ARIANA
Enzo had been waiting for me to answer the question he had asked me. He was not a very patient man. I knew that. But with me, he had been trying to be patient. It was a huge turn on in a way I couldn't explain. The offer was tempting. And I wanted to spend some alone time with him. But I was also worried about Marian. We had her after so many hurdles and hardships that we came across.
After everything I had been through and how I had lost my first baby, I never wanted to leave Marian alone while he would take me away. Even if it was for only two days, I was terrified of the idea of losing my baby girl. “I don't know! Marian is too small. She is barely a month old. How can I leave her? Even if it's two days, I can't just leave her.” I finally replied to his question after thinking about it thoroughly.
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get past the fact that I would be leaving my baby behind. And I didn't want that. Not that I was afraid of him, but I was looking at him for any signs of anger. To my surprise, he was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. Something I was definitely not expecting from him when I had refused to listen to his suggestion.
“I know that you are worried. But she is not going to be alone. We will leave Marian under Gloria's care. Ronny will always be here to keep a sharp eye on her. And I will ask Monty and Suzie to come here. You know how much Marian enjoys her time with Marcell.” I gulped hard as it felt like he was giving my daughter to others while he wanted to play a couple with me.
“And how will you expect Gloria to feed Marian. She only has breast milk. You know, formulas don't suit Marian.” I tried to argue again. I wanted to go but at the same time, I didn't want to go. I knew they were my hormones, playing me dirty. And the more I was trying to fight it, the more they were making me speak nonsense.
Despite all kinds of tantrums I had been throwing at him, Enzo was calm and was still trying to make things better. “Well, we bought the pump and sealed bags for a reason. You can pump and freeze the mill for Marian for two days. I swear we will be back within forty eight hours.” He added further. At this point, I was out of the points to argue with him.
“Fine! I will go. But we will come back at once if anything goes south with Marian. Even if she sneezes. And I don't want to go to Paris. I hate that city.” I finally agreed to his plan but on my own terms. And to my surprise, he agreed to all of my conditions.
