Just in time

Everyone greeted me with a wide smile, they didn't ask anything. I changed clothes in the guest room and went to bed to sleep. I woke up in the morning to see Jules sitting on me.

„Seak! Did he cheated on you? Are you canceling the wedding? Does the bank take your company?"

"You little well-wisher."

I pulled the blanket over my head.

„Only the best for you…"

„It turns out that he doesn't just have a company worth billions… where we work Ska Skailors… well, it's also his…"

I heard a huge bang, and hurriedly sitted up it. Jules was sitting on the floor and I saw she was about to tear her hair out.

„Are you kidding me now? There is no such thing… I swear there is no such thing! How can you be such fucking lucky. What are you depressed about?"

" I don't even know… my life is starting… getting a little different than I planned…"

„ I mean, you fear you're not good enough for a dick like that. „

She saw through me immediately.

„So we can say…"

"All right, give the hard-to-get one for a few days, then offer him a great grace so he can get you… but only because he's good in bed."

She waved, then stood up.

„ And yet, why should I do that."

„ Because this is the Sophie mode."

I laughed.

„ With Midas' hand, you're worth more than all the treasures in the world… so just play the big shot and fuck everyone else. „

She shrugged and left the room.

For the first time in my life, comforted or gave me the confidence what she said… and I have known Jules for quite a few years. I scraped myself together and went down to breakfast.

„ You came home just in time, baby!"

Dad poured me a glass of orange juice.

„ We have to take Peter to swim tomorrow, but everyone has something to do…"

"No problem."

I smiled.

"It's unbelievable it's been a year!"

„ Yes, time flies!"

Francis laughed.

„How long are you staying?"

Patrick asked, he didn't really appreciate my presence.

„2-3 days, I do not know… as long as I feel like."

I smiled at him with my eyes saying "If you don't like it, get lost!".

Ever since I learned the background story of my brother-in-law's marriage, the only feeling I had for Patrick was pity.

I rested and played with the baby for the rest of the day. Dereck did not call me, but rather asked Francis about the situation. That night came an sms with a photo of him sleeping in bed hugging my clothes.

'I love you! I miss you.'

Smiling, I sent him a kiss and went to bed to sleep, miss me for a few more days… after that, I'll be there for him all his life anyway.

I woke up early the next morning because I had to buy a swimsuit somewhere , before I was going with Peter to swimming. I got an old woman's one-piece black at a nearby hypermarket.

Peter was such a good kid, he smiled at me with all his 8 teeth in the car too… he didn't bother to swim that there was no mom in the water with him… he enjoyed the lubrication. I have to mention that the baby girls couldn't even take their eyes off the curly, blond-haired, blue-eyed prince.

I would have played him all day int he water, but we had a date with the others. After shooting a couple of selfies, what Jules asked for as a status report, we headed home. Since we were going in Jules 'car, the child seat was already automatically engaged to the front seat. So it was easier for me too ,because I had a better view of the child and he saw the way too. I would add that if I turn off the airbag, what I did, it is a perfectly regular way to transport the child.

As we drove up the highway, I suddenly noticed a huge crash. As I looked away, I saw a truck overturned and the cab was drifting towards us at a fairly high speed. I couldn't get out of it's way, but I pulled the steering wheel aside to only hit the back of the car. I could feel my heart beating in my throat as a child's life depended on me too… so when I could no longer help ourselves with steering, I reached out to Peter as far as I could ,to grasp anything from the vehicle debris with my body.

My adrenaline level escaped into the skies, the little boy didn't even have time to scream… the cab as it hit the back of the car, it tore off and we slammed into the railing. Unfortunately, the car after us is crashed into us…
