"Hey, big boy." I brought out my first and a smile grew on his face as he brought his tiny fist and bumped it with mine.
He looked up at me and smiled shyly. "Hello."
My heart warmed at the sight of him. This boy was a part of me. A part of the woman I loved.
Autumn went back to her mother and Avelina kneeled and hugged her, and the twins. "Mommy will be back, okay? Be good."
"Yes, mommy." They said simultaneously.
"Can you both go inside for a second? I'll like to talk to your Mommy."
They shrugged and ran into the house, leaving me and Avelina alone. "I guess I'd get going." She said attempting to leave but I stopped her.
"Wait–" She turned to look at me and I really got a look at her and my words got stuck in my throat. She looked at me expectantly and I cleared my throat, "Uhm, you look stunning."

A V E L I N AI could feel Christian's eyes on me as we drove away from my house."Are you okay?" He asked, his voice low and comforting.I turned to him and plastered a fake smile on my face, "Yes, I am."I knew he wanted to ask more questions, but thankfully, he didn't. I didn't want to explain the whole situation to him. He didn't need to know the ins and outs.We drove to the restaurant, and the drive there was quiet. It wasn't the usual comfortable silence. It was the awkward silence, which meant he was bothered by something. And I was pretty sure it was the scene he had witnessed before he drove off.When we arrived at the restaurant, he got out of the car, and helped me down. We entered the restaurant and the maître d' guided us to our seats.He pulled out my chair and sat down across from me."How are you liking the place?" He asked, breaking the silence between us.

A V E L I N AIt was morning.I had spent most of the night awake, and thinking about Lorenzo.Seeing him in such a state of anger the night before, had really made me realize how much of an effect I had on him. It wasn't as if the past five years didn't give me a hint. But now, everything was hitting differently.I didn't have time to process this new discovery, as my thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of my phone.I looked at the screen, and the caller ID showed 'Unknown'."Hello," I answered."Avelina, it's Christian. How are you?" His voice was clear and loud.I had completely forgotten about him and his existence. The man was so sweet, and the perfect man, and I couldn't wait to get to know him more."Christian. Hi, I'm good. Thanks for asking.""How was the rest of your night?""Great. I just got up. How's yours?""It's great. Better now that I've called you.

A V E L I N AWeeks flew by in a blur. Christian and I went out more. He hasn't asked me out, or made moves. He'd contemplated kissing me o e too many times, but I was glad he was able to control the urge.He was a great guy, but I didn't think I was ready to be committed to another man again. All the men in my life had done nothing but break me.My phone vibrated in my pocket. I pulled it out and read the message.'We need to talk. Now.' -Lorenzo'Talk about what?' I replied.'Everything.''I'm busy.''You'll have to make time. Meet me at the beach, in half an hour. We're not leaving until we're done.''Okay, fine.'I couldn't believe he was giving me orders. But I guess he had the right to, since I've been avoiding him for a while now.He'd tried everything to make sure I was okay with him being in the kids' lives, and I just refused to cooperate."You okay?" Christian asked. I had forgotten I was with him. He was currently driving me home."Yeah. It's nothing." I looked at him, and

He was quick to grab me by the waist and hold me up."Do you really want me to drop you?""Maybe."He groaned. "Let me help you. You're not a kid, Avelina.""Then, why are you carrying me like one?""Because, you're acting like a child." I didn't respond. I didn't know how.He continued walking. "Where are you taking me?""Bedroom.""What? No. No, no. Let me go, now." I started to struggle, but it was futile.He ignored me, and continued walking. We entered my room and he slammed the door shut. "Lorenzo, seriously. This isn't funny.""Who's laughing?" He arched a brow."Please, let me down.""Okay." I screamed when he dropped me on the bed and climbed on top of me."You're so mean."

I wasn't thinking straight and he was just too convincing.""Did he rape you?" She asked, and I could see that she was worried."What? No. Of course not. He didn't do anything without my consent.""You have got to be the biggest idiot on the planet.""Thank you. I know that. But, can we talk about something else, please?""No. What you did was unacceptable.""I know, I'm sorry.""Aren't you supposed to be mad at him? Not sleeping with him?

Don't tell me you've fucked him." She gasped dramatically and I was absolutely horrible."What? No!" I said, not being able to even imagine it. I couldn't think of Nicholas in that way."Then what is the issue? Hes too hot for you to handle?" She said with a wink.I rolled my eyes at her and said, "No, dummy. He's Lorenzo's brother. And he's literally fifteen steps away from you right now." There was silence for a few seconds as what I said started registering in her head and when it finally clicked, she started screaming."What the hell? How did you know?" She screeched."He was my brother in law, duurh." I said, obviously. " S-so, you mean he's literally staying next door and the person I've been talking to all this time is him?" She asked, shock written on her face."Yep.""Oh god, I'm screwed."

Has the jury come to a conclusion?""Yes, we have.""Read it out."The lady nodded her head and started to speak. "In the case of the people versus Natalia Serrano, we find her guilty.
