MY PARTICULAR HOMAGE TO...
- I'm pregnant -Pauline blurted out on the way to the new house which she had found for Enzo.
They were leaning back on the back of his car. Carl, his beloved driver, smiled at her looking through the rear-view mirror and congratulated her. Enzo, still had to recover. Pauline pregnant? Whose child it is? Every boyfriend she had, lasted just a little while.
- May I ask you whose child is it? -he said dumbfounded.
- Thanks for your congratulations.
- I'm sorry, my love.
- Aren't you happy for me?
- Of course I am, silly -he grabbed in a tight hug, gently-. I'm very happy for you but it's just... you haven't got any boyfriend, have you?
- Oh, did you know you are a far too traditional man sometimes when you are so modern?
- How far along are you?
- 6 weeks -she announced with an emotion on her blue childish eyes.
- Darling, come on, tell me who is the father.
- He is an anonymous donor. I've conceived in vitro. I don't know who is the father. I know he's Persian and very good at maths.
Enzo stared at her with his big eyes, bigger than usual. Pauline looked him deleighted to still surprise him.
- Why Persian? -he asked laughing.
- Well, it's the nearer I can get to have your child. Do you remember when I asked you having a child and you said you'd rather have another cat?
- I've never thought you wished so much being mother. It's funny, we never talked it over. Why hadn't you wait to find a stable partner? It's a very radical decision.
- What if I never find a stable partner? The time pass and I wanted being a young mother. I'm already 28, the older you are, more risks. I don't need a man.
- Well darling, that Persian man did his bit, don't you think?
Pauline burst into laughter and started fanning herself. Enzo asked her quickly:
- Are you feeling fine?
- Just a little bit too warm. I get sick but they told me it will let up.
- Do you want to stop and breath some fresh air?
- No, thank you. I'm fine.
- Wait, lay your head. I'm fanning you.
Pauline laid back her head over Enzo's legs while the latter fanned her gently roaming his beautiful chocolate eyes on her.
