8 Seconds - The Cowgirl and the Doctor Chapter 40
GaelI wake up in the morning, and I see Rayka still sleeping peacefully in my arms, I move some of the hair away from her face, watching her features while I remember the moments we spent yesterday.I look at the clock above the TV and see that it's already 9am, soon Rayka will wake up, and knowing her well she will be starving. Carefully I take my arm from under her, grab the phone and the menu and go to the bathroom to call and order breakfast, I want to enjoy every second we have today.As hard as it is, the truth is we only have a few more hours together, she's already missed two days of school, I don't want her to miss any more. On Friday Rayka said she would take the night flight, but when I saw on the internet the time she arrived in Boston, I discarded the idea, I don't want her walking around the city at dawn, she agreed with me and decided to go on the 7 pm flight.After looking at the menu calmly, I decide to order two eggs benedict, bacon, toast, English muffin, and parsl

GaelAfter picking up the tray and tipping the boy, I return to the bedroom and sit on the bed facing Rayka.“I've already talked about my exes, now it's your turn.”Nothing could be fairer, but won't she be jealous later?“Hey, you don't have to worry that I don't usually fight over exes, you can start by telling me about the girl from the restaurant yesterday.” She encourages it, she's curious just like me about her.“How do you know she's my ex?”“I saw a picture of you two on facebook, it was a Valentine's Day dinner.”Although I have a profile, I've never been one to post photos on social media, and if I'm not mistaken this photo was taken and posted by the restaurant and Lays made sure to tag us in it. As I don't care about that, I didn't mind deleting it, and apparently Rayka doesn't really care, since she didn't question me why I didn't delete the photo, however I need to do that later.“Lays and I dated for a few months, despite all the attention I gave when we were together,

GaelSince I don't want to stay all day just in this room with her, not that it would be bad, but I want more than that, I want to walk around and enjoy this beautiful day, and since she loves to eat, I know a great place to take her.“I loved the nickname, and if it's up to me, you'll be using that nickname a lot when you come to visit me. And although I love to stay in this bed and hear you call me the Beast; what do you say we go out?”“Where are we going?”I love her excitement about going out, and I know she'll be even more excited when she knows it involves food, but that doesn't stop me from teasing her.“Is all this excitement about getting rid of your Beast?”“Don't be silly, I just want to know what plans my boyfriend has for us.”“I thought we'd go to Little Havana, a Cuban culture neighborhood, with great restaurants, you'll like it there, change and we'll go.”She gets up all excited and goes to take a shower, I lie there for a while longer, planning better what we are go

GaelFor a while we lay on the bed, just exchanging caresses, but I was startled when I got up.“Gael, I'm sorry.” I turn to her without understanding anything, her gaze is anguished.“Why are you apologizing?”“Your back is full of scratches and nail marks, I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm sorry.”From the way she held me, I can imagine the marks she left, and probably later when I go to the shower it will sting, but at the moment I don't care about that.“Hey, you can stop that, you didn't hurt me, and those marks will be gone by the next time you come to see me, and I will love having you do them again.”“I am here worrying that I hurt you and you're thinking about naughty things.” She closes her face, and if it were any other time, I'd believe she's mad at me.“Are you mad at me?”I climb on her legs, preventing her from leaving and start to tickle her belly, making her squirm with laughter.“Are you going to continue with this pecking at me?”“I won't.” She is out of breath; I stop

GaelEven though I want to see Rayka in action, I feel tense about this situation, the fear that they will fight is too strong.“So, Hillary why do you think the bulls are mistreated?”“Because these animals are not made to jump, they put that rope in their bags to achieve that.”“Let's go through it, in fact bulls were not made to jump, that's why we do a tough selection and many tests to see if the bull has the gift for the rodeo. That rope is called sedém, and it does not hurt the bull, for you to understand I will use a corset as an example, women have been forced to wear it for years and some still wear it today, it tightens, it bothers, but it does not hurt, but still the woman is relieved to finally be able to get home and take it off, with the bull it is no different, he is bothered by the sedém and wants to take it off. What is your next question?”“Even if you have this gift you said, bulls are mistreated to learn to jump, as far as I know they even castrate them to be angri

AprilRaykaToday is a special day, Gael's birthday. And we are going to spend it together.At first he suggested we take advantage of spring break and go to Atlanta together, so I could meet his family, but I felt insecure about going there and I know he noticed, although he didn't say it, so he chose to spend his birthday with me.For having made him choose, I decided to prepare something even more special, if he already deserved it before for everything he did on my birthday, now I had to do much more.That weekend I went to visit him, it was my first visit after the proposal, and he took me for an early celebration dinner, since my birthday would only be on Wednesday and gave me my gift, a plush Beast, and for the first time said, "I love you".Yes, on the 8th in the morning, I received a breakfast basket early in the morning, along with a bouquet with 25 roses, one for each year of life, and in the evening, while we were making a video call, I received a birthday box, with a cake

