Chapter 131: CHAPTER THIRTY''SIX

Santiago Romero.

08:00 '' Casa do Romero '' Bogotá '' Colombia.

I woke up feeling a huge headache, it felt like I was going to explode from so much pain.

“Shit! ''I put my hand on my forehead.

I managed to sit up in bed with difficulty and looked straight ahead.

So it wasn't a bad dream, she actually remembered everything.

I run my hand over my face trying to control my emotions, but it's very difficult.

'' Shit!

The damn tears fall down my cheeks again, I take a deep breath trying to contain the tears.

That's what comes from loving someone, you suffer when they leave, I'm alone again in this dark place.

I heard knocking on the door.

'' Go away!! '' I shouted to whoever was knocking on the door.

'' I'm not leaving, Santiago. '' I heard Thomas's voice on the other side.

'' Go away Thomas!!! I want to be alone!!!

'' I won't let you drown in this sorrow, she wouldn't want that.

'' Don't talk about her!!! '' I shouted angrily.

I don't want to hear it.

'' Santiago, she loves you, she just forgot those feelings, but she still loves you. You can make her fall in love with you again.

I shook my head.

' I'm not going to arrest her. She is free. '' I said and lay down on the bed again, burying my face in his pillow.

You are free, my love.

'' Santiago!! Stop thinking like that, Valery loves you, try to win him over''There again, don't stay in that room forever, my friend.

'' Just leave me alone!

He didn't say anything and I thought he would have left, but he didn't, I heard shots at the door and it was soon opened by him.

'' Serious? '' I looked at him coldly. ''Did you have to destroy my fucking door?

'' If it's necessary for you not to drown in your darkness, I'll do what I can.

'' Why do you insist on this so much? I may not even suffer in peace.

'' You can suffer, but you can also want to run after the person you love.

'' Thomas, she doesn't remember me, I could tell she doesn't want me around, she just leaves me.

'' No! I won't let you stay here to die, you're my friend, I won't leave you like this.

I said nothing more and he pulled the sheet from my body.

'' Get up, go take a shower, you look horrible.

I let out an irritated sigh and got up with difficulty, I have to do it otherwise he'll never let go of me. I walked to the bathroom reluctantly and looked at my reflection in the mirror, seeing how I'm exhausted, my eyes are red and swollen, my beard looks terrible, my hair too.

In short, I look horrible.

I managed to take off my clothes and hurt my shoulder as a result, but I didn't care much.

****

I come out of the bathroom with a towel around my waist and see him with the first aid kit on the bed.

'' Come, sit here, you moved your shoulder so much that it's now bleeding again. '' He said pointing to my shoulder.

I simply shrug without caring about the pain.

'' Stop it, stop causing yourself pain.

I let out a sigh and approached him, sitting on the bed, he took off the bandage and started cleaning while I just looked straight ahead.

There are so many memories in that room, all I have now are just memories.

'' Ready. '' He finished cleaning.

I see him going to my closet and then coming back with black dress pants and a black dress shirt.

'' I'll help you get dressed. '' I looked at him.

'' Are you going to see me naked? '' He snorted at that.

'' What you have, I also have, you like women and so do I. So I don't see any problem with that.

And he actually helped me get dressed, he even did my beard and hair.

'' Why are you doing all this? '' I asked without emotion in my voice.

'' Because you are my friend, Santiago. No friend would like to see their friend sink into depression, remember''If, you have people who care about you.

Do not say anything.

'' Come on, let's go down a little.

I follow him out of the room and we walk down the hallway.

'' How is she? '' I asked.

'' Charles said she was surprised by the hotel room. '' I managed to smile a little at that.

'' She's going to try to find a job to get out of that place. '' I said, smiling slightly when thinking about her.

He smiled and we went down the stairs and went to the dining room.

'' I'm not hungry, Thomas. '' I said as I sat down in the chair.

'' I imagined that, but I ask that you at least eat something.

I grabbed some toast and a cup of coffee and ate it begrudgingly.

'' I would prefer you to drink juice and not coffee.

'' You told me to eat, now shut up.

My head still hurts a little, I think it's from crying all night.

I just ate a piece of toast and drank the whole cup of coffee.

'' Satisfied? '' I asked and he sighed.

'' Yes, at least he ate something. '' I ran my hand through my hair.

'' You're not planning on babysitting here, are you?

'' Yes, I'm planning to babysit her until I'm embarrassed and try something with her.

I let out a sigh.

'' I love her more than you know. But you didn't see the way she looked at me, she doesn't want me around. '' I said when I remembered that night.

'' She had just woken up with her memories, try again.

I let out a sigh at that.

'' Okay, you go with me and see the way she looks at me.

I got up from the chair and left the dining room with him behind me, we left the mansion and Jonas looked at me worried.

'' Take me to the hotel where Valery is.

I got into the car and pulled my seat belt, soon Thomas got in and pulled his seat belt too.

I said nothing and just watched the landscape.

****

'' We arrived ten minutes ago, are you going to stay in the car or are you going to leave?

I let out a sigh.

'' I'd rather stay here... In fact, I'd rather be in my room right now.

'' Santiago, please, okay. Come on, get out of the car.

It doesn't even feel like I'm the leader of the mafia.

We got out of the car and my heart accelerated when I saw''As she left the building, she looked so beautiful wearing the black dress.

'' Go talk to her.

When I was about to take a step I saw a man approaching her and the two started talking, then she laughed.

That was like a shot to my heart.

I see the two of them going to the car and then they leave for who knows where.

''Santiago. '' Thomas approached worriedly.

'' It's your fault!!!

I got back in the car.

'' Go home now!!!! '' I growled very irritated.

Thomas came in and didn't say anything, it's really good, because the way I am now I could kill one.

I pass my hand over my face feeling my eyes fill with tears once again, I closed my eyes so tightly trying not to cry.

Yes, you are free to love whoever you want, Valery. But I will always love you.
