Martina

*I am so tired. But still, I have to focus on my target. Jorge is smart. But I don't think he knows about my mission. I think my aim is clear. I can't become his friend, not a co-operator. I must be his lover. With this pace, I can be that in two weeks.*

J: Hi

M: Hi, so, seeing me once a day is not enough for you

J: Do you mind? Seeing me again?

M: Yeah... no, I was kidding. It's nice that you invited me out again

J: We can go to the centre. It's november, that means autumn markets.

M: Great! Let's go

*We walked to the suburb in silence, until I saw lights and little markets everywhere. I love markets, since I was eight. I might be too excited but this atmosphere brings up so many nice memories*

J: You like it here, I guess

M: I love it! Let's go over there!

*I said and grabbed his wrist, pulling him to a place with little wooden figures*

M: Isn't that adorable?

J: Pieces of wood shaped in animals? Yeah. Sure it is

M: It's hard to find something you like, right?

J: No, for example- look over there. Glass figures

*He dragged me on the other side where fragile glass figures were*

M: Oh, I like this one. Mister, I'd like this figure

*The man gave it to me and I opened my bag, searching for a purse*

J: I'll pay for that

M: No, I can-

J: I pay, period.

*He gave the man money and left, pulling me behind him*

M: Well, thank you for the figure

J: No problem, I-

M: Oh, look at that churros market!

J: Yeah, let's have some too

*He paid for the food too and sat on a bench next to me*

M: Mexican sweet

J: I know, I am from Mexico too

M: Really?

J: Yeah

M: How long have you been here?

J: Since I was nineteen

M: Wow. There's a lot of things I don't know about you

J: I think you'll have more chances to get to know me better

M:  Yeah. I hope so too.

...

J: Thank you for coming today

M: I thank you. And next time you want to see me. Don't make mess in the café please. Just call me

J: But I got what I wanted today. See you later.

*He came closer and kissed my cheek, just as yesterday. Then he left.*
