My Emotionless Goddess

Stacy had Just emerged from the bathroom with a bathrobe tied securely around her body. A towel at hand was drying her wet hair. She was walking to the hairdresser when she saw Gabriel already holding her hair dryer. It was plugged in and a chair pulled facing the mirror.

” What are you doing?” Stacy asked puzzled. Gabriel strode to her after putting down the dryer. Without saying anything, he pulled and made her sit on the chair. After she was settled, he switched on the power socket and started drying her hair. His movements were gentle and sensual. Gently massaging her scalp. She didn’t question him anymore. Stacy decided to relax and enjoy the treatment from him. It was not everyday she got to be spoiled by a man, talk less of the only Man she ever Loved. His little actions made her feel special and Loved.

‘ it’s so great to have someone who loves you.’ Stacy thought. Minutes later, her hair was dry and straightened. Gabriel took a three in one comb and combed her hair letting it flow down to her shoulders.

” Don’t tie it today, you look beautiful this way.” Gabriel said. Stacy would always have her hair securely tied in a high ponytail due to work. He always thought that her hair was more suited to be let free, just like how he Saw her the first day, free and unruly, without a touch of professionalism that she exuded while in the hospital. That was one of the reasons he followed her to the club that fateful night.

” Okay.” Stacy replied flashing him her dazzling smile, the reflection in the mirror creating a beautiful image of an ethereal beauty with a magnificent smile. She agreed easily. After all, as her man, she should listen to him.

” Come, I brought your breakfast.” Gabriel said, leading her to the edge of the bed, helping her settle comfortably. He then presented to her, a tray well arranged with her breakfast.

” It looks yummy.” She commented. Everything about the arrangements screamed Love. From the well cut pancakes and the love design used to sprinkle the jam, to the single Rose that was placed on the tray. Yes a single rose was included to complete everything. Ofcourse, this was made possible by the boys.

Flashback

Gabriel had just finished arranging everything and was about to head upstairs when Kyle stopped him.

” Wait, I think something is missing!” Kyle said, eyeing the tray with a contemplating look.

“Something is missing? I don’t think so.” Uncle AJ commented.

” I also think the same, I get the feeling that the set-up is incomplete.” Leon seconded. Something felt off from the whole set-up but what? He couldn’t tell.

Gabriel, who couldn’t see any problem with his hand work, frowned. He sure couldn’t see anything missing just like uncle AJ.

” I Know!” Leo shrieked, jolting the four occupants awake from their thoughts.

” What is it?” Asked Gabriel who was overly anxious. He wanted to make everything perfect for his queen and couldn’t tolerate any mistake.

” Flowers.” Leo revealed grinning from ear to ear , proud that he could spot the issue at hand without wasting time or brain cells.

” Exactly. The whole breakfast in bed set-up is to impress mommy and also, to show her how much you love her. Flowers have been used since time in memorial as a representation of Love among other purposes. Of Course, every flower has a distinct meaning from another. This is what we call the language of flowers.” Kyle narrated.

” They are just flowers, do you have to make everything seem so complicated?” Uncle AJ groaned, not quite understanding why people have to be so strict on such Minor things like flowers.

” What do you know?” Leo snorted.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

” We understand that your life and world have been loveless, otherwise you could understand this.” Leon mocked uncle AJ mercilessly. The two men were the weirdest beings the boys ever met.

” Okay, let’s get back to the task at hand. Where do we get flowers from?” Uncle AJ asked the boys and they smiled mischievously.

” Leave that to us.” Kyle said meaningfully. Just then the doorbell rang. Kyle dashed to the door and opened it immediately.

” Gabriel White man?” The delivery guy asked.

” My father. I’ll sign the delivery note.” Kyle said flashing the delivery guy one of his cutest smiles.

Few seconds later, Kyle emerged to The kitchen with a bouquet of red roses at hand.

” Problem solved.” He said smugly.

” When did you order flowers?” Uncle AJ asked, puzzled. The boys seemed to amaze him more everyday. They were very meticulous in everything they did.

” A woman loves flowers. Red roses represent affection. Uncle should give Mommy roses often.” Kyle said, offering the flowers to Gabriel who was standing rooted on the ground.

Gabriel received the flowers and tried fixing them on the already occupied tray, it proved to be hard and messy.

” You should try to improvise, if all the flowers can’t fit, just give her one rose stalk, it represents giving out your heart.” Leon said, controlling the urge to roll his eyes at his uncle’s dumminess. Ofcourse, Leo was practically facepalming. He couldn’t stomach how ignorant his future Daddy was. With his intellect, he couldn’t help but wonder how he managed to hook up with an intelligent, sweet and caring woman like their mommy. It was unbelievable.

