Let Me Love You Again

Chapter 13

Maya

The ceremony was short and intense. I stood by Jess’s side the whole time, while the two exchanged promises of eternal love, both happy and with clear eyes.

Once the ceremony was over, we all moved into a hotel room that Andrew and Jess had booked for the party.

I went into the room and looked around, looking for my mother and Axel.

"Are you looking for me?" I heard Nate’s voice behind my back.

"Oh, absolutely not," I said quietly.

"If you’re looking for your mother, I just saw her walking to the bathroom with a stroller and a not very happy child," he said, crossing his arms at the chest.

"Why do you keep such an eye on my mother?" I asked.

Nate squeezed himself in the shoulders before Sarah all t**s approached him and drew his attention completely, between her chirping and winking, Nate was immediately kidnapped.

Idiot.

I turned and went to the bathroom, looking for my mother and child who I found lying on a changing table, half naked and laughing while my mother spoke to him and changed his diaper.

"Hey baby boy," I said, getting close to him.

"Oh he couldn’t have picked a better time to get dirty," my mother said, throwing her dirty diaper in the bucket.

I took her place and started cleaning Axel with towels while he laughed and clapped his hands.

"Mom go to Dad, I saw him pale in the face, your method didn’t work" I said with a shiver "I’ll take care of Axel" I continued as I bent down to give a slight kiss on my baby’s belly.

My mother sighed and nodded before coming out of the bathroom and leaving me alone with my little man.

I continued to gently clean it and then threw the wipes in the bucket, and then took a little baby powder and put it on his private parts.

Every once in a while, I would bend over and kiss his belly, or tickle him, make him laugh. There was nothing more beautiful in the world than the genuine laughter of my child.

I took a new diaper and opened it and started putting it on him.

"Maya?" heard Nate’s voice, I rolled my eyes.

"I’m here," I said as I was putting the diaper on Axel.

Nate went in and shut the door, leaning on it with his back and looking at me.

"Do you know you’re in the ladies' room?" I asked him without looking at him.

I grabbed Axel and put him on the changing table, holding him by the hips while he grabbed my cheeks with his delicate hands.

"Do you need a hand?" he asked.

"Nop" I answered without looking at him

I put Axel back on the changing table and tied his leotard, and then I covered it with calm while he looked at me with his blue eyes, waiting and with patience.

I finished dressing him and took him in my arms and he immediately grabbed me and looked for his food source, grabbing the thin straps of the dress.

"God Axel, be quiet," I said, trying to get him out of my dress.

"Well, I can understand him," Nate commented.

I went up to the bag and searched inside for the bottle with the milk, finding it completely empty.

"s**t," I said, remembering I didn’t have time to fill more.

I took the bag on my shoulder and walked to the door that Nate was kindly holding open. I had to find a more discreet place where I could use the breast pump and fill the bottles, but Axel didn’t think so. He began to cry desperately clinging to my dress, looking for the breasts in every way.

"s**t" I repeated looking around.

"Come," said Nate, and he went to a small room.

I followed him as Axel continued to despair in my arms.

The room was circular and had a large table in the center, while the sides had some armchairs and a leather sofa. I sat in an armchair while Nate closed the door, and immediately Axel clung to the dress again.

Luckily the neckline allowed me to release a breast that Axel immediately attached with voracity, sucking as if he had not eaten for days.

I grabbed a towel in my bag and covered myself with it, so it also covered Axel’s face while Nate sat on another chair.

"It’s nothing I haven’t seen before," he said, snorting.

"You’re not allowed to look," I said without looking up.

"I don’t remember you being so modest," Nate laughed.

I looked up as Axel slowly dozed off in my arms. Nate sat comfortably on the armchair, his legs stretched, his ankles crossed as well as the fingers of his hands resting on his abdomen, while his gaze was focused on Axel hidden by the towel, as well as my breasts uncovered.

"How do you know when he’s hungry? Or when he needs to be changed? Or every time he cries, you stick him to your boob? In this case, I understand why he’s always with his hands stuck under your dress, I’d do it too," he said.

