Love untold Read online

  chapter V

  Mike came to Lori's birthday party at the home of Peter, ran the first days of August. They had agreed on several meetings and acted as if the outburst of her in his office had never taken place. However, he did not forget, she put him nervous and did not know why or if he knew, he was attracted, fantasized about her who would not ?, with the forbidden fruit, the sister of his best friend, the most beautiful woman and desirable place. Would burn in hell if you put a finger on But what forward to it! Although it was no longer a young girl, she was all woman and what a woman! That night was beautiful, with a black tempting dress, her hair in curls, could not help but imagine what would know his fleshy and fresh mouth, her breasts, her sex, wanted to grab her hair, bury his face in it and cursed shoes, stilettos elegant, stunning, wanted to touch them, feel them buried in his back. The meetings had not been bearable, something had changed, the tension felt in the air and a tense atmosphere breathed and he did not react in a very good way, it was by the way Lori looked as if he did not exist and then the attacked by anything from make disparaging remarks from last season to say something sarcastic about his tardiness, his character, his tastes. Peter and Nick watched the fighting like a fucking game of tennis is involved. She was not far behind, it was quick in answers and he rarely won.

  He came to greet her, gave her a kiss on the cheek that took over the account, felt the warm, soft skin, separated as he realized that Lori ceased to inspire.

  'Happy birthday' I delivered a package wrapped in gift paper thin.

  Thanks, Mike looked suspiciously wrapper. Tell me please, which is not a case of jokes or I will not find a frog or a mouse.

  Mike raised his right hand.

  On my word of honor, I hope that is your taste.

  Lori could not resist the curiosity and unwrapped the present, the box with the name of a famous brand watches stoked their curiosity. A steel and gold Rolex made his appearance. Lori was speechless. When Mike saw the jewel immediately regretted having given in to the urge to buy it. Not by value. It was expensive to give to a woman with whom he had not even lying and barely tolerated gift.

  It's beautiful, Mike, you should not have bothered.

  It's not a selfless gift. They -Permanecieron a mirándose- moments. I need you to be on time to meetings with my team, I do not use clock.

  Mike took the watch box left on a nearby table and grabbed her wrist, a shiver ran through the two. He put his watch and saw that it had been successful measure, there was no fix. He stroked her skin with his thumb, where she felt her pulse. It confused by the feelings, let go.

  She smiled and entertained the jewel as he passed a glass of champagne.

  Now want to get drunk said.

  Mike stared at the red lipstick, spoke of sensuality and eroticism.

  It's the only thing I can think to stop me like a nuisance.

  She smiled again and drank. The stomach clenched as he walked his gaze Mike's face, thick lips and piercing eyes, were a bad combination for her. That night wore gray chalk with thin stripes, white shirt and red tie. Its scent, a gentle touch to the stimulating spices. The scent of his cologne mixed with body odor, spoke of a sensual, sophisticated and dark personality.

  The arrival of her best friend Julia in the company of her boyfriend took her out of the reverie. He approached them, he realized that Mike was following her.

  They embraced and Julia gave the gift. Lori turned to hug her ear and said:

  I do not want to worry but Nick is here.

  Julia took her arm and stepped away from Frank. Frank and Julia's boyfriend Mike, fell into a conversation.

  Why did you invite him?

  A waiter came over and gave him a drink, Julia took away. Lori proceeded to explain that Mike had brought Nick, a former boyfriend. Julia just looked the environment and did not see him anywhere. Lori reiterated he could do nothing because they were the owners of the most important that the advertising company had at the time.

  Lori'm sorry friend Julia watched curiously. Has affected you go if you have affected you.

  Julia snorted and rolled his eyes.

  You're crazy replied.

  -A You can not fool me, not in vain I know since we changed the diaper and drank a bottle.

  Do not be so exaggerated, despite the concern, could not help but smile. We had four when we met.

  Well, I think that at that age still made me pee in my pants, it drove my mother crazy touched him wear diapers.

