DAVID The truth can be distorted in many ways, now, for example, the girl who says she's sober walks across the room as if she's familiar with my world, when in fact she's just being driven by the alcohol in her system. She acts as if she hasn't just woken up from a dramatic blackout. And as much as she tries to hide it, I know that Nelly would never feel comfortable with me sober, let alone in a room made exclusively for adult practices. She stumbles over the carpet and falls onto the bed, laughing loudly as she tries to get up and can't. "Let me help. "I kneel in front of her and pick up her left foot, lowered the flash of her boot and take off her shoe. I do the same with my right and then stand up. When my eyes meet his, it's as if the building is on fire. There's heat and fear, desire and submission. All in a split second. She makes me very stressed. "Don't look at me like that." she whispers, lowering her gaze. I growl. "You're so submissive." "I'm not! I like to dominate
DAVID Guilt became my judge and I was sentenced this morning, when I woke up with my body aching, compressed on the small sofa I keep in my room. I was found guilty because I couldn't send her away after getting my laundry soiled with her vomit, I was convicted when I took care of her and pleaded with her to sleep instead of putting her in a taxi home. I'm guilty, because I want a woman who isn't mine and for the first time since Lídia's death I want someone's company, no, I don't, I need to be in her presence like crazy. Last night after it became clear that she ingested more alcohol than she confessed to me, I called one of the girls who work at the club and asked her to help Nelly, the girl bathed her and helped her with the extra clothes I provided from my stash. A blouse with no design or pattern, as pale as her unconscious face. She fell asleep after eating some of the food I ordered, muttering disconnected words that no matter how hard I tried all night to understand them, I c
DAVID "Sorry. I'll speak at once, to avoid any misunderstandings. " She says, blushing in a way that messes with my head. I nodded positively, intrigued. "Go on," I say. "I'm curious." She bites her lower lip in apparent nervousness. "How does the use of the whip work?" I start coughing. "Just curious?" My tone is a thin layer of surprise and excitement. " Fetish." She clarifies, and my body comes alive. The memory that she's wearing a sweater comes, and I control myself not to throw her on the bed and discover all her curiosities. What am I thinking? Don't go there... "Curiosity for a whip, duly noted." I start walking again, restless. Did she need to come back to this? I pick up my cell phone from the bedside table, intending to call the nightclub reception and ask where our clothes are before I do something stupid. "Why are you leaving?" He asks and I stop my steps. My tongue itches to give her an answer that will make her blush from head to toe, but I manage to kee
NELLY "He is as broken as I am.” That was the first thought that came to mind when I got home. After a week of peaceful and even intimate coexistence with David Bragança, I stopped running away and gave in to his presence. He needs a friend a lot more than I do, although he doesn't see it that way. Luckily, my mother is traveling with two friends, and I was able to breathe easier and without guilt. We saw each other almost every day and had lunch together as much as possible, I gave myself a slight break from the regime and tried all the delicacies he presented to me, each dish was like falling from a parachute into paradise lost, and I visited the bathroom in the parking lot a little these days, in fact, I avoided any bathroom after every meal. Bathrooms and mirrors. David introduced me to another side of him, I can say that I met the man and not my former teacher or boss. He says we're friends, but I'm not sure if we can forget all the past and start over. We've kissed before, my
NELLY "I think you should take the pictures. " David counter argues and leaving him talking to himself, tired of never being heard or understood. However, I stop midway when I hear Carlota laugh. Guided by a sudden desire for revenge, I turn around and stop right in front of her and Carlos, I end up accepting the proposal to land without thinking too much, the man smiles from ear to ear and shows me the place where I can change my look and preparing for the session, it doesn't take long for a makeup team to swarm around me, it takes less than twenty minutes to get me ready. There is no surprise when I have to choose between bikini pieces, since Bragança is betting on a line of beauty products that protect the skin from the sun's rays, but I really wasn't rational when I accepted the proposal. Bikinis and me. Me and bikinis. It's not gonna happen. I can't even remember the last time I put on a bathing suit and went to the beach. "This one matches your skin tone and brings out the
DAVID There was no time to choose, when Nelly ran past me I had to decide between staying and confronting the brunette or going after the girl who is driving me crazy, my heart was absolute and when I realized it, I had already run around the fucking resort almost all the time I found her in the sauna, alone, curled up, wearing only her bikini, the same as before. I watched her in silence for long minutes from the doorway, fighting a little internal conflict until I realized that I couldn't bear to see her crying any longer. "Why does she still have so much power over you?" I question, sitting on the bench opposite hers, staying a few steps away to respect her space. Her body tenses at the sound of my voice, gasping in surprise at my presence. She's vulnerable right now, I can see it, she's ashamed of something she shouldn't be. And me, I'm sick inside, burning with pure fury. I should have realized what was happening to her a long time ago. "It takes a lot of self "control not to
NELLY The restlessness starts early in the morning, when the cell phone vibrates under my pillow and wakes me from an erotic dream, where David does everything he said he would do to me, marking every inch of my skin with his teeth and hands, finally making me his. body and soul. I groan, listening to the muffled noise coming from the device. What the hell! I dip my hands under the pillow and grab the phone. I close my expression after checking the time at the top of the display, it's too early for someone to be disturbed in the middle of a holiday. My eyes drop to the name emblazoned on the small screen and I almost gasp at the coincidence. David. I clear my throat and fix my disheveled hair even though he can't see me, I drag the answer button and wait until I hear his voice to say anything. " I woke you up?" he asks after wishing me good morning and his voice is so husky I have to squeeze my thighs together to control the fluttering in my core. "No..." I lie, after a few awkwa
NELLY NELLY NARRATING... "Omelette?" he asks when he looks at me and I realize it's a question. I nod and he smiled. "Great, I made the best omelette you've ever had in your life. My eggs are special. " He winks at the last part and I try not to think maliciously. "And yes. I'm real and so are you. " He added after a few seconds, bringing a piece of tomato to my mouth. I open it and he smiles. "Good girl. Greens?" he asks, holding up a handful of leaves in different shades of green. I shrug, and he pours a good amount over the scrambled eggs in the frying pan, adding pieces of tomato and pickled mushrooms. He puts everything on a large plate and asks me to take it to the part of the balcony where there is a table. I do as he asks, and his friend brings the cutlery, juice, plates, toast and some diced fruit. As I start to tinker with my plate, waiting for hunger to strike, his loud growl almost makes me fall off my chair, and he threatens to devour me again. "I swear to God you wo
