  -I am sorry.

  It's one of the most difficult addictions. Anyway, let's recap, beautiful bride, lavish party, all happy and not have named me to the dark prince.

  Lori drinking a sip of soda, he choked on his drink. He coughed a couple of times.

  Well, well.

  Jack gave her a sharp look.

  -What?

  He will note the romp.

  'I Do not notice me.

  Jack patted the table and burst out laughing.

  Ah, then it was romp.

  Lori laughed loudly and tried for several seconds to change the subject, but Jack's gaze did not leave her.

  I want details.

  -Do not.

  Go on, tell your soulmate. Details need to fantasize with him.

  You're a pervert she said and threw a potato chip.

  -¿La Has big?

  No I'll answer that.

  Lori, told roughly what happened the night before. Contrary to what he thought, batallarla Jack stopped and looked at her seriously.

  What will happen if things do not work? What happened in the past like it or you have not checked your love life What will happen after the end of the adventure?

  -First, You are one of those who advised me to have sex with Mike, so I do not now come with your squeamishness. Second, if things do not work as we say goodbye, but I think you can not predict what will happen or save an experience for fear that is not the way you want. Lori looked thoughtful and said after a sigh: I feel bad and go on with my life.

  I love you very much and do not want to see another disappointment behind him, because he himself would "disappointment".

  Do not be exaggerated.

  Keep him what it is and do not lose perspective, is an adventure and nothing else, enjoy it as such.

  They rose from the table and went to the theaters. Lori looked at the billboard with the names of the films that were exhibited this week.

  Come, let's buy tickets for George Clooney. I heard good comments He indicated Lori - Or do you prefer Bratt Pitt?

  I'm staying with George Clooney said Jack. It has a more interesting plot.

  Although did not, just to see him, and pays the ballot sighed.

  The next day along with Lilian who was in charge of marketing, budget and study trends, took the flight to San Diego, arrived about noon in time for check-in time.

  Pearl Pharmaceutical Laboratories, was located five minutes from the city.

  The meeting was scheduled for two o'clock. They were presented with ten minutes in advance.

  The meeting room was ready. The team received the marketing area of the company. They made the presentation, listened to suggestions, gave their views and Sam Kenett end, the department manager, told them that approved the draft, within twenty four hours would hear from them. They were taken on a tour of the whole place. It was a growing company and left the meeting enthused by the success of the exhibition and enough for dinner at a nearby restaurant before arriving at the hotel while.

  Tell me something about you, working together for some time, but we know little.

  My life is very simple Lilian- replied, work, home, work.

  Lori broke off a piece of bread, buttered him.

  Is not there a boyfriend out there?

  No, 'he said curtly; I do not care that union.

  Why, you like women?

  Lilian gave a surprised laugh and Lori realized how beautiful she was when relaxing the grim expression.

  No, I have not had very good experiences, believe me I'm better off alone.

  You're too young to think so Lori She held his gaze.

  Nor So I have two years younger than you.

  Twenty-six years is to be young. Lori pursed his shoulders. Sometimes in mature more loneliness and establish an honest relationship with ourselves, if love comes, okay.

  It is true, also, there are many family responsibilities, have a special sister, is in adolescence. I travel every weekend to see her and my mother. No man holds the trot.

  The waiter put the plates on the table.

  I know the hostel has family in Napa.

  'The place has been in the family for generations, besides the hostel there is a small vineyard. Not very productive, I will undertake to pay for the education of Alice.

  I'll have to talk to Peter you to increase the salary.

  Lilian left fork on the plate.

  Do not do it, seriously, I do not want problems with it. My work is very important and I am very happy working with you.

  My brother, believe it or not has a big heart.

  No need to embellish things, your brother does not tolerate me because I girded me their standards of beauty and elegance.

  Lori stared at the woman. He had never seen her hair down, always going to work with a tight bow, her hair was reddish. Its outdated glasses, hiding a smart look dark green. She was short and petite, dressed in dark, dated and dowdy shoes tailors. The truth, Lilian was not the epitome of elegance and glamor but was talented and Lori did not measure people by their appearance. But for his brother should be another story because for him, beauty was the first requirement to relate to a woman, intelligence it was worth five before a pair of spectacular and long legs, was famous in the environment models because he had gone out with many of them. With his physique was not difficult, nearly ninety meter, blond, tan for their outdoor activities and blue eyes that were the dream of every woman. Heart hoped that Peter overcome that stage and wished a good day, a girl with a lot of gumption, I will turn the inside and out. It was high time.

  Lilian Lori suggested a visit to the salon to make them both a good cut but she vehemently refused, she said no more.

  The next day they returned to the company, met with the same people, plus two young executives in the marketing department the day before were not there. Lori as he saw them, he knew they had won another account. And it would behoove Peter travel to deal with the conditions of the contract. The company of his brother grew by leaps and bounds, though still small compared with sharks sector. Was coming afloat with great dignity, payroll had increased in recent months.

  They returned in the afternoon to San Francisco, Lori took the opportunity to advance some of the campaign youth center waiting for a date to travel to Los Angeles. They spoke with Mike exchanged WhatsApp something racy.