  Lori had not had to do with Nick invitation but Julia thought otherwise.

  Every year, Lori was a theme party, but for the amount of work that had at that time, had not had time to prepare than a normal party with friends at the home of Peter, who lived in the county of La Marina.

  It was a spacious and luxurious apartment, with minimalist touches, and some other detail of the model shift at the time to share the bed with his brother. Jack Donovan came up behind her and hugged her. He had not lost feet or tread encounter.

  They're the most handsome men of the place said Jack to see Nick approach the group where Mike and Peter chatted with Julia and Frank.

  Stop drooling not bring handkerchief.

  Jack burst out laughing.

  'Are you sure that no one is gay?

  -Yep.

  What a waste -Aferró Lori wrist. Nice watch.

  -Yes. Although rare, why he has given me a present so expensive ?, with some flowers, a pasmina or perfume it would have been enough.

  Jack gave him a smile and Lori realized once again how lucky I was to have him. Had everything configured a good friend.

  -Abonando The ground maybe or maybe trying to repair something. You go to know.

  -I do not think so.

  No he stopped looking at you since I entered your view and is a look: Who is the handsome that goes with it ?, will be her lover ?, Superman ?, will be the man who will make me leave the closet?

  Lori laughed that was heard throughout the room.

  Get out of here, say hello to my parents, he brings dance to some guy. Go and eat something.

  Jack snorted. Despite his homosexuality, it was not open in their demonstrations to other men. A whole irony living in San Francisco.

  -Already did.

  Lori raised an eyebrow.

  'What kid did you get to dance? If it can be known.

  I greeted-and your parents and ate.

  Mike's thoughts, going by paths hitherto unknown to him Who was the little guy who held her ?, what was missing, looking like a movie star. A possessiveness rose on him to see how he grabbed her wrist and examined the gift, his gift. I wanted to reach out and away from him, why she looked so fondly? He just gave him a kind gesture. He did that blue and purple eyes focused on him shine, would be he who will cause the look and laughter. When he laughed he lit his face like a fucking Christmas tree, it was a frank and open gesture. Peter said he had no boyfriend, maybe it was her lover. His stomach churned at the thought of imagine in bed What the hell happened?

  Within half an hour and after enduring chat with Frank, the debacle ensued, Nick quarreled with Frank's boyfriend Julia, the true man was made a firecracker sovereign, had gone drinks and was sure annoyed by the way Nick and Julia looked. Poor devil, he would have done the same. Although if I had met a woman in her bed not drooling it would walk on the other. That's for sure. The affected party withdrew and returned to normal. Madonna's latest hit was heard through the speakers. People ate and drank. The laughter and conversation had risque. His cell phone rang and went to the terrace to answer.

  Althea, how are you? -He frowned-. Calm calm. You'll leave that bottle hooker in place, just for today. Dominates the momentum, just today dear. Tell me what happened?

  The woman recounted the visit to the twins, had been fine, had led to the park and bought ice cream. They were beautiful, much higher and more weight since the last time I saw them. The woman cried inconsolably and Mike squeezed the heart of it.

  You should be happy. Think for
a moment how your life was ungovernable when alcohol and driving Proud feel you've accomplished.

  She said that on reaching the place where he lived, full of druggies and hookers, it was said that never get.

  Mike promised him a job at his company.

  Do not cry beautiful, tomorrow I will be in Los Angeles and talk. You are valuable, you are strong and I love you. I go tomorrow in your house. Althea, do not think about it, you will succeed, I know you will.

  Lori had heard part of the conversation. Mike had a relationship with a woman named Althea. The knot of jealousy came to the throat. It should not, they were nothing but bothered him greatly and went to the balcony when Mike kept the phone in his pocket.

  No hassled your girlfriend who regales jewelry other women.

  Mike surprised, raised an eyebrow.

  It's impolite to eavesdropping.

