Unintentional Attraction

"Watch them he said." I mumbled to myself as I reached the fence of the school. Indeed the little children had run out and went to get some food at the tiny cafeteria building set at the far left of the open space, I spotted little Abella with her vibrant pink lunch pail making her way to an empty bench that was given shade by a large tree. Another group of little girls came to sit next her and they all seemed to be conversing.
I continued to do my rounds around the school until another bell wrung signaling the children that recess was over. Good thing there was only an hour left, the sun was already high in the sky and burning me now.
I rested my head on the bars of the fence and looked inside the little school. It was a small but private, only a selective group of kids went, kids whose parents were also important.
I stood there patiently, aware of the perimeter and scanning the area for the hour that remained.
About time! I grew antsy just walking around the school and waiting for the bell to ring. The children exited there room in an orderly line first it was the smaller children, Abella's class which was one of three Kindergarten classes; the little ones were always released first.
She immediately spotted me and waved, I waved back and walked over to the main gate, it was crowded now with a lot of mothers, all who seemed to be dressed for an elegant outing, I was sporting a white v-neck with semi-long sleeves, biker gloves and dark jeans.
The keeper opened the door and the kids came rushing out with smiles. Some stopped to buy ice cream or candy from sellers with karts.
Abella came rushing my way with arms wide and I crouched down to receive that hug.
"Como foi a escola? (How was school?), I asked as I let go of her and grabbed her hand.
"Foi muito divertido! Fizemos artes e ofícios e eu fiz-lhe uma coisa. (It was fun! We did arts and crafts and I made you something.)"
"Isso é ótimo, mostre-me quando chegarmos em casa. (That's great, show it to me when we get home.)" We continued to walk over to the car that was parked at the edge of the street, there was too much traffic at this hour so I didn't park to close around the school but that could also be a risk, I was left traumatized with what happened a week ago so I felt I could never be to careful. Abella continued to talk, I only paid half attention I was too busy trying to see and hear what was going on around us.
We reached the car after a few strides, I opened the back door for Abella strapped her in and closed her door then I got in and we drove away avoiding the traffic behind us.
After about 20 minute drive we reached the estate, I punched in my code at the dial and the gates guarding the estate opened. I was grateful that nothing of consequence happened today.
I helped Abella out of the car and took her backpack as Abilio opened the door for her and greeted her. Abella ran inside, Abilio had the door still open for me.
"Everything in order Ms. Blackwell?" He asked.
"Yes everything's just fine."
"Good, welcome back then, oh Mr. Navarra wishes to speak with you he is in his office." He said closing the door and heading towards the kitchen.
"Alright," I said heading back up the stairs. I felt slightly uneasy as I reached the final stair and walked up to the office. I knocked on the door softly.
"Come in." Alfonso said. I walked in and he was putting his cell phone on the table, his face was stern but then it went back to that pleasant smile he always had when I was around.
"How can I help Mr. Navarra?" I asked.
"Please sit first." I hadn't noticed I was still standing at the door so I quickly went to sit down. He was looking down at some documents; I waited patiently for him to speak again. "Right, well tonight I've been invited to an event, a couple of Brazilian scientist are receiving recognition on a discovery-"
"What kind of discovery?" I interrupted, that was a little forward and rude of me but I had to know because up until now most scientists were up to no good.
He puzzled his chin and chuckled as he spoke, "now that you mention it I'm not quite sure, scientific terms have always baffled me." He continued to chuckle.
"Oh, so how do I fit in all this?" I asked, slight irritation moving in on me.
"Don't worry I was getting to that – Gregorio has a couple of errands to run tonight, so I wanted you to be ready to escort myself to the event." He said a smile on his face. I don't know if it was me but the way he spoke was as if he thought he was interrupting something, as if I had to do something later tonight.
"Oh alright, but who will watch the house?" I asked suspicious, the house was usually watched by Gregorio or me because we were of course head of security.
"Gregorio will be leaving earlier than us but will be back in an hour or so – the house won't be left unprotected for so long." He looked back down at his documents. I could help but look at them also, many of them were spread out and most of them seemed to be a series of different types of medical records. "You are excused Selene." My eyes darted back up meeting the Ambassadors gaze for a moment, something dark weighed in. I got up, turned around and left.
"Eu estava esperando por você Selene. (I was waiting for you Selene.)" Abella was seated a few inches away from the door, if I would have been deeper in thought I might have tripped over her.
"Hey mocinha, qual él? (Hey kiddo, what's up?)" I said walking over to her.
She grabbed me by the hand and pulled me towards her room, when I went in it was an explosion of pink. Pink walls, pink stuffed animals, pink furniture, pink bed coverings; I simply stared. "Isto é para você. (This is for you.)" She placed a foamy with the form of Cinderella's slipper in my hand, the color was blue and it had uneven patches of different glitter on it not to mention it was still kind of sticky.
"Obrigado Abella, é muito bonita. (Thank you Abella, it's very pretty.)" I smiled.
"De nada; você pode decorar seu quarto com ele. (You're welcome; you can decorate your room with it.)"
"Certo, boa idéia. (Right, good idea.)" She smiled again and then went to sit on her bed and began to read a book. I quietly stepped out and nearly walked into Alfonso again.
"I'm sorry." I said stepping back with little effort we were really close, my back was against the door.
"No, I'm sorry. I couldn't help but over hear Abella – she's likes you."He was pleased for reasons unknown to me. We were so close once again, I felt uneasy. He wanted to say more but said nothing; the silence continued to linger on. He brought his hands up almost touching my face but dropped them.
"Be ready by five o'clock Selene." Then he was walking down stairs in a flash.
I stepped into my room closing the door and laying against it, if I didn't know any better I'd have to say that the ambassador likes me. I bit my lip in frustration and felt my teeth breach the light skin on my lip, a little blood leaked through.
So now the cat's out of the bag, this was about to get a whole lot harder - if this was the case with the Ambassador.
I think Selene couldn't have said it better, so now somethings are being revealed and things will become more interesting!
