Catch me if you can

chapter 31

Martina

*I opened my eyes and stared at the white ceiling for a while. I knew where I was and whose arms were around me. I looked to the right and saw Jorge sleeping peacefully. The only way how to keep him quiet and good. I reached out for a pillow and put it under his arms, while I sneaked out of the bed with my wobbly legs. The floor was cold and the fact that I wasn't fully dressed didn't help. I wore my clothes and started searching for something useful. I searched in the bedroom but found nothing except some old photos. Then I went to the living room and checked out the table with our drinks from yesteray and under the couch. Not a single note. What about... those rooms there. I tiptoed to the hall with three doors. I was about to open the first one when he popped out of nowhere*

J: Looking for something?

M: No, no, I was just... looking at what you got here.

J: Another rule is no wandering around my apartment, okay?

M: Yeah, sorry.

*He nodded and took my hand*

J: Let's go make some food

*Jorge lead me to the kitchen. He opened the fridge, took all the ingredients he needed and started working without my help*

M: I am here too and can help

J: No, I can do it alone. Be my company and sit down here

M: Do you know what time it is?

J: Around... eight

M: Oh no. I'm late again!

J: Calm down

M: No! Mechi said that she won't help me and that-

J: I'll take you there, after breakfast

M: No, I can't wait for after breakfast

J: Ugh. Okay then. Let's go

*We ran down to his car and he drove me to the café in silence. I didn't know what to say. After what happened last night, everything will be different*

J: Thanks for coming yesterday. See you soon sweetheart

*He said and kissed me before I left the car. Just when I slid in, Mechi warned me this is the last time and so on. But my mind was still in Jorge's apartment searching for clues.*

P: Mechi, don't even try. She is not listening to you. Just like anyone.

M: I already told you that I am-

P: You are sorry but don't do anything to change it. Not even trying

Me: Pepe calm down. She already told you that-

P: Right. Go and defend her. Because she is the important one here, right?

*He shouted sarcastically and stormed off.*
