2023-02-18 14:04:40A guy like that couldn't arouse those kinds of feelings. He was a worthy rival in this respect; Marc would never take a step in the opposite direction if the other took it forward, neither out of consideration nor for momentum, and Caleb never backed down. But that day it was convenient to keep the distances for what could happen. It had become pretty clear that Caleb was one of those guys who, when they were sad or disappointed, would get mad so it wouldn't show. And she didn't want to be the focus of his rage.
However, he did not want to sit in the other corner and spend hours alone. The truth was that Marc was afraid of living the waiting room experience without someone by his side, even if it was his archenemy and his jaw was throbbing because of him. What did it matter if he was a bit aggressive and unpleasant. It seemed so much better than his destructive memories, which, as timely as ever, had come back to keep him company.
Plus she found it amusing how easy i

"Well, less me," Natsumi chimed in, blowing into her glass and discreetly looking at Caleb's frown, "but I should go back to Yuri." I had just come to tell you that... Thank you for this,' he added, picking up the tea. “You are welcome. And he sounded pissed off, like he was annoyed that I was polite. Marc was about to laugh, but he resisted until Natsumi had disappeared from the waiting room and they were alone. Then, he shook his head again and sighed. “What's wrong with you, that you're so melancholic and an asshole? Moore snapped. "Are you in love with both sisters, or just with Mio?" Moore didn't move. The paper had been studied so well that he did not seem even mortified by the discovery. Not surprised either. He wore his usual stone”splitting expression, enhanced by two arched dark eyebrows. "Don't worry, your secret is safe with me," Marc continued, placing a hand on his chest. You can be sincere. “What more do you want

Marc wanted to get his arm off of her, stand up and show that he was okay doing anything stupid. Unfortunately, it would not be very credible.“The feeling of not being able to do anything, just wait, is very unpleasant. At least in this case I don't need a miracle… You should go to the office. Yuri is very well wrapped. He doesn't need you."But you do."“Do not be ridiculous. “Got up”. I'll see how he is.Jesse gave a resigned smile, which meant you don't need an excuse to run away from this, although I won't deny that you're letting me down. Marc also disappointed himself by moving away from what, even in those days, hurt him. He had the consolation of knowing what he was up to by going to Yuri's room. If she was awake, maybe it was time to talk. His wounds would never be as open as they were that morning, and it was better to let go while they were still bleeding.Caleb was sitting next to the bed. There was no si

“The patient is not very well,” he admitted, “but it is not serious. We'll need to keep her under observation for a few hours, to see how she progresses. They have given him drugs that were not working for the problem he had and it has gotten worse. While it wears off and with proper intervention, I'd say you'll see improvement in about forty”eight hours, at the latest."When will he wake up?" the mother inquired.“I couldn't tell her that anymore, but in her condition it would be better not to wake her. The pain you must be feeling must be excruciating while conscious.Her stomach clenched at that. Unbearable pain that perhaps he could have prevented by taking her directly to his hospital, and not some unknown and random one. But he was supposed to have a headache. His head ached and nothing else. It would have made more sense in terms of symptoms to have been detected with a brain tumor than to have been hooked up to the dialysis

The pain was so intense that it dragged her inexorably and in the worst way into unconsciousness, even as she struggled to stay awake. Yuri felt as if she had been beaten. His body was a focus of excruciating pain.“At last! exclaimed a tearful female voice. How do you feel? Does it hurt a lot? The doctor said that you would need medication for that, but that you weren't sick anymore...Yuri blinked a few times before focusing her eyes. His sister was sitting next to him, clutching his hand with her maddening enthusiasm. The one that sometimes hurt. Without going any further, at that moment, his grip was about to break her bones. She tried asking him to loosen up a bit, but as soon as she glanced around the room and saw only Caleb in the easy chair, fast asleep, that was her last concern.Through the haze of her drug”affected thoughts and whatever had been done to her, she sensed that something was missing here."Where's Mark?" he muttered thr

But he didn't say anything. He started the car and followed the directions to where Yuri pointed. The journey was silent, except for the melody on the stereo, which was playing a record by The Beatles. From time to time she would throw glances that wanted to say "what's wrong? and why so quiet?", but he didn't turn around or stop the car. He looked stiff, tired, in pain... With dark circles reaching to his shoes, despite having managed to sleep a bit.Caleb parked in front of the boardwalk. He turned off the engine. He took off his belt. And he stared at the motionless windshield, as paralyzed as the Audi. Yuri interceded for him, knowing that when he got like this it was because the urge to scream was killing him and he couldn't do it without incentive."One of these days all that excessive worry of yours is going to kill you," he said softly.She wanted to accompany him with a smile when she saw that he smiled, but the gesture was a trap. The corners of her li

Yuri was reviewing the plans for the current day when she came across a sticker. A circular and pink sticker, which meant that it was before a day of particular importance. A special day. And it didn't sound like she had put it there.He got up from his chair in Marc's office without taking his eyes off the point. Was it a relative's birthday? An anniversary? I never used those stickers for the days to come, because I couldn't predict when it would be memorable; he saved them for bedtime, after a good time.Someone had to have put it there. That someone could be either Caleb, or Mio, or Marc, the only ones who knew the custom of stickers. Since Cal didn't touch his schedule and Natsumi was on her own, there was only one possible answer.She left the office that Marc had at home”and which she had taken over”to look for him. It was Sunday, and that meant "no work," even though Marc sometimes put it through his lining.That day he had respected t

"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. "I'll never understand how you can refer to her and your relationship in those terms and expe

“ 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.

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
