Love by Luck (Short stories)

My pregnant wife 14

Shawn was standing near the door from past ten minutes while gathering courage to knock at the door.

Finally he inhaled deeply and lifted his hand to ring the bell. He could his heart beating fast in his chest and he suddenly felt nervous.

Gloria opened the door and looked surprised after seeing him outside.

"What do you want this time?" She looked annoyed as she had to walk all the way from her comfortable couch and leaving her favorite series.

"Um... I ... can.. I talk to you?" Shawn could not find any words.

" What is it now? I am busy. Come back later." She tried to close the door as her mind was still stuck in the drama she was watching.

Shawn quickly tried to hold the door and in doing so his hand was pressed between door and door frame. He pulled bhus hand and rubbed it with his other hand while Gloria suddenly became worried.

" Are you an idiot?" She held his hand and examined it. It was not injured much. She freed his hand and glared at him who inhaled deeply and looked in her eyes.

"I need to talk. Can I come inside?"

He quickly told her while Gloria thought for a second and then nodded.

She walked inside while Shawn followed her. She stopped in the middle of the living room and turned towards him.

"What do you want to say?"

"Can you sit first?"

Shawn moved forward and made her sit on the couch. He took her hand in his while Gloria was confused over his behavior.

"I am sorry for everything." He sincerely apologized to her who lost all her words to fight with him or insult him.

"Let's get back together."

" Do you think it's that easy?"

Shawn squeezed her hands as he felt her trembling. Her eyes were getting wet and he didn't know what to do next.

"You said we loved each other. I forgot about you but you didn't forget about me. Then why are you letting me go? Don't you love me?"

Gloria inhaled deeply and blinked to push back her tears. She looked at her and smiled sadly.

" I never said that I don't love you."

Shawn smiled softly and put her hands on his cheeks. He kissed her hand and looked at her.

" Then don't let me go. Don't do this. Let's live together and raise our child together. I promise I will never hurt you again because I love you. I fell for you again and now I can see why I fell for you before."

Gloria stared at him as tears rolled down her cheeks. She lifted her hands from his cheeks and buried her face in them while crying.

Shawn suddenly became worried and sat beside her on the couch.

" Hey, are you alright? Did I hurt you? Why are you crying like that?"

He tried to console her who was crying non stop.

Gloria wiped her tears and shook her head.

"It's just my hormones. I am crying because I am happy."

" That's weird but still.... let me give you a hug."

Shawn opened his arms and took Gloria in his embrace who was still crying. He patted her back rather amused by her behavior.

" I want to eat pickles." Gloria told him in between crying while Shawn could not understand the relation between crying and pickles.

He nodded and tightened his hug not letting her go.
