Suddenly Peter And Mary Chapter 10
PyotrI watched Mary head to the door, leaving me behind stunned. What just happened?I woke up ready to be fired and when I least hope I'm engaged? And engaged to my assistant, the daughter of my boss that I've spent the last year struggling to see only professionally!?"Aren't you coming, Peter? "Mary again asked to stop by the open door."Come on, Marianne," I walked up to her.On one thing she's right, it won't be bad to have a bride as beautiful as her."You know, you're going to have to stop calling me Marianne," she smiled victoriously" As my future husband, you need to be less formal.”"You were expecting this, weren't you, Mary?" I rolled my eyes."I had to ask you to marry me to make you call me Mary” She scoffed as we went back to the conference room "Now come on Pitra, time to act like a couple in love.”"It didn't come anywhere near this time, Mary," I couldn't help the smile from reaching my lips as I heard yet another failed attempt.I know she does it to provoke me. I

Pyotr I left the office, heading towards the elevators. Halley didn't stop watching me for a minute, but she didn't say anything. I got in the elevator as soon as the doors opened, finding Derek Baker over there. He was one of Stan's editors and didn't really like the fact that I became editor-in-chief, and we joined the company together. " Rozanov " He greeted. "Good morning," I answered indifferently. "I heard the news. Congratulations " He commented. I wish he just kept quiet, I didn't want to think everyone was already aware of our engagement. And I didn't care about his opinion on the subject either. “Thank you,” "Making out with the boss's daughter is a great way to grow in the company," he scoffed. " Baker " I growl. "I'm serious, man, this time you were really smart. How long until your next promotion? "He laughed. The elevator reached the floor he would be on, making me feel relieved as he left. "At least she's hot... "He continued as he got out of the elevator. I

MaryMaryI watched Peter go off in search of my ring with a racing heart. He had been like this ever since the man kissed my cheek, taking me by surprise. His lips were warm, while his hand held my face, gently caressing my cheek. His breathing close to my skin gave me goose bumps. It made me wonder how he would act in a more... intimate situation. When he pulled away, my face was completely flushed. What was I thinking? This whole marriage thing is a farce, he is still just my boss and I can't have that kind of thinking about him. We have to keep it as simple as possible. I let my body collapse in my chair, trying in vain to concentrate on work. My headache had increased considerably and my body felt very tired. I needed to get some sleep, maybe if I leaned over the table I could... " What was that? " Halley questioned, bursting into my office like a hurricane. " What was what? " I muttered, even though I knew what she was talking about. " You and Pyotr! " She exclaimed, "Mar

MaryCould it be that Peter is having to face the same thing I am? Who do these idiots think they are to say something like that about him? It was bad enough that they thought he was with me to stay in the country, now they think it's about the money? Is it so hard to imagine that he could be with me because he likes me? " What are you looking at? " I muttered as I noticed some people staring at me, "Get to work!”I went back to my office, threw myself on the sofa and closed my eyes. Maybe I could get some sleep to ease the pain that was about to bring me to tears. " Mary, I brought some medicine," Halley knelt down beside me. " Why is it so hard to believe that someone is with me because they like me and not because I am a Navruz? " I opened my eyes feeling frustrated.Well, Pyotr was with me because of our arrangement, but was it impossible for someone to at least consider that he was with me because he liked me? " In college with Fred it was the same thing, they said he was wi

MaryI felt my body come back to consciousness without the damn headache and the bad mood. Great, a few hours of sleep was all I needed. I slowly opened my eyes, bumping into Allie's Jade-colored eyes and platinum hair, causing me to pull away as quickly as possible without screaming, falling out of bed in the process. " Damn it Allie," I shouted, getting up, "are you trying to give me a heart attack?”" I didn't want to wake you up," she justified herself by sitting up. " And then you come into my room, lie down next to me, and watch me sleep? " I questioned. " Your mother allowed it," she shrugged." Why doesn't anyone else respect my sleep? " I widened my eyes. " Come on, I thought you'd never wake up to tell me all the details.”" Allie, there really isn't much to tell," I took a deep breath. " Your mother told me about the immigration problem.”She couldn't have known, could she? " What did she say? " I tried to sound disinterested. " That you surrendered everything in des

MaryI got out of the car and walked towards him, I saw in my peripheral vision Jacob heading towards the Taxi to help Allie down, was he waiting there at the door? " We arrived together, Peter," I offered my best smile. Pyotr turned toward me, discreetly appraising me. Did he think I was pretty? Not that it matters, but it would be nice if he thought I was pretty. " Mary," he offered me a small smile. " I'm sorry about that," I began shyly, looking away from him to Allie, who was too busy kissing her boyfriend's to notice us. " It's okay," he followed my gaze, "but we're going to have to have a better talk about all of this.” " Tomorrow, I promise." I sighed when I saw that we finally had the attention of the couple, who were coming toward us. " But I honestly don't know how to act today.”" We should probably be closer," he remarked, watching Allie and Jake holding hands. We were both at a suspicious distance apart, and I took a step forward, narrowing the space between us, b

