“It's a wonderful place and it's huge. Where is it?”
“Yes it is. It’s in Aspen, Colorado “
“Wonderful place. Now I understand why you like it.”
“I made an offer on it. Actually, the plans were to share the property with Max by making changes and living together. But then you came into the picture... I don't know what plans you have for the future, but I imagined Angel playing and having fun here. The schools are fabulous as well…“I stop waiting for him to laugh at me. But his hand caresses my thigh smiling.
“Did you imagine Angel playing there?”he asks in a low voice. I nod.“Actually, my imagination has gone far beyond.”
“Oh yes?! Well tell me.”
“Promise not to run away.”
“Nah, I'm too tired to run away.”
“You’re not funny at all. I'm serious, by the way.”
“I promise, cross my heart.”
“Okay, then, I pictured our kids and Max's children playing on the lawn while we sunbathe by the pool. And Angel was swimming in it.”
“And how many babies exactly did we have?”
“4,”I say covering my face with my hands. He takes them off smiling.
“You are beautiful when you blush. Only 4? Wouldn't you like more?”
“Are you making fun of me?”
“Absolutely not, baby. It's a fairytale place and hearing you say that you thought about my daughter makes me love you even more, but I don't think it's possible.”
I caress his face and straddle him. “So wouldn't you mind living there with us?”
“Absolutely not and Max is nice.”I kiss him and he holds me tight against him.
When I move away his eyes are more intense. We look at the photos and plan some little things a bit.
“In 5 months, I will be home and I will be able to help you with the move. But you have to give me your bank details. “
I turn around“What for?”
“What do you mean what for?! We are buying our house.”
“Believe me, I know. But what would you need my bank details for?”
“Baby, if it’s going to be home, I want to contribute. It is our first major purchase together.”
“Yes, but…”
“But nothing, there is no discussion. And don't say you have to tell Max because you will see that he will agree, too”
“Okay.”
“Ah, and I would like, if you want it too, for you to meet my daughter.”I looked at him curiously.“On person. I already told Nellie that it will happen sooner or later. I will give you their contact details. You will decide when.”
“Are you serious?”
“Yes, of course.”
