When Alisha awoke the next day Gael was gone.
The house felt extremely lonely.
There was not a sound to be heard.
The windows were locked, the curtains closed, giving the impression of a gloomy, gigantic house. The opposite side of the bed lay so neatly arranged, it seemed that no one had slept there, on the bedside table there was still that stupid picture of Gael with that woman.
Alisha was curious about the young businessman's past, she got out of bed, walking barefoot. She felt the coldness of the wood running through the soles of her feet.
As if her limbs were on automatic she went to the closet, the huge closet was made of wood, she grabbed the door and slid it open.
There were many outfits, stored on hangers, at the bottom were several cardboard boxes.
Alisha bent down and opened one at a time, rummaging for something relevant.
She was startled.
She found a glass box containing a baseball and remembered that she and Gael had met because of the baseball.
She held that box in her hands as she got up from the floor, it was impossible for her to still hold that memory. So many years had passed. Gael must still remember her.
At that moment, Gael suddenly appeared.
The door was slammed open.
Alisha was startled and the glass box she was holding fell to the floor and shattered.
Gael picked up the baseball.
"You're only staying at my house temporarily, don't consider this place your home" he warned her.
Seeing Gael's nervous look.
Alisha guessed that the baseball was something to do with the woman in the photograph in the room. She had always thought that all the things for the women in the house were bought at will by Gael, but now, she knew that they were specially prepared by him for that woman in the picture in his room.
The one he seemed to contemplate with a divine devotion.
She was only a temporary guest, and that beautiful, exquisite woman, who did not live there was the real hostess of the house.
"I can make up for the broken glass box," she said carefully to Gael.
He let out a derisive laugh.
"Even your family is supported by me, how could you ever repay it?"
Gael mercilessly shoved Alisha, causing the alien body to be returned to the floor. Gael didn't notice that when she fell, she landed on the broken glass.
Alisha looked at the broken glass box on the floor and understood that this person was the "baseball" that Gael valued, but she was the broken "glass box" that he would no longer look at even if it was broken.
The shards of glass dug into her legs. Those tiny shorts she wore as pajamas didn't help to avoid the wounds on her skin.
She wanted to get up but a pain shot through her body, immediately reflecting on her face.
"Can't you get up?"
"Fuck you" a tear rolled down her cheek, she pressed her lips together feeling the pain gnawing at her system. She pushed herself up and stood up.
Gael was startled to notice that crimson liquid running down his wife's legs.
"What the hell is that?" his eyes gradually widened.
"I just happened to fall in glass" he expressed sarcastically.
The cuts on her skin were not that deep, she went to the bathroom and grabbed the first aid kit to clean her wounds, she sat on the edge of the bed cleaning the blood and then would place band aids on the wounds.
"Yo!"
"Get out!"
"Me!"
Alisha sighed.
"I'd better get the hell out of here, when you still can" she watched that older man. His face was very sinister. Gael swallowed saliva, those wounds had been his fault.
"I'm sorry..."
Alisha threw against the businessman a bottle of alcohol she was holding.
"Your apologies aren't going to cure me" she spat.
Gael left the room.
It was true, she felt so suffocated at that submissive attitude she could show. Gael must have waited a long time to meet that person. She knew she would never get his attention.
As she wiped one hand she took her own.
"I'll do it."
Gael had returned.
She didn't even hear the door open or walk toward it, only barely noticed a hand taking her own, for her eyes were clouded by a curtain of liquid. Droplets were falling on her thighs.
"No" she didn't even recognize his voice.
One after another the tears were falling on her thighs.
She didn't even know at what point she started sobbing, she could only feel that hand wrapping around her own, that quality feeling that hugged her chest.
"Stop crying, you look disgusting."
"You're disgusting."
She blinked causing two large drops to descend down her cheeks, meeting those beautiful gray eyes, then, she observed that multicolored color that adorned near the iris.
Her face that was usually expressionless.
It softened.
A hand caressed her cheek.
"We're from disgust."
Gael smiled, a sincere smile that infected her.
"You can stay."
"Am I not here" he wiped away her tears. "He's coming to help you."
Because he didn't know he was asking her to stay with her, not with this woman who seemed to rule his world. He wanted the right to be selfish.
She felt.
She knew that asking him that was a stupidity of the moment, that man she has loved for over ten years, he used to be a little slow to understand.
"I know."
Gael instinctively reached over and chastely kissed her lips.
He didn't know why he did it, he only understood that his heart stopped for a second, his tears once again furrowed his cheeks for the last time and a warmth came over his face.
"Stop crying you look..."
Alisha didn't hear what he was saying to her, she barely managed to keep watching those lips moving and articulating who knows what words.
She felt her heart racing.
And her senses almost completely disconnected, she let out a nervous laugh.
Gael was her first love, the one she didn't want to give up.
