Episode 14

CHRISTOPHER

I spent the whole night tossing and turning in bed. I'm such an idiot for shouting at her. She didn't deserve that, and her sister is not to blame for her parents. But because of my stupidity, I ended up unloading all my frustration on her. I stayed awake, waiting for the door to open and for her to come in, but it never happened. When morning arrived, the door finally opened, and she entered. I immediately embraced her tightly against my chest, and she stood still, I guess I didn't surprise her.

"I'm sorry, I was such an idiot," I said as I let her go, even though I didn't want to.

"I wasn't very patient either," she says apologetically, looking at me with surprise. "What happened? Didn't you sleep?" she asks, surprised.

"Well, I missed you. I think I got used to having you in my arms while I slept," I said, and she gave me a smile.

"For me, it wasn't that difficult because I had a mini version of you in my arms," she says.

"I think I need a mini version of you," I didn't realize what I said, and she blushed. I'm such a fool when it comes to her.

"I think I should get ready and take Chris to school," she says.

"Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me when it comes to you. Yesterday, I unleashed all my frustration on you, and I really want you to forgive me. Let's get to know each other and see what happens. And this house is yours, you can do whatever you want in it, invite whoever you want because you are the lady of the house," I said, taking her hand.

"I forgive you if you forgive me. When you raised your voice, it reminded me of my father, and I took out all my frustration on you. We were both out of control, and I would also like to get to know you," she replies with a smile, and I embrace her.

"Let's start from scratch, my girl. Let's get to know each other, go out, and let everything flow. If something more than friendship develops between us, we will be happy. But if not, we'll still be happy because no matter what happens, we will always be friends and Chris's parents," I say, looking into her beautiful hazel eyes.

"Well, but now you should sleep," she says, and I don't think I will, but I get into bed while she goes into the bathroom.

After a while, she comes out in her pajamas and leaves the room. I don't know what she went to do, but she took about thirty minutes and then she came back and lay down next to me. She leaned in and hugged me.

"I thought you were going to take Chris to school?" I asked, unable to believe it.

"You haven't slept. My sister will take Chris to school with Ian. I have classes a little later, so we can sleep for a couple of hours before I leave," she says with a smile, and I hold her tighter.

"Thank you, my girl," I said as I hugged her tightly.

"Now go to sleep and stop squeezing me," she says, and I let go of her just a little. Quickly, I fell into the arms of Morpheus.

When I woke up, my mischievous girl wasn't by my side. I looked at the clock, and it was already noon. I quickly got out of bed and entered the shower. When I finished, I got dressed and left the room. When I arrived at the dining room, everyone was already having lunch, except for Alana, who I think is still at the university.

"Daddy, you woke up. Mommy said not to wake you up because you were very tired," Chris says.

"Yeah, I didn't sleep well last night, champ. Where's your mom?" I asked, although I suppose she's at the university, I'm not sure.

"I don't know. Auntie took me to school and picked me up with Uncle Ian," Chris replies.

"My sister has to work on a project with her friend Carmen, and she said she would be here in the afternoon," Lucía says.

"Thank you, Lucía, and I wanted to apologize for how I behaved yesterday. It wasn't a good day for me," I said.

"Don't worry, I don't think yesterday was a good day for anyone," Lucía says.

"Hey, handsome sleeper, let's go to the office. We need to talk," Ian says.

"Alright!" I say. We ate in silence, and when we finished, Lucía took Chris, and I went to the office with my brother and Ian.

"Now tell me what you know," I said, sitting at my desk.

"Well, Lucía's parents are going crazy looking for her, so she has to call them or send them a note explaining why she left,"

"Alright, I'll ask her to do it. Anything else?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm tracing Alana's biological mother. She seems to be living in New York, but we don't have her address yet," said Cristóbal.

"Alright, keep investigating. I'll go to the company for some documents. Ian, tell Lucia to call her parents. I noticed how you were looking at her. This is an excuse for you to go after her," I said, ignoring my friend's killer look. I need to find those documents, and once I have them, I'll come back. Hopefully, Alana will be here by then. I want to see her. I just need to see her."
