*After a long day, I arrived home. Finally. But I am not gonna rest. I can't. I have to make a plan. I need to do something with Stephie. No. Jorge is the one I should stop, not her. But if I don't get rid of her, she will never clear me the way. Ugh! I don't even know what she wants! Does she want him? Or just something in his house? I bet Jorge will be looking for her from now on. And I need to do the same. If she wants something else than Jorge, that is fine I guess. If we want the same, I must win.*

...

*When I got to work, Stephie was standing at the cashdesk. When I looked at her, every word she said at Jorge's house flashed in my head. I will never look at her the same again. I passed her slowly as she stared at me too. When I arrived at the kitchen, Mechi jumped in front of me, not letting me pass.*

M: Good morning to you too Mechi

Me: So?

M: So?

Me: I saw how long you two were looking at each other with Stephie. Tell me, what happened?

M: Nothing happened.

Me: Don't lie

M: ...I am not lying

*She looked behind me, at Pepe who was trying to ignore us. I knew he was laughing inside. He was happy because he was right. Pepe knew this all was gonna happen.*

Me: Hey, I see you Pep. Why don't you go out and check out the customers?

P: Okay, anything for two young ladies

*He passed us with a smirk and disappeared behind the door.*

Me: Now you can tell me the truth.

M: Uhm... I... I talked to Jorge

Me: And?

M: Well, he explained everything and we are good

Me: What did he tell you?

M: That it was a misunderstanding. Mechi, I guess you overheard something because they weren't on a date. He needed help with something

Me: Help? Jorge doesn't need help. He needs a girl. Two girls in this case

M: No, he asked her about the products we have here. Because... his friend wants to start a bakery

Me: I don't believe it. You do?

M: Yes, yes I do. They did nothing else than talking.

*I feel bad. Really bad for lying to Mechi. But she is not really the one who should know about my and Jorge's life.*
