Pyotr

Three weeks passed, our interview had been smoother than I expected, the interviewer didn't suspect anything, especially after seeing our pictures together. He only gave me the provisional visa, and we would have 90 days from that date to make it official.

But we were warned that they would investigate our relationship and we could be called for another interview at any time.

Mary went through the whole thing with her mother, Allie, and Jacob's aunt, whom I had not yet had the chance to meet. I felt that she had distanced herself a little from me after my unfortunate statement, and I felt bad about that but couldn't help but be grateful. We were starting to get things mixed up and this was sure to get us into trouble at some point.

We pretended to be fine in public, but when we were alone I could barely hold a pleasant conversation with my fiancée.

" Peter, I swear this will be the last place we visit," Mary complained.

We were both leaving the office. Elena had taken over the

    Pyotr" Let's go inside," Mary laughed, running toward the door, out of the rain.I followed her, feeling relieved that I had managed to escape the situation. Maybe I should have left things the way they were; my sanity would surely thank me." There you are " The lady who greeted me last time appeared " Mary, your mother is looking for you.”" Thank you Viola " I smiled " Are they in the kitchen?”" Dining room " she said before going downstairs." Couldn't he make it easier and do something simple? " Mary snorted and headed for the stairwell.We reached the second floor and headed straight for the dining room, where Omar and Elena were already waiting with the table set. " Dining room? Really Daddy? " Mary rolled her eyes and sat down facing her father. I sat down in the vacant seat next to her." What's the problem? " he questioned as he served himself." Mary, we have a guest today," Elena interjected." You don't mind using the kitchen for other guests," she rolled her

    MaryMy body slowly came back to consciousness. I felt the warmth of someone just below me. Why?I opened my eyes, a little dazed, I was lying on Pyotr's chest, my left leg was over his body and I was hugging him. I tilted my face up to see that he was still asleep.I felt my skin in direct contact with every part of his body. I ran my eyes down the man's chest, still confused about what was going on.There was something strange...As I lowered my gaze down the Russian's body, my eyes widened as I noticed what was wrong. " AH MY GOD " I shouted, pulling away, causing Pyotr to wake up startled." Mary, what is it? " He looked bewildered."Why are you naked? "I held out my hands trying to hide that thing, which turned out to be a big mistake." What are you doing? " Pyotr exclaimed as my hands brushed against his erect member.Why is he like this? It's morning! What was he dreaming about?" I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch that," I felt my face burn before I got out of bed, trying to

    MaryWe walked back to the apartment, leaving Libby there before receiving a message from Allie that they were already waiting for us outside the building." What flavor cake do you like? " I questioned as we walked downstairs." I don't care much for cake. As long as it doesn't have whipped cream," he shrugged." You promised you'd get more excited," I accused him. Allie was waiting outside, leaning against a car and hugging Jacob." Sorry," he justified, "but I really don't have any ideas for cakes. That doesn't mean that I won't help you choose one.”" Is that a problem? " Allie frowned at our little discussion." He must have finally realized what an idiotic thing he's about to do," Jacob said mockingly, "He's looking for a way out.”" He's not going to run away, Adams," I muttered. " But I'm still hoping to convince Allie to leave you at the altar.”" Mary! " Allie grumbled. " Can you two keep the peace for today?”" He started it," I crooned." Have you decided where you're goi

    Pyotr The days passed quickly, when we least expected it, we were getting ready to go to the Hamptons. We would leave right after work on Friday, and stay there until the holiday Monday. I didn't know what to expect from this trip, as Allie was oozing euphoria, and Mary seemed uninterested in anything unrelated to the wedding, which is in three weeks. Lately, I've been making an effort to keep up with her on everything related to our future. We took pictures for the article, chose the destination for the honeymoon, decorated the wedding and furnished the apartment. And so I got to know her more and more.I have been driven to the brink of insanity in the most diverse situations. Since that fateful day we woke up together, Mary and I had fallen into a pattern: whenever we came close, we pulled away, fearing what this closeness meant for our situation. What is this woman doing to me? My fiancée fascinates me in every way. The way she makes me laugh, her peculiar way of thinking, an

    Pyotr" So you're telling me that you're going to be best man at my wedding? " I heard Mary's voice as soon as I reached the room, she was still standing in the doorway, next to Halley. " If you are Marianne Navruz, yes. I'll be best man at your wedding.”" Really? " She insisted." Simon," I greeted, drawing the girls' attention." Hey Peter," Mary smiled, "you never told me about Simon.”" How could I not? " I frowned " I told you I invited him to be my best man. Why hasn't he come in yet?”" Sorry " Halley smiled " It was our mistake. Come on in, I'll show you around.”" You'll show him around? " Mary stared at her friend, "You don't know the house!”" You better park the car first," I suggested.Halley quickly offered to show him the way to the garage, while I walked with Mary out onto the porch, watching the moonlit backyard. " You didn't tell me your best man was so handsome," she nudged me." What?”" Come on, you can't tell me you've never noticed how handsome he

    PyotrAs I regained consciousness I felt a small weight on my chest, and with my eyes still closed, I wrapped Mary in a hug, taking a deep breath as I felt her body nestled against mine." What happened to the pillows? " Her voice was still sleepy. " I don't know.”I didn't care about that, I didn't feel like moving or getting out of that situation. " Is it weird that I'm comfortable here and don't want to get up? " Mary questioned through a yawn, finally forcing me to open my eyes.She was lying on my chest with her eyes still closed, and it was a sensational image. Her hair was slightly disheveled and her expression was serene, the same one I had observed other times when she was sleeping. God, she is beautiful!Mary opened her eyes and tilted her face in my direction, and I stroked her cheek before removing a few strands of hair from in front of her eyes." Good morning.”" Good morning.”She sat up in bed stretching, drawing my gaze immediately. I ran my eyes down her perfectly

" I stammered, staring at my friend. He wouldn't break up with me this close to the wedding, right?" What happened? " Allie held my arm, trying to get my attention, while I continued to stare down the hall." Ian was giving me a massage and... He can't break up with me!”" Peter, wait a minute," Simon called as he took his bag, heading for the stairs leading to the garage.The front door opened as Matthew and Halley arrived. Both were confused by the whole situation, not understanding what was going on."Mary, what are you doing? Go after him! " exclaimed Jake." What happened? " I heard Halley ask. I set myself in motion, running to the garage. He can't just leave!" Peter " I hurried over to my fiancé as he closed the trunk " Don’t go!”" Enough Mary," he growled." Peter, let's t

    MaryI remained silent, absorbing everything Jacob said. That makes some sense." Besides, if he doesn't forgive you, you can show him what it's like to pick a fight with a Navruz.” Jacob winked at me “I doubt he can handle it.”" I thought the Soviet comrade had already left," Ian remarked nonchalantly as he entered the room." If you don't want to end up with a black eye, you'd better get away from me," I muttered angrily.“Mary, come on, we weren't doing anything." He shrugged, heading for the kitchen." If he doesn't have the confidence to hold you down, it's not my problem. Or maybe it's because he knows this is all a big hoax.”" He doesn't need to hold me, because I don't plan on leaving his side. " I rolled my eyes, stood up, and headed for the balcony." Mary, where are you going? " Allie sighed, "Give him a break.”I ignored her, rushing downstairs to find Pyotr and Simon talking in the barbecue area. The sun had already set and the place was lit by artificial lights, but I

    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

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?"

    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.
