Believe me now!

46 This must be love.

Have you ever been a fly on the wall, listening to other people's conversation?

Well, the couple staying next door to Sera and Blaze had heard all sorts of noises next door to their room.

At one point, it sounded like a lamp broke. Maybe a woman was hurt. They heard her yelling out, "Please." They strained to listen.

They thought that they had heard a large crash as if a tray of food had landed on the floor.

There were loud thumps and the male voice was giving the female voice commands. The couple decided to call the authotities to investigate.

Blaze heard a loud knock on the door. He pulled on a pair of loose fitting sweats that showed the apex of his lower abdominal muscles. His chest was bare, he was eating an apple.

Seraphina was lying naked, spread eagle on the messy bed with all of the contents of her suitcase on her. Blaze was trying to clean the room up and threw everything on her to organize. She laughed and fell backwards.

There were two police officers standing outside of the door.

" Scuse me bloke, we got a call about a disturbance. Would you know anything about this?"

He shook his head. He looked at his wife as she lay naked, spread eagle on the bed.

He pointed to Sera. "Well, maybe my wife knows about it? Honey can you come speak to the police?" He smiled.

Sera closed her legs and threw one of Blaze's shirts on. She timidly came to the door.

They nodded seeing her. "Good evening. Everything okay with you?"

She smiled. " Well, my husband has been very mean to me. He won't let me eat the whipping cream off the floor. He said I could only lick it off"....she blushed. " Well never mind that."

The police saw how messy the room was. "Were you two fighting or something?" the man asked.

Sera said,"Something." She smiled.

The first officer looked at the second, they fist bumped Blaze.

" My man!" They said.

Blaze turned red."We ...uh got a little carried away. My wife and I will proceed more quietly in the future." He assured them.

The couple next door came out to see if they were going to arrest the two.

Blaze swallowed hard seeing who it was. "Mr. and Mrs. Haven...uh Sera...your mom and daddy are right next door dear."

She jumped up and ran to her parents. She hugged them both.

Silver Haven and Carol were silent. They were very concerned about their daughter.

They pulled her away from Blaze. Carol put her arm around her only daughter.

Silver held up his hand. "I will deal with you after you are released!" He was very angry.

Blaze looked around,"Released from where?"

The police were leaving. Silver Haven called out,"Aren't you taking him in for what he's done to my daughter!" He demanded.

They both started to laugh.

"Sir, you might want to switch rooms if you don't want to hear your daughter having, uh...relations with her husband."

Silver took a step back. He looked at Blaze. " You mean, all that noise...you were giving her commands, she was wimpering?".... He went back to his room and took his daughter by the shoulders. " Go back to Blaze, Sera."

He shook his head at Carol. "We are moving rooms."

Carol smiled, "Is everything okay?" She asked.

Silver looked over his shoulder at his son in law. " Seems just fine. Our girl is a married woman now." They walked to the front desk to change rooms.

Blaze took Sera in their room and locked the door, he looked at his wife. He lifted his shirt off of her. He turned her around.

" Hmm... not one bruise on you. But you are kind of skinny. Sera, did I hurt you earlier?" He looked away.

She slapped him lightly on the face. "Not yet. But I might hurt you if you don't take me to dinner soon." She smiled.

He was serious. " I don't want your parents to think I abuse you. This is really bad." He said.

She shrugged and got dressed.

" Are you coming with me or hiding here?" She asked him.

He said,"I'm staying here."

She purposely wore a short skirt and low cut blouse. She grabbed her purse.

"Do you think they serve steak at the pub. I am so hungry for some meat. Grrr." She said.

Blaze threw on his jeans and a button down shirt. He ran after his wife.

" Wait for me!" He yelled. She was waiting by the car.

He put a coat over her shoulders. "You might get cold love "

She smiled chewing a piece of gum. She snapped it in his ear, he grimaced. He was going to try and be nice to her.

Sera walked into the pub and threw his jacket on the back if a chair. She took the chair and turned it around straddling it.

Sera was really pushing his buttons.

Sera was looking at him popping bubbles. He saw her blow a big bubble.

She said," Look, look at this one!"

He grabbed the gum from her mouth and threw it on the floor.

She smiled and pulled out another stick. She held it to his face. "I got more." She smiled.

Blaze took that piece too. She stood up and turned her chair back around. "Be right back lover."

She approached a table of men drinking ale. She bummed a cigarette. The very nice and handsome red head with the beard lit her cigarette for her.

Blaze watched her play her games. He smiled. She took a drag from the cigarette and coughed several timed. She looked green.

