Chapter 268
Rachel
When I woke up the next morning after our marathon sex session, I was sore in all the right places. I love the feeling I get after a good session with Massimo. I feel muscles hurt I didn’t even know I had. I stretched out in bed feeling alive again. I feel like myself again ready to take on the world. The blood pressure machine standing next to my bed reminds me of what happened but I’m not going to think about that. I’m feeling good today and going to take on the world. I hope this feeling last. I took my blood pressure hopefully for the last time. Karen the nurse will come later to check the history and decide if I should keep the blood pressure machine for another few days. Which off course I hoped that it wouldn’t happen. My blood pressure looks normal, thank God. Then I went for a much-needed shower. I couldn’t help but think about what we did last night in this same shower and how hard I came. Jeez I won’t mind for another session like that. ‘Rachel, you have things to do today, stop thinking about sex’ I berated myself. I got out and got dressed in some leggings and an oversize jersey. I might need to go out and buy maternity wear my cloths are not fitting me anymore and I’m not very keen on wearing the cloths we bought in Venice it’s like it has bad energy. Yes, I know I’m crazy but that is how I felt. I went to the kitchen that’s when all the men walked past me, everyone said good morning it was just Marco that stopped “How you feeling today, Rachel?” “Better thank you Marco. I’m going to work on ideas for the interior of the new house today.” “That sounds like fun, just scream if you need me to go to Starbucks.” “Jeez Marco when last did I have Starbuck? I think when you done with Massimo that sounds like a very good idea and if you don’t mind bring me a chocolate muffin as well, I think the twins is in the mood for a chocolate muffin.” I smiled at him and he just laughed “I’ll get the twins some chocolate muffins Rachel.” “Thank you, Marco, you a real star.” He went to Massimo’s office and I made myself a mediocre ice latte and toast with lots of butter on. ‘Jeez Rachel if you go on like this you going to gain much more weight than necessary.’ I thought to myself and then I thought ‘stop being so hard on yourself when we move there will be lost of space to go for walks and runs.’ I took my ice latte and my toast and went to the living room I left it on the table and went to my office and got my laptop. Then I contacted the interior designer and asked her to come over later today to talk about my ideas for the new house. She was nice better than I thought. I went back to the living room and sat on the floor at the table opening my laptop and start searching ideas for the new house. I wanted to start with the twin’s room that just seemed like more fun. I decided I want natural colours for the twin’s rooms with a Safari theme, that can be used for boys and girls. I wanted 2 white and wooden colour cribs with giraffe’s, lions, zebra’s, monkeys and elephants on the wall then we need 2 rocking chairs, Massimo will most definitely help me get the babies to sleep, also in white and wood colour. Bedding should have a safari theme. And there should be space above their cribs for their names. That was something Massimo and I needed to talk about. I made a Pinterest board for the nursery and saved it. Then I thought our room was next but I needed Massimo’s input in our room. I wanted sexy but also a space where we could practice our BDSM habits. I’ll definitely will need Massimo’s input in our room. So, I went on to the other rooms I decided, one room could be a mint colour, bedding white with a touch of mint and there were shutters in front of all the windows that made it easier we don’t need to worry about curtains. I decided to make the rooms different colours then you can say “You can stay in the mint room or the pink room” won’t that sound posh? I laughed at myself, ‘like in really Rachel you thinking about what will sound posh. So, the colour scheme was mint for the one room, light pink for the other and then a light blue for the third room. The 4th will be the nursery and the 5th are our room. I went to my study and took a photo of that and uploaded that to my files of the house. I wanted my study exactly the same. I thought I was doing well; I did all the bedroom except for ours, my study and then she will know what to do with Massimo’s study and conference room. The dinning room, living room and TV room was sorted because we bought their furniture from them. The kitchen, well that was certainly the other problem I know all the appliances where stain and steel so maybe just stick to that. The foyer I got a picture of a huge round table and carpet I liked with a huge bunch of flowers on it. That was what I decided on. The phone rang and I knew it was the doorman. I answered and he told me Karen was here. “Send her up please.” I waited at the door for Karen’s arrival. When the doors open, she was stunned to see me standing at the door waiting for her. “Hi Rachel, shouldn’t you be in bed?” “Hi Karen I am sort of, I’m just sitting in the living room working on some things.” “I don’t want to sound strict but sitting and doing stuff is not bed rest Rachel.” “I need to stay busy Karen and I feel good.” “Fine let’s go check your blood pressure.” Karen said with a bit of an attitude I’m sure the Dr will call me later and also be upset with me. Karen checks my blood pressure and it was normal when she looked at the stats she was impressed. “Your blood pressure only spiked twice. That’s not to bad. Let me call Dr Coolen and make sure we can take the machine.” “Okay, can I get you something so long, tea, coffee?” “No thank you, you need to rest.” I rolled my eyes at her and went back to the living room. I was doing something I enjoyed so why should I lay in bed and besides if we move, I will be much more relaxed which is good for my health. Karen came to me in the living room “Dr said I can take the blood pressure machine but as soon as you not feeling well you need to contact her and she said I should remind you to make an appointment at the therapist.” “Thank you Karen I will do that.” I walked Karen to the lift and apologized that there was no one to help her with the blood pressure machine, she told me I don’t need to apologized she is use to moving machines. When she was safely in the lift and out of sight, I was so relieved, she made me nervous and I didn’t know why. So, I went back to my Pinterest boards. I was busy with the Pool cottage when all the men came out of Massimo’s office. I hoped I would have a change to speak to him but when I got up, I heard his phone rang and then a lot of swearing. I decided to rather leave him to it. It can’t be easy knowing someone you work with for years and became a friend in some way wants to kill you.
