The custom, is stronger than love?
On Monday morning, Carlos was heading to the bar for routine earnings accounting, on the way he met Sara, who was leaving with a newspaper in hand … that meant that she had started looking for a new place to live.Between them, there was only a small exchange of glances and ‘good morning’, before they both continued on their way. He couldn't help but feel lonely that morning as, even if it was a lazy day, she was always around, making coffee for the two of them, and then discussing the events of the night before.He liked to see her arrive, liked him … although he never admitted it, all those endless conversations in which she always ended up involving him, he appreciated her ease of smiling, even when the world was destroying around her, she could always smile. After several days, Carlos began to understand and accept that he missed her.

And then… he understood
Although he had spent most of the previous night awake, Carlos was that morning with a very good disposition and even with, a strange, good sense of humor, but as the afternoon fell, his attitude gradually changed.He wanted to entertain himself by taking care of various things that he had pending, but nothing worked. Annoyed, he returned home, turned off his cell phone so that no one would disturb him, took a couple of drinks lost in thought, and inadvertently, fell asleep sitting on the sofa.He saw himself running, very scared, behind a moving vehicle, trying to stop him … and as much as he screamed, there was so much noise in the street that they couldn't hear him. At some point, he was no longer running, but he was a passenger in the rear seats of the vehicle, he kept yelling at the driver to stop, but nobody seemed to notice him, not even the boy sitting nex

“Birds of a feather flock together” (I)
The fact that Jazmin descended from a distinguished and wealthy family had been the perfect excuse for her to never worry about doing anything useful in her life. She had graduated from college but had never exercised her profession, was not involved in the family business, and she didn't care either since her father would inherit it enough that it would never be necessary to work.She was upset and irritated in her room, thinking about her last conversation with Carlos, wanting to be with him … especially, remembering his recent birthday. She was calling him, but he never answered her for what she stopped insisting on.Deep down, she knew that he didn't care if she congratulated him or not, it was clear that there was no love between them, so she finally accepted the divorce process, assuming that always, in one way or another, she would be present in her ex's life … a

"Birds of a feather flock together" (II)
Sara realized that Brian's sister was the same woman with whom she had seen Carlos. Jazmin and Brian brothers? She couldn't believe it, although some things were beginning to make sense to her, remembering that the blond had mentioned a woman when he argued with her boss at the bar. She had become so absorbed, organizing her ideas, that she had to react soon and get out of her thoughts if she didn't want everyone to start looking at her strangely. She tried to raise her hand to introduce herself, but assumed, from the way Jazmin looked at her, that the woman had no intention of shaking hands, so she only greeted.In Sara's mind, this phrase was constantly repeated, ‘She is Jazmin, my sister and Carlos's wife’ But, he had told her she was his ex-wife. Why deny it, she was too bothered by the fact that he had not corrected the error. Or was there nothing

When you have nothing good to say ... (I)
On Sunday, Carlos was still upset … although, to be honest, even he himself couldn't identify the true cause of his continued bad temper. He no longer knew if because of Brian's stupidity, Sara's lies, or because of himself, for having been a coward for not expressing his feelings when he had the opportunity. If he had, she would never have gone into Brian's arms and nothing bad would have happened. **«»** Night came and the Mon'tblank opened its doors. Carlos was in the kitchen, giving some instructions to the staff when one of the security officers approached to inform him:“With permission, Mr. Mon'tblank.”“Tell me.”“Someone is waitin

When you have nothing good to say ... (II)
“Sara, look at me.”He spoke to her in a soft voice, but she wasn't brave enough to hold his gaze, her heart was pounding, the oxygen inside the room became insufficient, and her nervousness worsened every time she remembered how obvious it had been. She had given herself away like a fool in front of him. She needed to get out of that office before she continued to make mistakes and if he continued to looking at her that way, she was not going to be able to contain herself or hide everything that his closeness made her feel.She tried to confuse him in order to escape, but Carlos remained firm in his position and this time he was determined to ‘finish the task’, so he moved closer to Sara and gently, but firmly, he took her by the waist bringing her closer slowly, he caressed her cheek and with his thumb, he lightly brushed the corner of her lips, all while lo

Starting to live
Monday morning … Both, Carlos and Sara, were still trying to assimilate what had happened the night before, each from his place, and although they had not yet started a relationship, both received the new day with a wide smile, excited and with the imagination flying between the clouds. Carlos was no longer a young man. Yes, he was passionate … but romanticism was not exactly his specialty, perhaps due to his strong, demanding, and direct personality.For a long time, he concealed his feelings for Sara, in a vain attempt to keep control of the situation, just as he maintained control of everything in his life, but brutal and shamefully, he failed in the attempt. He could not deny that the closeness of the young woman affected him in ways that he himself could not, and did not know how to explain, her mere presence altered his heartbeat, his breathing, his thoughts … his world completely.

A past ... Dead and buried? (I)
During the rest of the week, the staff had noticed certain changes in Carlos' behavior but were unaware of what was happening. He maintained his strong character regarding standards compliance and quality work, but at the same time, his attitude was much more relaxed and even friendly. Sara had proposed him, almost begged, that things in the Mon'tblank continue the same, she thought that if some coworkers were already looking at her suspiciously since her sudden hiring, starting a relationship with her boss would not make things easier for her. At first, Carlos strongly opposed, since there was no reason to hide, but in the end, he ended up giving in on the condition that it only be for a few days, at least to give her time to assimilate things.And, although the relationship was at a very early stage, Carlos was happy and very much enjoyed Sara's company. It was clear that this time, he would take the time and think t

A past ... Dead and buried? (II)
My Parlanchina, now what did you do?Thought Carlos in love and overprotective, while another of his facets … the severe Carlos, lover of the laws and fighter for just causes, moved quickly, pushing everything and everyone out of his way to take control and take charge of the situation.“Sara, what's going on?” He approached her, taking her shoulders firmly, trying to transmit calm, which to be honest, he himself lacked at the moment.The second of the agents, whom he had completely ignored since his attention was focused on preventing her from being handcuffed, placed himself next to Sara, with which Carlos could confirm that he was someone known, given the exercise from his profession as a lawyer. Perhaps that was why they had waited for him and not yet taken her away, he knew the procedures very well and knew that it

He began to feel bad, so much so that, without realizing it, a couple of tears appeared and ran down his cheeks, this time he did not try to hide them, after a long time, he allowed himself to be weak. So much uncertainty hurt him … it really did. **«»** When he returned to the Mon'tblank, it was very obvious that everyone was intrigued, even more, when they did not see Sara return with him, the comments and gossip increased, which he completely ignored. Jean Pierre, who had been worried and nervous about what had happened, when he saw Carlos's hurt look and his red eyes, knew that everything was wrong, for a moment he wanted to ask him but quickly realized that it was not the time.
