Catch me if you can

chapter 19

Martina

*Another day at work. No, another embarrassing day at work. I won't be able to look at Pepe without thinking about his feelings.*

Me: Hi

M: Hello

*I smiled at Mechi while helping her with cakes*

Me: He told me everything

M: I am so sorry but-

Me: Don't be, you already said you are not sure about him and you. But Pepe is devastated.

M: I tried to talk to him

Me: I know. Pepe needs some time. You know Martina, I didn't know Pepe would fall in love with anyone because he is a picky person.

M: And when he finally did, it was me and I ruined it all. Do you think he will ever forgive me?

Me: Of course he will. Now tell me, you and Jorge are rogether since when?

M: Uh... a few days

Me: You should keep an eye on him. So handsome guys like him aren't everywhere

*She muttered and winked at me*

M: Hey, hands off him

Me: Don't worry, I have no chance against you

M: Yeah, it's hard having me as rival

*We looked at each other before bursting out in laughter. As the door shut, we stopped and looked at the person who came. Pepe was walking past us without mentioning anything. He went to the other side of the kitchen and did his job quietly. I can't see him like this.*

M: Pepe, can we talk?

*He didn't answer and left to the coffee machine*

M: Please

*I heard his sigh and footsteps trying to move away from me but I was faster and grabbed his arm, turning him to face me.*

M: I want to tell you everything

*He let out a laugh and rolled his eyes.*

M: Look at me

*His grayish eyes looked at mine and I saw betray. And sorrow.*

M: I am sorry for being selfish and hurting you. I feel as bad as you and if there is anything I can do, tell me

*He watched me with a serious face for a while but then laughed again, ruffling his hair from perfectly combed to a mess all over his face. His eyes turned darker somehow. This isn't the Pepe I know.*

P: There is nothing you can do. At least you tried. Now let me go

*He said and I let him go. What... what should I do...*
