Married To My Secretary

Chapter 17

“I hate that you close my laptop, Green “I say it in the calmest way possible because the last thing I want is to fight “and I'm not working. I'm looking at what I give you for our first month of marriage.

“What? Why would you give me something? Kate looks at me intrigued and crosses his arms.

“Husbands give their wives things all the time. Besides, my father will ask me what I have given you.

"Well, you already gave me a Bentley, that's enough."

"A Bentley you don't even use." Come, sit here “I gently tap on the chair, signaling for him to sit next to me and miraculously he does.

“What do you prefer? A yacht or a helicopter? I ask, showing him both on a website.

“What? None," he blurts out, almost immediately. "Why don't you give me something more normal? like a teddy bear, chocolates or roses.

Teddy bears? What's that?

“Seriously? That's not a gift, Kate.

"Santiago, I don't want you to spread that kind of thing to me."

"Any woman would die for a gift like this and you turn it down?" “and it's true, what's wrong with Kate?

"Do I look like any woman?" For me there are more important things than material things. They say money can't buy happiness and it's true.” I stare at her with a raised eyebrow.

“But buy these kinds of things, and it's also happiness “or maybe not, am I happy? I'm not sad either.

"That's not happiness, do you know what is happiness?" Having someone to take care of you, someone to hug, kiss, love, someone who loves you unconditionally, someone who is with you through thick and thin, you can have all the material you want, but you wake up every day alone , you have no one to take care of you, no one to love you, no one to care about you, you have encounters with girls only once, and then what? All those girls are just there for interest, have you ever wondered who would be with you if you weren't Santiago Centinelo? .

Not really, and I don't want to either.

"If you want to show your father that you are a good husband, you have to act like your father acts with your mother."

Rio, I can't help it. I take my eyes to those green ones of yours that sometimes drive me crazy.

"Do you really want it to be like this?" Because my parents do a lot of things that you and I don't do doll “yes, I called her doll “that you wouldn't let me do, you wanted to kill me just because I kissed you.

"Why didn't you ask me first?" You don't take me into account! And it also depends on what kinds of things you want to do with me, because I can kick your ass.

I laugh again. But actually that scared me.

“You see it? I know you! I exclaim, she smiles defiantly.

“You don't know me,” he says immediately.

“You like junk food, the color black is your favorite, you like comedies and horror movies, Rock&Roll, you know Kick”boxing, you appear to have a strong character but you are very corny.

Too cheesy, I don't know what I would do with a woman like that.

"How the hell do you know all that?" She raises an eyebrow, from the tone she spoke to me I know she's upset.

“I told you yesterday that I investigated you, I spoke to people who knew you, I was not going to marry someone I knew nothing about. But nobody told me that you spoke 4 languages.

"How did you investigate me?" That's an invasion of privacy, Santiago!

Kate looks at me annoyed.

But why? Those are trivial things.

“I didn't investigate you, these are things that I've noticed in you these last few days”I lean back on the back of the chair and cross my arms “And what do you know about me?

“That you have a lousy character, that you are superficial and materialistic, you are a womanizer, dominant and possessive, you do things without consulting, you don't care if it bothers you or not, or if it affects you or not, you only think of yourself all the time.

Hmm!? Where the hell does he get all those bad impressions of me?

"Do I have a lousy character?" Who is the one who is looking for a fight all the time? “I get up from the damn chair, yes, I'm already upset” I'm trying to do my part to make this work a little longer but you get upset about everything, if I weren't with this character you wouldn't respect me, and you know it , just because I gave you a little confidence, you close my laptop at any time you want, you yell at me, you offend me, if this wasn't for my father I wouldn't marry you “And it's true, it drives me crazy, I know that she wouldn't marry me either with all that she just told me but I don't care, I put a shirt over my body, Kate is still speechless, I'm not really thinking clearly, I take my suitcase "I'll come for you tomorrow" and I withdraw.

“Where are you going? he asks, what the hell does he care? "You can't go, your brother can come tomorrow."

I leave the room slamming the door behind me, now where the hell am I going to go? All motherfucker rooms are full, I walk aimlessly all over the hotel until I reach the pool, I look like a homeless kid. I lean back on a comfortable chair on the banks and look at infinity. Is this being married? I massage my temples, this is going to give me a stroke. My cell phone rings, it's Malcom, he kind of knows when I'm going through a bad time.

"Tell me..." I answer reluctantly, I hope it's not bad news because I commit suicide.

"Are you enjoying yourself?...huh?" “that tone of his that I know is imagining all possible filthy things.

“Yes of course, I am in front of a swimming pool, alone, with my suitcase and I have nowhere to go because all the rooms are reserved.

"Did you do it that bad?" Malcom bursts out laughing and I just want to throw him into a chasm.

“I swear I want to kill you, Malcom, be thankful that I am thousands of kilometers away.

"Okay, I'm sorry, let's talk seriously then." He makes weird noises that I know he's holding back, it makes me laugh.

"By the way, he passed the test," I blurt out, looking around. This doesn't look like a bad place to sleep.

“Is seriously?

