"I came here to give you space," he says as he wraps his arm around my neck and we walk towards the stairs.
"Your words came to me like a leaf carried by the wind," I tell him as we climbed, "thank you for your advice.""It's nothing, that's what friends are for, no matter how hard it is, you don't have experience and that's why you're ashamed of this kind of thing.""And you're very experienced," I say sarcastically as I laugh, we get to the apartment and go inside, we go to my room and sit on the bed to continue talking."Well, so much that I already have a baby on board," she says, grabbing her huge belly, "but the most important experience I don't have, which is taking care of a baby.""Easy, you'll learn that soon," I tell her as I run my hand over her belly.- How is it that you know so much about children if you don't have any? Curious question.-Well, I have always liked children very much and when my two nieces were born I became attachedA week passed, Alejandra decided to stay with me for a while before returning to her mother's house, as she had decided that she would give birth in her small town, since her mother was the one who could help her in those days when she needed help the most."Abby, what do you think of Alondra Estefanía?" - Alejandra says entering my room, she lies down on the bed and in her hands she had a book of names for babies.- Ah? I say somewhat puzzled, because I was caught by surprise, as I was fixing the clothes in my closet."My daughter's name," she says, turning to the side to look at me. "Alondra Estefanía, I like both names and, furthermore, they are not common.""Well, if you like her, she's your daughter after all," I tell him as I finish putting a shirt in the closet and close it."But what do you think?" Sounds good?"Yes, it's a beautiful name," I tell him as I sit on the bed, "and as you say, it's not common. Did you get it out of this
"Happy birthday love," Matt says to me and comes over to give me a kiss on the lips, "I bought you these roses." He hands me the bouquet, I take it and bring it up to my face to smell the flowers."Thank you love," I say with an overflowing smile, "they are beautiful, I love them."All those present were looking at us, including Alejandra, their looks were overflowing with tenderness, I was intimidated at that moment, I didn't like being the center of attraction, Ale understood and stopped looking and spoke to everyone."Well, well, well, what do you think this is a show?" Get on with your business and stop looking here."Ale, Sheee, don't be like that," I say approaching her, I know she wanted to help me but I was more embarrassed if she put on a show."I'm sorry, friend, but they are being gossipy," she tells me in a whisper, "and I know that this kind of thing makes you uncomfortable because you're not used to it.""Thanks, but leave it like th
"Don't look at me like that," I tell him somewhat sadly.—It's impossible not to look at you, you really are beautiful.I did not know what to say at that moment, I could only smile at that comment, Matthew approached me and raised one of his hands to my right cheek and began to gently caress it with his thumb.—Your beauty can be compared with the beauty of the universe itself, I could even say that heaven itself envies you, for having that beauty that is compared to it, but that we appreciate even more closely and can feel with our hands."What beautiful words," I say smiling and taking hers in my hands, "you are what I long to have and that I thought I would never have, but I see that life gave me the opportunity to meet you and get to love you like never before." I have loved before.That was our moment, those words came out of my heart so easily, which being a shy and reserved girl I did not believe that something like this was going to come
The days went by, Matthew had been very busy at the company lately; From the little he told me, he was setting up a very important business with a client, the guy was somewhat demanding, but that was something that Matt liked a lot since he said that this way the seriousness of that man was more noticeable.Matthew would come home late, and although he was tired he would always take time to watch Luisa sleep for a while, he would sit on a chair in the girl's room and watch her, I would go up to him and start to massage him , stroked his hair until he relaxed, talked for a while with him, those nights as it was getting late Alejandra and I had to stay the night at his house so that he didn't have to go out to take us, because even though he insisted that he could lend me The Chevette to go home he told me no, he told me that at that time a drunk could be walking in the street and we could have an accident and he did not want that to happen.***One day I was sitt
I was in my bed when suddenly there was a knock on the door, when I heard the sound, I jumped a little with fright, I put my right hand on my chest and immediately got up when I heard the insistence on knocking, I left my room and I head to the entrance to open."Abby, I need a favor from you," Matthew says, entering with Luisa in his arms, he was a bit upset.- What's up Matt? "I ask worried," is something wrong with Luisa?"Hmm, Luisa?" No, nothing's wrong with her, I just need you to take care of her for a couple of days, my mom is sick and I need to go where she is, she lives in France —she says something desperate.- I take care of Luisa? Alone and without knowing how long? She is used to me but, - I stopped to think for a moment - I don't think she stays quiet with me for several days, since she has a habit of sleeping with you every night and I'm afraid if something happens to her while she's with me. I don't forget what happened that time while I wa
Lunchtime came and Matthew and Cassandra hadn't arrived yet, it seemed strange to me that Matt hadn't sent me a message and hadn't called."Matthew and Mrs. Cassandra haven't arrived yet," Alejandra says suddenly as if she had read my thoughts, "and it's weird that she hasn't told you anything.""Maybe they had a lot of people in front of them for the consultation," I tell him calmly.At that moment I get a message."Love, I'm going to eat with my mother here, she told me that she wanted to eat Italian food, so, we are not going to have lunch with you, forgive me, okay?" —It was a message from Matthew, I understood it immediately, his mother wanted to take advantage of the time with him."It's okay love, go easy, I'll have lunch with Alejandra and Luisa, I hope you enjoy your lunch, take advantage of spending time with your mother, since you are here" —I reply immediately."Miss Abby, Miss Alejandra, the table is already set," Mrs. Ali
Several days have passed since Matthew decided to break the news to his mother about our engagement, Cassandra has reacted very well, for now she has no complaints about me, she also thanked me for the unconditional love that I have given to Luisa, for her That little girl was someone very valuable, she was also grateful that she did not hesitate from the first moment in helping Matthew to get ahead in his fatherhood career, when Matt told her the story of how we met, her jaw dropped, what I had done not just any girl would have done it, especially if they were sifrinas or interested women.Cassandra has improved a lot since Matthew's arrival and Luisa's presence has also helped her a lot, the day I hear the little girl say Daddy, a few small tears sprang from her eyes, I took advantage of that moment and asked Luisa to give a few small steps towards her, her emotion is something that will never be erased from my memory, at that moment she could not contain her tears and cried
We left the room and went down the long corridor that led to the waiting room, it was near the surgery area, when we arrived I saw Cassandra sitting in a chair with a coffee in her hands."My dear, it's great that you were able to leave now," says Cassandra, getting up."Yes, thank God, haven't they given news of Alejandra?" I ask impatiently.—Not yet, but the baby is in the neonatal area, he's fine, nothing happened to him.- What good news! "I say relieved," but I am desperate not to know anything about Alejandra yet, "I say with a broken voice."Easy love," Matthew says as he embraces me, runs his hand gently over my head, caressing it, while I shed tears on his chest, in his arms I found a refuge in that moment.Several minutes passed, we were sitting waiting for someone to come out to tell us about Alejandra, in itself my patience was not one of my strengths, at this moment it had become torture, but I couldn't do anything else, like w
