Chapter 4

Months later

Leonardo Alvarez

It's been some time since I've been talking to Camila, and at this moment I didn't know how to describe our relationship, I mean, we've never met, although it's weeks away, weeks? For us to meet for the first time at the university, and the truth is that I had no intention of sharing the details of that meeting with my friends.

I don't know what was going on with me, I couldn't go to bed with another woman because she is constantly sneaking into my thoughts, I don't know if it's because we talk almost all day long, from dawn until late at night and I don't know if it's really good, but I like doing it, she always finds a different way to make me laugh, she's a unique girl.

“Leonardo. “I heard my father's authoritative voice, who knows what he wants now, surely my brother refused to help him, and I wish I could do the same, but I didn't have the strength to do it.

“Father. “I answered, approaching his office, where he was. He looked at me with a smile on his face, I didn't know what that gesture meant, but I answered him in the same way. “Did you need me? “I asked while I checked the phone, it had vibrated and I hoped it was Camila.

“Are you busy with something? “he asked, I looked at him and put the phone away. “I think you are hiding something, Leonardo. “He mentioned again. He raised an eyebrow, but I hesitated to tell him about Camila, I think it was a bit hasty to mention her, after all we don't know each other, and I'm sure he will want to know everything about her, her family, her studies, her account status, everything that matters to him.

“I was just keeping an eye on one of the university projects. “I answered doubtful of my answer, he looked at me hesitating a little, but then he smiled, I think he had fallen for my answer.

“Your brother is insolent, can you believe he told me he won't work in my companies? He got tired of my bad treatment! As if I were to blame for him not giving his all. “he mentioned. I knew that everything my brother said was true, our father was a strict man and most of the time impotent, everything seems wrong to him if it is not done as he asks.

“What will you do? “I asked. I didn't know what else I could say or do.

“Let him find his own way, you'll see he won't make it and he'll come back crying to me to admit it again, for now, only you will be in charge of working in my companies once I die. “He mentioned as if there was little time left for that. “Now, I want to know if you have already thought about what I told you last time. “he added.

What did he tell me last time? Well, he thinks I need a "good woman" by my side, I know, it doesn't go with my lifestyle, but that would offer me more character and in the long run I would end up getting used to her and falling in love with her, as he said, but I wasn't sure if that would be so.

“Yes I have thought about it, but I am still young to commit to that, I will try, but no promises. “I replied.

“All right, I'll introduce you to a girl, she's the daughter of one of my partners, I hope you'll get along well. “I didn't understand why he liked to keep control of everything.

“If it's about Ana, you'll waste your time, she doesn't even want to see me in pictures. “I mentioned smiling, I didn't want to be forced to this, besides, if I was thinking about having a relationship with someone it was with Camila, even if it was a simple agreement between both of us, but my father would surely never allow it, since she was a girl of a lower social class than ours.

“I'll think of something. “He mentioned smiling, he knew very well his reach and I was sure that very soon Ana would be here in the house ready to try something with me again.

I left the room and headed to my room, I wanted to lock myself in and talk to Camila, I was sure she would have some words of encouragement for me, as she always did. I responded to the message I had left a few minutes ago.

Message Camila: "Hi, how did you wake up?". She wrote, I smiled and remembered the night before, for the first time, although I no longer kept my hopes on it, we made a video call in which we kept talking for a long time, I heard murmurs of some people and then her cheeks reddened, she was wearing a t”shirt that showed a part of her breasts, detail every centimeter that she let me appreciate.

Message Leonardo: "Hello, good and you, how did you wake up?". I asked smiling at the screen, I even dreamed of that moment, touching that skin that seemed so soft, I would definitely have stayed dreaming about it.

Message Camila: "Fine too, thank you." She mentioned.

Message Camila: "Do you have to go to college?" She asked again, unfortunately I had to, I had some exams left pending, so it would be much better if I finished with it at once.

Message Leonardo: "Yes, I will finish some projects I have pending and go back to the house. Don't worry, I'll keep talking to you and I'll let you know how I'm doing". I answered, I knew she might feel sad about it, but that's the way it is. I wondered, what did she do to have me like this? I had never cared so much about someone before, could it be because she had suffered so much during her life? I had no idea, but it scared me.

Camila's message: "Well, take care". she mentioned attaching a smiley face.

Message Camila: "Let me know if I interrupt at any time. she added.

Message Leonardo: "You will never be a problem for me, but I will let you know anything". I mentioned.

Message Leonardo: "Remember one thing, will you? I added.

Message Camila: "What thing?". she asked.

Message Leonardo: "You are beautiful, too beautiful". I answered attaching a little face in love and a couple of hearts. I had never done this kind of thing before and now I was doing it, I was feeling a little cheesy, if you could describe it that way.

Camila's message: "Stop it! You'll make me believe it." she mentioned. I couldn't believe she was actually saying that to me, it was like she was doubting herself and that obviously I wasn't going to allow it, because to me, she really was beautiful.

Leonardo message: "I'm just saying what my eyes see, you are unique". I wrote smiling at the screen like in the beginning. I couldn't even control what she provoked in me, being alone there would be no problem, but if someone found out about this it would be the end of me, my ruin in front of my friends.

Message Camila: "You are a liar". she mentioned, I left the conversation until there, because Esteban arrived looking for me, I guess he would take the opportunity to talk about how well he has done in college, he does anything to get on my father's radar, although the latter, many times has ignored him.

“Esteban, as I imagined, was already in conversation with my father, I just hope he doesn't think of talking about his many conquests, let alone mine.

“My friend! “he said, raising his voice, he had never called me like that before, I guessed he had something in his hands. “Are we leaving already? “I nodded and then we left the house together, I checked my phone. “Who are you talking to? “Esteban asked, I couldn't answer that message from Camila.

“Nobody, why do you ask? “I asked leaving my phone in my pocket, you will have to wait for me Camila, I thought.

“You were smiling while you were looking at your cell phone, besides, lately you're only looking at that device. “My friend answered smiling. “I wonder if things are going better than you thought with that conquest of yours. “He mentioned in a libidinous tone that didn't sit well with me at all.
