The Deal Breaker Seventeen
The worn pages of her old diary lay open on the bed. Each page written in a sloppy manner telling one or another story from those distant years. She didn't distinguish too well which ones were real and which were not, for her hand used to make up different stories from time to time to somehow let go of the fact that her life wasn't that interesting. Perhaps she had underestimated herself, though.She read."Tuesday, March 4.I lost my glasses case again, and hopefully my luck will be good again and I can find them right where I left them. Mother couldn't buy me any others.I have been reading some new books and everything reminds me of him, some stories seem made to remind you that your life will never be that interesting. I'm not complaining, as some characters live hell inside their oh-so-interesting lives. I refuse to call myself boring.I wanted to tell you that these days I have been thinking about my future. I'm not in a good place and Mom wouldn't let me go see Dad, although I'
The Deal Breaker Eighteen
After what had happened the night before, James went up to his room and lay down. He was wide awake, and it wouldn't be long before the sun came up anyway.The fire had happened because of an appliance that had been left plugged in the bathroom. Probably a hair straightener or something like that. It started there, and quickly caught on the towel next to it, moving on to the curtains and the carpet.He felt confused. He was furious at Luna's irresponsibility, as that accident could have triggered something much worse. But he was also completely frightened. Portia was safe, Rose was safe, Luna was safe, but...Luna? what if something had happened to her? Because in a way, he felt responsible for her. He had put his life at risk with Angelica. That was all.Something was happening, though.He felt interested. No. Or did he?He was in denial.Two months had passed since Luna had been home. Two months was a consistent time to trigger affection for her. He considered her his friend. Somethi
The Deal Breaker Nineteen
He arrived at his office at twelve o'clock. All his employees were working in an orderly fashion. He left some papers on his assistant's desk and went straight into the office. Somehow, he couldn't get Luna out of his mind. Why were all these thoughts suddenly creeping into his head?___________________________________________________________Luna was in her room, she had several things to tidy up. The fire had destroyed much of the room and it wasn't safe to stay there. So she was moving all her things - or those that had been saved, at least - to another of the guest rooms. Portia was watching television downstairs, and Rose was resting.The hour had passed quickly, and it wouldn't be long before James would be there.She finished rearranging her clothes and looked around, she'd have to get ready too. She didn't know where they were going.She left his clothes on the bed, and went straight to the shower. It took her a few minutes, not long because she had showered after the incident
The Deal Breaker Twenty
-Did you give Portia her medication? - James asked, surprisingly calm.-Yes.She was surprised, he had reacted too well. Maybe he was just trying to be more peaceful in the face of such problems.James sighed. Luna quickly looked at him, already expecting a million words that she was sure he'd been holding back since they left the house.- You should sue him. -he said in almost a whisper.-I don't think so.James looked at her incredulously. His jaw tightened.-Are you crazy? It's harassment, Luna. Not appropriate at all!-I know, it's just...it'll pass, it's just....-Years, dear, it's been years since we left school, will it go away - he said looking at her threateningly.Luna looked at him incredulously. James had opened his mouth. "Since we got out of school."-We got out? From school?James snorted.-Let's put the lies behind us. You and I both know this isn't the first time we've met. Get over it. I didn't mention anything out of pure professionalism. -He replied angrily.-Why d
The Deal Breaker Twenty one
James rushed into Portia's room when he heard the screams. He wasn't surprised to see that it wasn't something bad.The little girl was running all over her room, behind her was Luna. It was the third time this had happened to him in a week. He should stop worrying so much, although it never hurt to be vigilant. Maybe someday the screams would be for real.He left the room quickly, then, went to his room and sat on the bed.He was planning a trip. Not a long one, but he wanted to take a trip. Two weeks had passed since his argument with Luna.How did it go? Bad? Not necessarily. Their relationship had improved, though they each tried to keep it quiet. He tried to stay out of it and be professional, but sometimes he got caught up in some things that limited that rule.He didn't want to treat her badly, but if he let her get close, it could be catastrophic, as he knew each other. He knew himself and knew how much he could get involved if they decided to be friends. Of course, the thing
The Deal Breaker Twenty two
The huge living room was illuminated by the large windows and the beige color of the walls made the room look much larger than it really was. The space was filled with dresses of all kinds. Long, short, embroidered, silk...I couldn't really distinguish beyond their colors.Upon arriving, Cameron was surprised to see James around the place."What are you doing here?" she had asked him. The answer was simple: get something for Portia, and why not, Luna.The wedding was coming up, and James could tell how desperate Luna was that she didn't have to wear it, since James hadn't given her enough notice. She had flatly refused to accept any money from him even though she hadn't gone out to get any either. For that very reason, she would do him the favor.Choosing a dress was really difficult. While he liked fashion and would never turn down a good garment, he accepted that he was at a complete loss as he had no idea what Luna's taste was.Finally, with Cameron's help, he had chosen two option
The Deal Breaker Twenty three
Sarah looked at James neutrally. He just kept smiling."Why is it that every time I'm with you, you smile?" she asked."Because I'm happy when I see you back."Sarah laughed."I'm afraid you won't see me anymore." she expressed kindly. James snorted."You're leaving again?""I never came back," she confessed as he stroked her cheek."And what is this really?"Sarah sighed."Let your soul be at ease. Please.""What do you mean?""It's time to move on. I'm with you and Portia. I'll always be there.""I...Sarah...""Do what you have to do." she smiled. Instantly, she started to walk away.No. No. He had to get her back. He tried to hold her but it was useless, her figure disappeared.And it was all over. James opened his eyes. Sweat was pouring down his forehead rapidly. His labored breathing made his chest ache and the tachycardia made his heart feel like a rock. He was hyperventilating. He tried to calm herself, though his fluttering heart prevented him from doing so.- Luna - he utter
The Deal Breaker Twenty four
James was in the front.-I could drive - he exclaimed angrily.-No, you can't. I think the doctor clearly explained that you couldn't overexert yourself.-What does that matter?-No, you won't.-Yes, I will. - he answered looking at her even more angry.-Would you rather do what you want and be physically unhealthy or take care of yourself for a while and be fine? - she scolded him.- Don't put me in a bad mood. - he said in a whisper.-Now, shut your mouth! - he exclaimed.-I don't know why I let you talk to me like that. - he complained.-I don't either, honestly. I don't dislike it, though.-Ah, well, do you like it? For what reason, may I ask? - he asked looking at her intently. She took a breath.-Because it helps you realize that you're not the boss of everyone.-I don't think I'm the boss of everyone, it's something totally different. - he defended himself.-You give orders and expect everyone to obey you," he growled.-And what do you want? I was raised this way, I can't chang