Sera brought her cigarette over to the table. He took it and stomped it out.

He put his finger up to her face. He opened his mouth to warn her, then remembered he was being nice to her. He just bopped her nose with his finger.

She ordered a pint for both of them. She drank hers fast and burped really loud.

Blaze was close to flipping out.

When she reached out to drink from his pint, he glared at her. She pulled her hand back.

Then she thought about what he would do. Her hand shot out. She grabbed his drink and drank it back.

Blaze stood up. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. When he turned to leave, Carol and Silver were standing right behind him.

Sera had asked them to meet up for dinner. Carol used her purse to cover up Sera's butt that was hanging half out over Blaze's shoulder as her skirt was too short.

Silver put his arms over his chest. " Blaze? How is it going son?" He asked.

Blaze took Sera off of his shoulder and pulled down her skirt. He sat her in her chair. He held a chair out for Carol.

Sera put another piece of gum in her mouth and started chewing. Blaze felt something on his shoe. He pulled his foot up and there was gum on the bottom. He pursed his lips and crossed his arms over his chest. He silently held out his hand.

Sera smiled, she spit her wet gum into his hand. He nodded.

He put it in his own mouth and chewed it loudly. He ordered a pint for each if them. When Sera's came he drank hers as well.

Carol was watching his bizarre behavior. She wondered if he was unstable.

Sera took his hand under the table. She squeezed it to call a truce. He pushed it away and drank another pint.

He stood up and walked over to the table of men and bummed a cigarette from the tall redheaded guy. He took a drag and blew smoke her way.

Silver was being entertained by what he was seeing. He ordered dinner for the table. Carol looked at her husband and saw that he was getting drunk.

She was mad at him. "Do something, poor Sera has married a crazy man. He's dangerous."

Silver shook his head. He saw Sera looking worried at her husband's actions. She shrank back and wrapped her coat around her shoulders. She was trying to call a truce. He wasn't being very nice to her.

Blaze finished his cigarette and took another pint. He was well in his cups. Silver joined him at the bar.

Carol and Sera sat and ate their dinner. "Sera, what's going on?" her mother asked.

" Blaze wanted to be nice to me, he thought he made a bad impression on you and daddy. I tried to sabotage him. I think I made him very mad. He's drunk with daddy now."

Carol finally understood. "Are you and Blaze trying to make a baby," asked Carol.

Sera choked on her meat. She was coughing and holding her throat. A piece of steak was really lodged in her throat. She could no longer breath.

Blaze casually walked over to her and gave her the heimlich as he continued to talk to her father.

The meat came flying out to the table. He patted her back and kissed her head and walked back to the bar.

Carol sat there with her mouth open. She realized that Blaze had always been watching Sera.

He saved her daughter's life like he was just folding laundry or something.

Carol was no longer worried about Blaze's mental health. He was taking good care of her only daughter.

Sera finished her drink. She told her mother that she wanted children some day. She wasn't preventing it, she was hoping for it. She was realizing that she actually might be pregnant. It was possible.

Sera stood up. She put on her coat. Blaze came right over and helped her. He put his arm out to shake Silver's hand. He leaned in and kissed Carol's cheek.

" Hope to see you in the morning for coffee?" He asked.

They both agreed.

He walked Sera to the car and he gave her the keys. " I'm pretty wasted." He admitted. She had stopped after her second pint. She quietly nodded and drove them back.

Sera helped her husband get into bed. She took off his shoes and pants. She tucked him in.

Sera went to the other side of the bed. She got undressed and lay with her back to her husband. He rolled over and pulled her into his embrace. He nuzzled her neck.

Sera rolled over to face him. He smiled. "That was fun tonight." He said.

" I'm sorry, I wasn't very nice to you. I thought I was being....well, I was an asshole to you. I'm sorry. I won't do that again. I will try to make you happy. I'm just a stupid wife"....

Blaze snored loudly. He wasn't listening to her.

Sera could feel his heart beating. His heart was making her sleepy too with it's strong, steady beat.

Sera nodded off.

In the middle of the night, Blaze opened his eyes. He felt very sick. He threw up all over himself, waking her up.

" Let's get you in the shower, " she said."

He agreed. Sera took the soiled blankets off and got several towels. She put Blaze in the shower and washed him. He was still drunk. She put him back to bed and covered him up.

She gave him the only clean blanket left. She put her sweater over herself.

In the morning, Blaze saw Sera curled up under her sweater. He smiled." This must be love." He said.
