All Chapters of Obsession - Love: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

I see the man leave his room and stop in front of my desk."Have you had lunch yet?""Not yet. I only had a chicken soup that Nat took earlier, but I was already going.""Did you take the vitamins?" How's the nausea?" he asks worriedly, looking at me carefully."I did." They have improved, but... I haven't eaten much in the last few days, so I haven't had anything to get sick of," I reply, embarrassed because I don't want Valentin to think of me as a bad mother. It's just hard to see myself like this yet."If you married me, I'd be able to take better care of your diet.""Valentin...""Will you have lunch with me?" I have a meeting later, we can go straight from the restaurant." He looks at his wristwatch and waits for my answer. "Please, Nicole. Let me do it.""That's okay."I get up, clean up the mess I made with the papers and my post-its, take my bag, and accompany him. We go to his car, where Lionel is already waiti

I've never been grateful that Tyler loves throwing a party before, but it's going to be useful to me now. At least I'll try to get Nicole closer to me. I want to know about her life outside this office, and I want her to know mine too."Your birthday is the day after tomorrow." I had forgotten," she comments, sounding thoughtful. "I'm going to talk to them to see if they can. I warn you.""All right. Do you want to go out to dinner now?""No, I'm a little tired. I just want to try to get some sleep.""I can cook for you, at your house, if you prefer," I offer, wanting to bang my head against the wall because I've never had to humiliate myself so much for a woman in my entire life."Valentin...""Nicole..." I repeat your name the same way you say mine. "Why are you pushing me away? Things were starting to look good between the two of us. Why are you avoiding me?""Because everything got serious all of a sudden," he confesses in a whisp

I also don't want my son to grow up distant from his father, especially one who seems so willing to participate in everything. So much so that it suffocates me with its over-care, and my baby is only a few weeks old. But I like the attention he gives me, to feel cared for by him. To know that I'm not alone in this. Valentin has been fundamental in this initial period, which has been very difficult. But I'm not being fair to him, so I promised myself that even if I don't marry him, I'll try to let him get closer, at least for the sake of the baby. But it's not an easy thing for me.In all my years of life, I have never had a serious relationship, I have never met anyone's parents or created a routine. There has never been much conversation, to tell you the truth, so Valentin needs to understand that it is not an easy life change. What did I say about hating these sweethearts? I don't know how to deal with them very well. The idea of having a very abrupt one paralyzes me, and t

I focus on the preparation of our food and feel her eyes watching me as I work with my back to her. I'm being cowardly, running away from the beautiful sight that this woman is because I'm horny fucked by her. I can try to hide it, but it will be difficult to be around her without showing how much I love her."You know, there's an advantage in this pregnancy that it happened now. I turn to her when I hear the sad, curious tone of voice.""And what would it be?""My mother," she says so vulnerably that she makes me drop what I'm doing to listen to her more carefully. "She has Multiple Sclerosis. We found out at the same time I joined LDrinks. Some time ago, it seemed like a death sentence, you know? In my mind, I wasn't going to have my mother for long. She wasn't going to be her anymore. Today, I deal with it better, but it's hard not to be able to predict how it's going to be."How long will she walk, talk, and see? Knowing that you're going to be here w

I go around the house, still getting a little lost with the corridors because it's huge. I recorded some things, like the picture on the wall in the hallway of the bedrooms, but it's still hard to get by. I find my room and pick up a few things I think I'll need after I change my clothes, following Valentin's suggestion to wear a lingerie set to shower.When I return to the outside area of the house, he is no longer there, and I wait for him for a few minutes until he returns."Shall we?" He appears all hot, shirtless, with black shorts and sunglasses on his face."Of course."He guides me along the path that leads to the beach, and I already start to smell the sea. I smile and close my eyes, feeling the warmth of the sun touch my skin. I love all of this very much. The sun, the sea, the good memories they bring me."It's good to see you happy," Valentin says next to me, also smiling."It's good to be happy.""If it's up to me, that's
