I smiled, realizing which memory I had the warmest.
- I was six. God, I'm still embarrassed," I grinned, and Antonella raised an eyebrow. - Anyway, he came to see me.
- I liked Gerard," I admitted, and she choked, staring at me in shock. - I showed him all my princess dresses, and I had loads of them! - we both laughed. - For all my looks, he found compliments and made me feel embarrassed!
- My brother was angry that I was getting in the way of their play because Gerard had to be distracted a lot. I walked around all day saying I was his wife and when I got tired I fell asleep in his arms.
- God, that's so sweet!
- Mum still laughs about it! - I sighed indignantly. - They even have a picture of that moment.
We continued to eat quietly and discuss everything in the world. I was having such a good time, until I heard the first murmurs.
"Is that Gerard Piquet's fiancée? She's so fat!"
"I can't understand what he sees in her."
"Does she even know the norm in eating?"
I tried not to pay attention, but all I could think about was these people's words.

- I'm home.
Half an hour ago my evening training session ended and I was terribly exhausted. Right now all my thoughts are on the World Championships. It's supposed to be a busy year.
- What's wrong with you?
Melissa looked dejected and he didn't like seeing her like that.
- Hey, look at me," she turned to face him, pulling away from cooking dinner, not sure what he wanted from her. - Now tell me who hurt you. Melissa sighed, it seemed like a hard confession for her.
- Anto and I were at the café this afternoon and I heard people whispering unpleasant things about me," she began to cry and then my heart gave out and I cradled her in my arms. - I tried to ignore it, but when I went grocery shopping and paid for my purchases, people told me it was high time I went on a diet!
She kept crying and honestly, I wanted to shout at these people who don't know who they are. How dare they talk about her like that!
I continued to soothe Melissa until she fell asleep and then finished with dinner so that when she woke up we could eat in peace.
I still need to think about how to stop these conversations. For starters, I need to contact my agent and discuss all this with him.

With Natalya's arrival, life has become a little easier. Even though I am not particularly close to my older sister because of our age, we have always supported each other. I remember I was even the flower girl at her wedding.
We bought the bride and maid of honour dresses and the boys' suits were ordered to match. It was decided to have an offsite registration and then invite all the guests to the restaurant. I hope I make it to the end of the wedding before I die of fatigue.
Due to recent comments about me, now newspapers, Bulgarians and other people are criticising me as well. It was hard for me to wake up, I always looked swollen. My legs were quickly becoming tired and leaky, it seemed that one more step and I would fall over. My back was much worse. It felt as if I had been carrying weights all night. The only good thing was that the morning sickness was gone.
I didn't like looking at myself, but I didn't want to bother anyone. I know Gerard is doing the best he can, but it's definitely not enough to deal with his fans and haters. I've become a target. Now all of Gerard's failures are my failures.
- Look, you shouldn't keep quiet about what's bothering you," Nat said. She's staying with her parents, but she's been helping me all her spare time. She already has two daughters and she definitely knows what she's talking about.
- Any relationship is about trust.
- I'm afraid...what if he stands up for me and then regrets it?
- Honey, I'll never regret it," I propped myself up on the couch.
He was standing in the doorway, seemingly just back from trying on a suit. There was disappointment on his face. I blew it again!
- Your well-being and our baby's well-being come first.
Natalia smiled and looked at me.
- Mel, the girls gave you a present, I left it in my bag, could you bring it to me?
I nodded and went upstairs. My nieces and nephews were sick now so they stayed home. I missed them very much.
- Make her happy Gerard Peake, I don't want to see her suffer," she threatened.
- Of course, you know how I feel about her, right from the start.

I can get at least not a big, but all de response? I understand that now this story is not the most interesting, it is probably much more interesting to read about Ronaldo, Leo or Neymar. But still, support this story, I don't want to leave it like that.
