I wake up suddenly when I hear the door to my room open, two silhouettes are at the door, I blink several times to adjust to the light and I see that the person leaning on the threshold is... Santiago? I rub my eyes as Natalie closes the door, Santiago approaches me with a frown.Alex, are you okay? she asks, I clear my throat so as not to sound sleepy as I sit on the mattress of my bed, damn Natalie who doesn't ask me if she can let someone into my room, luckily I put all my clothes in the closet.“Hey “I say, with a nervous laugh, I hope it doesn't show on my face that I've slept for more than four hours “May I know why you didn't warn me before coming? He sits on the edge of the bed and stares at me.“I called you ten times and you didn't answer, that's why I came, I worried “I frowned “I brought you something “he mentions, and he hands me something that I look at with an arched eyebrow. What?“A plush monkey? Is seriously? I say, leaning back against the head of the bed with a smi
I don't know how many times I forgot to breathe today but I had to do everything I do in a day in just two hours. At what time did I tell him that I did want to go to France? After tripping over a pot, hitting my little finger on the desk, throwing soda on myself and forgetting to drink coffee, I'm on my way to France wanting to sleep but Santiago won't let me because he's working so am I.It's a nice afternoon that welcomes us at the Paris airport, it makes up for all the work I've done today. I'm excited to arrive, so excited that I hug Santiago and he frowns at me."We don't come here for a walk, we come to work," he mentions, that last word in pauses, Santiago the killjoy as always.A limousine is heading us somewhere, I look out the window, not coming to this city for so long until I see that something has changed. The driver and another uniformed man get out of the limo and go to where I think the suitcases are, Santiago gets out of the limo holding the door for me to get out, a
I froze for a few seconds. He too.She was standing in front of Raymond, how could I forget his gray eyes, his disheveled brown hair, those two dimples that form on his cheeks every time he smiles... How could I forget my first love?... well, not like that either, but yes He was the first boy I liked... and above all, how can I forget that he left me for Suzanne when he went to college just because he had money?“Alex? “he asks, reacting after a few seconds, he smiles, there they are, his two attractive dimples “My God! Alex! So long! “he approaches me and gives me a hug, for a few seconds I don't react “Honey, this is Alex... An old friend from high school.She does know me, she used to send Raymond pictures in her underwear when they barely met on Facebook."Hello Suzanne, it's my pleasure" I say as I shake my hand, she looks at me with her big brown eyes and smiles mockingly at me."The pleasure is mine, Alex," he says, his voice cracking my eardrums.“Ohh, great that you meet “spe
I enter the house still tired from the unsuccessful run after Santiago, it smells divine, my stomach growls, I go inside and walk towards the dining room, most of them are already here, what Santiago has saved himself from, at the moment he is sitting in the dining room talking to a guy sitting in front of him, I hadn't seen him before, he has a general's uniform, his black hair perfectly combed back, he looks interested talking to Santiago. Who can be so interested in what Santiago is talking about? Just someone who likes power.I need to change before meeting with all of Santiago's family, I don't want them to look at me with all this sweat running down my body, I go up to the room and see that everything is perfectly arranged, even all the clothes are already in the closet, there are no more not a single trace of suitcases, I open the first drawer of a white cabinet with a huge mirror that is in front of me, there is all my underwear. Has anyone seen my underwear? All the lace pant
We walk around the city, I like Lindsey, her free and daring spirit, her detailed opinion of life, her truthfulness in describing who she is, her loyalty to the things she loves without caring about being criticized, her realism, her way of being. She reminds me a lot of Natalie, they would get along, or maybe they would hate each other, Natalie doesn't get along with any woman who has a similar personality to hers.Despite having money, Lindsey is pretty straightforward. He does not visit expensive stores or designer clothes, he gets excited when he sees things on sale. We entered all possible stores. He came out with more than five bags in each hand and on the way bought clothes for me. I already have enough clothes."I don't need clothes, I still have many that I haven't worn," I say, walking around a pile of clothes on sale.“And? That's how women are “she says, while she places both blouses in front of me, because then I think I'm not a woman “The beige or the pink one? Choose."
“Alex! Wake up! Let's go up! “I hear a voice that I can't recognize even when I'm asleep “Alex, for God's sake! How lazy you are “ and a little more awake I recognize that it is Santiago's voice, I half”open my eyes, the light from the lamp illuminates the room a little, I see Santiago's silhouette with a black jumpsuit and putting a red sweatshirt on his muscular torso “Alex go! He continues and approaches me with a frown. “That? What's the matter? “my sleepy voice is noticeable. “You promised me to go running... Do you remember? His demanding eyes look at me and my brain tries to remember when I made that promise. Ah that's right, why do I promise things without thinking? Bitch. He pulls the blanket that covers my body and immediately I feel every hair on my body stand on end from the cold. I look at the clock on the nightstand, and the huge red letters say 4 and 23 am. “Santiago It's 4! “I try to retrieve the blanket to put it back on me but Santiago pulls it back leaving it e
“So..... Paul White? Santiago finally asks, after an hour of silence between them. “Seriously, instead of contemplating all these beautiful landscapes, are you thinking about Paul? I ask, looking out the window without seeing Santiago. “We're going to be partners and you're flirting with him. Are you serious? If I do something, it's with women that have nothing to do with you “Ah! How thoughtful! Now if I take my gaze to him and he doesn't take his eyes off the road. “I didn't know that I would be your partner, and besides, it's embarrassing for me that those girls you sleep with look at me as stupid, even though they have nothing to do with me. “Alex... You don't even know if I slept with her or not. I laugh sarcastically. “Of course, you only inserted your penis into her vagina but they didn't go to bed “Santiago looks at me and raises an eyebrow, for a moment I feel afraid because he's not seeing the road, I look at him incredulously “SANTIAGO! “I yell, seeing that a truck co
Santiago hugs me, damn, thank you that I didn't grab him Kung Fu Panda style, he asks Malcom to call him later and he lifts me on his shoulder, having that view of his bubbles, all hatred towards him goes away. "This is when I regret telling you that Paul is gay," I say, as we walk hand in hand down the beach. "If you hadn't done it, I'd kill them both," he snaps, looking straight ahead with feigned hatred. "I know you're crazy, but I don't think you'll go to that extreme" I laugh, he smiles as he brings his gaze to me. I take off my shoes and carry them in my hands, the sand between my fingers is the best feeling in the world, to my surprise, Santiago does the same, I would never have imagined that he would walk barefoot through a place like this. From where I am, a huge white teddy bear hanging from the roof of an establishment catches my eye, something that does not go unnoticed by Santiago. As always! Her little hairy hands hold a red heart with gold letters that read "I LOVE
