2024-10-29 19:42:56When we left the motorhome, the flashes of the cameras were everywhere. I grabbed Grace's arm tightly; she, completely soaked, looked at me.
"What's wrong now?" she asked.
I lowered my head a little. At first, I wasn't ashamed of him seeing me semi-naked, as it seemed ridiculous to me that he would look at me with lustful eyes. But seeing myself in the mirror and noticing how horrible I looked, embarrassment took hold of me.
"Everyone saw how you vomited on me, I'm embarrassed," I lied.
I considered myself a strong and self-assured woman, but this had caught me by surprise. Maybe it was because my ex-fiance had messed with my little sister, or maybe it was because of the impending menopause, but I felt really bad, and that wasn't an exaggeration.
"Great! We'll be famous, even if it's just for a couple of weeks," Grace said enthusiastically.
It was because of things like this that I didn't send her packing. Even though Grace was so crazy, she brought fun to my life, and I was infinitely grateful for that.
"You better stay quiet before we become famous for another reason," I threatened her.
Grace and I left the place as stealthily as possible. Honestly, I didn't want him to see me; I was embarrassed.
ONE WEEK LATER
I had a prospective client in front of me. She was crying her heart out, and I couldn't understand a word she was saying.
"I understand, but can you explain it to me more calmly?" I asked.
She sniffed and nodded.
"He cheated on me with my own mother," she said and started crying again.
I took a deep breath. I still couldn't understand how people could do such a thing, for example, my ex.
"I understand and I'm really sorry, but if you don't calm down and tell me how things happened, I won't be able to help you," I said.
She stopped crying and put on the expression all my clients put on; one of revenge.
"I want to kick him to the curb, I want him to suffer every time he thinks of me. I also want full custody of my children," she said.
I nodded immediately; that I had understood loud and clear.
"I'll work hard to get everything you're asking for," I said.
She shook her head immediately.
"I want everything, I'm not going to let that filthy pig anywhere near my children. And you know what's worse?" she asked.
I shook my head.
"The jerk got my mother pregnant, and she's fifty-two!" she said indignantly.
I had seen and heard everything, so nothing surprised me. The things you found out in this job were like something out of a book.
"We'll have it all," I assured her.
She smiled satisfied with my answer and then stood up.
"Can I trust that we'll win?" she asked.
I nodded immediately; this case was a piece of cake. I stood up and shook her hand; she squeezed it, and we closed the deal.
[....
I went to buy some wine at a supermarket near work. I wanted to watch a romantic movie and get drunk, since I didn't have work tomorrow. I walked through the aisles picking some good bottles. I would order some food from my favorite restaurant and have a wonderful evening.
"Kat?" someone asked behind me.
I turned around immediately. It was Hayden, wearing a T-shirt with a huge cartoon on the front. He was wearing worn jeans and sneakers; dressed like that, he looked even younger.
"Do you have a party?" he asked.
I looked at the three bottles I had in the basket; I slowly raised my head and looked at him. He was smiling; he had dimples and perfect teeth, cute bunny teeth.
"Yes," I replied.
"Great! What are we celebrating?" he asked.
I wanted to say something interesting, but nothing came to mind.
"My future victory," I replied.
He approached me and took the basket from my hand.
"Will you invite me?" he asked.
I smiled.
"Actually, I just want to get drunk while watching a movie," I blurted out.
Not all of us had an interesting life.
"That sounds... great," he said.
I blinked a couple of times. Was this guy dumb?
"Can I come with you?" he asked.
"Do you not have anything interesting to do?" I asked.
He shook his head while smiling.
"What movie are we watching?" he asked.
I bit my lower lip. It was obvious he wouldn't accept a no for an answer.
"Christmas romantic comedies," I said.
He let out a little laugh, and I looked at him angrily.
"I'm sorry, it's just that my mother also likes those movies," he said.
I took the basket back and started walking away from him. Not even when my ex left me did I feel as humiliated as I did now. How could he compare me to his mother?
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that," he said as he walked behind me.
I started putting some sweets and snacks into the basket. Tonight I was going to watch movies until dawn.
"I really am sorry," he said.
He grabbed my arm. I stopped and looked him in the face. Hayden looked desperate now.
"It's okay, and we like the same things because I imagine we're almost the same age," I said.
He opened his mouth a little and then shook his head.
"She's forty-two," he said.
"And I'm thirty-six; that's not much difference," I said.
"She had me young," he said.
Every word that came out of his mouth made me feel angrier and angrier. I wanted to hit him on the head to make him stop talking.
"I'd like to accompany you; I also like those movies," he said.
I handed him the basket.
"You pay," I said.
He nodded; he looked satisfied and happy. Who understands guys these days?
"I just want you to drink with me and watch the movie. When it's over, will you leave my house, okay?" I made it clear.
Hayden nodded. I walked to the cashier; he walked beside me in complete silence. Then he paid for everything I had picked and we left the supermarket.
"You follow me," I said.
Since he had brought his car just like I did. Hayden arranged the bags in my car and then went to his. I got in and started the engine; I wanted to get home quickly and take off my heels, they were killing me.

