Linna was about to go down from the presidential office to the company hall, where the real party was taking place. Actually she was nervous, nervous because there were European foreigners there keeping an eye on her business and because Robert is there. Inside that room. The reason was to ask about her son but she ended up getting a phone call and staying right there.The decision to invite the whole Scully family was the first step to make the two families not be at war every time they see each other, as Matt stayed with his nanny. Of course he doesn't like the idea of having a nanny, but on occasions like this Linna still doesn't think he is ready for parties like this. Totally tedious.She had already forgiven that man and his family, however in the last few days she seemed overthinking it. About what she herself had done to herself, to her family. Matthew had gotten used to not having a father who cared about him, but remembering all the times he asked about his father when he wa
With the importunate thoughts out of his mind Robert stared steadily at Linna, sitting on that yellow couch trying to disguise his gaze by staring at the buildings outside. It was certainly a beautiful sight, but it couldn't compare to it. It was getting harder and harder for him to see Linna so many times a week, I mean, everything seemed so different. And the way she looked charmed him, and it wasn't even her looks.His heart was racing every time their eyes met. Everywhere. Even though he knew that the look coming from those beautiful brown eyes to him had no feeling at all, there was no anger or hurt, but there was no brightness either. Understanding this is easy for him, because he knows the things he has done, and he also knows that for her it might still be unbearable to stay in the same room as him every moment.Closeness was difficult for both of them, as much as Robert was enjoying it more and more. Even though he avoided silly, silly smiles and of course unnecessary comment
It was late at night when Dylan called her for dinner. Linna was already sleepy, she was tired, she hadn't had dinner yet and so he proposed to go to her house to make dinner himself. He had never been to her house before, because she doesn't put someone she has known for such a short time inside her house, but he gives her so much trust that she gave in. It was a surprise to herself how much trust she was giving this man, but if she dares to close herself off to everyone who pulls up and likes her she will end up the famous single aunt of the family. It's not like it was a bad idea, although it's just a scurrilous and needless nickname that makes a person dull. However, she has always wanted to experience love.He had done the week's fair a day ago, so depending on what he was going to make, it was no problem because all the ingredients would be there. Unless it was too fancy an invention for this time of night. The doorbell rang and she answered the door dressed in a white satin hob
- Love, do you need help? - Robert clenched his eyes, and the other avoided the teasing smile. Linna stared at Dylan and laughed.- Love? Dylan is not that much. - That actually sounded like a joke, she knew he was trying to tease Robert. Dylan was annoyed and closed his face as soon as he noticed the smug grin on the other's face, which he disguised by looking at the paintings on the wall.- Are you another friend of my mother's? - He pulled Matthew over, already sensing that there was something there, much more than friendship.- Oh yes, it's good to finally see you, Matthew. - He smiled at the little boy. - I'm Dylan.- It's a pleasure, Dylan. - He smiled politely and went to his father's side. Dylan was upset, he was not happy so he went into the bathroom hallway and started fiddling with his cell phone, seriously thinking about leaving. Linna took the medicine and gave it to her son, and as requested by his father, she also handed over the prescription.- Shall we go, big boy? -
Linna lost count of how many times she rolled from side to side on her extremely comfortable double bed, which now felt more like a concrete bed. She felt like a teenager, or maybe a child, her body sweated like in a sauna because it was covered from head to toe with the blanket, and yet she kept her eyes wide open inside and closed to the world outside. As a child she had the silliest fear in the world.People always talked about the old man in the sack who carried stubborn children or those who didn't sleep early, or the bogeyman and the headless mule. But that wasn't his fear, his fear was of having snakes under his bed. His bed had plenty of space underneath, where many of his toys were kept, but in his head there was a space where this snake could hide and attack him during the night.After he grew up, he began to love snakes. Snakes are amazing animals. Starting with the fact that they have no legs and can't see straight, their vision is just a blur and that's how they identify
- No, she pushed him away. - It's not possible. I thought I could finally be happy and I just threw myself into the trap! I almost... almost had sex with that bastard. And the worst part is that I only found out about it because of that stupid slip of his for calling me love. When Dylan put the knife to my neck I thought I would die right there! Inside my own home! With someone I thought I could trust! I'm a fucking loser.Robert pulled her to his body, making him take a step back from the impact her body made, his large hand little on her head forcing her to stay there crying into his chest. Wetting him more and more, not that it mattered in any way.- You're not a failure. - He closed his eyes, placing his nose on the tip of her head and smelling the good shampoo. - It's okay, cry. It's all right. It's not your fault, we can fix this, he's the bad person, not you for believing he was good! - Robert felt stunned. - Did he threaten you with a knife?- He squeezed my throat and put the
Robert stared at Linna once more, his eyes calm as his eyelids seemed light and heavy in the same instant, in less than ten minutes she was asleep, she was exhausted, afraid, tired, it was no wonder that after feeling protected she slept so quickly. Even though he wished she would sleep with him in his bed, he was satisfied that she felt safe there, in his house, in his presence. He could be hypocritical enough to say that in a house that size there were only two bedrooms and one of them was Matt's, so technically she would have no other option, but it was remarkable how she was so fragile and vulnerable so he just put her to bed, covered her body with the comforter turning on the air conditioning and making sure she was nice and comfortable.It was like closing his eyes to fall asleep completely. Robert closed the door after turning off the light completely and made his way to his room taking his fingers to her mouth where he squeezed remembering the kiss minutes ago. Smiling like an
- I'm Detective William, nice to meet you. - He held out his hand, his face was pleasant and he seemed intelligent.- Pleasure, I'm Robert. Father of Linna's son. - He smiled weakly, shaking the other's hand out of politeness and respect. Everyone sat down, Robert next to his wife, who was wearing a very comfortable flowered dress.- Well, you must already know the situation, Robert. I just have to tell you a few things. First, Linna, yesterday at three o'clock in the morning he came back to your house. - Automatically she shivered, biting her lips, and at the same time she managed to think "how nice that I slept over at Robert's house. - He didn't go in, he just went around the house, as if to make sure you would be there, but I guess he noticed that you weren't. For some reason he didn't destroy any cameras either, and doesn't seem to have noticed much of them. So what can be done now, and the ideal thing to do, is for you not to be alone and preferably outside your house.- How can
