Chapter 8

• When I woke up it was five in the morning, I cursed out loud as I had to be early at my post and I don't have much time to get out of here, with stealth I got up and went out in a panic, "Shit I don't have for the cab" I went back inside the apartment and searched in his wallet for some money "Damn!" I was dumbfounded when I saw that his wallet was full of hundred dollar bills.
• Hearing his muttering I grabbed what I needed and ran out. Luckily I arrived precisely at 7:00 am. I spent the day thinking about how great my night with Victor was and how great it would be to do it again, but I couldn't this time since I missed my classes and had to make them up.
• As I walked into my room, my roommate told me that Lucas was waiting for me late at the door, I asked him if he had told her what he wanted but all he said was that he wanted to talk to me so I didn't take it seriously
• —Oh, he also left this.
• My roommate gives me a note he left "Forgive me, please, I will never love someone the same way I did you" Before, this would have meant a lot to me, but now, things are different, he is dating Erika Why is he leaving this to me".
• Since it's something I don't care anymore I threw it in the trash and threw myself on my bed while closing my eyes wishing it wasn't so hard the studies, I just wanted to get some sleep so I let myself get tired and when I was starting to dream about my fascinating sugar dady someone shouted in my ear so loud that I got up suddenly but my legs got tangled with my backpack and I fell off the bed
• —What, what, what?
• I look at my classmate who is holding back the urge to laugh, I roll my eyes as this is the second time she has done this to me, the first time was when I started this year and was new to her jokes.
• —If you don't want me to be your roommate, just tell me and I'll find another room.
• —They're looking for you downstairs.
• I frowned as the only person dumb enough to look for me at this time of night was Lucas. "Oh... it can't be!" I blinked in disbelief of what I was seeing, I jumped in panic when I saw the situation, when I saw Victor my skin crawled because he was talking to my boss "What the hell is my boss doing here?"
• —Mey... hi. —I smile at my boss when he greets me —I just wanted to tell you that tomorrow we have a party in the company and I need you to organize some things for me while I come back —he hands me an iPad —Victor.
• As he walks away from us and leaves I was about to leave too but he stops me by telling me to get in his car now. I turn around and smile sarcastically.
• —No." —I suddenly felt him grab my arm as he looks around us —Hey what the hell is wrong with you idiot! —The hardness of his look made me understand that he doesn't like the presence of my boss —Hey, he's my boss, besides, I don't understand why you're mad, we're nothing that I remember.
• —I told you I didn't want you to be there anymore.
• —I need the money, I'm not rich in case you don't remember and don't even think about telling me that you'll give it to me, —I saw his intentions to say it —I'm not a prepaid girl besides I don't want my ex's family to think that I'm sleeping with you to support me, if they already thought I was with him because of his stepfather's money, I don't want to think about what they will say about me if....
• —You care so much about what they say.
• "Are you seriously asking me that?"
• —Vic... after years you show up in your son's life, and out of nowhere he ends up with girlfriend of almost three years relationship and then they find out he's dating his father. do you think it will look good?
• —So you qualify it as dating," she smiles.
• —I don't qualify it that way, because it won't happen, your son was very clear with the tastes you have for women, operated and with a wasp waist, not an ugly and insipid one like me.
• —And if you believe that, why do we keep having sex when it only happened by mistake once?
• —I don't know, at first it was for revenge, now... I don't care about that, my boyfriend, the one I thought I loved, is dating my supposed best friend, I don't think that will do much good for my future.
• He stops looking at me and keeps his hands on the steering wheel, I wanted to know what he was doing here but I was tired and I have work tomorrow.
• —The position that the human resources lady told you... it was an excuse for you to come to my office, but I didn't expect you to tell Lucas everything, that's why I told you that would be your position, —I look at him but then I stop doing it because he makes me nervous— I was going to give you the assistant position to have you closer.
• —Really? —I never lied when I told my son that I liked you," he nods.
• Every beat of my heart was like the beat of a drum, his voice, his look had me fascinated, not even when I met Lucas I felt this, it's like I felt a stomach ache "I guess that's what mom meant about feeling butterflies in my stomach."
• I pass saliva when I feel his hand is on my hot cheek, I close my eyes when I feel the touch of his lips on mine, his breath was so warm that I was completely lost
• —It can't be...
• I open my eyes when I feel him moving away from me, I see him get out of the car looking towards the entrance of the campus "Fuck!" I got out of the car too when I saw Erika coming with Lucas. When they were about three feet away, they both look at the iPad I'm holding.
• —Now you accept gifts from my dad, so you are after all?
• —Bite your tongue before you say something stupid idiot. —I said pissed off at what I was about to say.
• —Mey is right, watch what you say because I didn't give her anything as a gift and even if I did, she wouldn't accept it like your current girlfriend does, her boss gave her that iPad a few minutes ago for the party we were invited to.
• —Do you work at Clark Industries?
• I cocked an arrogant smile, "Of course I do. And unlike you, I earned my job, I didn't need anyone to get it. —I told you Victor, your son is an idiot who thinks I'm like the one who claimed to be my friend, so please don't insist that I go back to him, because love is not harmful.
• She said goodnight to me and then walks away leaving me confused by what she just said. The girl I gave the secretarial position to looks at me in sorrow and walks away, shooting murderous looks at my son, leaving us alone.
• My son looks at me questioningly, I tell him to get in the car and he does so without saying anything.
• —Do you really want me to go back to Maya?
• "Actually it's something that has me uncertain."
• —She's a good girl.
• —She is. —I'm the idiot who gets jealous all the time when I see her with another guy... or with you.
• —Lucas... what happened that night was... strange. I didn't even know who she was, I met her that night you introduced her to me and that's when I knew she was the same girl who thought my room was the exit door to the bar. She did what she did because she's hurt by what you keep doing.
• —But I just don't feel like she wants to come back to me.
• —Of course he's not coming back. —She wants something more from you and you know that. Forgiving an infidelity is not easy and much more when you love.
• He sighs disappointed
• —Did you like doing it with her?
• I smile as it's a question I don't intend to answer.
• —I notice how she looks at you... and it makes me sick dad, I still love her and I don't know what to do to get her back. Just thinking that you were with her and that you took her away from me....
• —Lucas, let's not talk about it anymore, my time is limited here and if I came back it was to spend time with you. What happened with that girl doesn't matter to me.
• —You're right. I forget that you are married. —The way he said it was like a reminder that he wanted to forget —When is my sister coming?
