Back Home!!
Mandy
“You’re ready?” I asked him, dragging my suitcase with me. I looked at the room and a smile formed on my lips. We created memories here, and we bonded. We talked without disagreeing with each other and it was worthwhile behaving like an actual couple.
“Honeymoon is over,” he said with a sigh, he placed his hands on my shoulders and kissed my forehead while holding his suitcase as we both let that sink in.
“We had fun, yeah?” I raised my head to stare at him, and he nodded his head immediately.
“It was beautiful. But it’s time to get back to the real world,” we both sighed, before dragging our suitcase out of the room.
“I’m sure everyone is excited to meet us,” he breathed out and I looked at him with my lips squeezed.
“What?”
“About that,” I said in a cranky thought like I was about to be judgemental…
“I was hoping we could leave on our own, without any family- just the two of us,” I bit the tip of my finger and turned my head away.
“But the baby? Aren’t you going to be needing every help you can get?” He questioned and I knew that was true. But with family and having a lot of people in my life, my private life isn’t what I need right now.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“I know that, and I can handle myself perfectly fine,” I said proudly…
“And I don’t doubt that at all,” he smiled warmly when they arrived at their ride.
“Mandy I don’t know what to say about this?” he confessed truthfully…
“Our parents could come to visit. On the weekends maybe and we’ve got maids and help, I don’t see how it’s a problem at all,” the car drove off to the airport and Christian held my hands and rubbed my thighs all through the ride, amidst the conversation…
It gave me jitters, and I was completely nervous but I liked it a lot, I love being around him.
“Baby, let’s think this through okay? I just don’t want to leave you all alone and then you need something or there’s an emergency and you have no one around,” he said in a worried tone and squeezed my hands a bit.
“I know you’re worried, and you’re right. Let’s think this through before we make any hasty decision,” I forced a smile agreeing with him.
But I just wish he would understand that I didn’t want that stress or family pressure anymore around me. My parents had given me enough, and even if a Christian family is a lot more welcoming, I just knew there were going to be expectations from me and I just wanted to be myself and have my own space. Personal space, safe space, or whatever…
“Okay, I’m not agreeing with you on this,” he looked at me, and I turned to stare at him.
“But I’m going to give it a shot and if anything happens, absolutely anything, then we stay at my parent’s place,” he said and I jumped on him kissing him all over the face, whole he smiled too stunned to speak.
“Didn’t expect that reaction, but loved it,” he said…
“Nothing is going to happen I promise,” I said to him in assurance.

“They are here,” the excitement in Christian’s mom’s voice made me get a little nervous as we stepped out of the car. Our suitcase was brought down by the maids, while we were both engulfed in a tight hug.
“Did you have a great time?” She asked me, while her hands were on my shoulders as we both walked inside the house. I looked at Chris begging for help with my eyes but he only winked at me.
“We did,” I responded with a smile.
“And how have you been?” I asked her genuinely, hoping to move the topic away from me…
“Oh, I looked so happy. I can’t wait to meet my grandchild,” she was now in front of me smiling.
“Oh wow, you are having a tiny bump,” she smiled and rubbed my stomach, and I rubbed it too proudly and for the first time, I was so excited having these feelings. It’s like I didn’t have to worry so much and just trust the process…
“I’m excited,” I told her truthfully, and she sang in praise when Chris hugged me from behind.
“I can’t wait to meet our little prince,”
“Our princess,” I turned around pointing my fingers at him.
“Or both,” he added, smiling sheepishly…
“What? No way,” I disputed the thought while he laughed loudly, leaving her stunned.
“Christian,” she yelled his name rushing to catch up with him…

“Finally home,” I breathed out in delight, as I closed the door behind me and got into my apartment. The familiar smell hits my nostrils and I hummed a song while dragging my suitcase up the stairs. I jumped on the bed when I thought of him smiling.
“Great, I need to text him that I arrived home safely,” I said out loud and pulled my phone from my purse. I unlocked my phone, tapped on the camera app, took a phone, and sent it to Edward with a text, thanking him for the cool ride.
“Damn I’m going to be crazy rich,” I said and clicked my fingers, as I recalled the experience I had in the jet when my phone beeped
“Good girl,” I read out and immediately tapped my feet excitedly.
“Gosh, what is it with this man?” I squealed happily, going downstairs to grab myself a cup of water.
“How was the honeymoon,” I tapped on my phone and sent it to Mandy. Now that I’m back and hopefully we both could hang out and catch up.
“I’m back, you?” She texted back and I sent her a yup, opening the fridge as I grabbed myself a bottle of water.
“Save me. Christian’s mom is asking me to spill tea about our trip,” I read out laughing.
“You seem to be having a lot of fun, I’m going to let you continue with that then,” I opened the cap, drank a little portion, and walked back to my room, to catch some sleep…
