Chapter Seventy Six

Giggle

Then another

Ronald

He’s giggling while sleeping. I hadn’t noticed him laughing before, but what could he be dreaming about? He looks so happy.

“What are you dreaming?” I whisper while running my fingers through his smooth hair. But then his eyes opened, like he heard me. Why does he attract me so much, even in his sleep?

“Hey!”

“Rose!” He came up and kissed my lips while I was smiling. What’s going on? He looked down and then at me. His gaze was fixated on me. Wait! No. I stop breathing when his hand rests on my stomach. What? God, he knows? How?

“In my dream, I saw you lying in the shadows and admiring the lovely sea outside. But then I turned around and saw someone calling out to me. He stopped again and kissed me hard again. What...? His hand rolled on my stomach. What is he expecting?

“Ronald.”

“He called me daddy.” No please. Don’t speak further. My body, which was calm a moment ago, now went cold. Why do I feel pain? It’s my choice not to tell him why I want to speak up.
