Chapter 42 I Want Everything From Her
By Alejandro
I greet my cousin, we don't see each other often but I have a lot of affection for him.
Daniela was also there, Ana's cousin.
And Manu, another one of my cousins.
Valeria had dinner with us, of course, she's practically family.
I made the proper introductions.
I notice that both Pedro and Manu can't stop looking at Vale, and it's driving me crazy.
They know the history with my secretaries.
Daniela was looking at me and occasionally at Valeria.
When my father comes in, after greeting everyone, he approaches Valeria and gives her a hug, congratulating her on her degree in business administration and asking how many accounting courses she had passed.
I felt awful, I didn't know she had graduated, much less that she was taking more courses at the university.
At that moment I remember that Emi, on the day of the meeting with the directors and managers of the temporary shelters, said that she had a degree in administration and was taking accounting courses, I assumed she said it to gain respect.
"Thank you very much, Francisco."
"I also have a degree in administration," said Ana.
"But she graduated at 20," my aunt adds, very proud, and as I thought, Valeria seems like her niece or her own daughter.
"In February she took four accounting courses and passed them all," adds Susana, also very proud.
By now everyone must have understood that Valeria is the darling of our company.
I'm upset with myself, I didn't find out about any of this.
That tells me I'm not that interested.
I breathe a little easier.
I also have to confess that I was filled with pride knowing that she has already graduated and is taking accounting courses.
I don't know when she takes classes, of course, in February I was on vacation.
That's why she told me she only went to the coast for two weekends.
Daniela makes a derogatory comment in German and I see Vale smile.
She doesn't know German.
My mind races, recalling conversations, to see if Valeria knew German and I can't find any moment when she told me she knew German.
I see my aunt Mariana and Susana exchanging complicit looks.
Right... my father once told her to study German, that we would pay for the course.
Unless she does it on Sundays, she didn't have time, and she spent half of Sunday with me at my father's house, having lunch with Susana and my aunt.
I feel that she is indeed the apple of Susana's and my aunt's eyes.
I let Daniela talk nonsense.
Although at one point they saw Vale's smile and shut up, I don't know how much Vale understands German, but what they said she understood perfectly, I know every one of her gestures, even if I don't know what she does or what she studies.
It's that the gestures, especially those fake smiles, are generally directed at me.
She would give them to me every time I said something she didn't like, or when she announced some woman to keep me... company in my office, and they were more noticeable when I asked her to send a card to one of the girls, saying something sexually pleasant.
Her smile was different when she took a woman out of my bed.
Although it wasn't the true smile that I love from her either.
We stayed chatting until not too late.
We were all tired from so many hours of flight.
The next morning I see her in the dining room having breakfast with my aunt and Susana.
She didn't wait for me to have breakfast together.
The maid brings me a cup of coffee and adds sugar.
I practically spit into the cup.
"Who served me this crap?" I ask angrily.
"I'll serve you," said Valeria, getting up to prepare what I wanted.
She served me the coffee and added sugar.
Now it tasted better.
She also made me toast with jam, because when one of the maids approached to do it, I glared at her.
"Who handled my clothes?" I ask rudely.
"I did, sir."
"No one can touch my clothes, Vale... Why didn't you do it?"
"I'll check now."
I smile contentedly.
I see my cousin and his wife at the dining room door, I don't know how long they've been there, but they're listening to my complaints.
They sit down and the maid attends to them both.
"Vale, I want another toast with jam."
Valeria makes it for me.
We chat for a while and I ask Valeria to bring me a tie and not to forget to arrange my clothes.
She goes to my bedroom and brings me the tie. I stand up and she puts it on me, tying it just the way I like.
I place both hands on her shoulders and lean in to kiss her, when I notice everyone is watching us.
I stop, but I kiss her on the crown of her head.
"Now let's go to one of the companies, and later, arrange my clothes. Tell the maids that you'll be the one changing even the sheets."
"I'll tell them."
"Bring your notebook."
"I already have it ready, I'll talk to the staff and be right there."
The two of us left, my cousin drove us in his car.
We had a meeting where Valeria participated, as she always did.
Pedro is surprised at the importance I give to my secretary.
My father arrived and asked her something quite specific, which Valeria answered without hesitation.
Valeria toured the company alongside my father; it was as if he had kidnapped my secretary.
When we were returning in the car, I complained that she had abandoned me.
"Ale, I was with your dad."
"I know, but you're my secretary, not my father's."
"Ale... don't be like that."
How could I tell her I was jealous of how the managers were looking at her?
I want her to be mine, and I'm getting tired of her not being so.
I pulled over the car before reaching my father's house, just to kiss her. On one hand, it excites me a lot, and on the other, feeling her lips and skin calms me down.
I'm thinking she has an effect on me similar to a drug.
She responded to my kisses and I calmed down.
I'm going crazy.
We had lunch with my father, my cousin Pedro, and three managers.
As soon as we arrived, Valeria arranged my clothes.
Otherwise, I can't find anything... even though she decides what I'm going to wear.
It was early and the day was quite hot.
We decided to spend the rest of the day at my father's pool.
Valeria looked at me, not knowing what to do.
I knew Ana and Daniela wanted to leave her out.
"Come on, Vale, we have nothing to do until tonight."
"Yeah Vale, Emi told me she added bikinis and even extra clothes that you didn't want to bring."
Since when does my aunt talk to Emi?
And more... since when does she know her?
I say nothing.
Valeria got a pair of swim trunks for me.
I told her I'd wait for her at the pool.
When I arrived, Daniela asked if we could spend the night together.
I was about to say yes when I saw Manu looking toward the balcony door, his mouth almost hanging open, practically drooling. I turned my head and saw his expression was because Valeria had entered.
She approached us and when she took off the robe that was covering her, even the girls looked at her, though they did so with envy.
Pedro and Manu couldn't stop staring at her greedily.
I was trying to control an erection.
I wanted to hide it, so they wouldn't look at her the way my cousins did.
I indicated for her to sit next to me.
"Ale, you didn't answer me... Are you coming to my room tonight?"
Damn, how indiscreet.
"We could do a swap."
Pedro suggested.
"Are you going with Daniela and I with Ana?"
I asked, almost angrily.
"No... Valeria, what do you think?"
"About what?"
Pedro stared at her without answering and then looked at me.
"About swapping partners."
Ana said with a very fake smile.
"Everyone can live as they want."
Valeria replied without answering the specific question. It's true, no one mentioned her.
"Do you want to do a swap tonight?"
Daniela asked her, almost rudely.
"Are you asking me? I don't have a partner and I don't have casual relationships either."
Everyone looked at her and I smiled.
Then they looked at me; they must think Valeria is lying.
"We'll sort it out tonight."
Manu said, to end the moment.
The maid brought us some drinks and I asked Valeria to hand me a soda. I regretted it the second she stood up, as Manu and Pedro stared at her, practically trying to undress her with their eyes.
I also got lost in her butt and legs.
She handed me the soda and I leaned close to her ear.
"You're almost naked."
I complained.
"Ale, we're at a pool, the girls are dressed the same as me."
I stood up and led her a few steps away so no one could hear us.
"You can't show up like this to turn on my idiot cousins."
"Do you want me to leave?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Decide calmly who you're sleeping with tonight."
She put on that robe, said goodbye, and left.
