Love In Between
Chapter 94

2 days later: 12 June

Madrid, Spain

Coming back to reality is never a pleasant experience, especially when I’ve had such a great time with him in Barcelona. -Good morning,” I say to Ana, who smiles at me as I enter.

-Good morning Serena, how are you feeling? How is the pregnancy going? – she asks enthusiastically.

As if it were a reflex action, I put my hands on my abdomen and caress my babies, who are not very noticeable yet. “It’s going very well, so far my babies haven’t given me much trouble,” I explain and seeing how she opens her eyes wide makes me smile broadly.

-She exclaims in surprise and covers her mouth with her hands, “There are two of them? she asks me in amazement and without hesitation I nod.

-Yes Ana, there are two of them,” I explain nervously, “And you can’t imagine how scared I am. – I laughingly admit that I am forced to pause because I see him entering my company. -I thought it was clear that you were supposed to let me know in advance if you were coming. – I say rather angrily to Pedro who just looks at me sarcastically.

-If you had answered any of the calls I made to you, you’d know I’d be here today. – He rebuts and he’s right about that; he called me several times yesterday, but I decided not to answer for obvious reasons.

-Do you have all the material for the new products? I question, ignoring his comment.

He nods – That’s why I’m here; time is against us and we need to get this campaign ready for the launch. – He says in a professional enough tone for me to relax a little.

I avert my eyes and look at Ana, who clearly doesn’t know what to do in this situation-Ana, I’ll be with Pedro in my office. If you need me for anything, don’t hesitate to call me,” I explain.

-Of course Serena, you can count on it. – She answers kindly and I just smile at her and turn around to go to my office.

-Follow me if you want. – I tell Peter and just continue walking until I get to my office.

To my surprise, as I enter I find a beautiful arrangement of flowers on my desk and next to it is a small blue plush box. -Wow, but apparently your little boyfriend is a bit of a romantic. – He comments sarcastically and for my own good, I decide to ignore his stupid comment.

Once I remove the little card from the flower arrangement, I smile like a fool as I read the message he has written to me.

Thank you for making me happy every day and every night. I love you and I just hope you had one of the best birthdays of your life.

Gael.

Definitely couldn’t be more special… He kills me with every single detail.

I put the little card aside and open the little plush box. Inside is a little baby bracelet with a rectangular shaped space to engrave her name and a little piece of paper folded into the lid.

This year, I’ve decided to give something to your baby and not to you…. I hope you don’t get mad at me skinny and I also hope you had an amazing birthday.

Joel.

-Wow, but you have plenty of fans. – I hear him tell me, but to my luck Joel enters the office as the door was open.

-I hope I’m not disturbing you,” he says and I deny.

-Not at all, come here! – I tell him still excited about his present and I hug him ignoring Pedro’s presence. -Thank you, I loved it,” I say and pull away a little to look him in the eye, “The only thing is that you’ll have to find another one like it…” I say showing him the bracelet and his face is a poem at this moment.

I put the little card to one side and open the little box. Behind it there is a bangle-shaped bracelet with a rectangular shape to engrave your name on it and a folded paper cloth on the side of the lid.

This year, it was decided to give something to your baby and not to you… I hope you are not angry with me and I also hope you had a happy birthday with her.

Joal.

-Well, stop it if you have too many admirers. – The ascucho dacirma, paro for my suarta Joal antra to the office since the puarta astaba abiarta.

-I hope I’m not bothering you.

-Not at all! They go here! – I say to her, still in awe of her and I hug her, ignoring Padro’s presence. -Thank you, I loved it!” I squeeze her and pull her away a little to look into her eyes, “The only thing is, you’ll have to look for another one like it…” I say, showing her the bracelet and her face at that moment is a little bit shocked.

-What do you mean, another one like it,” she asks confused.

I smiled broadly -It’s not one, but two… they are twins. – I explain, placing my hands on my abdomen.

-Are you kidding me?” he asks between laughs and I deny.

-No… I know that maybe I shouldn’t tell you all this…” I try to say, but he brings his hand to my mouth and shuts me up.

-Shhh… I just want you to be happy, and I know you are very happy…” He tells me with such sincerity that it makes me emotional.

-Thank you,” I say, hugging him with all my strength. He puts his arms around me and before he lets me go, I take the opportunity to get close to his ear, “Please don’t leave me alone with him,” I ask him very quietly so that Pedro doesn’t hear us.

-I won’t, Ana told me he was here and that’s why I came…” He lets me know and we separate.

-Thanks again Joel… And since you’re here, come and stay with us and help us with the campaign,” I ask him in an attempt to dissimulate.

-He proposes and I know that Pedro doesn’t like this idea at all; his face gives it away, but I honestly don’t care what he wants….

-Your boyfriend doesn’t get jealous of the relationship you two have,” he asks as we settle around the small table I have in my office and both Joel and I laugh at his question.

-Gael knows very well what kind of relationship Serena and I have… things are very clear. – Joel explains making me smile -Now, stop meddling in matters that don’t concern you and let’s get to work, that’s why you’re here- he proposes and I must admit that his presence generates peace for me; a lot of peace…

-Let’s get to work. – I sentence with the idea of ending any kind of conversation about my relationship with Gael.
