Love vs Lust
Pilar laid her head on the soft pillow trying to fall asleep, to no avail. David had gone to work and Theresa had stopped by offering to spend a few hours with her.
Pilar was grateful, but she rather be up on her feet. She had promised David that she would stay in bed for his sake. He was overprotective of her and she just could not say no to him. Pilar was already eight months into her pregnancy.
It was amazing after all these years and all the children that she gave birth to, that she still felt new at this.
Pilar missed Martin so much and she cherished the family that the two had built together. But, after all those years of waiting for him, she knew he was not coming back. Pilar had gotten to know David; the stranger that came to Harmony three years ago. Now the two were happily married after he had given up on Grace.
"Mama do you need anything" Theresa's voice startled Pilar out of her thoughts.
"No hija I'm fine, thank-you" Pilar smiled at her daughter as she stepped into view.
"Well if you're sure" Theresa said leaning against the door frame. "I'm going to the book Café to grab a bite to eat. Are you going to be okay"
"Yes Theresita. I'll be fine." Pilar assured her. "I can take care of myself. I don't need you to baby-sit me."
"I know that mama" Theresa said walking into the room and kissing her mother on the forehead. "I just want to take care of you, like you used to take care of me."
Pilar smiled at her daughter and squeezed her hands. "I know hija, and I love you for it."
"I love you mama." Theresa said before heading out the door. Pilar watched her leave and smiled once again before laying her head back down on the pillow. She closed her eyes and finally succumbed to a peaceful sleep.
