Days later
Luke
Around noon, I was at home getting in touch with some “white wishes” partners, trying to accommodate Anne’s requests regarding marriage. I tried everything: call, message, email, whatever I could to get in touch. Obviously, some complained about the date of the event, but because it was me and the company, they considered it.
In addition to live music, Anne wanted some singers to sing at her wedding and it was difficult to get in touch with agents because of the demand. I managed to get in touch with some of them, which was enough to improve my day, despite being exhausted.
I responded to the last email and took a deep breath, taking a break, at the same moment I received a message on my cell phone. It was Thomas wanting to arrange a date and as we hadn't seen each other for a long time, I accepted immediately, taking advantage of the lunch break to see her. I wore blue jeans with a white blouse and tommy sneakers. I picked up my bag and walked to the door, when I opened it I saw a man in front of me.
“Good morning... “Jackson was holding a small box. “Miss Luke Yunan, I believe that is his name.
“ Yes... You must be Jackson. “I looked at him remembering that we hadn't even introduced ourselves to each other.
“I believe this order belongs to you. “ Jackson looked at me with a mischievous smile, and from that alone I already knew what he was talking about.
I couldn't believe this had happened. I immediately picked up my order, which was a cardboard box and opened the lid slightly, almost freaking out knowing that he saw what was inside.
“Did you open my box? “I asked indignantly.
“I thought it was my order, because I'm also waiting for one, so... “Jackson shrugged.
I took a deep breath, not believing he opened my order.
“The normal thing would be for you to respect my privacy and hand me the box without opening it!
“I would have respected it, if I had known it was yours. Besides, there's nothing shocking in the box, it's just a penis vibrator, relax. “ Jackson laughed mockingly, irritating me even more.
I swallowed hard and opened the box again, just to confirm that this was really happening and my shame was only increasing.
He looked at me with that pervert smile.
“Exactly, it’s no big deal” I stated, trying to act indifferent. “You are very irritating and nosy, opening up what is not yours...“ she said irritably, not wanting to know if he knew or not.
I had ordered a penis vibrator for myself and put in the new address, new city, new year and new penis vibrator, but it was more like a new debauchery and new shame.
“I'm not nosy, we have a common name, Rock... That's why this confusion “he spoke calmly.
" Clear! “ I exclaimed, looking away, unable to bear the mocking expression. My name was Luke Rock Yunan and of course he had to be Jackson Rock, unfortunately for me. " Anything else?
"So you are gay, han?
" Is not of you business, but yes! I am gay! so what?"
"Just curious!"
"Anything else?"
“No. Thank you and you’re welcome,” he said, because I hadn’t thanked him.
I closed the door, dying of shame. How was it possible, he and I had a name in common and I still had the misfortune of him seeing what I ordered. I could still hear Jackson laughing at me in the most derisive way possible, as if he was taking revenge for the fact that I interrupted his party. I took a deep breath, acting as if it didn't faze me and placed the box on the table, I looked at my new toy for a while and to be honest I loved it. A penis vibrator, butterfly brand, in purple. I loved! I couldn't have chosen better and if someone saw my toy, they could only say that I had good taste. Ready.
I left my apartment and went to the scheduled meeting, which was at a restaurant close to my house. I entered the place and saw Thomas, sitting waiting for me. We looked at each other and smiled at each other, got closer and hugged.
" Good to see you. “I hugged her tightly.
" Miss you friend. “He hugged me even more.
After a warm hug, we sat down at a round table facing each other. The restaurant was very beautiful, simple but beautiful, and I loved it.
"How are you?
“I'm well and happy, I loved the city, it's my first time here” I said, looking around. Soon a waiter approached and handed us the menu. Thomas chose his dish.
“I suggest filet mignon, it’s delicious!"
I smiled and nodded and asked for what he suggested.
“ Have you already gone out to see the city? “ Thomas smiled excitedly.
“Not yet, I've barely arrived and I already have an event to organize,” he said, sighing.
“That's good news. “ Thomas smiled. “ And your apartment? Did you like it?
“I loved it, I'll pay for it for many years, but it's worth it. Not to mention that the neighborhood is quiet and safe, that’s enough for me,” I commented and at that moment the waiter served us the drink. I had ordered a cocktail and my friend had ordered a cider.
“ Are the neighbors nice? “ Thomas asked excitedly.