  I needed to know to what extent he had heard her and as if he had guessed her thought, she replied.

  I did not hear much if you're worried, just that you want and see that morning.

  Lori could not read his reaction.

  Althea is a friend pursed shoulders and changed the subject. It seems that your boyfriend did not like my detail.

  Lori almost bursts out laughing when Mike said boyfriend. God, Jack was going to die when she told.

  He is not my boyfriend, but is someone special and not a detail, it caused curiosity, he said it was a rather expensive gift, which is given for something or to ask for forgiveness.

  His eyes darkened. Lori turned back to the room, knew the power of sight of Mike and its effects, its image of dark man was more than enough for any woman under eighty years temptation. He grabbed his wrist. Lori turned his head suddenly and with surprise, watched Mike with sensuous gesture, stroked his palm and took the direct mouth to the pulse, rubbing the soft, warm lips, her goosebumps and accelerated heartbeat heart, tried to withdraw her hand but Mike grabbed her and stroked over the tip of the tongue, that gesture gave him a start. Mike smiled when he realized it and happy with his achievement he released her.

  Shall I ask forgiveness for something?

  Lori awoke suddenly and hid the given expression showed ducking his head. I knew he had sensed it, even tingled soft caress. He appealed to him, but could not afford to fall into that attraction and cloud her common sense. Mike still does not remember, she mused, it is not your fault, then, why resentment gripped her? Discernment and maturity of twenty-eight replied: "Because it did not correspond to my love and pass it broke my heart." Let him go and Lori, not worth it.

  No need to apologize for anything.

  He saw relief in his eyes.

  Lori went to the corner where his parents, chatted and drank champagne.

  'The dress is lovely daughter she said her mother doubling back up and down. But you must watch your weight, do a diet or increase your exercise routine Adele commented while looking at her daughter critically.

  Adele and Matthew Stuart, were a couple good avenue, the bone of contention was that Adele did not hide his preference for Peter and Lori resented that fact beyond what she wanted to admit. She had spent her life trying to please her mother, until she realized that never make it and resigned himself with quiet indifference; but it hurt, yes it hurt. Anyway they had been good parents despite their criticisms were there for her.

  Mom, the same weight three years ago was a lie weighed two kilos, but not going to give you the taste to continue with their warnings.

  Just saying it preventively, as the years pass, it is harder to lose weight and knowing your eating habits Adele concluded.

  No you pay attention to your mother. You are beautiful daughter 'said Matthew, who hugged Lori.

  Thanks Dad, I'm glad you came.

  It's amazing how the years pass without us noticing, makes were teenagers who gathered at home. They held parties for any pretext Mattew said.

  Yes, I remember, 'said Lori those good times, somewhat nostalgic.

  But you can not complain, has done well, working with Peter -the kissed on the cheek, the largest of the Stuart was proud of his children. Adele had Peter on a pedestal. He realized that that hurt Lori. He tried to correct it and scolding Adele why, but I knew the damage was done.

  'The work goes well, the company is growing every day, we feel satisfied.

  -Peter Is excellent, I guess you've learned a lot from him.

  Mattew gave her a reproachful look.

  Yes, Mom Lori said resignedly.

  Adele did not understand or did not want to understand, that the fields of action of the brothers were different; while Peter was responsible for the administrative, financial part and staff. Lori, apart from dealing with customers of all types, should create and give life to the campaigns that had earned him a lot of money to his brother. I did not want to put things in place today. I would, of course he would, and it was time. He said goodbye to them to continue to share with their friends.

  Mike landed early at the airport in Los Angeles, was not even home. He cited Althea in the cafeteria of Compton near the church, the day before had spoken to Celia and she had accompanied much of the night. Mike had also dialogued by WhatsApp with Celia during their journey to the airport.

  He stood at the door of the cafeteria, the gaze swept the place until he saw her; The girl already waiting at a table in the background. A mixture of smells that were sure the daily menu filled the room; coffee cake, cinnamon and bacon were protruding. He pushed his way between the tables occupied. After greeting, he ordered two coffees a waitress.

