THE DEAL: Novel (29 page)

"Mr. Bennett”

The doctor said looking at him seriously, making JP extremely nervous.

“There's nothing to worry about, everything is just fine. After the first tests we made, we double check everything just to be sure and we have only good news, congratulations Mr. Bennett you will be father of twins. Your wife is well and the babies are too. She isn’t in risk or the babies. She just needs some rest"

The doctor told him shaking his hand to congratulate him. JP opens his mouth in happy shock, this was the best news he could ever receive right now in his life. He really made it, his life was complete. Full of joy he was speechless, when he is able to recover and talk again he said:

"How far is my wife doctor?"

"Almost seven weeks. Generally when a woman becomes pregnant her body has huge changes such as blood flow, blood pressure, which is perfectly normal, as it is generating a new life inside her.

In Carolina’s case she has two lives. When a woman gets pregnant and especially from twins sometimes causes sudden blood pressure drops in the first trimester which can lead to unconsciousness especially if the mother has already low blood pressure, which is Carolina’s case."

JP couldn’t hide the thrill of knowing he was going to be a father, it seemed to him that the doctor had told him he had won the Euro millions first prize, he was beyond himself he was completely euphoric of joy. The doctor smiled with delight seeing a father so happy and continued:

"There are a few precautions for Carolina during the pregnancy, such as avoiding high-temperature environments, sudden movement’s changes and she can’t drink alcohol, fizzy drinks or coffee.

Please make her drink lots of water to stay hydrated and always make her walk with a small salt package in her handbag, so when she starts to feel the buzz alerting her from low blood pressure she needs to put the salt in her mouth, which helps stabilize and avoid fainting. Otherwise everything is fine, don’t worry"

He was radiant in life, as soon JP ended the conversation with the doctor he went back to see Carolina in her room to talk to her, he needed to give her the best news he ever had received. When he reached the room, he enters with a smile from ear to ear, he grabbed her hand, sitting on the edge of the bed he wanted to start talking but he was too overwhelmed of joy. She looks at him with a suspicious look and confused, starting to be serious worried.

Why is he with an idiot smile, if I'm in a bed in the hospital?

She thought already starting to be offended.

"My love, I just spoke to the doctor who already knows the results of your tests, oh boy I have news..."

He needed to stop for a second to create suspense. And finally he said:

"We will be PARENTS!!!"

He exclaims unable to contain the excitement, put on his knees beside her bed, holding Carolina’s hands taking her hands to his mouth kissing them repeatedly. Carolina looked at him confused.

"How am I already pregnant if yesterday we agreed to have children?!"

"I only know that you are almost seven weeks pregnant, I know it’s very soon and many things can happen, but do you know where we were six/seven weeks ago?!”

She takes a second to think.

"We were on the island..."

She said shocked to remember how everything had changed since then.

If they hadn’t understood each other and if they were separated and she would found out that she was pregnant, he would think she had gotten pregnant on purpose
.

Carolina didn’t even want to think about that hypothesis anymore. She was happy and shocked at the same time because she had everything she wanted in life.

"But there's more ..."

He was preparing her for the final shock, winking his eye, kissing her on the lips, kissing her hands without containing his obvious silly smile continuing his euphoria state.

"What do you mean there's more? Is everything okay with the baby?!"

She asks nervously.

"Everything is fine with the babies, we are having twins. Isn’t that wonderful? We did a fine job!"

He told her with a fulfilled grin from ear to ear.

"Thank you my love, you make me feel the happiest man in the world"

Said to her tenderly, taking her hand to his mouth kissing softly. Carolina couldn’t stop smiling either, she just couldn’t believe it, just yesterday they were planning to have children and now they discover she is pregnant from twins. She extends her arms, he looks at her laying his head on her chest, hugging her, and she hugged him affectionately back, kissing his hair caressing his face with his soft beard.

"You make me feel the happiest woman in the world. I love you for being the man you are. I really do"

In the evening after Carolina have been hydrated and be medicated for her new state of grace, she was highly instructed to rest for the next 24 hours. Carolina calls her boys to invite them to go lunch during the weekend with her and JP, they have news they want to share with them. But they shouldn’t worry is nothing to be concerned about.

Reaching Happiness

Carolina decides to stay home to rest, although she felt good with the pregnancy, she knew she had to control the blood pressure and have the usual medication for pregnancy. She couldn’t stop thinking, with 43 years and carrying a normal twin’s pregnancy wouldn’t be an easy task, she couldn’t help it but feel a very lucky woman.

JP decides to sell the companies to be able to give attention to the family that he always wanted as he was in the final stages of negotiations with an international group to sell his companies very soon. Carolina gives in to JP’s request to stay home to rest and enjoy the term of the pregnancy without any complications and to adapt to their new married life and future parents, giving up her job. Perhaps follow JP’s request would be the most wise thing to do, although she loved working, but she needed to think about her new life and her new condition, and the best option would be to stay at home for now. If she thinks about it in a very cold way, over the years she always worried with her career and live from what she earned, because she wanted too, she was one of the few people who could had the privilege of not having to work and not have to prove anything to anyone, and most importantly, she didn’t need to prove anything to herself, because she knew she achieved everything she ever wanted in her life and what she didn’t achieved she earned from her mother.

