"I told you this wouldn't stay like this," he said entering and closing behind him.
I could only nod and drop the phone in disbelief.
“Chris―”
"No," he cut me off pulling back his wet hair from his face. "You already spoke, I think it would be fair for me to speak now."
I nodded, walking backwards until my thighs hit the sofa’s armrest, but I didn't dare look away fearing this was all an illusion.
But then he started talking and I knew he was real.
“The day I get married,” he began to say with an icy voice “It will be for love and I’ll trust that my wife feels the same way for me. I’ll do my best to make her happy and never disappoint her, and I’ll try to be the best father to my children, an example to be follow, Helena. Do you understand me? I would never cheat.”
I gulped seeing his breathing quickening.
"And maybe I'm a fucking masochist, but I needed you to tell me face to face," he said with a steely voice as he ap

"Not again," I murmured against the pillow when I felt something walk down my back. "Not another snake." But unlike last time, when the snake woke me up, the weight was tiny and it felt different. Meow. I blew out my breath when I knew it was a cat and turned gently so as not to scare the animal until I was kneeling on the bed. "But you're so tiny," I said surprised to see the black kitten looking at me with interest between the sheets. Meow. I carried the kitten on my chest and marveled at how calm he stayed there and went in search of Helena. At some point in the night the light had come, but I didn’t even remember falling asleep, I was really exhausted since I didn’t feel when she left the bed. "He's still sleeping," I heard her say from the kitchen, "The poor man must be really tired." I stood on the door jamb with the cat still with me, and prepared to listen to the conversation with whoev

"I want the inventory of towels, oils, essences and nail polishes," I told Jenny without taking my eyes off my list, "You know what to do with the stained towels, I can't bear to see them on the shelves." "I told you to use towels of other colors," she replied chewing her gum in my ear as she was leaning over my shoulder. “Red is ordinary and doesn’t go well with the Zen style of my spa,” I replied feeling that my tension was accentuated with each chew that woman gave the gum “And I have told you a million times to leave that crap out of this place.” His mouth stopped automatically and my ear finally got silence. "I think you need to go for a run," my employee muttered before walking away from me. I sighed wearily as I leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes trying to relax. It wasn’t just Monday, but it was also the end of the month and that meant only one thing: inventory day. We'd spent the entire morning filing guest inf

"And then the... witch, told me to leave the questions for later, can you believe it? She loves to make fun of new parents.” "I can't imagine," I mumbled without paying much attention to Fred and a lot to my phone. I had tried to contact Helena all day, but hadn’t received any response from her, I suppose she was still annoyed by my work and I thought it’s understandable. "I asked her if she couldn't do something to make it spread its legs and to see the sex, and do you know what her answer was? That she wasn’t God to perform miracles! That woman hates me.” I looked up puzzled at that phrase. “Sofia didn't want to spread her legs?” I asked confused Fred looked perplexed at my answer. “The doctor!” He exclaimed annoyed, "Did you hear anything I said? I've been talking about the doctor's appointment for half an hour and you... hell, you didn’t pay attention to anything, right?” "Of course I did... the doctor didn't want t

One day when the light is glowing, I'll be in my castle golden but until the gates are open, I just wanna feel this moment Oh oh... I just wanna feel this moment Oh oh... I just wanna to feel this moment. Ah, Christina... how I loved this woman's voice. I took off my earbuds and turned to see Jimmy for a second, who was a few feet behind me looking like he was about to have a heart attack. “How are you doing, Jimmy?” I asked worried, but without stopping running. "Like a million bucks," he exclaimed between gasps. "It's only two miles to go, buddy," I yelled at him before picking up the pace. "It’s been twelve now, I think I can complete them by crawling." I put my earbuds back on without losing my smile and fully focused on my training. I know you're wondering who the hell Jimmy is, and well, I'm going to tell you: Jimmy has been my bodyguard for three days. Crazy, right? I'd never needed one i

Mark gave a hiss of appreciation as he leaned against the closed door. "Man... you scored well with her." And that made me feel... how was I supposed to feel? Mark had kept an eye on Helena and it didn’t feel good. Fred's chuckle made me realize that I was silent and staring at Mark, who looked surprised. “If looks could kill...” "Relax, Royce," Mark said uncomfortably moving from the door. "I'm married, but not blind. I’m just letting you know that your girlfriend is beautiful.” "I don't know how Olivia would feel knowing that you scanned another woman," I mumbled sitting down in my chair. I must have said something funny because he started laughing heartily. "He's new in this," Fred said laughing as well. "Thinks that our senses are only activated with our women." I gaped at both of them as they cracked up in laughter as they sat across from me. “You think Sofia doesn’t eyed men on the street?” Fred as

"It's a nice night, right?" Meow. “It will only be a few hours, you’ll have water, food and the house to yourself, Rolls.” Meow. I looked away from the city and looked amused at the cat in my arms. Every night was the same; I would sit in one of the chairs on the small balcony on the second floor and Rolls would climb onto my lap to be patted while Helena finished dinner. But tonight would be different, because for the first time, I would leave Rolls alone and go with my girlfriend and my friends for a night of drinks. God, I was too nervous about this whole matter, so much so that I was about to tell Helena to cancel the outing, but seeing her enthusiasm and joy on her face, I couldn’t do it. I got up from the chair, adjusted the gray shirt Helena had chosen for me and locked the French doors, and leaving the cat on the sofa, I went to find my girl to see what was taking her so long, when I stopped fr

“How do you feel, miss?” Dizzy, wanting to vomit, tired, scared. "Good," I mumbled looking away from the nurse. “You sure?” She asked doubtful "You have to be honest, otherwise you’ll be here longer until you tell the truth, you were about to overdose." Mother fucker. Drug addicts overdosed; I had barely had a marihuana brownie and it was like a binge in my teenage days, so I couldn't be called a junkie. But someone had injected me with a drug capable of killing and tried to kidnap me. I opened my mouth and told the nurse how I really felt and turned my face towards the closed door. I had overheard Christopher muttering something to the doctor when she left my room 15 minutes ago and he still hadn't come in to see me. "I'll be back in an hour to check your vital signs, but you should be fine with the serum and the fentanyl counteracting medicine." I nodded and stayed silent not wanting to

“What did you say?” I asked my breath stopping and my heartbeat quickening. Was I about to have a heart attack because of a love declaration? "That I love you," she repeated biting her lip and looking amused. It was definitely a heart attack. Why did she look amused? And what the hell was I doing now? “I... I...” "You... you..." She repeated leaning back laughing, giving me the opportunity to get up from the couch. I started pacing the room trying to calm myself down; Why was she acting this way? Was my reaction normal when you heard those words for the first time? At least when they were directed you? "I like this view," Helena muttered stretching lazily on the couch, "But why don't you come here with me, sexy? We can finish what we started a few minutes ago...” Where the hell did my voice go? Why couldn't I answer her? And why did she look so calm and not insulted or hurt by my lack of response? "You'r
