Life-changing / La Casa de Papel

Sad truth

Raquel ran down the street, she was so late and she was sure that Silene was going to be so mad at her for showing this late. She knew that she shouldn't run, but now she just had to. Silene still didn't know about her pregnancy and the last thing she wanted was to explain herself why she didn't run. After five minutes she finally managed to arrive at the restaurant. As she walked in, she gasped. All those memories, all those memories from the unforgettable night flood in. She knew she was going to the same restaurant like she was a few weeks ago, but she didn't expect it's gonna leave so many emotions in her heart. 

She walked past the door looking for Silene. She knew she wasn't dressed for this kind of event, but once she promised her friend that she will be here, then she will. She stood there in silence just looking around when a familiar voice sounded behind her back. 

Sergio and Andrés have arrived at the restaurant earlier than others. They had to prepare everything for tonight because tonight was Andrés' night. When everything was prepared, the guests started arriving, Andrés greeted each one of them and Sergio just searched for a quiet place to sit in. He sat at the bar, the bar which brought him so many memories of him and her getting drunk like never. He ordered himself a drink and just sat there comfortably away from all of these people. He was somewhere deep in his thoughts when Andrés approached him.

"Hermanito, come with me, I think I found a match for you, she is perfect, I'm telling you." Andrés couldn't hide his excitement.

"Andrés..." Sergio sighed.

"You can't say no until you will try," Andrés smirked.

"Fine," Sergio agreed annoyed and the both of them walked towards the table which was in the next room.

"Hi." The girl smiled as she stood up.

"Good evening," Sergio greeted her politely. That woman was beautiful, there was no doubt of that, but there was something around her that Sergio haven't liked at all. It was weird because there was nothing wrong with her. She was dressed nicely she looked nice, but something didn't feel right for Sergio. They sat at the table and André left them, of course, he thought that his brother and his now date needed some time alone. 

"So..." The woman started after a minute of silence. "I'm Laura."

"Nice to meet you, Laura, I'm Sergio." He shook his head and forced himself to smile.

"Nice to meet you, too." Laura smiled again. There was another minute of awkward silence between them. "Well, I heard you are a billionaire," Laura said and everything clicked. Sergio knew why she was so interested in meeting him, she surely went after his money. He sighed as he nodded. 

"That's amazing." She bit her lower lip. Damn, she was really going after him. 

"Mhm." He raised his eyebrows as she started moving closer to him. He gulped, he didn't want to hurt her feelings, but he also didn't want to start anything with her.

"Billionaire and hot." She flirted. Sergio couldn't stand it anymore, he had to stop her. She was moving closer and closer. Their noses were almost touching as she was trying to pull him into a kiss. He was pulling back while she was still hungrily moving towards him. She almost reached his lips when Sergio finally reacted.

"I...uh...I'm sorry, but I-" He pulled away from her. He watched her nod slowly as she sat back at the chair. And there it was another awkward minute of silence, but this time it somehow lasted longer. They were just looking at each other. None of them dared to say anything until Laura excused herself to go to the bathroom.  Sergio was happy to be on his own again, he took a deep breath. What the hell just happened?! He couldn't believe that girl.