“They are... “I said, making a disgusted face, remembering Jackson. " To mean..."
Thomas stared at me, noticing my bad mood.
“There's a neighbor who's an idiot! In addition to being a real party animal, he is a busybody. You can tell there’s nothing in that empty head,” I commented irritably.
“He must be single. “Thomas started laughing, taking a sip of his drink.
“A few days ago, he threw a party that went until midnight, with loud music! I went there to complain and he acted as if I was in the wrong... “I explained indignantly.
Thomas laughed once again.
“What a lazy guy! It's absurd to have something like that in a building, it's called noise pollution,” I complained and seeing that she didn't comment anything, I asked: “Don't you agree?
“ I agree, he must have lost track of time. Single men are like that, neighbors are like that,” Thomas commented, laughing.
“ A little playboy, loose and nosy and... “I got more nervous talking about Jackson and remembering what happened earlier.
“Wow, wow... “Thomas looked at me. “He really bothers you, huh!?
“I didn't like him, that's it,” I said, thinking about him and admiring how someone could be beautiful and irritating at the same time. “Not to mention that he is nothing more than an stupid person."
" Like what? “He looked at me without understanding.
“Oh, friend, you won’t believe it. Remember that sex shop website you recommended to me? “I commented and she confirmed it by nodding her head. “So the package arrived, but not at my apartment, but at his!
Thomas widened his eyes and opened his mouth, in disbelief.
“Well, he saw the dick vibrator I ordered."
Thomas laughed loudly.
“He simply opened my order, with the excuse that he thought it was his, because we have a name in common. “I squinted my eyes.
Thomas laughed even harder.
“Absurd, what a guy... Ugh... “I couldn't even finish the sentence.
“ Maybe he thought it was his, you are on the same floor."
I shook my head.
" Then! You can't blame him for the doorman messing up the delivery. “ Thomas lifted his shoulders.
“I know, but wow, I was embarrassed,” I said, putting my hand on my head, imagining what Jackson could be thinking.
“But then, at least he's handsome.”
“I didn't even notice” I denied, remembering the day I saw his huge body parading in the pool, like a Greek god. He was not a man to go unnoticed, because in addition to having presence, he was handsome. His beard enhanced his masculine features, making him more attractive, but it didn't negate the fact that I found him insolent.
Next morningIt was a beautiful sunny day, as well as being my day off. Living just a few meters from the beach, the best I could do was go there and feel my feet in the sand. So, Thomas and I are on the beach, under an umbrella, looking at the sea waves. It was relaxing to feel the breeze on your skin, along with the smell of the sea, making it a paradise.“I just love this beach... “Thomas sighed with a smile.“I had never been here before and I have to say it is beautiful!Two boys ran in front of us, which made Thomas smile sideways.“I like the landscape better,” she commented, biting her lip.I laughed and had to agree. I loved my friend's spontaneous and fun way. Thomas was the type of woman who spoke her mind without shame and was very fearless, unlike me who was always quiet in my corner. In fact, I was always focused on my work. Being a wedding event organizer required professionalism and perfection. Someone's dreams were in your hands.“Thomas...We both looked to the side
Jackson “What the fuck! “ I cursed in frustration, being in the room, while I felt the moisture between the legs of the woman who was with me in bed. Claire, a colorful friend of mine, who had sex from time to time, as neither of us wanted a serious commitment to each other. So we had an agreement between us that we would be friends with benefes. Personally I am bisexual, I like women and men. I had many girlfriends and boyfriends, because I don´t care if you are woman or man, if I like you, I will date you. Simple as that. " Who will be? “she groaned in frustration. I thought about continuing, but the doorbell insisted and I ended up giving up, giving her a light kiss and moving away from her. “It must be Izza, the building's daily cleaner. “I put on gray sweatpants, left the bedroom and went to the living room. Damn, my dog followed in my footsteps, walking me to the door, making sure everything was ok. Sexually frustrated, I opened the door, intending to ask her to come back
Jackson After a long day, I came home exhausted and dying to sleep. From work, I went to the gym which was like therapy for me. I undressed and went to the shower to take a shower. I felt the water running down my body, and the image of that unfriendly and beautiful neighbor came to mind. I didn't know for what purpose he invaded my mind out of the blue, maybe it was my conscience that said I possibly caused it. After all, who liked a noisy neighbor? It could also be because I couldn't accept the fact that he was the only person who didn't like me. Like this? It didn't make sense to me. I finished my shower, dried my body, put on sweatpants and a white t-shirt. I walked to the living room wanting to prepare my dinner and by chance I saw my book. This author was one of my favorites, I liked all of his books and they sent an important message to me. I've always liked reading, since I was a child, so hearing my neighbor comment that I didn't look like someone who read was absurd. I fou
