Obsessive Passion

Chapter twenty six

Monday.

"It's nothing like that you're thinking."

"What do you think I'm thinking?"

"I'll get you, and ... kiss you without explaining anything to you." Or that I and this girl have something.

She laughed false.

- Incredible. Amazing how you know things Justin.

"Look, I swear I have nothing with her. He said sincerely in the look.

- Serious? She still doubted. - It's her?

"Well ... she wanted to. He blinked. "She wanted to be my girlfriend."

"Did she ask you in courtship?" - she laughed. - How ridiculous.

"Well ... I did not accept it of course.

"All right, Justin. You do not have to give satisfactions of your life for me. She whispered.

- Yes I have. You're right, I should not have gone. I should have stayed with you.

"I did not tell you to stay.

"I did not accept to date her because I just want to be with you." With no one else.

- I believe in you Justin. But if we discuss both being friends so much. Imagine how fighting if we were boyfriends?

They looked at each other for a second. There was nothing else to say. She had said everything.

She entered the room, and Justin did not follow her.

Her cell phone rang. It was an unknown number.

- Hey?

- Hello. Remember me, Gata?

- Excuse me. - she laughed.

- No problem. It's Jay. Is it now reminded?

- Yes sure. Are you all right?

- I'm great. And you're better?

- I am. Thanks.

"Good, why I wanted to invite you to go to a nightclub on Wednesday." It will be cool, I promise.

- On Wednesday?

- Yeah. You said that on Wednesday you'd be better off.

- Of course. With Justin, Cris and the ...

- Nicolle? She goes. But Cris is in London, he will not be able to go with us. And you can talk to Justin?

- Yes OK. I'm in.

- That's good. See you Wednesday then?

- It's ok.

***

- Who was? Justin wanted to know.

- On the cellphone? It was his friend ... Jay.

"Jay?" He narrowed his eyes. - What did he want?

He called me out. On Wednesday.

- You accepted?

- Yeah. Do you have anything against?

- No. Nothing. You know if you take care.

- I know that. - she smiled. "But he wants you and Nicolle will go too."

"Did he say Nicolle goes?" Justin smiled.

- Yeah. Why did you get so happy suddenly? She frowned.

"Because I'll be close to you."

"I'll pretend I believe it." She smiled.

"I'm going down to dinner, are you coming?"

- Yea.

The two have dinner together normally like two good friends. Later, they slept together, but far from each other.

Tuesday.

"Good thing you woke up."

She was drinking coffee with milk, while checking the emails on the laptop, when Justin got out of bed.

- Good Morning. He was stretching.

- Good Morning.

- Because?

"Your cell phone was reminding you that you have a commitment, it touches every two minutes.

- Serious? He ran beside the bed and picked up his cell phone, which was ringing.

- Yeah. Are you going to ... leave again?

"Look," he ran into the bathroom, talking loudly at her to hear. "I promise it's the last time I leave." I need to ... talk to the scooter.

- With the scooter? But is not he in Spain?

- He was. But he's no longer ... He's coming. Please, I swear I'll be back later.

- No. She said, Cançado. "Please do not swear."

Justin was silent a few minutes, and then left the bathroom and came toward her.

- Give me a hug.

He hugged her. Then he kissed her two cheeks, and finally in his mouth.

"I promise I'll be back to take you to the doctor."

- Do not worry about it. I can go alone.

He looked at her in the eyes. He was in a hurry.

- I love you.

After saying these three words, he entered the closet.

After lunch, Leticia was writing a long e-mail to her mother, and Justin's cell phone began to touch the bed.

She found it strange he had forgotten his cell phone, but he decided to answer.

- Hello?

- Justin, there was a setback and I will arrive in Atlanta on Friday.

The voice that came from the other side was very hurried. It was the scooter, but he did not realize that it was not Justin who spoke.

Hi Scooter. It's not Justin. It's Leticia, his friend.

- What?! Ah! He told me about you. But I want to talk to Justin.

- He left.

"And left your cell phone?"

- Yeah. I know it's strange, he never leaves the cell phone ...

"Can you give him a message for him, please?"

- Of course.

"Say I'll arrive on Friday."

- Of course. On Friday? I thought you were coming today. Justin has no meeting, interview, or photos for today?

"I did not tell him anything today. Because?

- Is nothing. I'll tell him when he arrives.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome. Have a great day.

- Equally.

***

She was imagining an explanation for Justin to lie so much. And that was making her worried and sad.

"It's almost time for me to go to the doctor." And Justin has not yet arrived.

She checked the cell phone clock for the tenth time. I was feeling A on a lounge on the pool in the company of JAC.

"Did he go to another interview?" He said, with a wry smile on his face.

- No. He lied to me. He said he was going to find the scooter. But the scooter called and said that it will only arrive from Madrid on Friday and that did not score anything for Justin today.

- UAL! That's ... Jac looked at her, and then stopped smiling. "It may be that the scooter has forgotten something."

- This is not true. Scooter is Justin's human agenda. He does nothing without the scooter to know.

"I do not understand how Justin has the courage to lie to a girl as beautiful as you.

She smiled.

- Thank you Jac. But I think that's why he lies to me. She hugged himself, because it was very cold. "He does not have to do this ... I would understand. It's easy, he did not need to lie if he knew. She took a deep breath, and looked at the pool water. "I do not know if I want to be a man's girlfriend that lie to me."

"Did he already order you?"

- Yeah. He wants the answer on Wednesday.

"And ... do you already know an answer?"

"Before I did not know. But the way things are happening ... I think I already know my answer.

Jac approached her, and gave a strong embrace. Cozy. And affectionate.

"Go up and put on a coat, which I'll take you to the doctor.

***

After the trip to the doctor with the JAC, the two passed in a snack bar and asked burger, fries, and soda to eat.

And later, they returned to Justin's house.

"I'm feeling so good, now that I'm not wearing that business on the arm anymore.

- I'm happy for you. Jac said. "But the care have not yet finished, remember everything the doctor said.

- Of course sir. She joked, and fell into laughter. - And thank you for accompanying me, Jac.

"You know I'm going to Japan walking to see you well." Do not know? - He smiled.

She hugged Jac, and then a kiss on his face. He returned with a kiss on his forehead.

"I'm going to come in now, because Justin and Justin are going to have a little conversation ... boring.

- Of course. Can go. Good luck, and ... anything, just call me.

- I know that. Stay calm.

She walked to the entrance door of Justin's house, stopping just to blow a kiss to the JAC. Who returned, blowing a kiss back.
