Max "Νο" I sighed. "Yes!" she exclaimed. "No" I laughed. "Yes!" she chuckled. "We can do this all day..." I gave up. "They are your parents; we can't just hide it" "We won’t hide it, babe, we just won't invite them" "At least they should know that we are getting married tomorrow, Max" "They know that we are getting married, Lena. They just don't know when, why is it so important to you anyway? Don't you remember what my mother did to you?" "She used that officer to investigate me some more and generally she doesn't like me, but she didn't murder me" she smiled. "Babe, don't let Karen off the hook so easily. She intervened in a police investigation and tried foolishly to frame you; she must be kept away. I don't want her at our wedding or in my life in general. I never really had her anyway, so I don't miss out on anything" "Alright, alright..." she softly whispered and kissed my lips. I couldn't help and let myself get a little carried away. I bit her lower lip and she moa
Max I don't think that I have ever laughed harder than I did today. I was sitting on the couch, watching Lena trying to get dressed, enjoying the show. Jake got so excited, while Lena was getting ready for our wedding. Somehow, he thought that it was playtime. He grabbed her dress with his mouth and ran up and down the apartment for like an hour. Lena, almost naked, chased him while laughing, as wagged his tail proudly like he did something great. After she finally put her dress on and tried to fix her hair and make-up, he jumped so many times to lick her face and made her laugh even more. My dog had a weird obsession with her for sure and I couldn't blame him. She came down the stairs, wearing a black summer dress and black sandals, so simple and yet so beautiful. She had her straight hair falling loosely on her shoulders and had only a soft red lipstick on her lips. I would devour those lips later. I sighed at the sight of her. Fuck, she was so damn beautiful. "I like that gr
Lena I huffed and puffed on the run on the top of the hill, whilst my boys run and jumped like freaking soldiers on a mission. I was barely keeping up, but Max helped me all the way. A timid summer breeze cooled my flashed face and the sun would soon set. This short hike, had an amazing view to offer at the end, it worth the sweat. We gazed upon the pine tree tops, the small rived passing through them, the colorful fields all around, the rocky mountain ahead and the amazing orange sky with the whitest clouds lazily setting the most beautiful picture. I felt like I could write the sweetest poem, the view was very inspiring. I always loved nature, but what made it breathtaking was when Max put me in his arms and we stayed there in blissful silence, as we enjoyed what was unfolding in front of us, while Jake never stopped smelling around. “How many mountains have you climbed?” I asked him but yet it wasn’t a question, I already knew that he walked a lot of uphill. “If you lik
Lena Max was packing our things into the car. Our three-day honeymoon was over and I wished we could stay a little bit longer. Mostly because it was just the two of us and there was no drama to destroy this profound peace, I felt in his arms and into the little blue tent. Oh, the things he did to me in that tent... As good as it was, we had to go back. Max couldn't take more days off, but he promised he would bring me back one day. Even Jake refused to board the car, he was running around like he had no care in the world. Plus, tomorrow we have scheduled the wedding dinner with his family and friends. When I said family, I meant his sister and brother with their significant others and his father alone. Max was unrevoked. No Karen, period. I didn't mind her, but I wasn't going to try to persuade him otherwise. Honestly, there was nothing I could do to make the situation with Karen better, so I didn't try to do anything. At the bottom line, why fight an already lost battle?
Lena Paul asked the server to add two more sittings to the table and he politely obliged. He set them up between Paul and Chris. Karla didn’t even greet anyone, as she was sitting on her chair. She kept touching her hair with her long red long nails and looked bored as always. Karen on the other hand, sat softly on her chair and crossed her legs, as she pointed her nose up proudly, like she accomplished something. Even though I didn’t like her change of attitude, she kept herself behaved. I thought she would start a fight or complain about something at least minor, but nope, she was being an angel. She stayed there silently at her seat and listened to the rest of our guest chatting. I was relieved and somehow happy, considering that I wanted her in her son's life, she was his mother. Funny that I was quick to let her off the hook when I couldn’t do the same with my own mother. We kept chatting, laughing, and sharing stories, as it was excepted. "And we were dancing at this c
Max I had this unusual feeling that I couldn’t shake off since morning. We were getting dressed for the party at my parents’ house and I felt nervous, and I couldn’t understand why. I knew that Karen would screw this up in one way or another, the how wasn’t important, so feeling this way made no sense. We dressed up for the occasion, it was a formal event that Karen was in charge. We matched our outfit without planning it, as she wore her nice black knee-high dress and her heels and I wore a black suit, minus the jacket. We arrived at my parents' house at 20:00 and all most of the guests were already there. My Karen quickly welcomed us at the front door, wearing a very expensive blue dress and she had her pearls around her neck. She smiled politely and hugged Lena, as she softly kissed my cheek without the affection, someone would expect. I felt good with that as she just simply smiled at me. Lena might be softer with her, but I still couldn't. "You look so beautiful, dear," m
Lena Once I reached the final step of the stairs, Max rushed close to me and yelled, not to me but definitely around him "We are leaving, now!", as he grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me towards the main entrance door. "What is wrong, son?" Karen raised her voice in concern. She got no answer. He quickly put me in the car, without saying goodbye to anyone and practically drove like crazy through the driveway and out of the house in seconds it seemed. The wheels even spined during his effort. He was very angry, very, very angry, I haven’t ever seen him like this. After five minutes of just driving in silence, I dared asked him "What happened?" "Karen happened!" he raised his voice; he wasn’t yet calm. "What did she do?" I tried to stay calm for the both of us. "She invited her!" He kept the same tone. "Christina?" "Who else, babe?" "Why were you chasing each other?" "What?" he snapped and looked at me for a second and then turn his eyes on the road again. At least h
Lena My heart was racing as I quickly put on a pair of tight black jeans and a black thin sweater. I crossed my bag over my shoulder and then stormed out, to find Vanessa, hoping for the best. I couldn't let come closer to Max's parents. I was embarrassed enough already to look them in the eye, after they found out about Oliver, how could I let them meet Vanessa? She would probably ask them for money, so I would let her ask me instead. I would give her all my savings and then she would leave. I hoped. I parked near that coffee shop and walked angrily towards it. My heart was pounding, as I felt anxious, fear and disgust. I would meet the woman who was laughing, while her son was dying. The woman who never help us when we needed her the most and then disappeared like she never had children. I noticed her from afar seating on a table outside the shop. I would recognize her anywhere, despite how many years had passed. It was chilly outside and I was thankful for the sweater I w
