SINGLE MOTHER AND CEO

The next day, Sofia:

-God, what an extraordinary night, please, Lord! Help that from now on, all my nights will be special and fulfilling, like last night,” I exclaimed aloud in my room.

-Mommy! Mommy! -my children shouted happily, opening my bedroom door still wrapped in their pajamas.

-Say, my loves! -I asked, hugging them both, sitting in the middle of my Queen Size bed.

-My little brother Angelito woke up well,” said Rafael Argenis, happy.

-Oops, let’s go, let’s go! To see my little Angelito,” I answered excited, just like them.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

The three of us left the room, happy and smiling, so when I went into my children’s bedroom, I was surprised with Rafael, feeding my little boy. The first thing I thought of was my appearance. My pajamas matched my children’s, but they were very short shorts, which showed all my slender and thick legs.

He fixed his gaze on this part of my body, so when he raised his eyes, his look was one of admiration and surprise. He had touched and caressed my leg, due to the opening of the dress I had worn the night before, and he was still surprised.

In spite of everything, I blushed, I felt my face perfectly reddened by the embarrassment of presenting myself, without even grooming myself, in front of him. My loose hair was matted, tangled, uncombed.

-Hello,” I greeted with my sweet and tender voice, causing admiration in him. He stood up to greet me and kissed me on the cheek, which made my children clap their hands.

-Plas, plas, plas, plas!

-Plas, plas, plas, plas!

-Plas, plas, plas, plas!

This was definitely a trap of theirs. I could see the smile on Rafael’s lips and eyes. And likewise, as I looked at my three children, they were also smiling in complicity with him. Just at that moment, my mother came in with a tray.

-Good morning, daughter! -greeted my mother Estefania.

-Good morning, Mommy! -Why didn’t anyone explain to me that Rafael was here? -I asked pretending to be angry.

-Because it would no longer be a surprise, Mommy! -answered my son Angelito. When we are alone and to distinguish who we are talking to, we call them by their middle name, right, Rafael? -he asked, smiling.

“I am amazed at the support they give him. And so is my mother, who by the way I still haven’t told anything about what happened on my outing last night. Nor about what we have decided,” I thought, looking at him so handsome and beautiful in those sports clothes he was wearing.

-Don’t tell me you didn’t like the surprise? -And as it was obvious, before my son’s question, he looked at him and supported him, “Right, Rafael Angel! If you explained to him that I was here, it would no longer be a surprise.

-What solidarity! -I commented with a smile, approaching my Angelito, to know how he was feeling- How are you feeling, my love? -I asked.

-Very well, Mommy! Can I play soccer with Rafael? -he asked me.

-I don’t know if the doctor will agree! Now, I’ll call him and ask him. But, the first person you should ask is Rafael, if he has time, availability, if he likes it and if he wants to play with you? -I advised, looking at the three of them, as they were laughing in complicity.

-Plas, plas, plas! -they clapped their hands, happily.

Enrique and Argenis walked to the dressing room and came out with three soccer balls, which they could barely carry in their little hands. They were new, so I deduced they were gifts from Rafael.

-Ready, Mommy! Rafael brought us these balls for us to play with him, soccer. Can we play in the garden, near the pool? -asked Angelito, who apparently was already fully recovered.

-Wherever you want! But we must consult the pediatrician first,” I argued, looking at Rafael, totally in love and conquered by him.

-I called him and asked him when Rafael arrived,” said my mother. “He told me that there were no problems, that Angelito was feeling fine and that he had spent the night well,” she explained.

-Then, we will invite Rafael to have a nutritious breakfast first, so he can replenish his energy and run with you and me, because I will also play,” I announced, remembering that Benjamin and Helen would be in charge of the Naviera.

-Great!

-Fabulous!

-Finally, Mommy will play with us!

These were their exclamations, giving me away in front of him, whereupon I blushed again, feeling my face burn with embarrassment. Rafael came closer and whispered in my ear….

-Calm down! They want to have you here, not working,” he added, empathizing with me.

-I accept the invitation! -he answered immediately, loud enough for everyone to hear, placing the cup where he drank coffee on the tray.

So, I asked for permission and went to my room to take a shower and get dressed properly to play soccer. I tried to protect my legs from falling. My children’s nannies took care of them and did the same.

When I went down to the dining room, my four men and my mother were waiting for me. We had breakfast and went out to the garden to find the ideal place for this game. Mom looked very smiling and acting very natural, as if we were used to this sharing among the six of us.

I feel I have the best mother in the world, there were no questions, no prying eyes. She just smiled and so did he and my children. We had a totally fun morning. Afterwards, we rested and invited Rafael to have lunch with us.

As we got up from the table after lunch, Rafael received a call from his assistant, Leonel. Apparently, his mother had been in an accident and was in the hospital, so his presence was required. When he hung up the call, he told me about this.

-I’m sorry, I had asked you to spend the day together! And now I must go,” he justified himself, taking me by the arm and looking towards the terrace, where my mother and triplets were.

Once he was sure that none of them were near, he hugged me and kissed me fleetingly on the lips.

-I’m going to say goodbye to them and Estefania. I promise to come back as soon as possible,” he assured me, “Take advantage of this time to talk to the children. I hope that when I return, which I guarantee will be very soon, I will be able to ask your mother and your children for your hand.

-Great! -I exclaimed with a smile and feeling a shower of butterflies in my stomach, “I’ll wait for you! -I affirmed. Passing my arms around his neck, to respond to this fleeting kiss.

-And I’m going to miss you! -he added again, kissing my lips quickly.

Again, he received another call. It was the Captain of the private jet, who informed him that everything was ready to leave for Ciudad La Rosa. Rafael walked hand in hand with me to the terrace, explained to everyone that he had to return home, due to an emergency, without going into detail.

He also promised my children that he would be back soon and that when he returned, he needed to talk to them about me. Again, I felt my face flush and honestly, I did not understand these changes within my body. I was behaving like a schoolgirl.

Then, I walked him to the van, where I actually said goodbye to him, as I had longed and wished to do since I saw him in the morning in my children’s room. I gave him a strong and passionate kiss, which will satiate my body, for the duration of his absence.

As he got into the van, I watched him walk around the exit of the mansion and reflected on this thing I am feeling for Rafael Rincon.

“I love him and I want him, just as he loves me. Because I am sure, he loves and desires me intensely. He respects me! He wants the best for me and for my children.”

“My God, I’m in love! For the first time, in my life, I love and I am loved” I thought. Waving goodbye with my hand, when he stopped just before leaving the mansion, not knowing that it will be a long time, without me seeing him again…
