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
It's like 8 am, I know it because at this time the light coming through the window hits my eyelashes hard and makes me angry, at least I woke up a little later, I get up upset throwing everything that gets in my way, I suppose that Natalie has already gone to work, I open the door and there is a note about it."I'm so sorry about yesterday :( I left you a piece of lemon cake in the fridge"How beautiful, I just hope she doesn't do these things to me again, I faithfully believe that I will stay single raising cats like my neighbor Don Juancho.Eating my lemon pie I look out the window, the big sign of the Centinelo building can be seen from here, I go to the white chair in front of the TV and I start to see what's good at this hour.My phone makes me jump in fright, I put my hand to my chest and sigh, I'll change that fucking tone of the cockroach.I go to my cell phone at a brisk pace and slide my finger across the screen. It is an unknown number.-Hello? I ask when picking up, with a
I fall fast asleep almost immediately, my phone rings a few hours later, I feel like I haven't slept at all, unknown number again, I know the only anonymous callers are from the magazine, I hang out of bed and clear my throat not to sound sleepy"Good morning," I say when I pick up.“Kate Green? “Asks a male voice, that's Malcom, I'm sure.“Yes, she talks “I rub my eyes, I need to sleep more.“Great, we need you to be here in 30 minutes Mr. Centinelo decided to advance his flight, we have just been notified that he is about to arrive, it is not convenient for you not to be present on your first day.Oh, my God! I look at the clock and see that it's 40 minutes to 6 am. Is it serious?"Ok, I'll be there," I reply, jumping up, my head spinning, running to the bathroom and showering in less than five minutes.I would have dressed better but I don't have time, I wear black pants almost similar to the one on the day of the interview and some platforms that I found in sight, I look through a
“I understand that he is 25 “What? 25? “He is the eldest son of the founder of the magazine, he said in a magazine for the channel that he worked that he was retiring because he wanted to spend quality time with his wife and would leave his eldest son in charge “he takes a sip of his tea and continues stirring it with the little spoon “That unpleasant person you work for made the magazine grow much more in two years in charge, before it wasn't even half of what it is now, and believe it or not, he owns half of New York, He has shares in most of the companies in this city, and not only here, but also worldwide, he is practically a genius for business.I am speechless for a few moments, frowning at the space between my eyebrows.“No wonder he acts as the owner of the universe “damn bastard “ah, and I failed from my first day, a stupid girl wants to make my life miserable.Natalie looks at me and smiles.“I'm from you, I drag her to an alley without anyone noticing.I laugh out loud, Nat
I get to my normal workday, and yes, Santiago doesn't seem to remember anything, he doesn't mention anything and continues to act demanding and judgmental as usual. As soon as they see that he is entering the company, everyone starts running everywhere, I never got used to running through the office when he arrives, I'm just waiting for him with his cup of coffee to receive the five thousand orders for the day, the same today. As the days go by, my obligations are even greater and he gives me more trustworthy positions like Malcom's when he is not around; while I'm doing the weekly report, a perfectly coiffed Malcom, adjusting his gray jacket with black stripes, approaches me.“Mr. Centinelo wants to see you, right now “Ah? Damn, those words make me shudder. For God's sake! What have I done wrong? Are you going to fire me? I close the laptop as Malcom leaves and walks to the elevator. I take my notebook and with the nerves oftip walk towards his office at a steady pace while I adjust
Santiago calls at 3 pm, to give me the address of the place where we would get married, I never thought about having a wedding and I never thought that I would get married with the same clothes that I went to work. I arrive and Santiago is with Malcom on a bench in the legal office, I don't know what Malcom has to do with it but then I remember that Santiago doesn't do anything without him, we enter the place and the lawyer is talking on the phone, Santiago gives me a velvet box blue, I frown and open it quickly, it's the engagement ring, it's impossible not to open my eyes wide seeing something like that, it has a red diamond in the center and the white gold shines, this must have cost a fortune, I put it in my ring finger and a rather raspy voice snaps me out of my thoughts."I love love stories, of young people who get married without much thought," says the lawyer, as he prepares the papers and situates both of us in front of him, it's logical that he doesn't know anything, or is
We go to his car and Santiago's family to theirs, from the other side of the parking lot I can hear Mr. Centinelo yell "Gute Nacht" to which I answer the same thing which means good night, I turn around and bump into Santiago who is in front of me:“Is seriously? You speak 4 languages and you didn't add that to your resume? I had to remove my surprised face immediately so no one would notice that I didn't know that my own wife speaks 3 more languages.” I look at him puzzled.Was that going to change anything? I still have the job, you didn't ask for a multilingual person, why would I add that?“You have the job because your answer impressed Malcom, but maybe if you had said something common you wouldn't be here, things change when you add more languages to your resume “I don't know why that makes me laugh.“I? Impress him? I mistook him for a kidnapper! He just frowns and smiles. Shit! Yes, he told her. I better look the other way before I get embarrassed.“That's what he told me “he
