Chapter 16. A Dirty Game?

Paula

 

I came home after spending a wonderful night with Dante. I can't believe that we made love. I gave myself to him, and I don't regret it. At least I did it with a person whom I like and Dante is more than that. I liked it, I loved it but I don't want to get too excited. So tomorrow, we'll clarify what happened between us. I don't want to seem desperate but I'm dying for the night to get over so that I could see him again.

I enter the apartment very slowly without making much noise, and I find Isa and Katy sleeping in the living room. I slowly approach my friend to speak to her.

"Isa, wake up," she fidgets and looks at me with her eyes half-open.

"Paula, you've already come" she wakes up sleepy.

"How about you sleep here and tomorrow we will go to the restaurant together?"

" What time is it?" she asks, rubbing her eye.

"The midnight," I answered

"Oh yeah, right, I'll sleep with Katy"

"ok come on I'll take Katy to bed"

"Yes, we were watching a movie and we fell asleep here," she said.

"Now, come on, you have to sleep"

"And my lady, do you have something to tell me?" She smiles moving both her eyebrows. I just laugh.

"Yes, I'll tell you everything tomorrow, now you have to sleep Isa"

 

"Okay, tomorrow you will tell me everything, Paula, and if I say everything means everything," I roll my eyes. I know I can’t have her off my back before she learns everything. When she gets into detective mode it's better to prepare mentally and psychologically.

Isa is like a sister to me, I adore her. I don't know what I would do without her. I kiss them both and go to my room to sleep.

I can't stop thinking about everything that happened, his kisses, his caresses, the way he made me his. It was by far the best night of my life. I smile like a fool. I feel so pathetic but it was my first time and It was as I had always imagined. I know that no one will be able to steal this moment from me.

I wake up hearing my alarm clock go off, shit! Is it morning already? I get up reluctantly feeling my body sore, my intimate parts too, as if a train had passed over me, and what a train, I cover my face ashamed, remembering everything I did yesterday with that man.

I woke Isa up to go to work. I let Kathy sleep as she doesn't go to school. I have to stop by in the afternoon to pick up her homework since she takes distance classes due to her illness. I waited for Sara to arrive before I leave with Isa. Once she showed up, I hurriedly left the apartment, so I could take the bus and get to work.

We arrived and met Marc, with very few friends, we greeted him. He just looked at me and then spoke very seriously.

"Paula, I need to talk to you," he declared and turned his back to me. Isa looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

"Now, Paula!" He yells again in a tone that I don't like. What have I done now? I just deny it and walk behind him. When we reach, he opens the door for me and gives me a pass.

 

"What's up, Marc?" I cross my arms as soon as I enter his office.

"You didn't come to work yesterday." he snaps angrily

"Um, my head hurt a lot, Marc." I sent you a message. "

"Either that or did you have so much fun last night that you couldn't stand the hangover?" He growls annoyed without taking his eyes off me.

"Excuse me?" I raised a surprised eyebrow.

"You heard me, Paula," he complains again.

"And if that's the case, you don't have to worry about it, Marc. I think I deserve a break. I always work until Sunday. You haven't given me a day off in a long time," I complain annoyed because it is like that. I work seven days a week, double shift. I work almost twenty-four hours. I deserve some time off for myself.

“Who were you with? With the jerk Iam or the womanizer Dante?” I looked at him puzzled. How does he know about Iam or Dante?

"I have already told you that I don't have to give you explanations, Marc. You are my boss and I am your employee," he slowly approaches me, puts a lock of my hair behind my ear, and caresses my cheek. I feel pretty awkward and so I just walk away from him.

"I can be more than that, Paula. You don't realize, it drives me crazy and I'm dying of jealousy knowing that you're with someone else and not with me"

"We have already discussed it a thousand times Marcos and you know it will not happen. With permission, I will work," I turn around and leave the office. God !! Why does this happen to me.Does he know about Iam, or what happened with Dante? No, there is no way I know. I shake my head and I'm going to put on my uniform.

"What happened, friend?" Isa appears.

“Nothing, as always Marc, "I replied while getting dressed.

"Back to his conquest plan?" I nod and sigh. "That man doesn't understand anymore," Isa growls while making a high ponytail of her blond hair.
