THE STORYBOOK

H7: PARTE 1 (ENGLISH)

SECRET LOVE

That afternoon the wind roared as it had not done in months. The streets, because of the approaching storm, looked empty ... abandoned to their fate.

Suddenly, from the shadows of an alley, a young man emerged. A man who ... with tears in his eyes ... was running without looking where he was going.

"It can't be ..." Earth told himself as he tried to erase from his mind what he had just seen in a room of his own house. Specifically in the bedroom of the house he had been sharing with the love of his life... with his fiance Sam.

But he was finding it impossible as the moans ... the vision of those two intertwined bodies ... the grunts that were escaping from their mouths while seeking greater pleasure, were still in his ears and in his mind ... making him unable to stop crying.

"And to think that only one week has passed..."

The truth was that, for several days already, he had to leave the city because of a last-minute job and ... having finished earlier than planned ...  he had decided not to say anything to Sam and surprise him with a very special dinner.

"And, in the end, the surprise has been given to me..."

The young man laughed while, not noticing a small sinkhole in one of the tiles, he ended up slipping and falling on the floor.

The bags he had been carrying around, where was the cake and the gift he had bought for his cheating boyfriend, ended up scattered on the sidewalk and at the mercy of the strong wind and the raindrops that, for a few minutes already, had begun to fall from the cloudy sky.

- "Damn it!" - he exclaimed, unable to control himself any longer.

As, once again and since the beginning of his own personal nightmare, he cursed himself for having forgiven him the first time ... for having, once again, believed in his lies ... in his words of love and loyalty.

"He will do it again ...", some family members and all his friends had told him before but ... he had ignored them.

He had trusted him and ... this was the consequences.

- "Are you ok?"

Earth abruptly raised his face, watching completely surprised, how a young man ... younger than him because of his way of dressing, was looking at him with a worried expression on his cute face.

An umbrella, of a beautiful red color, was shinning under the lampposts, making the boy ... because he could not be more than a boy ... look like an angel that had come down from the sky.

And he must be exactly that because ... not only he didn't seem to mind his silence but, ignoring it, he had started to lean down in order to pick up some of his belongings, still fallen along the sidewalk. All this,specially , while leaving his umbrella over the head of Earth, thus preventing it from getting wet under the rain that, at that time, was falling fiercely from the sky.

- "I do not think that the cake can be saved ... especially when the package is made of cardboard but the gift... perhaps it can still be saved ..." - commented the boy while biting, slightly, his lower lip - "by the way, my name is Night ... "