MaryMaryWe started discussing some details of our story while Pyotr was driving me home after our double date. We agreed to tell them that we have been together for seven months, got involved after a conference we went to together in Miami and have kept everything a secret ever since. After getting all the simple stuff sorted out, we were missing the details that would make all the difference in whether people would believe our story or not. We hit some traffic on the way around Central Park to my parents' house, which gave us some extra time to talk, but this subject was far from being finalized. " Mary, it would be better if we could get this over with. We can't put it off any longer, I think this dinner was proof of that," he argued. " We did well, they believed us.”" Because they didn't pay attention and trust what you say," he retorted, "If they were suspicious, as many are, they would have found our behavior strange.”" What do you want to do, go out for a drink? " I fina

Mary We walked to the car, and I couldn't take my eyes off my ring, still in awe of its beauty. Pyotr really knew how to choose. Should I be so happy for a fake engagement? I covertly watched the man driving in silence. Is what I'm feeling really because of the ring? Well, it must be. Peter is a nice guy, but I don't think of him that way, I'm just helping him out as a friend! " You can sleep at my place for a few days," he commented, "I'll sleep on the couch.” " I don't think that's necessary," I looked away, still confused by all the euphoria, "We can schedule the wedding quickly. The sooner we get married, the sooner we can get divorced, right?” " Of course " He looked at me confused " You can choose the date.” " Thank you," I forced a smile, feeling anxious again. We went on in silence for the rest of the way, I thought again about everything Pyotr had said before. We'll have to look like a couple, but... This is so strange. " Hey Peter," I called as he stepped onto m

Mary I kept alert during dinner, but nothing different happened. Am I becoming paranoid? Do I not know my father well enough anymore? " The most awaited time has come," Omar smiled as the plates were cleared away, "time for dessert.” I frowned as a Red Velvet cake was brought to the table by a waiter my father had hired for the evening. My surprise increased even more when he handed a cake knife with a spatula to Pyotr. " What's going on? " I stammered in confusion. " I thought it was clear that this is a celebratory dinner, Marianne," my father explained as if it were obvious. “Doesn't the cake tell you anything?” " That you've lost your mind and I can have you committed and take over the publishing company? " I tried. " What do I do with this? " My husband whispered to me. " I'm sorry to disappoint you dear, but my sanity is still intact," he smiled, "but it was a good guess.” " Can someone explain it to me? " I asked. " Don't look at me," Ian shrugged, "I've just been inv

MaryThe next day was the same as the others. Breakfast, walk with Libby in the park, lunch, physical therapy. I was surprised to get a call from my dad inviting us to his house for dinner.This was strange, because he usually took us to some restaurant or something, but I decided not to argue. At the agreed time we went to my parents' house." Why the last minute invitation? " Pyotr asked " Your father usually likes to plan things in advance.”" I don't know, he must be feeling lonely," I yawned. “I just hope he doesn't try to drag us off to some opera or theater or whatever.”" I warn him, you're tired," he assured me, taking me in his arms as we reached the door to the old man's house. He climbed the steps to the front door, setting me down and supporting me so that I could take the few steps to the door and ring the bell.To my surprise, it was Ian who answered, staring at me with a nonchalant look on his face." Hey, you're standing up " he smiled." Can you support her while I

MarryWe remained silent until we were in the car going back to the apartment." I'm sorry about that, he shouldn't have brought Margot here without consulting you," Pyotr sighed." We got through it," I stared at him, "She had a chance to explain herself, and now we can move on, Peter. We have closed this chapter of our lives.”" Really?”" Pete, I told you I've forgiven you," I pointed out slowly, "Don't you think you need to do the same?”He remained silent, after a quick glance. I knew how much he blamed himself for my condition, but I didn't want him to stay with me out of guilt, but because he loved me." I'm sorry," he finally spoke up, "I... I just hate seeing you like this thing.”" And I hate being like this," I took a deep breath, "but there's not much you can do about it, is there?”" If I had told you... " He looked away." If I hadn't decided to drive at that moment," I retorted, "If I had slowed down, or if I had remembered to buckle up, who knows. If I had…”" Mary…”"

