Anything you can do, I can do better... and you know that very well. If you were clear on victory, you wouldn't be so worried about the court reaching for a divorce.
Marc took a breath and took a quick look at the clock.
"Allow me to correct you, sweetie." Both We know that victory, for the moment, has none. Campbell isn't stupid and neither is Carol, just like we all have an idea of what's out there. If they don't give in, it's because they both believe they can win, ergo, there's a hidden test that maybe they've taught us or maybe not, but that can destroy the other. Being in more or less equal conditions, in the end everything will depend on who has the most agile mind, or who dares to take a risk.

"So a flatterer." And what else am I?Yuri looked at him as if she needed him to describe it.He wanted to be struck by lightning right there.He was dressed in his usual suit, impeccable from head to toe. She managed to look brand”new at each of her appearances, and no one looked better in new clothes. It didn't help that he was also the kind of man who would be handsome even covered in spit."I don't know if I want to know," she answered, tired.She turned and left him there, more infatuated with herself than with him. If he was a little more Mio, a little more Otto, he would have gotten over his comment in five minutes and could be nice now, or at least biting. Well no. It had to show that it hurt, when it didn't make much sense. Maybe he had a bad day, or was that unpleasant if it suited him. In either case, an apology would suffice. Or not. That would contradict what you clarified by active and passive. He was not going to take care of s

"Aha, go on.""I wouldn't have gotten between my parents." I wouldn't have sat in the back row on the first day of school, where no one could talk to me. I wouldn't have turned Gabriel down when he asked me to the Spring Ball just because I was embarrassed to think he wanted to kiss me. The truth is that I wanted that kiss, I was just afraid of the rest. So if after kissing me he wanted something... I would have stopped him. I would not have endured until the end out of obligation. Not with him, nor with any of those who followed.He turned on his heel, looking at each of the corners of the court. He approached Marc, stopping before the first row of bleachers. There he sat.“I would have played basketball, or football, and gone to a nude beach, and strutted around like cheerleaders in my little boardshort. Maybe I would have found someone who loved me. Really... you know? That he loved me and showed it, not just said it. Everyone says they adore me, but th

"Good morning, boss," Yasin greeted, leaning against the hood of the car, smoking."Please throw that shit away.""You don't pay me enough to ban vices, boss."“If I paid you more, you could afford them better, and that's what I intend to avoid.“What an interesting vision of capitalism. He tilted his face to expel the air. I have already bought the flowers. Shall we go through the cemetery first?"Please," he said, settling into the back seat. And thanks.An hour later, Marc was trying to understand the gestures that Verónica was making from her counter. He didn't quicken his pace because the walk down the aisle had to be done properly, even if he had a thousand other opportunities to show off every day.“What? he asked, resting his elbows on the table.“Quick, there are twenty seconds left on this two”for”one offer. Which ones do you like the most? The beige or

“It's my job to make people think I'm going to take a step, and then change direction. How do you think this rhythm of victories is maintained? For infused science?Hugo gave him a confused look. He was losing what little chin he had, and the medication he was taking for pimples was taking effect. Marc had recommended the treatment as soon as he saw that she also had pimples on her back, knowing that this meant a serious skin problem.“Is it that you don't separate your working life from your sentimental life? Correction: sexual. You obviously don't have feelings.Wow , what a stick to come across two very different points of view on your person in the same morning.Marc thought about the answer, although it sounded like he had answered that question before. Did he separate her? Did he need it? In his view, he had only one life: the one he lived between those four walls. The rest were just distractions, mostly soporific, although in r

"And that's what I am?" A refreshing novelty? I don't ask meanly, or as a reproach. I just need to know. "I'd also like to know why you're so upset at the idea of me dancing with another woman." You and I haven't even defined what we're playing at. "That doesn't stop me from having illusions." Marc stopped moving for a second. She blushed so quickly it might have been comical. "No illusions that you're marrying me or anything like that," he began hastily. It's about... If your secretary is watching, maybe we should go talk somewhere else. "If we go somewhere else, I'm going to choose a room with real walls, a latch, and a comfortable surface." If you're ready for me to take advantage of all three, ask me again and I'll obey. Yuri looked at him between troubled, surprised and flattered. She looked like a virgin in front of her first teenage boyfriend, one of those horny guys who came with a couple of strokes and repeated dirty things st

