Chapter 25: My shinin moment in her eyes

\- What? It's worthless to see, I was in the bathroom waiting for the skinny girl and she was the one who spoke to me, I told her that I liked her hair, but not as a compliment but because she really had it. . with style, not because I was flirting with him – He added while remembering that scene. Apparently he had another friend who he also called skinny.

\- -She told me that you were flirting with her, and that you had asked her for a joint - I looked at her intently. - ...that you asked her for her number and that they were almost kissing - I added, shrugging my shoulders.

\- That?  She asked me if I had a joint, she asked me for a joint - Notice how her eyes investigated me looking for the disapproving look. - I told her no, and she told me to let her know if I got one. - She added

\- She was the one who invited me to dance, I said no and she insisted and we did a kind of funny dance in the bathroom, that was it, after that the skinny girl came out and I went with her - She added firmly.

\- And why didn't you dance with her? – I asked.

\- Why didn't I like it, I didn't want to, in fact that night I hardly even danced, the skinny girl was with her girlfriend, and Enma was spiteful, I danced alone almost all night until they asked me to dance.

\- I understand - I added, taking a sip of my Nestea.

\-And why don't you study in Mérida if your family and friends are from there? – I wanted to know I was surprised.

\- -I know, but I already studied in Mérida, I studied music, then I went to San Juan to study medicine, in reality I don't like my career... - There was a silence - I studied it for my mother... - I looked down almost as if she closed her eyes- She feels very proud of me and I don't want to disappoint her.

\- Don't you like your career? How can you study something you don't like?  - I asked him surprised. Suddenly I felt terrified of her, I never agreed with those people who worked and practiced something they didn't like. He felt admiration and pity for those wrong chronopios of the world.

\- Well, it's not easy, but my mom gave me life, she is the person who loves me the most, I owe it to her so it's the least I can do for her. – He said drinking from his glass.I felt great tenderness for Rocío, she was really adorable, I thought of my mother and my foster aunt whom I called mommy and she asked me if I would do something like that for them. Ro was passionate about music and had given it up for his parents. Rocío was a box of surprises, full of emotions, metaphors and feelings covered in a beautiful silver layer. What I didn't know is that all the evils were also hidden in that box.  We finished eating and took the elevator to go to the travel agency. He had taken off his jacket and I could see his strong, golden shoulders. Rocío walked in front of me.  At that moment she looked through the glass of the elevator towards the street and I could see her back. His back like a beautiful ocean cast in frost, filled with thick and shiny frost. That shine that blinds you and invites you to swim in it.The elevator did not stop on the ground floor despite having pressed the button but continued to the basement, the door opened revealing the parked cars, a deep silence reigned among the vehicles. No one came in. Then she looked at me, and looked at my lips almost like a reflex “Oh my God” Had she thought about kissing me? The elevator doors closed again. It would have been totally inappropriate for me to throw myself into her arms and kiss her, I still wasn't sure if she liked me, I was very confused. He had told me days before that he liked me and thought I was pretty, but now we were face to face, maybe he didn't find me interesting as I spent most of the lunch in silence, or maybe the light didn't favor me and I looked ugly, I probably didn't like him. She looked sexy, maybe she had fallen out of love with me, while I was thinking of all the reasons why she couldn't kiss me, reject my kiss in the elevator and make that the most awkward moment of my life, the elevator door opened again and we arrived. to ground floor.

I took her arm and we went out into the daylight again, she put on her sunglasses and we walked along the sidewalk, people hurried by, many were late after lunch time to their jobs. I crossed my arm inside his and indicated with my steps where we should walk.  I was always very affectionate, I loved taking my friends by the arm and when it came to my sexy stranger, who was no longer so unknown, I felt like I was on clouds of cotton walking next to her. She felt comfortable with my gesture because she noticed how she was pressing hard on my arm. We went into the travel agency and asked for a ticket for Monday of next week, they only had availability for Wednesday. Rocío worried that she would not be able to travel.
