the love of my life - Pablo Gavi

they found her

Tess pov:

I hear a knock on the door and Hope crying. I slowly sit up. "Come in!" I say sleepily.

I hear groaning next to me, a sign that Pablo has also woken up.

Sara stands in the doorway with a crying Hope on her arm. "Sorry, I really didn't want to wake you up, but she kept crying and I really didn't know what to do anymore," she says and walks towards me.

"I already know," I say as I pick up Hope. "Every morning she lies in bed with us or one of us for a while, and if that doesn't happen she starts crying and keeps crying until she is in our bed."

Sara smiles. "That's sweet." I nod and get out of bed.

Hope lies down with her father and puts her thumb in her mouth.

"I'm going to get ready," I say while looking at Sara. I see that Pablo is going to sleep again.

"What do you want for breakfast?" I look at Sara in surprise. "You don't have to make breakfast, you're a guest here!" I say. She looks at me with a smile.

''You have already done so much for me and I would like to give something back. So what do you want to eat?''

I know I have no choice, so I give in. ''Just make yogurt with apple for me and some fruit or vegetable for Hope. She likes avocado, apples and strawberries the most.

And you don't have to make anything for Pablo, he won't be able to make breakfast anymore." "Okay, I'll make that now!"

After a while I got dressed and did my skincare. I walk to the bed and I see that Pablo has fallen asleep again.

Hope is no longer there, so I think Sara took her down with her. "Pablo, wake up," I whisper in his ear and I give him a kiss on his hair. "You have to go in half an hour."

He turns onto his other side so that his back is facing me.

I pull the covers off the bed. Pablo groans and sits up. His hair is all messy and he has sleepy eyes. He looks at me with difficulty with his sleepy eyes.

''Why Tess? I slept so well," he says pathetically. I almost feel sorry. "You have to leave," I say and I look at my phone. "in about 27 minutes and I don't want you to be late."

He stands up and gives me a kiss. "Thank you and good morning Tess." I smile. "Good morning Pablo." Then Pablo walks to the bathroom and I walk downstairs.

When I come downstairs, I see that Sara has just finished breakfast. Hope whines in her chair. I sit next to her. ''What's wrong princess?''

''I want choco, like auntie Sara'' she says half crying. I smile a little.

''But that's only for people who are old enough'' I answer.

She is now crying, so I take her out of her chair. Sara also sits at the table. I can tell she feels guilty. "I'm so sorry, I can eat something else."

"No, that's really not necessary," I say while I rub my hand back and forth over Hope's little back. ''She needs to learn that she can't get everything she wants. We sometimes give her what she wants if she doesn't stop whining. But this is a good thing, because she has to learn.'' I say back.

I put Hope back in her chair. She has stopped crying and is starting to eat her mashed avocado. I also start with my breakfast.

Meanwhile, Sara and I are talking non-stop. It feels really nice to have her here. "Sara, how was the talking with Lamine by the way?" I see her turning red. ''It was nice, very nice. And we decided to keep in touch this time.

''Shut up! You serious? That's amazing!'' I stand up and give her a hug. "This is really so much fun!" I suddenly get an idea. "Shall the four of us go out to dinner tonight to celebrate?" She looks at me happily. ''Amazing idea.'' she says smiling.

<----->

"Mi vida, I have such good news!" Pablo comes storming into the house. I'm startled by my work. "What is it, ma vie?" I say laughing.

"They found the girl."

I look at him questioningly. "The girl you were stalking!" "You serious?"

"Darling, I would never lie about this," he says, smiling. I give him a hug. ''This is such good news.

But why did she do that?'' ''She was jealous, really jealous of you. She thought that if she scared you, I would leave you and she saw that as an opportunity to have a relationship with me.

But what she didn't realize is that I will never leave you.'' I smile.

''I don't know what punishment she will get, but at least she won't bother us anymore.''

I look at him happily. "But how did you get this?" This morning, during training, security saw a suspicious person. Eventually they arrested her and she confessed everything. Then they informed me.'' I give him another hug. "I am so happy, ma vie." "Me too darling, me too."

<----->

It is now 4 pm and I am calling Belen. I hope she can babysit Hope tonight. Sara asked Lamine if he would like to go out for dinner tonight, and I asked Pablo, and luckily they both said yes. So now we need a babysitter.

''Hey Belen, I have a question. Is there any chance you can babysit Hope tonight? We're going out to dinner with some friends.'' ''Of course Tess! What time do I have to meet you?''

I smile because of her enthusiasm.

''If you can be here around 7 pm, that would be great.'' ''It will be just fine Tess. See you tonight!'' ''Bye Belen!''

<----->

''Thanks Belen. And if there's anything, just call me, okay?'' She nods reassuringly. "I will, Tess. And now go, before you're late.'' she says and gives us a smile.

When we arrive at the restaurant, we see that it is very busy. I see Sara get a scared look on her face.

"Do you mind Lamine?" "What should I mind?" he asks in surprise. ''It's busy. And when people see us together, they might think things.''

''They may think all kinds of things about us. I'm proud to have you, everyone can see that.''

I smile while I melt inside.

I see that Sara is smiling too. Then we walk into the restaurant together.