Hayden parked his car next to mine in the building's parking lot where I lived. He helped me take out the bag and followed me to the elevator. I glanced at him, and he had a silly smile on his lips."I'm not going to sleep with you, you could be my grandson," I said.He stopped smiling and looked at me."Why do you think I want to sleep with you?" he asked.I wanted to smack myself for saying such nonsense."I don't know, you're acting weird and that confuses me," I said honestly.Hayden smiled sideways."I don't want to be anyone's sugar mommy," I said.Hayden started laughing. Now I felt even more stupid. God, why did I say so many stupid things?"Can you stop?" I asked, annoyed.He stopped laughing and looked me in the eyes."I'm sorry," he apologized as he gave me a smile.The elevator doors opened on my floor and I stepped out. I walked to my apartment without looking back. One of my neighbors looked at me and greeted me, then glanced over my shoulder and smiled."He's my nephew,

I greeted the other employees at the law firm where I was a partner. I went to my office and put some documents on the desk that I needed to review."Good morning," Lily greeted me.She came in with a bouquet of red lilies in her hands. She put it on my desk and smiled at me."They're for you," she said with excitement in her voice.I took out the small card that was among the lilies and read: "I will conquer you. Sincerely, H.""Who is 'H'?" she asked.I gave her a dirty look, and she quickly left my office. I set aside the card and started to work. My phone rang, and I answered it immediately."Do you like the flowers?" he asked.I looked at the screen of my phone and frowned. How on earth did he have my number?"Would you like to have lunch with me?" he asked.I didn't know what to say. How could this guy stress me out so much?"I'm busy. I ask you not to send me flowers and not to call me again," I said.Hayden laughed."Are you nervous?" he asked.I almost choked, but I took a de

Waited for my sister and the cockroach bastard to leave before turning to look at Hayden, who had a sweet and mischievous smile on his lips."Let's make a deal," I proposed.He crossed his arms and nodded."I'll give you the month, but you have to pretend to be my partner. If in a month you don't win me over, we'll continue with this until my sister gets married, we'll be good friends, and we'll have a good time," I said.Hayden scratched his nose a bit."Sounds good to me, but I know I'll win you over, I'm charming," he said with a smile and a wink.I let out all the air I had in my lungs, and my shoulders slumped. I had gotten myself into the lion's den for being "mature" and not wanting to look like a loser with my sister."That guy is disgusting, how can your sister want to marry him?" he asked."I need a drink," I said.I turned around and started walking towards the road; I would go to a bar, have a couple of drinks, and if I was lucky, I would find someone to have a good time w

