Chapter 42
Richie helped Lizzie to the bed and she laid on her tummy curling the pillows under her arms and resting her chin on them she sighed "I'm sorry Richie.....I didn't mean to get so upset I just.."
Richie shirked his dress jacket off and loosened his tie, pulling it from around his neck and unbuttoning his crisp blue dress shirt before kicking off his shoes and falling softly on the bed beside his wife.
"Lizzie honey..." He began as he lightly rubbed her back thru the silky satin of her red dress and slowly unzipped it. "You know... maybe you shouldn't go home ok? I mean... I don't like how you been feelin' lately and now today you pas out... I think maybe you should stay here with me and we can get you a Dr appt while were out and about just a check up ya know...... "
He sat up and slid to the end of the bed and tapped her so that she shifted enough for him to slide her dress off her leaving her lying there in nothing but her matching red lace thong. He groaned in desire as he always did when faced with his wife's perfect body.
Lizzie sighed she hated the worried tone in his voice and she knew if she turned and looked into his eyes she would see worry etched there as well.
"Rich look I just passed out ok? I told you I was tired for days now, hell I thought I was pregnant but ya know... I started just the other day so we know that's not it....Hell I probably passed out from PMS" she joked
Richie had to laugh as he slid back up beside her and let his hands slowly massage over her bare skin " I know I know but baby I saw you go down and shit I damn near pissed myself it scared me so bad, I just... I think you should stay with me ok? We can go home together when the tour ends, or during a break at least."
"Rich everything is already arranged..... and with what just happened with Dave now I know it's best if I just........"
"Just what Liz?? disappear?" He interrupted " I told you if we just go on about our business and show them.... sooner or later"
"No Richie you're wrong! Just going on and acting like everything is ok is not gonna solve anything.... if I don't keep trying....."
"Liz you saw what happened when you reached out... you're driving him further away...." He sighed in frustration
"I am NOT!!" she whined a bit and raised her voice. She hated it when they argued over this. It was the only time they ever argued and she absolutely hated it!
Richie bit his tongue to keep from retorting. He knew it would do no good to tell her, yet again, how very much like her brother she was when it came to being fucking stubborn. She just didn't see it. It was no wonder her and Dave were butting heads. He'd told her she'd be better off starting with her parents to mend the rift but Lizzie was adamant that she had to fix things with Dave first.
He sighed and kept massaging her slowly. Knowing he wasn't making love to her this night. Mother nature had put her foot down with that damn monthly curse and on top of it, the awkward silence now would have killed any passion had circumstances been different.
He leaned down to plant a kiss on her neck and mumble his apologies and was greeted with a light snore.
He jerked back in surprise and watched her. The laughed and shook his head. SHe fell asleep on him. In the middle of a massage AND a fight......
Only his Lizzie.....
He laughed more as he gently pulled the covers over her and settled himself in for the night.
