Hunted By The Player Arrival woes
I wake up after another long nap. As the pilot had warned, within twenty minutes we will be landing on Spanish soil once more. I peer sleepily out the window, seeing numerous clouds. I feel uncomfortable with the seat belt squeezing my bladder, and I will be relieved when I can finally unbuckle it.My mother postponed the invitation to come with us on the same flight. She and Miguel— who will be on vacation— will arrive in a week together with Dr. Milton and his wife. Everything has been paid for by Hunter, without the slightest hesitation. I manage to convince my father to come to Barcelona, even reluctantly.Hunter and I talked but we haven't had "the conversation". For almost two days I can’t believe he was crossing my street to meet me and that was how he finally found out I was pregnant. But here now, with him holding my hand like a teenage couple, everything has been an absolute dream.“Mr. Blanco, the arrival’s area for foreigners requests your presence,” the commander formal
Hunted By The Player You drive me crazy
I am dizzy from all the phone calls I made during the day. Valentina, Joanna, Sophia, Alice and Stella have spent hours talking to me on the phone, congratulating me. I am very surprised by Stella who had already sent me three yellow balloons at Hunter's house two hours earlier with a very cute card.Hunter and I have continued in an almost non-communicative relationship since our argument yesterday.The news that I will only have three more months in Spain takes me completely by surprise, and at a time when I thought everything was going to start to change. Never in my life do I remember getting a student visa and that I needed to change it. Damn the accident...I stay in the living room reading a magazine and listening to Hunter talking to another person, interested in purchasing the house, since in a few weeks he will have to move.“How are you?” He sits beside me.“The same?” I look at him who is nodding his head.“I'm sorry,” he says. I open my mouth but stop from saying anything
Hunted By The Player I have a toast to make
Thankfully, today I wake up much better, as yesterday my back was stiff from so much pain. The medications aren't working as I expected so I try to keep myself busy with enough tasks to distract myself.Sophia arrived two hours ago and for the first two hours she's been putting her mouth on me for not telling her about the pregnancy and how much she was hurt and of what a liar I am and all the pure drama involving her and now she is laughing at me. I can't stop analyzing the diamond ring on her ring finger.“Stop laughing,” I speak, putting my swollen feet up on the bed.“You are crazy,” she says, lounging in the corner.“It's complicated Sophia, everything is very complicated.” I lightly massage my tummy, a little bigger than a basketball.“Being a mother must be complicated.” She fiddles with her fingers as if guilty of something.“I don't know and now I'm going to be a mother of three.” I tilt my head. “What is it, Sophia?”She clears her throat. “I'm pregnant.”“My God, Sophia!” I
Hunted By The Player That little B****!
I look at everyone at the table, reading their expressions.“With orange juice, my daughter?” Marcus wonders aloud, but he’s in a good mood.“Yes Father, it will have to be with juice. I can't drink alcohol anymore because I'm pregnant.” She smiles from ear to ear.Luana is startled beforehand but soon becomes teary-eyed. I hug Fernando, congratulating him on the wedding and the baby. I order him to take care of Sophia like no one else has ever done and he promises me he will.If everyone is happy and euphoric with the sudden growth of the family, Hunter is tense in his chair opposite of me. I can see him flexing his jaw tightly every time Sophia laughs and I wonder why his mind has wandered so far.Maria appears with a white bag with a sky-blue dots as a print. I read the note it comes with."Congratulations to the most beautiful mommy in the world. Your friend, Alice."Inside are three little white Converse shoes that would fit well on a boy or a girl. I definitely have the best peo
Hunted By The Player It finally happens
I'm an idiot.A tremendously selfish and genuinely dumb idiot.I look at the pool in front of me. The sunlight reflects across its crystal-clear water. I stand at the edge, reflecting as a person who has no notion of his actions. I try to think about what I did.I accepted the request. I selfishly accepted the request and felt like the most complete person in the world. I continue to watch the water with the filter jets running and thin about Hunter's words hanging over my head last night.14 hours ago..."Hunter!” I squeal, covering my mouth as I view the lantern-like lights around us.“It took me too long to do this.” He glances at me nervously. “Sorry for being the biggest asshole in the world and not having seen what you really wanted. Or actually, deserved.” I swallow hard feeling, my heart stop. “I can't spend a second longer away from you; I want you at all times of life and maybe even later.” With that he gives a disgruntled helpless smile.“Hunter, you don’t need...”“I alway
Hunted By The Player Teary and tensed
HunterMy stress is finally over the sale of the house and the search for a new one is not great because Selena said the word I so longed for: yes. Her eyes sparkled even brighter than the ring, little did she know how long I had it with me for!I smile as if I am the luckiest son of a bitch in the world for my accepted proposal. The noise of my cellphone ringing through the car speakers wakes me from my daydreams.“Hello, Jimmy,” I speak as I reduce speed to stop at the red light. The traffic was insane for some reason today and it wasn’t even the weekend or a bank holiday.“Let's go to Eric's house,” he suggests.“What's there?” I ask, rolling my eyes. Now Jimmy is my guy alright but he could be so dramatic, I could mistake him for a girl!“The girls are at your house having a party. We've been left behind, man,” he says, grudgingly.“I know.” I look both ways to analyze the best route to get to Eric's apartment. “So, I'll be there in five minutes."“I'm drinking a Blue Label.” He t
Hunted By The Player Little joys of life
I try to settle into the driver's seat and twist and turn and wiggle…“Damn it!" I curse.Sophia's Audi A1 looks is a little too small for me and my three-month-pregnant-with-triplets belly. I grab my cellphone and dial the most familiar number I know.“Hunter,” I speak tearfully. I lean my forehead against the steering wheel while holding the cellphone to my ear.“What happened, my beautiful?” he asks, worried.“Hunter, I can’t get in the car anymore!” I cry out, annoyed.“In which car?”“In Sophia's.”He laughs. “You’re trying to sit in her car?”I say yes. I don't see anything funny about any of this.“The Lamborghini is available,” he offers.I look at the shiny black car beside me and make a face. “I don't want her.” My voice comes out like a child’s.“And by the way, where are you going?” I stammer a little and he senses my hesitation. “Don't tell me you're alone.” I can hear his smile disappear.“Yes, I am and I'm going shopping,” I say, firmly.“Purchases?” he inquires.“Yes,
Hunted By The Player Best thing in the world
I can hear my own heart beating; I am so still. As if standing still would help with anything. As they say, no women can ever hold a secret for too long or be in suspense! It is the ultimate form of torture.My heart nearly leaps into my mouth when Hunter opens the door. I am sitting behind the balls, so it is pretty clear what I am presenting here. I was tempted to bite my nails though.He approaches silently, scanning me and the three balls, not quite understanding. He steps closer and reads the three plaques on each ball. When he finishes, that perfect mouth breaks into a huge smile for me.“There are three boys, my 3 boys!” he says, choking up.“Yes,” I confirm, smiling. His happiness was out of bounds as he collected all the 3 balls in his arms as though our babies were in front of him.“I'm almost the luckiest man in the world.” Then he frowns. “All I need is an answer.”“You've already had your answer.” I smile.“I made you a proposal.” He sits in front of me, moving the balls.
