VENUS & MARS [MPREG ENG VERSION]

PRETENDING

| CHAPTER XXIX |

My eyes were heavy, like I couldn't keep them open. I can't remember what time I went to bed last night, but I remember getting home late after that disastrous dinner. My father almost threw me out, scolded me like I was 7 years old, it was terrible.

I had no hesitation in confronting him, I maintained my posture even in front of his guests. It was Louis that prevented something worse from happening. We returned home in silence, even Louis was unable to say anything.

Now he knew that things had changed between us and that nothing was going to be like before. He thought he had a chance, but he realized there wasn't much he could do, it was the end for both of us and it made me feel better. While there was still this fear of what he would do to keep Harry away from the other siblings, I tried to not freak out. I'll think of something.

As soon as I sat down in my bed and saw that I was still wearing the same suit as last night, I went right to the bathroom to take a shower. I was able to wake up and prepare myself for a new day. I still didn't have anything planned for the next couple of hours, but I was about to find out.

When I walked into the dining room, I saw Louis putting food on the table for breakfast. Everything seemed quite fresh and certainly none of that had been done by him.

"Good morning." he said as he sat down and poured himself a glass of mango juice.

"Good morning." I was in a bad mood when I sat down and filled a cup of coffee.

"How are you feeling?"

"Bad." I responded.

"Is your hangover?"

"Yes."

I stretched my body into a bunch of grapes and I felt my head hurting a little. That was not a good feeling.

"Here, have some. It's a bit strong, but it helps." Louis said, offering me two tiny pills of a blue medication I've never seen before.

"Thank you." I said, putting the two pills into my mouth and swallowing them with my coffee.

I thought that after this quick exchange of words he would say something, but no. Louis started eating quietly, just staring at his plate and nothing else.

"Why are you behaving like that?" I asked.

Although his silence was like a gift, it still made me curious. He wasn't normal, I was suspicious about it.

"Like what?" he asked as he looked at me.

"Quiet... You never acted that way."

"I don't want to upset you. I thought that was what you wanted." He was barely laughing'.

"I do. I mean... I didn't mean it in a rude way. I just prefer it when you don't say absurd things."

I don't know why I said that, maybe I shouldn't have said anything at all. Louis was right in saying that his silence would save me from being upset, but I kind of felt like an asshole for making him feel that everything he does will upset me. I shouldn't be acting like that, it wasn't like my mother taught me to do.