"Do you ever hear yourself when you talk?" I said surprised.

"Continuously," he replied.

"And you’re never ashamed of what you say?"

"Why should I? I’m just being honest!" he said very seriously "So?".

"You notice it every time. It’s like there are different kinds of crying. One for the food, one for the diaper, and one just to attract attention," I said, detaching a sleeping Axel from my breast, "You simply notice it," I continued as I rearranged my breasts inside the cup of my dress with one hand.

"You’re amazing," Nate almost whispered.

"What?"

"Nothing"

I stood up and held Axel while he slept calmly, put a hand on his head, and took the pacifier in one of the pockets of the bag, I had put it inside a small case after having sanitized it properly. I approached it to his mouth and he grabbed it immediately with his small lips, sucking sleepy and quietly.

I went to grab the bag, but Nate preceded me, "I help you," he said.

"I can do it alone" I replied almost offended.

"I know you can, but I want to help you anyway," Nate said by putting his bag on his shoulder and opening the door.

By the time we got back into the room, people were already sitting in their seats and the waiters were starting to serve the dishes. I looked for my mother and reached her, always having Nate on my tail.

"Where’s the stroller?" I asked my mother.

"We left it in the Hall, if you want, I’ll go and get it, while you sit down, they have already served the first scope and you have to eat before it gets cold, I keep him," said my mother stretching her arms.

"Never mind, I can keep him until I’m done, then I’ll go get the stroller. Thank you, Mom." I leaned over and kissed her on the cheek before I went to my table and sat down.

Jess had me at the table with Lucas and the other bridesmaid and the witnesses. I sat down and held Axel snuggled up in my chest, he didn’t even wake up. So, with one arm I held it while with the other free I fed slowly.

Nate left my bag on my chair before he went to take his place.

At one point, during dinner, my father brought me the stroller, in which I placed Axel who continued to sleep blissfully as if all that music and noise did not exist at all.

The rest of the party passed quietly, even if I caught Nate spying on me several times, he looked at me carefully and, every time I caught him, he looked away pretending nothing.

Every time he looked at me or I looked at him, Lucas winked cheerfully at me.

At a certain point, in the midst of the party, I walked away and threw as much milk as I could, so as to fill some bottles.

After I had finished filling the bottles, I went back to the table, and allowed myself a few glasses of wine.

Late in the evening, my mother advised me that she and dad would leave and they brought with them Axel who had awakened in time to take some pictures with the bride and groom and to take some attention.

I said hello to my parents and my baby and then I was dragged to the track by Lucas and Devon, not before I got dragged to the bar and had a shot of something thrown down.

On the track Jess and Andrew were taken by a fury that seemed as if they had not realized that they were in the middle of a wedding, theirs to be precise. They rubbed against each other, touched each other, and kissed each other passionately.

A couple of times I had to reject the advances of some man, who tried to make me dance or simply put his hands on my hips.

At some point, I didn’t even know how to stand on those stilts I had as shoes, and above all, I was completely sweaty, So I walked over to the bar and sat on the stool next to Lucas, and he immediately placed in front of me a shot of tequila that I sent down without thinking for a second.

"Play it cool, mommy," Devon laughed.

"I haven’t had a drink in about a year and I think I’m already drunk," I laughed.

"At least you keep your panties up, but someone doesn’t," Lucas said pointing his head at the track.

I turned around and saw a very sober Sarah throwing herself at a Nate with no jacket and no tie, with his shirt unbuttoned at the first buttons.

Sarah begins to move against Nate in provocative mode, turning her back and rubbing her butt against his crotch, looking for some reaction as Nate looks at her in surprise, as if he’s trying to figure out what’s going on.

"Another round!" I shouted to the bartender turning to the bar again.

After a few minutes, maybe a few hours, Nate sat down next to me and we started talking, I don’t remember exactly what. We danced, we laughed, and we had fun all night long until late at night.

When the evening was over, we greeted the happy couple and saw them disappear to the elevators and headed to their suite to celebrate the wedding night.
