TWO

Kamilla Lopez

Lying on the couch I struggled to leave my eyes open, since I arrived from work I just took a shower and lay on the couch, drop the book on the floor, get up and face the clock hanging on the wall, it was 8 pm, sighed grateful, I have enough time to sleep until tomorrow.

I decide to go to the room, but before I got there I hear knocks on the door, I approach her and hear murmurs outside, when I open I come across Bianca accompanied by two friends I already knew.

— Wow, what happened to you? — he asked when he saw my state of sleep.

— I just woke up, what are you doing here?

— I came to visit, I brought company.

— Bianca, it’s late. — I speak sleepily.

— It’s still eight at night.

Along with the boys she enters and approaches the couch, see them draw cards and start playing, watched that scene unwilling to participate, anxiously expected her to leave and take them along, did not want to be rude to them, know she thinks I’m a lonely person, That’s why he insists that I go out more often and get a boyfriend.

— Come play Kami, don’t know what you’re missing

— I don’t know how to play that.

— Come here, I’ll teach you. — the boy who was accompanying you offered.

— I’m right here, thank you.

— Come. Don’t be shy. — he insisted.

I sighed and approached them, Diego began to explain to me the way I should play the cards, in a short time I could understand the sequence of the game, I was so entertained that the hours went by, we ordered food and continued to play.

— How about we make the game more interesting? — Caio who was on Bianca’s side suggested.

— More interesting?

— Yeah, look. We could bet.

— I’m out, I’m not foolish to place bets. — said Bianca.

— It doesn’t have to be money. — He kept rolling his eyes.

— We could bet by taking off some clothing.

— I think that’s not a good idea… — Bianca protested.

— I agree. — I supported his words.

— And why not? We’re all friends.

— I think you better go. — I got up off the floor.

— If you do not want to bet, do not bet. — said Diego.

— Bianca, did you see the time? We work early tomorrow.

— She’s right. — Bianca also got up. — Let’s go.

As soon as they passed the door I locked and went to the room, I was exhausted, and my only desire was to throw myself on the bed. I went to the bathroom and got rid of the clothes, went into the shower under the shower and let the warm water wash my body and carry the energies I lost during the day. I returned to the room wrapped in a towel, approached the wardrobe and put on a flannel sweater, loosened my hair and threw myself on the mattress.

The next morning I was expecting Bianca in front of the house, today she would give me a ride to work. I slept well tonight, my energies were recovered, however, as soon as her car stopped in front of me and looked at her face, I saw huge dark circles showing that she had not slept well.

— Good morning, Bianca. — Greeting as soon as I got in the vehicle.

— Good morning, Kami. — she yawns.

— Didn’t you sleep well last night?

— Remind me not to go out at night anymore, please.

— If you listened to me more often, I might not get a bad night’s sleep.

— As always, right, don’t you get tired of being perfect?

— No.

— I get it. But anyway. Diego’s interested in you.

— I know, he’s already proposed to me.

— And what did you say?

— I said I considered him a friend.

— You should know him better, he’s very handsome.

— Caio is an idiot, see what he wanted to do?

— He didn’t mean it, he just joked.

— You didn’t give me that impression.

— Are you suspicious anyway?

— I’m not suspicious, I just don’t trust people blindly.

After going through the traffic we arrived at the workplace, we went directly to the huge diner. It was exactly 8 am, there was already a good amount of people around the arena. As we walked through the crowd, I felt a strange and distressed burning all over my body, stopped walking and looked around, in fact I did not know what I was looking for.

— Kami! — Bianca calls me.

I walk back, deposed to store our belongings, we started our work. Today I was responsible for serving customers outside the diner, in the food court, I answered and took their requests always with a smile on his face.

— Arena is very busy today. — Bianca spoke.

— I noticed.

— That’s because a businessman is out with his son.

— Entrepreneur?

— Yes, so it’s very busy.

— We thank him.

A few hours later the game had already ended, the number of customers doubled at that moment, I counted the hours so that my file ended and I could leave. After meeting the last customer, a group of men dressed in suits and sunglasses approached the food court, appeared to be security guards.

In the middle of it there was a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes, his expression was terribly intimidating, he was bigger than the security guards themselves, it seemed that he who was protecting them. That man exudes pure testosterone, an air of arrogance and power, he was very attractive.

The security guards moved away and stayed at short distances, the extremely beautiful man averted his eyes to me, for a moment held his breath, that intimidating look remained staring at him, could not deflect.

— Girl.

I hear a sweet low voice calling me, I looked down, a little boy stood before me, he is so small and so beautiful.

— Hello, little man. — Smile at him.

— I want to order.

— Ah! Perfectly… What you see…

— Chocolate ice cream!

With the order noted in my mind, I walked for the other employee to prepare. With the ice cream in my hands I turned around and realized that the child had approached that man, they were sharing the same table, I felt intimidated to see that I will have to approach, I can not send another employee to go in my place, or the boss will not like it at all.

I startled that feeling and approached the table, as soon as I handed him his huge chocolate ice cream, I said:

— Here you go, have a nice snack.

As soon as I turned my back to go back to work, I heard the child order:

— Sit down!

I was surprised by the child’s attitude, then I deduced that he is a spoiled boy, I turned to him and spoke with a small smile.

— I can’t my angel, I’m on work time.

— Sit down!

I hear the thick voice charged with authority and danger, I turned and came across the gray blue eyes and a serious expression, for a moment my legs were wobbly. One of the security guards approached me and placed a chair and forced me to sit, heavens, where did I go?
