  He spent refractory with an entry to the table that had a tablecloth that Lori did not know him.

  'Well, I imagine that as soon as you saw in the catalog of your favorite store to buy it and ran with dishes and folders matching.

  No you're wrong Jack said.

  Smells delicious as everything Jack said Lori prepares to watch a Bruschetta dried tomatoes in refractory her friend put on the table next to a basket of melba toast.

  Lori served Jack, Seth and finally to him.

  Yes, I had the opportunity to sample the delights prepared by Jack.

  Lori dropped his delicacy.

  He took a sip from his glass of wine. Seth watched confusing.

  Seth, as you will notice it is inevitable that Jack get into my affairs, excuse us.

  He cared much for each other, I can not help but feel strange, as if somehow interfere.

  One moment, I do not like the charisma of this conversation Lori said looking from one to the other. Jack, let us for a moment, please.

  I -¿Lo want love? addressing said Seth.

  Yes, do not worry 'he said.

  Jack stood not before giving Lori a warning glance to which she responded with a wink.

  'There will be need, I know we'll be great friends, you're not going to lose, you win me me too.

  She smiled, the first genuine smile of the night.

  Jack arrived with the rest of the dinner while later and breathed quiet to hear them talk of books and films and said that all would be well. In a moment Lori, she accompanied Jack to the kitchen.

  -How are you doing? He asked Jack, looked askance. Lori did not know what to say.

  Well, surviving She gave him a codazo-. Your boy is beautiful, Jack.

  chapter XXIII

  Christmas that year had come too fast. The cabinets were already decorated with cheerful motifs of the time. Lori was an enthusiastic number one of those dates, but this time personified the Grinch, brooked no lights, ornaments and see a Santa Claus on every corner. It was Dec. 23 and had not even bought gifts, the next day would have to leave early and so, when he knew he no longer find anything worthwhile, would be devoid stores. Mike wondered what to do at that time, so he missed the weather had not done much to forget. The affirmation; out of sight out of mind, it seemed a cruel lie. He lived, worked, smiling, as if in a bubble. The appointment late in the afternoon was a Silicon Valley company, which had decided to collaborate in the youth center. Lori wanted to backtrack with them, but Lucas put it very difficult, depended on her and she had created a portfolio, which in the words of Luke: "It was whoring and investors would open legs or else legs so less they open their wallets. "

  The meeting was one of the Fairmont hotel lounges, one of the icons of the city. Lucas was sitting in one of the elegant chairs located next to reception. Relief excelled in his face as soon as he saw it, he rose like a spring and walked to her. Lori was made rare to see a suit and tie, he was a very handsome man. He smiled.

  Thank goodness you arrive, these places burst me.

  Lori understood, the luxurious lobby and exquisite decor, could overwhelm anyone. The hotel, one of the most luxurious in the city, located at the top of Nob Hill, was a monument to the history of San Francisco.

  They headed for the elevators, and the door closed when a hand grabbed the door as he heard: "Wait, please" with that tone of voice, rough and domineering, a shiver went through his body hit and his first thought it was: "I have to get out of here" .The presence of Mike Donelly and suddenly materialized before his eyes that pierced like a dagger, was on edge knees. Lori Lucas looked reproaching betrayal at a glance. Distressed man, bent his face.

  Hi, Lori, do not bother with Lucas, I insisted.

  She turned her back to Lori, as the elevator rose. She had not been able to answer the greeting. He took he was not looking and embedded in his image. dark blue suit, before turning around, I saw that his white shirt and tie various colors. His unmistakable smell you installed a sensation known in the belly, breasts suddenly felt them heavy. He berated himself for silly to feel the increased heart rate and should be controlled or the meeting would be a fiasco. He stopped breathing, closed his eyes and tried to think of something else. Suddenly he felt very warm, wished shed the coat and pass all the clothes and he will be clothed ... but what the hell was I thinking? He opened his eyes suddenly and realized that Mike looked askance. He rested when they reached the floor where the meeting would be.

  They entered the room.

  Lucas introduced to the assembled executives, a blond woman in her fifties and two men one thin and red and the other overweight and balding. Lori died down while the thick coat received a waitress took off. He sat next to Lucas and Mike immediately sat down and stood beside him. Introductions were made and chatted for a few minutes. Until Lori got up to make a better presentation of the subject.

  The start of the exhibition was something daring, but Lucas had been delighted with the idea.

  Sirs said Lori, do you have children?

  All answered in the affirmative.

