that I made plans with Jack and it's really important." I tried to explain myself but she wasn't having it.

"Alright, just go..." Her face explained the disagreement in her innocent eyes. "I'll stay here by myself. As always." Her last two words contaminated the pressure in her tone. She really was trying to make me feel bad. Jack's life was on the line and I needed a solution. Hazel's life was also on the edge of death and she had no idea.

"I'm going to jump in the shower."I groaned. "Please, get some sleep." I stood up and headed straight to the bathroom as she followed my invisible footprints.

"That's it?" She rolled her eyes, disapprovingly. "You're going to choose him over me?"

"Hazel, I'm not going to start with you this morning." Her words were selfish and heartless. "Therefore, I don't see the point of having this conversation with you right now." I condemned her thoughts to the ground. "So, don't waste your time, trying to convince me. I'm not going to change my mind and that's final." I said, firmly. My severe tone was necessary. I had to decline her presence and bury her words under the devil's ground. She wasn't listening to me and my patience was running out of air.

"When are we going to make love to each other?" The toothpaste burned my tongue with a decent flavor. She had my full attention for a quick second. "After the baby is born? Or maybe after our wedding?" A smile played on my face. She knew what she was doing. She was trying to manipulate my mind and translate her enticing intentions inside my head. "Huh? When? Tell me, Hawk."

"When the baby is born." I played with her emotions and clapped a silly joke in her face. "You're sick, my love. Sex is the last thing that should be on your mind right now." I really didn't mean that. I was just trying to calm the situation and go on with my day.

I was down for the sex part, though.

"I'm not sick..." Her runny nose emerged her lips completely. "I have a cold. I can still make love to you. I'm perfectly fine." Her lie was obvious and amusing. She really wanted me to stay home.

I knew what Hazel was doing. She was trying to tease me, torture my body with sexual thoughts and make me change my mind. Smart, aren't you? Hazel.

By the time, I was done brushing my teeth. My clothes were already off, the warm water was caressing my body, patiently. Hazel's mouth was full of minty bubbles. She was sneezing over and over again in the bathroom.

.

The way she sneezed. It was so damn adorable.

"You sound so sexy when you sneeze, Hazel." I expressed my opinion. "You should get sick more often." A laugh crashed from my throat. "Keep sneezing... You're an entertainer."

"What are you-" Her sneeze interrupted her upcoming words.

"Yes, that's what I'm talking about, baby." I laughed. "Let it all out!"

"Hawk, you need to--"

"Another one!" I made a sound with my teeth. "Damn, you're so talented..." Her lips conjured her cheeks with a silly smile as the show continued.

"You're crazy! You really think that-"

"Two in a row?" I teased her. "Who taught you how to sneeze, girl? You're on point." I headed out of the shower.

"Stop it...." She burst out laughing. "You're really making fun of me right now. I can't wait to get you sick. You're going to kiss me eventually." She made a good point. "Your turn will come, don't worry." She threatened my perfect health. "You'll see."

"Who said that I was going to kiss you?" I joked around. "Your expectations are really high. I like that." I threw the white towel on the side of the bed as I let the lotion enriched my dry skin, without missing a spot.

"Your skin is really soft..." Hazel hugged me from behind as her perfect blue nails stroked my abs one by one and massaged the lotion into my skin with gentle pressure. "I miss touching you..." She pushed me in the middle of the bed as she wrapped her legs around me.

She wasn't wearing underwear."I miss your hands all over me..." Her whisper was tempting but cruel. "I miss your tongue between my legs..."I swallowed my saliva, hungrily as her fingers flew down my stomach with a strong passion. "I miss your hard penis inside my vagina walls... I miss your sexy lips..." She stroked my upper lip with her thumb as I beg her tongue to envelop mine into hers. "I miss our sex..."

My eyes started to melt with malefic desire. As I took her white dress off, the base of my fingers tasted the warmth of her soft skin, cravingly. I grabbed her boobs, started to suck on them one by one with a severe thirst. She pulled my sensitive neck with her teeth as she sucked my internal blood from the outside.

"I was feeling off today but you definitely have a magical way to turn me on..." I grabbed her by the neck as I pulled her towards me, confidently. "I'm all yours..." Without a word, her tongue swirled inside my mouth like a volcano.

Hungry? I was literally craving her skin, silently.

Hazel's body doesn't leave voicemails.
