Chapter 48
CHRISTMAS SPECIAL
Martha - things of the past daughter. Now your father is married to your mother, there's you and Aunt Annie and your mother are best friends
Ale- how crazy, I never imagined that everyone knew each other. Well, we'd better eat, right?
Luna - but it is not yet midnight grandma
Ale - We will make an exception today, beautiful. Haven't you ever heard that food improves people's mood?
Alice - I am so glad you are going to make an exception, I am starving.
Luís - How rude of a lady to talk like that. Why are you hungry? You spent too much energy dear - debauchery
Tom - Realizing what happened - Whether my wife wasted energy or not is none of your business
Luis - You're the one who's not fooling. But let's eat anyway
Everyone goes to the table - Kirstin sat on one side of Luis and Annie on the other, Luna and Matteo sat side by side, Martha sat next to Annie and Ale was at the end next to Martha. Alice and Tom stood right in front of Luis and Kirstin. The atmosphere was not the best, the children tried to talk to everyone, but always came up with their hints. Alexandra didn't know what else to do. She tried by all means to avoid a fight, but in truth that table was an atomic bomb about to explode. Tom was a little quiet, but sometimes he nudged Kirstin and especially Luís out of jealousy. He didn't know who he felt more jealous of, Alice, Annie, Luna, or even Kirstin, but meeting her again after more than 15 years moved him. Knowing that Matteo was her son with Mike, the symbol of betrayal, hurt and it hurt even more as his daughter was delighted and they would have to find a way and stay away from these people... Alice couldn't be around Alice she was going to self-destruct. He was no fool he knew the two of them had had sex his wife smelled sex and they kept eating each other with their eyes....
Annie was fine with everyone but all the time attacking Kirstin and annoyed with Tom because she noticed how upset he was. Alice was worried about what it would be like now that Kirstin was widowed, would she want to tell Tom everything? What would it be like? On the other hand, she couldn't stop at the shit she had done by having sex with Luis. She had broken her promise in three days and felt angry that she had surrendered so easily to the man she hated the most.
Ale- Kirstin darling, do you have any idea what you're going to do now that you're here? What are you planning to work on?
Kirstin - Well, actually, I wouldn't need or have to work in Mike's companies, but that's not what I want, I want to be able to exercise my career and do what he never allowed me to do. So now I will be the newest novelist for "The Shdney Morning", now I will do what I love
Tom - WHAT?
Matteo - how nice mommy, you are going to work together with Uncle Tom
Kirstin - will I?
Luna - yes auntie, my father is the editor in chief there, didn't you know daddy that auntie is going to work there?
Tom - no daughter I did not know, are you sure? Nobody told me anything and I am editor in chief.
Annie - whispers to aunt - this will not do
Kirstin - yes I do, I just spoke to Paul the owner and I will start on the 5th as soon as the end of the year holidays are over.
Luis - Look how cool it will be working together, the two of you and me with Alice. We will all be friends working together
Luna - that's great and me and Matteo will study together
Tom - there must be some mistake, nobody told me anything and I am the one who hires people
Kirstin - what's up Toninho, are you afraid to work with me? - smiles mischievously - I don't bite. In fact I would love to spend time with you
Alice - My husband does not go to the newspaper to spend time with you but to work
Annie - Why would he be afraid of you? He just doesn't have to be around traitors
Martha - Annie less! We have the children here
Ale - I think everybody is already satisfied, can we not exchange gifts?
Luna - wow my favorite time
Luis - let's all go in the living room then. Luna - I bought you a present, I hope you like it
Luna - coming from uncle I am sure you will like it
Tom - my daughter has no luxury, she is very easy to please, she is a good girl - jealous
Luis - Yes of course! Congratulations, you and Alice have given Luna a very good education, she is a very special girl.
Kirstin - she reminds me of you Alice when we were girls, very beautiful, caring and loving. My congratulations to the couple
Alice - thank you, OUR daughter is really special isn't she, my love? - stealing a kiss and hugging him
