I enter a room and deposit my backpack on the bed that we are supposed to share and it is quite small, wow... the more time together, the less space. Santiago talks with Henry in front of the fireplace while I look through a small window at the great view that this place has and see that they are starting to prepare to play baseball, I head over there. I stand next to Mr. Centinelo who holds a baseball bat in his hands, he looks youthful in a white T”shirt he is wearing, and the cap that covers his gray hair, he is waiting for a man with a beard to position himself to throw the ball. “You want to try? he asks, offering me the baseball bat. At first I thought I'd say no, but to hell with being a lady! I do want to play baseball. I nod and take the bat. "Okay, just focus on the ball and hit it with all your might" Mr. Centinelo speaks, I've played baseball before but I don't want to be rude and tell him that I already know, so I nod as if that's great advice, the The man who plays
"Come on," he says, as he opens the limo's door, "I'll drop you off at your apartment." We go inside the building, he takes my hand and we go up the elevator. I give him his coat which he holds in his other hand. When I get to my apartment I see a smiling Natalie taking my suitcase, she looks at me and yells and I do the same, it's like our greeting when we don't see each other for many days. She runs across the hall and I catch up to her for a hug, well that means she's taking her breakup with Dereck well. "For God's sake, I think I've gone deaf," Santiago exclaims after us, frowning, greeting Natalie and she smiles embarrassedly, fixing her brown hair that has been messy from the run she just took down the hall. “If you had told me ahead of time that they would come, I would have prepared something ahead of time. “No, it's fine “Santiago mentions, looking at his watch “I have to be at the company in 30 minutes. “And for him 30 minutes is 30 minutes “I interrupt, remembering his
He surrounds me with his arms and pulls me close to his body, caresses my hair as I lean on his shoulder. “Tell me you take care of yourself “he speaks, after a few minutes in this position, I nod. "My period is crazier than me, so I need to take pills," Santiago laughs softly making me laugh back. "Okay…" he gasps, with his face buried in my neck. I slowly get off the table with his help, I take my panties that are lying on the table, while he adjusts his pants, I turn on the light when a sound coming from the door makes us shudder, we both immediately look in that direction. Malcom is holding Natalie astride the door and even without noticing our presence they continue their passionate kisses touching forbidden parts, this is fucking embarrassing, I see another side to see in the room as if looking for a way out of that awkward moment. Santiago does the same, pretending he hasn't seen anything. At some point in their unbridled passion they look at us out of the corner of their
It can't be... What the hell is this? I'll kill Santiago if it has anything to do with it. I'm perplexed, I don't know what to say, or what to do, or how to react, two pairs of huge brown eyes look at me from head to toe. “Alex! my sister exclaims, standing up immediately and walking toward me at a brisk pace, her blonde curls bouncing to the sound of her footsteps. “Stefanie? “I'm perplexed, she rushes towards me causing me to almost fall backwards, my mother comes right after her repairing me from head to toe, with one of her hands on her mouth and the other on her waist. I try as hard as I can to reciprocate Stefanie's effusive hug that is almost hanging from my neck even with her huge heels I am several centimeters ahead of her. “Kate Jane Green “my mother crosses her arms “or Centinelo, whatever... Why the hell didn't you answer my calls? “My mother looks at me with that look of hers that is scarier than Santiago's, her black cardigan highlights her slightly blonde hair that f
I never expected these words coming from Santiago, my heart squeezed. I look at him in disbelief, I can't even articulate the words to tell him that I love him too. My eyes crystallize, I know that a tear will run down my cheeks shortly. “Santiago.... “is the only thing that manages to leave my lips almost shivering. “Alex, don't feel obligated to say it, I understand if you still don't feel the same, caress my cheek with your thumb “I don't blame you, I admit I was a little rude to you at first. “A bit? “ ironically, I already feel my nose watering. He smiles, with that sweet and tender smile, he gives me a kiss. “I beg your pardon “a tear shoots out of my eyes and runs down my nose, the damn lump in my throat is ruining the moment, I bring my hand to her face, her soft and smooth skin makes contact with my skin. “I love you too “I sob, I can see how his eyes crystallize “and I'm not telling you because you told me “he looks at me with his crystallized eyes, and smiles with such
while riding my purple tricycle, I can't forget it, I can't help feeling a certain melancholy for being in this place for the first time in more than five years, I still can't believe it, so many memories. Even Santiago looks around, with a certain sparkle in his eyes and a smile that is about to appear on his lips, I know from his expression that he liked the place. “We arrived! “exclaims my mother, Santiago observes with intrigue what is in front of him as we go through that pavement with two grass carpets on both sides and he stops in front of the front door, the first to see us arrive is Uncle Frank who is holding a bottle leaning against the doorway in front of us. I get out of the car when I see his greenish eyes scrutinize that hummer with surprise and much more when Santiago gets out of the truck and it's just that this man catches the eye of anyone, Uncle Frank hasn't noticed that I'm surrounding the car and I'm heading to him. "Uncle Frank," I say, seeing that he has open
I turn my gaze to where Santiago is, at his right side Uncle Samuel serves him another glass of wine and hands it to him; He stands up and walks towards us taking a sip of the wine and smiles, I know he likes it and I know he's thinking of getting drunk, I smile at him anyway. Upon reaching me, she leans towards me to place her delicate lips on mine, with a certain flavor of sweet alcohol. I get up for him to sit and then settle on his legs, my favorite place in the world, and then lie on his torso, he caresses my hair, while I continue my talk with Stefanie about old friendships that we both had in common in this place, what includes Raymond. “Mrs. Phillips told me that Raymond now lives in California. Stefanie has no idea about the altercation in California with Raymond. I can immediately see how Santiago's face turns serious and annoyed when he hears that name. "He applied to Dad for a job, he says he left his old job due to personal problems." I frown, and Santiago smiles. "He's
I wake up with the soft sound of a sparrow, I open my eyes and immediately focus on the bird on the window frame, I already missed this. I shift a bit, but…shit, Santiago's chest is pretty comfortable. Immediately, Santiago wakes up, rubs his eyes and looks in all directions.“What time is it? he asks, I turn my gaze to the device on the nightstand and the clock shows a little after eight.“Eight? “Santiago's eyes widen and he gets out of bed like a spring, runs to the bathroom and I look at him with intrigue as he disappears behind the door.“What's the matter? I stand up and walk towards him, he is brushing his teeth in a hurry.“The regulation of your...“That? He spits out the toothpaste and meets my gaze in the mirror.“Our gift for your father should already be here “he continues brushing his teeth. Our gift?“ How our gift? “I walk towards him while I cross my arms and stand next to him, he nods and I frown “What did you buy him?“What does your father love apart from wine? “le
