I turned around face to face with green eyes. Without a word he lead me to the door still holding my wrist. We where at the car and he opened the passenger door and went around. I stood staring. " get in Gloria" it was like my mind was saying don't do it.
Why should I but I looked at linos face and he looked at mine and it his face just softened, this killer this stern man who scared the shit out of me and does kind things and say kind thing one minute but after would not care to shot or lie. He looked done and looked back into my eyes "please chula". I got into the car and as the silence just become my friend we stoped at this store with beautiful outfit on mahicans in the windows.
He got out first and got on the side walk first and went to the door waving for me to get out. I got out walking into a store filled with designer clothes and at the cash register was the women who had brand all the beautiful dress for the pageant. She welcomed me like she did before with a nice smile as I went deeper into the store, "what are we doing here" linos looked at the women and then at me. " pick what you want chula" I went up to a beautiful red dress and felt the texture.
It was softer then I was use to. " need help with that" a skinny tall died red asked me I shook my head " I think this color would be nice on you" she handed me a red sleeveless dress "with these shoes" silver strapped heels. " the dressing room is around the corner. I looked at Lino and then walked for the dressing room. It wasn't like I could make a run for it. It not like it helped last time.
I put on the dress and walked out.looking into the mirror I reconsider a women who looked scared looking back at me. " well look at her" the women said turning to Lino who looked me up and down smiling. I continued to look only deciding one or two things including the dress and shoes. I didn't know much to do. It wasn't like I was just living my life freely and comfortably like before.
When we got back into the car I just stared out of the window sensing glances but not paying mind. We stoped again but this time on a hill showing a full view of lights from the city and stars. But I still felt a sense of unsettledness.
