Working for Hayden's team was very demanding. I was a mess with some documents I had to draft, and I was also busy with my other job.

"You look terrible," Lily said as she entered the office. She left me coffee on the desk and sat across from me.

"Have you been informed that someone new will be joining today?" she asked me.

I nodded. I had received an email with all the information a week ago.

"He's really good," she said.

I looked away from the documents I was reviewing and glanced at her.

"Is he here already?" I asked.

She nodded, a silly grin on her lips.

"His name is Matteo," she said.

I already knew his name, but the truth was I didn't remember his face even though I had seen his photo; I hadn't paid much attention.

"And they're waiting for you in the conference room to formally introduce him to the team," she said.

I rolled my eyes. If they had started with that, I would already be there. I got up and walked out of the office, heading to the conference room and entered; almost e

    Upon entering the restaurant and sitting at one of the tables, this Matteo guy started chatting with Kat, leaving me out. I just watched them like an idiot. I'm not jealous, but this situation was uncomfortable, and what bothered me the most was that Kat hadn't been able to tell him that we were dating. That hurt."Don't you think she's cute?" Kat asked me, showing me a photo of a girl about ten years old.I forced a smile and nodded. Kat handed the phone back to Matteo and continued talking to him, ignoring my presence."And what do you do, kid?" he asked me.I stared at him. I could see how much of an idiot he was. I knew he'd say something to try to make me feel inferior. I knew guys like him."I'm a race car driver," I said proudly.He started laughing and looked at me pitifully."And if that doesn't work out, what will you do next? Flip burgers for a living?" he asked.I didn't look at Kat. I knew she would give me that look, asking me to calm down, but I couldn't. I felt so much

    I woke up to the smell of fried eggs and coffee. I stretched in bed and then got up, put on my pajamas, and headed to the kitchen, where Hayden was, shirtless with his jeans hanging from his hips. He turned to me and smiled, walking over to give me a sweet kiss on the lips."I hope you like the healthy food," he joked.I hugged him from behind and rested my head on his huge, muscular back."Did you sleep well?" I asked him.Hayden gently separated my hands from his chest and turned around. He looked at me for a moment that seemed eternal; his blue eyes sparkled with tenderness."I love sleeping with you; it's so relaxing," he said.He leaned in and brushed his lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer; I loved kissing him, his lips always felt soft and eager."Come with me today," he requested against my lips.I pulled away from him and looked into his eyes."Where to?" I asked.Hayden pulled me close to his chest again and kissed my forehead."All the

    A week later, Hayden stayed at my apartment. I felt like it was becoming a habit for him, our relationship was getting a bit too homely, and I couldn't ask him to leave because I loved sleeping in his strong arms; it felt warm and somehow so special."I don't think I can stay over tonight," he told me as he prepared breakfast.I stood by his side and looked at him. "Is something wrong?" I asked.He shook his head immediately. "Jona wants me to train with a new car, and that will take up my whole day and part of the night, so I don't think I can make it," he said.I nodded understandingly, though I would miss him. "It's your job, it's okay," I said with a smile.He leaned in and kissed me on the lips. "I'll buy you something nice tomorrow," he promised.I nodded, knowing he would. That's what I liked about him; he always kept his word.[...]My work finished a bit earlier than expected, so I decided to visit my mother's house. With everything going on, I had been calling her all the ti

    The days passed peacefully at work. Matteo would look at me, but he wouldn't come near me, which was starting to bother me a little. We were adults and colleagues; a simple kiss couldn't harm the friendship we had already built. I saw him head to the kitchen area, and quickly followed him."Are you always going to ignore me?" I asked him. Matteo looked at me and shrugged."I thought you might feel uncomfortable after what happened," he said. I started laughing."It was just a kiss, relax," I told him. Matteo smiled and handed me a cup of coffee."Do you still want me to come with you this Saturday?" he asked. I nodded immediately; my mother would be eagerly awaiting him."Of course, I think if I go alone she'll kick me out," I joked."I'll come and bring Andrea, she won't stop talking about it," he said. I nodded and took a sip of coffee. On Saturday, my mother would be very happy to have them at home, and that would help her in her process."See you there then," I said. I turned arou

    I arrived at the location where the race was going to take place at the time Jona had indicated. Coming a bit later was an offense to him, so everyone on the team took punctuality very seriously.People were already arriving, which was impressive since there were still several hours before the race started."And Kat?" Nora asked me.I looked at her and then smiled a bit. She didn't agree with my relationship; she told me they were going to break my heart soon, but she didn't know Kat like I did, so I didn't pay much attention to her."She's at her mother's house," I replied."What a horrible excuse not to accompany you," she said.Nora looked very angry."It's important, much more than this race," I clarified.I knew what her mother was going through, and it would be selfish of me to push her aside."You're a fool, and when she leaves you for someone else, don't come to me for consolation," she warned.I approached Nora and hugged her tightly; she pushed me away and hit my shoulder."

