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 worried look.

"I'm fine Grandma. It's just the beginning." I yawned. "I think I'll go back to sleep." I said trying to disguise my tremor underneath that sheet.

"Go on, daughter. I just came to tell you that I'm on my way, I don't know what time I'll be back, so I'll take my keys, lock the whole house and if you're going out with your friends, call me, okay?" She said and gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"Okay. Have fun Miss Florence. You look beautiful!" I gave her a kiss and she went down with a happy face.

I closed my eyes and sighed in relief. I closed the door behind me, locking it, and went into the bathroom where Julian was hiding. When I opened it he was sitting on a stool that I left there to change the shower from cold to hot, I was short so I needed help.

"Hey." I spoke softly, a little shy due to the intensity of minutes ago.

"I want to pick up where we left off." He got up and walked over to me with his gauze locked on my lips.

Taking my lips with voluptuousness he lifted me onto his lap taking me straight to my bed. By putting me in a good position, he started kissing every part of my body, I shuddered with every touch of his lips on my skin, inside my panties there was a despair that I didn't know where it came from, I had never felt that way .

When his lips reached mine, he took them with precision, he was very skilled, I wondered how many women he had done that with, I felt jealous but I tried to get those thoughts out of my head. It was with me that he was there, at the moment.

His hands squeezed me so that I lost myself in the sensation of pleasure that invaded me, I writh my body towards him wanting more of that pleasure. His warm lips on my face and neck made me shiver.

Just as I was about to beg him to take my anguish away, to ease the heat I felt, Julian rolled off me and stood on his back with his head in his hands.

"I can't!" he exclaimed. "I'm sorry I can't do this to you." Whispered. He looked, tormented.

"Why not, Julian?" I asked getting up and standing face to face with him.

"You are so good, so beautiful and pure. Fragile, you are so fragile." He whispered stroking my face. "I can't break you, I'm a broken guy, I have no right to do this to you."

"Julian... I'm not a glass doll that breaks easily, I can surprise you with my strength. Tell me what's going on?" I said trying to keep our eyes connected.

When he was about to say something, his phone rang in his pocket. Immediately he took the cell phone, when he looked who it was, his gauze changed.

"I have to go." He said.

"Why? Take the call Julian." I spoke with irony. He shook his head no and walked away.

"You don't know anything about what's going on and has happened in my life. Do you think it's easy for me to be here surrendering to your kisses? Fuck Eloíse, you're not making things easier. What do you see in me ?" He asked in a loud voice, I felt hurt by the way he was talking to me.

"I don't know! I just don't know what happened to me when I saw you." I replied.

Julian's phone was ringing non-stop, he was already getting impatient and I knew it was because of who was calling, my curiosity was a thousand to know. Was it a woman? His wife?

"What the fuck do you want?" He answered the call and exclaimed irritably. "It doesn't interest you!" He said. "Hell!" Screamed and hung up. His gaze looked dazed.

"Julian..." I said and he came to me taking my arm.

"You come with me." He pulled my arm hard.

"Onde?" I asked confused.

"You'll know when we get there. But for now just come with me and be quiet." He looked, almost desperate. I knew something had happened, the person who called him said something that left him in that state.

"Julian, I can't go out... I have to tell my grandmother." I protested.

"Call her on my cell later, make up something, that you're going out with your friends, but you have to come with me now!" He exclaimed squeezing my arm.

"It's hurting me…" I said with tears in my eyes. Me and my sensitivity. When I said that, he stopped and cupped my face.

"Pardon me." Kissed my forehead. "Now, you have to come with me. Is that okay? Do you trust me?" He whispered kissing me lightly on the lips. As if hypnotized I nodded.

"I need to lock the house." Warned.

"Fast." He said.

I closed the windows in my bedroom and the rest of the house, turned off the lights, and walked back to Julian who was standing near the living room. He opened the door for me and we left.

"Can you put it in your pocket for me?" I asked after locking the door, he took the key and put it in his pocket.

The sky was already dark and the weather cold, I felt the wind on my face and I shivered with cold. Julian took my hand and we walked to the street behind my house, it was an almost deserted street and there weren't many residents, his car was parked there. He opened the door for me and I walked in, I was very confused but I trusted him. Then he would have to answer my questions, or my name wasn't Eloíse Espinoza.

"Call your grandma." He handed me the phone and I dialed the number already known to me without protest.

"She's not answering. I'll send a message." I spoke. I grabbed my cell phone and dialed a message.

"Hey. I'm going to João's house, he came to pick me up. I'm going to sleep there tonight." I wrote in the message and sent it to my grandmother. Then I would have to confirm my version with João.

"If my grandma asks or quotes or anything like that, I slept over at your place today. You came to pick me up from my house." I typed and turned off my cell phone so as not to explain further to anyone.

I started to play with my hands as Julian drove to who knows where. Whether he was crazy or not, I was much worse for going anywhere with him without even protesting, the problem was that my desire to be near him was almost unbearable, I was obsessed with him and needed to know more about him, I really wanted him to open up to me and I could, and my strategy was that, to be myself and manage to gain Julian's trust with the patience and calm he didn't seem to be used to.

"Don't bite your lips like that." He said looking at me sideways.

"I'm nervous. Where are we going Julian? Who called you to leave you in that state? I deserve to know, I got in the car with you twice knowing nothing about you because I trust you, no matter what they say, whatever What matters to me is what I saw when I looked into your eyes." I spoke sincerely.

"Curious young lady... If you insist." He gave a half smile and accelerated the car. "I'll tell you, I just don't know if after you find out you'll want to stay close to me like this, and I'll have to understand. Just don't complain when I'm the one who doesn't want to be away from you. I'm the one who can't let you go." he said and I felt a wave of anguish in my chest.