MaryI awoke feeling the warmth of Pyotr's skin enveloping me, I snuggled into his arms, as that feeling of fullness came over me once again. Every part of my life was whole again.After Peter took me to the terrace yesterday I had no doubt, he is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, I could never give this up. After I had this certainty, the rest was easier.We enjoyed our evening at home, and after dinner went straight to bed. I outlined Pyotr's face with my fingertips, thinking how lucky I was to have him by my side." What time is it? " he murmured, his eyes still closed." I don't know," I kissed him softly on the lips. Hearing the protests from the other side of the door " But the kitty and Libby didn't like that they slept outside.”" They'll have to get used to it," Pyotr laughed, moving away to look for his cell phone. “I will prepare breakfast.”" If you help me get dressed, we can do it together." I sat up in bed, looking around for my clothes." Help you? Why

pyotr" Pyotr? " Denise's voice caught my attention " Can you help me a little?”" Excuse me? " I closed the door, turning towards her." She doesn't want to do the exercises," the physiotherapist explained, walking towards me. “Could you…”" Sure," I sighed, walking into the living room.Denise had moved the furniture aside, laying out a mattress on the floor. Mary was lying there, she was panting and covering her eyes with her arm. " What's the matter? " I questioned."I increased the weight on her ankles” The woman indicated as I sat down on the floor beside her." It hurts," Mary whined." How much does she need to do? " I sighed.Every time Denise introduced a new exercise, or increased the weight, I had to intervene to get Mary to do the exercises." Ten," Denise said, "Ten on each leg.”" Anne," I pulled her arm away from her eyes. " Come on, just ten.”" But…”" You can do it, моя девушка¹ " I assured her, caressing her face " Come on.Mary took a deep breath, starting to do

PyotrIt was the first week of October, Mary had started physical therapy and slowly she was allowing me to get closer.First we were able to have a conversation, then she began to allow me to help her, touch her, and finally we were back to sharing a bed.As promised, I was giving her space, and it seemed to be working. Little by little we were on our way to becoming the couple we were before." Are you ready? " I questioned Mary as I heard the ringing of the doorbell. It was almost time for her physical therapy session and she seemed a bit down today." Sure," she sighed, as I walked to the door." Is everything alright? " I frowned, interrupting my path." It's nothing," as usual, she guided her chair to the window. I hated to see her like this, but according to Denise, her physical therapist, Mary was responding well and would soon be using the walker." You know you can tell me anything, right?”" Answer the door, Pyotr," she said, "Soon Denise will give up and leave, you shoul

MaryThe sound of the door opening caught my attention. My mother stepped forward to help my husband who came in carrying some bags, Libby and the kitten that were in their transport cage." Sorry for the delay," he smiled, "I thought I'd better come by and get them both at once, I'm sure they'll miss you.”My mother took the groceries to the kitchen, while he released the two from their little prisons. It seemed like a century since that Friday when my perfect life fell apart." He's huge! " I exclaimed as I saw the kitten run towards me and jump into my lap.Libby did the same, but stopped at my feet and whined." How are you feeling? " Pyotr approached." Fine," I assured him, "Can you put her on my lap too?”" That's a start " Pyotr fulfilled my wish, while I stroked Corgi's ears and the kitten nibbled her paw." I'm going home " My mother commented as she approached me " I'll be back tomorrow, okay?”" All right " I smiled." Don't push or rush," she lowered her tone, "Just don't

MaryAfter a hellish week in that hospital, I was finally able to go home. According to Dr. Clark, the surgery was a success. Slowly the feeling in my legs was returning, although I didn't have the strength to move them, which was a bit painful.I hated going back to the apartment with Pyotr, I wanted to keep as much distance from him as possible. It was hard to have all those conflicting feelings inside me. I loved my husband, I wanted him to be around, I wanted his support. But I couldn't forget what happened. I felt anger towards him. Not for my situation, despite what everybody said, I didn't blame him for that. But I blamed him for our situation, I blamed him for feeling alone so many times, I blamed him for not being able to trust him, I blamed him for not being able to feel his touch without me remembering everything, I blamed him for having that whole fight tarnish the memory of the first time he told me he loved me.How can we get through all this?" Here we are," my mother
Suddenly Peter And Mary Chapter 74
PyotrI went back to the apartment at night, knowing that I couldn't stay with her while she was in the ICU. I felt lost being in the apartment alone. I went to our room, deciding to take some things to the room on the second floor.It is already Tuesday and I haven't slept properly since Saturday, which means I am exhausted. But I couldn't sleep there alone. We still weren't sure about the success of the surgery, and even if it had been successful, it would take Mary a while to walk again. I fell asleep on the couch around four in the morning.Omar, Elena and I came to the conclusion that it would be better to tell her about the report only when she went to her room, so as not to disturb her recovery. I visited her in the morning, and didn't have much to do for the rest of the day until the next visiting hours, so I decided to go to the publishing company to see how things were going.As soon as the elevator doors opened, Halley stared at me in surprise. Her gaze then turned to conte