  The next morning, Lori came to the office rather late. He had worked late. He turned on the computer and looked at the agenda. Peter entered the office minutes later.

  Tell me the details said as he took a seat.

  Lori was dedicated to explain how the meeting had been and were receptive to all ideas. He told that in the coming days which would have to travel would be him.

  'I congratulate you, you're the best He stood up and gave him a strong hug. I do not know what I'd do without my favorite sister.

  -The Only you have.

  I know and you're very talented. You know? Already a big asset in this company and I thought, instead of the salary increase you want to be my partner.

  Lori looked stunned.

  'Well, Peter, thank you very much, I'm flattered with your offer and discuss it calmly, I do not want you to make decisions in a moment of euphoria and I do not forget that merit is also Lilian.

  He spoke over the intercom.

  Margot, please call Lilian tell him to come, thank you. Oh dear and alert them when you want to give my body for three coffees.

  The woman burst out laughing. Lori did not like to ask anyone to bring him coffee. she got up and went to the little cafe by or knew someone was going for coffee the charge.

  Lilian came a minute, went like a whirlwind, blushed when he head-on with his gaze.

  Ray! He thought Peter, as he watched with disgust, he is what this woman does not know what the makeup ?, for more than a decade that style was not wearing glasses.

  Lilian Lori waved and gave him a seat next to Peter. At the time he entered one of the young designer, who did his internship at the compa
ny, with three cups of coffee. He winked at Lori and out fast before the eyes of Peter.

  'I was telling Peter how well was the meeting yesterday and the good performance of your work -Lori looked at Peter inviting him to say something.

  Peter took his drink and left the well at the table. his tie, gesture Lori knew, was a nervous trait.

  'I congratulate Lilian, you did a great job. Peter shook hands politely smiled and looked back at Lori. Dinner with our parents today do not forget, later I send data to my secretary.

  At the time he left office.

  The women's duo looked strangely abrupt departure of Peter the office.

  -Mens.

  -You realize? you do not like me.

  'That is not, it is that listillas him nervous, he's used to go out with women who have no more than a couple of neurons.

  But they are very beautiful.

  -The Beauty tired.

  Lilian pursed his shoulders in a gesture is not my problem. She did not care the least the life of your boss, only interested perform an excellent job and get a biweekly paycheck.

  Mike quickly dispatched his affairs in Las Vegas and returned to Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon. He attended Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. He spoke with Lucas and greatly annoyed that Lori had spoken to on several occasions, seemed to have made friends, he was already regretting having given the job. Lucas rave about it. He found himself whispering, "It's mine," what the hell was happening? He had never been possessive of a woman. He met with their godchildren in the same cafeteria forever. Althea was fine, had flourished and gained some weight. He had no expression of disenchantment against the world that characterized weeks ago. They made plans for the weekend and fired quite optimistic. Not all days were like, Mike was aware that in the process of overcoming an addiction, were more bad than good morning, for it was he there as a warrior with a sword to face the difficult days.

  In the most unexpected moments, he came to mind images of what happened with Lori, tried to concentrate on his business but always returned to the same scene, she in bed with stockings garter belt and high heels, opening his arms, her beautiful smile, welcoming. He lay on it, imprisoned in the delicious torture of her sex. It is excited in the most unexpected moments and that was a fucking distraction. He did not like losing control of their emotions. His life and well-being depended on it. On Wednesday he canceled the trip to San Francisco the next day. Thursday dawned and cranky after a long fight with his emotions, he asked his secretary to set aside the ticket back to the late afternoon.

  Lori arrived at the Italian restaurant near his neighborhood where Peter had invited his parents to dinner. They were gathered at the table enjoying a snack.

  Lori greeted affectionately and fondly kissed.

  He decided to use a glass of wine, immediately, Peter ordered the waiter with a new round of drinks for them. They talked about the upcoming trip to Thailand spouses.

  Congratulations Lori Mattew said with a look of pride. Peter told us of your might. I'm very proud of you.

  Very well, said her mother Lori. Peter, tell us about your new boat Already handed him over?

  Lori quickly realized that Adele changed the subject to not follow halagándola and that infuriated her. The waiter arrived with the drinks and took to order. Lori had taken his appetite.

  You Mom, why change the subject when the focus is me? If it had been Peter would have continued until the end of dinner.

  He stopped in surprise adele liquor on the table. Mattew choked with Martini and started coughing. Peter lowered his head, appalled, knew that Lori was right and did not like the way her mother diminished his accomplishments, but had never taken sides.

  I do not know what you mean she defended Adele uncomfortable, as always felt that her daughter made a complaint or looked reproachfully. Guilt and remorse were present on these occasions.

  I think what you know-and I speak -sentenció angry. Why not worth the same to you my brother?

  Lori was not going to shut up and put the cards on the table, he had the right to pursue the subject, for the sake of it and the mental health of both, the only thing he needed was the collaboration of his mother.

