shock state. I was in shock. You know that denial inside your brain and heart, which says no, it's not what they say and you need to hear from the person's mouth that it's all a misunderstanding? I was like this. I don't know how long I stayed that way, I just know that when I realized I was lying on my bed with my grandmother and João talking in a corner of the room.I must have passed out from the wave of nervousness I felt, when I remember again I could feel immense agony, I couldn't be normal, a normal person would call the police, tell them what they knew. But I wasn't normal, I wasn't going to do that, I needed to find him again, even if I was his next victim, I didn't believe he would have the courage to hurt me. In fact, that's why he didn't stay with me when I asked. I needed to hear from his beautiful mouth that he had done it all."Daughter, you woke up!" Exclaimed my grandmother with a look of relief coming towards me. "How are you feeling?" She asked caressing my face. I

The clothes I was wearing were completely wrinkled, my hair messed up as if I had just gotten out of a fight, my lips swollen and my breathing labored. Julian was no different, his nice suit and shirt were wrinkled and a few buttons undone on his pants. Her hair was also messed up and her mouth wet for me.Both paralyzed looking at each other, and I had no idea what I would say to my grandmother if she asked me what happened to me in there. Another beat had me breathing again and coming to my senses. I pushed Julian into the bathroom and closed the door. I looked at the mirror that was glued behind the door and quickly fixed my hair, covered myself with a sheet and opened the door."Hi Grandma." I said smiling nervously."Are you well?" She asked examining me with her eyes."Yes, I was watching a movie on my phone and fell asleep." I responded hurriedly and faked a sneeze. "I think I'm catching a cold.""I see, your lips are very red. I'll get you some syrup my love." She said with a

We were there, sitting on that couch in silence for a few seconds before he started talking. At that moment I didn't know if I really wanted to know everything, if that by chance could keep us apart. But it was important to know, I needed to hear him and he needed to talk too. Julian took a long breath and began:"Have you heard of arranged marriages?" He asked me and I nodded. "That's how it all started, it was two families, the Vicenzo's and the Roman's. Listen to me carefully, now I'm going to tell you a story.""I'm listening…" I replied quietly and gave him a steady look, he had to know I was willing to listen to him."On the 19th of February 1980 in Billericay, UK, two babies were born, a boy into the Vicenzo family and a girl into the Roman family. That boy was me and the girl was Brenda Roman. Our parents in agreement years before We were born ordained a wedding for both of us. As we were totally manipulated by them, we turned eighteen and got married in a huge and unnecessary

After the breakthrough Julian and I had, nothing but that happened. We went back to his small but perfect cabin."I think I'm going to turn on my cell phone, I need to know what's going on. If my grandmother called, if João said something... It's already dawn and I have to go back home, I have class and work I do." I spoke while Julian was in the kitchen making coffee."I think it's okay." Julian said, but I was still worried.I grabbed my cell phone off the table and turned it on. After a few minutes it only vibrated twice. It was a message from each one, Florence and João.Grandma: It's okay, I'm sorry I can't come home today. But your grandmother deserves a treat. I'm sure you'll be fine with your friends. Kiss, I love you.How could my grandmother be so wonderful? I didn't know how she existed, she was the best woman and grandmother in the whole world, she was always so dedicated to me that she deserved a lot of leisure, dating, going out and having fun, throughout my childhood I

"It turned out really good!" I exclaimed admiring our model of the Eiffel Tower assembled just the way we wanted it."It turned out much better than I imagined." Harry agreed smiling."Glad we got this done." I sighed mentally. I looked at my fingers and they were all covered in ink and colored glue."Was it torturous like that?" he asked."What?" I asked confused by being distracted."Doing the job with me. Was it that bad, being in my company?" He asked, I thought the face he made was so cute that all I did was laugh."Of course not Harry. At first you were quite grumpy, let's be honest. But now you're reasonable..." I admitted."So... Will you agree to go out with me?" I widened my eyes, totally taken back by his proposal. Harry scratched his head, and looked to the side, looking nervous."Harry…" I started to speak but he cut me off."I get it! You don't want to go out with a troubled guy like me. Let me take this model to class tomorrow, I'll take you home now." He exclaimed pick
