Chapter 7 9

Rafael lowers the glass of the window enough so that the guard of the booth recognizes him and allowshim entry, he looks at Luz who is sleeping in the seat next to him, it has been a restless dream, but atleast she is sleeping.

Arriving at the entrance of the colonial-style house, one of his mother’s maids and the butler approachthe car, he gets out as soon as he stops the car to close the distance between them.

-Scott, good night – extends his hand to the man who keeps the same face as always, as if he had astick in the … -. Sorry to arrive at this hour and without warning, but it was an emergency. I need tworooms.

-I can prepare one for you at the moment – he says in the same haughty tone –

-As always, following the heir’s orders – Rafael tells him with annoyance -. But with one for now it worksfor me.

-Do you need help with the luggage ? -I’m not bringing luggage, I just need you to hurry up with thatroom, I’m bringing company and she’s asleep.

-In that case, perhaps it would be advisable to notify your mother.

-If you’ll just take care of her bad temper for waking her up at… -he looks at his watch-, one in themorning, I don’t care.

The man frowns and sends the girl with a nod of his head to prepare the room. Rafael returns to the carto wait, while he sends several messages to his second, asking her to take care of everything that hiscompany has scheduled, for an indefinite period of time.

Half an hour later the girl comes out of the bathroom and makes a gesture with her hand that she’sready, but she doesn’t just stand there, she walks over to see if she needs help.

Rafael, very carefully, takes Luz in his arms, while the girl helps him hold the door and then adjusts theblanket to cover her from the coolness of the night.

-Thank you – he says –

-There is no reason to. Come on, I fixed her room for him.

He follows her up to the second floor in silence, while Luz is unfazed by what is happening. Although sheremembers the way very well, she is grateful that at least someone receives her with some cordiality.

She enters the room, the girl comes forward to open the covers and then removes the blanket thatcovers Luz, the girl stares at that little woman, she looks so fragile and the need to take care of herawakens in her, she looks like a girl Lost in this strange world

-If you need anything, don’t hesitate to let me know. My name is Chloe.

-Thank you, Chloe. The lady is going to need clothes for tomorrow, she doesn’t wear extravagantclothes, you know, the normal of a normal teenager – the girl nods and walks towards the door, but shestops her-. She’s pregnant, so no tight clothes.

– Of course, sir, rest.

The girl closes the door and Rafael stares at his old room.

It doesn’t look anything like it did a while ago. Gone are his posters of Eminem, Missy Elliott and Red HotChilli Peppers.

– Of course they wouldn’t be, if she never approved of my musical tastes.

She takes care of making Luz comfortable, then goes to the huge closet that is there and replaces someblankets and pillows. He arranges them on the floor on the soft gray rug and stares at the ceiling.

That night he had moved on for the first time with a girl in a long time, but now he wasn’t sure Evangelinewould forgive him for leaving without even saying goodbye.

He picks up his phone and sends her a message.

“Sorry. I promise to make it up to you when we meet again.”

He leaves it on his chest, a sigh escapes him and decides to do something more risky. “I love you and Iwill not stop thinking about you.” Because that’s the truth, she wants it. That girl, without even getting toknow her as she had to do with Luz, already moves her floor more than she would like to admit.

He tries to breathe a little, settles down to sleep and lets out a sigh. She can hear Luz’s slow breathing,at least she is calm now. Tomorrow she’ll take her for a walk or whatever she wants, she needs to knowwhat’s going on. She only knows that this mask is the one that Luz described to her that time . But whywas it in Gerard’s hands?

He closes his eyes, but a whisper of sleeping Light makes him shed a couple of small tears.

-Gerard… don’t hurt me… I love you.
