Catch me if you can

chapter 18

Martina

*A slim, tall, dark haired guy appeared in the living room. When he saw me and Jorge sitting so close to eachother on the couch, he didn't bet an eyelid but his lips formed into a grin*

??: Hello

M: Hello

*He stood there in silence for a minute, staring at me.*

??: Well, I suppose Jorge won't introduce me so, hi, I am Diego

M: Tini, nice to meet you

J: What are you doing here?

D: I just came for some... things. I left the file with papers to work here

J: What are you waiting for then? You know where it is

*He stood stunned for a while butthen turned around and left to a room around the corner*

J: You gotta excuse him, he gets distracted easily

M: He is your...

J: We work together

*Oh. One of his co-operators. Before I asked anything else, Diego was back, making his way to the kitchen*

J: What do you want now?

D: Chill, just taking a bottle of water. Don't mind my presence

*He enjoyed Jorge's anger boiling as he went to the fridge slowly.*

D: So, Tini, you and Jorge are together?

M: No, we are friends

D: Yeah. Friends.

J: Could you just... leave, man?

D: Yeah, sure. Nice to meet you Tini

M: You too

*He looked at us for the last time before leaving.*

M: I... should probably go. It's late

J: Don't you wanna stay over night?

M: Nah. I will go home

J: I'll accompany you to the car

*We left his apartment and headed to the café where my car was.*

M: I gotta clarify you something.

J: Yeah?

*He muttered and took my hand*

M: Do not come to the café just to see me

J: I go there for the coffee

M: No, you go there to spill the drinks and make extra work for me

J: Okay. I promise

*He said just when we arrived at the car. He pulled me closer so we were face to face and looked directly into my eyes. I could see in his soul clearly. He's a player. And is capable of anything. But you don't know who you're playing with my dear. I kissed him quickly and then sat in my car, driving home.*
