You will help me, right?

16

I spent the whole day studying her apartment, since it was inconvenient to examine every object in her presence. Fortunately, the rooms were spacious and I could easily move around in a wheelchair. I was interested in getting to know her from photographs, certificates, even from the books that were on her shelves. I realized that she was multifaceted and interested in everything.

The refrigerator was full of food, the hostess had stocked up on everything and there were options for what to cook for dinner. I knew that she would come home tired and would not be up to cooking. So without thinking twice, I decided to fry potatoes and cook meat. I am not a chef, I usually cooked only for myself. And surprising with something masterpiece is not for me.

I looked at the time, it was already past 7, she was not there yet, so she had stopped at the supermarket. I set out the cutlery, tidied up after my cooking. The only thing left was for Lena to come home.

I heard the sound of the lock opening and drove out into the hallway. The door opened and I saw Lena with bags of fruit and vegetables. As soon as she was about to take a step into the apartment, a guy in a hood appeared behind her and started pushing her in.

- Hey, what are you doing? - I had already started to drive up to her, when she twisted away from his hands and turned her back to me. - Ilya?

Then I realized that it was her brother. It was strange that he appeared in our lives.

- What are you doing here? - I could tell from Lena's voice that she was scared.

- What kind of guy is this? Have you started taking work home? - I had a feeling that he was high. - Lena, I need money. And urgently!

- I told you that I would not help you anymore! Forget the way into my house! - At the same time, she took careful steps towards me.

- Have you completely lost your fear? You understand that they will come to you later, because I will immediately tell you your address in case of threats. In a good way, give me the money, everything you have, and I will leave.

- No! And this is my last word!

His face was distorted by a grimace of anger. A few steps and Ilya grabs Lena by the throat. I acted on pure instincts. I leaned on the armrests of my chair, raised my body and moved my leg. Myself. This is the first conscious movement after so much time. Holding on to the wall, I stood on my feet.

I did not feel anything, the shock allowed me to act on instincts. Fortunately, they were standing close to the wall, leaning on it, I took a step, then another. Finding myself very close to them, I stretched out my hand and without even straining, hit his head against this very wall.

Lena, her face red from lack of oxygen, looks at me, then at her brother, who, clutching his head, slides to the floor. I wasn't even going to help him, and I wouldn't have let Lena either.

- Oh, my God, Igor! You went yourself, yourself... - then her words were replaced by a sob, and she burst into tears. - I was so scared, sit back in the chair. You can't get up so suddenly and stay on your feet for too long.

- I don't care, I was worried about you. When he came in, I didn't even say a word to him. I didn't want to get involved in your squabbles, - he hugged her even tighter. - Well, I don't feel confident on my feet. Let me sit down anyway, I don't want to fall on you.

Lena rolled the chair over and slowly sank into it.

- Get out of my apartment. This is my last warning. Show up again and I'll call the police!

- I'll be back, Lenka, and not alone. You and your friend won't like it either.

Ilya barely gets up from the floor and goes to the door. The loud bang was a hint of our loneliness.

- How are you?

- Lena, your own brother just almost strangled you, and you're worried about me. Better tell me how you feel?

- I don't understand yet. I'm in shock from what's happening. And I'm very glad that you were able to stand up on your own and take a few steps. Of course, I assumed that you would need some kind of emotional push for this, but not like this.

Lena leaned over and kissed me so passionately, as if she was trying to show with this kiss how truly scared she was of everything.

- Let's go to the kitchen, otherwise I won't be able to tear myself away from you completely.

They locked the door, took the bags of groceries and went to the kitchen.

- Have you cooked dinner? I thought we would cook together.

- I knew that you would come home tired. Of course, these are not delicacies, but I tried.

After dinner, full and tired, we went to bed. I couldn't just lie next to her. I needed to feel her next to me, that I wouldn't lose her. I pulled her in, hugged her with one hand, and with the other I ran my hand along hers on my chest.

- It was delicious, I'm so full. Thank you.

- I'll learn to cook and make you happy every day, - he kissed her on the top of her head and closed his eyes.

- You know, I wanted to share some news with you today. I think it's perfect for today.

- Mmm, what kind of news is it?

She was silent for a couple of seconds, and then said with such tenderness in her voice:

- You're going to be a dad, - and was silent. Waiting for my reaction.

The fact that I was shocked is an understatement. I was silent for a minute or so, collecting my thoughts.

- You're not joking right now, are you? - she simply shook her head in response. - Lenka, God, how I love you. I'm so glad we're having a baby. I can't put it into words.

She raised her head, looking at me with a happy smile on her face.

- You can show me this. I don't mind.

And I began to hug her even tighter, and kiss her even sweeter. My hands wandered all over her body. Here she is sitting on me, running her hands over my face. The kisses do not stop. I almost tore her T-shirt off. And then my hands stopped on her chest.

- We can continue, right? It will not harm the child?

- As long as we are not forbidden, so you can not stop.

And I did not stop. How could I not please her. After all, she is my most favorite woman in the world.
