unexpected reunion( amy)

Time passed too quickly, a month and a few days had already passed since that day and the man didn't return, we didn't even know if the surgery had gone well or if he had died or something else, we had even dreamed about him a couple of times and woke up excited and drenched in sweat, he was ungrateful, he could have sent a little card saying he was fine but nothing, not even a measly piece of information, the rich are all the same, they just look at us when they need it.

As I only worked at night, during the day I had nothing to do, so I dedicated myself to household chores and taking care of my little plants, at that very moment I was on the porch watering the orchids and inhaling the sweet perfume coming from the flowers. who was happy, finishing this task I went to the kitchen preparing lunch that consisted of white rice, stroganoff, straw potatoes, food that I knew very well was Dafne's favorite, a few minutes later she arrived from her job to have lunch, she worked in a salon beauty, when she saw the meal she sighed and simply threw her bag on the sofa and went to help herself.

While we ate, she complained about her aching back and swollen feet from standing up so much.

___ seriously Amy I must have done about 10 hairs today..

I opened my mouth widening my eyes denoting surprise, Dafne continued the chatter.

___I already counted my day, now your turn, what did you do again?

I pointed to the balcony where the flowers were, Dafne wrinkled her nose, she thought it was a waste of time to dedicate myself to gardening.

___ you're looking like an old lady amy, in a few days you're going to walk around with bobs in your hair and a bathrobe, you have to go out and enjoy life, date, tell me when was the last time you kissed on the mouth?

I rolled my eyes at her and she just shrugged, dafne was a nuisance, she always said what she wanted and when she wanted, while she kept her attention on her stroganoff dish I paid attention to her admiring her physical attributes she was a beautiful woman, she had a beautiful body and beautiful red locks, friendly and cheerful she was the type of woman to stop traffic, no one was immune to her charm, noticing that I was looking at her she asked curiously:

__What is it that is looking at me like that?

My fingers moved in unison forming the phrase:

"__You and beautiful"

___ah thank you friend, you are too, I swear that if you weren't straight, I'd get you right..

Smiling at Daphne's joke, I lightly moved my hand forming the question:

"Even though I'm mute?"

__Now and as far as this gets in the way, for love, the important thing is body language, lips...

A smile played on my lips. Dafne was a clown but incredibly she knew how to lift me up and make me feel good about myself, a difficult task since I had very low self-esteem.

At night I took a cold shower, wore comfortable jeans and sneakers, put the clothes I used to dance in a backpack on my back

__ already going to work amy?

I moved my hands slowly so Dafne could understand.

_yes, I'll show up earlier today"

__quer that I take you by car?.

A corner smile played on my lips, I moved my hand slightly saying:

""  __but of course I want you to take me, ever since that incident I've been shaking all over when I pass that alley.

____ I would have found a job somewhere else by now.

I arched an eyebrow with a certain sarcasm, Dafne noticed.

___ what it was?

I moved my hand again saying simply:

"" __you forget my situation is not dafne, I can't say people don't usually hire seedlings, that disgusting nightclub was the only place that accepted me.

___ I didn't mean to offend you my friend, I just think you deserve better than dancing to that bunch of drunk bastards.

That conversation was irritating me, I knew deep down that Dafne was right but that didn't lessen my irritation at all without looking at her_ I left the apartment running down the stairs dafne who was running after caught me on the last step.

___wait for me I'll take you..

The drive to the club was silent, Dafne parked in front of the club and before I jumped out of the car she grabbed my arm.

___ I already apologized friend, I didn't want to upset you, I swear.

I sighed deeply looking at Dafne her friendship had been a gift to me I was always very lonely, it was difficult to make friends due to my disability.

I gestured an apology.

_ "" I'm sorry friend, I'm upset with life and I'm taking it out on you. Said

___ It's ok friend, I understand you..

__"" Thanks..

She kissed my cheek, stroking my hair.

___  you are wonderful amy never doubt said.

I hugged her tight and then got out of the car and entered the club right after through the back door to my improvised dressing room, I changed the jeans for a sexy set, I let my hair down letting it fall like a waterfall, I put on a bright red lipstick and a provocative makeup, when I looked in the mirror I didn't recognize myself it was as if when I went on stage I became another woman, I became what men wanted, daring, sensuality, off stage I was just a girl still eager for acceptance and love, God, I wanted to be loved, I wanted to be seen as a woman worthy of love and not just a piece of meat, something to be used and discarded like a useless old rag.

The bar owner announced me and as soon as I got on stage the men howled the name " angel, … angel…

Angel was the artistic name they had given me because, according to them, my name was too boring and didn't attract attention.

The music started to play and I moved sensually around the pole dancing pole and minutes later I was moving performing magnificent acrobatic movements I was aware of the greedy looks of those drunks on my body, I finished with a step called inverted dolphin to which I stayed hanging upside down on the iron bar, the palms popped and I bowed in thanks and left the stage escorted by security guards this prevented any of those idiots from trying to grab me, the verbal harassment suffered was enough, at least my body was protected in the privacy of the dressing room I changed the sexy clothes for my comfortable jeans and taking a tissue from my backpack I cleaned my lipstick and makeup, right after using the back door to leave that club, when looking at the dirty alley that I would have to pass I remembered the fateful day when I found that man I automatically trembled, a thick sound sounded behind me, I would have screamed if I had a voice.

__ It was you who wanted to find..

I turned around in exasperation, facing a man almost two meters tall, with tanned skin and a smile that would melt any woman. I cringed and the man took a step forward saying:

__ don't be afraid I'm Montenegro the man you found shot in the alley

He knew that, his thick and half hoarse voice gave him, in addition to remembering that pair of deep eyes, dumbfounded, he continued to look at that man, impressed and totally unresponsive.

___ you will not speak to me? If you're in doubt that it's me, I can prove it

I tried to gesture and try to explain it but nothing came out I was too nervous I was shaking like a beauty so the only alternative I found was to run like crazy.