LukeAt six o'clock in the morning I was already up and having breakfast, ready for a new day of work. I took care of my clothes, because in a little while she would have a meeting with Anne, at her parents' house. She wore a white shirt, with black pants, and white pants. Nothing exaggerated, but elegant. I finished my coffee, said goodbye to my little girl and left the apartment. Walking towards the elevator, I put the house keys in my small bag and when I went to press the button, it happened that Jackson was also nearby and we pressed the button to go down at the same time, touching each other's fingers.I was so intent on putting my keys in my bag that I didn't even notice that he was also close to the elevator. We barely looked at each other and a silence appeared between the two of us, if I weren't in a hurry and if I didn't live on the twentieth floor, I would take the stairs. Because after what happened, I didn't have the face to look
Next morning Luke My head hurt, it felt like the ceiling was spinning and I saw everything in a blurred way, not being sure where I was. I sighed and ran my hand over my head as I lifted my torso, then I felt the silky fur on my face and when I opened my eyes I saw the huge irises of my little dog staring at me, checking to see if she was alive. I was startled and sighed. I must have been used to it by now, as she always did this, but it was difficult to be indifferent. “Finally woke up sleepy.. “ Thomas commented, standing next to the cupboard, taking out the mugs and putting them on the table. “How long have I been sleeping? “ I stretched feeling like my head was going to explode. My dog approached me and I petted her. Thomas sighed and looked at the clock. " It's 11 o'clock!" " What! “I almost jumped off the couch worried. “My God, I have to work! “Don't worry, I spoke to your boss, explained your condition, said that you had a huge migraine and I had to take you to the ho
I barely left the room and went to the living room, where Thomas was, who had already made breakfast, bacon and fried eggs. We sat at the living room table next to each other.“Are you sure you're not going to tell the bride what an idiot her fiancé is? “ Thomas asked.“I'm not going, no one told me.”Thomas laughed loudly.“It's not my place to say that, it wouldn't be ethical and I'd rather earn the money in the account! Soon after their wedding, I will be free “I explained decisively and trying not to see it as a problem.“Looking back, there’s a point. I just don’t want you to get hurt.”I took a deep breath, thinking about what she told me about the state Jackson found me in.“Just out of curiosity, I was so bad when Jackson was here?“ I asked hoping to hear something different.Thomas just nodded confirming how devastated I was. I sighed, runni
LukeDoing another round of the race, I saw one of my neighbors walking and because we weren't that close, he didn't see me. Patrick! Nothing against him, but there was something strange about him that I couldn't describe, something that perhaps many didn't see. Although he had a calm demeanor, he didn't appear violent, his look was sinister, which made me feel a sense of agony, but perhaps I was wrong, as he was talking to a pre-adolescent boy, about 12 years old at the most. . He wasn't in any awkward situation, he looked like he wanted to buy one of the boy's cookies.I took a deep breath, filling my chest with air, wanting to be more resilient in the run and with each step I took I got closer to my neighbor. Running a few more meters, he looked at me, making it clear that he recognized me, but his smile disappeared. I raised my hand, wanting to be nice, but he quickly looked away, turning his back on me and started walking, moving away from the boy
LukeI stopped in front of a French-style cafe and parked the car. I've never been so nervous about having to deal with a client as I am now, so I couldn't wait for this wedding to take place so I wouldn't have to see them for a long time and if possible, never again. I got out of the car, walking straight into the cafeteria, arriving at the agreed location, I saw Anne sitting at one of the outdoor tables. She didn't even see me, because she was focused on talking on her cell phone. Looking at her, I took another deep breath and walked over to her, sitting at the table. We were facing another one.I showed Anne a smile and she just made a sign with her finger, asking me to give her a minute to continue talking on the phone. I just smiled and started looking around, appreciating the cafeteria, which was well attended and well decorated.“Luke... “Anne placed her cell phone on the table and looked at me smiling.“
