Chapter 14

Jack

When I arrive at the address that Alex had given me, I discover that he lived in a building and soon I groan in torture. - Shit! I moan again. I make a maneuver with the car, park it near the building. Before getting out of the car with Estrelinha, I grab my bag. I get out of the car and soon we come face to face with the doorman. — Mr. Mendonça is waiting for me. "And the doorman measures me up and down, and he doesn't look disgusted by the look on his face." — You can go upstairs, Mr. Mendonça is waiting for you. — After the doorman calls Alex's apartment, he asks me to go upstairs. - Idiot! I grumble, the doorman was drying me with his eyes. "We're almost there... go fast, elevator..." I say as I enter. "Little star, I hope it doesn't take too long."

The elevator reaches the floor of Alex's apartment and I thank God. I go out, go to the door, ring the bell. I wait for the door to open and… “FUCK!!!!” This man is perfect, what body is that? The shirt he wore made him so much hotter, my hands are itching to touch him that I forget about my elevator phobia. "Jack, Jack, you better wipe the drool that's running out of the corner of your mouth, girl." In the midst of my thoughts and with Alex in front of me, I say the first thing that comes to my mind.

"Alex, did you have to live in an apartment?" - I say full of irony. - Come in, Jackeline. Welcome to my home! - After a hearty laugh, he greets me holding out his hand for me to enter the apartment,

- Thanks. Nice apartment! - I comment admiringly. - Thank you. I see you brought your little dog. - He says joking with her. - Yes. You said I could bring her. — I remember. — And I did say so! he says, reassuring me. “I'll call the kids for you to meet. Oh, make yourself comfortable, it's your house,” he says and leaves to fetch the children in another room. And I stand there admiring his apartment, feeling fear and anxiety, because I'm going to meet the twins. I drop Little Star on the floor, take off her collar and all I hear is a scream followed by an angry voice. "Get out of here, you pest!" — I get pissed off wanting to know who's talking, and it doesn't take long and then I see Little Star running into my lap and a woman with an angry expression on her face. — Whose flea is this here? she practically screams and glares at my dog. I imagine she is Renata, the maid. "So you're supposed to be Renata?" I ask ignoring what she said.

"For you, it's Mrs Colunga!" - she says snarling. - What a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Colunga! I greet her with irony. This woman thinks she is too much. “For me, it's a displeasure. I can't believe Alex brought one of his whores into our house!

At this point, two things caught my attention. First, she called me a whore. Second: did she say the house is hers and Alex's? I get angry with her, but I think she would be a big problem, did Alex and Rafa trick me? I'll finish them off if they did. Or is it true, she is Alex's girlfriend? If so, he'll get a nice kick in the ass for cheating on me, or rather, both of them will! When I think about answering that bitch, Alex shows up at the door with the twins. “You better have more respect for my guest, Renata. - scolds the maid. It seems he heard everything and didn't like what he heard at all. I noticed that she turned pale and embarrassed. — We were just getting to know each other, right, Renata? I say it emphasizing her name, so she'll realize I'll never call her ma'am. “Of course, miss,” she replies with a fake smile, but her eyes are enraged.

- Great! — says Alex. — Jackeline, these are my children: Caio and Valentina. — He looks at the twins: — My children, this beautiful girl is a friend of Daddy's, she is here to meet you. "Is she your girlfriend?" -Valentina asks curiously. - She's a friend of Dad's, who's going to work with me - he says running a long look over my body. My legs go wobbly and my body trembles, I tell myself to take control. - Hello, kids, my name is Jackeline Baptista, but you can call me Jack. — I greet them.

"Jack is a boy's name?" says the boy.

- Yes it's true! — I agree with him. "But girls can be called that too!" Little Star starts barking, I let her go and the children run to play with her. Caio and Valentina ask me several questions, while I answer and enjoy myself together with the twins, Renata watches me with blood in her eyes. My mind wanders and I start to think That one Rafa said he liked Alex. Rafa didn't fool me, but now does he like her?

I look at Alex and realize he's still looking at me that way... Beloved Jesus! Tonight will be a very long one. Soon Renata leaves, but she comes back to say that dinner is ready. We all go to the dining room. During the meal, I talked a lot with the children, in fact, they are both very smart! I notice that Renata doesn't take her eyes off Alex. With dinner over, we went to the living room, and the children continued to play with my dog, and I took the opportunity to observe all the movement of the house. "Jack, do you like video games?" – asks Caio. – Yes, I love it! — I answer, earning a beautiful smile and there you could see that the boy took the smile from his father. — Do you want to play? - He asks anxiously and, when I was going to answer yes, I remember that Alex and I were going to have a long talk. - Of course, but first I have to talk to your father - I say calling Alex in the corner. while you guys talk, let's prepare the game. — Answers Valentina. — And take care of Little Star — I ask, looking at Alex seriously, I needed to decide soon. — What is it about? - Curious question. - Can we speak where we are not heard? I say, because Renata was attentive to everything we did. “Sure, let's go to my office. — I follow and speak as soon as he closes the door. “Do you fuck your maid? I immediately drop the question that was bothering me.

He is shocked by the question and defends himself:

You are crazy? Me and Renata having sex?! — He is shocked by my question and, when I thought he wasn't going to answer me anything, he looks at me, and answers with a laugh on his face.
