My Luna And The Devil

" I rolled my eyes and walked to the sofa slowly to take a seat. I looked at him and so his arms outstretched as if to help me. I shook my head. “Don't blame me. I can't have

for putting in the effort." I said with a smile and I munched on my eggs. The flavours filled my mouth. I was just so good. "Come on. It's nothing." She said waving her hand as though it was nothing. "You guys are family. You've sheltered and fed me. I do this so I don't feel guilty about eating so much of your food." She said sitting and taking some food for herself unapologetically. I laughed. Daisy had been extremely helpful and so sweet since she began staying with us. She had called me to ask if she could stay with me and my family for a while until she was able to get her own place. I consented, because I knew she wouldn't want to stay with her mum, even though she stayed not so far from my house. It was so nice having her around. I turned to look at Leo leaning against a pillar watching us intently. "Why are you over dear babe? Your meal will get cold." He joined in and we all had our breakfast, gisting and laughing. As we ate, Leo's mum stepped into the room and the joyful air quckIy turned thick. She walked to the coffee machine and brewed herself a cup. The smell of coffee beans filled the air and soon she was holding a steaming black cup of coffee. She inhaled it first and then drank before turning to face us. I did well to avoid eye contact with her, and ate quietly. I wasn't realy Claudia's favorite person. I tried to respect her as much as I could as she was Leo's mum. But we barely saw eye to eye in things and she had never hid her displeasure about me being Leo's wife. Thankfully, his loved covered for it. She walked to the table and sat down, joining us in our meal. I finished my meal and got up to do the dishes but my husband wouldn't let me. So I thanked Daisy once again and got to finish wrapping the remaining items. Soon enough the others joined me and we finished the wrapping. I took and excuse to go get dressed and I stood at the mirror to look at my stomach. Ever since the pregnancy, I have formed the habit of rubbing my tummy alot. I smiled at my image. I was beginning to show and had added a bit of weight. Leo had said that pregnancy looked good and me. I guess he was right. "El you're gonna be late." Daisy said while knocking my bedroom door. I checked my time and it was 9:30am already. "Uh-oh" I opened the door up for her and held up two dresses. One was a purple flowery knee-length gown and the other was blue and a bit tight but had a peplum at the waist. "The colours first are a no-no for me. They seem too dull. But I think it's best you go with flowery patterned dress. Unless you want your dress to give the news away before you get the chance to." She shrugged. "You're right. I wasn't feeling the blue anyway." "You're still getting dressed? What took you so long? Leo seemed tired of waiting for you. He has warmed the car and he's just standing around, looking sad because he doesn't wanna rush you." I smiled, remembering how I had spent a lot of time in front of the mirror. "Okay okay. It will just be a minute." ~~~ It was wrong timing but I suddenly felt weak and tired. I yawned as I drove to my mum's house. Maybe it was the food, because I ate heavily and right now a rest was all I needed. I just needed to get to my mum's place first of all. Or maybe it was the pregnancy giving another of it's symptoms. The screeching sound of a vehicle hitting on brakes brought me out of my dizziness. I swerved immediately, noticing a vehicle had halted by the side of the road, because I had almost collided with him having closed my eyes for just a moment. "What was that?" I screamed in shock. I tried applying brakes but it didn't work. "Son-of-a..." My heart was damn right ready to jump into my mouth because of how hard it was beating in my chest. I put my ha
