Manuel had been feeling down and distracted in the past few days, and Marcos, his friend, was trying to cheer him up. All he wanted was for his phone to ring and for it to be Carla.
"Come on, buddy, you need to lift your spirits," Marcos said to Manuel.
"I'm fine," he replied.
"I've known you for years, and I know you miss her," Marcos sat in front of Manuel.
"I won't deny that," Manuel set aside the documents he had been reviewing all morning and couldn't seem to finish for some reason.
"I can't believe you've fallen so hard in such a short time," Marcos smiled.
"I don't know if I'm in love. It's too soon to say. But the truth is, I can't stop thinking about her. Day and night, she's stuck in my mind," Manuel sighed.
"Well, my friend, I feel sorry for you," Marcos chuckled mockingly.
"Don't say silly things. Let's get ready instead. Today is the day of reckoning. I'll finally face that idiot Mauricio Lopez in court," Manuel picked up the documents again, ignoring his friend's laughter.
Manuel.
It had been two long weeks, and throughout that time, I couldn't get that woman out of my head. She had taken hold of every single one of my thoughts. I longed to see her, or at least hear her voice, but she showed no sign of life. It was driving me crazy. I wanted to go out and find her, but where? I didn't even have her phone number since she preferred to be the one to reach out to me.
Today, I had a trial. It was a high-profile case involving a company being sued by several of its employees for mistreatment by their boss.
Of course, I was in charge of defending the employees. This would bring me a lot of trouble and a few enemies, but I didn't care. I dedicated several months to researching the case, and thanks to my hard work, I had all the evidence to win it.
The courtroom was filled with journalists and employees. It was the case of the year, adding more weight on my shoulders. And if we add the fact that Mauricio Lopez was in charge of defending the company, you can imagine.
The trial lasted nearly five hours, with only one break to grab a quick meal. In the end, the verdict was delivered, and yes, I won. With so much evidence, it was impossible to lose. During the trial, I felt someone's eyes on me, but I was so focused that I didn't bother to see who it was.
...
Manuel left the courtroom and headed to the men's restroom. As he washed his hands, he felt someone enter and close the door. He didn't pay much attention until he turned around and saw who it was.
"Dr. Castañeda, you did a great job today," Carla said.
"Mrs. Lopez, it's a pleasure to see you," he replied, moving closer to her until they were just inches apart.
Carla sealed her lips to his in a kiss filled with lust. She was wearing a skirt that barely reached her knees. He slid his hands beneath it, making circles on the delicate fabric covering her femininity, which quickly became moist.
"I desire you," he said in a husky voice.
"Me too," she replied.
Without further ado, she wrapped her legs around his hips, and Manuel lifted her onto the sink. He quickly unzipped his pants, revealing his erect member, and plunged into her.
"You have no idea how much I longed to have you like this again," he said between moans.
The thrusts were deep, providing the most exquisite pleasure, fulfilling their every desire. A few minutes later, they reached the pinnacle and exploded in a blissful orgasm.
"That was amazing," she said breathlessly.
"Yes, it was fantastic," he said, kissing her slowly.
Both rearranged their clothes and freshened up. Every now and then, their gazes met, accompanied by mischievous smiles.
"How have you been?" he asked once they were ready.
"What can I say," she replied, approaching him and placing a hand on his chest.
She was about to kiss him when the door was knocked. From the other side, a voice familiar to both of them could be heard.
"Is someone in there? I need to use the bathroom," Mauricio said.
Manuel opened his eyes wide, while Carla simply smiled and then entered one of the cubicles.
Manuel adjusted his tie and opened the door.
"Doctor Lopez, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention and closed the door," Manuel apologized.
"Don't worry, Dr. Castañeda, now I can enter," Mauricio told him.
"Of course, I'm done," he replied.
Manuel stepped aside for him to enter. He had remained calm, but he feared that Carla would be discovered, not by him, but by her.
...
Carla.
It had been a long week. Each day it became harder for me to pretend that everything was fine with Mauricio, and the worst part was that lately he was too close to me. I had no idea what was wrong with him, but he wanted to have sex every night. He never liked giving me oral sex, but now he insisted every day and I refused.
Two long weeks went by like this. I was thinking of a way to get back at that bastard Mauricio, and several ideas crossed my mind. I had to hurry because I couldn't stand the situation anymore.
It had never occurred to me to go through Mauricio's things. I had always been very respectful of his belongings. But for the first time, I thought about doing it. The truth was, I wasn't prepared for it.
Within our closet, I found a box where I knew he kept important documents for himself. After five years, I opened it and was shocked by what I found. Inside, there was his son's birth certificate, photos of his birth, as well as the deed for the house where Sofia and the little one live.
It seems like he always considered me a fool, and apparently I was one, as the evidence had always been in my own house.
