Next morning
Luke
At seven o'clock in the morning, I was already awake, ready for a new day of work. I just got ready, looking at myself in the mirror, I was wearing black high-waisted dress pants and a white bodysuit, my hair was loose and I was wearing very simple, non-flashy makeup and pink lipstick the same color as mine. lips. I went to the kitchen, just to get my espresso from the machine. As soon as I finished, I grabbed my bag and left my apartment, straight to the garage, where I parked my car that had arrived the day before at night. When I moved here, I took care of and brought all my belongings. I soon arrived at the company and was introduced to my new boss and my co-workers, where I was well received and welcomed. TrI had worked at the company for many years, I already knew what the rules and perks were, there were 6 organizers in that branch's office, including me, as well as employees from other sectors.
I entered my room with a small box in hand, left my small belongings on the table, along with my laptop and soon I had a bunch of tasks to do. At the same moment, I received a phone call.
I heard the voice of a woman who introduced herself as Anne James, stating that she was engaged and would like to hire our services. I was attentive, as always, and was enthusiastic, thanking you for your interest. Over the phone I realized that the woman was demanding, because before we even signed the contract she already said what was essential and made a point of saying that she wanted something different. After a short conversation, we agreed on a meeting time to close the deal. It was scheduled for Saturday at 3 pm.
I looked at the calendar, it being May 16th, and I frowned. Yes, I had a bad feeling about that date, as it reminded me of the day I was left at my wedding. Not in the month of May, but on the 16th, so that day, I gave it the nickname unlucky day. The day that I didn't schedule or plan something very important or that my happiness depended on it. I knew I shouldn't think like that, but it stayed in my subconscious.
...
Saturday
After a long week of work, I took advantage of Saturday morning to take advantage of the amenities in my building. It was sunny, I didn't think twice about going to the pool to take a dip and sunbathe. I put on a bikini, accompanied by a beach dress and got into the elevator, going to the area where the pool was. Arriving at the place, I greeted some neighbors who were also sunbathing and in the middle of it, I saw Ursula who smiled and waved at me, giving me a signal to come closer. I smiled back and walked over to her, sat on the chair next to the umbrella.
" Hello dear. “ She smiled, being welcoming.
“ Hello, Ursula. “I smiled back.
“Starting the first day in the pool, the water is great... “Ursula smiled, fixing her wet hair. She must have just taken a shower.
“ Then I go for a swim.
" You will not regret.
I stretched out on the chair and put on my sunglasses, taking advantage of Helena to get a tan. From afar I saw a couple entering with a child of around two years old. They seemed very flustered and were in a bad mood.
“Every time I see that couple, I'm grateful for being divorced,” Ursula commented to me. “They just argue, all day long.
I just looked at her, not knowing what to say.
“I was once married and it was the worst mistake I made, my ex was a piece of shit, who only bullied me and got me into debt! Luckily I'm an intelligent person, in addition to having a joint account with him, I had a private account, where I kept my extras. “ Ursula laughed.
I laughed, finding the story interesting, as a wedding planner, I knew the couple until the wedding, but afterward it would always be a mystery.
“It was a waste of time, the only good thing I had was a son.
“So maybe it wasn't a waste of time,” I said smiling, enjoying the possibility of her having a child. I wasn't a mother and never was, even though I had complicated parents, I wanted to believe that children were love for their parents.
Ursula stopped for a few seconds, thoughtful.
“ Yes, it was... My beautiful boy died in a plane crash.
“I'm sorry,” I said, seeing a sad gleam in his eyes.
“It’s okay, it’s been many years” Ursula said. “I've already come to terms with it.
I just smiled, but at the moment I felt a gaze fixed on me, which made me look back, seeing a man staring at me in a strange way.
“This is Marvin, be careful with him, he has already been arrested for domestic violence, all the women who have been with him have only had problems” Ursula whispered, making me look at her in shock.
“He seems calm.
“Only in appearance. “ Ursula sighed. “ I know almost all the neighbors, I can say that I was one of the first to come and live here.
I just smiled and spontaneously looked to the side, seeing a middle-aged man sitting reading a magazine. Even though I was looking at the magazine, I noticed that his gaze was on me.
“Ah, that’s Charles,” Ursula commented and it seems he realized she was talking about him, as he turned his attention back to the magazine.
I didn't comment, but I had a bad impression of him.
