CHAPTER 2 "THE GAME LOOKS"

The dawn arose giving birth to a new day. Tibey had left the Manor from two hours to attend to some business work. Affairs that Miryea didn't know.

The woman was walking at home wearing a gown in white lace. That night she could not sleep. She and Tibey slept in separate rooms, he decided the man the day that he opened the doors of his house.

Miryea, knew that Tibey was amusing himself with other women, but was fine for her so she would not have to go to bed with him. Only the thought disgusted her.

She felt like a porcelain doll, from the glazed look, with no expression and incredibly fragile.

She crossed the hall and stood for a moment in front of the room where Jay, was resting. She instinctively touched the door handle but left her hand after a moment.

She continued the way and went into the living room.

Every morning she sat at her piano and played; This gave her a sense of freedom through music could express herself, to dream and forget to live in the golden cage.

She put her hands on the piano, gently pressed some keys emitting sweet notes.

She closed her eyes began to sing. She had a voice so melodious and gentle.

Meanwhile, Jay woke up hearing the woman. He got out of bed rested. Rocky continued to sleep without regard to his master.

He rushed to the bathroom, fresh water helped him to become fully awake. He put a pair of jeans and a clean white shirt.

He closed the door so Rocky as not to escape from the room and followed the sound of her voice.

The door was open, but he stood still did see her through a mirror.

His heart began to beat wildly, touched his chest with a sigh. He was so attracted to Miryea, but seeing it now, he knew what he was feeling was not just a physical attraction. He was in love with her.

He came in and watched. She stopped singing and playing.

"You continue. Please!," he said inviting her to continue.

The woman lowered her gaze intimidated and finished her song.

"No one had ever seen a my performance." She gave a small smile.

"I'm honored," he said, looking intently into her eyes.

"Have you ever played the piano?"

"I don't do for years now. And to be honest I have never been so good "

"Can I help you to remember if you want. Sit down next to me. " She gave him a seat next to her.

Jay put his hands on those keys by issuing a truly horrible sound. Miryea laughed.

"No please, not in this way. It must be more delicate. Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away by the melody ". Miryea put her fingers over those of Jay "It's like when you touch a woman, you shouldn't be so brutal."

The embarrassment pervaded their looks. Miryea removed her hands from Jay lying them on her legs.

"Would you care to take a ride on the beach?" Jay said with a gentle voice.

"Yes" Miryea answers without hesitation.

The woman went to her room. She removed her nightgown and wore a dress with fancy flowers.

"I'm ready". Her look was different. She seemed to be happy.

"Let's go". Jay made her a big smile.

They walked along the beach as the waves gently caressing the sand.

"I was thinking about moving for a while in that house over there. I contacted the owner and maybe we can find a deal "

" You are not comfortable with us?"

"No, of course not. Tibey has been kind enough to host me and Rocky but we need to have our freedom. "

"I can understand that," replied sadly Miryea.

"Be quiet. We'll see. "Jay noticed her face and tried to reassure her.

"Can I be honest?"

"You must!"

"After what you told me is difficult for me to stand next to Tibey. Pretending to be happy for I knowing what he did to your family "

"Jay, shouldn't feel sorry for me. Life here is very complicated, if you want to survive you have to accept some decisions even if you are imposed "

"Could you love him?"

"No. I don't think, "she replied firmly and added," Have you ever really loved? How do you felt? "

"It's a feeling you can't describe. This can only be heard here, "he puts his hand to her heart.

"It must be nice," she sighed Miryea.

Jay gave a small smile.

"I was able to see my parents live this love. My father brought a flower every morning to my mother and told her that nothing, not even that flower could be more beautiful than her. I think everyone should be loved like that. "

She felt a deep melancholy pervaderle her chest, took a deep breath.

"Where Are They Now? He asked curiously Jay.

Miryea pointed a finger on the sky "My mother was sick for many years now and my father shortly after her death, had a heart attack."

"I'm so sorry". Jay noticed her sad look that he saw in their first met.

Rocky at some point jumped up and put it paws on the legs of Miryea and she falling on the sand.

The woman laughed. "Rock! Damn! " Jay scolded stretching out a hand to help her get up.

She clean up the dress with her hand and said wryly, "It's jealous. You giving too much attention to me. "

Jay shook his head, laughing heartily.

"Maybe it's better to go home," she said Miryea looking at her watch.

They returned from the beach. Rocky came into the bedroom all dirty. " Oh sorry. Rocky left it footprints in the room".

"Don'tworry. It's not that serious. " Miryea turned, touched the door handle, but let her go. She looked at Jay with happy eyes "I had fun." The eyes became lucid, she looked down the floor, she wanted to avoid being seen in that state of vulnerability. She felt terribly embarrassed.

Jay touched her face lifting her chin, caressed her. Their eyes were so intense, eager for each other. Jay put his hand on her neck, pulled her to himself and they let themselves go to a passionate kiss.

"Miryea, Miryea!"

They stopped kissing.

"Oh .. no Tibey is back," said the frightened woman. "I have to go". She left hurriedly the room and ran at downstairs " You are here finally!!" gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Sorry, I was resting. Today I have a terrible headache "

"This evening we will have dinner guests," said the man. He looked up and saw Jay up the stairs "Hey Cohran, you'll be one of us?".

Mireya turned, the two exchanged a look.

"How could I refuse an invitation" answers, smiling.

Jay returned to his room. He closed the door and rubbed his hands over his face.

"My friend, I'm hunting in a big trouble," he said stroking Rocky.
