Chapter 5

LEAH POV

We looked like statues without knowing what to say or what to do, yet our gazes said it all. A silence invaded the atmosphere until I broke the ice.

—Hello, — I said in a sweet voice.

—Hello, —he said in the same tone.

—And that's what you're doing here, — he said as he gave me a smile that makes women melt.

—I'm going to take the 7 o'clock plane to Madrid. And you didn't tell me that your flight was at 2 p.m., eh! —he said in a hoarse voice.

—It was like that, but the flight was delayed, you see me, I'm waiting to be announced, — I said while he was holding my hand to my hair and turning it over.

Every time I put my hand to my hair it's a sign of nervousness. Since I've known this man, he's made me feel very nervous and has awakened feelings in me that I've never had before.

—Ah, what bad luck, even though we may have coincided on the same flight, don't think so, — he said as he smiled again.

—Maybe, — I said in a sweet voice.

We talked for a long time. Until at last he announces my flight. I don't know if it's coincidence or fate. I couldn't believe we were going on the same flight. Many of the people on my flight had left, and there were only a few of us left who decided to intersperse them in the other flights. And my name was one of the first on the list, so we were placed on the next flight in 5 minutes.

We hurried as we both checked out, the forklifts carried the luggage to the plane. When we were looking for our seats we noticed that we had different seats. He was in seat 23 and I was two rows behind him.

As I settled into the seat I smell a very familiar perfume when I turn my head to my side I see him settling into the continuous seat to mine,— wow, at that moment he made the change I didn't notice, — I said to myself.

—Hello, — he says with a smile.

—Hello, — I said, answering him with a smile as well.

We were both very happy and I hadn't noticed and the plane had already taken off. We were talking for a while and I didn't notice when I fell asleep. When I opened my eyes I was lying on her shoulder.

—I'm sorry, I didn't realize that, — I said in a hesitant voice as I looked up and our eyes were looking up.

—No problem, it was a pleasure to carry you on my shoulder, — he said with a smile that makes me melt.

We were a few centimetres apart, we were almost about to kiss, when we heard on the loudspeaker that that we fastened our belts that we were about to land. I get up in a jiffy in my seat and adjust my belt.

When we got off the plane, we waited half an hour for our luggage to be given to us. Until we finally left the airport. I was standing at the entrance to take a taxi, when I see a Mercedez Benz Smart Roadster Gray color parking where I was impressed I do not know if it was due to the car or what was inside it.

—Let's go I'll take you, — he said with a broad smile.

I hesitated whether to ride or not, although this man does things to me that I had never felt before, the real truth is that he is a complete stranger to me.

—Come on, I'm not going to eat you, — he said in a mocking voice. —After all, you're going where I'm going, that's not true, — he said.

—It's true he's all right, if we're going to the same place because I kill myself at this time of night by a taxi, —I said to myself.

—Okay, I'll go with you, — I said while he in a jiffy got out of the car to help me with my suitcases.

—Thank you, — I said as he returned it to me with a smile on his face.

—It's a pleasure, little one, —he said in a sweet voice.

On the way I see him taking out his cell phone and typing something it looks like a message, I don't know if it's for his wife or for his girlfriend. I make a move trying to see what he was writing but it seems that he realized my intentions.

—I didn't know you were curious, — he said as he put his cell phone in his pocket.

—And I'm not, — I said in an angry voice.

—Don't worry, little girl, it was just a joke, — he said.

I focused my gaze towards the window, but my curiosity killed me inside, I wanted to know who I had written to.

—To my mother, — he said as I turned to him.

—I'm sorry, —I said in surprise, —I didn't understand what you said to me

—That it was to my mother that I wrote and I told her I'd arrived safely, — he said with a broad smile.

Silence invaded the atmosphere until his telephone began to ring. He took his free hand and connected it to his cell phone.

—Seth friend that you tell me, —he said.

I was only delighted to see him talking on the phone, delighted to see his splendid body, - Damn! I have to stop saying stupid things, - he said inside me. Again I focus my gaze towards the window until a very familiar voice calls to me,

— Leah!, — said the voice, — Fuck!, Leah wakes up I'm talking to you, —Leahhhhh!, — until it reacted and it was Sam who was talking to me.

— What, — I said abruptly.

—Until you finally react, aunt, —he said, —I've been calling you five minutes ago, where your head was, — he said.

—Thinking, what's going on, —-I said very serious

—I hope he was thinking of me, — he said in a mocking voice,

—You think you're so funny, who do you think you are? The master of the Universe, — I said as he lifted his shoulders and smiled at me. —But really this asshole thought he was the master of the Universe,—I said to myself.

—Then, — he says, as long as I didn't understand what he was saying to me.

—I'm sorry, —I said as we looked at each other.

—What were you thinking, —he said in a curious voice.

—Ah, I was thinking of my sister, — I said even though it was a lie I was actually thinking of him, but I wasn't going to give him that pleasure.

—Ah, you have a sister, well, I don't have an only child, —he said,

—That's why you're so conceited, —smurfing short.

—Sorry, what are you said, — he said, —wow! What ears he has, —I said to myself.

—Nothing, — I said, —I had to call my sister, —I said while the heart seemed to be coming out of the chest.

And so that I could see that what I was saying was true, I took my mobile out of my bag, I dialed my sister's number and after two rings she took it from me and before I said anything I let her go,

— How's my favorite sister? — I said in a cheerful voice. —She'll think I'm crazy, — I said to myself.

