Just as I got out of the bathroom, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I thought it was my lover, the giver of the best orgasm of my life, but when I turned around, I found the angry face of my little brother a few inches from mine.
“Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you in this place? “
Jesus… What a greeting.
Six months without seeing each other and he was just as effusive.
“Well, hello to you too, Jonny.” I said sarcastically, which apparently made him realize his mistake and hugged me.
“Sorry.” he said resting his chin on my head. He had grown so much overnight “Elizabeth said you had been looking for service on that joke of phone you have all over the bar until you told her you were going to the bathroom.”
I adored my friend, but in those moments, I felt that I loved he
“Olivia!”“What?!”“Haveyou seen Faith?”“I told you towatch her, Richard Marcus Sanders!I'm changing Joy!”“Iwas busy!Okay?”“Yes!” She said knowing I wasn’t “Candy Crush surely occupiedallof your time!”I couldn't help the annoyed gesture my mouth made.I had a new addiction and it was this stupid game,and ofcourse, Olivia haddiscovered it,and now whenever I got distracted with it and lost any of the girls, or both, she always said the same thing:Drop the phone and find the girls!I went room by room, avoiding the twins’ because my wife was there, until a noise from ours caught my attention.I silently peeked out to see what I was encountering, but incredibly,there was no one.I turned
“I still don't understand the reason for your insistence to bring your assistant with me, Mark."“Because your assistant is sick and mine doesn't know Mexico, Kristos.That’s why”“You know I can defend myself alone in these matters, the only thing your assistant can do is delay Be productive's relations with that travel agency.”I looked at him annoyedfor afew seconds.My assistant might be the most complex woman in America, but she was also the most competent and professional at her job, and I let him know that.“She barely sees me and stutters!” Heexclaimed furiously, hitting the desk with the palms of his hands “Don't tell me you haven't noticed that...”“Maybe.” Iobserved interrupting him “You should know her a little more so you realize why she acts like this...”We stared at each other for a moment before my head of
“We are leaving the meeting, everything went perfect,do youwant to come with us to celebrate?” "Maybe next time, I'm a little busy""Are you still mad at me?""Enjoy"I couldn't help the grimace that formed on my face at his answer.Apparently, he was still upset with me, and with good reason.“Are we waiting for him or is he not coming?”I turned to see Eli,sitting on my right side.Wewere on our way to one of the most exclusive sushi restaurants in the city.We would celebratethatAdidasexecutiveshad loved the presentation.“Not coming.” I answered putting the phone in my bag.“Is he still upset with you?” Alex asked from the car’s front seat.“Not that I want totalk toyou.” Eli told Mark’
“And you’re feeling okay?”“Ialready told you I’m fine, Mark...”“I know yourolledyour eyes.” He stated annoyed “Don't do it, I just want to know how you are.”I covered the phone with my hand and that's when I was able to laugh the way I wanted.“My love.” I said trying to sound serious “I'm fine, the babies are fine, all we want is for you to come back soon.”“I don't like being away from you.” Hemurmured in a muffled voice.My heart clenched in my chest at the thought of him alone.“Hopefully you can return soon.” I said in the same tone of voice.On Monday while we were having breakfast, he had received a call.His cook, the one who a few months ago had attempted suicide by inhaling gas directly from the stove, had died with a respiratory arrest.
“Stop staring at him.” Olivia murmured hitting me on the shoulder.We were in Olivia's doctor/friend’s office.She was lying on thestretcherandwearing the respective blue gown that was often given to patients, and throwing me daggers with hereyesevery time Ilooked withhatredqt the doctorwhowalkedfrom one side to the other while giving some explanations through his phone.Maybe I wasn't being very subtle about the idea that another man was about to see her private parts.I took her hand and brought it to my mouth, kissing each of her fingersandstopping at the one wearing my plastic ring.One of these days it would be gold, or silver, as shewished, and it would mean only one thing:Marriage.“Mark, I'm talking to you.”I stared at my woman and realized that I had been daydreaming as she spoke.“Sorry,&nbs
“What?!” Iexclaimed astonished.I stared at Gabriel, my gynecologist since I had arrived from Spain afew years ago, in shock.“That you are pregnant, Olivia.” Heanswered pleased “Congratulations...”“It’s impossible I’mpregnant!” Iexpressed covering my face with my hands “You placed the IUD yourself. How could it be that I got pregnant with that on?”“All contraceptive methods have their risk percentage.” Heexplained “You were the 1% of this.”“You put a fuckingT-shaped device inmy vagina topreventmen's swimmers from entering my ovaries, Gabriel.” I looked at him feeling that panic took over my body “Then explain to me how just happened the opposite.”“Maybe you made a sudden movement that took it from place.” hesaid with a sh
