- Mary! Heck! You only make it worse! It's all this damn pendant! Stop! Just wish me to be a man again!<br />- God, Erica, that's enough already! What nonsense? I absolutely do not understand you. What happened to you all of a sudden ?! And why should I wish this to you. I don't want to think so, but your pregnancy must have a terrible effect on you!<br />- Heck! I'm not pregnant! And I'm not Erica! This is some kind of horror! I'm telling you! I'm your husband Eric! Don't you remember me at all? I ... damn, this belly is just unbearable.<br />- Oh, poor thing ... Sandra, I understand you. Although I myself have never been pregnant (Mary paused, remembering her infertility, but then smiled again to calm her friend), but I imagine that this is not an easy test for every girl ..<br />- But I'm not a girl! Heck. Just wish that I became your husband and man again. Is it really that difficult ?! Please honey ...<br />- Please stop! I don't want you to be my husband. I'm happy with Frank and we have a great family. I don&#8217;t know what came over you, but it&#8217;s not funny anymore. Are you in trouble with Greg?<br />- Oh ... shit, right .. Greg ... shit ... This is all some kind of madness.<br />...<br />It has been almost several years since Eric inherited this pendant from his grandfather. Once he put it away along with that note about the magical properties of the pendant, which was in that box and the meaning of which he did not take seriously and forgot about it. He found the pendant by accident when he and his wife were packing up for vacation and decided to take it with him to give Mary.<br />The vacation was coming to an end and today was the last day of their vacation on the southern beaches. All in all, everything was great, but Mary was a little sad that the vacation was coming to an end, although she tried not to show her face. In addition, lately Mary no longer felt such feelings for Eric as before and for some reason just now thought about it.<br />- I have a small gift here as a keepsake of our trip and soon five years as we have been together, if you count from the moment we started dating.<br />Mary cheered up and smiled at these words, but when Eric took this pendant out of his bag, he was a little upset. Yet she expected something more than just some little trinket<br />- Oh ... that's so cute ... thank you honey<br />Seeing her reaction, Eric was a little embarrassed and hesitated when he wanted to put this pendant around her neck.<br />- Oh ... Don't you like it?<br />- What are you saying? Honey, this is very cool ... (she twisted a smile and looked away, but now Eric was already convinced that Mary did not really like the gift)<br />- Well ... Mary ... This is our family heirloom (Eric began to invent on the fly, remembering that this is an inheritance from his grandfather) and I thought that you would appreciate it ... (Mary was silent and still smiled with empty eyes looking to the side) If money is so important to you, then you had to marry Frank!<br />He knew that these words angered her, because it was so. She thought about it sometimes and remembered how she turned down the offer of Frank, who was now more successful than Eric at work and richer. And lately she had thoughts that she made a mistake when she married for love. So she replied sharply<br />- Yes! It was necessary to! I wish that! But I...<br />She suddenly fell silent, and Eric did not notice how the ring disappeared on his hand and decided to hug his wife, but for some reason she suddenly kicked away from him<br />- What are you doing, Eric!<br />- What? ... I just want to hug my beloved wife and ...<br />- Im not your wife! Or have you forgotten !? We're just friends. Frank is already jealous of you<br />- What?! What are you saying?! What are you talking about?!<br />- What am I saying?<br />She answered easily as if nothing had just happened<br />- You said you should have married Frank!<br />- But I'm already married to him, Eric (she said calmly with a smile)<br />- What the heck?! What Frank ?! I'm your husband!<br />- Eric ... you're scaring me ..<br />Eric looked at Mary in shock, not understanding absolutely nothing. It didn't sound like Mary, much less a joke. She was too serious for that. He raised his hand and brought it closer to Mary.<br />- Here! My ring .... what ?! Where is it?!<br />- What are you talking about?<br />- I ... I ... don't understand, the ring was just on my finger<br />- Which ring? You speak strange<br />- My wedding ring<br />- Oh, duck you still got married? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me anything? And when was the wedding? This is so great! I congratulate you ...<br />- Stop! Stop talking nonsense! I'm married to you and the ring was just on my ring finger<br />Eric began to rummage in the sand in search of the ring while Mary looked at him in surprise<br /><br />Part 2:&nbsp;<a class="external" href="https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.patreon.com/posts/54527102">www.patreon.com/posts/54527102</a><br />Part 3:&nbsp;<a class="external" href="https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.patreon.com/posts/54527102">www.patreon.com/posts/54527102</a><br />Part 4:&nbsp;<a class="external" href="https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.patreon.com/posts/54527102">www.patreon.com/posts/54527102</a><br /><br /><span>If you like my stories and want to see others or sequels, then you can support me (also there you can find more stories&nbsp;):&nbsp;</span><a class="external" href="https://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.patreon.com/greentg">www.patreon.com/greentg</a>
