In The Name of Love

Chapter 18

Author's note: A bit of a filler chapter before things happen next week 👀

"Oh, she's back!"

"Hello, Silvia" I say, walking into our apartment and letting myself fall on the sofa.

"How was your sexual retreat?"

"My what?" I laugh.

"You've spent two weeks with your boyfriend in a house in the middle of nowhere. Alone. Are you telling me you've spent all that time playing chess?"

"We actually did play chess a couple of nights."

"Oh, c'mon, Val."

"We did" I say. "We played chess, Uno, did some touristy things, went to the beach, took the longest naps, worked out, had lunch with his family, had sex in every room of the house multiple times, cooked the most delicious meals, danced in the town's square..."

"Wait, wait, wait. You had lunch with his family?" Silvia gasps.

"Yeah..."

"How... How did that happen?"

"Last weekend were the town's festivities and they have some friends there who invited them over to spend some time together. They knew Pedri was at the house, decided to go pay him a visit and..." I shrug.

"Please tell me they didn't catch you doing anything."

"We were napping. But it was so embarrassing... The night before we had been in town until very late and we were shattered, so after lunch we just layed down on the sofa and passed out. It was one of those naps that make you drool all over yourself and that when you wake up you don't know where you are."

"Oh, I'm familiar with those" she chuckles.

"Since we weren't answering the door, his parents just walked in because they had a copy of the keys. And when they made it to the living room, they found their son sleeping half naked on a sofa with a woman also half naked sleeping on top of him" I explain while covering my face with my hands, the embarrassment of the moment coming back.

"When you say half naked you mean..."

"We both were topless and in our underwear. It was really hot and we were so tired... Who could have imagined that his parents would decide to come pay him a visit?"

"Oh my God, Val" Silvia laughs. "Then what happened?"

"His mother called his name, Pedri got scared, and I ended up on the floor."

"No!"

"Yes..."

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

"Pedro! What... what is this?"

"I... This... Shit, Val. Are you ok?" he asks me.

"Yeah, yeah" I say, slowly sitting up.

"Is this... her?" a female voice says behind me.

"Yes, mum" Pedri replies. Mum? Mum! His mother! She's here! Why is she here? Oh... my God. "Why don't you wait in the kitchen while we make ourselves a bit more presentable?"

"Good idea" she says.

"Pedri..." I whisper once I hear her leave. Though she wasn't alone. A man who I assume is Pedri's dad, was with her.

"I know" he sighs, laying down on the sofa again.

"What are they doing here?"

"I don't know."
