- A Memory
Marin
look at the time on my watch. It’s quitting time, so I start putting my things away. I’ve been working at Albert’s company for a little over a manth now I’m his assistant’s assistant, and although they don’t give me big tasks. I’ve been learning a lot thanks to Molly’s help. She is patient with me and teaches me, so I am putting a lot of effort into learning. She leaves early and I leave later. That was my boss’s under and I had no problem complying Surprisingly, during this time he hasn’t made any advances Towards me, so I have felt comfortable. For a moment I thought that he just wanted to have me on hand to proposition me for something outside of work, but I think I was
As I’m turning off the compute the boss coming out of his office, about to leave
“Are you leaving. Maria?” I nod and he smiles back, “Do you want me to take you somewhere? I’m about to refuse when I think about how uncomfortable it in to travel by
x So after thinking about it for a minute. I accept his proposal
Thank you It’s getting a little lase He smiles and points me to the ext to accompany him.
During this time he has also not mentioned that kiss at the beach party and I don’t know if I want him to remember it.
“Are you in a hurry? Is your husband already home? He never comes for you” I sit up straight in my seat. What he says is true. Liam apathy towards me increases day by day, it shows that he is not happy and he doesn’t hide it one bit
“Well I’m not justifying him, but he has a lot of work at the hospital” Albert smiles sideways. He knows it’s just a silly excusa, because he cant work twenty four hours a day. What is certain is that he spends too much time in the hospital
““How about you join me fat dinner and tell me about it?” I remain silent, because I don’t know what to answer him. It’s boring to come home to no one waiting for you plus having to cook something or definitely end up buying food. He realizes that I’m besitming and that makes him smile broadly. “Well, since you don’t say anything. I’ll take
es him keep doing, and a short time later, we are arriving at a nice restaurant. They show us to a table a little away from the entrance. It seems that my boss is known here because he is treated specy
What do you feel like eating?” he says as I look at the menu. Im hesting so the water suggests some specials, of which accept
When the water leaves, my boss sits down and watches me His gaze makes me nenmus, but I try to keep my composure.
“So it must be dich being a doctors wife The start of the conversation gives me the opportunity to tell him what it’s like living with a surgeon. They have no ide, and they can be called at any time. It’s frustrating to live like this; Limagined that life would be fun like when we lived together at home. But the reality is that the more famous he becomes, the less time he has for me
“I understand. My cousin is also a doctor and he is never home. That must be why his wife cheated on him lower my gaze, it is an uncomfortabile subject. I don’t wan to ask him about it, but I know he’s waiting for me to say something
“Well, sometimes it’s not because of their profession, but because of a lack of love on the part of one of the parties When I say that, I feel his game deepen on me
“Could be And you, Maria Would you be capable of cheating on your husband? Do you love him very much? The water approaches with a bottle of wine, and pours us each a glass. I take a sip of my drink, avoiding answering his question immediately.
“Of course love him, that’s why I married him. And no, I wouldn’t cheat on him” A grimace appears on his face, before he drinks the contents of his glass in one pulp Duning dinner, we avoid returning to the subject, talking about things from the office and a 19tle about his personal life. He’s a nice guy. At the end I look at the time and it’s. already past ten o’clock at night.
“I think I’d better go” Albert nods and asks for the chark. We don’t take long to leave, and we get in the car. I give him my address and the chives in silence. Shortly before arriving he parks on the street and turns off the car. He remains silent, but after a minute, he turns to me and looks at me intently I don’t know what to do at that moment.
so I remain still,
You know Mars. You are
You are a very beautiful woman. Since I first saw you haven’t been able to forget you, and the memory of the kiss we shared doesn’t help remain still in my seat as he takes my face in his hands. “Can I kiss you?” Since I don’t answer, he assumes that i am authorizing it, so he brings his los to mine in a kiss that starts out soft, but ends up being demanding. I decide to stop and push him away.
This is wrong. I’m going to get out” When I’m about to open the door, he takes my hand and stops me.
If you wanted, I could be very nice to you, I like you a lot. I’ll be waiting for your answer I don’t answer him, just close the door and walk towards the apartment complex
where I live
When I open the door, the lights are off, a sign that my husband has not yet arrived. I go to the bedroom and take off my shoes and clothes to put on something more comfortable. I lie down on the bed to think. My days are so lonely. Just like today. I have no company whatsoever. Liam hasn’t even texted me to let me know he won’t be home early.
This is becoming unsustainable. I know his job is very demanding but he’s pushing me aside without even trying to make this work,
Hahaha, and to think that for a long time he insisted that I fight for what we had. What did we have? Loneliness and apathy?
I’m about to close my eyes when my cell phone screen lights up. I take it to see what it is.
Thank you for joining me for dinner. I hope it won’t be the last time
A hint of laughter appears on my face I was wrong. It wasn’t that my boss wasn’t interested in me, but rather that he was apparently waiting for the right moment to make his move. Well, we can play for a while. It’s not like I have to give in to his requests. But I can enjoy his compliments for a while.
With that in mind, I close my een
Tarve home and everything is dark I forgot to charge my cell phone during the last operation had, which took me longer than scheduled, so I didn’t let Maria know that I

would be late and preferred to come straight here
I turn on the lights and see everything in silent. Apparently she didn’t have dinner or buy anything outside. I’m a little ones i from the refrigerator and when I’m done, I go to the bedroom.
want to cook, I take a piece of frun
I don’t want to disturb her because I see that my wife is sleeping, so I go to the bathroom to change my clothes. After cleaning up, I go straight to bed
1 be down on my side and put an arm under my head I still don’t understand what’s going on. I’m supposed to have fought so hard for this woman to be my wide, yet now that we’re together, neither she nor I feel happy.
Perhaps I should seek professional help to clarity my feelings. It is not normal that, being newlyweds, I cannot manage to make the woman i swore to love years ago and for whom I left everything aside happy
I miss my parents. Maybe if Halk to them, I can make things better. Maybe I unconsciously blame myself and Maria for Mom and Dad’s rejection.
I see her sleeping peacefully. She is still 100 young. Tremember the little girl who came home, who came to me looking for my low and protection During my childhood, Annie didnt make it easy for me and always made me feel like a fool, weak and easily debated My self–esteem was not the best thanks to that little troublemaker But when that little blonde came to my house and showed me that i was the most powerful person to her, I was immediately drawn to her admiration, Maybe that’s what made me notice her and not Annie. But I can’t deny that in the months that Annis and I were a couple, everything we had experienced before was in the past. She acted like the best girfriend I can complain about that.
Lose my eyes and begin to drift off to sleep. Anne’s laughter and joy come to mind.
Crybaby. Come on, catch me and give you a prize.
“What price are you going to give me, Ann
“A very special one. I’ll give it to you when we’re older
“Older? How much older?
“Old enough to get married
“But I’m not guiling married, I’m ände.”
“Silly boy, one day you will grow up and we will get married. And then I will give you
the prize
beat the butterfly.
Lopen my eyes again. Thad forgotten that memory, but suddenly it came to me. She never told me what that prom was. I smile as i remember the
Annie I hope you’re okay I say to myself, before closing my eyes again
