Pyotr

I am lucky to have her by my side.

" Rozanov," Omar's voice finally forced me away, "will you release my daughter or will I be forced to have you arrested for indecent exposure?”

" Sorry, Mr. Navruz " I smiled politely, turning away from my wife.

" Good, now I need to have a serious conversation with both of you," he began, pulling out a chair for Elena to sit in.

" I told you to forget it," Elena glared at her husband.

" I've been talking to Edgar," Omar accepted a glass of champagne from the waiter, while Mary picked up a canapé.

" Was the conversation about the size of these things? " She murmured, "I'm going to starve to death until dinner is served.”

" He told me that Jacob and Allie intend to have three children and they will start trying soon after the wedding.” The man continued as Mary shoved the canapé into her mouth at once “What do the two of you intend to do about it?”

" What do you expect us to do?" I stared at him, dreading his answer, as Mary struggled to finish

    PyotrThe weeks went by, the strong heat of July gave way to milder weather as August progressed. Almost every weekend we went to Central Park and Mary loved these interactions, especially when they involved her friends. Today will be one of those days." Pete, where's my cap? " Mary called out as I put our things on the bench at the side of the baseball field we occupied in the park." Here," I grabbed the Panthers cap from the bench, tossing it to her, "Aren't you supposed to be a Giants or Jets fan?”" Just because I'm from New York? " She rolled her eyes, tucking the cap back on her head. Mary looked beautiful, wearing jeans, a navy blue shirt, and sneakers." You grew up here.”" I already cheer for the Rangers " she shrugged " that's enough.”" And you also cheer for the Yankees? " I approached her holding the bat." I don't like baseball." She lowered her tone, looking around." So, you like Football and Hockey," I commented as Allie and Matthew came toward us, "but you don't

    Pyotr" He's cute," Mary smiled, sitting down on the bench while the other team took their position." Mary, aren't you going to bat again? " Allie called out." You can go, Allie," Mary shrugged, "You're the only one who hasn't batted yet.”" What have we ever talked about, people throwing balls at me? " You can do it, princess," Jacob assured his girlfriend, handing the bat to her." Did you like him? " I sat down next to Mary as the cat tried to climb over her." Yes," she smiled, "he's dirty and skinny.”" Allie, you have to at least try," Jacob shouted, drawing our attention. Allie winced with every ball thrown her way.Ian hurt his shoulder and was on one of the bases this time, while Paris took the pitching position." It's not hard, you just have to concentrate on the ball," Margot encouraged." Do you think she can do it? " I questioned nonchalantly." At some point," Mary shrugged.But on the next pitch, the girl hit it. It was a great hit, even more so if you add the fact

    MaryEven though I had spent the last few days telling Pyotr that I had packed my suitcase, I ended up faking a headache the morning of our trip, just to get everything packed on time and not admit that I had lied to him. " Damn, I'm already later than I intended to be," I muttered, hurrying to fold the last of my clothes, "I still have to take you to my parents' house.”I lowered my eyes to Libby and the kitty who were watching me closely. For the past two weeks Libby had been getting closer to me and the kitty to the point where she stopped running away whenever I got close and came back into our room." Libby, where is he? " I groaned, noticing the cat's disappearance as I closed the suitcase and set it down.Another thing I have discovered in the last two weeks is that taking care of the cat would not be that easy. That animal is completely insane!The corgi barked as I searched the room and bathroom." How could you not know? " I complained " We're late!”I went into the closet

    Mary We returned home just to pick up our bags and headed straight to my father's house in the Hamptons. For the first time I was excited to spend the holiday there. We were all having a great time. Even Ian was not so insufferable anymore, he decided to try something serious with Felicity, making her stop picking on me a little. I am not sure what was having more of an effect on him, his relationship with Felicity or the new BMW convertible his mother gave him. I invited Halley to come with us, but she had an appointment in the evening, and assured me that she would be there on Saturday. I spent the whole way exchanging messages with Allie and Paris. By my calculations, we would arrive at the beach almost together. " You are really excited about this," Pyotr commented, watching me as I drove. " It's different from last time," I explained, "I don't have to think about marriage at all, there are new people, our group has grown and it's more fun.” " It looks like it's going to r

    MaryI felt my heart stop painfully for a few beats, it was as if the ground was crumbling beneath me and was going to swallow me up any minute. What are they doing? Why are they doing this?" Mary " Pyotr's voice sounded distant. I was trying to recover, ignoring the pain that had settled in my chest, causing Margot to turn confusedly in my direction, her eyes widening in surprise." Ohh Mary," she stood up awkwardly, picking up her tank top from the floor by the bed, making me realize that she was only wearing a bra and light knit pants.I felt the anger begin to drown out the pain. How could he do this? The two of them... How could they do this to me?The sound coming from the living room seemed miles away, all the joy in the next room while my world collapsed here." You have five seconds to get out of this room," I growled, staring at the woman.Margot walked quickly past me, as I finished entering the room. Pyotr had closed his eyes and was breathing deeply, while I held back

    PyotrI spent some time arranging with Yulia for her visit at Christmas. She had been dying to come ever since we got back from our honeymoon. In the end we agreed that she would spend Christmas with Mary and me, and that maybe we would return with her to Russia to celebrate the New Year. I just need to consult Marianne about this.When I left the kitchen Mary was putting away the dishes and that was all that was left, so I decided to take a shower and join everyone in the living room. My shower was quick, from the noise coming from the living room, the game was lively and I didn't want to waste any time. I never imagined that one day I would be in this situation. I have never been a person who has many friends, and yet, I felt good and had fun around all of them. I wrapped myself in my towel and went into the bedroom to get my clothes. I was going through my suitcase, which was on top of one of the armchairs by the window, when I heard the bedroom door open behind me. " Are

    PyotrAs soon as we arrived at the hospital, Mary was taken to the emergency room while I took care of her chart. It was not long before Simon, Jacob and Allie arrived. Ian stayed behind to clarify some points with the police, as he was the owner of the car." How is she? " Simon asked, approaching me in the waiting room.Jacob was keeping Allie away from me, which was probably the best thing to do." Bruised," I murmured, "very badly.”" She'll be fine," he assured her, "You both will.”" I'm not so sure," I giggled a little nervously, "If she didn't want to see me before, then now…”" She just needed some time " He took a deep breath." Yes, some time to recover from walking into the room to find her half-naked friend with her husband," I groaned, hiding my face between my hands." I still don't understand how this happened," Simon looked at me crossly, "Margot locked herself in her bedroom after you left and didn't answer any questions. And Allie has asked countless questions." I

    PyotrOmar bowed his head, not knowing how to answer Mary's question. I leaned my forehead against the door, feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders. Is this really happening? Dr. Clark warned that Mary's chance of paraplegia was over 90%, but..." I'm going to call a doctor," Omar declared, visibly affected." I'm not going to walk anymore, am I? " She sobbed." Princess," he took her hand again.I should be there, I should be the one supporting Mary at this moment. But I knew what I needed to do. I stepped away from the door, I had to get a doctor, I had to do something to help. Anything." Pyotr " Elena almost bumped into me as I hurried down the hall." Mary woke up " I told her. " Tell Mr. Navruz that I've gone to get a doctor.”" Sure, but... " I didn't stay to hear the answer.The doctor would know what to do, I'm sure. She said she would have a last resort in case this happened." Excuse me, I'm looking for Dr. Clark " I stopped a nurse." Is there a problem? " She fr

    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?" Here we are," my mother

    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.
