CHAPTER 18
I didn’t know what to say to her, I stood still and I couldn’t even stop her when I saw her get into a cab and leave, when I realized what happened I took my car to catch her but I couldn’t, when I got home my mother was about to reproach me but I stopped her by telling her that everything that was happening to me was her fault since I didn’t want to be good to this girl.
-But I only told you to be nice, not to kiss her passionately. That’s not my fault.
I glared at Stacy as she opened her mouth and told my mother what happened at the engagement party, now I was just worrying since I didn’t know where she was.
-Listen, Eros. Go and talk to her, tell her you didn’t mean for her to misunderstand things…..
-That’s the problem. I didn’t misunderstand, it might sound crazy but… I think I like Bianca.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
-Really? -said my mother and Stacy at the same time. -No, no… it can’t be… you like that girl, but she’s not even ready in any way.
That doesn’t matter to me now, not anymore, the problem is that I don’t know if it’s because of the baby that I feel compelled to like her, or is it just physical attraction, the way we kiss… the chemistry that explodes when we get hot… I don’t know.
I went to my room seeing that my mother was saying that Bianca’s company was affecting me, she may be right or maybe not, I just know that somehow I’m attracted to her but I’m not sure it’s love.
When I saw the door of her room, I approached to know if she was crying because of what happened, but nothing could be heard, I took the handle of the door and I saw that it had no lock, I opened the door and the light of the lamp was the only one that illuminates near her. She was asleep, I got close enough and when I saw I realized she was crying for a while, her cheeks were still red as well as around her eyes, she had tears on her cheeks too.
For the first time I felt a pang from touching her stomach, as I did so I wondered how my blood could exist inside her, a little person that over the years will call me daddy. I never saw myself that way, being a father was something that was not in my plans. “Knowing her wasn’t either.”
Is it possible to fall in love when you thought your heart already had an owner. Before I thought it was impossible but now… I realize that it is possible and unfortunately I am living it in my own flesh, I fell in love with an arrogant and Muttley who the first time he saw me called me a beggar, somehow, I want to be always by his side, see him smile, work, talk to him I want to spend so much time with him that I no longer dislike the idea of marrying him on the contrary I want it to happen.
Something was in the way of my neck so I wanted to get it off me but when I felt a hand I opened my eyes to see who had come into my room, “What? Eros was sleeping on my bed and I was sleeping on his chest.
-Is it so true that you are in love with me?
I got up immediately from the bed, he was awake and was watching me, embarrassed and annoyed I told him to leave my room but he only opens his eyes and shakes his head in refusal, seeing that he wouldn’t leave I locked myself in the bathroom and waited for him to leave.
I don’t know how long I was waiting locked up but when I heard the door open and close, I opened the door a little to make sure he was gone, seeing no one outside I went out more calmly.
-So you wanted me to leave.
-But what?
Taking me by surprise when I see him hiding behind the bathroom door, he takes me by the waist and chin while watching me with a mischievous smile, I avert my eyes from his, I didn’t want to see him, not after last night.
Telling him how I feel was a mistake on my part since he will obviously make fun of me, maybe I misinterpreted things by saying I was jealous “I shouldn’t have said that either” I don’t know what I was thinking saying it, I thought after what happened in the elevator it was a sign that we were in symphony
-Surely you must be thinking it was a mistake what happened yesterday. You shouldn’t take back what you say, saying what you think is something that characterizes you very much and that I really like about you. -What he said and not the kiss he gave me -Come on, get ready because we’re going to the best wedding designer to prepare everything in a week.
-What?
-Did you forget that you told my father and his brother that the wedding is a week away? -I had completely forgotten. -By the way, I like you too, you little freak.
When he leaves my room I was speechless, out of nowhere a smile appears on my face not believing what I just heard. I was afraid, so afraid that I was falling in love with someone who would kick me out of his life in two kicks, and now, I’m incredibly happy because he just told me that he likes me, “although he also called me crazy” but that’s omitted for this time.
After going to the expert on the subject, Eros called his father and told him where we would be so that he would be present at the time of the ultrasound.
-I told you, once he knows the pregnancy is real, he won’t trust his brother anymore.
-Maybe.
When the doctor arrived she invited us in and started with the usual routine every time she came, we were all anxious because we would finally know if it was a boy or a girl.
-Congratulations, it’s a girl.
-A girl. -Eros cocked a smile. We’ll have a daughter.
He seemed excited in some strange way as he had a scary smile, when the doctor came out, Eros’ father congratulates us for the baby.
-Thank you sir, I hope you will also be present in your granddaughter’s life.
-But… there is a problem. Roberto told me about something that has me puzzled and that makes me doubt about you. -That didn’t sound right anymore. -Are you sure you are the father of that baby Eros?
