She is the Queen

Chapter 11

I had already devoured the first two volumes of one of the greatest economics books in history. Karl Marx's classic work had captivated me, and I knew I couldn't leave it behind. It was going to be part of my escape plan.

I made my way to the living room, finding solace in the familiarity of my surroundings. The window in front of me held a secret power. With a simple coin, I would leave the window unlocked and my plan followed with a slight adjustment to the angle of the camera, ensuring that it wouldn't be noticed or hinder my plans. Settling down in front of the window, I felt a surge of excitement as I opened the book once more. The words on the pages carried weight and meaning, resonating deep within me. 

Before I knew it, it was dinner time. I went to the table and sat down, Andrea was already there waiting for me. Andrea, had an air of mystery about him. There was something intriguing and captivating in his presence. As we conversed, I couldn't help but feel that if our circumstances were different, we could have been good friends or perhaps even more.

"Did you like the book?"

"I actually liked Volume Two the best, but of course. I mean its Karl Marx after all. He is the father of the economics." I was really passionate about him.

"I've heard that you are going to study Economics in Harvard?"

"Yeah and psychology."

"Double major?"

"Yes."

"Why psychology?"

"Well there are many things I want to study, I wanted to tick psychology off of my list early. Also, it comes handy with the kidnapping, don't you think?" And I winked playfully.

He laughed, genuinely. He was cute.

"Laughing fits you, Andrea."

When he laughed his eyes were smiling and wrinkled. It was so adorable. His teeth were like shining like pearls.

"What else do you want to do?" He asked intrigued.

"Hmm, why would I tell you? Are you interested?" I was teasing him. It was nice talking with him like this.

"Yes, I am."

"First of all I can't wait a company my mother had left for me. I have huge plans for it, I have been planning everything. You can't imagine how excited I am but I still have to wait to turn 21." 

"Tell me more about your dreams."

"Also I have been working on this app for 6 months which I will not tell you what it is about but when it will be released I am sure you will know about it..." then I winked.

He laughed as his head fell back, then he got serious as his eyes turned dark.

"Common, what kind of app?"

"You will have to wait and see."

Then I noticed how little I knew about him, so my eyes widened.

"Mr.Garavelo you must tell me about yourself and your plans too. It may sound silly but what is your biggest dream? All we did was talk about me."

He looked confused yet pleased about my interest.
"Well, I like talking about you."

"Yeah, but I don't know anything about you."

"Oh I see. Are you interested in me?"

"Whatever sails your boat, Captain. If we have met in a different situation and time, I am sure we would friends perhaps."

"Friends?" He soured his face.

"I don't have friends." He said as if the word 'friend' was acid on his tongue, "I have associates and lovers. And more frankly, I don't want to be friends with you. "
