My parents are not at home, as they were at work and will not be back until later.I need to find a job as soon as possible. I have no idea where I will be able to get one, but I will start sending papers. I hadn't wanted to assimilate yet, but I have to get used to the idea that I will definitely settle down here in Madrid.I thought Italy would be my home forever, but then all that illusion vanished. Now thinking about that country means nothing more than remembering those painful events, and having to refuse the idea that my dream could not be fulfilled.I've been craving something sweet, and besides, it's been a while since I've made a dessert by myself. I take all the ingredients out of the cupboard, and prepare the rice pudding.I pour a good amount on a plate, and just as I'm about to put it in the fridge to cool it down, I hear the sound of cool down a bit, I hear the doorbell ring. When I open the door, I'm pleasantly surprised to see that Alexis is here."Alexis," I say wit

What's the best way to start your first day of work on what could be the opportunity of a lifetime? Of course, with a hangover.I shouldn't have agreed to go out with Pilar.After we left the first club we went to yesterday, she made us go to another one and we ended up drinking too much, except for Eva, who was the one who almost dragged us out.This morning I had to use all my willpower to get out of bed on time, and be able to get to the company on time. Fortunately I managed it, and now, five minutes before leaving, I am completely ready to start the day.I will have to go shopping, because technically I don't have any formal clothes, but I did my best."Claudia, it's time to go," Eva says from the hallway."I'll be right there," I reply, grabbing my purse."Holy mother of sinners!" exclaims Eva as she sees me in front of her, with a puzzled expression, which all it causes is an uncontrollable giggle to come out of me. "These are the moments in my life when you look so good, I'm t

Since yesterday, my mind has gone blank and there has been no way for me to process what happened.I didn't keep crying, I didn't come here to keep doing it, and I didn't allow myself to. However, it is impossible not to feel confused, hurt, and unable to control my emotions when it comes to him.I can't believe I saw him, I can't forget what he said to me, and I'd be lying to say that remembering his words doesn't hurt me, and so does his attitude. Nevertheless, it was like a revelation.It confirmed to me that I made the best decision, that separating from Alessandro was the best thing to do, and that once and for all I have to forget about him and let go of all bygones."Claudia, I'm leaving now," Eva says as she enters the kitchen, pulling me out of my thoughts."Here, I made you lunch," I say, holding out the lunch box I made for her."Clau," she says, taking it as she shakes her head. "You don't have to do this.""Sure I do, I'm not going to be in your house living for free doin

It has been too overwhelming to be inside that hospital, surrounded by all of them and all I need is to get out of here, and if possible, never to see them again in my life.In all the hours being in that place, I realized how much it affects me, and how bad it makes me feel to have those kinds of people around me, starting with him.I had to be the strongest I have ever been to be there. Hearing about the birth of his daughter, seeing him become a father now. Being in the most movie-like way, part of that moment that for me implied no joy whatsoever.It wasn't easy at all, it all brought back memories and memories of what I once wanted and could have been, but that didn't happen and now he is fulfilling with another woman.My soul once again feels bruised. However, even though difficult, I must be very clear that this should not affect me. Ale and I are no longer anything.After what I saw, I'm sure I couldn't have made a better decision. And that he is definitely not part of me anym

"You didn't bring someone into the room, did you?" Eva says, making me widen my eyes with exaggeration."What?" I exclaim, feigning indignation at her words. "Of course I didn't! Surely the smell came from someone outside and since I left the window open, it got in here.""I know, doll, I'm just kidding," she replies with a laugh. "But just so you know I have no problem with you wanting to, you know, have fun in the apartment. As long as you know damn well who you're doing it with.""Oh, okay?" I stammer looking for the sensible response to this. "Let's change the subject.""Okay." She lets out a chuckle."You know, I think I'm going to need to go shopping, I don't have a lot of formal clothes and starting tomorrow, I'll need them.""We can go out now, and while we're at it we can go eat.""Sounds perfect," I replied."Then I'll wait for you outside," she says, leaving the room.Once I make sure Eva is no longer nearby, I run to where I have my perfumes, and start spraying one of them
