CHAPTER 15
Leaving the house is what I wanted the most, Eros’ mother is going to drive me crazy with so many precautions she has with me, and I am really fed up with her wanting to manage me at her whim as if I were her slave, she thinks I can’t tell her that and I can’t, well I can’t but someone else can so right now I was going to where he was to talk to him and let me accompany him to his office, at least there I can be in silence and peace alone with him and alone.
Yes, I also want to be more time with him, for some strange reason, I miss him, I want to be always with him and I supposed it was because of my pregnancy, I have heard that some married couples when they are expecting a child, the woman hates her partner and can’t stand him so I thought that what happens to me is the opposite because we are not really a couple.
-No,” he said flatly and that made me angry. -The office is not the place for you. Plus there’s the fact that you can’t stand for long so it’s better if you stay at home.
-Oh please. -I didn’t want to stay with his mother another day -I’m just going to walk for when we leave the house and when we go to your office. This place is suffocating me and….
-So is my mother. -He says in a mocking tone. -Admit it, it’s because of her that you want to go with me to the office.
-Well, I’m not going to lie to you, yes, it’s suffocating, worse than my mother. -He laughs, shaking his head, “Besides….” I approach him as if I were a child who was reprimanded, “She’s not enough company for me, not like you.
His face unhinges at what I said.
-You’re saying you miss me.
-Yes. Well no, our baby makes me sad that you’re not here.
He stands up and stares at me, I look distressed and sad in front of him making him inhale and exhale at the same time and then accept my request excitedly I hug him and kiss his cheek and run out almost running for my bag. When I went outside he was already waiting for me, he was kind and opened his car door for me and then he got in last.
-Hey wait,” Eros’ mother approaches the car. -Where do you think you are going, dear? Are you forgetting that even the smallest problem is dangerous for the baby.
Dear fake mother-in-law, your grandson misses his father so he will take us to his work so he won’t feel sad, besides, you… can be too suffocating and hard to tolerate.
She opens her mouth pretending to be offended, Eros takes us out of her house and I thanked her as I swear I was about to say something else to his mother, a worse one that I was going to regret later if I said it.
She is too overwhelming and knows no respect for personal space so this was the best thing to do. When we arrived I saw the entrance to the gigantic building and at the same time the memory of the first time I was here was a hateful thing to remember as she called me a beggar that day.
-Everything in order? -she asks while she fixes her suit.
-Yes, I was just remembering the first time I was here. -Even remembering it bothers me since he was such a jerk and an idiot. -You called me a beggar and I won’t forget that, ever.
She looks at me annoyed and walks in without me, I raise my arms as without even doing anything she was upset with me for something that already happened. “wasn’t she supposed to miss me my son”.
When I managed to catch up with her, I ask her if she had taken the vitamins and folic acid they recommended and she annoyingly tells me to stop treating her like she is a child, “It’s enserio!” I avoid having arguments with her as all eyes are on us.
Her pregnancy was more noticeable, and of course, at four months pregnant even she and her mood swings changed as well, not to mention she falls asleep out of nowhere no matter where she is. At first I thought it would be hard to maintain this relationship but it was quite the opposite, she makes it easy most of the time.
Three months have passed since the engagement party and since we had that hot encounter that unfortunately went bad thanks to Stacy. When she told me they needed each other I couldn’t say no to her request and I agreed without hesitation, it really took me by surprise that she said that.
-You know… I’m in the mood for pickles. -He closes his eyes, imagining them, just imagining it makes my mouth water.
-No, no, you’re definitely not going to eat processed food that comes in jars, you know the chemicals in them, it could harm the baby….
-Eros. -She looks at me angrily. -I don’t give a fuck if it’s processed or not, I want pickles. -She points her index finger at me. The elevator doors open and in annoyance I walk out beside her. -Wendy, go get some pickles…..
-Two.” She says next to me and my secretary looks at her in confusion.
-Two jars of pickles.
-Sir, but they don’t sell that here… you’d have to go to the store eleven blocks away.
-Then run. -She said annoyed. -That’s what he pays you for, isn’t it?
Her mood swings are the only thing I can’t get used to, suddenly she’s sweet and kind, or she’s annoying or bossy, “she said it’s lucky I didn’t get Melisa pregnant, if this shy girl behaves like that, I don’t want to imagine what my ex’s fiance is going through right now.
For a moment I took my eyes off Bianca, when I looked for her she was already in my office since the door was open.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
-Bianca, you need to control your moods….
I was speechless when I saw Melisa sitting on my desk, she was wearing a lingerie… too hot.
-Eros… you think I’m…
Bianca stands motionless causing Melissa to immediately get up from my desk when she sees her. I snap out of my trance at seeing her like that in my office and try to get Bianca out of the office but she was more furious and warns me not to touch her….
-What the hell is this Eros?
