Lies

I wake up tired,go to the bathroom,do my morning routine and then go to the kitchen,but when I pass by the living room I see Matew lying on my couch,I smile,go back to how much,get a sheet and cover him up,then go make us a strong and healthy breakfast,since I needed healthy things,not only because of the baby,but because I ate too much junk food after the big disappointment in love.

I warmed the milk,sweetened it and drank it slowly,looked at the window and people were hurrying around,today was a rainy day and days like this were great to stay at home,eating and sleeping. Yeah, now I could do that all the time, since I had nothing else to do but nothing.

-Good morning.

He appears stretching and yawning,his disheveled hair made him even more attractive,much more in the case,Matew was not an ugly man,he was a very handsome crown,blond with blue eyes,white and with a cheerful air,but sometimes serious and rigid,of course,it depended a lot on the moment.

-Good morning.

-Is that better? -Yeah.

-I think so. -Did you sleep well on the couch?

-Too small for me, but it's good for one night and I can't wait to get home.

-I'm sorry I forced you to do this.

-Not to worry, I made myself do it and I'm not sorry, my reward is to see you happy.

-Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, I'm very grateful to you.

-Nothing. But let's eat, I have to leave soon.

-Will you wait for lunch?

-No, I have many things from the company to deal with, I dropped everything yesterday and not all things Abraham can handle.

-You really dropped everything to come?

-Of course.

He smiles and then eats, then goes home and I follow my new life almost monotonous.

Weeks went by and Matew always came to see us,but he was busy with work and it was real,they were boycotting his plans and he was trying to solve everything. I went to the appointments,took care of myself and did my best not to think about the old Hugo,but that was until a newspaper article appeared,saying that Matew had left his son Victor,a bastard,and for that he didn't give him any kind of assistance.

When I saw the picture of the two in the article,I understood the resemblance that I sometimes found in both of them,but for some reason I never made a point of putting them together. I remember Matew telling the stories of his life,telling the age of his children,talking about the care and attention he gave to his son out of wedlock,but even so he betrayed him.

There is a knock on the door scaring me and taking my focus away,I go to the door to open and there is Hugo or Victor.

-What do you want?

-I think you have seen the story and everything I did was not for evil, these things are part of me since I was rejected by my father, but I love you Helena.

-Go away!

-Listen to me, I can't live without you anymore, I love you so much.

-I don't believe your lies anymore Victor, go away.

-So you prefer my father, a disgusting old man, to me?

-He doesn't lie and doesn't deceive me, unlike you.

-Do you think he's sincere all the time?

-I'm sure.

-Did you know that he already knew about our involvement?

-Of course not, he...

-He knew everything, I imagine he told you our sad story, he talked about me, but he never told you that the man who slept with you every weekend was his son and married... he could have anticipated your suffering, he could have played fair with you, but he wanted to conquer something that I had.

-Get out of here,get out!!!! "I scream and beat your chest" ,you have already destroyed everything I had,you want to end up with more what?!!!!!.

-I want you back Helena and knowing that my father sleeps with you too,doesn't make me happy.

-Forget about me, go live a life of lies.

-Of all the women I've stayed with, you've been different. I think this sweet, caring, needy way, this kind of thing makes some men fall in love.

-Go away!

-I've given you the chance, come back with me or you'll see worse things I can do, it may take years, but you'll never live in peace and happiness, because I won't let you.

-If you don't leave now I will call the police!!!

-All right, it's on my schedule anyway.

He leaves and I lock the door, every hour problems, lies, deceit, I can't stand it anymore.

Days went by and Matew always called me,sent me a message or came to my house,but I didn't answer,I didn't want to have any contact with these men,it seems they are all the same,liars,cheaters of defenseless women.

One more appointment and I go,I do the same route and see the baby,the doctor gives me some advice and then I get out of there,when I get home Matew is in front of my door,so I get serious.

-Why don't you ever answer my phone?

He was angry, but he didn't touch me.

-I want you to get out of my life, I want all of you to disappear.

-What are you talking about? -We were doing fine and then out of the blue...

-And out of the blue your son came to visit me and told me that you always knew we were together.

-Helena, that's...

-Tell me it's a lie... if you say it, maybe I'll believe you.

-I always knew, after our meeting I've been researching you, I thought you were just another gold digger, but when you refused to go out with me and didn't want to kiss me, I understood that you were just a victim of this deceiver that is my son.

-You always knew I was the mistress without knowing it,you always knew he was using me,but you still never told me!!!!

-Tell me, Helena, would you believe me if I told you the whole truth?

I take a deep breath and wipe my tears, he was right, I couldn't believe it, I was so in love with the supposed Hugo, that I accepted everything under my eyes out of love for him, because I didn't want to walk away or break up.

That's it, you wouldn't believe me, I told you from the moment I found out, but I didn't want you to walk away from me or suffer like you are suffering now, I wanted to win you over so that you would leave him, stay with me and not go through all this, but not everything has gone the way I planned and wanted. He is boycotting my whole life, the subject was him, the ruins of my projects and saying these things to you, he wants to destroy me in every way

-I'm an idiot, stupid.

I curse and cry, then he hugs me lovingly, then holds my face, wipes it clean and kisses my forehead.

-I know that this is not yet the time to ask you to accept my help, but if you happen to want and decide of your own free will to stay with me, just know that I can't wait for that, that I want you more than anything in this life, and that I will never get the wrong impression of you. I will help you even if you don't want to, but you would be happier if you were by my side, and I could take better care of you.

-I...

-Don't answer anything now, just think, that's all. Come, you have to eat something and I brought you tasty and healthy food from your favorite restaurant.

-You don't know what my favorite restaurant is.

-Yes I do, I know a lot about you.

He smiles gently, grabs some bags from the car, and we head to my place, have lunch, and then spend most of the time stroking my head and belly, and I could easily get used to these cuddles.
