CHAPTER 13
" A WARM WELCOME"
After three wonderful days, it was time to say goodbye to heavenly Hawaii. This was the first time in a little over four years that I had taken some vacation days away from New York; whenever I had been "on vacation," I never really wanted to be out because I was afraid of something profound that might happen during my absence and always ended up shortening my days off to go back to work. Sadly all good things must come to an end; that's not fair.
I accepted my best friend's proposal to take a few days to relax; I needed to clear my mind of all my occupations. Who am I kidding? I did it because, like the coward I am, I wanted to run away from Stefano Graziani, and for what? To see him in every man on the island, for my mind to play tricks on me and hear his voice in every place or think of him and yell his name every time I had sex with another man.
"Good morning, sunshine" I enter Alena's room humming as she does; it's eleven in

"ASSUMING RISKS""Aaahh, this is life," says Alena after letting out a big sigh, "I needed this so badly; the last few days have been crazy," her exaggeration makes me roll my eyes."You are so dramatic! It's only been a few weeks since our trip, three to be exact. Yes, we've had busy days, but don't exaggerate either."How selfish you are, Christie Swan! I'm your assistant; only I know how demanding you can be, not to mention grumpy, exasperating, and neurotic.""Hey!" I exclaim, offended."I'm just justifying the reason for my stress.""Thank you; you're so kind!" I mumble. I kept silent while I continued enjoying the massage. I needed to come to this place; my back was in knots, but I would never say in front of Al that would prove she was right, and it's a NO for me."So... what did you decide?""About what?" I ask, playing dumb."Don't be ridiculous. You know very well what I'm talking about.""I'm scared, Al,"

"I ONLY ASK FOR THAT"Hearing that reply from my lips makes a huge smile spreads on his lips; he lifts me and brings his mouth to mine, we melt in a passionate kiss. My arms automatically went to his neck, and my hands got tangled in his straight hair. Seconds later, we begin to move until he gently positions me in the middle of the bed."I'm going to kiss your body until there's not a single spot left that my lips have touched," he whispers in my ear, making me shudder. Without any urgency, he begins his work, leaving a path of wet kisses on my neck, descending little by little, making my excitement increase second by second.The instant he introduces one of my perky breasts into his mouth, my back arches, and I feel like I might reach my first orgasm."p-please, Stefano," my voice sounds utterly foreign to my ears."What do you want, Cara Mia?""You... inside me.""All in good time" I can't help but groan in protest; the bastard

"LOVE IS NOT ALL"I stir under the covers, the urgent need to relieve my bladder has taken me out of my sleep, but no matter how hard I try to get up, Stefano's leg and arm weight prevent me from doing so. He's stuck to me like ivy to a wall."Move, or I'll pee," I mumble; all my attempts are in vain; this man is heavier than a bag of potatoes, "Stefano, please," I shake him harder, he wakes up a bit confused, I use the moment and get up quickly to use the bathroom."Ah!" I sigh as I feel the relief. After I finish, I go back to the room to find my clothes."What are you doing," he asks, still a little sleepy."I'm looking for my clothes, isn't it obvious?""Why? You don't need them; come back to bed," he says, patting the side where I was lying until a few moments ago."I would love to go back to bed and get lost in your body...""Why don't you?""Two days.""What?" he asks, confused."Two days, we have been her

"URGENT THERAPY"A terrible headache plagues me, my throat feels parched, and my stomach is a little upset. Regretfully I leave Stefano's warm arms to look for a painkiller."I shouldn't have had so much wine at dinner," I admonish myself as I make my way to the kitchen.Last night somehow, he convinced me to go to a trattoria that he loves to go to because, according to him, they prepare real home-cooked Italian food, and I'll grant him that he's right. The food was exquisite, better than any Michelin star restaurant; we drank the whole bottle between chatting and laughing. Unfortunately, I have always been weak in liquor; my limit is two glasses.I continue rummaging through the cabinets until I finally find the Tylenol bottle; immediately, I take two capsules along with a large glass of water and go back to the room."Where were you?" he asks in a sleepy voice as he senses me getting under the covers."I went to take some medicine f

"WHAT NOW?"After "getting myself cleaned up a bit," I peek out the door to see if the surroundings are clear, but I wouldn't go out there and not even in the state I'm in. Now, what do I do? think fast, Christie Swan! I immediately go to Stefano's desk and start looking for the stapler in the drawers."Here it is," I say once I find it, straighten my blouse and start to staple it shut."You're not going out this way, are you?""Well, I have no choice; suddenly, the caveman in you woke up and destroyed my blouse. Look, it's torn right here.""I'm sorry.""When I get to my office, I'll tell Alena to go to the nearest store and buy me another one.""At least it covers me." I walk up to the door that connects his office to the boardroom, and he grabs my hand before I can even open it."Where are you going" He turns me around and positions me in front of him."To my office.""Why? We have some unfinished business," he sli

"BURSTING THE LITTLE BALLON OF HAPPINESS""Christie, Christie, are you listening to me?" Dr. Miller's words snap me out of my reverie."No, I'm sorry, doctor, I wasn't paying attention.""It's understandable; you're still in shock. Your blood work shows you have low hemoglobin, nothing to be alarmed about; it will quickly return to its average level with a healthy diet and vitamins. However, we must follow up and make sure it goes up not to affect your pregnancy.""It-it's ok.""Here are the prescription and indications. Don't forget to make an appointment with your gynecologist.""Yes, don't worry. I'll have my assistant call the office.""Thank you."I leave the doctor's office still stunned by the news. How the hell am I going to drop such a bomb on Stefano? Especially now that he's got so many problems on his plate with the recent move of his kids, not to mention that one of them hates me."Hey Chris, everything ok?" a

"PAPA BEAR"Baby, this is what you came for Lightning strikes every time she moves.And everybody's watching herBut she's looking at you, ooh, ooh You, ooh, ooh, you, ooh, ooh…I stir under my covers, trying to ignore the music announcing an incoming call; my efforts are in vain; the damn song plays over and over again. Annoyed, I reach out for my cell phone, ready to find out who has dared to disturb my sleep."Mmm?" I answer with no desire to utter a word."Good morning, cara mia. I want to inform you that I am currently entering your building. Are you ready?" what the hell? I move the offensive device away from my ear to check the time, showing 7:00 am."Stefano, it's seven o'clock in the morning, the appointment is at ten o'clock, what the hell are you doing here so early? Suddenly the call finished. That's a sign he boarded t

"PROBLEMS" PART 1"Oh, so you've decided to be noticed," I say as I inspect the bulge in my belly; I swear it wasn't there before. Until last night I had a flat stomach and a great behind."I think you ran out of room, buddy" I gently run my hand down the length of the bulging area. I can't believe I'm already four months old. It seems like yesterday when I found out I would be a mother.I take the clothes on my bed, and I almost go into shock when I notice the bra is too small, to the point that my breasts practically come out, my pants don't close, and my blouse doesn't fit; when did all this happen? Until yesterday everything fit me perfectly.I guess I will leave the office early to shop for some clothes. I continue trying on one outfit after another until I find a summer dress that, luckily, I can wear with a blazer over it. Alena will enjoy this very much, she loves shopping, especially with other people's money.This w