At this stage Carolina's knew what her priority to be happy was.

Sometimes in life you need to give up a few things up earning others.

The weekend was at the door and Carolina is looking forward receiving the boys and tells them the latest news.

On Sunday Carolina’s boys would finally see her new home, where their mother will live and she was filled with longing for them. She found herself feeling a bit worried, she wasn’t sure how they would react to the news of the twins. JP saw that she was concerned to give them the news, thought it would be best to find a way to distract her and decides to make her a surprise. Puts her in his Range Rover, out of London into the countryside, they stopped in a pub for lunch and after lunch following destination although he doesn’t want to say where they are going because he wants to make her a surprise.

The day was great, the sun dawned light though it was not too hot, but it was still nice. Finally they arrived at the destination that JP had set for them. He stopped the jeep along a hillside on the beach, on the rocks, he goes out the jeep and goes to Carolina’s door and opens the door to help her out, hugging her and kissing her while they walk to the beach.

They embraced for a walk along the beach.

"I know this is nothing compared to the island where we were, but I would walk a little seaside with you. Have you noticed how much has changed since the last time we walk together along the beach? It’s crazy how we were able to get here, isn’t it?"

She looked at him, smiling, resting her head on his shoulder.

"It's true and I never thought it was possible to be so happy at your side. Since I met you, I had hope, but then the reality was completely different and there were many times I thought there was no hope for us to be a couple. Although I desired and have loved you since the first time I looked at you, but by the way we meet and after you have said to me so many times that I wasn’t the right woman for you, I had little hope that one day we could achieve anything together."

He stops putting himself in front of her embracing her putting both arms behind her back, giving her a passionate kiss.

"A lot has changed thankfully for better, thanks to you I started to see yourself as a woman and started to love you without realizing it. And today I am again a happy man with everything I could ever want in this life. Thank you for being part of my life Carolina, thank you my love"

She looks at him, she can’t see him completely because of the sun, she wasn’t able to see his face, she saw the shadow of his body against the light from the intense sun that was on that day, and she could only see the blue intense eyes when he slightly shifted his position. Instinctively she takes her eyes to the jeep, the black range rover with the front wheels on the rocks.

The Dream...

She remembers his smile, hugging him and kissing him.

Dreams they do come true.

He realized that she was far away mentally for a moment, and asked:

"What are you thinking now?"

"I was just having a few memory flashes from the past for a few moments"

She told him smiling with her arms around his neck, kissing his neck, his soft beard and his lips that taste delightfully as ever.

"I love you and will love to eternity"

She whispered in his ear.

He whispered back to her:

"I love you and love you forever"

They smiled at each other in complicity.

I will never get tired and satiate with this wonderful man who smells so good.

She thought when she kisses him looking into his eyes smiling with happiness.

"What do you think of a renewal of vows? A wedding should be for everybody to remember especially for the groom and bride to remember forever, which was not our case. What do you think to have a ceremony where this time we can remember all, with our friends and family?"

Suggested JP suddenly enthusiastically as if he had the best idea of the year.

"I think that’s an excellent idea, my sons will love the idea"

"Don’t you have more family?!"

He asks eager to know more about her.

"I have my father, but he is always travelling from one place to another, I have uncles and cousins, the usual, but I’m not close to them."

"And your mother?"

"My mother died of cancer when I was young"

She said without wanting to elaborate.

"I'm sorry to hear that"

Said JP with sincerity, respecting Carolina’s silence knowing by her facial expression how she misses her mother deeply.

"Let's go back to London, it's getting cold for you here and we have to appear for a few minutes in Rafael’s party later today, we promised to go there"

Embracing her taking her with all the love in the world as if she were the most precious stone in the world, at least is was for him and that was how she made him feel.

They returned to the Range Rover.

On the road they were encouraged to listen to music from the 80’s and started humming having fun together. Carolina loved going next to JP while he was driving to observe him and making him know that she is starring him. He tried to stay focused on the road, but always when he looked at Carolina, she was looking at him and he smiled at her stretched his arm and tickles her knee pressing it with his fingers. She laughed when she feels tickled and begged him to stop, he obeyed. Every time she distracted him, he returned again to tickle her. For a sweet revenge, Carolina puts her hand on his knee, dragging her hand slowly groping him until she feels his private parts. It didn’t take long until she felt he was starting to get hard, he looked at her with his intense blue eyes, wanting her already there, however he didn’t had an opportunity to stop the jeep anytime soon, because if he could she knew she wouldn’t escape.