  -How you feel?

  -Embarrassed, ashamed.

  -Why?

  No I should have called.

  She put her elbows on the table with both hands and covered his face.

  'You must always call me, I am for you at any time of day or night Already breakfast?

  She shook her head.

  Mike motioned to the waitress approached with fast trot.

  Two plates of pancakes, bacon. Mike asked: Do you like scrambled eggs?

  She nodded.

  Two plates of scrambled eggs -The young left as soon scored the order.

  Look at you, you're a busy man, there are people who depend on you.

  -The Family comes first and you're family.

  The grateful look he gave Althea heart sank. It was so young and her eyes were open disappointment, it was a pretty brunette with something bad teeth, but did not ruined factions.

  -Believe in God?

  Yes, of course she said.

  The waitress came with two cups of liquid. Althea nervously fiddled with sugar before putting it in the drink.

  You must hold on to him. Put your will and your life in his hands.

  It is very difficult, sometimes I think I am worth nothing.

  -Do not say that.

  Althea clutched his throat.

  I have this thirst, here He was pointing his throat. Not let me, is maddening desire to drink, what would I have for a drink and know that my life is going to go to hell.

  With trembling hands, he gripped the cup. Mike listened attentively.

  -at The beginning is normal, but that feeling will disappear in some time. She looked at him and he smiled believe him. Although his addiction had not been so strong, also he felt the same as the girl. It is true. You must take care to follow the steps, not lower our guard. What time do you go to work?

  -In an hour.

  I can offer you work in one of my hotels, so you can leave where you live.

  Mike pulled out a card.

  I'll communicate with Marcia Stevens, he is a friend, she runs a foundation for single women. It will help with your new home.

  Thanks, Mike, thank you very much, I hope not disappoint.

  'I do not do, girl, I'm sure.

  The waitress arrived with the order, but he just was hungry, he forced himself to eat to enjoy his quiet Althea breakfast.

  chapter VI

  Mike watched the fog that covered the Golden
Gate late in the afternoon, as the blanket that wraps someone who returns home after a long day. The climate of San Francisco was not to his liking. The weather was unpredictable, bipolar, wind and how varied the temperature a few blocks to others, sulked. Leaving somewhere with bright sun gracing the sky and in a trice rain appeared to dampen out. It had been a few weeks since Lori's birthday. He was deep in thought when Nick and Peter entered the office.

  -¡Ey! Mike turned, sat behind the desk.

  Nick and Peter continued talking about the new economic campaign budget, while Mike looked at his mail and removed all the garbage that sent him online. When did the name of Lori to light, scowling Mike looked up.

  He has lagged in the budget for much more than we thought, I do not like. Nick urged Mike to say something. Lori must adhere to the calculation or we will have problems.

  Peter watched the papers where the figures were Nick spoke.

  'The fault is not with her, all he has done is make your Mike blurted work well. He never knew what black impulse led him to defend at all costs, to want to protect it. He was the only one who could comment on it, the only thing I could criticize, no one else. The fault is mine, was only doing what I suggested.

  The tense tone in which he spoke, he betrayed, he wanted to prevent your friends to realize the mess of emotions that caused the woman, but the way that safeguarded, Nick surprised. Peter missed head snapped up.

  I appreciate your words, Mike, but my sister can stand alone or am I to support and differ from your comment, Nick. If you realize, in these same roles is the discount you got with renting commercial locations. One thing for another, friend.

  'I want gird the budget and if we can save a few bucks along the way, much better -retrucó Nick. The investment has been immense and do not want unnecessary increases.

  That small increase was necessary again interjected Peter. The website with virtual tour is an expensive job and I think that your investment deserves.

  Mike picked up the phone and asked his secretary three coffees.

  -I Do not think that a few thousand dollars make a difference, but I will consider not worry I reply cutting and returned to the computer.
