Synopsis.
She was sitting in front of her computer, thinking of that loneliness that did not leave her, that every day she clung to her body and made her very miserable. With the tranquility that disguised his restlessness, he checked his e-mail, that woman who only with her sad thoughts would burst into tears, her heart was broken by so many stumbles that gave her life.
This was Catalina, a young girl with long red hair, eyes big black and about 25 years old, her life settled in routine, she left her studies to help with the upbringing of her brothers, so at 17 she got I work in a cafe, as a waitress and I had kept it until today.
Mario, an elegant man, blond hair and light blue eyes of about 36 years of age, partner of a lawyer's office, a magnificent tycoon who used to be with many girls and Catalina would not be the exception.
Mario knew that this young woman would be an easy prey for him, a beautiful girl of very low resources, so every afternoon after leaving his office, he would go through the cafe asking to be cared for by her, he would ask for an American coffee. I took a sip and left, leaving a note on the table that said Today you are more beautiful than yesterday M.!
Chapter 1.
The days were passing and she always waited for him at the end of the afternoon, there was no need for him to ask to be cared for by her, between his shyness Catalina always brought her his American coffee. He had a collection of papers of all the notes left by him and although he always wore his work uniform, the note always said the same.
One afternoon the surprise was for Mario, because when he raised his coffee cup, he found a note that said. The coffee here, it tastes horrible. C!
He smiled to himself and also took a sip and left.
Catalina waited a while to pick up the table, was afraid to know what her response would have been, saw no gesture on her face and was afraid of being a stalker, as she approached the table she was surprised to see a note saying. I do not come here for coffee M.! I was frozen with my eyes fixed on the door, thinking about him and how abusive he had been to leave that note.
His work day ended and he kept thinking about him, he even blushed, his thoughts did not reflect sadness, and loneliness had a face, but he never stopped feeling afraid, afraid to return to the void where he was for many years thanks to a long and painful relationship.
Catalina every time she tried to approach Mario, fear invaded her and she could not, but on a common afternoon, serving her coffee Mario watched her from her chair and told her
-I invite you a coffee-
She looked at him and splashed some coffee on the table
-Excuse me, I answer
Mario smiles and says to him -yet, the coffee here is horrible, close by there is an ice cream shop, I say if you prefer an ice cream.
Catalina did not know what to do, if to run away, if she accepted the invitation, she just stood in front of him looking at him, thinking about what to say and suddenly.
-My turn ends at 8:00 p.m.
-If that is a yes, I can come for you at that time, I answer.
Mario got up from his chair, took a bill out of his pocket, placed it on the table and left.
She was paralyzed watching how he left thinking if he took his word as a or as a no. The minutes for Catalina passed very slowly and she felt a lot of uncertainty about whether she would arrive for it or not. Clients arrived, customers left and his mind focused on it and that is the time of his departure.
On the way to the dressing table to change, blue jean with sweater, her hair pulled back and without makeup indicated that she would have a weekend to rest and not think. As he leaves the cafe he says goodbye to his best friend, Kate with a kiss on the cheek.
-Drink Catalina, you deserve it I'll go partying for two, do not wait for me awake, he left laughing.
Two steps later, a man in a jacket and tie was waiting for him, leaning on his vehicle, an Audi R-8, blue.
-I'm sorry for the formality, I was in the buffet and if I went home to change I would not be here at 8:00 p.m. for our ice cream.
Once more surprised, I stand in front of him without saying a word
-you keep opening the car door.
-pens! I'm ... I'm sorry, I'm a little nervous
-Don't worry, are we going for the ice cream?
Catalina climbed into the car, without saying a word, he broke the ice.
-Are you surprised to see me ?, means that your answer was a no and I got confused
-no, she answered in a low voice, - only nerves sometimes leave me speechless.
Once in the ice cream parlor the conversation became very pleasant, and she was chatting a little more and both had fun, he started talking about his life, boasted how far he had come, his law firm was one of the most prestigious in the city She came from a wealthy family of lawyers and the most coveted bachelor in New York, but she was a simple, low-income woman who lived in an apartment shared with her best friend.
They had already finished their ice cream, but the talk was so nice that they did not realize that they were already collecting to close, she surprised
-It's late, I have to leave.
-wait, let me take you to your house.
-No, it's okay I like to walk
-Please, Mario responds in a low voice, - so I'll be calmer
She sighed, and nodded, in the vehicle the laughter was to catch and she had left a little shyness, felt good at his side, once in front of his apartment he said goodbye with a kiss on the cheek wishing him a happy weekend.
Came Monday and Catalina the best thing she could have done was talk with her best friend of Mario, that day she went to work makeup and the glow of her smile shone like sunlight, anxious because the street was late to see Mario , but for him there was no change, his weekend was something common, outings, women and drinks. Already in his office he was talking with his partner and best friend Jack.
-then you took the insipid to eat ice cream, how many hours did you lose? Jack asks him.
-If you knew that she had a good time, what she needed was to let go a little, but her company was very pleasant.
- Are you telling me you like it?
-no, Mario replies, I am telling you that she is very nice and I liked her company, she is a very beautiful woman, I am thinking of inviting her to the theater, or to dinner.
-I do not think that woman accepts, replies Jack, she is very quiet and fearful it shows in her face.
Mario gets up from his chair, and observes the coffee from the window of his office and tells him.
-What do you want to bet that I take that woman to bed?
-ha ha ha, the thing is getting good, have wanted friend, What do you want to lose?
Mario walks towards him, and answers him.
-I'm not going to lose, it's more will be faster than you imagine, putting your hand in your pocket takes out the keys of your Audi and showing it - do you want it?
Jack looked at him confused, -you are very sure that this happened to bet your favorite car, mmmm -it's okay Dr. Mario Koch, but I give you a month to make that happen.
-one month is enough, Mario replied - now go and let me work.
Cayo afternoon and the anxiety of seeing him did not stop, catalina did not stop looking at the door or his watch, but that Monday by chance or fate for her, he did not come for his American coffee, he felt a void in his stomach, and that feeling of sadness felt it again, her thoughts invaded her and frightened she thought -no, no and no, that man can not be ... No, I'm certainly not confused.