    I stepped away from Matteo and glared at him; he just smiled as if nothing had happened, and that made me even angrier. I had asked him not to do it again, and he had taken my words as if they meant nothing."Don't come near me again," I warned him angrily."I'm sorry," he said with a smile.I turned away without saying anything and walked away. I didn't want anything to do with him for now. I entered the building and took the elevator, waited until it opened, and walked to my apartment."Kat," someone called me.I turned around immediately; Hayden was standing there, looking at me strangely."Why?" he asked me.I looked at him and then understood what he was trying to tell me."It's not what you think," I clarified.Hayden started to cry; he ran both hands over his face in despair."I swear it's not what you think. Let me explain, please," I begged him.I felt myself getting desperate and didn't know what to do or say to make him stop crying."If you didn't want me, you should have t

    I walked the streets looking for a bar to drown my sorrows; maybe that way Kat's betrayal would hurt less. I wanted to erase her from my mind, forget what I felt. I entered the first bar I saw and went to the counter. I sat there and ordered a drink, downing it as soon as it was handed to me, so I ordered another one."There are only two types of people who drink like that, those who have lost a family member or those whose hearts have been broken," a female voice told me.I looked up, and it was a girl tending the bar."The second one," I replied.She gave me another one, and I drank it in one gulp again."It's not worth it; you'll feel worse tomorrow," she said."But since my job is to sell alcohol," she continued and filled my glass with more alcohol.I chuckled at her comment."I bet a lot of people with broken hearts come to this place," I told her.She nodded."That's why I love Valentine's Day," she said.I laughed a little more and looked at her more closely. She had brightly

    Debbie stepped away from me and looked at me; now I felt incredibly embarrassed about what had happened. I felt like a child for the stupidity I had exhibited with Kat."I'm sorry I got you involved in this," I said to her.She smiled and shrugged."Don't worry about it, it was fun, the look on her face was epic," she said.I hung my head in embarrassment; this was too much, and I don't want to justify myself, but I wanted to make her feel the way I felt."And I'm sorry for throwing up on you," I said, changing the subject.Yesterday, I was so drunk that I couldn't even stand, and Debbie helped me out of the bar. But my mind was so affected by alcohol that I completely forgot my address and, I think, even my name, so she brought me to her house, and as soon as we arrived, I vomited all over her, turning us into a complete mess."Your clothes are clean now," she said.I nodded. I felt so much shame for what had happened. Definitely, this was the first and last time I would drink alcoho

    Two months later.Hayden had left for the workshop early without telling me, or rather ordering me, not to come see the race. Ethan was still too young, and I understood that, but today was the big final, and it seemed fair that our little one saw his father's victory.I called Grace and asked her to come for me. Naturally, she agreed immediately. So here I was, at the door, waiting for my crazy friend, with a bag containing my baby's things and a two-month-old baby in her baby carrier.Grace's car pulled up in front of my house. I hurried over, settled my baby in the back seat, and then got into the front passenger seat next to Grace."Your husband is going to kill me," she said with a smile."He'll kill both of us, so hurry up or we'll be late, and I want to wish him good luck," I told her.Grace nodded and sped off."You haven't been drinking, have you?" I asked her.Grace immediately gave me a dirty look."I'm not a monster, Kat," she said.I shrugged and then smiled at her."Just

    Months later.I started placing photos from my wedding with Hayden everywhere, along with some other pictures. I wanted our home to be as cozy as possible."Love, can you help me move this?" I shouted.Hayden appeared shirtless and sweaty, as he was organizing furniture for the baby's room."Darling, stop moving so much, you're in the final days. You're supposed to be resting," he said to me.I rolled my eyes immediately. I hated doing nothing and leaving all the work to him."I'm just putting up some photos. My arm won't fall off," I told him.Grudgingly, Hayden moved a small table that was in the way."Sit down, for God's sake, you're making me nervous," he said.I approached him and hugged him."I'm all sweaty," he said.I shrugged."You look very sexy," I said to him.He smiled."Please sit down," he asked.I let go of him and suddenly felt water running down my legs."Damn," I said.Hayden looked at me nervously."What happened?" he asked.I smiled at him."My water broke.

    The most important day of my life arrived. Grace was with me in my parents' room, helping me finish getting ready. I felt like a very pregnant princess."You look like a tent, but one of the cute ones," Grace said out of the blue.I glared at her and she started laughing."Sorry, I'm just nervous. This is your first wedding. I'm as nervous as I was when I lost my virginity," she said.I blinked a few times, still staring at her."How about you stop talking?" I suggested.She immediately rolled her eyes."I'm just nervous," she said.I moved closer to her and hugged her."I'm so happy that you're happy," she said with a trembling voice.I pulled away and smiled. Grace was crying."Thank you for always being by my side, and thanks for all your advice, even though sometimes they're not the best," I said.She hugged me tightly."Let's hurry out or we'll ruin our makeup," she said.We both separated and smiled. Grace left the room, and moments later my father entered."You look so perfect,

