Best Choice

Helena:

As soon as we got to the car, we saw the driver coming up to us.

"What happened, ma'am, what took you so long?

"Victor approached me, take us home, please, I don't think I'm very well."

"Yes, ma'am."

We went and got in the car, he started it and drove us to the mansion, as soon as we arrived we went to the house and the driver was coming with the bags.

"Daddy!"

Shouts Margô when we arrive in the living room and she sees Matew.

"Oie my love,how was the shopping?

"Good, but I prefer to go out with you, mommy almost doesn't like to walk and won't let me buy everything I want. - She pouted.

"Yeah,your mother is much older than she appears to be,she looks like she is 90 years old,in the body of a young 20-something." - He laughs.

"Thanks for being sweet to mommy,I love all your comments."

They laugh.

"Daddy,when are we going shopping again?"

"From the face mommy is making,it won't be anytime soon,but I promise to take you soon."

"I miss hanging out with you."

"Don't be that way,we're going out with Abraham and his little boy this weekend."

"That's nice. I have the perfect outfit for it. Hey daddy,will you come to my presentation with mommy?"

"Yes princess."

"Thank you daddy."

She kisses his cheek and he smiles happily.

"Let's put your things away Margô and then you can play or talk to Daddy."

"Yes ma'am."

We went to her room where her bags were already and put away all the clothes,there were many things there and even she was regretting having bought so many things.

"Mom, I'm tired, I want to play..."

"It's okay, you can go."

The same one kisses my face and I finish putting everything away,then I go to the bedroom,take a shower,put on some comfortable lingerie and put on body moisturizer.

"What a wonderful sight!"

Says Matew closing the door behind him and approaching me.

"What's up em, you came in and got quieter than anything, thoughtful." - He questions worriedly.

"Victor was at the mall,I don't know if he was following us,but he approached me when we were alone,he said he wanted to have more time with Margô."

"And what did you say?"

"No, that she already had a father and that she didn't want him around us anymore."

"I said I needed to have security guards, but you're too stubborn when you want to be." - He speaks angrily.

"I'm sorry,I know I should have accepted it,but I didn't think he would be crazy to come after me again...I realized that I don't know him well and I should always be careful."

"Does that mean you will accept the security guards?"

"Yes,for me,you and Margô,we can't trust anyone else,let alone relax."

"Stay calm my love,we will be fine,we will protect ourselves and take care of our daughter,he will not come near you anymore."

"Thank you."

"No thanks."

He kisses me and so we rested until dinner and then we went to eat.

Today was the day of the presentation and my daughter was a nervous wreck,every moment she looked at the wristwatch on my arm and then looked at the school entrance door.

"What is it my love?"

"Daddy's not here and I'm going to introduce myself soon."

Her eyes were watery and she was very sad,even if she held her crying/ tears well.

"Calm down my love,he must have hit traffic,but he will be here soon."

"What if he doesn't come?"

"He has never missed even one of your presentations,I don't believe he will miss today."

"Okay mom."

She leaves sadly and after long seconds Matew arrives,his leather jacket had a few droplets on it.

"Hi honey,sorry for the delay,has it started yet?"

"Oie love,it's ok,it hasn't started yet,but what took you so long?"

"I went to the company and when I left there,I got in the car and the tire was flat,so the driver had to change it. Then we were caught by surprise by a traffic jam,all that made me late."

"I see."

So we wait and soon the presentation begins and as soon as she enters a prominent place,she looks first at the audience looking for her father,who smiles happily and waves to her. We see her smile happily sighing more securely,soon her part begins and she does everything beautifully as always,she was a golden girl,she put a lot of effort into everything she wanted to do.

At the end of it all,she comes running up to us and gives each of us a tight hug.

"Thank you for being here daddy and mommy,I love you."

"Nothing my love." - We talk together.

We went home and on the way we bought ice cream, Margô was very happy and wouldn't let go of her father.

After hours we had already arrived, had lunch and done our morning chores, Matew and Margot were playing.

"Can we play horseback riding daddy?

"Can we do it another day, daughter? Daddy is very tired today.

"It's okay daddy." - She looks sad.

"Okay Mag, but only a little bit. - She smiles broadly.

"You can't keep doing her every wish because of the sad faces she makes, Matew.

"Just for today, honey, please.

"Then you'll be in a lot of pain.

"I promise we will play just a little bit."

I just nod,he smiles and soon gets in the position that horses get in,his legs are bent,then Mag climbs on his back and he goes crawling,the two of them are laughing and playing happily.

Later:

I massaged Mat's back,as he was feeling pain in that area.

"Slowly Helena. - He whimpers.

"Slowly? Now ask me slowly. I remember I told you not to do what Margot wants, but you didn't care what I said, so you stayed down for a long time and with weight on your back, now you're standing there with pain.

"I'm sorry, honey, I just want to see you happy, smiling, well ..."

"Please,don't deny yourself health and well stat for us,I beg you,I want you to stay and be well,there is no way you can take care of us if you are not in good health."

"You are right,I forgot that I am no longer a young boy,who has vigor and a powerful back."

"But even a young boy has to take care of himself, not overdo it."

I massaged Mat's back,as he was feeling pain in that area.

"Slowly Helena. - He whimpers.

"Slowly? Now ask me slowly. I remember I told you not to do what Margot wants, but you didn't care what I said, so you stayed down for a long time and with weight on your back, now you're standing there with pain.

"I'm sorry, honey, I just want to see you happy, smiling, well ..."

"Please,don't deny yourself health and well stat for us,I beg you,I want you to stay and be well,there is no way you can take care of us if you are not in good health."

"You are right,I forgot that I am no longer a young boy,who has vigor and a powerful back."

"But even a young boy has to take care of himself, not overdo it."

"You want to ease my old age?" - He gives a slight laugh.

"You're not old Matew, just more experienced..."

"Are you sorry you married an old man who can't even play with a child?

"There are times when you get too silly. For the love of Mat, I would never regret the best choice I made, you see how happy Margot is here, having you as her father?, I could never have made a better choice than that, you are almost perfect."

"Almost?" - Now he turns to face me.

"Yeah,you don't give many limits to that little girl,that makes you not so perfect,but otherwise you are exceptional and a great father,I am lucky to have you by my side."

"I who am luckiest to have you by my side,I am very happy to have you here with me,my life has been perfect and happy,it is all thanks to you Helena,who gave me one of the best gifts,an amazing daughter."

I smile,then he sits on the bed as I do,holds my face gently and kisses my lips,and in a few minutes we were moving quickly and tenderly. When we finished,we went to bathe,dry ourselves,put on something comfortable and then go to sleep.
