Dafne happily answered for me this time, I would like her to be always present. ___ "my friend is mute.__"change? The man made the same expression that everyone else did when they found out that the beautiful young woman was a dumb idiot, __" yes, amy is mute she communicates by signs ___ "ohhh... __" any problem for you? Daphne asks _"of course not, a defect like this in no way diminishes the beauty of this beautiful lady He said that Looking directly at me, I forced a smile. To break the tense atmosphere, the man next to me, Thales, ordered a drink for us, a fruit cocktail. ___ "did you like it? I nodded my head, the drink was delicious, I was sure that man would get bored of me in a few minutes, just like many others, it's not possible to have a conversation with a mute without knowing sign language, but I was surprised Thales was very funny and did everything to maintain a dialogue with me, in the The end was laughing like a hyena at a silly little joke he made. __ "You see Amy I can be good company .. He called me to go outside and get some air and I accepted regretting it seconds later because as soon as we were alone Thales proved to be a great cheap freeloader trying at all times to take a little cone from me, his hands on his waist slipping lower trying to I let go of him but he had a lot of strength he tried to kiss my lips but I dodged he grunted and he continued to invest so moved by fury I raised my knee hitting the man's testicles who fell moaning in pain. ___ "useless slut. I kicked him in the ribs and then went back inside the club and ended up bumping into a man who didn't even move it looked like a mountain block in my path would have fallen if he hadn't held me tight. ___"angel … I looked up, meeting a pair of deep, intense black eyes, the same eyes that had begged me for help months before. ___"no will run away this time angel He was calling me by my stage name he had probably been watching me dance at the club all this time __ "are you going to ignore me again? Does it hurt you to say a single word? I was desperate with that situation again under the power of a man I tried to pull my arms but that man held me tightly by his closed expression if I noticed that he was angry and that he would not let me go. ___ "are we going to say something the fuck? ___" She's a mute idiot... Never before had my friend's voice sounded as sweet as it did now, the man looking confused let go of my aching arm from his pressure ___ "changes? I had heard this question countless times before, including today. ___ "exactly . He sought my gaze and I held it, regretting it, his eyes were warm and hot like a volcano, extending his hand towards me, he said: ___" forgive my rudeness angel did not know of…… Dafne interrupted him at once. ___" It's Amy not angel.. __ "at the club they announced her as Angel.. Taken by impulse I moved my lips responding to him saying " stage name ", obviously no sound came out but he understood well because he smiled saying: ___ "Ah yes, I understand stage name, it suits you well. I smiled in surprise and he smiled, shrugging. ___" I am very good at lip language... I bit my lips, disconcerted by his bold response, the truth is that his presence disconcerted me greatly, he had an aura of seduction and magnetism. ___ I owe you two compensation for helping me a few days ago.. __ "you don't need Montenegro, isn't that your name? asks dafne ___ "exactly but you can call me Nicolas. He was talking to Dafne but he kept his eyes on me. ___" let me buy you guys a drink? Dafne looked at me questioningly and I quickly moved my hands, denying it, it wouldn't be a good idea to accept this man's invitation.I'm sorry Nicolas but we are not going to accept the invitation. ___ "I don't accept refusal I owe you both. I shook my head in vehement denial. __"Amy I don't bite please accept it.. I liked the fact that he didn't treat me like useless he spoke directly to me. I gestured with my hands what I wanted to say and Dafne was repeating to Nicolas ___" amy appreciates her invitation but will refuse, she also said that there is no debt between you that you can rest assured .. Having said that, I dragged Dafne to go home, but the man was not satisfied. ___" I'll take you... I sighed in resignation and soon we were led to a Ferrari daphne shouted excitedly. ___ "my god I'm going to ride a Ferrari, pinch me amy .. Nicolas smiled at the excitement of my friend who got into the ferrari in the back seat, I admit it It's a nice car, I would have enjoyed it better if I was in a good mood, I opened the back seat door to get in but that man said seriously. ___ "front seat amy.. Annoyed, I sat down in the designated spot and Nicolas put the seat belt on me. In this act, our arms brushed against each other and I had a shiver that the man noticed, letting out an amused laugh. ___ "what address? Dafne spoke and he put it in the GPS and then he stepped on the gas it was a very fast trip to that man he drove like crazy, as soon as he parked in front of my house I jumped out of his car crazy to be alone with my thoughts. ___ "thanks Nicolas..dafne says __" You're welcome . ___"want to go up? ___" I would love… I glared at my friend who just smiled at me and then there were the three of us going up the stairs. ___ "funny Nicolas you are going upstairs today because a month ago Amy and I took you upstairs in a wheelbarrow. __"I remember that well because of my desire to reward_her you two were incredible.. I rolled my eyes and hurried the steps past in front of the two.. ___" looks like his friend wasn't very happy with my presence... ___ "the problem is not you she is upset with life.. I lightly gestured a curse word at my gossip friend. __ "what did she say? asks Nicolas. ___" She told us both to go to hell ___" brave… I opened the door entering the house and going straight to my room, I could hear the two of them talking in the living room I envied Dafne so much I would give anything to be able to talk to have a normal life. I wiped a tear from my face the instant Dafne walked into the darkened room. ___" friend, nicolas wants to talk to you I turned away, completely ignoring