NovemberRaykaI look in the mirror, fixing the collar of my dress, it is wet velvet, dark purple, with long sleeves and a high collar, and it goes down to my knees. This is my first Thanksgiving in my own home, and this year I have so much to be thankful for. I feel happy about how my life is going.The girls and I graduated with honors from university and after graduation, we took a 20-day trip around Europe, given to us as a gift by my dad, we each chose a country to stay in for five days, Sarah chose Greece, Ness chose France, Liz chose Italy, and I chose Germany. It was on this trip that we got a tattoo to always remember our friendship, we chose to get four mini jewels on our arm, diamond, sapphire, ruby and emerald, one for each of us.Less than a month after graduating, we had our office open, joining our initials, we chose to call it VARS, we managed to set it up in a commercial building in Back Bay East, we have our floor with four rooms, in addition to the anteroom, where o

RaykaI sit down with the girls around the table in the kitchen, which I use when I'm alone, and pour myself a glass of wine.“This world is too crazy” Liz laughs. “This week a couple of engaged couples came to the office to make a prenuptial agreement, you can't believe what they wanted to put in the clauses.”From her tone, it wasn't just about money or anything common.“What was so strange about them anyway?” Ness asks.“Well, apart from the normal clauses, they put in that each of them will have one day a week to themselves, and that they must have sex 3 times a week and if one of them denies it they must pay the other a fee of a thousand dollars, unless it's for doctor's orders.”I can't believe they had to put something like that in a marriage contract, are they getting married just to populate the world, because those who love don't need to demand something like that from their partner, love and affection comes naturally, as well as the desire to be together and make the partne

GaelAt the hotel, we go to the door that gives access to the stage, and as soon as I enter the hall I am shocked by the decoration, the floor is with a carpet that looks like sand, the walls are with curtains that simulate a fence like the rodeo arena, on the tables there are decorations that look like shadows of cowboys riding bulls and on the chairs a cape like a cowboy vest and to complete in a corner a mini rodeo arena with a mechanical bull.The stage is even more decorated, with lots of straw on the floor and some plush oxen, instead of the table, there are some wooden barrels, the middle one with a three-story cake and on top a mini arena with a candle that looks like Adam riding a bull, the other barrels are with cupcakes.“My mom really went all out this time.”It was a lot of effort, I would never have thought of even half of this decoration, I can't answer him, Adam struggles to get off my lap, I go down the stairs of the stage and release him, who ran out of the hall.

One year on...GaelLying on our bed, I watch Rayka, who has a beautiful smile on her face, in fact she is beautiful all over, no matter if she is lying here after we make love, or after being in labor for 5 hours to bring our son Adam into the world, or when she was all produced at our wedding.I look at the clock and see that our rest time is running out, Rayka looks too and after giving me a kiss, gets up to take her shower, I lie there watching her, in a mixture of lust and zeal. Her wonderful body that always makes me want her, even more now with the curves of pregnancy, she is already in the 27th week of pregnancy of our second child, a boy who will be named Kyle.I still remember the day I made the request for us to have another child. What struck me most that day was Rayka's firm stance, and especially how we loved each other the rest of the day and night.I feel Rayka's touch on my face, I turn and see her sitting next to me, with a towel wrapped around her body.“Gael, is ev

GaelI feel a shadow over me and think it's Rayka who has returned, but as I lift my face, I see a blonde girl, she has slowly lifted her sunglasses and put them in her hair.What does she want here? “Hello.” She spoke in a honeyed voice.I realize she speaks in my language, so she should know I'm not from around here.“Hi.” I answered automatically.I'm not one to judge people before I meet them, and although Rayka is not the jealous type, I don't think it's right to chat with another woman in her absence.“My name is Darlete.” Seeing that I didn't answer, she continued. “The sun is hot, and I forgot my sunscreen, would you mind putting yours on me?”I would have to be very naïve to believe that it was an innocent request, and not to mention that I have seen this too many times in Miami to know her true intention.“I do mind, I'm married and the only woman I pass protection on is my wife.”I was hoping that hearing I'm married would be enough for her to back off, but apparently I'm

