Chapter 5 See you

  • When I managed to fully recover from the impact of Gabriel's words, I entered the room
  • - Miss Smith - Professor Jackson called my attention - thank you for honoring us with your presence, but I think you should settle down now so that your classmates can continue learning - I looked at my watch and I could see that it was indeed late.
  • - I'm sorry Mr. Jackson - I hurried and took a seat, Professor Jackson, Erick, was very young. That is why he treated us so harshly, he is barely five years older than us, in my opinion, he did it so that they would respect him despite his age.
  • – I love that man, one day I'm going to get him to listen to me – Estefanía is in love, or so she says – with him; from the first day she gave us classes, she has been over a year. But every time she makes a try at him. Let me think of a suitable word, he kindly declines it, I say this to be condescending, one day she asked him if she had a character problem, that for him she was being a little light. Everyone knows what she meant with that scathing comment.
  • - Leave the poor man already - I told her trying to dissuade her from continuing to harass the man
  • - We all don't have your luck - she said looking at Gabriel, I followed her eyes and he waved at us and one of those panties-melting smiles that he has so great. - that one is crazy about you. – She put on a pitiful face – others of us must fight for what we want
  • "You have no choice," I told him and laughed.
  • – Ladies please, if you are not going to attend my class
  • They are welcome to retire - the teacher called our attention
  • - I'm sorry, Mr. Jackson - Estefanía apologized, I think she was the only person she did it with.
  • We left the University and it was already getting dark
  • – Now how do we get back home?
  • - How did we get here - Estefanía replied, her mood was spoiled by another rudeness of her platonic love
  • - If you get in that bad mood every time tea is rude, you're going to get old soon - Kayla told her - I would take them home, but I have an important commitment - Estefanía and I knew it was pure garbage, she wouldn't even help her mother if she needed it, but it didn't matter because we didn't expect anything from her, she walked away to the parking lot
  • - hello neighbors - we hear Gabriel's voice behind us - do you want a ride?
  • - I do want it - I said without even thinking, my feet were crying for him, he damaged the one I subjected them to all day, and neither they nor I were adapted
  • - Yes Gabriel, please take her home, I need to solve something before going - said Estefanía, she had that face she makes when she is more than determined to do something, the scary face. I laughed at my thought.
  • - It's not that I need help to get home - I complained about how she asked her to take me home. Estefanía didn't even pay attention to me, she headed for the teachers' building
  • – I don't want to be in the shoes of the person she's going to see – Gabriel said – get in the car – I didn't pay attention to her authoritative voice, I just did what she asked. It was the best moment of the whole day, feeling my body in a comfortable seat, he got in and turned on the air conditioning of the car
  • - This is heaven - I said, I leaned back in the seat and closed my eyes - I needed it - my voice came out honeyed for the pleasure of feeling comfortable
  • - I like that tone of voice - Gabriel said starting the car
  • – what tone of voice? I widened my eyes when answering.
  • - the one you just used - he stared at me - it can make a man imagine many things - he pulled the car out of the parking lot, and I felt my cheeks burning. - Do not take it the wrong way, I only say what I think
  • Why do you think I took it badly? - asked
  • - It's that you're looking at me with a scared face and your cheeks are red, it looks like they're going to catch fire - I didn't take it the wrong way, but no man had ever told me this before.
  • - I didn't take it badly
  • - I'm glad to hear it - I closed my eyes again - if I like you - I heard it and my heart jumped, I opened my eyes again and looked at him fixedly - if you keep looking at me like that, you're going to open a hole in my face. better say something
  • - I don't know what to say, I never thought that a man like you would notice me - I told him no man had ever noticed me.
  • – A man like me? What do you mean by that?
  • – Do you want me to compliment you?
  • - Not at all - he stopped at a traffic light - I seriously don't know what you mean when you say a man like me. I am quite normal. – He had to be joking to say that, he, normally doesn't have a hair
  • – You're handsome – he started the car, but he didn't say anything, not even a gesture – nice, for this great car. It looks like you have money. - I paused - that's what I mean - he was silent for a moment
  • "I don't think anything you said is like that," he finally said, after keeping me on edge for a while.
  • – what do you think is not so? Which of the things I said?
  • – Yes, I'm handsome – he said in a haughty tone, I laughed – I have a mirror in my house – but nothing else, I'm not nice, let alone have money.
  • - year?
  • - No, I hope that doesn't take away the opportunity to have something with you - when he said this, the car was already entering the parking lot of the building.
  • - I do not understand what you mean. He stopped the car and turned to me.
  • – Moon, I know who you are. What are you adapted to? I would never be able to give you something like that. I'm a simple manager of a cafe, if I was able to buy a car like this - I looked at it stunned - it's because I made an effort and because I owe a lot of money to the bank. But my bank account is almost at zero.
  • - I think your explanation is great, but let me clarify something - I'm very upset that you thought you had to give me this explanation - I'm not interested in your bank account, and I would prefer that you not know who I am. That would save us a lot of trouble. - I took my bag and opened the door to get out of the car - when you like a person, for the next one - I clarified - I'll make sure I know her before judging and believing that you should give this kind of uncomfortable explanation - I got out and made my way to the apartment that he shared with Estefanía
  • "Luna, wait" he yelled at me standing at the car door.
  • – See you tomorrow at work, Gabriel. I will not be late. – It always bothers me that people prejudge me, but I didn't think he was going to do it. That's why I felt more disappointed.