Yuri was calmly sticking stickers on her planner while pretending not to hear the voices between Caleb and Delfino. His best friend was harmless, and no matter how provocative his deputy was, he wasn't going to get the punch he'd been looking for for months. Of course: that morning he was trying very hard to take his "playing ball", of which he was an elite athlete, to a new level. Yuri didn't even know why they had started arguing that time, she just hoped the dispute would end with Delfino leaving the firm, as she had threatened so many times, and Caleb taking a vacation.She smiled to herself and shook her head, still amused by the stickers. Caleb taking a vacation? What would be next? Frozen hell, no more, no less.“I'm not even going to answer that,” Caleb was saying. You have portrayed yourself mixing the personal with the professional, but I can think of a few adjectives that define you as a lawyer. You are useless and conceited. Being your father's

“But how goofy you have become... Hihihihihi. He gave a little jump and looked at her moving his eyebrows. From one to ten, how much do you like it?"I guess this is what Caleb meant when he said he can be a pain in the ass sometimes."“Thirty”two kilos, baby. Are you going to answer me?Yuri crossed her arms.“A one.So it's your number one ..." he continued teasing. I imagined it.God. And that man considered himself an adult?Seeing that he began to type, Yuri walked towards him and took the mobile from his hands, leaving it in one of the drawers of the table, safely.“ That's it. I'm your boss.“And my sister”in”law.“But what are you saying?“That I can see it in your little eyes, dandere ... And my brother can see it from here. How exciting!

"Have you finished arranging your things?" I have seen that you do not have photos or anything like that. You can put whatever you want, as long as it doesn't bother. It is your corner, the minimum is to adapt it until it feels like a second home.“Yes, I know, I have... I brought an air freshener and a couple of pens. Also a photo of my parents, but I thought better of it,” he said easily. I've heard a homophobic comment from someone and I don't want any trouble.Yuri raised her eyebrows.“He would have problems, don't you think?"Of course, that's what I mean." If he said something like that in front of me, I don't think I'd be able to stop myself in time, and I've wanted to work here for a long time. I admire Mr. Moore. I wouldn't like him to kick me out after a fight... I wouldn't like him to kick me out, just plain, but less for that."Who made the comment?"“I don't know, I haven't seen him, but he was arguing w

"Never thank me because I can always do better." And I'll always do better if you let me. Are you going to leave me? Lea smiled without wanting or being able to remedy her weakness. “In peace? Never. "That was what I wanted to hear." "What else could I tell you?" My life is much more beautiful when you are in it. What movie is that line from? Or is it from an Elton John song? “The second. "I think it's a good idea to move on to song choruses, because I wouldn't know how to respond to that if it wasn't with a Frankie Vallie…" She cupped her hands into a horn and yelled. I love you baby, and if it's quite all right, I need you baaaaaaby, to warm the lonely nights…! Lea silenced him by covering his mouth and giving him an elbow with the fit of laughter lurking. He defended himself by curling up in the seat, looking at her with merry eyes. His amused childish smile made her heart race. "I love you baby," she crooned

Wentworth got up and set the potatoes aside. The only reason he'd do that was because he'd run out of them, so Jesse didn't try to dig into the bottom of the bag. "Do you want me to help you be spontaneous?" he repeated with special sarcasm. You're the one who always picks me up with women, Jesse, you don't need anyone to convince a woman to be with you. And less three guys who have cost much more than you. That one over there took twenty years, and they'll end up leaving your brother, so… I'm going for the humus. "You're going to be a seal," Marc insisted, his eyes following him. And why is he going to leave me? I got married so that doesn't happen. "Have you heard of divorce?" asked Wentworth wryly. “Yes, and I've also heard that I'm a very bastard lawyer. You will have no way to run from me if I defend myself in court. Moore shook her head.

“ Merde. Sorry. She took off her belt and looked at him very seriously. Take advantage of the traffic light and let's change the site. I don't like to see you suffer. Jesse wanted to retort, but she was so sure of what she was up to that he had to give in. She was driving fine. So much so that he was not scared the only time he took him home, and not only because it was a short journey, but because he knew how to distract him and comply with all road safety regulations. So she walked around the car to switch places, taking the liberty of patting him on the ass as she passed. “Better? she asked, once she had buckled on the pilot's seatbelt. Jesse smiled and showed the hand he'd spanked her with. "Very much, don't you see the pixie dust?" She laughed. "Am I officially Tinker Bell?" "Only until you get tired of Peter Pan." "I doubt I'll get tired. It was my favorite cartoon movie. or so it says my father. S

