While we were having breakfast and talking, I see someone come through the door, and when I see him I felt that everything was going in slow motion, that my heart was about to leave my chest.
But how is it possible?
It can't be here, no, I look away but when I see again. He was still there, at the bar ordering a drink, Evan kept talking to me but I didn't hear him, he just nodded.
-So if you want to marry me?
He almost choked on the orange juice;
-What do you say?.
-Are you okay Emma? I asked you that question because I realized you weren't listening to me, did you see someone? -He fixes his eyes on the same place where I was looking and when the man at the bar turns around It wasn't Ares, it was very similar-I know what you're thinking-he stares at me.
-Hey?
-That it's only eight thirty and he's already having a whiskey-laugh-he must have a difficult morning.
-Ah yes, but I don't think I drink a whiskey at this time-for a moment I thought he was able to read my mind, I hope not. After that false alarm, Evan left me at my work and I felt more secure, but I still believed that that man at the bar was Ares, my brain played a trick on me. I try to occupy my mind only at work and that is what I do, I cannot make a mistake. Enough thinking of Ares and Evan shirtless.
* 5 months later *
After several months, Evan and I decided to take the step of moving in together, yes I know that they must be thinking that it is very soon but Evan showed me to be a good person and even a good future father for Mia, speaking of Mia, he started to talk more and his new favorite word is shit. If so, you read well, I was summoned more than seven times to her nursery because he does not stop saying it, although once I use it well because a girl bothered her and Mia told her shit. If she was wrong but come on, that babe deserved it.
Alanna ended her affair with her law professor, or so she says, I don't know the reason for her breakup very well, I just know that supposedly All left him to his dear professor but I don't believe him so much, as my grandmother would say, here there is a cat locked up. If she already finished her degree so she could have continued as a girlfriend with her teacher but like I said, there is something strange in this. I will have to speak well to her because you do not stop loving a person from one day to the next, unless she has done something wrong or made a mistake.
We went to visit my parents ... Mia went with me and I know she doesn't understand yet but I explained that here are her grandparents, at first I didn't want Mia to know about them because they didn't love her but Evan told me it's not about being just as bad and unfair as my parents, quite the opposite, I had a hard time understanding it but I accepted it and I miss them every day. In the parks I see grandparents with their grandchildren and I imagine that those are my parents with Mia, as I would have wanted everything to be different, that I have gotten closer to them instead of distancing myself more.
I miss my father too much, he always took me to eat ice cream secretly from All so that he wouldn't get jealous or he would make me coffee when I stayed up late studying.
I try to save all the good times and forgive them, no matter what they did to me, I forgive them. And I will always love them. Although I wish I had them with me today.
At this moment I was arranging a painting that I had made of Mia when she was a baby, she was in kindergarten and it was strange to me that they had not called me yet, perhaps today she did not say her favorite word, she finished arranging the painting and I go to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Do not think that I stop working and that I am going to live on Evan's money, today is my day off so I took the opportunity to accommodate a little. I was almost finished when I heard the door open, it was Evan and a happy MIa with a mouth full of chocolate;
-Hi sweetie-he gives me a kiss on the lips.
"Evan, what did I say about giving him treats before lunch." I turn around and continue with the food, Evan hugs me from behind.
-I'm sorry, but you should have seen the face he made, I couldn't say no, don't be mad-he leaves, looks in his briefcase and comes back, I bought you a chocolate too. I look at him making me angry but I ended up smiling.
-You are terrible Evan-I give him a kiss-help me set the table please.
-Of course darling. Oh and he lets me wash today.
-OK. Thank you.
At the table, Mia, in her way, told how she had done in kindergarten which was very funny because Evan asked her questions like; "Did he really say that '" Did I really treat you like that? "It was very funny because Mia was talking more and more about her day.
Evan, while washing the dishes, told me that he wanted us to go on vacation in Europe;
-Evan, love I can't, what will I tell my boss?
-Emma I already told you to quit, I don't want my wife to work when I know I can afford to give her what she wants.
-Do you want me to stay here to watch Netflix all day and wash your panties Evan? Really? You know that I work and we already talked about this,
wait they give me my vacation and we'll go wherever you want.
-Good and I don't want you to stay here to wash my panties Emma but I want you to be comfortable.
-And I am while I work, I am not one of those women who go shopping all day and spend more than ten thousand dollars on clothes.
-Hey, Emma look at me-take my face forcing me to see him in the eyes-I know you're not one of those women, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to give a bad message.
-Okay-I give him a kiss-now let me continue arranging Mia's clothes.
"Will you wash my panties?" She runs off to the kitchen.
-You're an Idiot.
"Yes, but well you love this idiot," she yells at me from the kitchen.
