Morning Sunset - Daniela D. I. (novels to read .TXT) 📗

I was so angry with Amanda that she reminded me that I had forgotten long ago. I could not believe that she told me this, especially now, when I was with André. Why is so necessary to remind someone about something that has long passed and what should remain in the past? "And what if André could accidentally hear about it?" I thought, imagining his reaction. He will not forgive me, and if he will, he, for sure, will want me not to communicate with Lucas anymore.
"... And if Lucas finds out about this?" - it dawned on me with horror and somehow I was afraid of his reaction more than the reaction of André. "I wonder what he would say, knowing this," I thought, wishing just for a moment to tell him everything.
"No! - my inner voice said - He didn't know this then, and especially, he's not going to know about it now. "

I barely managed to drive away all the memories, thoughts and assumptions and to plunge into work, but when I did it, I forgot about everything. I calmed down and by the evening I was almost not mad at Amanda. So, when Amanda offered to take me home, I agreed without hesitation.
For a few minutes, we rode in silence, after which Amanda said softly,
- I'm sorry. I didn't want to tell you this, but it burst out itself somehow.
I looked at her guilty face,
- Okay, let's forget everything. I don't know why I reacted so strongly to your words - I said.
- I promise that I won't remind you about it anymore- she said.
- Just like today? - I smiled. Amanda didn't say anything at my words but she just smiled in response.
- I want to ask you about something - she suddenly said - I want to ask you to go with me to the doctor.
Hearing this, I looked at her surprised.
- I think - she said - that I'm ... pregnant.
- Seriously? This is just great! ... Wait... You think?
- I took a couple of pregnancy tests, but they are negative...
- Then why do you think that you're pregnant?
- I just feel it ... and I have pregnancy symptoms. I want to go to the doctor to know for sure.
- Okay then, I'll go with you. And, does John know about it?
- No, I don't want to tell him until I'm sure. What if I'm not pregnant and I'll just give him a hope for it. You know how he wants children... I have an appointment with the doctor next week.
- Well, then we'll wait till next week - I said, still remaining surprised by the news and by this possibility, because if it was true, then their life was going to change completely. They will become parents and they will definitively grow up, and our life, probably will change, too. We'll all be aunts and uncles, and we’ll help to rise the next generation.

With this positive thought and in a good mood, I opened the door to the apartment, but instead of entering the apartment, I froze in the doorway. The light in the apartment was turned off, but instead, in the living room were flaming lots of candles, which were spreading a gentle and pleasant aroma. In the center of the living room was standing a table which was beautifully set and on which were standing two long candles and between them was set a small bouquet of flowers.

Moving away from the shock, I entered the apartment and went to the table, enjoying a romantic atmosphere. I leaned over to inhale the fragrance of flowers and when I got up, I saw that André was standing in front of me, as if he has just appeared out of thin air.
- Surprise - he said when our eyes met and it was nothing that I could say at that moment. I had no words, I had just emotions. I began smiling, my eyes were filled with tears of happiness, and I was feeling like a kid on Christmas.
- Won't you say anything? - André asked, noticing that I haven't said a word, yet. Instead say something, my legs took me to him, and my hands embraced him,
- Thank you - I whispered.
André took a step back from me, peered into my face and said in a soft voice,
- I know that this is not enough, that one romantic dinner is not enough to tell you how much I regret what happened in the past ...
- Don't ... - I tried to protest, but he immediately asked me,
-Emma, don't interrupt me, please. I want to tell you this - I nodded that I will be silent, and then he continued,
- I know that I caused you a lot of pain, I know that is impossible to forget it, but I'll do my best to make amends and I'll make sure, that in your memory will remain only good memories of us. Now, I want to promise you that we'll have a bright future and I'll never - he took my face in his hands - do you hear, I will never fail you again. I'll always be there for you, when you'll need me...
His words took my breath away. It was so important for me to hear them from him, to be sure that everything will be fine, that we won't be apart anymore. I pressed my finger against his soft lips,
- Don't say anything more. That's all I wanted to hear from you.
He leaned toward me to kiss me and the next moment I felt the taste of his kiss, which was tender and passionate at the same time. One hand of André grabbed me by the waist and the other fell into my hair, but still it seemed to me that he was too far away from me, that he didn't hug me so tight as I would like. Perhaps, he also felt the distance between us, because the next moment, his hand, which was in my hair, slid down my back and met with his second hand on my waist and at that moment he pulled me to him.
He picked me up, took a couple of steps to the bedroom and suddenly stopped,
- Maybe, you're hungry? - He asked with a smile and in response I shook my head.
- Well, thank God, cause I was afraid ... - but he didn't finish, since I covered his mouth with a kiss and he already didn't waste a minute...
