AprilRaykaToday is a special day, Gael's birthday. And we are going to spend it together.At first he suggested we take advantage of spring break and go to Atlanta together, so I could meet his family, but I felt insecure about going there and I know he noticed, although he didn't say it, so he chose to spend his birthday with me.For having made him choose, I decided to prepare something even more special, if he already deserved it before for everything he did on my birthday, now I had to do much more.That weekend I went to visit him, it was my first visit after the proposal, and he took me for an early celebration dinner, since my birthday would only be on Wednesday and gave me my gift, a plush Beast, and for the first time said, "I love you".Yes, on the 8th in the morning, I received a breakfast basket early in the morning, along with a bouquet with 25 roses, one for each year of life, and in the evening, while we were making a video call, I received a birthday box, with a cake
NovemberRaykaI look in the mirror, fixing the collar of my dress, it is wet velvet, dark purple, with long sleeves and a high collar, and it goes down to my knees. This is my first Thanksgiving in my own home, and this year I have so much to be thankful for. I feel happy about how my life is going.The girls and I graduated with honors from university and after graduation, we took a 20-day trip around Europe, given to us as a gift by my dad, we each chose a country to stay in for five days, Sarah chose Greece, Ness chose France, Liz chose Italy, and I chose Germany. It was on this trip that we got a tattoo to always remember our friendship, we chose to get four mini jewels on our arm, diamond, sapphire, ruby and emerald, one for each of us.Less than a month after graduating, we had our office open, joining our initials, we chose to call it VARS, we managed to set it up in a commercial building in Back Bay East, we have our floor with four rooms, in addition to the anteroom, where o
RaykaI sit down with the girls around the table in the kitchen, which I use when I'm alone, and pour myself a glass of wine.“This world is too crazy” Liz laughs. “This week a couple of engaged couples came to the office to make a prenuptial agreement, you can't believe what they wanted to put in the clauses.”From her tone, it wasn't just about money or anything common.“What was so strange about them anyway?” Ness asks.“Well, apart from the normal clauses, they put in that each of them will have one day a week to themselves, and that they must have sex 3 times a week and if one of them denies it they must pay the other a fee of a thousand dollars, unless it's for doctor's orders.”I can't believe they had to put something like that in a marriage contract, are they getting married just to populate the world, because those who love don't need to demand something like that from their partner, love and affection comes naturally, as well as the desire to be together and make the partne
RaykaI hear the doorbell ringing and I get up to answer it, it must be Noah or Trey, who came to see the girls, since other people usually ring the intercom downstairs before going upstairs. I wipe my face and open the door, but I never would have guessed it would be him there.“Gael?” I don't understand what he's doing here.“Hell, you're crying.” He speaks coming over to me, taking my face in his hands and wiping the tears away with his thumb. “I am sorry kitten; it wasn't meant to be like this.”This man wants to drive me crazy, he can only, first he calls ending our relationship, now he shows up at my door worried about seeing me crying and still using the nickname. I turn away from him and cross my arms in front of me.“What are you doing here?”“Kitten, don't move away from me.” He holds out his hand, but I don't move, which makes him run his hands through his hair. “This is not going as I planned.”What the hell did he plan? It can't be a better way to break up, and if he's in
RaykaOur kiss becomes even more intense, making me consider dragging him to my room.“Rayka, I think the turkey is ready.” Liz shouts from the kitchen interrupting us. “Come eat and leave the naughtiness for after dessert.”I can't help but laugh at Liz's sentence.“I wonder if she'll still be thinking that when she finds out Bryan's downstairs?”“Is he here?”“In Ness's apartment waiting for my signal.”If Bryan is at Ness's apartment, it means that Gael must have been there when he called me, and that explains why he didn't make a video call, he knew I would recognize the place. Wait a minute if they are at Ness's that means she already knew they are in town, the question now is did she know just that or everything else.“How much does Ness know?”“Everything, she's the one who helped us find a house in town, but don't be mad at her, I asked her to keep it a secret to surprise you.”“You said, 'helped us', so Bryan is moving to Boston too?”Since graduation I've been waiting to see
RaykaI notice that both Gael and Bryan look a little sad. Despite the way they made this surprise, I know they both worked hard to get these jobs, and it was for both of us, to be close to us.“Bunny, I didn't mean to hurt you.” Bryan seems sincere. “The time I didn't spend at the hospital, I spent studying, I had to do my best to get this job. Seeing you wouldn't help me with that, and you know it.”He's right, if it was Gael and I in this situation, we would want to be together and that could get in the way. Better let Liz calm down a bit more, besides now it's my boyfriend's turn to explain himself.“And you love, what's your story?”“After asking you to be my girlfriend, when I got home Bryan came to talk to me and asked if I was serious about our relationship.”He told me this, we laughed a lot because I did the same with Bryan.“I said yes, that's when he asked me if I had ever stopped to think that to be with you, I would have to move to Boston, because you wouldn't go to Miam
RaykaI think about everything that has been told, when a detail catches my eye, something Sarah said about their house.“Sarah said that she got "ONE" good house for you, does that mean you will share the house?”“Yes we will, both Bryan and I spend more time at work than at home, so there's no point in spending money buying two houses, we talked and agreed to share a house.”A very logical solution, and I'm sure Ness did her best to get a great house for them.“Not least because in our spare time we will want to be with our girlfriends, and as my bunny deserves more comfort than an apartment can offer, and I don't want to have to keep looking at the Pitbull’s ugly face.”He thinks he annoys me with that, little does he know I like it, after all that nickname brought me love.“The house was the best option, we have already agreed on how the relay will be at home, so I see you as little as possible.”In fact, for those who are used to that beautiful house in Miami, an apartment would
Two years onRaykaSitting in my office, I try my best to concentrate on the documents in my hand, but it is impossible, I get up and go to the window, leaning my forehead against the glass, I stare at the Charles River while I let my mind wander.How could I have been so careless, so soon I was always careful with the smallest details, and in such an important matter I did this. I haven't slept for three nights now, and I know that tiredness isn't helping me, but every time I lie down, I keep thinking about it and I can't sleep. I won't be able to rest until I resolve this situation, however, I am scared of what will happen, but I need to do this, and I need to relax until the end of the night.Today is such a special day, because it's been 2 years since Gael asked me to marry him, I will never forget that night and what came after, our relationship has been wonderful. Since he moved to Boston, we have never been far from each other, and we have never had a fight, not even a disagree
