Capítulo 80

La luz de la mañana se cuela tenue a la habitación, Luz se sienta en aquella cama que no reconoce denada. Un fuerte dolor de cabeza la hace arrugar la nariz, pero la imagen al lado de la cama la hacellevarse las manos a la boca.

Rafael está tirado en el suelo, boca abajo y a medio tapar, ronca bajito por la mala posición y ella nopuede evitar sentir se triste por lo que le ha provocado a su amigo.

Se baja con cuidado y se arrodilla a su lado, lo mueve un poco para despertarlo y no puede evitarsonreír al verlo mover la cabeza. La alfombra está pegada en su mejilla, pero el chico sonríe mientras se sienta.

-¿Cómo dormiste?

-Solo sé que dormí – le dice ella, rodeando su vientre con sus brazos -.

–Más tarde, si quieres, iremos de paseo a algún lugar – ella asiente -(This novel will be daily updtaed atwww.noveljar.com). Necesito que me cuentes lo que pasó anoche, de otra manera no te puedo ayudar.

Luz se limpia esas lágrimas que se le escapan, ella sabe que sí, así debe ser, pero solo recordar aGerard con aquella máscara entre sus manos, reconociendo que fue él aquel hombre de esa horriblenoche.

– Now, I’ll go get you clothes, last night I asked them to get you something.

-What time do we arrive? -After midnight, we had good traffic – she stands up and helps Luz to do itherself –

-Where we are?

-This is the family home of the Williams, we are in my mother’s house.

-And yours.

“She’s not mine, at least not until she inherits me, if I let her.”

She smiles and he walks over to hug her, puts his arms around her for a moment, but then remembersthat if Gerard were there she’d be strangling him, so he lets her go a little.

-My girl… I promise I won’t leave you alone.

-You’ve never done it, I’d probably be lying on a bed, crying my misfortune… but you’re not going toleave me.

– And you doubt it? – he tells her laughing -. I didn’t leave you that night, I won’t now and never again.

“Even if you marry Evangeline?”

-I’ll do it together with Evangeline… -his cell phone rings and he sees that it’s her-. Oh, thank God.

He makes a gesture to Luz that she will answer and goes out to the balcony of her room.

-Eve, yo…

-Shut up and listen to me – a cold sweat runs down Rafael’s back from one moment to another becauseof those words, he was surely annoyed -. I love you too and I only beg you, I beg you, take care ofLucecita.

-You almost scared me to death, I thought you were going to fly.

-That kiss last night… you don’t give it to just anyone, so I already know that it’s not Luz who moves you.But now they matter, tell her that I will take care of Charlize personally and that I love her very much.

I’ll tell him, I’ll call you later.

– I love you.

They hang up the phone and Rafael’s face is that of a stupid boy, (This novel will be daily updtaed atwww.noveljar.com)in love and who has been given the best gift of all. Upon entering, he sees Luz sittingon the bed, looking at her hands.

-My girl… I left her alone.

-Let’s see, Luz Méndez – he kneels in front of her and forces her to look at him -. Now, he wants you tothink of you and only you. Not your parents, not him, not even Charlize. Just you and that baby. Give mea few minutes, I’ll go get your clothes and then we’ll go to breakfast.

But Rafael forgot something super important, he is at his mother’s house and that woman does notforgive.

When he leaves the room, he replaces her in front of him, frowning and wanting to spank him at that precisemoment for being such an inconsiderate son. I think a few of you would spank him too, but for otherreasons.

-Mother, how are you… ?

-Don’t go on, Rafael, you can ask me that at least twice a week over the phone. Tell me, what are youdoing here and in such a surprising way?

-Wow, I thought you could come visit…

-Visit would be if you had at least arrived with luggage.

-I see that Scott left you with the gossip already – he begins to walk towards the stairs, but the womanstops him –

-It’s not gossip, in this house nothing happens without you knowing.

-Really? I’m surprised you say that, because your last lover hit me several times for being drunk and younever found out.

-Do not change the subject.

-That’s always the problem with you, even your false fingernails twitch when I mention that idiot. But Iremind you that he and my independence were the main reasons for me to leave.

If the woman is going to say something else, Rafael doesn’t let her, because he’s going to look for Chloe,to see if she has the job for him. As soon as she walks into the kitchen, the girl jumps up from the chairshe was in and reaches for a paper bag which she holds out to her with that smile.

-It’s too early to go to a store, but here’s something from my wardrobe, it’s clothes I haven’t worn -(Thisnovel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) he hastened to say -. He will see that it even has thelabels.

-Thank you, I’ll give you the money later.

-Oh, don’t bother. I saw her so… fragile, she reminds me of my little sister. Just tell me what she wants toeat her or if she has any favorite food…

– No favoritism! shouts the dignified Mrs. Williams. Here follows a menu and so it will continue.

-If you think it was for me, you’re wrong – Rafael tells him leaving -. Thanks Chloe. Whatever you havefor breakfast will be fine for Luz.

– Light ? Who is Light? -She’s my girlfriend, mother. I didn’t come alone and I’m going to ask you tobehave, because she’s pregnant.

He leaves there with the biggest smile he has, because with that his mother will no longer dare to messwith him or with Luz.

(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)She wanted a grandson more than anything andwith that she will ensure that Luz is protected in the house from her crazy aristocratic mother.

At least until he manages to replace out what happened and see if what happened with Gerard and Luz issalvageable, because he is sure of one thing, that man would go to the underworld for his Little Light.
