Chapter 232 - Stupid Doubts
"I figured it would feel like memory foam, you know?
" Jerlina looked at Jeremy.
Jeremy gulped.
Memory foam? Why a memory foam? Why not like a water balloon or something? Why particularly a memory foam?
She is trying something nefarious. But what?
And more importantly, why is she wondering about that?
"Why are you sweating?
" her eyes went wide and she wiped his face with the washcloth.
"Are you hurting somewhere?
"
"No... Yes, I am... my stomach... it hurts a bit. I'll lie down a minute or two...
" Jeremy decided to get out of this bind first.
Please don't ask me weird questions wifey... I love only you.
Jerlina sat by his side, gently rubbing his back.
"Do you think I should get a surgery, Joel?
" she asked and he turned at her.
"Surgery? For what?
" he was shocked.
"To make my boobs bigger...
" she cupped her hands on her chest to the size of an orange.
"Maybe this...No...
" she then made the cup bigger to the size of a muskmelon.
"This bigger?
"
WHAT!! WHY??
Jeremy was stunned to say a word.
"What do you say?
" Jerlina looked at Jeremy and blinked her eyes.
"Don't you want me to have big boobs? Then I can wash your back with my boobs like in those...
" she stopped speaking.
"Where are you getting these ideas?
" Jeremy looked at her.
It seems like my darling watches some weird sh*t on the internet!
"Don't... look at me like that...
" Jerlina pouted.
"It's not like you never thought of having sex with a big-boobed-
"
"Enough, Jerlina! What's bothering you?
" Jeremy sat up.
Everything was fine with them till then. She said some beautiful words and even ordered him not to do stuff she doesn't like and suddenly she's like this?
"Did Scar say something? What were the nurses saying? And why do you want to have a boobjob for no apparent reason?
" Jeremy questioned her.
"It's nothing...
" Jerlina bowed her head.
She did want to talk to Scarlett before, but Scarlett was unavailable. And so she called Emma.
Yeah, it was a blunder. After advising Joel, I went and got caught in the trap myself!
Idiot!
And now my mood is spoiled.
Emma wasn't sorry for what she did. She even found some reasoning as to why she went and meet with a lawyer. And then she started to curse Jerlina for what happened to Gerard.
'You will not live well, Jerlina!' she seethed. 'Your love will not succeed. I will make sure of that! Do you think Jerry loves you? Are you happy he slapped me in front of you? '
'He's tasted all sorts of women and do you think he'd be satisfied with a loli like you? He settled for you for some reason and don't think he'd feel the same always!'
Emma sneered at her and Jerlina got so angry she ended the call without even replying to her.
Loli, huh?
I do look like a loli...
Settled... Did Joel settle for me?
I mean... he is awesome... And I am so and so with no redeeming qualities...
Ah, sh*t!
What am I doing?
I know Joel loves me!
Why am I bothering myself with what Emma said? She lies! Whenever her lips move, she lies! Why am I thinking of her words?
Jeremy looked at her fiddling with her fingers and pulled her closer to him.
"Careful, Joel. Don't hurt yourself,
" Jerlina didn't let him strain and got closer to him.
"What happened?
" Jeremy asked.
He didn't feel right to see her like that.
Jerlina looked into his eyes and they were filled with concern. Those blue eyes... Those eyes always had a longing for her. And now they were sad.
"I know you didn't settle for me,
" Jerlina said and her heart relaxed.
How did I doubt his love even for a minute?
"Settled for you? Who said that?
" Jeremy held her cheek.
"I am stupid and talked to Emma.
" Jerlina smiled.
"I am sorry...
"
"Ah, now I am sure I won't let her near us,
" Jeremy kissed her forehead.
"You're someone I yearned for years. How could I settle for you?
" he asked and he watched her tearing up.
"I know...
" She sniffed.
"I am stupid. And I know you like lolis... so...
" she wiped her tears and sat straight.
"How did I forget that? There were weird rumors about you regarding that! And I... stupid!
"
She hit her forehead with her palm and Jeremy grabbed her hand and pulled her closer.
"Loli? Where are you grabbing these words?
" he asked and Jerlina's face went red.
"It was your sister who said that. And don't pretend that you don't know what that means,
" she pouted.
"I know because some called me lolicon...
" Jeremy shrugged.
He then stared at her for some time.
"I think that you settled for me...
"
"But you're...
"
"I know, I am awesome! I am a king!
" Jeremy interjected her and said with his chest puffed up making Jerlina pout and turn.
"You are a king,
" Jerlina mumbled.
With her back facing him, Jeremy couldn't see her face but he could see her ears were red.
"Come closer,
" he wrapped his arm around her waist and she scooted closer to him. She rested her back carefully on his chest and he grabbed her shoulders with his hands.
But slowly and steadily, his hands traveled through her arms, and his fingers reached to the sensitive spots of her chest.
"Joel!
"
Jerlina's first instinct was to get away, but his grip tightened. He bent closer to her ears.
"Don't struggle... I might tear my stiches...
"
Jerlina flinched as his warm breath tickled her neck.
His fingers reached her small peaks and fondled them.
"I like them just the way they are...
" he whispered.
"They are small, but they are perky and they feel good....
"
His hands slipped inside her blouse and Jerlina tried to struggle but she didn't want to knowing he might get hurt.