  Of course you're worth the same. Where did you get this ridiculous idea that you want unless your brother? he said with disgust.

  Because so, Peter'm tired of hearing this, Peter and meanwhile that I am receiving criticism, you're fat, what happened to your hair ?, why are not you married? I do not like that guy for you.

  'As men have not done very good choices.

  -You realize? My bad choices I remember them every now and then. However, you do not remember who won the competition two years running fine arts in college. Never do you remember or not remember that my accomplishments, just remember my fault Mom, how do you think I feel?

  Adele watched silently wanting to mourn, he got up and left the restaurant. Peter was going to go after her, but her father stopped her.

  Lori knew that her relationship with her mother was difficult, with his father or Peter got along very well. Talks with a therapist on the subject had targeted something. The professional told him that the relationship between mother and daughter is one of the most complex. Sometimes the mother conceives in his own ideal or daughter wants to repair conflicts through it, can project his daughter unfulfilled desires, unfinished purposes, the best kept dreams and failures. This resents the relationship and is manifested in the lack of acceptance from mother to daughter. To overcome these conflicts must be acceptance, dialogue and forgiveness.

  -¿Lori, You could not leave it for another time? Peter said, taking the score to get up and go after her, but Lori stopped him.

  Let me go and I was no better occasion than this, sorry. It -refutó firmly.

  He found her sitting on a bench in the bus stop with a cigarette between his fingers. The temperature had dropped several degrees, mist droplets glittered in ethereal atmosphere formed by it.

  I thought you left the cigarette 'I said Lori surprised when approaching.

  'I've left, but occasionally succumb. Your father does not know, I'd appreciate you not to tell anything.

  -Do not worry.

  When I was pregnant with you, I should retire from the university and give up my dream in art.

  -Why? You would not be the first woman, who has a career, children.

  You were born premature, were sick and could not afford to hire help, your father was starting his business, it was something that was not done.

  Mom I have no fault -Lori away in his chair and looked dismayed. You are resent me.

  It was not a question but a statement.

  -Please, Lori, you're my daughter.

  That does not matter right now, what matters is what you've felt all these years.

  Lori, I cared, I had you in my arms without letting go more than a month, until I saw you could breathe normally and did not need much my heat, your first day of school I suffered more than you, I went to every presentation you participabas at school, I woke up helping you with your work of art to the work of the fall festival, I walked with you one week malls looking for a dress for your prom, you cared Lori, and you criticize from head to toe, I've always been there for you.

  Mom, we must overcome it is not healthy insisted Lori wanting to get to the bottom of the matter.

  Lori said her mother taking her hands together, I promise we'll have this talk, let me think how to approach this, I beg you.

  Lori embraced as as a child.

  Adele hugged her and thought about the blessings of her life, her husband, her children. Peter worshiped with a feeling that he still heart stopped when I looked and that was something that would never change, but Lori was like herself be thirty years ago and all his unfulfilled dream frustrations surfaced. It was time to turn the page.

  Come, let us enter the restaurant our guys should be worried Adele said as he pulled the bag makeup, powdering her face and lips painted. Lori as best he could be composed and came back to the r
estaurant. Mathew and Peter looked on them with worried expression.

  -Tranquilos, All is well said Adele took her hand and Lori.

  Thank goodness Peter blurted.

  Why is it that men will have panic emotional outbursts? he suggested Adele at the gesture of her son and husband.

  I do not know, but it's better, I think that if otherwise the human race would have died out long ago.

  Both let out a snort and proceeded to change the subject.

  They continued chatting trip and all the places you would know.

  Are you dating anyone daughter? his father asked.

  Lori blushed and sipped his wine.

  No, Dad, no one important.

  Peter wondered who the man was flowers. Apparently he was not ready to talk about it. Wanted a good man in the life of his sister, he deserved it. It would be a good wife and mother magnificent. The man who conquered it would take someone very special.

  chapter XIII

  Arriving at his apartment, he was surprised to find the room light lit and Mike dozing on the couch, I understood that would not be that day, I had commented on WhatsApp yesterday, today had not spoken or written in all day. He had removed his tie and jacket, shirt by between observed his chest, he recalled rubbing her nipples and felt his stomach right away. His face distended when he slept. took off his shoes still looking at him, not wanting to wake him, she went to the kitchen for a glass of water and return to the room could not hold on and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. He smiled a lazy smile, with that dimple loved Lori, not the desire is held and gave her another kiss.

  Hello, principessa blurted in tone whose frequency the chills up and down. I changed my flight, I hope you do not mind.

  Mike watched his expression turned off and wondered what had happened.

  No bother me, I'm glad you're here, 'as he took off his jacket, scarf and sat beside her Did you eat anything?

  Yes, I ate something at the hotel. I wanted ice cream, strawberry ice cream bought at the supermarket around the corner. What's wrong? he blurted Mike still looking at her. You have bad face. Problems at work?

  Lori looked appalled, from the restaurant and chat with her mother wanted now mourn to see the gesture worried about Mike treacherous tears began to slide down her cheeks. Not every day you enterabas your mother lived resenting you.
