Playing my cards right

Chapter 16

We both left the room and we were waiting for the elevator. I felt very ashamed and could not look James into his eyes.

Even though I felt like he was looking at me and waiting for me to see him too.

We were outside the hotel and were waiting for the car to come and take us to a place where God knows where. A few minutes passed and we were still waiting.

James was so angry.
Come on James,let's walk.— He looked at me strangely.

Me,walk..no chance Trixa!
Okey then,if you don't come with me,i will walk by myself alone.

Go ahead then,because i will not come.
As I start walking,I was feeling James presence behind me. Without understanding and without wanting,I start smiling.

We were walking about 5 minutes,without talking with each-other. Unexpectedly he start talking.

We don't even know where were going Trixa.
I didn't answer him,i just keep walking.

James was so angry, I understood it from the way he breathed and from the way he looked at me.

We had walked for almost half an hour, until I saw the most beautiful view possible. In front of us was such a large cathedral which gave a warmth.

Oh my god James,this is the best thing i have ever seen.

He grabbed my hand and he accompanied me towards a rooftop bar,where I could enjoy the view.

This place is marvellous James! I could live here and enjoy this view every night.

For a moment I was forgetting everything that had happened before...all I wanted was to relish this moment.

We ordered a drink he start asking me.
So Trixa tell me about your family and yourself.

Hah-i start laughing.
Like you don't about my family...

I just want to hear it from you Brunette.
Okey Mister James!
I am from USA.My mom is from London and my dad is from Texas. They meet together when they were in university.They got married in London and then i was born there.

I stayed In London until i was 5 years old,after they decided to go in New York. We have lived there until i got 15 years old.Then i told them that the best birthday gift was if they sent me to London again.

Why do you love London that much?
I don't know,it just makes me feel good here.

Four months ago they went to New York again,and I stayed here,plus that i had to go to school and I couldn't leave it.

Well why were you working at the casino?
Uhh...I wanted to earn money for college,for myself more.I don't want nobody's help.I wanna reach my goals by my own.

What about you James,tell me about your family and yourself.
No!—What?
I said No,what don't you understand.

People were looking at us.
Stop it James,don't make sense all the time.I just asked you a question.

He start walking and leaving me there.
I followed him,until i was tired...
Hey stop! Why are you always such an a**hole?
Why are you arrogant?

Me,arrogant? Never say that again.
You can't stop me James...yes i can Beatrixa and i will do that soon.

No you can't,you can't control me,i can do whatever I want and without your permission.

Get in the car Beatrixa.
I don't want to get into the car with you.
GET IN THE CAR RIGHT NOW!!!

I get in the car but not because i was scared of him,I just didn't want to make a scene anymore.

He closed the car door,and he didn't come inside with me.