  -Think For a moment what would happen if one of them manifests this transformation in less than three years. The image I'll pass can hurt feelings. It shows how a boy of seventeen crackhead spoiled his life.

  Lori ran a series of images worked by one of the young, where a clear deterioration of the factions and the overall appearance showed. One of the men shifted uncomfortably. Mike had stopped looking at her, he seemed lost in thought.

  After seeing this, we know that we all have to do something to prevent this epidemic ends with our young people and the future of our nation. I will not go into detail on the subject of drugs we all know, nor moralistic speeches that
have served little. In this video I will leave it to the young people who talk about the project, which have found them there and why they need our help much.

  Lori put the video and sat down again. She felt tense and Mike did not understand why meetings like this were their daily bread and I was sure she had done well.

  The end of the video, Lori returned to the ring and continued with a series of explanations and the meeting flowed to perfection. Mike looked surprised.

  You're wonderful, fuck Mike whispered without looking at her when she sat down again and let Lucas closed the presentation.

  The meeting was a success. They made the decision quickly, would have the money for various projects.

  Thank you, Lori Lucas said while holding her excited, the elevator doors. I knew that fall.

  You're great, I already told Mike said to the exit. If you want to go anywhere the driver will take them.

  -Let's celebrate. I invite you to eat.

  I'm sorry I have a commitment Mike said.

  Lori accepted the invitation, but told him that load at home, I was tired, would ask something at a nearby restaurant.

  Mike took the limo. Lori noticed it annoying and all he wanted to do was huddle in him, stroking her brow, there was a traffic jam of cars and could stay with her until the day of judgment, make him smile, make him happy. He was going to go crazy, I wanted to touch him, kiss him, sit on your knees and kiss him to suffocate. Luckily within minutes he was in the street and the car stopped in front of his house.

  He said goodbye to dry and brusque way she and Luke, he took her hand and said:

  Thank you, it was a perfect presentation, I'm glad we're collaborating.

  With ice face, climbed back in the car and in minutes was lost in the maelstrom of cars.

  What about the tree? Lori Lucas asked as soon escrudiñó in the apartment.

  No I bought this year.

  -Sacrilege! You will burn in the pyre of hell!

  He took off his jacket and left it on the couch, rubbed his hands. She smiled and felt bad for not having put ornaments. He turned on the heating.

  Do you have ornaments, wreaths, dads Noel dancers, lights and all those things?

  Yes, there is a box around here. I thought put milk and cookies for Santa Claus quipped.

  Poor devil, put a whiskey or tequila, do not have easy bastard.

  Lori took him to the room I had to study painting in one of the furniture kept the Christmas box.

  -Guauu Are your works?

  Lucas spoke of arrumadas paintings on the wall and at that time was on the stand. A colorful abstract painting.

  -You have talent.

  -Thank you very much.

  They left the room, Lori apologized and went to his room to change. He came out wearing a tracksuit yoga, a black sweater and thick woolen socks. They sat on the carpet of the room and made an inventory of the things that Lori had.

  Lori poured a glass of whiskey Lucas gladly accepted. She decided to use a cup of tea.

  For a moment I thought you were going to reject Lori he said referring to liquor.

  'I'm an alcoholic. They are very nice Lucas said referring to the ornaments Lori left on the table.

  There was a Santa Claus sitting in a chair and several dolls, candles and a crown that Lucas put on the door. Soon the apartment sparkled with Christmas.

  Lori brought a wreath and a bag with fruits artificial aging.

  -Estírala Well.

  Yes, ma'am. You send.

  -You will see.

  The joy and enthusiasm of Lucas ended up spreading it. He wiped his hands on his pants and started working. He looked funny.

  Lori's face when they had met at the hotel, reflecting some sadness, greeted him with a smile that did not reach the eyes. He was glad of having accompanied this time.

  They're so tasty that fruit, they try to eat them.

  Lori gave a genuine laugh.

  I do not want end up in a hospital on Christmas Eve.

  Lucas got up and found on the dresser music uncdcon music sung Sinatra porFrank time.

  With deft fingers, Lori enshrined fruits to the wreath, finishing arrangement seemed like decorating the windows but with a personal touch. The thick wreath-covered fruits, held together by wire, was a beautiful ornament. Suddenly he looked up and looked at Lucas.

  Do you know if it's okay? Have you been drinking again?

  He's as good as they can be with their problems and no, he has not been drinking.

  Lori let out a deep sigh.

  I do not want more meetings like today.

  'I pleaded.

  -Do not do it anymore.

  All right, how are you going to do with the hotel bill? Sooner or later that will normalize at least a known relationship.

