DESTINED FOR YOU

Chapter 13: False illusion

I stayed silent because it's the best, I already feel very nervous, the atmosphere here is tense, there is an abyss between us.

-Where are we going? I asked when I saw that we had changed paths, but he didn't answer.

His behavior is strange, it reminds me of how enigmatic he sometimes is, yet I want to know and I insist with the question. Then the sound of an incoming call interrupts. It's old Rosales, I didn't want to answer because he's probably going to try to harm my night, I'm not going to allow it and I cut off the call.

Gabriel looks at me out of the corner of his eye without commenting, after twenty minutes in an uncomfortable silence, he stopped the truck.

-Where are we? Why have you brought me here?

-I warned you...

-I don't understand.

-Get out of the car and you will understand.

-What does this mean? I don't understand.

-Your new job is a friend's bar. Need a waitress, they will pay you well.

-You got me a job, I looked at her confused.

-Yes, tomorrow you can start. I can understand that you need a job, now you have no excuse, you have to give up the supermarket and my grandmother's kitchen.

Now that you've made it clear that we don't know each other, everything will be fine.

I was speechless, of course I was upset by what he has done, he may be very pretty on the outside, but he acts like an i***t.

-I'm not going to resign, you can't say where I should work.

-Of course you will resign or I will see to it that you are fired for cause. If you don't want to take advantage of this opportunity, I will tell my friend to get someone more qualified.

-But how cruel you are... Why do you do this.

-You caused this, I asked you kindly to stay away from me and you haven't listened. Stop imagining a romantic story that will never happen. I sent your new boss's number to your phone, contact him.

My eyes watered when I heard him, that he rejected me was no surprise to me. I am not the most beautiful, to the world I am practically invisible. I don't know why I feel terrible, I don't want him to kick me out of his life...

I took a breath, hiding with great effort that this did not affect me.

-I'll tell you one thing. I don't need someone to make decisions for me, I don't want this job. I won't give up until I find something better on my own, I don't want anything from you.

When I finished saying that I looked around so I could get out of here. I took my cell phone so I could find a bus stop.

-Where are you going? He asked me, but I'm not interested in answering him.

Fortunately, someone interrupted him and that distracted him, I took advantage and began to speed up my pace.

I arrived at a bus stop, while I wait I can't help but hold back my tears, I felt worthless next to him.

His sky-colored eyes looked at me sweetly but every word that came out of his mouth only hurt my fragile heart. I know that I am the only one to blame for feeling this way, I had created false hopes for myself and I even began to create a world in which only the two of us existed as a girl, but the reality was always different. Gabriel doesn't even want to see me.

Fortunately, the bus didn't take long. It was already late, and I see a threatening message from Mr. Rosales.

The only thing I was missing!

“You asked for it,” the message said.

I don't know what he's referring to, but I don't feel like arguing with him.

.....

I'm so upset. It took me two hours on public transport due to the transfer, and with Gabriel it only took me half an hour by car.

I missed going out with Ashley and the boys because I was with Gabriel, who was responsible for ruining my night.

I got to my apartment and...

What's going on here? I said, seeing all my things outside, I ran to the door and tried to open it with my key and I couldn't. The first thing I did was call the i***t owner.

I can't believe he is such a heartless man to do this to me. I was forcing the door, I swear that with the anger I have I am capable of breaking it down.

I pushed hard and tried to force it with some tools but I couldn't open it. I sat on top of one of my boxes and the tears began to flow.

I tried to contact Mr. Rosales but he did not answer me. I don't know what I'll do now, I feel very tired, I'm hungry and I need to relieve myself.

I have no choice but to go to my best friend Ashley. Her phone took her directly to the message box. I ask one of the girls if they are still with her and unfortunately they are not. They say that they were talking very romantically with Bruno and then they left alone. She invited me to go to the coast with them because there was someone who really wanted to see me.

I really have a matter to attend to, I didn't talk about my situation, I just told him that I didn't feel well to go out.

If Ashley is next to Bruno it means that going towards the house will not be a good idea. Actually, I can't leave and leave my things on the street.

This is one of the disadvantages of living alone.

Curse! This will not stay as it is.

Curse! This will not stay as it is.

I check one of the boxes looking for a coat for tonight, I can't believe I'm going through this. I have never been late with any payment, this is unfair. The worst of all is that I can't claim anything because a contract never existed.

I hear a motorcycle stop, I close my eyes hoping it's not Gabriel.
