It’s Lorenzo,” I lied once again. My mother looked stunned.
“What do you mean, Julia?” She asked in shock. “I did not expect it! You two together, how did this happen?
“It just happened naturally… But, anyway, I don’t want to talk about it anymore, Mom. Tell me about your trip!” I asked, trying to change the subject.
“Alright, sit down, I have a lot of things to tell you! My mother said it excitedly. I smiled at her enthusiasm and sat back on the bed.
I loved the relationship I had with my mother. When we went out together, nobody would guess we were mother and daughter, we looked like two sisters or frie My mother is so beautiful and doesn’t even look her age. She has always been my friend–my true best friend in the whole world.

I want you tonight….
POV WILLIAM
I had no hope for us, especially considering how we started. I no longer believed in love until she came along…
Now that it’s different, I feel full of new emotions. I like the thrill of this love, and I like to take it all out on her.
At least this tiere, I’m not abah. I know we can make it work. As absurd as it may sound, I am aware that I am experiencing love for the first time in my perhaps confined by the way she looks at me.
Simply put, your embrace offers me the best quality of life compared to anywhere else, and the memories of each encounter fill my voids at night. They are wonderful moments that would make great stories to tell our children in the future.
Wait, am I already thinking about having children? Maybe I’m going crazy.
I shook my head, go out of the car, and headed to John.
It was evening, and I was going to the dinner John had invited me to earlier.
1 rang the doorbell, waiting for someone to answer. I heard a noise inside, and soon the door opened, giving me the beautiful sight of my girl.
She stared at me in silence for a few seconds, and I did the same.
“Come in,” she said, looking away.
“You look beautiful,” I complimented, entering the house. I noticed her flushed cheeks and laughed, shaking my head.
“My father is in the outside kitchen,” she informed me.
I nodded and headed towards where my friend John was grilling meat
“Good evening, buddy,” I called out.
“I thought you weren’t coming,” he said without looking at me, still turning the meat.
“Have I ever missed any of your meetings, my friend?” I sat down
John smiled and handed me a beer.
“You look upset. What’s wrong?” asked John.
“Im going to be a father,” I whispered, sipping my beer.
John’s eyes widened in surprise. He was in shock.
Yo
so careful.”
“What do you mean? You were always so
“I don’t even fucking know. I’m lost,” I said, shaking my head.
“Who’s the woman?” he asked.
“Angeline,” I replied, watching Awa set the dinner table with Julia, who was smiling at something her mother said.
“Augustus” daughter?” he asked, and I nodded. “Damn, you screwed up.”
“She wants marriage, man,” I denied.
“You know you can’t deny her that,” he reminded me.
“I don’t even know if the child is mine. I’ve always taken precautions, dann it. And now that I’ve met someone…” I spoke, feeling upset.
“Are you
with someone?” he asked again, surprised.
“Im not anymore. She found out about the pregnancy and didn’t want to stay with me….
I want you tonight
“Who is the woman?” he asked.
“The same one from the dance.” I limited my answer. It wasn’t a complete lie.
“You found the woman?! You’re the man!” he laughed.
“I’m lost “I confessed.
“I hope you can sort everything out in the best possible way!” he said, getting up to go and check the meat.
John finished roasting the meat and took it inside, helping
ing his wife set the table.
My thoughts were far away as I sipped my beer, barely noticing when Julia sat down next to me.
“Hi,” she said, catching my attention. I looked over at her, who was sipping her soda.
“Hello, princess,” I replied.
“You look like you’re bored,” she commented.
“I am very much so. I didn’t want any of this to happen.”
“I hope it all works out. I’ll be by your side,” she said, surprising me. “You know I love lids, right?” she laughed,
I laughed at her comment and looked around to make sure no one was watching us.
“Are you serious?” I asked, adjusting my seat to be closer to her
she replied, looking me in the eye and biting that luscious lip
“You want to drive me crazy, do you?” I asked. “You know, I’m old, and I can’t take that much excitement.” I joked.
“Yes, old man,” she teased, getting up
“I want
you tonight, I stood up too, facing her.
“It’s not possible. How am I going to sneak out without my parents knowing?” she questioned
“Window?” I suggested it as if it were obvious
“You’re crazy,” she laughed, shaking her head.
figure something out,” I winked at her, and we headed back into the house.
The table was set for dinner, and we all sat down. Julia sat across from me, next to her mother.
“William, John told me that you are going to be a father. Congratulations!” she smiled sympathetically.
“I don’t know if the child is mine, I said.
Then you have to get married, Brian teased me.
“Only in her dreams,” I replied, looking at Julia, who was eating in silence. I’m with someone,” I said, getting her attention with may confession.
““Really? That’s great” said Ava. “You deserve all the Happiness in the world.
“Thanks,” I replied.
Julia’s cheeks flushed at my confession.
“When are we going to meet her?” asked John, Julia gulped down her soda in one gulp. She was nervous, and that w

“Soon,” I simply said.
“Well, we lost a soldier, Brian said, looking
