100 Days With Mr Romero

“How about we play twenty questions,” I said as I laid my head on his shoulders, playing with his chest hairs.

“What are we, teenagers?” He chuckled, I smiled at the vibrations that rumbled in his chest.

“Come on, it wouldn’t kill. We barely know anything about the other and we plan on getting married next week.”

“I know some things about you.”

I looked up at him. “Really?” I moved from him and rested my elbows on the bed, using my palm to support my chin as I stared down at him. “What’s my favorite color?”

“Pink?”

“No,” I nudged him gently with a little laugh. “Why do men think all women like pink, my favourite colour is blue.”

“That’s close.”

“No, it’s not.” I shook my head and laid back on his chest. “What’s your favourite color?” I asked.

“Black,” he said simply. “But not because I’m trying to be mysterious, or give of a certain kinda vibe, but because I truly like the color.”

“I think black suits you.” I gave a small yawn. I liked this position, just Gideon and I in bed, it felt really nice. For some reason I imagined putting my kid to bed or dropping him at a friend’s house, then coming back to lay with Gideon like this. “I like strawberries, and watermelons,” I said sleepily.

He chuckled. “OK? They are good fruits I guess.”

“Have you thought of names yet?”

“Names?”

“For our child, do you have any name in mind?”

He kept quiet for awhile. “How about… Eh, oh, there are lot of options, I don’t know, how about we decided when he comes.”

“He?”

“Well, it’s going to be a boy, don’t you think so?”

“No no, I’m the mother, I’m the one carrying the child, I’m sure it’s a girl.”

“You want a girl?”

“Yes.”

“Fine, then we better start working on another child.” He rolled over, suddenly over me. My eyes widened when I started down to see his monster rod hitting my lower abdomen.

“No! Get away from me you monster.” I hit at his chest playfully as he attack my neck, his hand quick to grab my breast.

“But I want to give you a girl,” he said in-between kisses.

“That’s not how pregnancy works-” My words were covered with a moan when a wet finger slipped into me. “You’re evil.”

After rounds of the most satisfying sex, Gideon had to go, Ciara was coming over with a tailor for the wedding gown fitting. She arrived an hour after Gideon was gone, luckily I was already clothed and not still lying naked in bed.

“Good afternoon,” The elderly woman greeted as we shook hands. “You must be Sophia, the soon to be bride. I am Naomi.”

“Yes, but it’s actually Emma or Emily, not Sophia.”

“Oh, I’m sorry,” she apologized. “I was told Sophia,” she said glancing at Ciara, who was quick to give an innocent smile.

“Oh, forgive me.” she shrugged. “I seem to be mixing up names a lot, Sophia was Gideon’s ex, yunno, before you came.”

“Oh, well, please do remember that I’m Emily, not Sophia and unlike Sophia I am not going to be an ‘ex’, I’m going to become his wife and the mother of his child.” She seemed taken aback by the firmness in my tone, that made me smile, it was best she knew I was letting any of her stupid antics get to me again. “Also, how is you boyfriend, what’s his name, Thomas? Timothy? Forgive me for not remembering, since you don’t seem to remember things clearly yourself.”

“His name is Thomas, and he’s fine,” she replied with a hard voice. “Is Gideon home?”

“No, my fiancé went to work,” I said with a smirk, purposely calling Gideon my fiancé just to piss her off. “He will be back late in the evening.” I turned back to the lady who was standing awkwardly at the side. “Let’s go to the living room, I can’t wait to see what you have planned for me.”

I was actually supposed to go to the shop for the fitting, but Gideon didn’t want me to, said he didn’t want to put me under stress, but I suspected that it was because he didn’t want me and Stephan in the same car, he didn’t fire him, but had warned me to stay clear away from me.

Lily arrived few minutes later, I had called her to come over, there is no one I wanted beside me at this moment than my best friend, only she would say the truth about the gown.

“Lily!” I hugged her excitedly. “Thank God you’re here,” I whispered into her ears before I pulled back. “This is my best friend,” I said to Ciara and Naomi.

“Oh, I didn’t know someone was going to be joining us,” Ciara said.

“Why? Do you have a problem with my here?” Lily asked.

“No I don’t.”

“Good,” Lily said. “Now,” She turned to me. “Are you going to go try out dresses or stare at me all day.”

At the end, we finally settled on a dress, it was a cream coloured gown, long sleeves, it had a turtle neck, with a small opening by the chest which showed my cleavage a little bit, the chest part was time holding my breast firmly, but the rest was lose, the front came down stopping just above my knees to showoff my legs, while the back was long enough to touch the floor.

“This is the one Emma,” Lily said excitedly, clapping her hands. “Oh, that day you are going to slay like the hoe you are.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Shut up Lily.” I laughed. Only Lily was allowed to call me a hoe, any other person and I would smack them right across the cheeks. “Well,” I turned to look at myself in the mirror. “What do you think Naomi?”

“It’s perfect,” She said. Ciara who hasn’t said one word just nodded her head in agreement.

“Well then, this is going to be it, my wedding gown.”

“Yay, now let’s pop some champagne. Where does Gideon keep the expensive wines?”

“Lily, I can’t drink wine, remember?”

“Who said it was for you?”

