Kisses on my cheek, neck and back wake me up, I blink several times to accommodate myself to the fucking light of dawn, something prevents me from moving and I hear a sweet voice that my brain manages to recognize immediately.“Happy birthday,” my love, who is straddling my back, speaks in that dignified crooning way of hers, but…damn…“What time is it? I ask immediately, and in that my eyes focus on a cake with a candle that forms the number "26" it's green. What? "Kate, what are you doing?" I ask, with a smile, I forgot that today was my fucking birthday."What does the time matter, Santiago?" It's your birthday, enjoy it. And this “ he takes a little of the cake coating with his index finger smearing it on my nose “ is your birthday cake. Let me light the candle so you can make a wish.I can't help but smile, I don't want to ask for wishes, I already have everything I want. I try to roll over, Kate stands up to let me do it, once I'm on my back she straddles me again, ok I'm waking
I sit at my desk while I wait for the cell phone to tell me once and for all where Kate is, it only takes a couple of minutes. I look again and again at both of Kate's rings that rest on the hard, fine wood table, I have a lump in my throat, I just hope I'm not serious.The alert message rings and I take my cell phone, the address that it shows me is quite far from here, and it does not move, it is in one place, I know that it does not want to return, I debate whether to call it or not, and whether to go or not, she doesn't want to see me, it's the safest thing to do and if I follow her I'll increase the problems, I know her perfectly.I wake up suddenly, I don't know what time I fell asleep, I look at my watch and it's been three hours since I sat here, Kate could have come and I didn't even notice, I look at my phone again and the app tells me that is in the same place The same place?Since three hours? Has she fallen asleep? No, that place is dangerous at this hour, now I'll go for
Remember when you mentioned that this contract was a win”win deal? Neither of them has won, you no longer have the presidency and I don't have the job and the strange thing is... that you no longer want the presidency and I no longer want the job.When you read this, most likely I will be in another country, I wish you the best, and success in your project, the divorce papers will arrive soon, my signature is already there, now it only depends on you and we will be free again , our contract has ended.Attt, Kate Green"I'm paralyzed for a few... I can't say how many minutes, I read the letter again hoping I've misunderstood it, but no, the words "another country" and "divorce" are there Shit!... no no nooooo. .. no no no, I refuse to accept this, damn it, it was just a mistake, a fucking mistake, I'm dying, I don't think I can stand this, I start to dial Kate's number as I stand up and start to walk towards the outside at a rapid pace, I feel my legs give way in fact my whole being, I
The days go by and I don't know what has happened to her, not even the private investigators I have hired, there is no record of any Kate Green or Centinelo in London, she has not rented an apartment, or a car, she has not looked for a job, it is as if It got there and the earth swallowed it.I try to focus as much as I can to exercise but I don't even have the strength for that and I don't remember when was the last time I ate something that sustained me. I get up and force myself to go to the dining room, Rosa must already be here and yes she is immediately as I go out into the hall my nostrils are activated and therefore my stomach. Since Kate left, even Rosa has been depressed, I don't remember when was the last time we spoke. I sit on a stool at the bar while she hums a song I don't know, I hear the doorbell ring and she opens it, I look at the apple”shaped cup holders... I miss her."Child Santiago, this has arrived for you," he mentions, I frown, I wasn't expecting any package.
Damn, this can't be true, the person I've been looking for all this time is in front of me, as stunned as I am, his green eyes are fixed on mine... I don't even know what to feel, I don't know what to do, or What to believe, it seems to me that this is a dream like many that I had where I found her, but in those dreams we laughed, hugged and kissed, I don't think that happens in real life. I feel my heart skip a thousand beats, I can't take my eyes off her, I can't... and neither can she.She tries to stand up and I help her by extending my hand towards her, to my surprise she takes it and stands up with me, without taking that look from me or me from her. I should say "Hello" at least, I'm going to say those words when I hear my name being called out of Harold's mouth.I immediately turn as he approaches me."One of the girls wants to meet you," he murmurs in my ear withoutnoticing the presence of the person in front of me, although being a new partner he doesn't know Kate. I am not
I still couldn't believe that I had found Kate, that she will be here at any moment and that we would have a first date, I know that she doesn't like luxurious things, she likes things that are simple but romantic and what better than to do it at my house, by the pool, I prepared everything by myself, including the food, these last five months I had dedicated myself to learning about cooking to avoid getting depressed in my spare time, I like the result.I lit aromatic candles around the pool to illuminate the place in a calm way, the table next to the pool has a centerpiece with some red roses, she likes colors. I have worked hard like never before for this appointment. I finish putting the leather jacket on my shoulders and I drive to where she told me it was her apartment, the truth is I already knew her address but she doesn't know that, I told her I would pick her up and when I get to the building that I must admit is quite nice, she's already waiting for me, beautiful as always,
I stare at Haylie and she looks at me, I blink several times and that diaper doesn't look like the one in the photograph. What did I do wrong? I lift the box to get a better look at it. I want to take it off to try again, I do that and I'm left with one of the adjustable straps on my fingers. It can not be true. I huff, and she just laughs when she sees my despair, it makes me smile.“Someday you're going to be in this situation, but when you are, I hope you're thirty because otherwise dad will use his future shotgun and leave your son without a father.And she just laughs, the same Kate personality, laughing at my problems. I look at the instructions again Ah! I got it, that tape goes the other way Damn it! Why don't you notify me before?“The old diapers you used didn't have all these things, Grandma Margot is crazy buying these strange pink things with flowers, I'll buy you Lightning McQueen or Deadpool diapers so your mom is happy and they match her pajamas.She kicks as always wh
POV KATE GREENMy day begins, I get out of bed, the clock shows 7 am, I don't know why I get up at this time if I don't even have a job, what comes to my head "another day of job search", about a year ago This year I graduated from university with the best grades in my class, but I haven't had much luck with jobs. What can I tell you about that action that makes you a subordinate in exchange for money? well, during university I worked in a local newspaper, with this I paid my university bills, when I left university I worked in a small publishing house, I was in charge of reading books after books by amateur writers, it was a good stage of my life, but the publisher closed a couple of months later (Great!).Then, like a choir of angels, I was getting closer to my dream job, writing, a university professor asked me to help him in the script of a production that would be filmed in New York, everything was great and divine until the protagonist went to bed with the director. The producer
