Sasha J. Morales -So how do you know Damon? According to Jonathan you were in the same classes at college but not with Damon -It was one of my sex plans. She says taking a spoonful of the ice cream she is holding. Not really surprising. Damon must have more sexual relationships than serious relationships under his belt. Awa finally invited us to her house. She had an apartment on the Upper East Side. And I must admit that she's pretty damn rich. At the same time, she is heir to a colossal fortune. -And it was a damn good move. I remember the day we did it in the pool at our house. it was unforgettable -lalalalalaa. June screams, putting both hands over her ears. I don't want to know how you got picked up by Damon or what positions he took you in. -It won't be the first time though. I say in a whisper. Awa smiles slyly puts down her ice cream and turns towards me. -Your turn Sasha, tell me about you. How did you know June and Damon? -How do you know I know Damon? -
Damon Westwood - And you asked her to jump out of the window?? ? But Damon she could have hurt herself!! You really are sick. June had been coming and going in my office for 30 minutes, laughing like crazy. She wanted a detailed explanation of my night with Sasha and since then she has only been laughing out loud. To add to that, I was in a bad mood and her laughter was starting to give me headaches. - You already know the story. I know Sasha told you everything so why are you bothering me? - Orh my little darling is annoyed by me?? I don't care! I plan to have a little laugh. Plus it’s always more fun to know both sides of the story. You both are great acts. She eventually calms down and regains her serious demeanor. Believing that I will finally be able to breathe and work peacefully, she sits in the chair in front of me.Despite her serious demeanor, I'm sure she's going to spout nonsense. After all it's all June -So Damon, do you know what happened
Sasha J. Morales Have I thought carefully about the decision I am about to make? Of course not. My impulsiveness was going to lead to my losses one of these days but I really didn't care. The fact that Jonathan made the decision to invite my parents without talking to me first upset me to a point he cannot imagine. Forcing myself to see my mother again is like forcing myself to hug a cactus. Painful and especially not necessary. It will be a bit of Jonathan's punishment after all no one wants them and I don't want to put them in the trash. My heels click on the marbled floor that leads to June's apartment. I hope she's there and not in a compromising position since I'm stopping by unexpectedly. I raise my arm and am about to hit it but it opens on its own and I barely miss hitting it in the face. -Come on, get out… I don’t want to see you anymore! It's June's voice I hear and she's angry. I take the time to look up to see the object of his anger and I can see a mixed race man
Sasha J. Morales -There's no way you can go alone? -Hmm, I don’t think it’s ideal. Please Sasha It was Saturday, an ordinary weekend for others but not for me. This Saturday marked an important turning point in my life. I went to see my parents again, after 6 years. I was anxious, stressed and especially wanted to vomit but I refrained from showing my discomfort to John since he seemed delighted to go pick them up from the airport and insisted that I accompany him. My parents traveled from Chicago and he thought I should at least make the effort to be there when they arrived. But I didn't want to. -You know I'm not going to run away if you leave me alone to go get them Or maybe yes -I trust you but I refuse to take the risk, so you come with me, go stand up. I was still lying in my pajamas from the day before trying to think of a lie to delay the confrontation but John saw through my game a little too quickly. He pulls my feet and forces me to get out of bed, limits if he do
Sasha J. Morales Silence. Nobody speaks anymore. You could almost hear the flies flying. You could say I just ruined the mood. After all, I was tired of hearing her talk about me as if she knew me. As if she had nothing to reproach herself for -What ? Go on, keep going. I say, emptying my glass in one go. Tell them how you wanted to sell me to save a so-called friendship with the mother of my rapist, please mom. She seems embarrassed, uncomfortable. Well that's not my problem. Jonathan squeezes my thigh to signal me to stop and calm down but I don't give a damn. She was the one who started it. -And you, Dad? Please tell me how you didn't want to believe me when I told you what that idiot did to me?? I pause and look at them in turn. You have nothing more to say?? Well that's what I thought. I get up, ignoring the cries of John and my friends. I just revealed an important part of my life in front of Jonathan's parents and people I don't know, I'm angry at myself but I was t
Damon Westwood -So I'm going to paint her portrait again. Good thing I always thought he needed a rhinoplasty. I can't help but laugh. June was as usual in my office sprawled on my couch as if she didn't have work waiting. I told her what happened with Ella a week ago now, but she refuses to let it go and comes to my office every chance she gets to curse her. -Damon, I have a serious question for you -Try to ask her and we'll see if she's serious or not. -How did you manage to marry this….thing? I frown as I look at her. Really ? This thing ? -A bad turn of fate I would say In truth, I never thought I would marry a woman like Ella. -Definitely yes. Destiny has a funny sense of humor. She starts laughing. Destiny makes you marry a woman you don't love after you fall in love with her best friend. The irony of it. I roll my eyes excessively. Well with her these last days it happens a lot, I think I will be able to see my brain by doing it. -June, my darling we have a parade
Damon Westwood Sasha has just left and I feel like she just left me in the middle of an erupting volcano. Ella looks like she's about to explode and if she does in the hallway we risk becoming the subject of gossip for days to come. This has already been the case for a while but I didn't care but now it risks ruining my plan if it reaches my father's ears. I pull her into my office before she starts making a scene. -Let me go Damon!! Let go of me right now! She breaks free from my grip and glares at me. -How dare she show up here? And behave like this? She comes and goes in my office and I just sit on the couch in my office. -And you let her do what you want! No, but what’s wrong with you? She's so mad with rage that I think smoke is going to come out of her ears. As for me, his spectacle neither warms nor colds me. I just stare at her, looking perfectly bored. -Tell me Damon, where were you with her? -On the roof -And why do ? -She needed comfort and a quie
Sasha J. Morales -Are you going to continue to sulk at me for much longer? Jonathan tries as best he can to cheer me up but I don't make it that easy for him. It’s true that he was educated in a united and loving family, I was not as lucky as him. And I understand that he insists on reconciling me with my parents. I don't mind his ideal, but the fact that he doesn't support me puts a damper on my morale. -I'm not sulking at you, Jonathan, just that I don't feel the need to talk to you at the moment. He probably looks annoyed by my behavior but I don't care if he's annoyed that he's having a drink like I'm doing. That will surely calm him down. He pulls out the stool in front of me and grabs a drink. He imitates me and we drink our respective drinks in cathedral silence. The house is empty, my parents are out shopping and it's just us. He puts down his glass. -Sasha please. He said in a whisper. I hate it when we're cold. Already with your parents, the atmosphere at home is not
