On the way home, we stopped at McDonald's, ordered takeout, all at the request of little Lizzy. My son wasn't that into junk food, but ever since he went to the place with Aaron once, he's become more flexible when it comes to agreeing to eat a delicious burger, not to mention the fries with ketchup. All of that I ordered, and soft drinks too.But before we left the place I had a craving for one of those sundaes, and I bought it for everyone, including Hank and Marcus, who were with us.…To distract myself for the rest of the afternoon, I began to spray the flowers with the atomizer. Although it seems strange that the man addicted to crystals, art and business, would be even a little interested in flower plants. My helper, little Lizzy followed suit, taking care of the pretty pink flower. I congratulated her on her work, she looked at me smiling, wearing yellow glasses.I wondered what Isaac was doing at that time, before he used to do his school assignments, now that the school year
The day flew by, at nightfall I went through the girl's bedroom. I peeked out a bit, I caught a glimpse of Brenda in bed with Lizzy; He attended with a lively smile on his face, while she told him a story like the night before. I was going to kiss her good night, and I preferred to leave them alone. Instead, I headed to the room Isaac was occupying. Along the way I stopped dead when I heard my cell phone ring.I didn't know who could be calling at that hour. Maybe Kelly who never showed up at the hospital. In any case I unlocked the screen, finding out it was just an unknown sender.-Yeah? I answered, frowning."This is Alexa," he said suddenly, just like that. Two seconds later my brain remembered the blonde with the lips of pinion, the tight dress and blue eyes.What the hell was he doing calling me? And the biggest unknown, how could he find my phone number?Uncertainty ran through me in the form of chills."Alexa?""I said s" he blurted out. I could almost swear that I had said it
My eyelids were heavy, with great difficulty I opened my eyes completely, receiving the impact of excessive light on my eyeball. My brain processed about five seconds later, the place where I was. I tried to get up, however, I felt weak, lifeless; I had an intravenous line in my left arm, I frowned, but… What had happened to me? Everything got confusing, I had one of those hospital gowns. The discomfort between my legs jerked me back to reality."The patient Mariané Lombardi has woken up" spoke a young nurse, whom I only then noticed there in the room with Dr. Evanson.Marc moved towards me, asking several questions. On the verge of confusion, it took me a while to build the answer to each one, it was hard for me to string together a word."Terrible, I feel bad" I emitted feeling that my tongue was stuck. W-what happened?“You passed out in the hallway, luckily we were able to stop the bleeding. So you and the baby will be fine."About… what are you talking about, doctor?" “You are p
I came home with blood tests, with the sweet and sour taste of my state. I had little time, less than a month, and I no longer had to expose myself to a lot of tension, stress, anything that could put my little one's life at risk.Even with so much mud, a passable road lay in front, a story, a light that flickered in my belly. But the pressure was still there, the pain, the anger spread in my chest. Alexa's voice returned to my memory, undoing my illusions of finally seeing myself happy next to Ismail.Although aware of the existence of photos that confirmed their disgusting encounter, nothing confirmed whether she was expecting a baby, or it was just a fallacy. Some invention intended for blackmail. You stupid bitch!I died of anger; Ismail was to blame for getting into anyone's legs. Above a witch like that.Couldn't he abstain from only one woman in life?!I roared emboldened.He had given me another slam on the soul, which did not stop hurting."Sweetheart?" His sweet voice made h
There was nothing but hate in my gaze.I wasn't going to pretend otherwise.But it was also a mixture in the soul, saturating my emotions, he had crossed the tightrope of life and death without problem, which is why I should be content, overflowing with absolute happiness. However, keeping his lie in mind left me with a piece of ice stuck in my chest, hating every part of his being.The lurid fact had not been confirmed by him, and I already feared that it was true. Troy burned inside me just thinking that he dared to have sex with that Alexa, maybe if everything had stayed in one night, the present would be different, but the slip brought with it a consequence, a baby.I had forgotten about Smith by my side, I slyly brushed away my tears.“While the patient sleeps, breathing takes place with a machine called a ventilator, something that can be shocking to visitors. It's normal, you don't have to worry" he explained before allowing me to inquire.I nodded my head slightly, assenting.
"You've already seen the photos, that's enough to know that it's not an invention" he dared to say scathingly, drawing a Machiavellian smile on his scandalous fuchsia varnished lips.I covered my face, breathed in and out, I had to calm down, or I was going to leave my place and take her by that thin, pale neck.“What can be a setup, all in order to ruin my life”“No, I don't intend to harm anyone, and your life is already a mess. I must admit that the press played the cards very well. But we are not going to deviate from the subject" she launched victoriously.My blood burned with fury.“All I want is for you to leave us alone, you're a liar, I don't believe you. Maybe you're pregnant, but by some guy out there, not by Ismail as you claim”"You haven't told him, have you?" He blurted out with conviction. Then he laughed mischievously. Do it, show him the photos, see if he denies it."You're a bitch" I spat hotly, reluctantly leaving my drink payment on the table.So I left that site
Ismail decided to take a family vacation, take advantage of what was left of the summer. Going back to the island of Sardinia, albeit to a different area like Ogliastra, brought the memories to my head in an unforgettable thread. Being all in the family turned out to be a warmth that melted the ice forged by curveballs in our lives.Happiness blossomed, the middle ground of things was in place, and it was like being inside our own fairy tale. There was no trace of a consuming fear, nor was there insecurity twisting our present.Sun…The sand…And the waves of the sea lapping on the shore.Nothing warmer than feeling everything at once, attached to the joy of my children. Isaac and his sister made sand castles. How nice it was to watch them play, appreciate the most innocent scene of the two of them, having fun together. My beautiful Lizzy boasted of a pink swimsuit, but Isaac was not far behind, the paleness was replaced in his complexion by a tan.I wanted to take a photo, but I was
"What's wrong, Ismail?" I wanted to know guessed by his expression that it was good news."Tomorrow Brenda will come." I've talked to her, and she agreed to come.“Oh really?” I widened my eyes in surprise.When she organized the trip, she was included, however she declined for family reasons; explained that her cousin's husband had suffered a breakdown due to his terminal illness. I was sad, because I wanted Brenda to be with us, both Ismail and I felt that she was part of our family.I got up and hugged him happily. Barely a week there, but his absence seemed like a thousand years in solitude. Ismail hit me closer to him, nullifying even the half millimeter that separated us. Gently he caressed my back; inevitably a sob escaped my lips, I couldn't hold it back, and I blamed the hormones for my sensitivity at that moment.He separated us far enough, his long fingers subtly lifting my chin, making eye contact possible. I couldn't stop feeling a bunch of nerves looking at him like that
