The security guards could not stop me, but I noticed that the moment for them to be at the reception was simply to avoid being caught in the crossfire, because as soon as I opened the door, I heard the screams of Flynn's ex-wife suddenly come to my ears. I didn't enter, but I left the door ajar to listen. I didn't care that Mr. Amaral was snooping on the camera while I snooped other people.And I was not at all bothered that I had spent twenty minutes trying to convince Joseph of my lie, claiming that I was not a gossip. As he lurking through the open crack of the door to be able to know what Flynn and his ex-wife were discussing so much. The woman seemed to be spitting fire, so unpleasant that the weather inside the room seemed."How can you want to avoid me like that? "Screamed Diana. "After everything we went through together. How dare you have the courage to act in this cold and ridiculous way with me. Soon with me, Flynn? Who do you think you are to want me to move away? Why do y
Diana exploded, as if she were just waiting for a worthy opponent to go up. Almost her hands couldn't grab the suit of my uniform, and she was abruptly pulled by both arms by Flynn. He held her even if she was screaming, and made her voice sound louder and more determined than a lion's roar."Do not dare touch a finger on her," he growled, hissing with such ferocity that I ended up stepping back one step. "Diana, I'm warning you for the first and last time, don't you dare touch a finger on her.”Diana was shocked. Because she's been screaming in his face since the moment she arrived. But did you just have to threaten to assault an unknown employee and then show a reaction? She narrowed her eyes on him, then turned to me, looking at me from above below. So back to Flynn, and her next reaction was worse than if she had screamed, she smiled with debauchery and disgust."Is this your little toy of the time? "He asked in a poisonous tone. "Be careful not to make this one lose the baby too,
My life began to revolve around a different routine. I woke up a little later every day, at least until half past six in the morning, I wore my uniform that now consisted of a well-iron suit and social pants, ending once and for all with that impression that I wore a loose high school uniform. I left my hair always aligned and as smooth as possible, I was even surrendering to organic straightening products, which were really moisturizSo, using a bag instead of the old backpack, I left my apartment with the sound of my discreet escarpment crashing against the concrete floor of the ramp, only to find Flynn parked next to my building waiting to take me. His time was completely different from mine, but he ended up getting used to the issue of starting his routine earlier and having lunch earlier too, because that way he would take me back home and then straight to the supermarket.Not that I asked for it. Flynn Ashton, somehow, was wanting to be part of my life and make it as easy as pos
When night came, I took a bus that left me in front of my apartment and ran to take a shower and put what I still needed in my backpack. I evaluated the content; I put on a towel, an extra bikini in addition to which I was already wearing under the shorts and the cropped, and another change of clothes to change on the way back, in addition to a new and unprinted dress that I had bought just for the event.While I was finishing using the sunscreen, Julya sent me a message on WhatsApp telling me that they were already in front of my building, in which I was slightly confused, since she did not ask for my address before. I finished fixing my hair with some small cuddles, very aware that the strands smoothed by the flat iron would not behave at the slightest sign of water, I took the backpack and started to go down the ramps of the building."Look at that, the daisy! "Joseph said aloud, standing in front of the gate. "Ready to be watered, little flower?”"What about you? Ready to wet this
As she had moved enough to be on her side, Julya stretched her hand that wore the ring towards me, and intertwined our fingers while I also stretched my arm, in a gesture of solidarity. The palm of my hand was much colder than hers, and I thought that would be enough advantage to show that I would be nervous. I didn't look at Flynn, but I knew, from the silence that followed between him and Joseph, that they had both heard my words. I just wished that Joseph didn't have enough knowledge to identify when a person lied by his tone of voice, because he was right about his youtube course on body language. I suffered from serious linguistic and gestural addictions when I was lying.I rehearsed in front of the mirror each point that the technical expert in behavioral language reported to be a red light. Despite being a tool that would guide people to prevent them from getting into trouble, having such easy access to information allowed people like me to learn how to avoid certain gestures a
When he grimaceed again for the glass, I grumbled that I was already wanting to taste the drink to see if it was really as bad as it seemed, in what he offered me with an unencouraging expression. I tried it. My stomach burned for the strong taste. The impression was that the coffee only had water to deceive, because the taste was pure powder. And he was very sweet, in Flynn's attempt to make him less strong, when the issue would be easily resolved with a little more water. I avoided making a face of disgust, because the attendants were very close, but my silence was enough for Flynn."Re-explain to me your reasons for wanting to eat so much" I asked in a tone of supplication, bending the body that burned by the bitterness of the coffee."You, somehow I still can't explain, awakens a protective instinct to me," said Flynn, with the corners of his lips rising when he saw that I was also disappointed to have tasted your coffee. "In our first meeting, I suspected that the feeling was bec
When we got to the pier, we immediately boarded Flynn's large black and white speedboat, whose control was that of a smiling man who wore a cap. Flynn helped me board, because even if I just needed to stretch my leg, every time I looked down and realized that the sea moved the boat very slightly, my vision betrayed me. In this way, Flynn practically lifted me up in the air and put me on deck, from where I didn't leave until everyone boarded.Julya and Joseph were excited about the idea of a ride on the boat, but I confess that I started to rethink if I really liked it. Because when the vessel was turned on and the waves around it became foam, it broke in soft bumps. That left my stomach turning already in those early moments of the trip, and I had to hold on to the steel sidebars to avoid falling from the sudden vertigo.Flynn asked if anyone would like to get to know the whole vessel, considering that it would take at least forty minutes for us to get to his island. I was the only on
I recovered my senses in a startle, terrified that I had let myself be unconscious twice in the presence of strangers. I was in a bed, whose mattress was firm and did not sink due to weight. I rushed to get up, moving so fast that the dizziness assaulted me once again. I got into bed with a deaf thud, and heard some steps approaching, followed by a murmured conversation. I opened my eyes again and turned my head to look, Flynn and Julya were approaching."Do you have labyrinthitis? "He asked.I nodded my head, taking care not to move too much so as not to lose my sight once again. Julya made a sound of understanding, and then the bed swayed softly in the movement of someone climbing the mattress, and for a moment I thought it was her, until my eyes focused again and I found Flynn's bright green eyes watching me with a glow of guilt in my eyes. He was sitting next to me, leaning over so he could check my face."I'm fine," I said, feeling my tongue rough. At least I could be proud of no