“He's a bit weird, he doesn't talk to anyone. Anyway, each one is as they are... “ Ursula said.
" I understood.
“Now that's our Greek god... “Ursula sighed, opening her mouth.
I looked at the entrance and saw a blond man, 1.90m tall, his beard marked his features, shaping his face and his hair had a military style cut. He wore black shorts, a white t-shirt and had tattoos that covered his entire arm. I completely agreed about Ursula opening her mouth, because he was appetizing... I mean good-looking.
“ Jackson... “Ursula smiled and looked at me. “You must know him, he is your next-door neighbor in apartment 78.
“No, actually, I haven't seen him yet...
“Ah, he must have traveled then and arrived today, he loves traveling! He has lived here for a few years now... “Ursula stated.
I just took a sip of my orange juice and stared at Jackson, which made me thank my sunglasses for hiding my shamelessness.
“ Just out of curiosity, what does he do for a living?
“Hmm... “Ursula smiled. “Guess what, he has incredible hands, which...
My cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation, I looked at the device and saw an unknown number.
“Make yourself comfortable” she commented looking at Jackson who was currently sitting in one of the chairs and playing on his cell phone.
I nodded and answered the cell phone, I immediately recognized Anne James's voice. Yes, we had exchanged numbers, but she called me from a different number, stating that it was her fiancé's, as hers had run out of charge. Anne asked us to schedule the meeting earlier, instead of at 3pm, at 12pm, which already made me change my plans, but I still accepted.
“Ursula, we continued our conversation the other day, I have a work meeting today,” I announced, getting up from my chair and getting ready to leave.
“But today is Saturday!
“Yes, I'm an event organizer, so Saturdays are practically my work days,” I said, raising my shoulders. As an event organizer, I tried to be as agile as possible, facilitating communication with clients and event partnerships.
“Ah, I see, see you later... I'll see you for sure.
“Enjoy the day... “I smiled and took my bag, put on my beach clothes and went back to my apartment. I was happy with the call and looking forward to a new contract. At the client's request, I scheduled the appointment early, so I only had an hour to get dressed.
I wore formal high-waisted pants and a bodysuit with scooped sleeves, black high-heeled shoes and made a bun. I said goodbye to Wiskas and left my apartment. This time I decided to take a taxi, to be faster and not have to deal with parking, so I walked to a taxi rank, which was a few meters from my house.
In a few minutes I arrived at the company that was open from Monday to Saturday. I got out of the taxi and saw that the moment I stood in front of the company a woman arrived and got out of a Mercedes, she looked at me with a smile on her face. She was blonde with long hair, wearing a tight black dress and high heel shoes. She was accompanied by a thin man, who wore a white suit.“You must be Luke Yunan. “ She smiled at me.“Yes, and you must be Anne. “ I smiled back." Great pleasure. “We shook hands." Mine too. “ Anne smiled. “This is my secretary, Louis.I waved to Louis and he waved back. So we entered the company, walking towards my office. I took the opportunity to introduce the place as we walked around and I noticed that she had a good impression of the place.We arrived at my room, I opened the door for them to enter and we sat at a rectangular table. I stood facing Anne.“Beautiful office” Anne commented, looking around, assessing the place." Thanks.“I had already heard o
Days later Luke Around noon, I was at home getting in touch with some “white wishes” partners, trying to accommodate Anne’s requests regarding marriage. I tried everything: call, message, email, whatever I could to get in touch. Obviously, some complained about the date of the event, but because it was me and the company, they considered it. In addition to live music, Anne wanted some singers to sing at her wedding and it was difficult to get in touch with agents because of the demand. I managed to get in touch with some of them, which was enough to improve my day, despite being exhausted. I responded to the last email and took a deep breath, taking a break, at the same moment I received a message on my cell phone. It was Thomas wanting to arrange a date and as we hadn't seen each other for a long time, I accepted immediately, taking advantage of the lunch break to see her. I wore blue jeans with a white blouse and tommy sneakers. I picked up my bag and walked to the door, when I o
Next morningIt was a beautiful sunny day, as well as being my day off. Living just a few meters from the beach, the best I could do was go there and feel my feet in the sand. So, Thomas and I are on the beach, under an umbrella, looking at the sea waves. It was relaxing to feel the breeze on your skin, along with the smell of the sea, making it a paradise.“I just love this beach... “Thomas sighed with a smile.“I had never been here before and I have to say it is beautiful!Two boys ran in front of us, which made Thomas smile sideways.“I like the landscape better,” she commented, biting her lip.I laughed and had to agree. I loved my friend's spontaneous and fun way. Thomas was the type of woman who spoke her mind without shame and was very fearless, unlike me who was always quiet in my corner. In fact, I was always focused on my work. Being a wedding event organizer required professionalism and perfection. Someone's dreams were in your hands.“Thomas...We both looked to the side
