CHAPTER 50

After their dessert and more talks, it was time to send Selena back home. Even though she was alone, she doubted if her husband was comfortable having her sleep away from home.
She knew just how much Sean loves Selena and how protective he was of her and their love just inspires her all the time. Their kind of love gave her the courage to be where she was now, happy with Edward.
The man she loved since she was young and the man who was making her happy and smile each and single day. She was glad that she confessed to him and told him how she felt otherwise he would have never known and she will be pinning for someone who had no knowledge of the issue at all.
She waved her friend goodbye as she got into her car. It was going to be difficult to see her soon but she will always call and talk to her. Seeing how busy she had been these past few days because of the commercial that was suppose to hit the screen in a couple of days, she will probably be resting at home while she waits for her husband to return back.
Watching the SUV leave, she thought to herself what it will be like if Edward really proposes and if she starts a family with him. Will it be like her friend’s or unique?
To be honest she was just scared that what she has with Edward will change once they got married. She was really scared of that huge commitment. She had seen a lot of marriages failing and she didn’t want to be part of it.
“Don’t stress yourself my child. I bet that he just loves you the same way as you do,” her mother said as she stood by her side which took her by surprise.
“Mom, what are you talking about?” she asked her, still in shock.
“You know what I am talking about. I know that he was stubborn at first but I can tell that he really do love you. So just like the way you went for it back then you should do the same this same,” her mother advised her.
“You know I love you right?”
“I know darling. So, tell me, do you want to marry him?” her mother asked and she smiled at her, blushing.
“I wouldn’t mind. Should I ask him?” she asked her mother and this time she looked at her and she could tell that was a disapproving look.
“That is something I will not encourage. Let him do the proposing this time, if I hear you do that, I will cut off your limbs,” her mother said and she burst out laughing.
“I will keep that in mind mom and I will not do it, I promise,” she told her and she meant it.
“Good then. Let’s go inside, the drama is about to start,” her mother said pulling her inside. It was going to be a long ride, she could feel it.

Selena was so tired and she just couldn’t stop wondering why her best friend was making her go through all this torture from morning until now. Her husband had been weird for a week now and she could tell that he was keeping some secrets from her and she just couldn’t grasp what exactly. Was he very uncomfortable with her belly being that huge now?
She could barely walk without the help of a wheel chair and to think that she was only carrying one child, it felt very weird. She looked at herself in the mirror as the makeup artist applied some light makeup on her face.
She looked at Vivian who couldn’t stop grinning from joy, she was enjoying this and she wasn’t even telling her why she was spending so much effort in making her look like that.
“So, are you not going to tell me even now?” she asked her friend one more time and Vivian shook her head in response.
“It is a secret darling. A woman should spend some great time dedicated to her beauty and well-being,” Vivian answered her and Selena grimaced at that.
When she woke up that morning, she found Vivian waiting for her at her house and she didn’t remember calling her friend to her house the previous day. Vivian told her that she wanted to take her out and her husband agreed to it immediately without even a single complaint.
Sean was even so generous he gave them his black card which Vivian couldn’t stop but swipe since morning for the massages and beauty treatments as well as her food.
It was now towards four in the afternoon and she was tired of being stuck in the massage parlor. It was a good thing that she was already dressed but for what occasion, she had no idea.
“We are done Mrs. Sawyer,” the lady said and she smiled at her.
She really looked magnificent, she admitted to herself as she stood on her tow feet. Somehow the dress was as if it was designed solely for her and she felt beautiful wearing it. She looked at Vivian and gave her a smile. She felt really thankful for the effort her friend put in making this whole day like this despite being tired.
“You can say it out loud, you know!” Vivian said and she found herself tearing up.
“Thank you, I love this look,” Selena said and her friend gave her a hug.
“You are welcome, now that we are done here how about we leave and grab you something to eat,” Vivian suggested and Selena found herself laughing.
“That will be a good idea and while we are on it, you might as well just slip the beans,” Selena said hoping that her friend might indulge and tell her what was really happening.
“We will get to that some time later but for now darling, let’s get you that burger you have been craving the whole afternoon,” Vivian said as she hooked her arms with hers.
She gave up on that idea seeing how her friend was refusing to tell her what was really going on. She suddenly have a thought, maybe this was all her husband’s doing. Maybe he wanted to surprise her or something.
That was the only explanation she could come up with. Since they had put a lot effort in it, she was going to see to the end just what exactly these people were plotting but she had a feeling that she already liked it.
