Elisa was lost in her own thoughts, staring at the rain falling outside through the window, a few tears insisted on falling from her eyes, she was missing Gisele a lot.
Loud knocks on the door bring her back to reality, on the other side a deep and seductive voice calls her name.
Christian - Elisa, can I come in?
She feels a chill run down her spine, a strange sensation mixed with fear leave Elisa quite shaky and nervous, she walks slowly to the door, but does not open it, when she tries to say something her voice simply disappears.
However, he calls her again, she takes a deep breath and this time turns the doorknob, opening it slowly.
Christian carefully watches each of her movements, she was looking down, beautiful, her loose hair falling over her face, emitting a scent of flowers that left him intoxicated, he had to control himself not to grab her.
"Elisa?" (he calls her, making her look at him)
Their eyes meet for the first time, both feel a shock run through their bodies, a strange feeling that Elisa couldn't identify. Christian stares into her sea-colored eyes, her face was even more angelic in person, her pink lips along with the red apples of her cheeks hypnotize him. With Elisa, it was no different, in seconds she made a complete study of Christian's face, the well-groomed beard and his sky-colored eyes were extremely seductive, he seemed to be a bit older, but very handsome and seductive.
Soledad, who was there at the moment, noticed the exchange of glances, turned around and went back to the kitchen, they didn't even realize it, they remained there for some time just staring at each other, until finally Christian spoke, breaking the silence.
Christian - I heard you're not feeling well, I came to see how you are?
Elisa continues to stare at him, her words simply disappeared from her mouth.
Christian - I'm sorry, let me introduce myself, I'm Christian Fox!
Elisa - A...Elisa!
Christian - It's a great pleasure to finally meet you, Elisa, I also want to apologize for not personally coming to sign the documents with you, I had to take care of some matters.
Elisa - It's okay... (she says embarrassed)
Christian - I wanted you to come to dinner with me, Soledad prepared a risotto, I'm sure you'll like it!
Elisa - If you don't mind, I would like to stay in the room... I don't feel very well!
Christian is pensive with her response, his intention was not to ask but to make her come down with him to eat, but seeing her like this, she seemed so sensitive and fragile that his heart melted, at that moment he felt an extreme need to protect her from everything and everyone!
"Do you want to go to the hospital? There's one nearby!"
Elisa - No, it's okay, thank you!
Christian - Okay... But if you need anything, you can call me!
...
He leaves the room quite frustrated, of course it wouldn't be that easy, she was scared, and that was clear.
Christian - Ah? Who am I trying to fool? This girl is only here because I forced her, she is young and beautiful, she will never look at me with different eyes!
He returns to his office disappointed, completely losing his appetite, for him the only thing that would help today was alcohol.
He locked the door from the inside and took a bottle of brandy from the small cellar in the room, then he opened the cap and drank it all at once, regretting the mistake he made, because forcing someone to love you is never right to do, because love is not something that can be bought, but something that is conquered with actions and attitudes shown in everyday life.
Christian drank the whole bottle, he opened a drawer where he kept all the information about Elisa, among the papers he took a picture that was taken of her, leaving college, she smiled in the photo. Then he opened another bottle, but this time of whiskey, he knew that mixing like this was not correct, but for today he just wanted to feel less guilty!
...
Sol watched the hours pass by, finding it strange that Chris hadn't come down for dinner, the food had already gone cold, she had made a plate and taken it to Elisa some time ago, but Chris hadn't shown up so she went upstairs and knocked on his door and opened it, he wasn't there, so she assumed he must be holed up in the office.
Sol - Chris, are you there, son?
She knocked on the door.
Sol - Chris? It's me, son, open the door!
Christian - Go away, I'm not hungry!
His voice was already a bit slurred from the amount of alcohol consumed, Sol knew about his addiction, but it had been some time since he had been drunk, he only drank casually.
Sol - Chris, open this door!
Christian didn't reply anymore, she stayed there for a while trying, but he didn't open up, it got late so she went to bed, she knew his reasons, knew everything about the plan to have Elisa, she didn't agree, but she didn't say anything, she loved him like a son since she saw him grow up, she was his mother's best friend.
(…)
Christian ended up passing out on the office couch, in the middle of the night he woke up, not knowing where he was, he tried to get up, but his head started spinning, he was dizzy. He took his phone out of his pocket and saw it was 3:20 in the morning, he had been dreaming about Elisa, another one of his erotic dreams.
- Damn! It felt so real this time...
He got up staggering, left the office that was on the same hallway as the bedrooms, stood in front of Elisa's room, torn between doubt and desire, he chose desire, turned the doorknob in an attempt to see her sleeping.
The room had the soft light of the bedside lamp on, perfectly illuminating Elisa's face, her chest rising and falling with her breathing, that image drove Chris even crazier, he wanted so much, so much, to have her in his arms. That feeling was stronger than he could have imagined.
Christian sat on the edge of the bed and began to caress Elisa's face, he arranged all the strands that had fallen on her face, her breathing was heavy so he thought a kiss wouldn't wake her up.
- You're so perfect!
He spoke in a low voice.
Chris leaned in and gave Elisa a peck on her full lips, but at that moment she opened her eyes and let out a scream followed by a push, sending Christian flying away.
Elisa - What are you doing?
She also got up from the bed.
Christian - I'm sorry, I...
Elisa - Are you drunk? Please leave...
She pointed to the door.
Christian - It wasn't my intention...
Elisa - Leave, please...
Only then did Christian realize the mistake he had just made, he left the room in silence and went into his own. This time, Elisa locked the door, her heart racing from the shock, if she was already scared before, it only got worse after that.
