16-OLIVIA
I felt like Willy Wonka's obese kid as I watched the Purple Dreams
billboard.I was outside the offices and right in front of me, I could appreciate the beauty of my work.
I could see my brother’s beautiful body, showing me his back while walking between the vines, his clothes consisted of some worn jeans, rubber boots and a straw hat; His arms were spread out at his sides and his head was thrown back, staring up at the sky as dusk fell.
Beautiful.
It was just beautiful, and not just because it was my brother, but because of everything.
I have always thought that simplicity is the true essence of my work and the image in front of me proved me right.
This was a small teaser
for the campaign itself; a sample to make Matt's wine known before exposing the name of the vineyard and its types of wines.At f

An hour later,I walkedintomy office and when I was in front of Alex, Ipunched himin his left shoulder.“Ouch!What iswrong with you?” Heasked rubbing himself.“Stay away from her. You hear me?Stay away from her!” Iexclaimed waving my index finger in front of his face, as if he were a child being scolded.“Forthe love of God,Mark!What are you talking about?” “Olivia. Who else?”“Ah...” he had the nerve to smile.” Well, you have bad times, but not bad tastes, uh?”Annoyed, I lashed out at him again.I don't think I never said this, but I’d never been in a fight andmaybe that's why I ended up with my right arm behind my back.“If I wanted to hurt you, you’d already be on the ground choking on your own saliva.” Hesaid in my ear “But sinc

"I'm downstair,baby"Hisbabymade me even more nervous than I already was.I passed my wet palms overmy stomach in an attempt to dry them, then I remembered I was wearing a threethousand dollars Carolina Herrera I stopped.I don't know what I expected to find tonight, what's worst, I shouldn't be dressed up to go to a charity show ateighto'clock ona Tuesdaynight, much less as Mark's companion.Yesterday,my answer was going to be a clear and concise no, because I knew that acceptingthis datewould lead us to a point of no return in this relationship. You see?There shouldn't even be the word relationship between us, but of course, he puts his mouth on mine or on any other part of my anatomy and every neuron in my brain stops working.Speaking of mouth...

Three days.It had been three long, torturous days since I lastsawOlivia.Seven text messages sent and none answered.The last I heard from her,thanks to Elizabeth,wasthat shehad traveled to Chicago to sort out some details with other publicity events she was supposed to cover.I got out of the elevator like a lost soul, without even saying good morning to Nina, who looked nervous.That was weird.“Sir.” she got up right away with an agenda in hand “First you have a meeting with Mr. Kristopolis atnine, then attenthe group of investors from Los Angeles will come to talk about the new ecological game console,then...”“Nina.” I cut her off immediately feeling violent at all the chattering “Clear my morning, and move it all over to the afternoon, it's Friday,okay?Give me a break.”“Sir.” she&n

As promised, Mark had stayed away from me in the weeks that followed.He greeted me cordially with agood morningorgood afternoon,but beyond that, nothing happened.The incursions into our offices during working hours were over, as well as looking for some touching, the looks full of promise, the sensual and wet stolen kisses in a hall, elevator or car.And his insistence on wanting to make me change my mind about our relationship ended too;Although his insistence had exasperated me, today I missed it too much.Every time I saw him in the corridors of the company or in the conference room, I wanted to start screaming like crazy and tell him to take me right there in front of everyone so they’ll found out we were together for once.But that was impossible, at least for me, because I knew I hurt him again with my way of acting, but I preferred to see him with broken f
