chapter 23

 

A noise outside the room wakes me up, I furrow my forehead trying to locate myself and discover that it is two in the morning. one of his shirts over my body. I find Sofia, dragging her bags out of the room.

 

He smiled to myself, finally decided to leave.

 

"you leave?

 

I say leaning against the door frame and she looks at me before answering

 

“Yes, I have come to the conclusion that the sooner I leave, the sooner I will have it again.

 

Frusco sleep bothers but she smiles petulantly

 

"Honey, you're nothing I need to worry about, you're just a hot pussy that Samuel is fucking" he looks at me with pity "with Samuel everything has an expiration date, you're just his new toy" shrugs “He's going to fuck you and then he's going to throw you aside like he does all of them.

 

“with me it is different

 

"Yes different" he laughs "I'm sure I'll buy you a car at Motor Evolution, he should have taken you to eat at Fishelly like everyone else

 

My heart squeezes at the clear knowledge in his words. I am not able to deny it and she knows it

 

"You're a whim honey, a twenty-two-year-old girl with a thirty-four-year-old man." Her mouth twists into a sneer. naive heart of yours and see him carry a new girl on his arm

 

I open my mouth but I am not able to say anything, she opens the door and gives me her last smile

 

“I just have to hope he gets fed up with you and all of your kind. He is going to return to the only thing that has always been constant in his life "his face is of absolute sufficiency" to me...

 

"accept once and for all that he doesn't love you

I try to sound strong but she just laughs

 

"Honey, when you want to settle down I'll be there" he takes his bag while looking at me arrogant "I'm clearly a better option than you.

 

I wake up at quarter past six my eyes itch and I'd be a liar if I said I slept well

 

<<with Samuel everything has an expiration date>>

 

Sofia's words circle once again in my mind and I try to prepare for university without giving it more importance. I know this isn't going to last forever but the way he said it, she was pretty sure.

 

<<I just have to hope that he gets fed up with you and all of your kind>>

 

I squeeze the cup of coffee in my hand until my knuckles turn white.

 

I thought he was being different, that he was doing special things with me but no, from Sofia's words it was clear that this was his routine. I get into the shower with all these things on my head and not even the hot water can relax me.

 

He adjusted a towel in my wet hair before leaving the bathroom.

 

"good morning baby

 

Samuel's voice comes from the bed. His hair is tousled and his youthful smile contrasts with the little crow's feet in his eyes. This man is beautiful even if I don't want to accept it, I like him

 

"hello...

 

I reply with a weak smile and watch as his eyebrows draw together in front of him.

 

“Is something wrong Vanessa?

 

<<if they just told me that I am a new toy that you are going to throw away soon>>

 

"no" I answer "I'm just a little tired, I hate waking up early

 

He offers me a hand smiling

 

“Come here, I'm going to make your morning better.

 

I shake my head as I walk around to the cloakroom. He took the hanger that he left ready for me and I look at the expensive summer dress with orange prints. He took it from the hanger and when I turn to leave the closet I bump into Samuel's bare chest.

“I demand that you tell me that you have Vanessa

 

Your voice is not a suggestion or a question, it is simply an order.

 

"Nothing really happens, I'm just tired" he looks at me without letting go "my period is coming so I think that makes me a little weird...

 

Tried to justify but he just looks at me in disbelief

 

"chick...

 

"I'm fine Samuel, I just need...

 

What I need?

 

<<Walk out that door and stop having the stupid idea that he loves you>>

 

The voice of my subconscious creates a lump in my throat

 

“What do you need Vanessa?

 

space, Samuel

 

I answer and he lets me go

 

“You can ask for anything but that” he replies “you are my sugar baby and you are always supposed to be willing

 

Take it now!

 

<<in your stupid face>>

 

My subconscious screams and my stomach twists. I look at his face and sigh.

 

“You're right” my voice is weird “do you want to fuck now or can I just finish getting dressed?

 

I answer but he doesn't say a word, he turns his back on me and gets into the shower.

 

I finish putting on my dress before I leave the apartment. He takes the keys to my new car and I just leave, I don't wait for him or say a word to him.

 

The day goes by quietly, I attend my classes and even have lunch with Thalia, Samuel doesn't call me or send me a text message.

 

I look at my phone one more time and swear when my sister's number pops up on the screen, shit.

 

Hi Shia.

 

I answer without more

 

"Vanny honey" the smugness in his voice annoys me "Marck just asked me to marry him

 

"cool

 

I answer without emotion, Shia has always treated me this way, she rarely calls and when she does it's just to blame me for how well she's doing.

Marck is a commercial manager at a well-known sports brand, so that only gives him more reason to believe himself superior.

 

"I'm very happy for you, I'm sure mom will be very happy but I'm a little busy...
