##Chapter 10
Livia
He was taking too long... Would he not come again? I was sitting with my arms on my knees when I felt someone approaching, I looked forward and my eyes found the person that made my heart race and my body shudder.
'Frederic won't be able to go out with you.' He has class. I don't know why he promised to take you somewhere during class time. Demetrius informed me with eyes full of anger.
He was mounted on a horse, the sight of his button-down shirt parted and his hair falling wildly over his shoulders, made my body heat up.
At the same moment, I saw my father approaching us.
- Daughter? Are you still here? Good morning Demetrius .
— Good morning, Senhor Heitor . Demetrius greeted, jaw tight.
— Frederic has classes in the morning, I didn't know and he had to go, Demetrius came to tell me now. I informed him , upset.
“Demetrius doesn't have much work to do today. — my father turned to him — Can you accompany Lívia to the waterfall? She was so excited and I trust you so much.
My heart raced and my knees weakened, I felt a huge butterflies in my stomach and a twinge of happiness just thinking about the idea of being alone with him again.
But I reminded myself that he was arrogance personified and that he wasn't going to be that good.
Demetrius hesitated before answering.
“I”—he scratched his head, seeming to have a lump in his throat—“I'll take her. — didn't look happy though.
— Thanks Demetrius, have fun daughter. — my father kissed me on the forehead and went into the house.
Demetrius stared at me and I stared back.
— You don't have to bother with me, I'll tell my father that I don't want to go anymore, I know you don't really want to take me.
— Your father asked me a favor and I'm going to do that favor, stop being dramatic and let's go. - he said getting off the horse and gesturing for me to approach.
— Shall we ride a horse?
“Yeah, I'm not going to walk twenty goddamn minutes into that woods.
"Are you going to get one just for me?" I rode with my dad my second day here, but he drove the whole time. You can teach me?
“No, you could get hurt and I don't want to get in trouble.
“I won't get hurt.
- As you know? As far as I know, it came from the big city, it's very delicate and I won't risk it.
"What does being from the big city have to do with it?" Have prejudice?
— Do I need to say in all the words that big city people are used to taking it easy? The disdain in his voice wasn't lost on me.
I looked at him without understanding anything and stood still in the same place. My eyes were burning with tears that wanted to fall, but I blinked them back.
"Are you coming or not?" I don't have all day.
I was tired of this way of treating him towards me without me ever having done anything to him.
— Demetrius, it's much easier for you to say you don't want to take me, because as far as I know, you're not being forced to do this shit. Since the day I got here, you've been treating me this way, and damn if you're like that with your brother or everyone around you, I didn't do you any harm, and I'm not like those city girls. big no, despite my young age I've been through things that you would doubt if I told you. I'm not spoiled and much less used to the good life, I suffered a lot to finally be here today with my father. I came here to have a new life, better than the one I had which sucked, not to be treated with arrogance by a brute like you and I'm not going to take that anymore, you idiot. - vented .
I lifted my head and walked back into the house, swallowing back the urge to cry.