Jackson “What the fuck! “ I cursed in frustration, being in the room, while I felt the moisture between the legs of the woman who was with me in bed. Claire, a colorful friend of mine, who had sex from time to time, as neither of us wanted a serious commitment to each other. So we had an agreement between us that we would be friends with benefes. Personally I am bisexual, I like women and men. I had many girlfriends and boyfriends, because I don´t care if you are woman or man, if I like you, I will date you. Simple as that. " Who will be? “she groaned in frustration. I thought about continuing, but the doorbell insisted and I ended up giving up, giving her a light kiss and moving away from her. “It must be Izza, the building's daily cleaner. “I put on gray sweatpants, left the bedroom and went to the living room. Damn, my dog followed in my footsteps, walking me to the door, making sure everything was ok. Sexually frustrated, I opened the door, intending to ask her to come back
Jackson After a long day, I came home exhausted and dying to sleep. From work, I went to the gym which was like therapy for me. I undressed and went to the shower to take a shower. I felt the water running down my body, and the image of that unfriendly and beautiful neighbor came to mind. I didn't know for what purpose he invaded my mind out of the blue, maybe it was my conscience that said I possibly caused it. After all, who liked a noisy neighbor? It could also be because I couldn't accept the fact that he was the only person who didn't like me. Like this? It didn't make sense to me. I finished my shower, dried my body, put on sweatpants and a white t-shirt. I walked to the living room wanting to prepare my dinner and by chance I saw my book. This author was one of my favorites, I liked all of his books and they sent an important message to me. I've always liked reading, since I was a child, so hearing my neighbor comment that I didn't look like someone who read was absurd. I fou
LukeAt six o'clock in the morning I was already up and having breakfast, ready for a new day of work. I took care of my clothes, because in a little while she would have a meeting with Anne, at her parents' house. She wore a white shirt, with black pants, and white pants. Nothing exaggerated, but elegant. I finished my coffee, said goodbye to my little girl and left the apartment. Walking towards the elevator, I put the house keys in my small bag and when I went to press the button, it happened that Jackson was also nearby and we pressed the button to go down at the same time, touching each other's fingers.I was so intent on putting my keys in my bag that I didn't even notice that he was also close to the elevator. We barely looked at each other and a silence appeared between the two of us, if I weren't in a hurry and if I didn't live on the twentieth floor, I would take the stairs. Because after what happened, I didn't have the face to look
Next morning Luke My head hurt, it felt like the ceiling was spinning and I saw everything in a blurred way, not being sure where I was. I sighed and ran my hand over my head as I lifted my torso, then I felt the silky fur on my face and when I opened my eyes I saw the huge irises of my little dog staring at me, checking to see if she was alive. I was startled and sighed. I must have been used to it by now, as she always did this, but it was difficult to be indifferent. “Finally woke up sleepy.. “ Thomas commented, standing next to the cupboard, taking out the mugs and putting them on the table. “How long have I been sleeping? “ I stretched feeling like my head was going to explode. My dog approached me and I petted her. Thomas sighed and looked at the clock. " It's 11 o'clock!" " What! “I almost jumped off the couch worried. “My God, I have to work! “Don't worry, I spoke to your boss, explained your condition, said that you had a huge migraine and I had to take you to the ho
I barely left the room and went to the living room, where Thomas was, who had already made breakfast, bacon and fried eggs. We sat at the living room table next to each other.“Are you sure you're not going to tell the bride what an idiot her fiancé is? “ Thomas asked.“I'm not going, no one told me.”Thomas laughed loudly.“It's not my place to say that, it wouldn't be ethical and I'd rather earn the money in the account! Soon after their wedding, I will be free “I explained decisively and trying not to see it as a problem.“Looking back, there’s a point. I just don’t want you to get hurt.”I took a deep breath, thinking about what she told me about the state Jackson found me in.“Just out of curiosity, I was so bad when Jackson was here?“ I asked hoping to hear something different.Thomas just nodded confirming how devastated I was. I sighed, runni
