{ Emotions }

“Girlfriend…?”

I wasn’t completely sure as to why I was shocked to hear that. Perhaps it was for two reasons; one, Alexandro never mentioned being in a relationship. Then again, if he was seeing someone, why would he sleep with me? Two, there was a part of me that felt hurt. That was the part that struck the most. Why would I be hurt at him having a girlfriend? I wasn’t anything to him, except the mother to his child. Nothing more.

But the way he would talk to me-whenever we weren’t arguing- made him seem like he cared. Now that I think about it, I must just be in some phase in which I hoped someone was there for me. I guess Samy leaving made me feel like this….

“Yes, now be a good maid and let him now I will be there within an hour,” I didn’t even get the chance to tell her he wasn’t home or that I wasn't a maid. With shaky hands, I placed the phone back in it’s place and made my way to the kitchen. Stepping into the luxurious kitchen, I  spotted a maid cleaning the counter off with a wet cloth. As soon as she saw me walk in, she straightened up and gave a small bow. Why? I had no idea, I was far from royalty or anything like that.

“Hello,” I waved at her stopping next to the counter she was once cleaning.

“Hello, ma’am. How can I be of service?” She politely asked.

“Well first, you can start by not calling me ma’am. It makes me feel old,” I said with a quiet laugh. She smiled at me and nodded her head. “Second, can you please let me know where the nutella and the pickles are?”

“Yes, of course….?”

“Marie.”

“Yes, Marie. They are right over here…...there you go,” she said walking over to a cupboard and getting the required things. She came back and handed them to me. I took them in my hands giving her a ‘thank you’ in the process. I sat down on a stool next to the kitchen island and opened up the Nutella along with the pickle jar.

I took a pickle from the jar and dipped it in the chocolate-y substance before eating it. I groaned at the taste. It was the most delicious thing ever! I kept eating some more, repeating the same steps. After my third one, I looked up to see the maid from earlier standing there giving me the ‘what-the-fuck-are-you-doing?’ look. Embarrassed, I wiped my mouth and swallowed, “I was really craving this…”

“So? What’s your name?” I asked wanting to get rid of the awkward silence that had fallen in the room.

“My name is Lucy,” she replied. She was a pretty girl to be honest. She looked to be around twenty or twenty-one. Her hair was black and reached her shoulders. But what made her stand out the most were her eyes, they were a pretty shade of green that almost made them seem as if they were glowing. I have some weird fetish with eyes.

“That’s a pretty name, Lucy. Ho-,” I was just about to ask her another question, when the slam of the front door closing, stopped me.

“Oh, that must be mister Giovanni. I should get back to work.” I saw Lucy make her way out the kitchen and disappear somewhere around the house. I went back to eating my Nutella and pickles, thinking about the online classes I would be taking now. I decided to take online classes, since I was now alone in the apartment and needed to work double in order to pay the rent. Going to college was not going to help with that since I needed a lot of time to work.

“What the hell are you eating?” I jumped a little and turned to look at Alexandro staring at me the same way Lucy had.

“I was craving it. It’s actually pretty freaking good!...Do you wants some?” I offered. He wrinkled his nose and leaned away from the Nutella covered pickle.

“No and we will not be eating from that Nutella anymore. It has pickle juice in it.” I just rolled my eyes and turned my back to him. “So, what did you do while I was gone?”

For some reason, the call from that Sarah Jacobs girl came to mind. My mood went from a 7 to a 4 quickly. I don’t know why this is having such an effect on me! I sucked it up with the conclusion that it was just hormones. “Not much. Spent most of the morning exploring, or throwing up.”

“How are you feeling now?” he asked with such concern in his voice that my heart fluttered. Ugh!There I go again!

“Better now, but I hope this stays down,” I lifted a half bitten pickle and the Nutella. He gave me a nod with a small smile. Taking his suit jacket off and placing it on top of the island, he took a seat on a stool next to mine. “Oh! You’re girlfriend called. Said she was going to be here in an hour,” I had to let him know.

“My girlfriend?” He asked sounding genuinely confused. I nodded my head and put my attention back on my snacks. “I don’t have a girlfriend...did she say mention her name, by any chance?”

“Sarah Jacobs.”

“Of course,” he said more to himself. I raised an eyebrow at him.

“Why didn’t you tell me you had a girlfriend. I mean yeah, I’m nothing to you, but jeez! You brought me here and I bet anything she doesn’t know I’m pregnant, huh?....Oh god, I'm a homewrecker!!” Tears began to form in my eyes. I wanted to cry so bad! I went from being hurt to being a little angry, to mad in a matter of seconds. Stupid hormones, now I feel bad ‘cause I keep blaming the hormones for everything.

“Marie, stop crying...please. Did you not hear what I said before? I don’t have a girlfriend, okay?” he gathered me into an embrace. I layed my head on his chest letting the tears fall. “And please, you are not a homewrecker. Yes, I had a history with her; but that was in the past.”

I pulled away from him, wiping on the fallen tears. “You do not need to explain anything to me.” I just overreacted. I was in no position to question his life.

“I know, but I want to. To make sure things are clear. Why don’t we take a walk down by the lake,” He stood up and offered me his arm. Once I hooked my arm with his, he lead the way.

“I didn’t know you had a lake,” I say as we approach the boat house that was in the a few yards from the main house. From here, you could see the neighboring house’s docks or boat houses as well.

He chuckled and helped me up some steps, “I don’t have one, but I do share one.” I blushed a little at how stupid I was for asking the question. Of course he didn’t own a lake, but I’m sure that with the amount of money he has, he could easily buy one….or two.

We walked down the dock that was next to the boat house and sat down on the edge. I removed my sandals dipping my feet into the water. We sat there for a while just enjoying the afternoon sun and the small wave the wind created on the water. I turned to look at Alexandro and saw his hair blowing from the light breeze. A strand fell against his forehead and without thinking it, my hand was lightly pushing it aside. Quickly realizing what I did, I pulled my hand away and looked down at the water beneath us. Alexandro just chuckled and I felt my face heat up with the blush that was breaking through.

“Would you like for me to start?” I nodded without looking back at him. “Sarah Jacobs is not my girlfriend. We’ve known each other since middle school. My father and her father were business partners so we would see each other a lot in formal parties and what not. During high school, we had a thing. However, it was never really official you could say. That all ended when I went off to the University. Many told me that she loved me, but I never loved her in that way. It’s more in the friendly type of way. We still, however, see each other and hangout like old friends, but nothing more….As to why she told you she was my girlfriend, I wouldn’t know what to say. Perhaps she still has feelings for me. I don’t know.”

I looked up at him, about to say something, but for the second time today, I was interrupted.

“Alex, baby!!!”
