Chapter 8: Relationship?

Two months had passed since the positive pregnancy test, a tiny line that had transformed my life.

It was a whirlwind of emotions, a mix of fear and excitement, but above all, an overwhelming sense of love for the tiny human growing inside me. Luck, the father of my child, had been a rock throughout. 

In the quiet of our living room, I was curled up on the couch, lost in the pages of a well-worn book.

The afternoon sun streamed through the window, casting a warm glow over the room.

Luck, sensing my need for comfort, appeared beside me with a soft, plush blanket, gently draping it over my legs. It was a small gesture, but it spoke volumes.

It was a gesture of care, of his increasing awareness of my changing needs, of his love for the little life we were creating.

The weight of the blanket, the comforting warmth against my skin, mirrored the comforting presence of Luck beside me. He watched me with a soft smile, a look of wonder in his eyes that mirrored the awe I felt within myself.

In those moments, surrounded by the quiet hum of our shared reality, we were a family, bound by the invisible thread of love, anticipation, and the promise of a future filled with the laughter and joy of parenthood.

In the tapestry of life, Luck had woven an intricate design, and I found myself ensnared in its enigmatic threads.

His gaze lingered upon me, a penetrating beam that seemed to illuminate the very depths of my soul. Flushed with a warmth that spread through me like wildfire, I averted my eyes, unable to withstand the intensity of his scrutiny.

My heart throbbed in my chest, a relentless rhythm that echoed the unspoken desires that simmered between us.

He was a celestial force, a harbinger of both fortune and destiny, and his presence ignited a longing within me that I had never dared to acknowledge before. Like a moth drawn to a flame, I was irresistibly pulled towards him, my every fiber yearning for his touch, his embrace.

Yet, as I stole a sidelong glance at his enigmatic features, a flicker of doubt crossed my mind. Why did Luck, the elusive and capricious deity, choose to bestow his attention upon me?

Was it a mere whim, a fleeting moment of serendipity, or was there a deeper purpose at play?

As I contemplated the enigmatic bond that seemed to connect us, I couldn't help but wonder what the future held, and whether Luck's gaze would continue to illuminate my path or fade into the shadows of uncertainty.

"You seems to lost in words, are you okay?" Luck asked, his is cold, deep but concerning.

"I-... I'm fine, I'm fine." I said nervously, then I looked back at my book that I was reading.

He move closer to me and put his head against my thigh. He looked up. And spoke something I would never expect. 

As Luck's warm head pressed against my thigh, his piercing blue eyes met mine, carrying an unexpected weight.

A moment of silence stretched between us before he spoke, his voice soft and trembling, "I can't keep it in anymore." My heart skipped a beat as he continued, "I've always felt this... this pull towards you, a connection that I can't deny. I love you, Violet. I love your kindness, your intelligence, and the way you make me feel."

Time seemed to stand still as the words washed over me, their impact echoing through my soul.

Luck, my loyal companion, had always been there for me, but now he was revealing a side of himself I had never imagined.

A forbidden love, a confession that dared to challenge the boundaries of our stranger relationship. 

I covered my face with my hands. What do he mean by that... I... I dont know what to say. Whys he just laying on my thigh, and a sudden confession burst out of his mouth.. What do I do... I do have feelings for him too, but I dont know how to reply... 

"I know what you feel, Violet. J-... Just say something..." He looks away, trying to hide his sadness if he ever get rejected. 

He sat up and look back at me, "I'm in love to you too..." I blushed as I let out the words that I'm keeping for weeks.
