"You o-okay, Carli?" Bill's voice spoke up from behind me, "Just enjoying the water Billy." I told him, swimming closer to him.
"You sure?" He asked uncertain of my reply. "Yeah, just didn't want to be getting in the way." I told him sadly. The conf...

°Carlita's POV°
"Miss Horner, I expect all documents on my desk by the end of the day!" My wonderful boss yells from down the hall, I really just felt like banging my head against my desk, or to yell at everyone who dares to make me do their work as well, but I couldn't, because i couldn't loose my job, i have worked too hard to get where i was today.
It's true that everything doesn't get handed to you on a silver platter, I still remember in my university years where I had different jobs, just to survive it wasn't fun and yet I did it.
I stared at the pile of work I needed to get done, I could only take a deep breath and start doing it, by the time I was done, most of my coworkers was already gone, and it was dark out.
I collected all the documents that the boss wanted, leaving it on his desk, i caught sight of the photo of his family that always on his desk. It made me feel kinda sad, since I was forty, but I had no husband or any children, my brother started thinking that I was a lesbian, but that wasn't the case.
Deep down, my gut kept telling I shouldn't get involved with anyone, because for some strange reason I feel like I made a promise to another, but i had no memory of ever doing something like that, so instead of finding someone to keep by my side, i just worked every single day.
On my way home, I had a sickening feeling entering my body, sending a chill through my spine, I had to stop and take a minute, no sign of danger near me, that little experience and me running home as quick as possible.
I didn't live alone, Alex has made me move in with him and his family, afraid i would really end up dying alone, and it didn't help that his wife, Liliana, was the kindest soul you would ever meet.
"Hey guys." I greeted them as I took a seat at the table, I got greetings and smiles in return.
"You came home later than usual." Alex points out, it always surprises me of how he pays attention to everything I do and say.
"Yeah, my boss gave me a motherload of paperwork that I needed to finish by the end of the day, so I had no choice, but to work overtime." I informed him enjoying the food that was prepared.
"Dad almost got excited, thinking you were seeing someone." Sofia points out, making the male glare at his daughter for ratting him out.
"Oh really?" I ask, staring at him questionably, he almost ended up choking on his food.
"We all know you aren't capable of being in a relationship." Alex states, covering for himself, it had all of us in a fit of laughter.
After dinner, I helped Liliana clean, I took a shower and got into bed, and like any other night I found myself staring at my hand, at the cut I can't seem to remember getting and yet I had it, until I fell asleep.
