I think that in addition to being pregnant, I also found out that I'm crazy because I heard Valentin ask me to marry me.
It's the only explanation, isn't it? I keep looking at the ring thereafter, he opens the box, but the penny doesn't drop. I'm dreaming, it can be an alternative.
"Valentin... Have you gone crazy?"
"It's not quite the answer a man expects after proposing to someone, Nicole," he says, opening a sideways smile.
"What did you expect?" That I screamed for joy and jumped on your neck? This is crazy! I can't marry you! We do not live in the last century! There is a way to raise a child without involving a marriage, in fact, without involving any kind of relationship."
"But it's not what I want," he says sincerely, staring at my face attentively. "I want to be present while our son grows up. I don't want to be in another house, missing out on important things. Or see it only on weekends. I want this baby to have a father, Nicole, I know
I see the man leave his room and stop in front of my desk."Have you had lunch yet?""Not yet. I only had a chicken soup that Nat took earlier, but I was already going.""Did you take the vitamins?" How's the nausea?" he asks worriedly, looking at me carefully."I did." They have improved, but... I haven't eaten much in the last few days, so I haven't had anything to get sick of," I reply, embarrassed because I don't want Valentin to think of me as a bad mother. It's just hard to see myself like this yet."If you married me, I'd be able to take better care of your diet.""Valentin...""Will you have lunch with me?" I have a meeting later, we can go straight from the restaurant." He looks at his wristwatch and waits for my answer. "Please, Nicole. Let me do it.""That's okay."I get up, clean up the mess I made with the papers and my post-its, take my bag, and accompany him. We go to his car, where Lionel is already waiti
Things are going differently from my plans. I wish I was following the pregnancy more closely, making sure Nicole is doing everything right. Taking medicines, eating, sleeping, avoiding stress. Unfortunately, the stubborn woman denied my marriage proposal. I expected it, I didn't imagine that I would accept it at first, but I thought that at some point I would be able to convince her that it was the best option for both of us.It would be a convenient marriage, for both sides. I'm going to need to use a strategy I wouldn't like, and I know she's going to hate me, but it's going to be for the greater good. I just can't stop living because I'm worried if you need me. I am controlling and systematic, I need to have the situation in my control, and with it away from me, this does not happen.I leave my room and find her typing focused on the computer. It's been a few days since I asked her to marry me and I haven't brought it up again, because I asked her to think about it
I've never been grateful that Tyler loves throwing a party before, but it's going to be useful to me now. At least I'll try to get Nicole closer to me. I want to know about her life outside this office, and I want her to know mine too."Your birthday is the day after tomorrow." I had forgotten," she comments, sounding thoughtful. "I'm going to talk to them to see if they can. I warn you.""All right. Do you want to go out to dinner now?""No, I'm a little tired. I just want to try to get some sleep.""I can cook for you, at your house, if you prefer," I offer, wanting to bang my head against the wall because I've never had to humiliate myself so much for a woman in my entire life."Valentin...""Nicole..." I repeat your name the same way you say mine. "Why are you pushing me away? Things were starting to look good between the two of us. Why are you avoiding me?""Because everything got serious all of a sudden," he confesses in a whisp
I still hope that, at any moment, I will wake up. This is still too surreal for it not to be an alternate universe. How real would it be to be with my parents in front of Valentin's house, ready to introduce them and tell them that I'm expecting a child from him?That's not how I planned to tell the two of them, I would like it to be something more secretive, less full of fanfare, but I'm afraid. The more witnesses, the better. That way, I'll make sure they don't yell at me or anything like that. It's not their face, but who knows? An unexpected pregnancy isn't what you need right now either."Are you going to tell me why we're here?" Mom asks next to me, curious, because I didn't give many details about tonight. I didn't know what to say without giving too much away. "Didn't you complain horrors about how horrible your boss was? Why did he invite us to his birthday party? I bought him a t-shirt, daughter, but I'm embarrassed after seeing this house.""Don
I also don't want my son to grow up distant from his father, especially one who seems so willing to participate in everything. So much so that it suffocates me with its over-care, and my baby is only a few weeks old. But I like the attention he gives me, to feel cared for by him. To know that I'm not alone in this. Valentin has been fundamental in this initial period, which has been very difficult. But I'm not being fair to him, so I promised myself that even if I don't marry him, I'll try to let him get closer, at least for the sake of the baby. But it's not an easy thing for me.In all my years of life, I have never had a serious relationship, I have never met anyone's parents or created a routine. There has never been much conversation, to tell you the truth, so Valentin needs to understand that it is not an easy life change. What did I say about hating these sweethearts? I don't know how to deal with them very well. The idea of having a very abrupt one paralyzes me, and t
No man loses by being insistent on the things that matter to him. I persevered and got what I wanted. Nicole married me.Not the way I imagined, but he accepted. She just wanted a quick trip to the registry office, without any family members, just the witnesses, who were Nat and Benjamin. Because she didn't want to make a fuss, according to her. I wanted to try to make her change her mind and accept having a big wedding, the way she deserved, but I was afraid she would give up on marrying me. So, I accepted his condition.As always, the woman surprised me. On a random day, in the middle of the workday, she said she would marry me. Needless to say, I couldn't work for the rest of the day, just thinking about it.Today, at the end of the afternoon, we finally signed the papers, and now we are arriving at my house. In our house, from now on.We stopped by Nicole's apartment to pick up the basics, because then I'll ask a team to go there to pack everything an
I focus on the preparation of our food and feel her eyes watching me as I work with my back to her. I'm being cowardly, running away from the beautiful sight that this woman is because I'm horny fucked by her. I can try to hide it, but it will be difficult to be around her without showing how much I love her."You know, there's an advantage in this pregnancy that it happened now. I turn to her when I hear the sad, curious tone of voice.""And what would it be?""My mother," she says so vulnerably that she makes me drop what I'm doing to listen to her more carefully. "She has Multiple Sclerosis. We found out at the same time I joined LDrinks. Some time ago, it seemed like a death sentence, you know? In my mind, I wasn't going to have my mother for long. She wasn't going to be her anymore. Today, I deal with it better, but it's hard not to be able to predict how it's going to be."How long will she walk, talk, and see? Knowing that you're going to be here w
Everyone was surprised by my marriage out of nowhere, but I needed it to be like this to be able to continue with this insanity. Yes, I still think this is all crazy, especially when Valentin is taking it very seriously about being a marriage more for convenience than for anything else. I thought that, after we were in the same environment, without him having to insist that I stay, he would rip my clothes and fuck me anyway. But Valentin insisted on putting me in a separate room.It leaves me confused.Now I married someone who will never eat me again, that is, my previously hectic sex life is over. My pussy is going to create cobwebs."Shut up," she says as she prepares our breakfast, all delicious as always cooking.Poor me, having to watch Valentin walking around shirtless and not being able to take even a cone off him. I don't understand the reason for your physical distancing, but I've thought about so many things that I couldn't reach a consensus. H
