Stuck in you

Jack felt confused by Rachel's rejection. He lifted the quilt, got up and held her firmly. He looked at her with a wide flattering smile. "Honey, stop it!"

He dragged her back to the bed and rolled over on top of her again. She felt that he wouldn't give up, so she pushed him angrily.

"Jack!" she exclaimed in an angry voice. "I said I don't want to. Can you stop forcing me?"

When he noticed that she was a little angry, Jack's eyes immediately sank. He gently caressed her frowning eyebrows with his fingers and said to her gently, "What's wrong? Are you mad at me?"

Rachel didn't know what was wrong with herself. She suddenly felt wronged, so she pushed him away. She turned over and sat up at the edge of the bed, her eyes red.

Jack felt startled. He wanted to calm her down, but he didn't dared to touch her. He carefully reflected on what he could've possible done that made her feel this way.

After thinking for some time, he could only think that he displeased her because he insisted on having sex with her.

All he could do was coax her. "Honey, please don't be angry. I did not mean to force you." He wetted his lips with his tongue and then reached out his arms to embrace her. "You know I would never do that.

Don't be angry anymore, okay? And don't cry."

Rachel did not know how to explain it to him. Her mood changed so fast. She took a deep breath, pursed her lips and stared briefly at the ceiling. After the inexplicable sadness passed, she felt a little ashamed of herself.

She closed her eyes hard until her mood eased. "I'm just in a bad mood. I didn't mean to lose my temper," she whispered gently to him.

Jack kissed her between her eyebrows and smiled at her. "You don't have to explain anything to me. It's my fault. If you're unhappy about anything, you can throw all of your frustrations at me."

There was no need to apologize to him for anything. Marriage was about consideration. He felt bad that Rachel thought that she had to apologize.

She nodded gently at him and fully understood what he meant. So, she let him hold her in his arms and sat on the bed with him.

"What's wrong? You look so upset."

"I don't know." Rachel felt irritated about something but she didn't know what it was. She felt reluctant to do anything with Jack and she didn't know why. She just wanted to lie down in the bed alone and stare blankly at the ceiling.

But she felt that it would be too much to push him away a third time. There was a sting in her heart when the thought of it struck her.

During regular days, there was no way that she would behave this way. If she was feeling off, she'd normally just wear a long face and then ignore him. But at that moment, she felt depressed and everything just felt intolerable to her.

"Maybe my period is coming," Rachel said in a soft voice. She wondered if it was truly the case.

"Your period?" Jack asked with a raised eyebrow. He had no idea what she was talking about. After seeing the embarrassed look on her face, he finally understood what she meant by those words.

He tapped his nose as a reaction to his understanding of how emotionally unstable women could be when they approached their periods.
