All Chapters of Rented Pleasure: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I say goodbye to Cristopher after another half hour between conversations. The words came out on their own after a while. I can't understand how a middle-aged man with dark eyes and intense gaze could give me confidence. It offered me peace of mind just by being there.I stop in front of my apartment.I don't feel the need to run away again."Hi, Thea." “Sophie, the girl who lives on the second floor, greets me when she sees me enter the elevator.She is a petite six”foot”five with short Halle Barry hair, gray eyes, and thin lips. Walk here and there in sportswear. His life is to do exercises of any kind and at any time."Hi, Sophie."I never spoke to her for more than five minutes.She seems to have an urgent need to talk to me and for us to be friends. I don't have the same interest. I try to make you understand it with courtesy."Shall we have that glass of wine today?" He asks me before the elevator opens

“What do we do now?We finished the three bottles of wine.Sophie is telling the time and I ... well, I sit in the clouds with Santiago looking at me as if he were going to eat at any moment.The cravings dominate me.His eyes are so dark and bright, between coffee and chocolate, between hell and paradise.Considering that he is my devil incarnate, for me it can be my condemnation and I gladly throw myself.“Where do we go now?Sophie is standing in the doorway with her cell phone and her wallet in hand. He looks us from side to side.Santiago has his eyes fixed on me. I think it can tell how many times I blink per minute."I didn't know we were going to continue out of here," he says."First of all, you weren't even invited," Sophie counters with an innocent smile.I suspect she can't hold more than three glasses of wine and I think she has finished a full bottle by herself. If we go away, I wi

I am stunned to hear how the mysterious man, with whom I apparently have a casual sexual relationship, has a younger brother with whom he has family problems. I have never been able to experience such offensive exchanges of words between my own blood. Being just Joshua and me, coupled with the fact that it was twelve years apart, made our conversations not too difficult. Between times teaching him to use the spoon, moments where I showed him how to enter the head first and then the sleeves, I did not have time to fight with him. I guess I enjoyed it as much as I could."Oh. "Sophie seems delighted with the idea." Doesn't that woman realize the tension between these two? “. It is fascinating! Why didn't you tell me, Matti?I grab the septum and close my eyes.In short, Sophie is like a small girl with a squeaky voice, oblivious to what is happening around her and always saying the first thing that comes to her head."I didn't see the opportunity, swe

Present Don't you create the time machine yet?Year 2020? Can not be.I regret it the moment I spoke the words.They sounded safer and less toxic before they left my lips. My mouth tasted like blood immediately and my hands shook as I made such a confession.Santiago's rigid body warns me that it is more than he could have expected from a hug with a woman like me. Maybe he is not interested in what happens to me. What happens to me is none of his business ... Maybe he doesn't even care if I die ..."Has someone threatened you, Thea?" He questions still with his arms around me.This time I am the one who breaks contact. I feel his reluctance to leave me, to let go, but I succeed.“Yes. Is nothing. "I already want to take the weight off the situation." My cell phone has not rung again and I did not receive anything strange tonight when I arrived. Maybe it was just someone making a joke. I don'

Eight years ago I wake up in the middle of the night as my cell phone vibrates. I usually sleep with the lights off, except when Joshua is scared. I keep my eyes open as I get used to the dark.Who would write to me in the middle of the night?I grope for my phone on the bed, grab it, and check the time by pressing the power button.3:00 amWe live in a small apartment that is often infected by pests such as cockroaches. I try to avoid them, but it is difficult for me and more so if I consider that I do not have time to be at home with Joshua. He has learned to go to school by taking the bus and coming home alone. In the meantime, he expects me to come home from work late at night. The opportunities that offer a better life every day are made even more difficult for me. I work twelve hours in the hotel bar; I'm a waitress, I make drinks… everything I can to get m
