RaykaWe eat in silence, I am finishing the potatoes when my cell phone starts ringing and I see its Kaneki, I imagine he has some news, by now he must have managed to board the Sovereign to take the farm. I hope he took my threat seriously and it's not Kaleo on the other end of the line.“There you go.” I say as I pick up.“Hi Rayka.” Kaneki speaks. “We just loaded Sovereign on the truck Paul sent as soon as he's settled at the farm I will let you know.”“That's right Kaneki and thanks again.”“Help yourself if you need anything just ask.” Speak and hang up.They were pretty fast, but it's no surprise, when Powell's name is in the conversation, everything happens at lightning speed. At least now my boy will be in a safe and quiet place and will soon meet his new home.“All right, Rayka?” Ness asks.“Yes, they are already taking Sovereign to the farm.”“Rayka, I know this is none of my business and you don't want anyone getting involved, but can I ask you a question?” Allan asks.I im
RaykaWe continue walking around the park, Bryan insists on going to the target practice and there we get several plush keychains with emoji faces, I get myself and the girls a metal one in the shape of a puzzle, in the middle it says, "best friend" and one fits the other.In the ring game, only the boys try, and everyone manages to win, Bryan gives Liz a Stitch stuffed animal, Gael gives me Fergus, Charles offers Pooh to Ness and Allan offers Mushu to Sarah.“I saw this red stuffed toy; I thought it would suit you.” Allan speaks in that gallant way of his, which irritated me the minute I met him, because it reminded me too much of Bryan.“You needn't have bothered.”Sarah's attitude makes me realize that she is not comfortable with Allan around.“'It's no bother at all darling, just accept it.” Allan insists.“Okay, thank you.”I realize that she is only accepting out of politeness. I think she was more upset than she showed with his attitude towards my victory, from what they said h
RaykaAs soon as I get on stage, the lead singer comes up and hugs me, and even though I am surprised, I return the gesture. Although he is young, he is very handsome, but I have never liked boys younger than me, and I throw my hat away if he is over twenty.“I have always liked blondes, but seeing your beautiful brunette I will change, because your beauty is so great that it is making me fall in love.”“Rayka, tell us how it was for you to ride that bull tonight?” Asks the other singer.“It was exciting.”“And you didn't feel a bit scared?”“Of course, I did, fear makes us cautious, we just can't let it incapacitate us. And having rodeo in our DNA helps a little bit.” I laugh.“I am not sure if it helped, but the fact is that you put on a great show. "Now tell me, are you single, engaged, married, separated, widowed or in a relationship?" I ask another singer in the band.” Asks another singer in the band.I find this option funny, it fits well with Liz's situation with Bryan, since h
RaykaWhen it's close to midnight, I start looking around because I need to find a place to do our tradition. Since the girls and I started spending New Year's Eve together, we have created a tradition of being in a place where we can jump and put our right foot on the ground first, for good luck in the coming year.The best place to do this is on the planks that are around the field, and so the sand will also absorb the impact a little, which will help a lot, especially Liz who is wearing stiletto heels.The singer starts the 60-second countdown, and I ask the boys to help us climb the fence, Liz stays in the middle, so as not to take too much risk when jumping. We sit down, take off our hats, letting them hang around our necks, and hold hands with each other.“May our friendship remain firm, no matter the storms.” I speak.“May this year be filled with many joys.” Ness speaks.“May all our dreams come true.” Liz speaks.“May we win the victory in our achievements.” Sarah speaks.We
RaykaWhen we arrive at the hotel, the girls say good night and go up to their rooms, and although I don't know how long Liz and Bryan will take to arrive, I believe that if it is fast Gael will not leave soon after, and although it is very late, I don't think it will be nice to stay in the lobby armchairs talking and much less kissing, in the lounge that has in my suite there is a sofa that we can be a little more comfortable.At the stadium Gael said he didn't expect anything else for today, I hope he told the truth.“Gael, do you agree to come up to the room with me to talk, just talk.” I repeat so that there is no doubt.“That's fine, but if you don't feel comfortable, we can stay right here.”“It's not that, I just didn't want you to have any hope of anything more.”“Rest assured I don't.”I hold my ogre babies in one arm and hold out my hand to him, heading for the elevator. As soon as the elevator doors close, I let go of his hand and run my finger along the belt loop of his pa
RaykaI get up in the morning completely refreshed, I don't know what was in that medicine Gael gave me yesterday, but it made me sleep wonderfully well. I send a message in our group to see if the girls have woken up yet, but I don't get a response, I opt to use room service and order breakfast, I just order a portion of waffles with maple syrup and fruit and a strawberry juice.This year most of the customs that the girls and I have for our date have been left aside, I know that it's partly my fault that I ended up spending too much time with Gael yesterday, but I know they won't fight, because it's the first time in years that I'm really happy to be with someone, the other times were mostly blind dates organized by friends, but they never made my heart beat stronger, not even with Yohan, who was the closest I had to a boyfriend after breaking up with Kaleo.Wanting to relax while the girls don't wake up, I turn on the faucet to fill the bathtub while I eat my waffles. I'm going to
RaykaWithout much to do, I lie there and think about my mother's advice, did Gael touch my heart as my mother assumed? I know he touched me, I can't deny that, but will I be able to live a long-distance relationship again? Will I be able to let go of my insecurities, or will I always be insecure?I don't know what to think, the best thing is to let things go their way naturally, besides I don't even know if Gael will want to be with me today, and even if he does, he may not want anything after that, after all it may have been fun for just one day, just like when people go to Vegas, with the only difference that we are in Texas.I take the opportunity to look for him on the internet and find his facebook profile, I go to the photos part, there are many with family captions, I see a photo from a year ago with 3 beautiful girls, his sisters, and apparently beauty is a family gift. I find a photo in which he was tagged, it's from a restaurant with Valentine's Day decoration, he's hugging
RaykaAs soon as we finish eating, the girls decide to go to their rooms to get ready and organize things to leave, because from Allan's house, we will stay straight at the airport.I ask Bryan to stay a little longer, because I want to talk to him privately, I need to know if he really isn't playing with Liz's feelings. We sit on the couch, and I face him, getting straight to the point.“Bryan, Liz has already told me her part about what happened yesterday, now I want to know from you, what do you want? Are you really willing to go through with this or are you just doing it because yesterday people insinuated that you were gay?”“I won't say I was thinking about dating at the moment, for me it was fine the way things were.” Just for he that is. “But yesterday Liz was firm, and I could see she wasn't joking, so I decided to give it a go and see what comes of it.”If he's really willing to try, I'm relieved, but that's not enough.“But are you really going to dedicate yourself to this
