CHAPTER 71

He rolled over her."I can be your tutor,I'm an excellent teacher."He began planting kisses all over her face and throat her pulse raced.

"I know you are."She sighed and sank further into him his thing was hard and erect on her core.Abby's pelvis contracted in anticipation."But we both know we'll hardly get any teaching done."

"Isn't that the whole idea."His warm breath brushing her hard nipple she trembled.

"No.."She gasped when he flicked his tongue over her nipple."I-I n..need..."

"I know what you need sweetheart."He growled close to her ear and slid into her silky softness.He drove her wild Abby can't understand how he can do this to her body each time,how she can come apart in his arms as if it's their first time with each passing day it was only getting better and better more incredible.Their bond was growing stronger he might deny he doesn't loves her but Abby knows it's not true,she can feel it in every touch,every kiss each soft stroke or caress whenever he holds her in his arms she can feel it,she won't lose hope that he will utter those magical words.

It was the day of the wedding and Abby was excited to see how everything will go Alejandro had told her last night that their weddings are different when she'd asked how different he had said she'll see tomorrow.Now she cannot wait and see how the day will turn out,they were getting ready when her phone rang it was Amanda Abby hope it wasn't any bad news with the new cafe she was half way across the country she won't be able to anything this far.

"Hey Amanda."

"Abby.How is everything going?"

"Great.Everything okay that side."

"Yip.I just called to see how the wedding's going?If you having fun."

"That's nice of you Amanda,the wedding will start in an hour I'll fill you in when I get back and I promise to have fun on your behalf too."

"You better.Kiss Ally for me."

"What's really going on Amanda it's unlike you to just call."Abby knew her friend won't call like this for no reason."And if there was anything seriously wrong that's the first thing you would've mention."

Amanda sighed."I miss my friend and right now I could use her company."

"Another fight with Evan."

"No,our relationship is better."Silence filled the other end."I took a pregnancy test this morning Abby."

Abby sat down on the bed she saw Alejandro wasn't in the room."And..?"

"I'm pregnant."

"Amanda!"Abby said excitement clear in her voice."That's great news."She didn't say anything."Or not."Abby softly said."Aren't you happy.Don't you want the baby?"

"Before I did so badly nothing would've made me more happier than to have Evan's baby,but ever since he cheated on me Abby it's a different story.I'm still struggling to trust him and he's been trying so hard to win my trust back but I-.."

"You think he'll cheat again."Abby finished,she knows how it feels when one's trust get betrayed at one point she had thought Alejandro had betrayed her.

"Am I being insecure for thinking that."

"No your fears are warranted especially now that you pregnant it's not only you anymore there's a life growing inside you and you have to think about your baby first."

"I'm so confused Abby."

"I take it you haven't told him."

"Not yet but I will,I needed to talk to you first.How did you break the news to Alejandro I mean your situation was harder than mine since you were about to marry Blake."

Abby has never told Amanda the truth about what really happened between her and Alejandro she couldn't bring herself to tell her friend the truth."I didn't know I was pregnant Alejandro came to tell me the morning of the wedding."

"You didn't know?"Amanda said shock clear in her tone."I thought one always know the second time around."

Well I didn't Abby thought."When I was pregnant with Ally I never had any symptoms throughout my whole pregnancy so this time around when I experienced all the dizziness,nausea and exhaustion I didn't think I could be pregnant because I hadn't gotten my period yet,I thought it was a stomach bug or something."

"It explains why you couldn't have known.How did you take the news."

"I was shocked but when I was calm the knowledge of knowing I was carrying another baby brought me so much joy,after the difficulties during my labour with Ally I promised myself I didn't want to go through that again not for any man but all that changed when Alejandro came into my life again.Having another part of the man I love growing inside me is worth it,it's worth all the pain I know that will come in the end."

"You really love this man."

"More than I thought possible Amanda and if you love Evan just as much then don't deprive yourself a chance to be happy with him.What matters most is the love you have and if he's trying then there's no need to think the worst."

"You right.Thanks for the talk Abby I really needed to talk to someone."