Hayden stopped the car in front of huge gates; one of the guards who were standing there approached us."Mr. Bennett," he greeted.The guy waved to the other, and he opened the gates. I looked at Hayden, what kind of person was he really?"What the hell are you?" I asked him.Hayden smiled but didn't look at me."I'm a human who has a very rich father," he told me.I took out my phone and googled his last name; a bunch of results came up: "Oil magnate Alexander Bennett acquires major company, becoming one of the wealthiest men in the world.""Don't fuck with me, are you Alexander Bennett's son?" I asked, surprised.He nodded slowly."Let me guess, there's a huge plane here, and you're going to take me to another country," I said.Hayden turned to look at me and laughed."That's too much like a romantic movie," he said.I rolled my eyes immediately."So what are we doing here?" I asked him.Hayden stopped the car, got out, I got out too, and started walking beside him; he led me to a h

We arrived at her apartment, and she opened the door. I entered immediately; she looked at me and then smiled."I'm a woman of my word, I wasn't going to leave you on the street," she said.I shrugged; anything could happen with her, so it was better to be cautious."Stay here, I'll get comfortable," she said.I nodded. She disappeared into her room, and I stayed there, looking around. On a shelf, there was a photo, so I approached and observed it. It was a much younger Kat, appearing to be on some university campus and looking beautiful. Another girl was with her, a brunette with huge glasses, looking like the typical nerd."What are you doing?" she asked, startling me.I turned around and looked at her; she was dressed in oversized pajamas."It's like three in the afternoon," I reminded her.She shrugged and went to the kitchen."I like to be comfortable while I get drunk and watch romantic movies," she said.She took a bottle of wine from her fridge and placed it on the kitchen cou

I woke up abruptly feeling my breath being cut off. Kat was practically sprawled over my chest, and Grace's leg was on my abdomen, pressing down as she hugged my leg tightly. I moved Kat aside a bit and tried to lower Grace's leg. Kat lifted her head slightly and opened her eyes, staring at me; I smiled a bit. Her hair was tousled, and her just-awakened face was so lovely."Did you sleep well?" I asked her.She squinted her eyes and lay back on my chest. I looked up at the ceiling and frowned; I was living every man's dream, but in a bad way."Your heartbeat is soothing," Kat said sleepily.I smiled satisfied with what she said; I was on the right track."Kat, my head hurts," Grace complained.Kat moved away from my chest and sat up in bed; she looked at me and then at her friend, who was still clinging to my leg."You drank two bottles of tequila; it's a miracle you're alive," Kat replied.And it was true, Grace drank much more than Kat. Grace let go of my leg and also sat up in bed.

While I was working, I couldn't stop thinking about what Grace had said. Maybe I could give it a try, after all, I wouldn't be hurting anyone. I bit my lower lip and took out my phone from my bag. I searched for his number and stared at it for a moment, unsure whether to call him or not."This is so hard," I said to myself.I took a deep breath, closed my eyes for a moment, opened them again, and looked at his number. I pressed the call button and waited until he answered. I stayed silent for a moment; I was already regretting it and I hadn't even proposed anything to him yet."Kat?" he called."Hello, how are you?" I replied.I fell silent again. I didn't have the courage to talk about the subject; I was getting all tangled up because of paying attention to Grace."Are you okay?" he asked."Do you want to have lunch with me?" I asked him.Now he was the one who fell silent."Really?" he asked me.I was about to hang up, but I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. I was thirty-si

In the afternoon, I went to visit Grace at her workplace. I needed to vent to someone about what had happened today with Hayden. I knew she would come up with some offhand comment that would make me laugh. "Apple cider or cyanide?" Grace asked me. I smiled and sat down in front of her. "I suggested we hook up, and he said no," I told her. Grace's mouth dropped open, then she furrowed her brow. "I thought he was into you," she said. I nodded. "He wants us to have some kind of non-relationship. I just don't get it," I said. Grace looked even more confused than I was. "What do you mean?" she asked. "He wants us to hang out, and if at any point in our non-relationship we want to hook up, we will, but he doesn't want just sex. He wants there to be, like, feelings or something," I said. Grace crossed her arms. "That boy is weird," she said. I nodded vigorously. "Exactly! He's too weird," I said. Grace shrugged. "He could've given you the night of your life, and he'd have the

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