Two and a half years on...GaelWe finally decided to have our honeymoon, and our destination is Carmel Cumbuco resort in Ceará in Brazil.Our wedding was a perfect event and just the way we wanted, we chose the 20th of February because it was a special date for us, which gave us a year after the proposal to organize everything. Rayka wore a wedding dress made especially for her, it was inspired by Bela's, but white instead of yellow, and to be in agreement, my tuxedo was navy blue with gold details. Her maids of honor were Hillary, Ness, and Sarah, while Liz was her bridesmaid, my groomsmen Bryan, David, and Allan.As Adam was only four months old, there was no possibility of him walking in alone and carrying the rings for us, so we called Kaleb to walk in with him on his lap, Adam looked cute in a suit just like mine. Wanting something different, Rayka opted for the rings to enter the finger in the Beast I gave her years ago, but our surprise was when it came time to pick them up an

Rayka“I think we can talk calmly now.”I know we have a lot of topics to talk about, but his way of asking is cute, so I decide to let him choose the first topic.“And what do you want to talk about?”“Before you said you would marry me, you said you only didn't say yes during the first proposal because you needed to tell me about the baby first.” I didn't think that would be the topic. “The point is, if you knew since Sunday that you were pregnant, why didn't you tell me before?”I can feel in his voice that although he is happy about the baby, he is upset, and I know that the only way to solve this is by telling the truth, I lift my body more and look into his eyes.“Because I was scared, I spent the last three days thinking about it, blaming myself for being careless, for not telling him that day about the medicine, since as a doctor I would have known there was danger, and I would have done the right thing.” I feel my eyes fill with tears again, but I need to say everything. “I w

RaykaI can't help but smile at Gael being so kind to me.“Getting nervous is not good for you, for either of you.” I am surprised at the calm way he refers to it. “I would never have thought you did something like that on purpose, is that why you were so nervous, afraid I would blame you?”It's amazing how he knows me so well, to the point of realizing the reason for my crisis, I wish I could say I know him like that too, and deep down I know I do. However, the pregnancy shook me up to the level that I feared he would blame me, after all a baby was not part of our plans, that's why I was on medication.“It was my fault; I should have been more careful.” I can see he's going to try to deny it, but I'm quicker. “There's no point in denying it, it was, and we both know it.”I need to talk about what I'm feeling.“I am scared of everything, of being pregnant, of you blaming me or not being ready to be a father and with that I lose you.” I see a little pain in your eyes. “I know how much

RaykaIt doesn't take long, and Gael has stopped walking and I hear the whistle of an elevator, which means we must be in a building, has he brought me to a hotel? But if we are in a hotel, why didn't anyone say anything, every Boston hotel I know has an elevator attendant in the elevator, but here it is complete silence.I feel the elevator stop and Gael again starts walking, it may be crazy in my head, but it feels like there is more than one person walking. I hear what sounds like the beep of a door lock and then Gael stops walking and I hear a door slam.Gael walks a few more steps and stops again, this time kissing me intensely. Then he puts me on the floor and slowly moves his hands up my body until he reaches my face, kissing me again, before moving away a little and taking off my blindfold.I can't believe what I'm seeing, we are in a hotel room, the lamps are off, the light comes from hundreds of flashing lights on the wall, the floor is covered with red rose petals, on the c

RaykaMy father left a little over an hour ago, so I took a relaxing bath and put on the outfit I chose for today, a red dress, although we left the story of the evil wolf a long time ago, I know how much he loves it when I wear a red outfit. My dress tonight is woolen with long sleeves that goes up to the knee, tights, and long boots, complete the look, and to protect me from the cold, a white fur coat.I'm finishing my makeup when I hear the message ringing on my cell phone, it's Gael saying he arrived and is waiting for me, I finish quickly, grab my coat, and go down to meet him. Gael looks gorgeous wearing black jeans, a navy-blue sweater, and a leather overcoat. I walk over to him, who steps away from the car and hugs me around the waist, we kiss affectionately.“How can you get even more beautiful?”I love his compliments, and he knows how to bend me over with them when necessary, just as I also know that teasing him can earn me a lot of good things later.“It must be easy since

Two years onRaykaSitting in my office, I try my best to concentrate on the documents in my hand, but it is impossible, I get up and go to the window, leaning my forehead against the glass, I stare at the Charles River while I let my mind wander.How could I have been so careless, so soon I was always careful with the smallest details, and in such an important matter I did this. I haven't slept for three nights now, and I know that tiredness isn't helping me, but every time I lie down, I keep thinking about it and I can't sleep. I won't be able to rest until I resolve this situation, however, I am scared of what will happen, but I need to do this, and I need to relax until the end of the night.Today is such a special day, because it's been 2 years since Gael asked me to marry him, I will never forget that night and what came after, our relationship has been wonderful.
