Chapter 4 4

As Luz leaves the dining room with Charlize, Gerard grabs Dan’s tie and throws him into the office.

Was that proof enough for you? -she tells him entering with him and closing the door-

-Hey, how jealous… you should be proud of her, I’m sure that man who stole her heart is you.

-Do you believe? -he asks hopefully-

-But he practically yelled at me to stay with Charlize to see what happened to you – Gerard sits smilinglike a silly boy and Dan laughs -. That girl is special, she is not moved by the physical or the material, sheis authentic, man. I would love to replace one like this.

– Get in line for decent singles, stop being so messy with your life.

-Hey, what’s the point of eating pancakes with…?

-Don’t say it, please – he interrupts Dan before he says the full name, because he feels that just hearingit again, he will run away -. I have no idea, I just know that they looked appetizing, my mouth waswatering to have them in front of me.

– Aren’t you pregnant? – Dan’s mockery makes him frown –

-You will not believe that my crime had consequences…

– Or maybe you connected so much with Luz that you are feeling the symptoms of her pregnancy – hisfriend tells him to reassure him –

Do you believe in those things?

-I don’t know, I would have to get someone pregnant to replace out… – and his memory takes him back sixyears, when he was going to be a father and that unfortunate woman took away the opportunity to havea child to take care of – I think I’ll go You need to rest and I need to sleep.

-Rest, is the only thing I get since that night, I have not been able to sleep a single full night.

-I promise I’ll help you, my friend, just be patient.

-I hope the truth doesn’t come when you’re happiest.

Dan looks at his friend and feels that he is willing to do many things for him, that is why he wants tocontinue with the drug distribution investigation, because that way they will be able to show the girl that itwas not intentional, besides that, in a way twisted, the best thing that could happen is that it was Gerardand no other.

The two walk to the entrance and say goodbye, Gerard takes the opportunity to ask George if Darcy leftthe house.

-Yes sir. If I may add… – Gerard nods and the man continues -. He was ranting against everyone,including Miss Luz.

– She asked for it. By the way, about Luz… I want you to accompany her to all the places, in a couple ofweeks I will go back to work and she will have things to do, so I don’t want to be left alone – she looks atthe night sky and smiles at the thought in which I could invite Luz to walk in the garden –

“She’s pregnant, George, and we have to take care of her, because we don’t know who the father of thatbaby is or if it will upset her.

-Very well sir, I’ll talk to Evangeline so she can keep an eye on her, for now, is the surprise for PrincessCharlize still standing? – Gerard smiles at the way they call his daughter and feels that at least the othersdid pay him that attention that he didn’t-

-Yes, in fact… you know, we are going to advance it. Since Luz is better and with us, we are going to goon a trip tomorrow.

-Muy bien señor, haré todos los preparativos.

-Gracias George… por todo.

Para George, Gerard es solo un hombre joven que ha perdido mucho, pero que desde que la chica llegóa casa, está recuperando todo aquello que dejo ir por el duelo.

-Es un gusto, señor… es bueno verlo feliz otra vez.

Gerard entra a la casa y sube las escaleras para ir a ver como van sus mujeres. Al entrar, la escena lodeja petrificado de la emoción.

Luz se ha quedado dormida con el cuento en la mano y rodeando a Charlize con el otro brazo, supequeña tiene la manito en el vientre de Luz y se le hace la escena más tierna del mundo. .

Se acerca a la chica, con las ganas de dejarla dormir allí, pero está en una mala posición y le preocupaque luego le duela todo.

-Luz… – le susurra para no despertar a Charlize -.

–Mmm…

-Luz, vamos a tu cuarto – la chica abre un ojo y se da cuenta dónde está, se incorpora con cuidado de n

a la princesa y en cuanto la ve libre, Gerard la toma entre sus brazos -. Te iba a invitar a pasear por lejardín, pero creo que estás cansada, hoy fue muy ajetreado para ti.

ZOS

-Sí, eso creo – apoya su cabeza en el pecho del hombre y se deja llevar por Morfeo otra vez, entre esosbrazos fuertes que le encantan -.

Gerard la acuesta en su cama, le quita los zapatos y la tapa con las cobijas. Se queda observándoladormir unos minutos sin dejar de pensar en lo afortunado que es de tener la oportunidad de conquistar aaquella chica.

Sale de allí para irse directo a su habitación, se cambia de ropa y se va al gimnasio, allí tratará dequemar energías y buscar el cansancio suficiente para poder dormir.

Without stopping seeing those brown eyes that he loves.

If only I could replace that woman, to end this now, without having to reach heaven and then fall to hell.

But fate is like that, cruel and miserable.

He reviews again the day that will start in a few more hours, thinking that the surprise for his daughterwill serve to start fulfilling his dreams and to get to know Luz better.

Suddenly, he feels like eating chocolate filled with truffles, so he leaves the exercise and goes to thekitchen where he hopes to replace something similar, but there he replaces Luz eating that chocolate.

Seeing him smiles embarrassed and extends the chocolate.

-Do you want some?

Gerard would eat whatever she gave him.