After the fitting and Ciara and Naomi had left, Lily and I decided to go to a restaurant down the street to receive from fresh air and catch up. “So, tell me everything, what’s been going on in your life?” I asked Lily, I feel really guilty because we haven’t sat down to have a full four hours chat, mostly because I’ve been to lazy to get up, or Gideon has me trapped between his legs, not like I was complaining though.

“Nothing much, just that cute guy asked me out,” she said with a smirk.

“Cute guy?” I was lost. “Who? Did you meet someone?”

She sighed and palmed her head. “You forget too much Emily. Remember that guy we met at the restaurant the other day, the one who served us coffee?”

“The one with the nice ass? Oh, tell me everything. When did this happen, why are you just telling me?”

“Calm down girl, it’s not been so long. But the other day, while you were busy with Gideon, I decided to go check out this new club that opened down the street and I saw him there.”

“Go on, don’t stop, tell me everything!”

“OK, so I was dancing with this girl right, we were both drunk and wasted, then I got tired and decided to go grab a drink at the bar and there he was.”

“He works at the bar also?”

“Yeah, he says he works there part time. Anyways we talked for hours, his name is Damon, he’s in his last year in college studying Law and he just does random work to pay off his rent. So you should have seen him at the bar, there was nothing cute about him, just sexy, like raw sex in human flesh.”

“OK, calm down tiger. You guys didn’t do it right?” I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually did it, Lily could get really freaky when she was in those kind of mood, I’m just surprised she didn’t jump the poor guy.

She let out a huge sigh. “I wish Emma, I fucking wish. But no, we haven’t even shared one single kiss, we just flirted for hours, he’s such a tease. You should have seen me, I was practically begging for him to have me, but no, he acts completely oblivious, he’s a complete tease Emily.”

I doubled over laughing at the look on Lily’s face. She was the professional tease, I’ve seen her twist guys around her fingers and now she had found herself in the same pot she had thrown other guys in. “When last did you get laid.”

“It’s been a really long time OK, and you know, I don’t really fancy sleeping around, but this is one guy I will bend over for everyday.”

“OK, hold on. Last time I checked you just found him cute, now you want to bend over for him?”

“You wouldn’t understand Emily, you’ve got Gideon’s dick to satisfy you, you would be desperate if you were in my shoes.”

“This Damon looks like your match, you guys are a perfect fit. So, how did he ask for your number.”

“Well, I got tired of waiting and I told him straight up, ‘Ask for my number.’ and he did.”

“Nooooo girl!” I covered my face having secondhand embarrassment for Lily. “Are you that desperate?”

“Yes and I’m not shy to say it. Anyways, enough of me. How’s your relationship with Gideon going?”

“It’s going well…”

“Spill, what’s going on?”

“It’s just I’ve been thinking, trying to understand what I really feel for him and I think I might have truly fallen for him?”

“Durrh!” She rolled her eyes. “Did you just realise that now?” Lily scoffed. “Girl, I can already tell you’re in love with him, are you so oblivious, even to your own feelings??

“What? What are you saying?”

“Oh, You should see the way your eyes light up whenever he’s around, somehow you always find a way to bring him up in every conversation we have, the other day I was talking about my Father’s birthday coming up and somehow you managed to bring Gideon up, till now I don’t see how finding a gift for my father relates to Gideon’s dick.

“Sorry.” I felt my cheeks heating up. “I didn’t know I talked about him that much.”

“See what I’m saying,” she chuckled. “It’s nothing to apologize for darling, you should see how your skin is glowing from the good sex, he makes you happy and that’s all that matters.”

“He does make my happy,” I agreed. “But-”

“But what?”

“I don’t know how he truly feels about me. I mean, I know he cares about me, but what about love. I know this marriage is mainly for our unborn child, but now I wish it was something more. I want to hear him say he loves me and not just because of our child, maybe because he truly does.”

She gave a small smile. “I think he does already Emily. Probably scared too say it because he’s afraid of how you may react just like you, if love him, but you can’t tell him that right?” I nodded my head. “Just give him time, he will soon come forward with his true feelings.”

Lily was right. Here I was even afraid to admit how I really feel to myself, I decided I wasn’t going to try to push Gideon or get impatient trying to get him to open up. We had time, when he’s ready, he would tell me. I decided to change the subject. “Anyways, so you were telling me about Damon? When’s the date coming up? Do we need to go get a dress?”

“Well, it’s this Friday, and no I don’t need a dress, we’re going to a shooting range,” She said with a smirk on her face.

“Oh wow.”

“After that, I pray he invites me to his apartment for a cup of coffee, from there, who knows, someone might be getting laid.”

“Lily, don’t you want to take your time to know who this guy really is, or do you want to end up pregnant like me?”

She leaned forward and flicked my forehead. “I won’t get pregnant, I’ve got the pills. Besides, he’s really nice OK, I haven’t known him for so long, but ever since then we’ve been talking on the phone for so long and he’s really nice.”

“Do you like him?”

She shrugged. “Maybe, I don’t know, I think I do, not sure yet. But enough about me, let’s talk about your wedding. So, I’m going to be your maid of honor no doubt about that, we just need to get-” I drank my ice tea, watching Lily as she ranted.