  I've thought about leaving the first days of January to Chicago. I will serve to focus. I'll do an art course at an art school, it lasts four weeks. I do not want to know. I think that after that month, everything will be different.

  -Seem right. I will miss you.

  Lori elbowed him.

  You're a fool Lucas Escamilla, you're going to miss the slave, slave. jokingly said, he had become a good friend.

  Lucas smiled.

  -Pidamos Pizza.

  -Perfect.

  It was the fucking hell. I did not know as he boarded the elevator and aroma hypnotized him as usual, or when glanced sideways and saw her eyes closed, concentrating on the presentation insurance. No, hell broke loose as she took off her coat and left eye a dress gray suit was like any other, nor glued or loose, long-sleeved, but did not know if it was because I missed or he was not long ago with a woman. He sat at his side as if a siren call him and was sure it had risen to be out as long as his side needed him, he was pathetic and he knew it. He should not have done. He imagined what lay beneath the fabric, flirty garters, transparent thongs and bras those that show more than they hide and suffered the heater of his life, like a teenager at the first naked body he saw. I got hard, shifted in his seat, barely paid attention and when she stood up to expose the subject, his gait horsewoman and fuckable shoes, lewd images they crossed, he above or below it, wrapping, perspiring , wanting to stop and unable to do so, his lips caressing matadors cock sucking, giving the sky. He began to sweat, one of the waiters came over and whispered in her ear that if he wished to remove his jacket. No, quite the contrary, buttoned to avoid being exposed and forced to think about disasters and diseases or simply concentrate on the subject was exposed. He avoided looking at her, but it was stupid, had traveled with hands, skin and mouth every depression, every line and curve of that beautiful woman. After the presentation, I had the urge to get up and run to the nearest bathroom and relieved somehow. The noted serious and distant with Lucas and with it, the poor devil was not to blame, had begged him to accompany them, the blame was hers alone, not to stop thinking it, not to stop seeing her in every corner of your home or remember when I was with her nieces, guilt was the damn breathlessness and pain in the stomach that had since she was out of her life, at least in the short time he could breathe. He heard her laughing at a comment redhead and recalled when that same gesture was directed at him, but the perceived duller and when he looked, it did not reach the eyes. As they left, they did not want to dismiss, wanted to stick like glue to her coat "take me wherever you want, principessa" he said with the thought, but at her expression at the invitation of Lucas knew he was not welcome. In the car was another torture, it was hard to pretend that there was nothing, act as mere acquaintances, when he'd entire tour. What the fuck had he done to deserve such punishment? Punishment of not having her, miss her punishment, punishment for wanting to retrace his steps and fix it somehow but not knowing how. Admired, he was good at what he did and the most extraordinary woman who had known and wanted it back at any price, smiled nervously, and I was like soap opera heartthrob. He took leave precipitously, because if he stayed another second, he would kneel and beg for mercy for the poor sinner. He came to the hotel s
uite and again felt the breathlessness and something else, like taking a fucking bottle and miss, but I would not, no longer, as down the anxiety, seek ways to talk to her, it was still early also solve other problems. He undressed and took a shower, he sought relief thinking of her, in her glorious breasts that wobbled when he buffeted the right and vice versa, in the feeling of being trapped inside, they never feel the same with another woman, She ran while acknowledging the love that was for the first time in his life.

  Lori decided to talk to Peter before she traveled with her group of friends to welcome the new year in Aspen, went to his office and entered announced as soon as his secretary. Peter looked up and invited her to sit. He told that at one time would serve as he signed the papers.

  Tell me, dear sister, what brings you to my cave? he asked, puzzled, almost neck set foot in his office.

  I have something to communicate.

  I'm all ears, 'he said intrigued.

  I'm going to take some time for me. -Peter He furrowed brow. I'm going to Chicago to make art course I want to do long ago.

  'No problem, if you need a few weeks, the office can do without you pointed staring at her with worried gesture, his sister was not the same for a few weeks and it bothered him that he was tight.

  They're four weeks, Peter, but I think that Lilian is more than qualified to replace me.

  Peter whistled.

  Four weeks is a long time, I thought you were talking about me-the two looked sharp, he pushed his chair back and put his hands together in a common gesture in it.

  I know it's a long time, but I need.

  Something in her tone made Peter will relate this untimely escape, with what happened with the man of flowers.

  Do you have anything to do with the cretin who is making you suffer?

  -Peter, Is none of your business, please Lori replied annoyed.

  If you leave the job one month, yes, I think it is.

  I need a break, time for me to think.
