The Ceo’s proposal

I don’t know… what really happened to me, I think I overdid it too much and I shouldn’t have said all that, surely now he must be hating me because I’m too much the opposite of what he’s looking for in a girl, although that doesn’t really matter to me but I think I owe him an apology “I guess it’s the hormones.”

I haven’t seen him all day, last night much less so and I think it’s because I’ve already crossed the line of his patience and I get it, no man would want to tolerate a woman with pregnancy hormones he doesn’t love.

When I heard the door open I thought it was Eros’ mother’s lady-in-waiting, but when I heard his voice I looked up immediately, it was him, he just came home from work, I wanted to apologize and tell him sorry but I thought he was also at fault.

-Are you ok?

-Yes,” I answered in a whisper, “And you? Tired I guess.

He doesn’t answer and walks to the edge of the bed quietly, sits down and stares at me seriously.

-I’m sorry about last night. I just wanted to have fun… but I guess I’m not good with jokes.

“Did this proud man just apologize to me?”

I was surprised and I couldn’t hide it, I smiled in happiness because it felt good to hear those words.

-I’m sorry too, I think I was very cruel and… that’s not me. -I guess the hormones didn’t help much. -he repeats hormones confused -It’s what makes women more sensitive and sentimental, mood swings drastically during pregnancy.

-I didn’t know pregnancy had so many complications.

-And that’s nothing.

We both smiled at the same time, a short but nice conversation indeed, I didn’t expect this to happen but I like it.

-I wanted to ask you out but I remembered that in your condition you can’t stand for long so… -the door opens and the lady who prepares the food enters with a big banquet, I was astonished really I was. -I hope you like lobster.

I was so shocked that I couldn’t stop watching him, I never expected a detail like this and even less from him, maybe it’s part of his apology, I really didn’t expect it, the fact that he apologized surprised me, this left me speechless.

-Eros… really… this is…

-It’s a more concrete way of apologizing to you. I went too far with that joke and now I hope you’ll accept it by having dinner with me tonight. What do you say?ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

-Eros… seriously because… -he raises both eyebrows for me to give him an answer.

How could I say no to such a charmingly good apology. We both sat looking at each other as we enjoyed a wonderful dinner, it was the first time we both had dinner together as he never came for dinner he was always late but now, he is here in front of me.

I was so full and happy that I ended up lying down again, I look at the ceiling with a huge smile, I hear him stand up and leave the tray away from the bed, and suddenly, I feel him on the side of the bed, when I look to the right side, there he was, looking at the ceiling too. I closed my eyes for a moment and without realizing it, I fell asleep.

I woke up yawning as I felt a small glow on my face, blinking a couple of times I felt a breath on my head, looking up I saw him sound asleep, I was petrified because he was here and I was on his chest comfortably as if we were something, “but it’s nice to wake up like this”.

He stirs uncomfortably so I pretended to still be sleeping and groan when he tries to get up, my heart is racing as I thought he would wake me up or yell at me to get me off him, but he didn’t, he stayed still and I felt him start to touch my hair subtly.

-Bianca… Bianca.

-Mmm… -I mumble without wanting to get up. He asks me to wake up making me laugh inside -A few more minutes.

I wanted to see if he would wait or shake me off, I wanted to know what he would do so I clung to him to see how he would react and even though I kept pretending to fall asleep for a while longer, he didn’t wake me up, I couldn’t stand to laugh any longer so I got up yawning again and went straight to the bathroom where I laughed subtly so he wouldn’t hear me, I washed my face and then came out with the brush in my mouth pretending not to remember anything and when I saw him I frowned confused and asked him what he was doing in my room in the early hours of the morning as if he didn’t know he slept with me.

-Well, last night you fell asleep after you closed your eyes and… you used me as your pillow all night.

-What? -this time I was really surprised-Really all night?

He stretches and makes moving as if he was exercising, and leaves my room without saying anything else, I was with a huge o in my mouth without believing it,

-I really didn’t let go all night. No,… that’s impossible.

I wanted to ignore what happened last night and the fact that we both spent the night together but I couldn’t do that it was like it was our first date and it was actually great, I loved the detail he had in apologizing. That dinner was enough to calm me down, I was no longer angry, on the contrary, I feel happy.

When I was ready to leave, when I saw him coming out of his room he looked at me and asked me if I didn’t sleep uncomfortably so I laughed because he knows very well that I slept better than ever. He notices my happiness because he doesn’t stop watching me carefully.

-Well, last night I had an unforgettable dinner and we slept amazing because… we felt protected. -He caresses my belly with a smile. -Thank you, he smiled.

-All right. -He waved a smile. -Then, let’s go.

-Go… where to?

-Where are we going?

-You forget that there’s a marriage pending. Let’s go.

-What, what?… Wait, are you talking about it?. -You forgot it’s part of the marriage.

-You forget it’s part of the contract. Now come on, we have to prepare everything.
