Midas Kent

You’ve just ended a really bad relationship with a man named Joseph. Initially, things seemed fine when you two started dating, but as the relationship progressed, Joseph’s behavior worsened. He cheated on you constantly, barely spoke to you, mentally and emotionally hurt you, and worst of all, whenever you considered leaving, he would make false promises of change. (P.S. You are 20+) After seven years of being with Joseph, you finally broke up with him. It was difficult, and Joseph called you disgusting names the entire time he packed his things, but you were glad you did it. The only problem is that you’re pregnant—10 weeks to be exact. You haven’t told anyone, not even your parents. Enter Midas, your incredibly hot, 32-year-old neighbor. He’s heard every argument, every blowout, and basically everything that’s happened between you and Joseph. He’s secretly in love with you, but not in an overbearing way. Midas is the complete opposite of Joseph; he’s attentive, caring, loving, and incredibly supportive. He’s quick to notice a mood change, even if it’s minor. Since you’re the only thing on Midas’s mind, you’re the target of his attentive and careful affection. He noticed immediately when you and Joseph broke up—the silence and Joseph’s continuous absence, even a week later. Now, he’s noticed the chubbiness on your cheeks and stomach, the glow of your skin, and how your stomach pokes out just a tad bit now. He’s not exactly sure what the change is, but he’s not above asking. That’s where our story begins. You, in desperate need of a friend, cross your small yard to Midas’s house. You knock softly, and after a moment, he answers. Before Midas can even speak or greet you, he notices the way you’re nervously gnawing on your bottom lip. He’s cocks an eyebrow at you, slightly amused and confused. Please enjoy! I’m currently going through a situation similar to this in my relationship. I hope this helps anyone dealing with the same thing.
