Vengo gulped in reply."We needed a gynecologist so I don't see a problem with Audrey doing that. It's not like they're going to start asking questions. She went there because she was pregnant, not because she was. was shot. Nothing suspicious."Everyone was excited about it, except for Michel and Fanny who kept quiet."So in six months, we'll have a baby in the house. God, we need more recruits to protect this place." Carlos added as he took a large sip of his drink.Audrey rolled her eyes."Can we please be happy and not talk about things like that for once? I want to go shopping and prepare a nursery. Gwen, Fanny, let's do it."Fanny looked at her in surprise.Shopping? She wondered how that would work when she wasn't allowed out.However, she didn't get a chance to ask as Gwen immediately cut in."Oh, that's right. Hey, I want to give the baby a bath too?""That's right. Yes. Wait, when do we need to do that?"Gwen shrugged, reaching across the table for another fruit."Before the

As soon as these words were out of his mouth, he immediately regretted it when he turned to see her even more defeated expression."Sorry, Short Legs, I didn't mean it..."Fanny shook her head."It's okay. Anyway, love is far from what's happening between us." She mumbled a little in the end, not really annoyed with Andy.She knows he doesn't mean any harm by not communicating every detail of Michel's life to her, and honestly, she can understand why he thinks so about his mafia brother.The two said nothing for a minute before Andy pulled out a pack of cigarettes, holding one out to her as a peace offer.Fanny shook her head again, this time politely refusing."So what's really going on between you two?" He asked while sticking a cigarette between his lips, and lighting it up.She sighed deeply before answering."Honestly, I have no clue..." She imitated him and picked up a few pebbles and threw them into the pond."I have a feeling for him but it's all so messy, you know?"Andy nodd

Since then, Audrey has insisted on doing her hair and makeup, momentarily just adding finishing touches."Now...we need a nice outfit. I mean you're already wearing what I've put in your closet, but I think you need something more tonight."Audrey suddenly dropped the mascara tube on her dressing table to quickly turn around and disappear somewhere in an interconnected room."Audrey?" Fanny rose from her seat at the dressing table and followed the girl into a large walk-in closet to find Audrey in her evening gown."How about this one?" Audrey held up a revealing off-the-shoulder black dress with a dark red chain.Fanny's eyes widened and she shook her head immediately."No... Audrey... I... I can't wear something like that...""Why not?" Audrey tilted her head to the side, looking confused as if she really couldn't understand why Fanny couldn't see her in something as fancy as this dress.Struggling at a loss for words, Fanny tries to explain her stance, hoping that she won't come ac

She wanted to say something, but she really didn't know what."Michel, I..."He shook his head, which immediately brought her to a halt because the look on his face showed that he was still confused about the whole situation.So instead of talking about what just happened, he just gently placed a hand on her small back and led her toward one of his couches, making her sit down and do the same thing right next to her.They sat across from each other, saying nothing for a moment as Michel just took her little hand in his, stroking his thumb over her knuckles.When she looked up at him and he looked at her too, they ended up just leaning in, joining their lips once more, melting into the kiss.They don't want to face reality yet.Michel is particularly reluctant to discuss what all this means to him, how this will affect his life, and, of course, hers.And so is Fanny.At that moment, she refused to let anything take over the feeling that his lips on hers were bringing her happiness.Her

And what's even more amazing is that she just doesn't seem to understand it.He put his hand on her shoulder."Let's not worry about it right now. Just understand that this is a one-time thing."Michel doesn't miss her grimace of disappointment and it soothes him, even a little, to know she wants to be with him, too."But we have tonight, and right now there's something that I need to do."Fanny's insides became loose as Michel's eyes grew hot and fell to her lips."What would that be?" She managed, barely getting her chords to work.His hand lifted her face and held her tight."You need to kiss me so hard and so long that if someone dares to touch you... All you can think about is..."Michel's head bowed and Fanny closed her eyes as her whole world focused on him.A thousand butterflies flew in her stomach as his kiss swallowed her.He didn't start slow, and this time he didn't try to ease her into the kiss.His lips forced her open, his tongue thrusting in and taking over her mouth
