Elena tried to do not yawn as the guest cheerfully entered to her office. She was of course in her middle ages, her outfit seemed to be simple and classical of the 50s. She smiled imaging her girlfriend trying to not to cringe at the old times outfits, she always was the most diva and fashionable of the relationship. Thinking more of her kind of lovely babe, gave her some sort of energy.
"Oh my," The elder said. She was genuinely surprised by Elena's young appearance, but her real age said otherwise. " You're younger than I thought."
"It's pretty common for people to be surprised," Elena said smiling. "I'm actually 26 years old. I know I look like a 16 or 17-year-old." The woman smiled back, she didn't really mind her age.
"For one moment I thought you were 16." She chuckled then sighed. "Younger men than you clearly flirt with you."
"Certainly." Elena's cheek went slightly red by a little embarrassment of the awkward conversation. "But I always let them know that I'm already taken."
"Who is the unfortunate boy?"
She thought she had a boyfriend. Elena and Shuriki agree to keep their relationship with her family and close friends, they knew that Shuriki was only 4 years older than her little girlfriend (She was taller than Elena). Nobody outside their circle knew they were dating, it was to keep both images of themselves and Elena's company and prevent a misunderstanding with the police and blame Shuriki for something she didn't even have blame on. Normally Elena would say that she was a lesbian, her girlfriend was bisexual, to the younger men, they always apologized and never talk to her again. No elder rather than her abuelos asked her about her partner. She didn't want to ruin the deal if happens that the friendly looking lady was homophobic.
"Oh. Umm" She tried to come up with an excuse before the lady in front of her realized her mistake, she seemed to be embarrassed.
"Oh." She facepalmed. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know you have a girlfriend. My apologies, I shouldn't already suppose that you have a boyfriend. I'm sorry about that awkward conversation. I always get to know a little better my future business dealers."
"Its okay" She smiled as she logged in her computer ready to start an agreement before freezing after she saw two familiar figures.
"Elena, your girl-" Her cousin suddenly stop after she saw the elder woman who smiled at him and the lady behind him. "Emm, I mean your friend." Her girlfriend facepalmed at the situation. Elena covered herself in embarrassment. "I better go. "
"Please do." She groaned before looking at her Shuriki. Then she stood up and smiled at her future trade partner. "Could you give us a minute ?" She nodded. Elena dragged Shuriki into a more private place. "You know you can't enter when I'm in business deals."
"It was Esteban who open the door." She rolled her eyes before handing her a paper bag. "I bring your lunch, Ms. Grumpy. You ask me to buy you some coke and a chicken and meat sandwich, remember?"
"Of course I do." She said before sighing. "Couldn't you just give it to my Abuela or leave it with the secretary?"
"Luisa and Francisco were out. The secretary had to left early, so they got a younger child who was just on her first day of work." She crossed her arms. "She told me to go to the elevator, didn't bother to call, and I met up Esteban at the front door and he opens it before realizing there was someone in there. Happy?"
"Not exactly." She then embraced her before sharing a little kiss. "We were having some little struggles with the new employers. I will try to get out earlier from work as possible and spend the night at your apartment so we can share a just only our day tomorrow. Ok?"
"Okay." They shared another little kiss. "I have to go, love you."
"Love you more," Elena said before returning to her office and return to her deal. The lady smiled at her.
"Was she your girlfriend?" She asked Elena blushed a little.
"Yes, she was just giving me my lunch." Elena smiled "She has lunch earlier than so she usually buys me something. Shall we start?"
"Of course, dear" She smiled.
Her business deal ended up being a success. Luckily they finish the agreement at a good time and Elena was able to get all her work done. She didn't bother to call Shuriki back and tell her that she was going to her apartment as she told her she would do. She wanted to surprise her and decided to use the key under the gargoyle in the front door. Nobody dared to touch the thing rather than its owner and Elena herself. Elena entered and found her girlfriend doing work, as usual, she was listening to music so she didn't notice the obvious intruder.
"What are you doing?"She embraced and kissed her cheek after removing her headphone.
"Work, dear." She said she was wearing her glasses. Elena closed the computer and place it aside, then she snuggled next to her. Shuriki caressed her. "You're the only person who knows where my second key is. I was not surprised at all."
"I know." She said looking at her. "Do you want to cook something together or do you want to order pizza?"
"Every time you're near me I always ended up breaking a little my diet." She said Elena chuckled a little. "Can we order some Chinese food?"
"Sure," Elena said before taking out some old movies "You hate the old times and you still watching 80s movies?"
"They are better than today's movies." She simply said sitting as they check together. "I still own my Looney Tunes and Animaniacs collection, if you are interested."
"Alright." She smiled grabbing a season and place it in the old VHS player. "I'm going to prepare the spot."
"I'll order the food"