End of flashback

” Do you like it? Gabriel asked, blinking his doe like eyes. His expression was full of expectation.

” Yeah, I like it very much.” Stacy replied coquettishly. After all, this was what her hubby prepared out of love. ” Come, I’ll reward you.” Stacy added, pulling Gabriel towards herself and locked his lips with hers in a passionate kiss. By the time they parted, Gabriel’s face was beet red.

” Hahahaha, you are such a shy guy. One would think you are my girlfriend.” Stacy teased him.

” I can be your girlfriend..” Gabriel stuttered. If she liked, he could be the submissive one in the relationship.

“What are you saying? You are my man. My husband and the Head of our family.” Stacy rebuked him. How could she let him be the submissive one? As a woman, she took pride in being the helping hand to her man. She is the neck and he’s the head.

” Okay.” Gabriel replied, not wanting to say anything More, unless he says the wrong thing again.

After breakfast, the family of five boarded Stacy’s Maserati and headed to Carl’s family house. Uncle AJ and two other bodyguards drove in another car. Stacy was driving today, of course that was because nobody else could drive the car. With the boys being underage, Gabriel didn’t possess a driving licence and of course didn’t know how to drive one.

” Uncle, why don’t you help Mommy. She’s pregnant after all.” Leo inquired.

The car suddenly fell into a pin drop silence. Stacy chuckled, knowing very well that her hubby was about to get roasted again.

Kyle, who was seated next to Leo, nudged him to drop the topic but the teenagers did not understand the hint.

” What is it Kyle, are you squeezed?” Leo asked innocently, making Kyle roll his eyes on him.

” I think the reason why uncle isn’t driving is because he doesn’t know how to.” Leon commented and a gasp left Leo’s mouth.

” Really uncle? You don’t Know how to drive?” Leo asked yet again, not quite believing it.

” I don’t.” Gabriel answered. He wondered if the boys were hell-bent on making fun of him? Wouldn’t they spare him even when about to reach his in-laws house.

” Leo, remember I told you that your uncle Gabriel is different. He never had a normal childhood and adulthood when growing up?” Stacy asked, hoping to spare her hubby future embarrassment.

” Yes, Mommy said that uncle is a superhero and dedicated his life to saving people and had little time to live normally.” Leo replied, repeating the exact words his mommy told him before.

” Yes, your future Daddy is a superhero and has helped a lot of people across the world. He has dedicated his life for others, that’s why he isn’t acquainted with the things normal people do, because he is above normal just like Superman. It’s Normal if he doesn’t know how to cook or drive but mommy will teach daddy how to do this things slowly, okay?” Stacy patiently explained, sounding like a mother educating his five year old boy and not a sixteen old boy.

” Okay Mommy, I will help you teach daddy everything he needs to do.” Leo offered his help unconditionally. He quite liked his future Daddy alot and would love to help him fit in their world.

” Now that’s my good boy. When we arrive home, don’t talk I’ll of your uncle Gabriel, otherwise you’ll make things hard for him.” Stacy coerced. Her father was a sucker for perfection, with the many flaws Gabriel had, he might change his mind despite his earlier acceptance.

” Okay Mommy, we understand.” It was Leon who answered.

” Good boys.” Stacy praised. She loved how obedient they were.

Minutes later, they arrived at a huge magnificent gate that was five feet tall. The design screamed of opulence. The door automatically opened and Stacy drove in followed by uncle Ajs car. She parked at the empty parking slot and stepped down. One by one, the rest stepped down with Gabriel taking the lead and Leo being the last to alight.

” Wow, it’s so beautiful here.” Leo commented with a fawning gaze.

Carl’s family house was situated away from town but not in the suburbs. It was built on three acre Land. Well manicured lawns, flower garden, an orchid garden and a fountain surrounded the four directions of the house. The Villa was a European styled Villa. Painted with grey and a touch of gold, it was ethereal. The fresh air blown from the pine trees brought the scent of Jasmine and dandelion flowers.

” Aiyo, why are you still standing outside, come in.” A woman in her early fifties greeted them with a huge smile which Kyle translated to be the Ideal blinding smile he read from the latest novel of his favourite author.

” Aunt Martha.” Stacy politely greeted.

” It’s nice to see you back young Miss.” Aunt Martha said hugging Stacy who hugged her back.

” Aunt, this is my boyfriend Gabriel.” Stacy introduced her guests to her favourite aunt.

” He’s such a fine young Man, he’s beautiful.” Aunt Martha commented, whispering to Stacy and to get two laughs together.

” Hi Gabriel, you can call me Aunt Martha.” She introduced herself.
