That was at the same time happy and shocking because I don’t know if Laurencio wants to be a father and what if he’ll kick me out of here and from my job? I needed to clear my mind so I throw the test in the trash and go back to reading. Ambra looks up at me curious „What did you do in the bathroom?” I chuckle „What a normal person does, Ambra.” She nods and after some hours Laurencio came back from work. I dragged him in the kitchen after he greeted Ambra and gave her a cookie jar. He looks at me curious and worried at the same time „What happened, Lexi?” I smile as I hold his hand „I want to tell you something…” He nods „Yeah, of course. What is it?” I look down then back at him „I wanted to say that I love you.” I peck my lips on his shortly then he looks at me confused „You’re sure it’s nothing else?” I nod „Nothing else. Just this.” He smiles and kisses my forehead „I love you too, babe.” I smile as we go back to Ambra. Why I didn’t tell him all what happened earlier? Because I have another plan. I will leave back to the city where I was born and keep contact with Sabrina, but not with Laurencio and Ambra. I feel guilty for this, but I don’t want to ruin Laurencio’s career. Ambra and his career seem more important than everything. My thoughts snap as someone calls me „Lexi.” I look at Laurencio as he was standing in the door frame „What’s wrong? You’re never so lost in your thoughts.” I shake my head „Work. Even on my free day.” He sighs and sits beside me „You don’t have to exhaust yourself. Go get some sleep.” I nod and he remains with Ambra as I go upstairs and think a little bit on how to pack my things without him noticing so I call him and he comes within minutes. He sits beside me and takes my hand in his „Can you go take me some snacks?” He nods „What do you want me to buy?” I think a little bit „How about some homemade yogurt with fruits?” He nods and leaves the room. I start packing my stuff as Ambra walks in „What are you doing here, Lexi?” I turn around at her a bit sad „I’m leaving…” She shakes her head as her eyes blow with tears „Why Lexi! You’re leaving me too!” I shake my head „We’ll keep contact, Ambra… It’s just that I can’t stay here anymore. I’m going to your auntie’s house and I’ll be there, okay?” She nods and helps me pack. Half an hour later I sneak out leaving a letter for Laurencio and call Sabrina. After a few rings she answers „Hey… Can you come pick me up from Laurencio’s?” She hums and we „But Dominic will pick you up, I’m cooking so I can’t leave the food on the stove.” I agree and then we hang up. After a few minutes Dominic, her boyfriend, took me to their house and Sabrina was a bit worried and confused on my purpose to be there „Did you fight?” I shake my head „No… I have my reasons to do this… I think that it’s better.” She nods and hugs me „Wait… You ghosted Laurencio!?” I shake my head „I left a letter… Ambra knows about this and she understood why I did this. She promised me to not tell him.” She nods understanding and then the three of us go to eat. I clean my throat as the food was having the worst smell I’ve ever smelled in my life. Sabrina looks at me confused „What’s up?” I cover my nose „I can’t stand this.” I leave the kitchen and sit on the couch taking deep breaths. She sits beside me even more worried „Alexis, are you okay?” I nod „Pregnancy stuff.” She gasps and claps her hands happily „Congrats, bestieee! I’m so happy for… You…” She freezes „That’s why you left… Didn’t you?” I nod and hug her tight as my eyes give up and I start crying. She hugs me back „It’s okay, Lexi. Take it easy.” I nod and wipe my tears „I’m so sorry.” She shakes her head a bit hurt „No, no. It’s okay.” I nod then look up at her „I know I shouldn’t do this…” She keep comforting me then I fell asleep because of how much I’ve cried.
Four years later, I was with my boys Aaron Warner and Noah Gabriel, also with Sabrina and Dominic on the beach having a good day. Me and the boys watched the two lovebirds as they were dancing in the mesmerizing sunset until Dominic kneels down in front of his girlfriend „Sabrina my dear, my girlfriend, my friend, my everything, I wanted to give you the world, but I know you don’t need it. Simple things make you smile and I wanted this to be simple, but it turns out it is as perfect as you are. I want your to stay by my side forever and maybe have a little family. Maybe I made mistakes in the past and I don’t say I won’t in the future, but I hope you’ll understand me and love me as much as you did till now because I’ll love you as from the first day I’ve laid eyes on you, my love.” He chuckles and Sabrina’s eyes let a tear escape „And now the question you waited for… Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?” She nods happily as she said „Yes! One million times yes!” He nervously puts the ring on her finger then they have a little kiss. He was indeed right, it was perfect. This was so beautiful because I actually thought they will never do this, but turns out I was wrong. We get back home after some more time spent on the beach and I look at the newly engaged couple „When will you do the wedding?” Dominic smiles as Sabrina chuckles „Next month.” He simply says and we both look at him confused „Uh, really?” Sabrina whispers and he nods „We should get married faster so the baby will be born in our little family.” I sit there in confusion and shock at the same time as Sabrina chuckles „Yeah, you’re right.” I smile at them „So you’re finally having your little family, isn’t it?” Then nod and I speak again „I will be moving out untill next month so I won’t be a burden around here.” And Sabrina shakes her head „No, Lexi. You can stay here as long as you want. We don’t have a problem with it.” I nod looking down a bit guilty „I don’t want to be in plus with the boys and so on.” She totally disagrees with me like I’ve said I will kill myself. That month passed and we were finally at the wedding party. I was wearing a mint green slim dress as the boys were wearing matching black suits. Sabrina was so beautiful wearing her wedding dress. It was a big white voluminous dress. Sabrina and Dominic were doing their