- Crossed a line? Yes, Travis, you have. Somewhere between sticking your tongue in my mouth and assuming I want to sleep with you ... yes, you've crossed a line!
- You are the one who is thinking that I have other intentions with you in bed.
- Are you high?
- Okay, first I'm drunk and now I'm high?
- What do you expect me to think? You never took me that much into account and you're acting too weird even for you Travis.
- I told you what was happening, I like you too much, I want to spend time with you. What else do you want?
- I don't know, maybe more than one explanation, like why now and so suddenly? And why do you keep moving forward with this?
- Let's call it a New Years resolution and it's not suddenly Jane, I liked you for a long time. Why am I moving forward with this? Because I don't want to and can't send you wrong signals as I did in the past, but it seems like you ...
- I'm not stupid Travis.
- I didn't say you were.
- I'm surprised you're doing all this! After your almost ignoring my behavior, how do you want me to feel when you do things this way from one day to the next!
- Trust me, Jane, with all the demons I had to go through just to find out my feelings for you, this is not all out of nowhere or acting on impulse.
- And what makes you so sure now?
- I am not presumptuous, I am 33 years old and I am not getting any younger, I am just trying to move things forward for once in my life.
- Kissing me out of nowhere?
- I'm trying to simplify things because they will be more complicated from now on, obviously you still don't know how you feel about me and I'm still working out my intense feelings about you, and to begin with, I don't even want to think about how others feel about everything. This, so I imagine that where I can facilitate things I will do it and the easiest thing at this moment ironically is to show you what I feel for you, what you have not yet realized is that I love you and not only as a friend or partner of equipment but as something else, you can take as long as you need to find out your feelings Jane, but for now allow me to let me show you mine. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain so ... what are you waiting for?
Across the street, Maria and Rose are not even trying to hide the fact that they have come to a complete stop in front of my house and have been listening to everything from the beginning and are still waiting for more.
What am I waiting for? A childhood sweetheart who made it clear that she doesn't want to go home? A friend who has found love where you always love him since you met him? Crazy dressed in green leggings?
Eww no ...
- Give me 15 minutes to change.
And there is that look full of emotion and a silly smile that is marked on his face ... I am a lucky winner to have that man in front of me.
XXX
I keep looking at Travis out of the corner of my eye, he still worries me that he's pouncing on me but he's behaving well so far, we've almost reached our destination and he hasn't even rebelled anything else towards me. It would be like old times if it weren't for our conversation just a short time ago.
- You are old enough to be my father- I say half-jokingly half-serious.
- If that were true, I would have had you at 14 and that is too young to be a father, but I am more of an older brother than a father if you insist on comparing our relationship with incest.
- I'm just saying that you are almost twice my age, don't you think I'm too young for you?
- What I'm thinking is that you are in your 20s and I am in my 30s and I have seen cases that are much worse of men who are 90 years old and marry those in their 30s who are for the money, so go out with you it's not that wicked.
- Right, if age doesn't bother you then what about it being your student? I mean it's like ... Wilson chasing Maria.
- EW! - This time Travis's face is horrified.
- Exactly.
- Yes but Jane ... Wilson going after someone is very EW!
- Well that's true, but you and he are not very different.
- How can you say that? I'm nothing like Wilson!
- They are both the same age, they were teachers at the academy and they are weird.
- I'm not weird!
- You read porn in public and never show so many emotions together.
- Okay but those are types of endearing strangers.
- Perhaps it is endearing to you, I don't know what the mother thinks who had to try to answer her son when I asked her what you were reading in the market.
- She said that she was reading a fantasy story which is true considering that more than half of what is there consists of the fantasies of the most heterosexual men ...
- Stop talking now Travis.
- What I mean is that there is no harm, in no way am I like Wilson, he is creepy and I am gen-sexy.
- Gen-sexy? Is that a word?
- Yes it is my image is right next to the definition.
I raise an eyebrow at him.
- Come on Jane, how can you resist the sexy gen? - he says smiling.
- Get away from her pervert! - Diego yelled, hitting him hard against the ground.
- I don't care if you used to be our teacher or captain! Nobody takes advantage of Jane like that!
- Diego, she wasn't ... Ow!
- Don't worry, I'll take care of him for ... AUCH! What's wrong Jane?
- We're on a date! - I yelled angrily while I kept hitting him.
- They're in a what? - He babbles when Luisa who saw everything runs to console him.
I feel a slight hint of guilt but I've gotten so used to knocking out Diego every time he says or does something stupid that it has become second nature. Plus he could have sworn he heard Luisa yell at him to stop too.
- But how can you be on a date with him? He was telling you "sex with me" over and over again!
- Diego ... I wasn't saying that to Jane, the word was gen-sexy- he tries to explain while I rush towards him to heal his wounds.
- Gen-sexy? What the hell is that? It is a word? - he screams hysterically.
- It's genius and sexy together but with fangirls, it means ... ash doesn't matter- Travis's head falls back onto my lap as he grabs it with both hands as if he had the most monstrous headache, slowly and carefully I begin to heal it...
- Jane? - Diego asks.
I can't see him since my back is to him, but I can feel his fiery gaze from him at the back of my head.
- We're on a date- I repeated, tenderly pushing Travis's bangs away from his face, as he slowly sits down, we exchange smiles, the grateful one and mine for his recovery.
