Fabiola glanced at him, uneasily.She had planned to tell him about this when he was on a very good mood and would definitely understand.
She didn’t tell him at their honeymoon because she didn’t want it to be ruined for them.
She beamed at him.”I’ll tell you when we get home.”
Lorenzo smiled back and nodded.
***************
As he drove home,he couldn’t help but think about what Fabiola had to tell him.
She hardly ever keeps anything from him,at least,since they fell in love with each other,they always told each other everything.
And then something crossed his mind.
Was she perhaps pregnant?!
His eyes dilated at that thought.
Yes,that could be the only thing she had in mind.
Maybe she had wanted to surprise him with the news.
His lips stretched into a smile.
He would be so happy if she would give birth to a boy this time.
Then perhaps,they could agree
But people were different,right?The fact that this man’s wife cheated on him with a younger guy doesn’t mean Fabiola would cheat on him when she goes to college,right?Lorenzo wanted to be optimistic.Recalling the look on Fabiola’s eyes,he knew she really wanted to go to college.And more than anyone,he knew how happy she gets when she does what she wants or achieve something.He really wanted to give her that chance.It wouldn’t be fair to rob her of it.So tentatively,he slowly got seated on a stool beside the man.“Hey,man.Don’t mind for butt in,I just kinda overheard the whole thing.”Raphael began,awkwardly.The men looked at him and as if they recognized who he was,they were found no problem with him coming close to them.“Mr Martini,I’ve always wanted to meet you.”The heartbroken man,replied wiping his cheeks.“But clearly,not in this
Alice called up her daughter to ask her about her admission status.“I still haven’t gotten in,mom.”Fabiola said,dejectedly.Alice hated how sad her daughter sounded.“The third badge would be released next week but I’ve gotten less hopeful.”“You’ll get in,honey.Don’t lose hope yet,I believe you will.”Fabiola sighed.”Enzo said the same thing.I guess I should really keep being optimistic.”When the call ended,Alice sat on her couch deep in thoughts for a long time.She knew Fabiola’s chances were slim now.Fabiola would not let her pull in her connection but she couldn’t have all this money and let her only child struggle to get what she wanted.She would make it easy for Fabiola.She had to.She only had to make sure Fabiola doesn’t know about it.With that thought,she got dressed and headed off to see the Dean of the university.********************“Mrs Garcia,it’s quite an honor to have you in my office.”Dean Edgar began,delightfully.Alice had also made great contributions to the
“You want to go to college?You’re going to meet so many people!”“And?Don’t you meet lots of people in your line of work?”“I’m different.You know that!I can not be swayed by anyone.You’re all I see.”“And I can be swayed?For the umpteenth time,I’m going to college to better myself,academically not to look at boys!I have a man already.”Fabiola ran a hand through her hair in agitation.“It’s not fair that my life should revolve around the fact that you’re rich and my parents are rich.I want to do something for myself despite all that.Is that too much to ask?”“I’m just…I’m scared,Fabiola.They say college boys are…”“Who said?”“I met this men at the bar,he…he is currently going through divorce procedures.His wife left him for a college dude.They’ve been together for twelve,that’s not even a quarter of how long…”“And that made you certained that when I go to college,the first thing I do is to hook up with a college dude?”“I was…”He tried to walk closer to her but she moved back.“We
Lorenzo blinked,minutely.”No,Fabby,I won’t do that.I’m really sorry for what I did.It won’t happen again.I’m sorry for not being supportive enough.I’m so sorry.”Fabiola shrugged.”I’ve heard your apologies.Can you leave me alone now?”“You…you know I can’t do that.Please forgive me.”“I have.”“You haven’t.”“Enzo,you…”At that moment,they heard Elena crying and Fabiola shut her eyes,briefly.“I don’t wanna talk about this anymore.”With that,she walked away to tend to Elena.Lorenzo ran a hand through his hair,guiltily.****************He wasn’t himself all day at work.He kept thinking of ways to make her forgive him.He sent her texts after texts but she didn’t reply to any.Oh Damn,he had only wanted to protect his marriage but it seemed he was about to ruin it.That evening,on his way home,he got her a bouquet of flowers and wrote a note personally on it.He also got tons of her favorite snack.He knew what he did was wrong.He was sorry for it.He had realized that he had to try hard