    Days passed without any problems. Hayden and I were living a dream. In fact, from the moment he proposed to me, Grace and I started planning my wedding. I wanted something small but beautiful, an idea that Grace didn't like at all. She wanted something extravagant, the wedding of the year, according to her.She and I were sitting on the floor of my apartment, flipping through bridal magazines."We could rent a hall, I promise the wedding will be wonderful," Grace suggested."I want it to be in my father's garden, something small but beautiful," I said with a smile.She rolled her eyes."Do you want a wedding like your sister's?" she asked.I immediately shook my head. Despite many changes made to my sister's wedding, it was... boring to my taste. I wanted it to be joyful but intimate."I don't understand you. So, you just want some flowers, tables, and that's it?" she asked."You hit the nail on the head, that's exactly what I want, small but beautiful," I replied with a smile."If an

    Hayden had gone on a trip with the team. I couldn't go with him due to work reasons, so I called him every day to ask how he was, and when I didn't call, he called me. It was sweet, I loved feeling so pampered and loved.Today I was in the office, reviewing some documents. Honestly, all I really wanted was to go home and sleep. With pregnancy, I had become a lazy person.Lily entered my office and looked at me."Kat, someone wants to talk to you," Lily said."I'm not in the mood for anyone," I replied.She took a deep breath."It's Hayden's sister, and she says she won't leave without talking to you," she said.I rolled my eyes. After the argument with Hayden's father, I thought everything was over, but apparently not."Tell her to come in," I said.Lily nodded and left my office. After a brief moment, Hayden's sister entered. She looked at me and smirked."So, is it true you're pregnant?" she said."What do you want?" I asked irritably.She smiled."Just saying hello, that's all," sh

    El rugido de los motores llenaba el lugar mientras Grace and I approached the engineers and Jona, who looked somewhat worried. I glanced at Hayden's car, lined up at the starting line with the others."Trust Hayden," I said to Jona.He looked at me."I trust him, I know we'll win," he said.I nodded. Jona took off his headphones and handed them to me. I put them on immediately."The victory is yours, love," I told Hayden."I love you," Hayden replied."Focus. You can tell me you love me later," I said."Just wanted to remind you, but yeah, I'll tell you later," he said.I glanced to the side and noticed the others with headphones laughing."Okay, you're embarrassing me," I told him.I took off the headphones and handed them back to Jona, who was smiling broadly.The stands were filled with the colors of different teams. The crowd's cheers filled the entire place. It felt so exciting.The lights went out, and the cars sped off, filling the air with the smell of gasoline and burning rub

    The next day, Hayden left for the workshop very early. I decided to stay behind as I wasn't in the mood to go out. I sat on the couch and started looking up information about the guy from yesterday, ending up on his social media. Each photo of him was increasingly suggestive; this man was definitely a first-class show-off."Kat!" Grace shouted, startling me. I stopped looking at my phone screen and looked at her."How did you get in?" I asked her.She sat down next to me, took my phone out of my hand, and then looked at me."Why are you looking at naked men? Wow, this guy is hot! Do you happen to have his number?" she asked.I snatched my phone back from her hand and gave her a stern look."I'm just doing some research, and this guy is Hayden's direct competition," I told her.Grace took my phone again and looked at it for a moment."Don't worry, Hayden will win," she said with a smile."Did you bet again?" I asked her.She grinned from ear to ear."I bet my vacation money, so picture

    I arrived at the workshop hand in hand with Hayden, while Nora and Debbie watched us. I smiled at them and we continued forward until we reached the office, where Jona awaited us with a look of tragedy."Is something wrong?" I asked him.Jona handed me some documents; I skimmed through them and immediately knew that everything was a mess."Who the hell made this mess?" I asked him.Jona ran his hands over his face."Nora did, and I didn't check them. Now we're in a huge mess with this, practically giving away promotions for free," he said to me.I left the documents on the desk and walked out of the office. I walked up to where those two were."I need you in the office now," I told Nora.She looked me up and down and ignored me."You blamed me so much for throwing away all the team's effort, and here you are giving away money?" I asked angrily."I don't know what you're talking about," she replied.I grabbed her arm and dragged her with me back to the office, where Hayden and Jona wer

    I sat on the edge of the bed and watched Kat slowly get naked. He began to take out my cotton sweater, leaving to the open his full breasts and his beautiful belly. Then she took off her pyjamas, remaining with a sexy white-fitting panty.'This is a bad idea,' I said to him.Kat approached me and climbed up to my back.'According to whom?' he asked.She put her fingers in my hair and drew me toward her.'I need you so much,' he said to me.He scratched his lips slightly with mine in a tempting way. I grabbed his waist tightly."Do me love, please," he asked me.She helped me remove my sweater and dropped it on the floor, then she passed her hands over my chest, stopping on my pectorals and squeezing them.'I love you, Kat,' I said.She kissed me hungry, devoured my mouth as if only today existed. I answered her kiss with the same passion, sticking it more to my body. Kat separated from me, stuck her forehead on mine and looked me in the eyes.'I swear to you that I will never see you
