House in the air 2

As soon as I remembered my commitments, the fascination with the "Itinerant Palace" ended, and the concern for my future work made me hyperventilate, Although it was two days of six hours a week (the classes are presented in modules when the one who gives the chair, in this case, I, is not recent from the island) there was no way that I could meet that from the other side of the ocean.

- How can I get back now? There is no way to tell the pilot to reverse!

- What days do you have classes?" he asked while checking on his cell phone.

- Tuesday and Thursday\, but. On Wednesdays and Fridays\, I give part-time advice to the students - I answered\,  thinking what I going to do to justify my absence without damaging my professional reputation.

"It's Sunday, at least on the island, right now they are not going to respond, but you can write a mail so that they know that you won't be there and this buys time to talk to someone and reschedule the chairs, and the consultations, you can do it virtually," he said without seeming to see any problem. I guess here you can see clearly when someone has more money than blood running in their veins,  a normal person like me rarely puts the conditions, but he sees it so simple…

- Aha\, do you want to tell me what reason I'm going to give them to breach a contract without giving even a single hint or a good reason? Because universities are businesses\, and they don't want you to break them just because - I wanted to take my anger out on him\, but I couldn't\, after all\, he hadn't tied me up to bring me here\, if I even signed him a paper in which I accepted that traveling was my will.

"Don't worry, I can solve that matter, give me half an hour and we'll leave everything resolved without any harm.

I was silent waiting to see how everything was solved by "Rico McPato", I took a walk on the plane, I looked at the clouds out the window, I was basically in the middle of nowhere with Tom, definitely if he wanted to do something to me he could have done it without impediments, I think that was the moment when I began to trust him as a human being. I also promised to lower my alcohol consumption... again.

After 20 minutes I had already hung up the phone while I was eating a package of fries that I had found in a basket. I saw him coming to me. I didn't know if what was on his face was a smile of victory or a mockery towards me.

"So, were you able to solve it?”

-Yes, I talked to a friend who has donated a lot of money to that university and I asked him to solve everything without causing you problems, it is always easier to ask for things when they need you and him is need by them.

-What kind of person are you, that you can call such an important person on Sunday, no idea what time it is already there, to ask him for something that has no justification, just your own will?

-Actually,  I gave them a pretty good reason for your absence, I  apologize for the rush and I said that it was a unique event and that you would also need to avoid being within the reach of the social press for at least these 15 days...

-I don't know why, I have the impression that I won't like what you're going to say right now... spill the tea right now  What is the reason?.

-That we had had a marriage ceremony and that I wanted to go and register it in my country, make it legal and pay our respects to my elders before the news comes out by the media and they find out by someone else.

- Now you are crazier than before\, the agreement says\, as far as I remember\, that I was traveling to consider the possibility of maybe accepting a marriage transaction with you\, not that it was already done. Where did you get that lie like so... so...

I couldn't say more, because he had taken out his cell phone, and he passed in front of me several photos, I understood how far I had gone in my drunkenness, I wished it was a nightstand with him, it would be just to a moment lost in my mind and could be passed, no pain no glory, but no, there were in front of my, photos in a ritual place of those where they organize marriage ceremonies of the new era, and as it seems that the subject that gets into my head before drinking ends up developing, even when I later I don't remember it, I could see myself in full color giving my: "Yes  I do" and hitting my fist when They declare us husband and wife, no kisses. Now I understood his expression when checking the phone before, his expressions of astonishment. This was a total, let me die.

–It’s not that I've told lies at all, I don't know how legal that ceremony.  It seems that we weren't the only ones, two other couples in the group ended up having a trial marriage, as they say in the video we took. Regardless of that, those photos are useful so that my parents can't refuse my marry with you and not the girl they had in mind. These photos assure that there will be a small scandal and by the time they see me arriving with you at the Villa where they live, the safest thing is that the gossip has already gone around everywhere, uff, really if I had planned it would not have been better. You should stop thinking because at least it seems that in the subconscious my business proposal seems to have convinced you.

- You keep saying that this is a good business but I still don't see how this benefits me\, other than that it puts me in the public's eye and the truth\, so far it's more of a problem than an advantage... You don't seem stupid or crazy\, or a dying person looking for someone to leave his inheritance\, so what you're looking for?