"I'll always be here for you that's what friends are for."

"Well you the best.Take care of yourself and don't hesitate if you want to stay a little longer I've got everything under control."

"That's why you my right hand woman."Abby smiled."Love you Amanda.We'll talk soon."

"Love you too.Bye."After dropping the call she turned and found Alejandro standing behind her.

"I thought you'd left without me."She put on her best smile.

"Why would I."He said coming over to her,she's let her hair loose like he'd ask. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you.You don't look so bad yourself."She touched his jaw."How long have you been standing here."

Long enough to have heard your entire conversation."Just got here."He lied.

"I was talking to Amanda,we had a girl to girl talk.Is it time for us to leave."

"No.We've got plenty of time."She found herself in his arms.

"We'll definitely be late if you gonna do what I think you wanna do."

"Which is."He asked that wicked gleam shining brightly in his eyes.

"Alejandro no."She said,when he began to zip down her dress.

"You not doing a very good job in convincing me."He said against her flesh Abby couldn't help the deep moan that slip past her lips as he kissed his way down her neck to the slope of her breasts.

"How can I when this feels so good,so right even if I wanted to deny you I can't because I'd deprive myself out of the most important thing ever and that's your love."Her words made him froze and their eyes clashed."Don't give me that look."She said."I won't accept the fact that you keep on denying that you don't love me because it isn't true."

"What will you do the day I ask for a divorce.Will you accept it then,believe then what I'm telling you."It was her turn to froze,she searched his gaze but couldn't read a damn thing in his eyes.Didn't he want to stay married to her. Was he already tired of her when she was hopelessly madly in love with him.Is there any truth in his words the thought frighten her,she can't lose him that would mean the end of her.He is her life her everything,the very reason she wakes up to face each day because he was by her side.

Straightening her spine she met his gaze head on."Even if you can ask for a divorce Alejandro I still won't accept or believe that you don't love me,feelings is something one cannot hide or deny marriage is only on a piece of paper and that piece of paper can be destroyed but love is something that can't be destroyed no matter how hard you try to deny it and that's exactly what you doing right now."He kept quiet and didn't say anything further,clearly she had hit a mark therefore the silence,she wonders what runs through his head if only she had a book to read his every thought than maybe she won't be uncertain when it comes to specific aspects of their marriage.Sofia and Rafael were getting married in a catholic church after they'll go to a resort where their pictures will be taken,the reception will be held at the house since over two hundred and fifty guests will attend Abby has never seen so many people at a wedding but for Sofia's they've gone all out,but yet again there's two big families,friends and other business associates of Rafael and Alejandro.

Abby learned spanish bride's wear black bridal gowns when she saw Sofia walked down the aisle to meet her soon to be husband,the dress was beautiful and sat perfectly on her,in the gown's lower part there are a number of frills that are similar to a flamenco skirt.The gown is designed with full sleeves and ruffles at the end near the hands,material of the dress was mostly made out silk,lace and chiffon a black mantilla completed the look that was clip in her hair,and a bouquet of orange blossoms was in her hand,she glanced at her husband next to her.

"The flowers represents fulfillment,fertility and brings happiness into the newly wedded couples lives."He whispered close to her ear,in answer to her silent question.Their weddings are different she thought but she has learned something new about his culture too,will they also have such a beautiful wedding where they will profess their love for each other in front of everyone only time will tell Abby told herself as she listened how Sofia and Rafael said their vows.The hours that passed Abby watched and listened as Alejandro explained to her in detail the whole wedding ceremony,spanish women wear their engagement ring on the ring finger of the left hand and their wedding ring is worn on the ring finger of their right hand.

Usually there's maids of honour and best man when having a wedding but not here,what they have is padrinos which is the father of the bride and the mother of the groom.Sofia and Rafael have also shared thirteen coins known as arras,it represents their commitment to sharing goods they have and will have in future together.Abby has never witness or seen a wedding so beautiful as theirs now more than ever she wants to experience this customs and tradition with Alejandro it was so private,intimate and special all these things were bringing them even more closer together,and she wants that with her gorgeous husband.
