A One Night Stand With Mr. Goldman

Tiara POV

When Laurel told me he had another surprise for me, I could not wait to see where he was taking me.

I won’t lie, today has been the best day of my life so far.

I got to see the doctor with Laurel.

I remember the last time Laurel promised to come with me for my check-up, but it didn’t happen.

Because he had an important business meeting, he could not come with me and, to the point, I am very happy that he did not come with me.

After all, the attention he caused at the hospital today was too much.

I could see how some girls were looking at me as if they wanted to eat me alive all because of Laurel.

And I can just imagine the effects his words given to the news reporters must have had on the whole population of Los Angeles.

I just hope his enemies do not come for his baby and me because, for the past few months, I have lived in a rich mansion.

I discovered that some average and even poor people are happier than most of them.

Because their lives are based on so much revenge and hatred and also disunity among them, which will be somehow unseen in a poor and average family.

We have reached our destination. Laurel said.

Okay. So what are we doing at the beach? I asked him.

You talk too much. Don’t worry, you will find out very soon. Laurel answered.

Okay. Why don’t we go find out? What do you have for me? I said and tried opening the door of the car.

Hold on, lady.

You are not allowed to step outside until I say so. Call said.

Laurel said and stepped down from the car, walked to the opposite side of the car, and opened the door for me to step out. I finally stepped out of the car.

Let’s go now.

Wait first! You know I told you it was a surprise, right? Laurel asked.

Yes, you did. Why? I asked him

Before you see what I want to show you, I would like to close your eyes while we get to the place. Laurel said.

What? How can you close my eyes? I asked him.

Don’t worry, you won’t be blind.

I will just close your eyes for some time, and then I will open your eyes for you. Laurel said

Alright, if you say so, then there will be no need for me to refuse you from closing my eyes.

I said to him. He blindfolded my eyes and held my hands and my waist while directing me to where we were going. I could not see anything, but I could hear how people were greeting him and

Welcoming him into the building got me wondering if he had planned it ever since,

because everything looked like a planned act.

After a long walk and we were not still at the place, I asked him when we were going to get to the place, and he told me he would move my blindfold when we got there.

That got me wondering if we would ever get to that place or did he intentionally planned for me not to see him for a long time before he opened the blindfold.

After another short walk, he finally stopped walking and said to me, we had reached our destination.

I was happy because I could not wait to see the surprise he had kept for me.

He went behind my head and opened my blindfold.

When he finally opened my blindfold, it took me a little while to open my eyes, since my eyes were closed.

I am most confused about whether visually dispersed people are really strong people to be for years without seeing someone like me.

Who was just blindfolded for a short period and could not accept it for a long period.

When I opened my eyes, I was great with a wonderful surprise.

I was shocked to the point where I turned and hugged Laurel. Because he surprised me.

We were at the beach, and he had decorated it with beautiful flowers.

Even the path I walked and got there was decorated with floors.

No wonder when we were walking it felt like we were not going but to the beach because of the flowers which were on the footpath.

There was a table at the center of the beach shore and two chairs with a variety of food and a bottle of red wine.

And on one of the chairs was a bunch of red rose flowers.

I turned and looked at Laurel, who was smiling and, I must say, ever since I knew this man, this was the first time I had seen Laurel genuinely happy.

And I was so happy about that.

Laurel, don’t tell me you did all this for me. I asked him.

He just smiled and said yes, I did it for the woman I love.

Thanks so much, Laurel, for everything.

I do appreciate it, and I am sorry I can’t give you a reply just yet. I said to him

It is fine, and you don’t need to worry about that.

As I said before, I will wait for you to tell me you also love me and still just let me love you.

Laurel said and that got me moving.

Here I have brought this for you. Laurel said and gave me the bunch of flowers that were on the chair.

Thanks so much, and I must say they are very beautiful.

I said and smiled at them.

I am just happy he loves me and I know he knows I love him too, but he is just waiting for me to tell him that.

But I am not ready to do it now.

Because I feel like all this is a plan.

And I just want to play along.

In this life, it is said don’t trust people too much.

So I couldn’t help him.

Why don’t you sit down?

He said as he helped arrange my chair, so I could sit down, and when I sat down he arranged the chair for me before he also walked to his seat and sat down.

I don’t know what you really like, so I just ordered everything that was on the menu. He said, and I could see that he was serious.

If you don’t like any of the food on the table let me know, so the waiter can bring the remaining dish. Laurel said

Alright.

When I opened the dishes, they looked attractive.

Wow, Laurel, the dishes are attractive.

I said to him, I told you right that you are going to love the food prepared in this place.

And I am enjoying it already, I said to him before taking my dish and dishing out my food.

That after serving Laurel.

At first, a waiter came to help us serve our food, but I refused because I wanted to serve my husband this time.

Laurel, I don’t know why you had to spend a lot of money buying all the food on the menu because we won’t finish it. I said to him,

Don’t worry that your husband has the money, so let him spend it on his wife. Laurel said and that got me smiling.

We eat our food silently.

I can’t remember the number of times I have added my food.

I don’t know why this boy’s child decided to love food too much at that moment.

And the type of food I was eating was not even my favorite food and that got me

Wondering why I would leave my favorite food and eat what I don’t like or have never eaten before.

Don’t tell me if food is your favorite food. Laurel asked.

Know they are not my favorite food and I don’t know why I kept eating them.

I answered him.

That is because that is what the baby wants.

And do you know what? Laurel asked me

Know what? I asked him too.

When I was little, my mother told me when she was pregnant it was the type of food she loved eating. Laurel said

Are you serious? That your mother loved this type of food? Yes, he did.

Alright. Now I understand.

Boy child, make sure you don’t take after your father’s attitude and character okay, but you can take his physical appearance.

I said to my baby in my womb and that got Laurel laughing.

Why don’t you want him to take after my attitude and character? Laurel asked.

Having you alone with that character and attitude to handle things is enough for me even though I am trying to cope with it and just imagine our son being taken from you again.

You will both just send me to my early grave. I answered.

Son, will you tell your mom that with our attitude and character, we will be protecting her from our enemies? Laurel said to the baby and I could feel him kicking.

Laurel, he just kicked! I said to Laurel while placing my hand on my stomach.

Come on Laurel, come and feel it for yourself.

I said to Laurel, and he got up from his seat and came to where I was sitting.

He bent down and placed his hands on my stomach.

Laurel says something to him, and you will feel how he will kick again. I said to him,

“Son, Dad loves you so much, and he wants you to be stronger and braver than him.”

Laurel said to the baby with her hands still on my stomach and, just like I, imagined the baby kicking again.

Wow, Laurel. It seems like our son loves you so much.

That means he is going to be stubborn just like you.

Son, tell your mother we are not stubborn. Laurel said, and the baby kicked again.

This is not good.

He does not listen to what I say, but whenever you say something to him, he listens and kicks. I said angrily.

Son, your mom is jealous of our connection, but I know you have a stronger connection with your mom too, right? Laurel asked.

And he kicked again. And I looked at Laurel and said,

Why don’t we continue with our food?

Take care of yourself, okay son, and also don’t disturb your mom, alright?

Laurel said to the baby, and he kicked again, causing Laurel to smile as he walked to his seat and sat down.

It looks like he is going to be a very stubborn boy just like his father.

I said to Laurel and he started laughing.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

We need to start going now.

I am sure Dad will be waiting for us at home.

I said to Laurel after we were done with our meal.

We will go soon.

Let’s just take a stroll around the seashore.

I hope you don’t have a problem with that. I asked him. Yes, I don’t mind.