"Check it out with your own eyes." Jesse glared at her and stepped over the threshold without a second thought. She walked through the living room with her body tense, past the kitchen with a hurried step, and ended up heading to the bedroom. Before that, his attention was caught by the light on in the bathroom, the echo of a song by Huecco and a female voice humming it under his breath. Jesse stopped in front of the ajar door, her heart beating so fast. He took a deep breath and released the air He repeated it once. Other. And another… “That I've cut his hair, I haven't stuck the scissors in his trachea! Shan snapped from behind him. Jesse turned to glare at her resentfully. "And what do you think is worse?" She didn't wait for him to answer and pushed the door very slowly, covering her eyes with her hands. Slowly, as if she were in a horror movie and wasn't quite sure if she wanted to continue watching it, she spread her fing

You even look your dog in the eye and you know what he misses because it is only a reflection of what you need: to be happy. And I'm always happy “he pointed out, extending his arms”, but you duplicate that illusion in such a way that you make me look like a sad man when I'm not with you. "I am aware of my shortcomings because I have seen them thanks to you," he continued. He stuck out his fingers to enumerate. Whim should not be the engine of movement, joking with everything is not always correct, decisions must be made calibrating the pros and cons, I have to be humble from time to time and, above all: I must accept the truth when I have it in front of me , especially when the truth loves me and I love her. "Seriously, I love you. I am in love with what we do. From playing I Spy after we cum, from philosophizing with porn, from chasing ice cream carts, from recreating movie dialogues.

Jesse frowned. “What are you talking about? “Marc and I like to gamble. He said you'd never get over Victoria and I said you'd end up falling for another woman with the right little push. I was a couple of months late thinking about how to get together without it being noticed until the light went out on the web. Jesse's eyes narrowed. "Are you telling me that you gave me that brutal row knowing that I fell into your trap, when on top of that, surely, you made money? “Man, I had to give consistency to my alibi. If I didn't get angry you might be suspicious. Or not, he mused, you're not as smart as you think, but I needed to entertain myself somehow. “As for the money, he hasn't paid me yet. You have to start dating her to get paid. We have a second bet, which is that if you marry her, Marc will be paying me a monthly salary from my retirement until they bury me. "Don't fuck with me," he huffed, in shock.

And he started walking rubbing his temple, which he felt was on the verge of sudden death. It always happened to him. He stopped before turning the corner to go by the photocopier, as if he had just remembered something important, and turned to face Marc, who was leaning against the wall, watching him. “I'm sorry about what I said to you on the phone,” Jesse added aloud. "Didn't you hear me?" You can't take someone seriously when they're angry,” he repeated, shrugging. And it's the least I deserve after fucking your shoulder. "I'll take off the bandage in a few days." Does that mean I have forty”eight hours to insult you and that it's justified? "I'll be all ears if you want to bash my ego." “Perfect. Marc half smiled. Then they went on their way without giving much importance to the matter. He passed the copy room. "…they called me, and I cheered up because I like you," she heard from outside. “Oscar, look, you

They think we're back. "I considered it, I admit it." “The fact that? "Yes, I would be interested in winning you back." It's been years thinking that I would die for you. And I would. But what you tell me about the hostile uterus… I value my carrot too much to risk it. He received a blow to the shoulder. Ouch, right on the war wound. Seriously now... Do you think I look at you like I'm in love? Everyone says so. “I know how to differentiate your eyes of love from your eyes of a joker asshole, and the look of the former is no longer for me. “Well, girl, that's life. You traded me for a baby, now you put up with it. "I traded you for nothing." “No, you'll see that you're going to have a baby. You only needed my blessings: I bless you. Now go get your ass poked.

Kyoto leaned back at the end of the corridor. Jesse entered the copier room to hide from the onlookers and stood in front of her. He was so pissed off he could only be sad, and it didn't help that Lea conveyed something similar. "You don't have to go," he murmured, searching her eyes. If I have been abusing your trust and I have not even given you proper work, I am very sorry, but... She silenced him only by lifting her chin. "That's not what I want you to apologize for. Jesse shifted from one leg to the other and rested her hand on the copier, not knowing what to say. “I can't apologize for wanting to spend time with someone I care about. I can apologize for not realizing that I was displacing you. "Leave it, it doesn't matter." There is nothing more to say, we have already discussed everything a while ago. "Is that what you thought of as talking?" He shook his head. You haven't even let me explain myself well, and what I was
