Contract Of Love

Today was definitely not my day, because after a horrible standoff I had finally been fired, but in my defense that idiot had deserved the glass of beer in my face, only I guess my, in this case, ex-boss didn't think so, but of course apparently being fired wasn't enough, I had to have forgotten my wallet at home, which is why I was now walking the eleven blocks that exist between the cafeteria where I used to work and my apartment, where the situation is not much better, after all I owe nothing more and nothing less than two months rent, only that definitely, for the universe this does not seem to be enough, it had - of course - started to rain, because after all there is nothing bad that cannot get worse.But I had no idea how much worse it was going to get.I was already so soaked that I wasn't making any effort not to get wet, I honestly didn't care anymore, but I was so focused on thinking about how bad my life was that I didn't notice the car coming towards me when I went to cro

We walked down the hall to Dr. Stuart's office and I was a little surprised when Anthony walked in without knocking, he seemed to be the type to follow all the rules. We walked in and again I was surprised to find that Dr. Stuart looked a little older than me, a brunette with dark eyes, she must have been in her early thirties at the most, she smiled at us and motioned for us to sit down.- Anthony, glad you could make it - she said, smiling. - So this is the girl you told me about? - she asked looking at me.Anthony nodded.- This is the same Dr. Stuart, her name is Elisa Banks, Miss Banks this is Dr. Marina Stuart.- It's a pleasure Elisa - she said smiling and held out her hand, I shook it smiling too, she turned to Anthony when she released my hand. - I told you to call me by my name Anthony, it's Marina, you know? Are we friends or not?Anthony sighed and I held back my laugh, does he have a problem with people and intimacy?- Now is not the time, are you going to help me or not?

Even if I had said that, "telling" Anthony was proving to be a very difficult task, especially since I had no idea where the card with his number was. I gave up looking because it was close to eleven o'clock at night and I had a job interview the next day, but before dismissing Helena (she was helping me) I made her promise not to tell Miguel anything yet, because it was obvious that he would notice when my belly started to grow, but for now I wanted to avoid being lectured, especially when I wasn't so sure if this was going to end well.Luckily this time I remembered to set my alarm clock so I didn't have any surprises or rushing around and arrived at my destination with fifteen minutes to go before eight o'clock.The candy store was beautiful, all decorated in shades of light pink and lilac, there was a huge white counter and several shelves leaning against the walls, there were also four little wooden tables with two chairs each, in short it was like a dream that smelled incredibly

Anthony had a strange feeling of déjà vu as he sat there in that chair facing Marina, and the doctor gave him a disapproving look just as she had the first time.- You still know what I think about all this madness, don't you? - she wanted to know and he sighed, he didn't need another moral lesson. He wanted a baby and he was going to get it, one way or another.- You may not like my methods, but it's done," he shrugged.- That's what worries me, Anthony," she said impatiently. - I think you were too hasty, in fact when you came to me with this craziness I didn't think I would find anyone as crazy as you to accept it.- To tell you the truth, neither did I," he admitted with a half smile, remembering the day he had met Elisa Banks.On that particular day he was late and very frustrated, he had gone to Marina's office to get some information about his plans and didn't like the doctor's answers at all, how could she say to his face that she thought it was all crazy? It's ok that it wasn

- Come on Lena, have pity on me and help me," I whined to my friend and she laughed.- The problem and the brother are yours, turn around - she said like the good friend she was.I had been trying for almost an hour to get Helena to help me, to no avail. The truth was that since yesterday when Anthony gave me the contract I had been working up the courage to talk to Miguel about it. My fake brother would be angry, of that I was sure, but I had to tell him, after all he would find out sooner or later.- But the groom is yours," I tried again, and Lena blew me a kiss.- Sorry, there's nothing I can do, but this is your time," she commented as she left my apartment. Hi honey," she greeted him with a kiss as if she hadn't just signed my death warrant. - Lisa wants to talk to you," she announced, pointing at me and heading for her own apartment across the hall, but before she closed the door behind her I heard her whisper, "Good luck.Miguel entered my apartment and threw his suitcase on t