Lorenzo cupped her cheeks.“Thank you for always choosing me,Fabby,despite all my flaws.”She beamed at him.”You’re exactly what I need in my life and I cherish every moment I spend with you.You are today and all of my tomorrows.”Lorenzo smiled at her feeling shy all of a sudden.This woman really knows how to make him blush.“When you said you were coming home today,I cooked dinner.”He announced.Fabiola frowned.”You cooked dinner?”He nodded,excitedly.“Why am I scared of this dinner of yours?”Lorenzo laughed.”You’ll like it.I…Lucia assisted me and she said I did a good job.YouTube helped too.”Fabiola grinned.”Now,I’m excited to taste it.”Smiling from ear to ear,he led her to the dining room.As she got seated,Lorenzo placed the casserole dish on the table beside the salad that he made.She was impressed.“It looks good.”He served her a portion and sat down.She took a bite and closed her eyes as she savored the food.“Mmm.”She opened her eyes and nodded,enthusiastically.“This
Jasmine stared at Fabiola closely but she still couldn’t figure out where she knew Fabiola from.“You’re a Fine art major?”Fabiola asked.Jasmine smiled and nodded.”Theater arts here,I’m already picturing myself being an actress someday.”Fabiola chuckled.”That sounds nice.I’m interested in the painting aspect.But don’t worry,I’d watch every movie and series you’ll be on in the future.”Jasmine laughed.”You’re such a sweet talker.I feel like we’re going to be good friends.”“Me too.”Jasmine discreetly ran her eyes through Fabiola’s clothes.They look expensive,so expensive that she felt she was in rags compared to Fabiola.Her eyes caught the ring on Fabiola’s finger.“You’re married?”Fabiola nodded.”Yes.”“Wow,you got married early.Why?”“Well,I guess that’s how my life’s meant to be.I just can’t bear to be away from Enzo anymore so we had to get married officially.Plus,we have a daughter.”“Awwn.”Jasmine cooed and then something occurred to her.”Enzo as in Vincenzo or Lorenzo.”“L
Fabiola slowly took off her dress and laid on the big four poster bed.“Hey,Handsome.”She purred at the man taking off his suit jacket.She was a bit drunk but she knew exactly what she was doing.This was what she wanted.When Fabiola Brosnan had found out that she had a tumor in her brain…she had cried for days and nights…She had wished there was something she could do about it but the diagnosis had showed that it was too late.She had only a month to live.She came to a conclusion that she couldn’t just cry away the month…At the end of her life, she did not want to leave too many regrets.She had two goals at the moment.To get bedded and to find her parents,To find her parents, since she wants to know why they abandoned her before she dies.Yet the first goal is comparatively easier.Tonight,she had gone drinking at a club and at the same time,she had gone through all the men around trying to find the perfect man to take her virginity.She wasn’t this kind of girl…the girl who
Fabiola felt consciousness return as if it was far away.She opened her eyes and sighed feeling sensations coming back into her body…And her body felt deliciously heavy and languorous.Strange new aches and pains were present in her muscles….No not pain…it felt pleasant.She looked around and realized that she was still in the suite.The stranger was gone now…She was happy he had left…It would have been awkward to face him this morning.She didn’t even know his name yet she had slept with him.She didn’t feel any regret though…Desperate times calls for desperate measures.Her cheeks grew hot recalling that she did it.She finally did it.The stickiness in her lower body made her decide to take a shower before going in search of clues about her parents.Fabiola got up just to see a small red dot flashing in the bag she carried with her, and boom! As if remembering something, she slapped herself violently on the back of the head.Had she recorded a video of her having sex with that
