All Chapters of 8 Seconds - The Cowgirl and the Doctor: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Two years onRaykaSitting in my office, I try my best to concentrate on the documents in my hand, but it is impossible, I get up and go to the window, leaning my forehead against the glass, I stare at the Charles River while I let my mind wander.How could I have been so careless, so soon I was always careful with the smallest details, and in such an important matter I did this. I haven't slept for three nights now, and I know that tiredness isn't helping me, but every time I lie down, I keep thinking about it and I can't sleep. I won't be able to rest until I resolve this situation, however, I am scared of what will happen, but I need to do this, and I need to relax until the end of the night.Today is such a special day, because it's been 2 years since Gael asked me to marry him, I will never forget that night and what came after, our relationship has been wonderful. Since he moved to Boston, we have never been far from each other, and we have never had a fight, not even a disagree

RaykaIt doesn't take long, and Gael has stopped walking and I hear the whistle of an elevator, which means we must be in a building, has he brought me to a hotel? But if we are in a hotel, why didn't anyone say anything, every Boston hotel I know has an elevator attendant in the elevator, but here it is complete silence.I feel the elevator stop and Gael again starts walking, it may be crazy in my head, but it feels like there is more than one person walking. I hear what sounds like the beep of a door lock and then Gael stops walking and I hear a door slam.Gael walks a few more steps and stops again, this time kissing me intensely. Then he puts me on the floor and slowly moves his hands up my body until he reaches my face, kissing me again, before moving away a little and taking off my blindfold.I can't believe what I'm seeing, we are in a hotel room, the lamps are off, the light comes from hundreds of flashing lights on the wall, the floor is covered with red rose petals, on the c

Rayka“I think we can talk calmly now.”I know we have a lot of topics to talk about, but his way of asking is cute, so I decide to let him choose the first topic.“And what do you want to talk about?”“Before you said you would marry me, you said you only didn't say yes during the first proposal because you needed to tell me about the baby first.” I didn't think that would be the topic. “The point is, if you knew since Sunday that you were pregnant, why didn't you tell me before?”I can feel in his voice that although he is happy about the baby, he is upset, and I know that the only way to solve this is by telling the truth, I lift my body more and look into his eyes.“Because I was scared, I spent the last three days thinking about it, blaming myself for being careless, for not telling him that day about the medicine, since as a doctor I would have known there was danger, and I would have done the right thing.” I feel my eyes fill with tears again, but I need to say everything. “I w

GaelI feel a shadow over me and think it's Rayka who has returned, but as I lift my face, I see a blonde girl, she has slowly lifted her sunglasses and put them in her hair.What does she want here? “Hello.” She spoke in a honeyed voice.I realize she speaks in my language, so she should know I'm not from around here.“Hi.” I answered automatically.I'm not one to judge people before I meet them, and although Rayka is not the jealous type, I don't think it's right to chat with another woman in her absence.“My name is Darlete.” Seeing that I didn't answer, she continued. “The sun is hot, and I forgot my sunscreen, would you mind putting yours on me?”I would have to be very naïve to believe that it was an innocent request, and not to mention that I have seen this too many times in Miami to know her true intention.“I do mind, I'm married and the only woman I pass protection on is my wife.”I was hoping that hearing I'm married would be enough for her to back off, but apparently I'm

GaelAt the hotel, we go to the door that gives access to the stage, and as soon as I enter the hall I am shocked by the decoration, the floor is with a carpet that looks like sand, the walls are with curtains that simulate a fence like the rodeo arena, on the tables there are decorations that look like shadows of cowboys riding bulls and on the chairs a cape like a cowboy vest and to complete in a corner a mini rodeo arena with a mechanical bull.The stage is even more decorated, with lots of straw on the floor and some plush oxen, instead of the table, there are some wooden barrels, the middle one with a three-story cake and on top a mini arena with a candle that looks like Adam riding a bull, the other barrels are with cupcakes.“My mom really went all out this time.”It was a lot of effort, I would never have thought of even half of this decoration, I can't answer him, Adam struggles to get off my lap, I go down the stairs of the stage and release him, who ran out of the hall.
