The Ceo’s proposal

-A dinner with your mother?

-Yes. You must look so impeccable that you don’t look like a… commoner.

Frowning I tell him to stop treating me as if I were less because if I wanted I could leave and I didn’t care about his contract, he turns to see me and asks me if I am really capable of doing it, and I said yes, he approaches me and tells me that he would never allow me to leave his side, I pass saliva when he looks at me too much, unintentionally I put my hand on his face so he wouldn’t keep looking at me that way because it makes me too nervous.

When I see him again, I see that he has a face of few friends, when he leaves my room I put my hand on my chest as I feel my heart is beating too fast, I inhale deeply to calm down, but I can’t do it “I will never let you leave my side” his words are like a double-edged sword as they have double meaning and confuse me too much.

-It’s not what you think. Stop getting silly ideas, don’t be stupid.

Having dinner with his mother is not something I expect since I don’t want to end up being humiliated by anyone, because if that happens, he won’t defend me so I wouldn’t risk it, he says he would tell his mother the truth because it’s the best thing to do otherwise he will tear me to pieces, but I told him why would we deceive the rest if his mother would know, but his automatic answer pissed me off because he said if I wanted to deceive her it would be my problem and not to see him so he could get me out of her clutches.

I caress my belly while I look at myself in the mirror, the only nice thing about all this is that there is someone in this family that will love me and I will be important in her life because I will be her mother and no one will take that right away from me.

Getting ready for that dinner would be problematic, although I shouldn’t care since after all Eros was very clear in saying that I won’t be to her liking and that the only good thing she would be excited about is the baby inside me.

Out of nowhere I felt a huge craving for pizza, the thought of it made my mouth water so I looked up the number of a pizza place nearby to place an order.

EROS

-Eros, you still don’t pay for a streaming platform. -I stop typing on my computer and I shake my hands as it is a habit of hers that I never touch before entering my office. -Are you listening to me?

-Yes,” I said annoyed, “Didn’t they teach you how to play?

-In my house there are only two of us so there was no privacy and I don’t think there should be if “we are a couple”.

-Why do you keep calling me by my first name?

-Because I want to, because I can and because I feel like it -the drastic change of her leaves me puzzled, she seemed shy and now it’s like she has an ant in my ear bothering me every second -Oh… take that face off, you know I have to do it because it will look weird if I call you “you”.

Well, he’s right about that. I take a deep breath and look for a company that has packages to please her and leave me alone, as I made the call I saw she was excited as she had a hidden smile that in the end she couldn’t hold it back.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

-I almost forgot. You give me money, I ordered a pizza with a lot of cheese and well?

-What? -No. Definitely not. Junk food is not good for anyone. Why don’t you ask Stacy to make you something healthy like a salad, for example.

-Iug, no how awful. -I look at her annoyed because she really doesn’t understand that it’s my blood she’s carrying in her belly. -Hey, don’t look at me like that. It’s our son who wants a pizza with lots of cheese and as his mother I’m going to please him since he’s the only one in this family full of arrogance and discrimination who loves me.

I thought she hated him because he was mine and so far our relationship is not the best, of course, only when we are not in front of the others who think we are the perfect couple.

When I heard the doorbell ring she came out excited like a little girl, I followed behind her as she yelled at me that I should pay for my son’s cravings.

When I went downstairs I realized that she was not moving and was talking to someone and the tone she was using was not good, when I approached I saw the delivery man and when he saw me he stood with his mouth open, I certainly give that impression, but only with women not with men.

-Surely it’s some acquaintance of yours

-Is something wrong?

-No,” she says smiling at me and that surprised me, “Everything is fine, I just almost tripped on the carpet.

-You almost fell,” I said annoyed, “I told you to be careful and not to run like a child.

-I’m sorry, but I’m starving and you know our son comes first.

-That doesn’t justify you acting that way. Remember what the doctor told you…” The delivery man interrupts me making me angry and gives me the bill to pay. -I can’t believe I’m so stubborn.

-Excuse my intrusion. Are you two a couple?

-Any problem with us being a couple? -I hate it when strangers want to meddle in my personal life.

-No, I just didn’t think it was true that you were.

-And who the hell are you? -She comes back and this time she asks me for one of my credit cards -What do you want a card for?

I close the door forgetting that guy was there, she tells me to pay a subscription and in the end I did since, she wouldn’t leave me alone. When I hear the doorbell ring again annoyed I opened up thinking it was the same delivery guy, but seeing my mother I froze.

-What are you doing here?