- But he's old ...- Shut up Diego, he's not even old enough to be my father- I say as I help him get up.- He is our teacher ...- He hasn't been for a long time and that's why I trust him too and want to give him a chance- I take Travis's arm and wrap him around my shoulder so he leans against me as we head back to Ichiraku.- Jane ...- Diego - this time it is Luisa's soft voice that stops him.I turned my head back fast enough to see Diego still looking at me puzzled with Luisa lightly touching her arm looking at him pleadingly. I gave him one last smile, tightened my hug around Travis's waist, and didn't look back.XXXI look at Alia, this is the third time she's come up to Travis and asks if she needs anything but I know exactly what that little sentence means, that waitress is way too attentive to him.Ok ... she breathes and she counts to 10 .
- Why do all the tall people always sit in front of me? They have all those empty seats and where do you sit? Right in front of me- Rose snorts, crossing her arms in front of her chest in irritation. - I'm sorry Rose I didn't see you there, I'll change with Jane if you want. - Captain? - Rose exclaims, matching her voice with the silhouette of her in front of her. - Hello! - he answers with a happy crease of eyes. - Are you on a date? - Rose says smiling from ear to ear with her eyes shining towards us. - Yes, we are- I say with a slight edge in my voice, daring Rose to say something bad about it, but to my surprise, she answers very enthusiastically. - Ha! I knew it! After what happened last night and that private chat between the two of you this morning I imagined it. Good for you! At that moment I remember because she is my best friend, I return her smile and change my seat with Travis, he and I have just sat down again when
- Uhg well ... good luck to you- he says placing a hand on Travis's shoulder making a quick outing with his girlfriend.- You didn't mean to say that, did you? - He asks, rubbing the back of his neck with discomfort.- And why wouldn't I? Just because we are on a date and especially because we are together I hope you treat me like a lady, I have let you slip a lot of things for now, but if you do something that I do not want ...- Jeez Jane! You could shame the scared face Luis is wearing!- Well, I learned a few things from him while you were trapped in the hospital.- Like what? - His voice suddenly darkens.- That? Is the great Captain Travis jealous?- How did you learn Jane?- he repeats without stopping looking at me very seriously.- The scared face? - I respond weakly.- I hope it's just that- he murmurs before placing his hand possessively around my waist and pulling me closer to him.- Well ... How is it
- I just want you to get closer to where you can stay foreverI'm vaguely aware that we move to the music, our feet don't move, but I'm distracted by other things like the way he's looking at me now."You can be sure it will only get better"It's the same way I was looking at the entire village ..."You and me together through the days and nights"As if I had never seen anything more beautiful ..."I don't worry because everything will be fine"As if I am something so valuable, you will never take me for granted."People keep talking, they can say what they want"This is all new to me, I've been taken for granted before ..."But all I know is that everything is going to be fine."And he was heartbroken ...
As an agent, you are taught to be aware. Take care of your surroundings, be aware of the people around you, and any suspicious behavior. Being careful could save your life, but what if it's not a life or death situation? What if you become fully aware of someone you have never seen otherwise before? What does it mean then?"Jane are you listening to me?""Sorry boss""You seem distracted, why do you keep looking at the door?"Now I feel not only Blanca's eyes on me but also Diego and Luis's eyes."I was wondering if Captain Travis would join us for this mission," I said trying to sound as unpleasant as possible, but my face felt hot first from being caught staring at the door and now from what I said."If he will be, he's late as usual," Blanca says with a look of exasperation in her eyes."Ray!" I said without thinkingBlanca quickly raises an eyebrow at me just like Diego and Luis, she shit her ... If even Diego of all people
The four of us made our way through the busy streets towards the main gates of the village. Diego always showing his enthusiasm walks several steps ahead of us. Travis and I took a more leisurely pace enjoying the sky and fresh January air.Nothing beats the thrill of going on an adventure, you can love your home and consider it the place you will always want to be, miss it and long for it once you are gone, but there is something about going on an adventure that makes the adrenaline rush through your veins, cheering you up and making you feel euphoric and alive, that's why I understand Diego's feeling so I decide to enjoy the emotion a little more.Don't get me wrong, I love my job at the hospital as a doctor, but nothing is better than the job I was born for and raised for which is being an agent, going on missions, and traveling around the world. be eliminated on the battlefield or the road ... but you can't have it all right?During all the activities going
For 23 years that I have lived in the country, I had not laid eyes on the famous governor's house except in textbooks and postcards, the irony is that it was easily within my reach, it was just another of those things that I took for granted because I knew it would always be there."Wow" Diego and I say with amazement.Travis and Luis just smile in a pleasant silence indicating that at least they have been here before. They let us gape for a couple more minutes before they ushered us forward once more.At the gates of the palace because a normal house is not, the guards greet us, somehow they seem much more imposing than us, and yet we are the elite agents of the country. Maybe it's the 10-foot stick they hold in their hands that seems ready to rip our heads off or maybe it's their helmet that reminds me of a cobra when its neck opens to bite or all those pads that they wear, their clothes remind me of football players ready to hit the ground, they look ready to
Somehow exploring the world and experiencing new things seems more special when you finally have someone to share it with.When Albert left and then Diego, I had to learn to be self-sufficient, being in Blanca's tutelage only reinforced that need. She after all has to do with female power and that implies being able to take care of herself so I have no qualms about doing things on my own. I live alone, I earn my own money, I go where I please and I don't need anyone but myself, and yet with all my independence I can't help but link my arm through Travis's now and lean my head against his shoulder and feel grateful for their company as we lazily walk through the castle grounds.As you can see, there is something more powerful than independence and it is called love. It's not just about the sky looking bluer, the grass looking greener, and the bird songs sounding sweeter than ever. Finally, being with someone you know that you are destined to make you forget what lonelin
