- Happy new year! – We all yelled as soon as the 12 bells sounded.


This year has gone by too fast, you could say that it has been my best year. I finally have Loli's total confidence, at home they treat me like one more daughter. For Santa Claus they gave me a pair of pajamas and slippers at home so I don't always have to bring mine from home. Since I got the motorcycle and no longer depend on anyone, I go to Loli and Jesús' house for a week to lead a normal life and the other week Cristina comes to mine. My father's schedule was changed and he alternates day shift and night shift. This week, for example, he is at home at night, so he stays in charge of my brother. Then, the next time, since she works at night with my mother, I have to be at home and that is how without thinking about it we have created a routine between both families.


- Well, family - I address them - I'm going for Cristina now - each one is with their determined family.


After saying goodbye, I get on the motorcycle and go to Loli and Jesús' house. When I arrive I congratulate everyone on the New Year and after spending a while with them I take my suitcase that I had previously left in Cristina's room and we both go to her car.


Instead of going to a disco and getting drunk, we've preferred to get away for the rest of the week and since it's part of my Christmas present, Cristina doesn't know where we're going. So I will show you the way without giving you a single clue.


. . .


As soon as you arrive you see a large cabin. It is the reception, when we get the key to our little home for a week we enter. Since there is no television, I brought my laptop so I could watch movies with the fireplace next to me and covered up with blankets. Before starting the movie, Cristina brings a couple of drinks to drink while we watch it.


We have seen half of the film and we are somewhat risqué. I am even hot. I get up from the sofa and approach Cristina until I kiss her soft, soft and warm lips. She gives me a light touch until I lie down on the sofa again and as a result, Cristina is fully on top of me. This is how our bodies end up intertwining between the heat of the fireplace, alcohol, attraction, fluids and moans...


. . .


At the end, she snuggles into my chest and without realizing it we fall asleep under the blankets and with the warmth of the fire in the fireplace in the living room. However, our sleep is interrupted when my cell phone rings.


- Yeah? - I say sleepily.


- Were you sleeping already? – Asks Aroa and in the background music is heard at full volume.


- Yes... - Cristina ends up waking up.


- Sorry. I just wanted to know if you already gave him the news - Aroa addresses Cristina.


- What news, love? I ask without knowing anything.


- Well, I had completely forgotten... - clears his throat - Do you remember the contest where you signed up last week? - I nod - Yesterday I contacted the jurors to find out how it had turned out and well... - smiles - You've won, my life! She hugs me proudly and I hang up the call.


A couple of weeks ago, an old language teacher informed me about a literary contest and at first I didn't even think about signing up, because Cristina hasn't even seen all my texts. The truth is that I don't see myself as a very good writer, so I'm ashamed and I don't show it to anyone, however, when I told Cristina about the contest, she ended up convincing me to participate.


The only thing I had to do was send 5 texts or poems and if by some remote chance I won, the publisher involved in this would publish a book about my texts or even a novel, no matter what the theme. In addition to this, they would also give me €1,200


At no time did I think I could win. I am stunned and in disbelief.


- Really? - I dont believe it.


- Yes, on the 5th they will contact you to give them the manuscript of whatever you want to be published and the money.


- What a shame, I do not believe it - I'm blushing.


- You still haven't told me what you sent...


- Everything in due time, love... - I'm ashamed, I still have to assimilate it.


Cristina kisses me and hugs me totally excited. As we are exhausted we decide to go to bed and spend a while on social networks until we completely fall asleep. Today they also did not give Cristina a day off from work, so she is more tired. Of course, thanks to this, he has been able to take more vacation days and thus be able to stay the rest of the week in this cabin. Maybe tomorrow we'll go skiing.
