the love of my life - Pablo Gavi

last day

Tess pov:

It's been 7 months now. Our little boy was born 7 months ago. We named him Martin to keep the name in the family and because we both think it is a beautiful name. 

The last 7 months have been difficult, but I notice that things are getting a little better each time. There remain days where all I can do is lie in bed and cry, but things are getting better. But it still feels strange. 

We never really knew Martin, but you still miss him terribly.

But life goes on, no matter how harshly it sounds.

"It feels so strange Pablo." He looks up. ''What feels strange?'' ''Tomorrow we're just getting married. Then you are my husband and I am your wife.'' 

''I think it sounds perfect.'' he says smiling. I give him a kiss. "I think so too." Pablo gets out of bed. "What are you going to do?" I say asking. ''Getting Hope. Can't you hear her?''

 I concentrate and then I hear Hope too. Pablo is already with Hope. I hear her laugh and then the door opens. 

Hope immediately walks to the bed and climbs on it. She walks over to me on her knees and gives me a hug. ''Good morning mommy.'' ''Morning Hope, did you sleep well?'' She nods. "Good girl!" 

Today is a busy day. Pablo got today off because we are getting married tomorrow. And to be honest, I'm so super nervous. 

I barely slept last night and I know I won't be able to sleep tonight either. But I'm up for it. 

This may sound very chliché, but the day I met Pablo, I knew I would give my life for him. I knew I wanted to be with him until my death. 

It was therefore my best choice to continue in life with him.

Still I feel sad. Pablo looks at me and he immediately looks concerned. ''What is it mi vida?'' ''It's... It's just the feeling of knowing that Manuel is not there. I had hoped so, Pablo.'' He wraps his arms tightly around me and I rest my head on his chest.

 ''I know it is difficult and tough. But what I also know is that Manuel is there. I know that our little angel is watching in heaven tomorrow.'' I look at him. ''I think so too. And that he is always there.'' ''Exactly.'' 

He gives me a kiss and then he gets out of bed because Hope has walked to the door. I also get out of bed to get ready. 

Pablo goes downstairs with Hope for breakfast.

<----->

"I'm so nervous Mikky." Mikky smiles. We sit in the bedroom at my house to prepare the last things. Better yet, we're getting ready to go to the nail salon with all the bridesmaids. 

I waited on purpose, because I know how quickly you can ruin a nail. And it's just as relaxing with all the friends together.

''Everything will be fine, believe me. I was also very nervous when I got married to Frenkie, but it is your wedding. It is your day that nothing and no one can disturb. 

Maybe annoying girl fans who are all over Pablo, but they don't stand a chance. Nobody has a chance. When you see the way Pablo looks at you, you will never have to worry again.''

I smile. I know how in love Pablo can look at me, because I once caught him. Several times, to be honest. 

And I also know Pablo is very protective of me. He has always been like this since the beginning. It took some getting used to that, as I've never had a protective figure for him in my life. But I'm glad he came into my life. 

I look at Mikky. "He's just a stupid brown haired boy with brown eyes so I sometimes can't understand why I fell so much in love with him and still do." Mikky laughs. ''I know exactly why you're in love with him. His character, the things he does and how he is, how he is so protective and I think also because he has brown hair and brown eyes.'' 

I smile. ''I think you're right.'' ''And believe me, it's going to be okay tomorrow. It is your day and nothing and no one can disturb that.'' 

Then the doorbell rings. I get up, walk downstairs and open the door. Camila, Aurora and Sara are at the door. 

"Hey girls!" I give them all a hug and then we walk in together. Mikky is also downstairs and I grab the car keys. We all go together, because it's just much more fun.

<----->

"Your nails turned out so beautiful Tess!" I smile gratefully at Camila. I think they turned out very beautiful, exactly how I wanted them. 

They are almond nails with white French tips and pearls and diamonds on my nails. It may sound a bit intense, but it is stunning.