That night I entered that house, it was not by chance, although everyone thought so.If I had imagined that this event would lead us to a grandfather imposing his opposition to obtain greater profits in agreements that did not concern me, but would be the main strategy, I would have given up saving him.That night without hesitation I would have let him die.I would have passed him by.I should never have saved him.I was dressed in my jeans, military style boots, a black shirt and my leather jacket.I walked with my hands in my pockets as I circulated around the area in the company of a ballasted group, I prowled around like a wild beast in search of its prey, every night I saw elegant cars leaving that mansion, that memory is the sharpest thing I possess, I still regret it, that night I should have ignored the bullshit my group threw out."That loud voice of Daniel's warned me that my lack of courage would be uploaded to the networks and mocked for the rest of my days. "See, she's j
I stretched out my arm wanting to reach for my jacket.I barely managed to brush it with my fingertips. That man had to be an asshole, I couldn't hire a security system to protect him.He would be so cheap.There was no security, there was no one, he was stranded almost in the middle of nowhere. If it wasn't for the fact that there was a road in front of the residence, the same one that was facing the sea, when driving along the road you could notice that small garden behind the metal bars."Come on wake up" I begged knowing that I was unconscious, I must be so unlucky. "Don't die" I pleaded so pitifully. "Don't die, don't do it"The ambulance arrived within minutes.When the paramedics arrived, I could barely manage to know that it had been minutes and not hours, I had felt an eternity with every second that passed. That wounded man could die and my fingerprints were in his hair, because it was impossible not to stroke his hair in search of making him wake up."Quickly" the squad lea
Gael disappeared for long hours.He was amazing at leaving, leaving no footprints or traces, in that huge house while he was walking, the only thing that reached my ears were my own footsteps echoing.I went down to the kitchen.I turned on the stove frying some eggs, heated the coffee in the pot and some toast would be the little that would carry my stomach for the rest of the day.I didn't have a person in charge of the pantry.In that huge house there were only luxuries, and food, frustrated at the misfortunes that were beginning to surround me. I ended up carrying the food to the dining room."The gravy" I mumbled, jumping up from my chair. However, as I jumped out of my seat I ended up hitting the wood causing the impact to roll the vase of the vase that was almost in the center and it fell to the floor shattering completely.When I took a step I slipped."Fuck" I cried out gasping. A glass had stuck the sole of my foot.Clumsily I had fallen forward cushioning the blow against
"Whatever" Gael turned completely ignoring that blank stare of his wife's, he walked into the house.Although he liked his oceanfront residence, he didn't want to be the talk of the people who used to drive by in cars circling the area, on 63rd Avenue in the city, ideally he wanted to go where his temple didn't feel like it was exploding.Walsh watched the man walk away.She clenched her fists, really, he turned into a stiff shit or idiot. That man couldn't be Gael, that nice guy. That same one who a few hours ago helped her, what was going on with him.Much to his chagrin he led him in."Hey!" the door hit him squarely on the nose, that businessman had no manners or he really was tired with just a few days living under the same roof and breathing the same air, he must be a joke. Or maybe that's his real personality?. "Williams!" she slammed her fist on the wood.There was no response."Gael Williams, you'd better open the door!""Or else what?" The door was opened, revealing young W
They were together on such a tortuous path.Gael is so attractive that he doesn't need to fake a freezing wall so that looks have to fall on him, that is to say, it is enough to observe his hypnotic blue eyes.He has curly dark brown hair, broad shoulders, long legs defined like those of an athlete, fascinating features and a body sculpted by the gods themselves.Walsh felt he could watch him forever and not tire of it, love him, have loved him for ten years."I can sleep in the guest room" Alisha proposed, watching him return with a glass of juice in his hand."No!"Gael refused."It's too late for you to pretend not to know the terms of the contract." his sneer was palpable in every word. "You're a fool" he ridiculed her.Alisha was forced to sign the contract by her family, so she had no chance to see its contents and didn't understand what it had to do with her move to the guest room."Why?" she inquired.She understood absolutely nothing.She wish she knew his intriguing answer,
At that moment I thought that if he was playing games, although deep down it seemed that he really knew how to do it, he would have so much free time to know how to cook a simple dish. It was a bit illogical, that man knew more about business and office than about frying pans and cacera food."See it's not that hard." Gael grabbed some silverware grabbing a bite straight from the pot, a smile graced my lips seeing him so relaxed, was he perhaps removing his barriers."Does it taste good?" I asked hesitantly, I wanted to know if I had achieved a dish to his expectations. "It's really good."Gael put a hand to his chest.An anxiety grew in me as I noticed that discomfort.I saw him gagging as he struggled to get air into his lungs, he looked suffocated, at that instant my senses were activated to the maximum, I quickly wanted to go around the island wanting to help him I ended up tripping and falling to the floor.When I got up I saw him laughing."Not funny" I snorted, getting up comp
When the wood was fully opened, those behind the door came out to greet us, surprising us in an unforeseen quasi-argument that fizzled out at the root.Taking my gaze beyond the couple.I discovered that this celebration seemed so enjoyable.The sound of classical music filtered through the ears, giving a pleasant sensation, I could feel even standing at the entrance how good the atmosphere seemed."Welcome" when I heard that melodic voice, I looked away from the couple that was welcoming us. "Come in" the door opened giving more access.I didn't know how this family's system worked.I was surprised that this beautiful woman was attending us, it was as if she was waiting for our arrival.However, the young businessman Williams did not wait, he simply passed them by, taking me with him, almost dragging me into the mansion, for that grip on my hand did not soften, on the contrary, it intensified a little as he pulled me in the direction of the living room.We stopped together at a pilla
"Following my wife" he obeyed, leading me towards some guests, in that family everyone had an important position."Oh, they are sweet this couple" a lady who was Gael's relative approached taking my hand. "Come, you must be tired."The lady tried to lead me towards a seat but was stopped by Gael who refused to move away, her gaze didn't change one bit to a warmer one. It was still a cold one that could corner me to death.He tightened his grip clinging tighter against me."You need a glass of water, I'll get it for you" another gentleman hurried to fetch the aforementioned.At the banquet everyone was worried about Alisha, and Alisha felt strange.Gael took me to sit next to him, that long dining room could hold at least thirty people, only the Williams family was gathered with their extremely close guests.The tables were of a fine dug out, the tablecloths looked to be of the finest fabric, everything was perfectly ordered even the position of each person was strategically implanted,
