"Hi."
The voice of the man with a big body sounded shaky, he stood by the door after grandmother left leaving us in the room alone. His face looked scary, he looked much older than with such sharp eyes, his body was large and quite muscular, a face that I really didn’t know. Earlier, grandmother explained to that the man I t in the park earlier was, Gruvv.
I know who Gruvv is. Grandma told when I was in the hospital after I opened my eyes a few months ago.
I woke up after being in a coma for two months. When I opened my eyes, people I didn’t know were in front of . An old woman who looked like my mother greeted kindly after I was finally able to communicate. The CT scan showed that I might have mory loss.
The doctor tell grandma to be prepared if I really didn’t rember who she was.
She greeted and introduced herself to as Bethany Sherburne. Yes, I know that surna. My mom’s surna. Dad was never happy when mom talked about her family. so I don’t really know my mom’s family.
That’s right, mom.
When I still looked very confused, I asked the middle-aged woman where my mother was. She looked at and then burst into tears, she patted the top of my head and apologized repeatedly.
She stutteredly explained that mom was gone. That day, I cried so hard, I was still lying in bed, my head still felt dizzy if I suddenly got up from sleep, but I cried non-stop until I passed out. When they told that I was no longer sixteen, I didn’t cry, but when they told that my mother was gone it felt like my world crampled.
That’s why grandmother brought here? Because mother is no longer in this world?
I cried for two days, it made my body so weak, I vomited several tis. That day, a nurse brought a blanket that had a different scent. A scent that felt so familiar.
"You can wear this, you’ll be much better." The nurse said as she handed the thick, sweet-slling blanket. I hugged the blanket tightly and sohow I felt much better.
Afterward, grandmother explained that mom died of illness. She brought along because my father suddenly disappeared after I finished high school. There was nothing I rembered, not a single mory that popped into my head when she talked about it.
Even when I found out that I was pregnant, that I was an oga and an alpha had marked . It was like being in a strange world, who still thought I was sixteen years old was suddenly given a lot of information that my life had gone so far.
"Uh, are you uncomfortable with being there?" The man’s deep voice brought back to my senses, all the mories of a few months ago ca back to when I saw this man. I touch my stomach, suddenly feeling embarrassed.
This man is the father of the child in my belly, he’s an Alpha who’s marking , that ans we’re having sex, right? I feel my cheeks heating up, I’m getting nervous.
"I’m fine." I replied, averting my eyes, I lowered my head. Ah damn, I’ve gained so much weight, my stomach is so round, I’m embarrassed.
I glanced at him, he was wearing a cane, one of his legs was wrapped in a cast.
"Are you hurt too?" I asked.
He walked over to , sitting on one of the chairs next to the bed. I looked at him, his face was really serious, he looked like an adult.
Oh, I’ve also grown up now.
"Yes, I had an accident." He said, looking at with a smile. His lips were smiling but he didn’t look like he was smiling, his face looked so sad.
"I also had an accident, ah, did we have an accident together?" I asked.
Grandma said I had a traffic accident when I just arrived, I had intended to visit grandma for the holidays and it turned out that the car that picked up from the airport had an accident.
He paused, not answering imdiately, looking at with the sa gaze. No words ca out he just shook his head slowly. A mont of silence filled the room, he cleared his throat again, "I also had an accident here when you had an accident."
Ah, is that why he looks so sad? Did he have an accident because he heard I had an accident? He looks so..... in love with ?
"How are you?" He asked.
I played with the ends of my hair, "I’m fine."
He looked at so intensely, I got nervous and didn’t know what to do.
He asked if it was okay to touch my belly, he was happy that I’m doing fine and so is our child.
"Our child..." Hearing that felt so awkward.
That day he just said goodbye, he told that he would co back tomorrow. After he left my room, grandma ca in, she didn’t ask anything but I felt embarrassed. Like a teenager who just had a lover co over and my parents knew about it.
Ah.
As promised, he ca again the next day. He brought of Acai Bowl for breakfast. I was surprised when he gave the bowl to .
"You like this." He said with a big smile.
That’s right, I did like it. I don’t rember if I’ve ever had it, but one day I was eating dragon fruit and suddenly I wanted an Acai Bowl whose na alone I’d never co across before.
"How did you know?" I asked him who was now sitting on the sa chair.
Again he looked at with those sad eyes, "We lived together for quite a long ti, and you liked the Acai Bowl for breakfast."
Hearing that my heart was beating fast, living together... It turns out that I’m really an adult, I’ve even been allowed to live together with my boyfriend.
He ca to my room almost every day, he would leave during the day and would co back at night before I went to sleep. There was a sweet scent that I recognized every ti he ca. Sotis he would just bring food, which he said was my favorite.
"Do you still like it?" He asked the sa things to every ti he handed a packet or box of food.
He also brings beautiful white roses every day, he says I love them. I didn’t even know I liked white roses.
"I’m asking the gardener planted tons of white roses in the greenhouse and you’re happy to be there for a glass of tea."
"What do I do every day, at ho?" I asked him one day when we were on the balcony, looking at the trees and the wind blowing in the afternoon. It’s late sumr, fall is just around the corner.
"You love reading, you’d be so happy if I brought a book when I go ho after work. You will read books wherever you are. In the room, the reading room, you spend a lot of ti in the greenhouse reading."
I smiled a little, I do love reading. To be more precise, I like new things, and for reading books is the only place where I can learn new things. Especially fiction.
"You like fictional books."
My eyes rounded at this. Ah, he really is my partner.
At first, hearing him tell so many things about ’’, I felt so strange. It was as if I was listening to soone else’s story from his mouth, he was always telling things that I didn’t know and I never knew that I was that kind of person.
But his smile would always grow wide when talking about . Ah, and our baby would respond whenever she heard his voice. Our baby was moving wildly in my belly.
"Can I ask you sothing?"
He looked at again with the sa gaze that day, when we were in the garden. The cast on one of his legs had been removed but he was still using a cane.
"What do you want to ask?" I asked him back.
"Our child, is it a boy or a girl?"
I chuckled at that, yeah, he never knew about the gender. All I heard was that I had an accident when my pregnancy wasn’t that big.
"It’s a girl."
His eyes seed to shine after hearing that, he nodded and smiled.
And then after four days, Seth ca to my room with Maeve. Grandma told that I had a three-year-old boy nad Seth. When I saw him for the first ti, I fell in love with him. He looked like myself when I was little. Considering that I’m now pregnant again, I think my relationship with this Gruvv guy is great.
"Uncle!" Seth called out to him and I froze in place.
He hugged Gruvv, cupped his face and kissed him, they looked so close. If Seth is my son, why does he call Gruvv uncle?
