A Love From The Past

Chapter 2.1:The Past Hurts

Rose is interrupted from her memories when the driver calls her to say that they have arrived at the requested destination. She pays for the ride, he helps her with the bags and she with her son in her sleeping lap, they go to the apartment where her sister bought it for her.

The Past hurts, but the biggest pain of all for her is precisely the fact that her son doesn't have a father figure in her life. But if he spoke, he could certainly even have lost his son and thus not live with his little angel.

Upon entering the apartment, everything was clean and organized. She put her son in his room decorated in the theme of motorcycles and cars as he always liked. She went to her room and finally took a relaxing bath and as she lay down on her huge bed, she stared at the ceiling thinking about how everything would be after her return to the country.

That night, neither she nor Peter fell asleep. Both thought of each other. He buried in his office drinking several shots of whiskey and she tossed and turned in bed.

At the first rays of sunlight, her door was opened, a beautiful boy with blue eyes like her father enters running and jumping on her bed to wake her up. Little did he imagine, that his mother hadn't slept last night.

She genuinely smiles at her son who looks at her curious to see a dark color under her eyes.

- Mom, what is this?

Pointing to his eye with her tiny fingers, she smiles and answers him gently by giving his little nose a light squeeze.

- It's something adults have when they can't sleep.

- Um, you didn't sleep?

- I'm fine dear. Shall we have coffee? - She dismisses getting up and extending her arms to him.

He opens his little arms and wraps himself around Rose's body, she takes him in her arms and they walk to the kitchen where there is a figure that they haven't seen in years. It was Loren Hills, the former housekeeper of her family's mansion.

She was preparing breakfast for her little girl. When he found out that she was back, he immediately tried to dedicate himself only to her, not thinking twice before leaving that immense house and family that turned their backs on her when she most needed it, but that did not admit that there was a divorced woman in the family and much more. less promiscuous.

- Lolo, good morning!

To the lady with the gray hair, wide hips, strong body, see yourself hearing your voice. Both were thrilled. The dark green lady's eyes were translucent by her forming tears. She smiled. When she releases her little one from her lap, placing him sitting in the chair, she walks to her lovely housekeeper who, after the death of her mother, was the one who felt her absence and a hug is given after so many years away from each other. .

- My girl, I miss you. There is an even more beautiful woman.

- Oh Lolo I miss you too my beloved. Amelia didn't tell me you'd be here.

They go towards the table hugging and smiling, and Loren's eyes meet the little boy sitting at the table looking at them.

- Come Lolo, meet my little angel.

She nods.

- Lolo, this is Kevin. Kevin, this is the person Mom sees as a second mother Loren. Do you remember talking about her?

He nods his little head in confirmation and smiles at Loren and Loren with a hand on her lips, looks tenderly at him.

- Hello little one, I'm Loren Hill, but you can call me Lolo.

- Hello Grandma Lolo.

Tears of happiness stream down Lolo's face. She could never expect that a small boy with blond hair and blue eyes would call them grandma. Soon she, who had never had children, wasting her youth dedicating herself to Rose's family for years.

She hugs the little boy, walks away back to the kitchen and returns with their breakfast, to which Rose insists that she sit with them. There they talk about several things and after Kevin leaves the table and goes to his room to watch cartoons, the two talk about several things. Things like that, he couldn't hear or know.

- My girl, after everything you told me, why did you come back at all?

- Lolo, I can tell you. I came back on Peter's company proposal. He doesn't know it's me, famous jewelry designer Lena Brooks. And I came back to take revenge on your mother, my stepmother and my dear friend Jamile. I came to clear my name. And with that, return to New York without even looking back.

Loren sighs. She puts her hand on Rose's under the table. Give it a light pat with a squeeze. She warns her about Peter and his son.

- You don't think about Kevin and Peter meeting?

- Not. He does not deserve this gift.

- My girl, he was not to blame for any of that frame. He was as much a victim as you are. Who is guilty in this story are those snakes. Even her mother-in-law was deceived by Jamile and that slut of her mother. Don't make your child suffer with the father's absence. I see in your eyes that you still love him.

She denies it with deep sadness.

- Lolo please. He for me will never know about Kevin's existence. He had the opportunity to believe in me, but he chose to throw me in the gutter without looking back. Other than that as much as I love him, the resentment and heartache is greater than any other feeling. I can't forgive him.

She sighs feeling defeated. You know very well that your girl is very stubborn.

- He is well. Let's change the subject then. Why did you put your grandmother's name and your mother's maiden name?

- Because I already had that as a goal. Go back and clear my name and return to my old life in New York. And you can come with us Lolo when it's all over.

She sighs and smiles.

- Ah, my girl, I really wanted to. But I won't go with you. I'm already too old. Now go. You need to get ready to find your sister. She asked me to remind you to meet at that coffee shop you always went to.

She goes to her Lolo, giving her a kiss on her cheek and smiling, nodding knowing that she will meet her sister.

- Lolo, I'll get ready. I'll leave Kevin here because I need to talk to her seriously about some things he can't know. But don't think I forgot to convince you to go with us to New York, because I won't give up.

- This well baby. I know how stubborn you are, but something tells me you're not going back there.

She shakes her head in denial laughing and goes to her room. Loren sighs because she knows her girl won't leave. She had come back and with that, her true place was the place where she would not go out anymore.