"That's right, I offered him a yacht or a helicopter." And he totally turned me down, he wants teddy bears, chocolates and I don't know what other cheesy shit.” I keep massaging my temple, my head still hurts.

“What? What the hell is wrong with Kate? “he laughs out loud “You have found the woman of your dreams Santiago! YOU FOUND IT! “ yells with so much emotion that it's going to break my eardrum, plus a headache.

"Are you drunk Malcom?" She is stubborn, foolish and has the ability to drive me crazy in moments. Today I will sleep in a beach chair “Malcom laughs.

"That's how good relationships start." I frown and sigh. God! Give me patience.

"No, never and never." Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to sleep, it's very late here, and it will take me longer to fall asleep in this chair.

"Or maybe I should..." I hang up, I don't want to hear what else he has to say.

No, this chair is definitely not comfortable ah! Why the hell did I get married? It would have been better if he had let me take the presidency and gone begging in the shopping malls, I would no longer drive my Porsche and I would have to sell my house, I could no longer pay Rosa, I would no longer have affairs with any girl, no no no! I better bear this for six more months. It's a nightmare to think of being poor, and having to drink tap water, and sleeping in a small bed, and not wearing business suits anymore, I couldn't stand it. Damn! I'll go back to the room, my back and my whole body hurt, I hope Kate isn't awake because I seriously don't want to say a word, I look at my cell phone, I have 25 missed calls from her, someone has a guilty conscience. I head back and enter the room and luckily she's asleep, I leave my suitcase in a corner and settle down, putting pillows between us, I don't want her to come near me, I fall asleep almost in moments.

A sound at the door makes me wake up.

oh! It just can't be! Please no! Please! I open my eyes slowly until I get used to the light coming through the window, it's the man at breakfast, no no no, I want to sleep more, what time will it be? Kate gets up to open the door.

“Good morning, gentlemen Centinelo, can I come and serve your breakfast? That's what I can hear.

“Of course, go ahead,” Kate says, letting him into the room.

I wave him through even with all the sleep in the world, I catch a glimpse of a small nameplate hanging above his yellow "Carl Williamsburg" vest.

I'll complain to management for not letting me sleep enough, or better I thank them because it's already quite late, my cell phone rings and it's Henry.

"Santiago, can you come over for a few moments?" I hear when I pick up.

“Sure, give me two minutes, I'm already there “I hang up the call and go into the bathroom with jeans and a black T”shirt to change into, when I leave I take my laptop and leave without saying a word with Kate.

I get to Henry's room and knock on the door. Brittany is the one who goes to open it.

"I just wanted to make sure it was you and not some bitch from around here." I frown. Henry comes out adjusting his sweater and gives Brittany a disapproving look.

"Do you think we go to the dining room for breakfast?" I nod my head. He leaves and closes the door behind him.

“Brittany drives me crazy sometimes. Isn't it the same with your wife? “questions. You have no idea.

“Not really, Kate is the best wife a man can have “ I don't even believe that.

Henry starts showing me statistics about his company over breakfast, and I help him and explain as best I can. After all, he is my brother, I don't care if my father thinks better than me, it's not to brag but I don't know what he would do without me, after a few hours I head back to the room, I have to prepare myself for the blissful partners dinner.

I open the door and hear the shower blaring in the bathroom, I have to wait for her to take a shower, I sit on the huge bed with delicious flannel sheets and start checking my mail in the meantime, about five minutes later the bathroom door opens and I turn my gaze in that direction.

OMG! Kate comes out of the bathroom in a very sexy pink lace underwear, apparently she hasn't noticed my presence, she walks to her suitcase, what a great body! No... it can't be, and to give me a better view, she's tied her hair in a bun, I think I'm going to start sweating, those dignified legs of hers, long and slim, her flat abdomen, her narrow waist, and her back to me he leans over to look for clothes in his suitcase, that butt... noooo! I'm going to lose control, I quickly look at my computer monitor again, clearing my throat before I lunge at it and kill myself. She turns quickly and looks at me, her eyes widen as saucers and she tries to cover herself with the white jeans she was holding, but it's useless, I had already seen everything and I almost went crazy.

"What the hell are you doing here, Santiago?" I don't take my eyes off the monitor, because I know that if I do I won't be able to contain myself.

"Well, this is my room, I remember you too," I speak, making a superhuman effort not to look.

"But why don't you tell us?" Demons! “he enters the bathroom quickly, and I begin to inhale and exhale. Why this punishment? What have I done?

After a few minutes of internal struggle to erase from my mind what I just saw and not give me an erection, Kate comes out with light jeans and a white camisole, her large breasts stand out more with that blouse, no, it's not anymore I'll see her the same after what I saw.

She lets go of her hair and without a word she puts on her shoes, takes her bag, her jacket and leaves the room, I didn't even ask where she was going, I can't even talk to her about something coherent at this moment.

And I can't get that image of Kate out of my head. I can't even concentrate, I can't believe it, if it's not the first great body I've seen in underwear. Sure, but the others that I've seen I made mine immediately and I know that with Kate it won't happen, ah! I have to calm down.

"Santiago, are you okay?" Henry waves his palm in front of me as we eat lunch.