bride dance as everyone else was invited, to dance but I sat down because I have no one to dance with. I look at everyone who was dancing as a shadow hoovers over me. I look up to see Laurencio smiling as his hand was stretched out „May I?” He asks as I smile back and nod as he takes me to the dance floor. We dance a slow waltz and it was like no one was around us. Just the two of us and the music. His eyes were so beautiful and his face gave me the warmest and understanding look I’ve ever seen in my life. I kept getting lost in Laurencio’s eyes as something pulls my dress down so I stop and look down to see Aaron. I pick him up and kiss his cheek „What happened?” He giggles and looks at Laurencio „He looks like Noah!” I look at Laurencio as he was still smiling „I’m not Noah, but you two are a copy of me.” Aaron looks ar him confused as Noah walks to us „Mommy, who’s that?” I remain there speechless because I never told them about Laurencio and this is a bit shocking for all of us. Laurencio takes the boys holding them like babies and we go to a quieter place. I look at the three of them a bit guilty „Kids, this is your father… Laurencio, Aaron and Noah are your kids.” They look at each other and the boys wave at him smiling as he looks at me shocked „M-My kids?” I nod and look down „I know I should’ve not hide them from you, but I thought it would get in your relationship with Ambra and destroy it as it would’ve done with your career.” He shakes his head and hugs the boys at his chest as they hug him back „Lexi, our kids will never get in the way. Our kids are my priority. How do you think you got that place into the book shop? How do you think you’re getting such a big salary each month? Because I knew about this all the time.” I look at him shocked because I thought Ambra will keep it a secret… Or… Sabrina told him for sure, because I never told Ambra about my work. I frown at him „Then why didn’t you call me or something?” He chuckles „Because I didn’t want you to feel guilty for it, yet you’re so guilty like you could marry me right now so the boys would have a normal life.” I gasp in shock because I only told Sabrina about that. I calm down and finally talk after moment of silence „Okay and do you want to do that?” He nods and looks down at our sleeping babies „For them and for us, Lexi. I love you and I missed you a lot. I was there looking at how you wanted the same.” I look at him a little bit confused „On the beach. One month ago.” I blush a little bit because he was right. I indeed wanted such a proposal. He blows in my face and I look at him a bit annoyed „What?” He chuckles „I wanted to get you attention, but my hands are full so I used something else.” I cross my arms „Give me the boys and you can go back. He shakes his head and takes me and the boys to his car „I’ll put them in the backseat, you go sit in the front.” I nod and sit down in the passenger’s seat, but wait… We were at Sabrina and Dominic’s wedding. Why are we leaving and also without Ambra?! I look at Laurencio confused „Why are we leaving and where’s Ambra?” He chuckles „Yeah, right.” And he goes back inside. Few minutes later him and Ambra walk out then she walks in the car and I wave at her „Hey, baby.” She smiles and waves back „Are they asleep?” She whispers and I nod „I told nothing to uncle Laurio. Auntie Sabrina did.” I nod and take her hand in mine „It’s okay.” Laurencio gets in and we go back to his mansion. It was bigger and it looked more bossy. We get in as I hold Ambra’s hand and he takes the boys upstairs. I hug Ambra and she hugs me back „I missed you, Lexi.” I nod „I missed you too, baby.” She goes after a few more minutes to sleep as well. Laurencio walks back downstairs as we settle on the couch and I was all guilty and worried about what he’s going to say so I kept a moment of silence then looked up at him „Look, I know it’s all my fault and I know I should’ve not hide the kids from you… I-I don-” I get cut of by his lips pressed on mine. It took me a moment to realize, but I melted in the moment letting time fly away with this. We break apart after some moments, but I wanted more. I missed him too much to let go so I didn’t want for anything else as I jumped right in. He didn’t refuse me so we took the chance and had a good night. The next day I wake up in Laurencio’s bedroom as we were cuddling. His body was all over me not wanting to let me go so I had nothing else to do that play with his hair and think about our future. How we will get back together and the boys will be happy and excited about this. I kiss his forehead as he yawns and looks up at me with a smile plastered on his face „Morning.” His deep voice sent chills down my spine, wonderful. He takes my hand and kisses it „It was perfect. More than perfect.” I giggle and we have a small kiss „I know I should’ve not hide the kids from you, but you know… I thought they’ll get in your life…” He shakes his head „Our family is the most important thing for me. The boys, Ambra and you.” I smile nodding because he really wants to get back together so I whisper „Are we getting back together?” He chuckles „More than that.” He stands up then takes a little box in his hand smiling „Maybe it’s not the best, but I will try my best for this.” He opens the box. I gasp as I see the most beautiful ring I’ve ever seen in my life. He chuckles „Alexis Ventra. You’re the one who stole my heart and blew my minds away as no one else did. I know everything has an end, but us, we’re beyond infinity. I smiled truly again when I first laid eyes on you and I can’t live without you. I love you and you love me too. I know I did mistakes, but no one is perfect. I want to try my best and have a good marriage with you. I want us to have our little family together and not only.” A tear slips on my cheek because of the happiness and emotion between us. He takes my hand in his and kisses it „And I have one question… Will you marry me?” I nod and start crying out of happiness. He puts the diamond silver engagement ring on my finger and we hug as I keep crying. This was the one of the best days in my life and I know I’ll never regret this.
-THE END-