her. ___ " let's go friend... I continued in the same position without moving a single muscle seeing that I wouldn't pay attention to her she left stomping and when finally alone I sighed deeply the tears running down my cheeks.Returning home was something strange because for me it was as if I had never been away, everything seemed so the same that I even doubted that 15 years had actually passed. However, I sadly noticed that not everything had survived my absence, many of my men of trust was no longer there, some had left, others had died, just like my mother.Marli Montenegro, the woman who raised me and educated me like a son, was no longer alive and this was one of the greatest pains I felt in my life, I wished I hadn't woken up from the coma.At this moment, sitting on my bed, leaning back against pillows, I observe the boy with dark blond hair and a physical build superior to someone his age. I have a hard time accepting that he is my son, that this teenager with the petulant look is the little package, still covered in blood, that For a few moments I held him in my arms.____ richard, my son....I say to myself____ the legitimate Montenegro....he completesI smiled at the petulant tone in which he s
In the end Richard didn't accompany me to the hospital, alone I walked through the cold corridors of the hospital like a specter, arriving at Nicolas's room I went in and leaned against the door and approaching the bed I stared for several minutes at the pale face of my beloved looking for something to prove that I was right that he was in fact still alive, I carefully adjusted myself in the little space on the bed placing my head on his chest and without me being able to control the tears they began to flow without stoppingAt this moment I felt unable to do anything other than cry.___ I tried my love to be strong all this time but now it's no longer possible, I no longer have the strength to fight, I feel like I'm going to die from so much sadness..The tears like waterfalls continued to fall and fall progressively, just as the sobs one by one jumped from my chest as if they were tearing my soul.I raised my head, looking at him - I held his cold face between my hands, saying firmly
For a brief moment I really believed that Nicolas was awake and that everything would go back to the way it was before, but this obviously didn't happen, he continued to sleep like an angel, I even considered the idea that I had fantasized about that grip on his hand.Unhappy, I took my son in my arms, called a taxi and went home, Chloe and Aníbal's happy laughs greeted me, making my mood even more sour.____amy, come watch with us.. chloe says___ I'm not in the mood____It's a very funny comedy, we're laughing our heads off, you'll like it.____ comedy is enough for my lifeI quickly walked up the stairs with Richard following me and as soon as we walked through the door to my room he asked:.___why are you so sad mom?___ It's nothing son, now go watch television with your uncles...___can I really mom?___ Yes sonHe ran out of the room and I allowed myself to collapse, covering my face with my hands and sobbing convulsively, it seemed impossible to continue at that moment.___may
It was another ordinary and boring day, the sky was clear and the temperature was mild, perfect for a day at the beach. I observe with disinterest the euphoria of Chloe as she places an umbrella, reclining chairs, a Styrofoam box containing food and other junk in the trunk of the car.____ hurry up, Amy, or we'll be very late at the beach...I rolled my eyes at my sister-in-law and getting up from the step where she was sitting, I picked up my belongings and put them in the trunk.The short trip to Praia was filled with the happy and cheerful laughter of the children, as soon as we parked a meter away from the beach they were the first to get out and run happily on the white sand.___do not enter the water richard. I screamed...He turned to me with a smile from ear to ear and at that moment my heart missed a beat and a tear ran down my cheek, it was as if I was seeing Nicolas in front of me, the smile was exactly the same. I noticed that Chloe and Aníbal were watching me, lately they
A week after my terrible discovery, I was discharged and without telling anyone in the family, I left the hospital alone with my son in my arms, oblivious to everything, I walked down the street like a specter and more than once a car slammed on the brakes so as not to run me over and more than once a driver screamed profanity , it felt like my soul had been ripped from my body , when i walked through the gate of the mansion Montenegro chloe ran towards me exasperated___Why didn't you tell me that you would be discharged today, Aníbal or I would have gone to get you.___I didn't want to bother either of you, the days you stayed with me are enough.Chloe looked down at little Richard that I held like a bag of sugar, she took him from my arms and asked next.___where is the taxi you came from?___ I came on foot...___my god Amy are you crazy? I didn't understand that you can't make that much effortI went into the house looking at everything strangely because here it didn't seem like
When I opened my eyes the first thing I saw was the dull, white wall, I tried to get up but feeling dizzy I soon went back to bed and when I looked around the room I realized that it was a hospital room, I automatically put my hand on my stomach stoned.___my son....At this chloe came through the bedroom door with a pitcher of water that she placed on the nightstand next to the bed___Your son is fine, he's a huge boy,..A smile played on my lips, knowing that my baby was fine made me feel at ease..___Do you want water Amy?I shook my head, my throat and lips felt dry, Chloe filled a glass and handed it to me, I turned around asking for more, satisfied I lay back down, everything seemed to go round and round.A flashback crossed my mind and I saw myself in that forest alone screaming while expelling my little Richard from my body, hearing the voice of my beloved Nicolas again.___Nicolas....Chloe looked at me for a long time and in that time I could see a lot of pain in that look..
