UNDER THE SPELL OF THE SWEET PILOT 40
Weeks later, the sale of my apartment went through smoothly; I was determined not to accept any help from my father. I wanted to prove to him that I could handle my life independently. Jona accompanied me to sign the papers for the apartment sale, even though he didn't fully agree with my decision. Despite his reservations, he supported me."Come home; Nora would love to have you there," he suggested.I shook my head. Debbie had helped me find a place in her building, which was quite affordable, so I wouldn't have any trouble paying for it."I've got everything sorted out," I assured him.He looked at me and simply nodded."Your father is still insisting on investing," he informed me.I shook my head. I didn't want my father near me, at least not for the moment. I was still hurting from what had happened."If he invests, I'm leaving," I warned Jona."I've already told him no many times, but he keeps insisting," he commented.I nodded."My father never understands; just ignore him," I

Opening my eyes, a dreadful headache hit me. I buried my face in the pillow and stayed like that for a couple of minutes. Yesterday, I had lost consciousness completely. I threw the pillow aside and got out of bed as best as I could. I went to the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face. I looked at myself in the mirror and grimaced; I looked really awful.The door to my apartment started ringing, and immediately my headache worsened. I walked to the door and opened it. It was Debbie with a cup in her hand."I think you need this," she said with a smile.My sense of smell awakened as I caught a whiff of freshly brewed coffee. I took the cup from her hands and took a sip."What time did you leave? And how did I end up in bed?" I asked.She entered my apartment."I practically carried you. I could've taken advantage of you, but I held back," she joked.I chuckled a bit."What time is it?" I asked.She glanced at her watch and then at me."It's eleven. I think Jona is going to kick y

I arrived at Grace's workplace, entered her office, and sat in front of her. There were several muffins on her desk, so I grabbed one and devoured it."What's wrong with you now?" she asked, looking at me oddly.I looked at her with my best tragic expression."I went back to work with Jona," I said between chews.She rolled her eyes immediately."I'm starting to think you're a masochist," she said.I shrugged."Jona asked me, and I couldn't say no," I replied.Grace closed her eyes for a moment, then took a deep breath and looked at me."Yeah, sure, whatever you say," she said.I swallowed a gasp and started breathing slowly to calm myself; I felt like crying, I was so sentimental about all of this."Hayden is with Debbie, that sneaky bitch, how I hate her," I said.Grace took off her glasses and set them aside."You're both masochists, made for each other. You lie to him, and the other idiot gets involved with a woman he feels nothing for," she said.I crossed my arms and gave her a

The next day I arrived at the workshop. Jona and everyone else were gathered around the new car, so I approached slowly to see what was going on."I won't drive that," Hayden said angrily.Jona turned to look at me and I just smiled at him."I warned you that if he invested, I wouldn't drive. Screw it all," he said.I wasn't understanding anything. So I looked back at Jona, but he just gave me small smiles."He's not your father," Jona told him.Hayden laughed bitterly."But it's a subsidiary, it's the same shit! And I warned you," he complained.Hayden looked at me angrily, turned around, and left."What's going on?" I asked.Nora approached me and pushed me."You screwed everything up, that's what happened," she accused me.Jona grabbed her arm and pulled her away from me."I'm sorry," he apologized.I didn't pay attention to them and went after Hayden."Can you stop?" I yelled as I ran after him.But he didn't stop, so I ran faster until I caught up with him."Go away, Kat, I don't

After my sister's wedding, Grace accompanied me to buy a pregnancy test. She and I went home. I went into the bathroom, closed the door, and sat on the toilet. I was scared of the result, so I stayed there for a moment with the test box in my hands. I thought about how much my life would change if it turned out to be positive, which was very likely, but imagining it was one thing, and being certain was entirely different."Kat, what did it say?" Grace asked me.I, still holding the unopened box in my hand, didn't respond. The door opened, and she came in. She looked at me disapprovingly and took the box from my hand."Stop being such a coward," she said.She took the test out of the box and handed it to me."Hurry up, it's better to know as soon as possible," she urged.Grace sat on the bathroom floor and watched me."Get out," I asked her.She immediately shook her head."Hurry up," she repeated.I nodded, pulled down my pants, and took the test. Grace watched me while I did it, and

Returning home was one of the things I liked most about this job, but for some reason, it no longer felt the same. Coming to my apartment was depressing, cold, and lonely. Sometimes I preferred to go to Jona's house and spend the day there, or simply go to a crowded place and watch people being happy.Debbie was with me in the apartment. She had waited for me to celebrate my victory. I... honestly didn't want to be with anyone, but I had promised myself to change, to go back to being the same as before, and maybe with Debbie, I could achieve that."Congratulations, Hayden," Debbie said, smiling.I approached her and pulled her close, lowered my head, and gave her a soft kiss on the lips."Thanks for supporting me," I said.She and I had agreed to try something, although it had been quite difficult since I was always out of the country."I thought you were going to dedicate your win to me," she said with a smile.I laughed a little. When I won, I didn't think of her. I had thought of K

I woke up to the smell of fried eggs and bacon. I got out of bed and went straight to the kitchen. There, like a dream, was Hayden, barefoot and cooking. He turned to look at me and smiled. This felt like nothing had happened between us; it was like at the beginning. I was so tempted to run into his arms and shower him with kisses, but I knew that was a very bad idea; he was only here out of pity.“Good morning,” he greeted me.I looked away. I didn’t know how to act around him now. Even though everything seemed like before, there was a huge barrier.“Why are you still here?” I asked.Hayden approached me and made me look into his eyes. I looked at him and almost started crying; I needed him so much at this moment.“I made you breakfast. After I see that you’ve eaten everything, I’ll leave, so your bad mood won’t make me run away,” he said.I moved away from him.“Well, I want you to leave now, and I’m not hungry,” I said.Hayden smiled again.“Then I won’t leave. You decide,” he said

ONE WEEK LATER.Hayden had been very attentive to me. It was sweet to see how much he cared about my well-being and our child’s. In fact, today he was coming to pick me up from work to go out for lunch because, according to him, I wasn't eating well.When I left work, he was already waiting for me. I smiled a little, even though I couldn’t see him, because he was inside the car; I knew he was looking at me.“You look so happy,” Matteo said to me.I glared at him and walked away. I hurried to the car and got in. Hayden looked at me.“Do you think Matteo will be upset about how we’re handling things?” he asked.I was shocked by that question.“Matteo and I never had anything. What I told you was a lie. I thought that was clear,” I said.Hayden started laughing, which made me very angry.“Please, Kat, I know you were with him. Debbie and Nora saw you go into a hotel with him while we were together, so don’t lie anymore, please. I really want to handle this well, and I won’t tolerate lies

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
