Chapter: Chapter elevenWe have to go, another time.A large, strong hand was placed on Lun's shoulder, making a gentle pressure that carried a clear message: sit back down. He looked at Eric, who was the one making that gentle contact. Alissa was hopelessly struggling against Gideon's hands, who was forcing her to stay in place.At that moment a waitress approached. She had long red hair that contrasted with her green eyes. She looked at all the men with a big smile, but when she stopped at Ben, her smile deepened."Can I get you something?"Eric looked at Lun sharply. He had one of his hands on his knee, pressing down. She closed her eyes and bit her lip hard, fighting that part of herself that was forcing her to scream at the moment. Where his hand was, for some strange reason she felt warmth, a soothing warmth slowly creeping up her leg. She wanted to shake it off."Beer," replied Ethan, folding his arms."And me" replied Gideon. "What do you want, Alissa?""Another would be nice" he whispered looking at

Chapter: Chapter tenShe glanced sideways at him and hit his neck, where Adam's apple was faintly visible. She liked it. He had a thin layer of beard starting to grow out of him, obscuring his appearance. Lun's gaze slowly, meeting lips that moved as he spoke to someone.She continued her scrutiny. Then came his nose, straight and strong. That way, just by looking at half of his face she could tell how beautiful he was. She moved up to his eyes. On Gideon as he spoke. She could make out their color. They were dark as night but had a layer of light blue around the iris that made him look.... Stunning.What's more, she had run out of breath.At that moment he looked at her, catching her. There was a connection between the two of them that everyone could notice, causing silence to reign among the group for a few seconds. A cold and cutting silence. A light blue-eyed blond to her right placed a hand on her trembling thigh."Don't tell me you like Eric" Lun startled. "Honey, my name is Ben and I'm at your beck

Chapter: Chapter nineLun blinked and felt his eyes water from the smoke in the shop. Needless to say, she had arrived in half an hour and running! No cab had stopped to take her. She felt her shirt clinging to her body with sweat, the inside of her thighs itched from rubbing.She ran a hand through the locks that had come loose from her ponytail and joined the large crowd in the club. The music was loud, the dance floor full of people dancing and the bar covered with drinkers. There were also tables that made a half circle around the dance floor. The chairs were joined together and were black in color, while the tables were dark wood in color.As she walked around dodging people or hands that were placed on her waist to urge her to dance, Lun watched the men's faces intently, but none of them rang a bell.At the far end of the venue, Lun spotted the bathrooms. She went with large strides and with her heart in a fist. Every time a hand touched her, she was startled and looked at the one who caused the touc

Chapter: Chapter eightWhen Alissa left, Lun forgot to ask her what she was going to tell him. They had been chatting and drinking coffee that she made herself after lunch. Paulina had stayed with them and that cat on her lap, stroking its little head gently. Luna had given her his phone number and promised to call her tomorrow.When she was left alone, she went to her room and closed the door when she saw Paulina's cat chasing her. She left her cell phone on the nightstand before lying down on the bed and closing her eyes, trying to find some rest. As she fell asleep, she dreamed of her parents when she was ten years old. The four of them were in a park at dusk, it was in autumn. Her mother was running after them both to put a cardigan on them while her father laughed and helped them run away.Instantly the dream became a blur to reveal dark blue eyes. Gradually, the image receded to show black hair, masculine lips, a strong, regal jawline and....Lux woke up to the sound of her cell phone. She blinked and

Chapter: Chapter sevenAfter Lun pulled herself together, she went to the cafeteria bathroom to rinse out her mouth. She even bought a piece of gum to try to get rid of the bitter taste. She had vomited the coffee on the floor. The waiter was not amused, but just smiled and gave her a glass of water.When she came out, she saw Alissa waiting for her with a somewhat sad smile. She was sure she felt guilty about her headaches. What she didn't know was what had set her free.When she reached her, she gestured to her."Let's go for a walk," she rubbed her throat."Sure."They walked down Houston Street talking in hushed, leisurely tones. They didn't stop to look in any stores. Both Alissa and Lun were still feeling a little stunned by what had happened. They didn't know what to do about it. Every time they passed a crosswalk, Lun's eyes darted around the crowd, trying to spot any familiar faces from the accident.The two girls had agreed not to tell the police or family members anything. No one would believe th

Chapter: Chapter sixWas she going crazy? When she was forced to go to a psychologist, the man who had treated her told her that she perceived reality better than others. She was not crazy, just frightened by the episode she had lived through. He told her that if she didn't remember anything, it was because she was afraid of facing the unknown.Those were the words she repeated to herself every morning so as not to distrust herself and what she perceived."You can call me Alissa, that's what everyone calls me. I am Spanish and I have come to New York looking for a job, since I have more possibilities here than in my native country. Do you want more information? Well, we met in the parking lot near a home cooking restaurant. I was complaining because we couldn't get out of there because of a stupid storm, what's more, they said the water had cut all the electrical circuits!". Alissa looked around before speaking again. "The security guards were saying we couldn't get out of there because the doors were pow