Then she had the idea to unbutton his pants belt and buttons, exposing the white fabric from his boxers. As usual he wore his immaculately white boxers Calvin Klein. Carolina saw that he tried to concentrate on the road putting both hands on the wheel but he didn’t look at her or gave her any indication to stop for what she intended to do next. Anticipation is always the best aphrodisiac and Carolina took her time playing with her palm of the hand passing gently over JP's soft boxers, slowly up and down. She wanted to get closer to him, but the seat belt wouldn’t let her, she unbuckled it, approached him and began kissing his neck, continuing the kisses over his extremely expensive clothing to get to his firm erection, kissing over the fabric, and with a hand she pulled his erection out, with one hand firmly holding that beautiful specimen and with her mouth holding and sucking the tip, leaving excess saliva running to get her hand well wet facilitating all play movements with his delicious erection, giving JP a delicious and intense pleasure hand masturbation without moving her mouth from the tip of his erection, sucking gently but firmly with the help of her tongue taking the tip of his erection to the top of her mouth.

JP slowed the Jeep, but didn’t stop while trying to concentrate on the road while at the same time was enjoying pleasure.

Multitasking was not his strength, it was extremely difficult concentrate on both tasks at the same, he wanted to close his eyes to feel the pleasure but he couldn’t, he needed to stay focused on the road. He couldn’t hold it long either, telling her that he was going to explode inside her mouth if she doesn’t stop immediately. She ignored his warning, continuing, making him explode inside her mouth, she left his hardiness inside her mouth while he was getting his relief, during his explosion he hang on the steering wheel with both hands with all his strength to keep on road at same time.

When she receives the last drop from him she swallows it and kissed gently his tip while his erection was slowly disappearing. Returning to normal, he let out a big sigh of relief for having an orgasm and driving at same time, it was a lot of adrenaline and pleasure at the same time.

He finally looks at her with a disapproval look, failing completely his intention but after all he was as guilty as she was.

She returned to her seat and put the seat belt again.

"Are you aware that what you just did is highly dangerous and forbidden by law? If we were caught by the police we could go to jail. Besides you placed yourself in danger and the babies taking off seat belt"

She looks at him smiling and said:

"You're very bossy today. The forbidden fruit is always the most appetizing, but if you wanted me to stop you could just say and I had stopped Mr. Bossy"

Blinking her eye in his direction.

He looks at her and shakes his head again in disapproval, but ends saying:

"I really love when you surprise me, you are one of the very few people who I can’t read well, that’s unsettling and at the same time so challenging. That’s one of the reasons I love you so much"

She smiled at him staying in silence. When they got home, they take a quick shower, dresses up more formal heading to his Rafael's party.

Once arrived at Rafael place, Carolina was delighted with the apartment, it was a top floor apartment, it was super modern, and located in the best United Kingdom’s postcode, in Mayfair centre one of the most expensive parts of London. By entering the apartment they were guided to a spacious, modern and bright living room which opened onto a airy terrace which had a wonderful view from the city of London, although it was cold outside the party was on the terrace warmed up with appropriate heaters giving the modern terrace a cosy atmosphere. Rafael received JP with open arms and great him giving him congrats and welcoming them for the good news.

Carolina looked surprised to JP, as they headed to the terrace to greet the rest of Raphael's friends and she had the opportunity to ask JP:

"Does he already knows about the pregnancy?!"

"Yes he knows I told him. Sorry, but I'm too happy not to share the good news, I know, I know it’s too soon to spread it out, but I can’t help it"

He said passing an arm around her waist, hugging her and giving her a kiss on the forehead. She looks at him, smiles, leaning against him and feels the delicious aroma so characteristic of him and that makes her always feel butterflies in her belly. She wanted to be upset with him, but she couldn’t, she realized how much happy he was and it made her feel in the clouds as well. That night when they got home they made love, as in all previous nights, they loved tender and slowly savouring each other as if the world outside didn’t exist.

They normally never fall asleep without repeating the ritual and if they fell asleep, they would wake up during the night to calm the desire they felt for each other. There was always a need for them to be together and love each other at every opportunity, they felt like two teenagers with each other, but with the maturity to appreciate better what they did and how they did it.

It was already Sunday and Carolina was so glad to prepare an elaborate lunch to receive for the first time her sons in her new home, after living the married life with JP. She made meat with vegetables lasagne the boy’s favourite food.

Carolina had to give the news to her sons regarding the pregnancy and she was a little bit nervous because she didn’t know how they would take it. When the boys arrived, she showed them the house and then asked them to sit in the living room because she needed to talk to them a serious subject, before having lunch. When she finally had the courage to talk about the pregnancy, they took a while to react and while they remained in silence and didn’t show any reaction she was worried, but as soon as they assimilated the news, they rose and went hugging their mother, whishing her all the best in the world for her and the babies, the only thing they want for her is to be happy, and if she is happy they were happy too. When JP arrived, they give the congratulations to JP as well. She was thrilled with the reaction of the children to accept so well, she begins to cry relieved, now all the anxiety she felt was gone and she feels much better.