-Leah, I'm the only sister you have, how do you feel,— she said, —Another one again, the same question, but what am I going to ask her?

—Well, everything's under control, — I said.

We talk about everything a little, her voice is sad, I know it's because of my departure. I know he would like me to be with her all the time, but he knows it's for my sake, although he doesn't stop worrying about me. She told me because I didn't stay another day, but I had to lie to her, it hurts me to do it but I had no choice, although I like to spend a few days with her, I can't with her way of overprotecting me, so I told her that I had met the guy who had spoken to her today at the University. And as always I wish me the best and mainly to take care of myself.

After hanging up with my sister, I see Sam looking at me in a strange way. He must have heard my conversation with my sister, —it can't be, but in addition I don't know because in the end we are nothing,— I said to myself. And since I can't keep quiet, I ask him,

— Is something wrong? — I said to him while he was just looking at me.

— Do you have a boyfriend, — he said in a serious voice.

— Wow! he believed it, — I said inside myself, but I don't know why I felt the need to make it clear that it wasn't true that I just said it so my sister would leave me alone.

I could see how his gaze changed as I told him. We stayed another five minutes in silence, but I realized that this was not the way to the hospital, and I began to feel fear, — Where does this psychopath take me, — he said inside me. He notices my discomfort and tells me,

—They called me from the Hospital and told me that everyone is in a club, —she said while I was surprised, however, before I said anything else, I asked,

—And the director knows they're having a little party,— I said when I had a laugh from him, —I don't see the fun,— I said very seriously,

—Don't worry, little girl, he was the one with the idea of going to the club. And since I told you that you wouldn't let me explain, it's his birthday and he wanted to celebrate it with those closest to him, and I'm included, that makes your concern clear, — he said.

His way of calling me little was turning out to be very exciting no one had spoken to me with such tenderness, however, who is he to arrange whether or not I want to go to that little party, but as I am not to remain silent I said, —And you asked me if I wanted to go, —now his face changed completely from a wide smile to a serious gesture.

—But I thought... — he said when he cut it,

—You thought wrong, first you have to count on me, that's the way you are with all girls, —I said while he only looked at me then he looked at the front.

However, since we were completely deviated and to be honest I needed a despeje, and before I said something and maybe I regret this decision I told him,

—And since we're far from the hospital, let's go to that little party, — I said while I could see that again his face changed completely,

—Ah, another thing if I go is because I want to, not because you imposed it on me we're clear, — I said while he was settling.

When we got to the club, everyone stared at us, and I got a chill. I don't understand why the astonishment, looks like they saw Jamie Dornan himself, or one of those famous Hollywood actors. I see Sam walking away and someone is going to say hello as I head towards the bar. I asked the bartender to give me an orange juice as I can not drink and the truth is that I was thirsty. I feel someone sitting next to me. I look at her with the corner of my eye, I see her looking at me from top to bottom, —Ostra with this aunt, perhaps —I've earned an admirer, —said inside me.

—And when I was going to tell her a few things, the girl says to me, "You were the one who came with Dr. Sam, — she said as she told the bartender to bring her a whiskey.

—And she doesn't care who comes with her, — I said to myself. And when I thought to say to you that you care, I swallowed my tongue and I better said, —Yes, —with a sweet voice but inside was that it did not fit on the stool.

I feel that the woman scans me again, when I feel that another one is approaching and says something to her ear, and again I am scanned from the head to the feet, - Ostras with this aunt, what happens to her perhaps she likes me, - I said to myself, I was about to scream when I see you now turn your head towards Sam, and it was at that moment that I fell. All this is because of him, I was in love with him, but I don't understand and what I have to do with it. I don't have and I don't think I'll have anything to do with him. Although every time I'm near him I get nervous and not to mention every time his hand touches mine an electric current flows in my body and I think he must have felt it too.

I see him talking to someone on his cell phone, -it will be his girlfriend or worse, his wife, -I said to myself. When the call ends, he keeps the mobile in his pocket and his gaze finds mine. But what am I saying," I said to myself when I saw him walking here.

—Good evening, ladies, — he says in a sweet voice as he stands beside me.

—Good evening Dr. Sam, —They said the two in unison.

—Well, somebody give him a handkerchief, please, he's drooling, — I said to myself, as he smiled. Then he turns around and sees me drinking juice and saying nothing, he goes up to the bar and asks for the same thing as me, and then he looks at me with my back to the magpies. I see that the one who was sitting takes the one who was next to her and leaves. I sighed inside myself as I watched as Sam took a sip of his juice.

— May I know why you don't drink, — I said as he stared at me. —But I'll be silly. I don't care if I drink or not, — I said to myself.

—I'm doing it, — he said with a smile, —You know what I mean, don't play dumb, you don't even have a hair of it, — I said while I took another sip of his juice.

—Because I have to drive then satisfied, —she said. Of course I'm a fool, he's got to drive, and he can't go around drinking.

I feel like someone is bumping into me and throwing me to the ground, but before I get to the ground Sam grabs me and we're both lying on the ground. I was on top of him our glances crossed and an electric current flowed again, when I feel one of his hands grabbing me by the nape of my neck and bringing me closer to his face. My heart was beating at a thousand an hour and I feel our breaths speeding up. While I feel Carlos Vive's music with Sebastian Yatra and the song let me steal a kiss from you. — Wow! What a tension in the atmosphere, — I said inside myself. My mouth and yours were a few centimeters away and so on until...
