He is my first love
Elena's point of view
My head rested on his chest. "Derek," I said. "Thank you for everything," I expressed my gratitude.
"Thank you? What exactly did I do to get it? ", Derek asked. "You did a lot for me, Derek," I told him. "You are my wife, and the most important thing is that I love you," he said. I smiled and lowered my head. "Hey," Derek said as he grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him.It is not necessary for you to express gratitude to me. You do not need to say anything since I am aware of the facts, "Derek said.
"I'm so selfish, right Derek?" I asked. "Are you?" he asked.
Derek's point of view.
Elena, are you truly selfish? No, I don't believe so. I think I am the one who is self-centered. Despite the fact that I knew everything, I insisted on keeping you with me. I have nothing to do since I really need you.
"I knew the truth when you first kissed me. You wanted to show him how much you care for me, didn't you? ", I said.
A flashback
""And you," Paul replied, looking at Derek, "Elena only loves me." Did she give you a kiss? She, on the other hand, always kisses"... But then Elena shouted, "Shut up, Paul!" She wrapped her hands around Derek's neck and kissed him in front of everyone.
The flashback is over.
I lowered my head. "I knew you loved him from the beginning," Derek remarked. "I'm sorry, Derek," I replied, tears streaming down my face. "But believe me, I don't want to hurt you, "I added.
When I tried to accept you, that incident came between us, and I admitted my mistakes.
Derek forced me to face him in the eyes.
"But, Elena, I'm selfish. Please don't ask me why. I'm not going to tell you anything because I'm afraid I won't be able to", replied Derek. "I know you love him, but you also love me. Maybe you won't be able to forget him since he was your first love. I don't want you to love me the way you love him."
"I don't give a damn about anything. It's fine if you love me less. However, all I want to do is stay with you, ", Derek said. I nodded and cried as I responded, "Yes, indeed. but I'm s-", I was about to tell him sorry, but Derek stopped me. "Honey, you know what you can't measure: love. Everyone has a love for something. But, possibly, someone has more. They can't love them equally, though. But, they love them, "Derek said.
"The most important thing to me is that you love me. I don't need to know how much you love me, though ", he replied, a smile on his face. I nodded and smiled. I closed my eyes and said, "thank you." I felt his lips on me within a split second. He gave me such a passionate kiss.
After four years,
Pavlina's 7th birthday is today. She is now seven years old. Pavlina called her "moma" "Happy birthday, honey. Come on, get up! ", I urged. She said, "Where is my cake?" "It's not a surprise, honey," I remarked as I kissed her on the cheek. "But that's my cake, and nothing will happen if I see it first. Please show me, "Pavlina said. No, I said with a nod. Suddenly, Derek and Aaron entered the room. Aaron is our son's name. He has now reached the age of three. I approached him and took Aaron with me. Pavlina said, "Brother is here." Aaron smiled at her. "Baby," Derek said. "Daddy," Pavlina said as she dashed over to Derek. Pavlina stretched her arm and said, "Pick me up, daddy." Derek carried her and called her "my little princess." She asked, "Where is my present daddy?" "Give me a kiss first," Derek demanded. Pavlina gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Derek said, "Let's see my baby's present." "Yeye, daddy, I love you the most," Pavlina stated. "Daddy loves you too, my dear," Derek and Pavlina said as they walked out of the room.
Elena was busy decorating the house. Tonight, they hosted a party.
On the other hand,
Pavlina and Derek were too busy unwrapping the gifts to see. "When are we going to unwrap everything, Daddy? It's enough, "Pavlina said.
I replied with a smile, "baby, don't be worried. We'll have it done quickly," but then a maid appears and says, "Sir, someone has sent this present again." It's just for you and little Ms., " she said .
Derek accepted the present and stated, "All right, you can go now."
Pavlina approached with a sense of wonder and excitement. "What is that, daddy?" she asked.
I know what this is and who sent it to me. Every year, you give gifts. Pavlina asked, "Daddy, who is it?" I gave her a kind smile but remained silent.
"Strangers always give me gifts. Is that my buddy? "She said. Suddenly, a maid addressed me as "sir." When I glanced at her, I realized what she was trying to express. "OK, I understand it," I answered, with a nod. Pavlina said, "Daddy, did that stranger send a truckload of gifts again?"
What am I going to say to her now? She is maturing slowly. She'll eventually figure it out. I said quietly, "Please don't tell your mother, okay? It's a private matter between us."
"Yes, daddy. It's our little secret, "she said.
