Lisa
Even though I'm twenty years old, I know I haven't lived half as much as girls my age. I only studied, worked, did chores at home, and endured all kinds of blows and humiliations, but nothing else. I don't understand fashion, I don't know anything about makeup, I haven't worn heels, and I have never traveled.
Maximo suggested I wear makeup, and with all the embarrassment in the world, I had to tell him I didn't know how to do it. I thought he would laugh or make a comment, but he simply said, "no one is born knowing, everything is learned", and searched for tutorials on how to do simple makeup.
My hands were trembling. What if I did it wrong? Or what if I messed everything up? So, he turned my face to look at it directly and took several products. I barely felt his hands; they were so gentle as he applied the foundation. It felt like he was caressing me, or maybe I'm just used to being hit and treated roughly.
When he finished, I looked at myself in the mirror and didn't recognize myself. I was speechless. He had a big satisfied smile for learning something new.
He told me we are going shopping, and I got extremely nervous. I have no idea what I should buy, I'm afraid of making a fool of myself, and I don't want him to spend money on me. Nonetheless, I know he is right, and I should do things his way so as not to embarrass him.
He said that maybe he would ask the servants to come to work, and I know that on the days they are here, we must sleep together. I'm not scared of sharing the bed with him, besides, I know this is his room, and I have already caused him enough inconvenience and discomfort.

It's almost time to travel, and I don't even know what to pack because I'm not sure if the place will be cold or hot, or how many days we will stay.
Maximo came back from work and immediately came to do my makeup and give me some clothes. The chauffeur was waiting for us to take us shopping.
We went to the biggest and most expensive store in town, where they sold everything from jewelry to shoes. I was amazed not to see anyone there, and he whispered to me, "I specifically had it closed so you could feel comfortable and get the service you deserve."
Around five saleswomen came to greet us, and he ordered all sorts of things. They brought dresses, skirts, tops, jeans, jackets, bags, jewelry, and a wide variety of shoes. Terrified, I looked at the piles of things in front of me. He approached and hugged me by the waist, saying, "love, you can go and try on some clothes." I just looked at him, wondering if we were going to live in the store.
After the twentieth outfit, I was already exhausted, but he just sat outside the fitting room with a glass of champagne, ordering more and more things for me.
When I couldn't take it anymore, I came out and asked him to please let's leave, but his response perplexed me.
"There's still something missing."
"What?"
"Miss, here you go. You can try them on and see what you like and what is more comfortable for you. These are the finest lingerie options available."
I stared at him, it had to be a joke. I had to try on a bra, they were all in my size, and I only chose two that provided more coverage, but he intervened again and asked them to pack absolutely everything.
The saleswomen started packing and storing everything in bags, some of which would be sent later.
We left the store, and it was already nighttime. We had spent six hours there.
"I won't go shopping with you anymore, Maximo."
"You didn't like it?"
"We'll be together for three years, and I won't have time to wear all of this. It's too much. Besides, you didn't need to buy me underwear; I could have gone by myself."
"And buy clothes in an affordable store? No way, you're my woman, and you'll only wear the best."
"It's too much, and before you continue complaining, we still have one more place to visit before we go back."
"You must be crazy."
"No."
We went to a celebrity hair salon. They washed my hair, cut off the ugly ends, gave me treatments, and provided several products to take care of it.
My hair had never looked so beautiful; it was the thing I liked the most out of all the hours we spent outside.
I asked him if we could have pizza for dinner when we arrived, and that's exactly what we did. Once in the room, we all got into bed to watch a movie, although I didn't even know what it was about, and I fell asleep deeply, not being the only one. When I felt the bed moving, I opened my eyes and saw him sleeping with his back turned towards me.
