Episode 10

HIDDEN FEELINGS......

After talking to my family for a while, I go to the balcony and sit down to admire the stars, and for a brief moment I start thinking about Alicia, what makes me most uneasy is what I saw in her, that scar doesn't look like a normal or domestic accident, I get out of my thoughts when I see Victoria coming towards me to solve some pending issues.

VICTORIA: Here,__she hands me a folder with some documents

HEITOR: Ok, I'll analyze everything, don't worry, your company is in good hands__I say looking at the folder

VICTORIA: Ah, before anything else, let's say.....less ignorant with Alicia, she's good at what she does__she says, sitting down next to me

HEITOR: Okay, but come here, what makes you think I'm going to be uneducated...or ignorant with her?__I say looking at her I see the surprise in her eyes

VICTORIA: God heard my prayers,__she says, raising her hands to the sky

HEITOR: Are you going to start already?

VICTORIA: Okay, forget it, but...tell me, what do you feel for her__she says with her eyes shining in my direction

As crazy as Victoria is, I love her, and not just a little, we are very close, we share many secrets, and that's why I know Victoria is hiding something from Alicia's past, how do I know?.....simple, she knows me very well, just like I know her....

HEITOR: How can I feel something for someone I don't even know? You're crazy you know

VICTORIA: Okay, no need to get mad, but take note__she says getting closer to my ear__Cesar and I are still going to be your best man and maid of honor at your wedding__she says and leaves at the speed of light.

Me?

Yeah, no way, I'm not planning on getting married anytime soon,

I get comfortable on the couch on the balcony, and start thinking again, but soon I avoid these thoughts, they are not doing me any good.

I grab the folder and start analyzing each paper, I read one by one when I finish, I organize everything and go to the office, I put away the documents and right after my mother tells me that dinner is served,...

The table is surrounded by the whole family, but I can't find Alicia,......... I can't wait for this wedding tomorrow, I have to get out of the same environment as her, it's making me very bad...

ALICIA GARCIA....

I was watching the night from my bedroom window, and wow it is incredible, one star brighter than the other, I was so distracted that I didn't even realize the exact moment I looked down and saw Heitor and Victoria, but I wasn't listening to anything they were saying, it must have been about business....

I saw myself for a while looking at Heitor's face and how his lips moved, I wished to kiss him but soon threw that thought away. Minutes later I saw Victoria leaving and he was left looking at the papers and then he left too,...I looked up at the sky and asked God...

ALICIA: What's happening to me? You know...what I went through and the fear I have that everything will happen again, I'm afraid.........of being rejected or used and then discarded, give me a direction up there....

I turned my attention back to the stars and I missed my family, and I decided to call my mother,...

CALL ON ✅

ALICIA: Good evening, Mom, how are you? And Dad?

SARAH: Good evening, my princess, I'm fine and so is your father, how are you?__she says waiting for my answer but I delay__,honey?

During the call I was daydreaming, my mother knew me very well..

ALICIA: HI

SARAH: Are you okay?

ALICIA: Yes, I'm fine, Mom...

SARAH: You know you can't lie to me, right?

ALICIA: Yeah.... and it's just that....you know, Mom, my past still haunts me, and so does the fear of living or having a relationship with someone...

SARAH: Honey...I know how much you've suffered, but you have to try... you have to take a stand, so you can start over, as long as you refuse to meet someone you won't know if you can really try, go ahead, your father and I are rooting for you, we know you can do it

ALICIA: Mom, I love you so much...you know you and Victoria understand me and know what to say to me,...I love you, okay?

SARAH: I love you too, God bless you

ALICIA: You too, bye

CALL OFF 📴

I put my cell phone on the bed and lock the bedroom door, go to the bathroom and take a shower to relax, for a brief moment I remember the way Heitor looked at me, when I ran away from Eduardo, it was as if his eyes were captivated, his touch, his smell, the way he held me, it sent shivers down my spine,...

ALICIA: Heitor......what are you doing to me? You're even in my thoughts

I get out of the shower and go straight to bed, and it wasn't long before I fell asleep, in my room I used to sleep naked, good thing I locked the door....

AT DAWN....

I woke up with the sun on my face, I forgot to close the curtains the night before, I get up and for a brief moment I look down and I can see the movement, I go to the bathroom and do my hygiene and get ready, minutes later I go down to see if Victoria is there yet...

I greet the people, all very polite and with smiles on their faces, I see Eduardo at the table, when he sees me he starts smiling maliciously, I ignore his intentions and go outside the mansion where thank God Victoria was already waiting for me...

VICTORIA: I'm so anxious__she says as she approaches me

ALICIA: Your day has come, and everything will be fine

VICTORIA: Come on, Heitor will take us__she says pulling me to the car

ALICIA: This is not going to work, you know that your brother and I don't.... we get along... if you know what I mean__I say getting into the car

HEITOR: Likewise

My heart almost jumped out of my mouth, he was already inside the car, how can I hate him even more?

Besides stealing my thoughts, he still steals my peace of mind...

VICTORIA: You two don't start, save it for later__she says maliciously

ALICIA: Don't even think about it

HEITOR: Out of the question, now let's go...

The trip was fast, we got the dresses, went to the snack bar and bought some more things and then went back to the mansion, Victoria and I went to check the final adjustments and everything was impeccable at 4:00 pm, the team that was going to take care of us was already waiting for us, they started with the bride and yes she looked perfect, and then it was my turn, we were stunning....

VICTORIA: Time for the dress AAA

VICTORIA was nervous and excited, I helped her and then I got dressed and Matteo surprised me, I looked incredibly hot...

VICTORIA: Alicia, oh my God.... you look perfect..
