She returned to the building and tried to enter as if nothing had happened, but the security guard prevented her from gaining access to her own apartment. Angrily, she asked why she couldn't enter her own apartment, and the guard didn't say much. He only pointed to the group of suitcases piled up in a corner and indicated that the lady had expressly requested to prohibit her entry.Her icy face turned pale. She lit a cigarette, driven by pride, she grabbed all her suitcases and stuffed them into the car as best she could and drove away. She had just become homeless with nowhere to go.She couldn't return to her mother and brother's place. He himself had said that he would never live in that small apartment again, enduring Yuselso's snoring and her mother's complaints. Worse yet, he had let his family know this after convincing his girlfriend to let him live with her.He also couldn't go to his best friend's house. With t
On the way to the hospital..."Can't you go any faster?""I'm doing my best, miss...""It seems he's reacting, he appears to be opening his eyes!" She was sitting in front of him, attentive to every one of his movements."Really?"... Emotion caused the old man to brake abruptly."Michael, concentrate and be careful!" She sat up, as the sudden stop had caused her to fall headfirst into Yukio's lap, making his hat fall off.Those brown eyes slowly opened, and he recognized the blurry image of a beautiful face adorned with those gray, bewitching eyes. In his state of lethargy, he didn't recognize anything happening around him. He raised his right hand and placed it on Sotomayor's cheek, caressing her face. Then he brought his other hand to the girl's head and stroked her black hair falling over her shoulders."Y-You're... so b-beautiful..." He pulled Jina's face towards him and kissed her on the lips.Sotomayor tried to pull away from the kiss, but Yukio continued to press his lips again
"Hey!... Michael is my butler, and he's here to drive my limousine, not to carry your packages.""But you were the one who suggested taking me shopping. By the way, thanks for the card. I think I'll save the rest of the limit for my expenses this week...""Do as you wish!... By the way, that card isn't a gift. I'll deduct each of your purchases from your salary." She entered the limousine angrily. "Let's go, Michael. I don't have all day, and I want to go home and wash my hair.""Wait!" He shouted, causing the butler to stop the limousine."Now what do you want?" She responded, rolling down the window.Raindrops started falling, soaking everything in their path."You better get in the limousine!" She ordered, opening the door. "If you stay in the rain, you'll catch a cold, and your nice new suit will get wet!" She was speaking to him tenderly now.&nbs
An hour later...Sotomayor opened her eyes; the background music and loud screams indicated that the bloody movie hadn't ended. She stared at the face of the brunette who remained unmoving, his eyes fixed on the screen. Then she looked back; the couples in the theater were kissing passionately."But what a fool I am! It's obvious he brought me to this theater so that we could be alone."She smiled mischievously and looked back at the brunette who barely blinked.Slowly, she approached and pressed her lips against Tanarro's and tried to kiss him passionately."Aah!!!"The brunette screamed."SHHHHH!!!"A year and a half later...He looked up at the stairs, saw her descending with a big smile on her lips. What he saw left him breathless... Where was the chubby, messy girl? Where did her colorful streaks go? Where was her messy hairstyle? Wher
As was his custom, he went out jogging at dawn, a healthy habit from his school days. He went through the nearest park without losing pace; exercise helped him clear his mind. He returned to the apartment an hour and a half later.It was already past six in the morning on that wonderful Friday, promising to be a less busy day than the previous ones. He called the butler but couldn't find him anywhere. Finally, he headed to the kitchen to find something to have for breakfast. He found a note attached to the refrigerator door. The characters seemed somewhat childish, and he immediately understood it had been written by Sotomayor's own hand. He smiled as he read: "Tanarro: Michael is sick, so I gave him the day off. Here's the shopping list you need to take care of... See you later, Sotomayor."His face turned horrified: Going to the supermarket to buy groceries! He remembered that he had never done anything like that. When he lived in the mans
And in the apartment..."What's all this? Yukio, in this house, it's just you and me! You bought too much tofu.""It's your fault, you didn't specify quantities, and I don't know much about household shopping," he finished unpacking the items for the Korean girl to put away."Ultraman cereal? Yukio! We're not kids!" the brunette approached."I'm sorry! You're always jumping around, so I must have mistaken you for a child," he said, approaching and petting her head as if she were a puppy. Then he handed her a small bag and turned his gaze away to avoid Sotomayor seeing him blush. "This is the last item on the list.""Oh, yes! Condoms, and this is... intimate lubricant?" Sotomayor blushed. "But what are you thinking? You don't believe...""Why are you getting mad now? The list clearly said 'lubricant,' so I bought you the lubricant.""Idiot!" She yelled, throwing the box at him. "You didn't read it correctly! It's brake lubricant! Didn't you notice the additional label? All you think ab
The day started just like the previous ones: exercise, breakfast, solitude... Sotomayor hadn't returned home since Sunday afternoon. He got up several times during the night to check the raven-haired girl's room, but he didn't find her. He didn't call her either, although he contemplated the idea of calling her several times, but with what excuse? He fell asleep, clutching the device with a screen that read, "damn pig."He had breakfast completely alone; the cereal with milk lacked flavor, as if it wasn't the same cereal as the day before...Sunday, Seven in the Morning..."Ah!" He stretched lazily and then scratched his head, running his fingers through his disheveled black hair. He walked into the kitchen, dragging his feet. "What's for breakfast?"Yukio stared at her. Sotomayor entered the kitchen dressed in a red pajama with the nightgown partially unbuttoned at the front, exposi
Monday, eight in the morning...He finished his cereal with a smile, then looked at the index finger of his left hand. The memory of Sotomayor cleaning his wound with a small piece of cotton and tenderly applying the bandage made him smile."Silly and immature... If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened... It's been twenty-four hours since that moment when you treated this little scratch with tenderness... Where are you, Sotomayor? Are you sleeping in your lover's arms?"The sound of the phone interrupted his thoughts."Hello, Tana speaking...""Yukio!" Hamazaki interrupted from the other end. "Old friend, when will you be back? It doesn't matter; you have to help me. I've been trying for an hour to come up with a high-impact proposal for..."And there was Ankit calling him for the umpteenth time to ask him some work-related questions. He still
