I fell asleep with my thoughts and woke up scared in the morning when I feel someone stuck in my body and eye was Maite.
All shrunken she was in my bed.
I get up and she gets scared and look out the window the day was so rainy I looked the canal of the city was full was going to be hard today tiring. I'll take a cup of coffee and sit at the window to take a look and she'll start talking.
" Friend, what happened has come back?
I've got a lot to do.
"Wow, but are you going to the clinic yet? He didn't give you 15 days.
- I'm fine, I need to get back early and so start my life over.
"Are you so cold, so far away?
"I'm simply making life decisions that I had to have taken many years ago.
She approaches me and hugs me, and I wish I had no feelings for her, but unfortunately, I had.
"Forgive me for everything. I was so blinded by the handle that I fucked up.
"Imagine Maite. I was wrong to believe everything Max told me, too. We're still friends.
When I look, he was across the street I walk out the window and solve what I had to solve i got a small suitcase. I needed to get out of this place and forget about this man, so I wasn't going to make it.
"Maite, I'm going inland because I'm going to work at the clinic and I'm going to stay there. I want to be with my patients.
"Please, Mia. You're going to leave me alone?
I'm still going to pay my share of the apartment because I'm always going to come to town. And you work hard and you're going to visit me.
"Be happy Mia. And if you need me, I'll be here.
Have you heard from Gabriel?
"No, he disappeared and it was better so he hurt you friend. He was an, and if he shows up, I'm going to kill that bad guy.
"Take care of yourself, friend.
When I opened the door, he was there sitting at the door looking with one hand in his pocket and smoking.
"What do you want?
"Talk please.
I didn't want Maite to see him here and after all that happened a lot of things was going to change in my life and one of them is my friendship with Maite and another was my job I was going to devote myself to work. I had ordered the taxi and saw that it did not arrive, I approach the car and he stared at me and I did not look at him.
"What do you have to say to me?" Make it quick.
"Let's have a cup of coffee and talk.
"I don't have time my cab is coming, and it has until the taxi arrives to talk.
"I made a deal with her family, because all my inheritance was in their hands, and I practically broke I could not let lose what is mine.
" Oh, I understand you did all this for you Max is selfish. Wow, you're the greatest... congratulations.
"Why are you being this sarcastic with me? I'm telling you the truth, that's what happened.
"Look here I wish all the happiness in the world for you and your family. Be happy will raise your child with your wife.
When I look taxi was turning the corner, I look at him and I see that his eyes were wet with tears is almost crying never saw him so even though he is telling the truth he had commitment to his life and if he preferred the inheritance to me then the inheritance was more important than me.
"From today I am another Mia, neither you, nor anyone will make me suffer and one day I will find the love of my life, but it will be mine I will not have to share with anyone.
"I love you, Mia.
"You made your choice and never thought of me. How much you were going to hurt me, you thought you were going to come and open your pants and I was going to give in. I'll open the cab door. "Max was wrong.
Throwing my little suitcase in there and he held me by the leather jacket and eye inside his eyes was sad and my letting go of fire. He's trying to hold me.
" The charge is still valid. Go to jail if you touch me again.
I got in the cab and didn't look back and nothing he said was going to change and he made his choice and in that choice I'm not involved. I felt like crying, but I held on, I couldn't cry I needed to do it differently. I held on because I said I wasn't going to cry anymore that from now on after everything that happened, I deserved to try to breathe without pain. Max was the love that taught me to live again after everything I've lived with Gabriel, and I can love again and I'm sure something good I've done in his life.
"But it's goodbye Max.
At the clinic I always had a small room in the back, the director always wanted me to live here. So, I'm going to be able to take care of my patients and stay away from the city, I couldn't find Santoro in the office in the morning and in the late afternoon there I was all smiles. I've run and hugged me so hard passed his hands in my hair and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Little Mischievous, did you leave me what happened?
I've had an accident, but I'm better now. How's everything around here?
" All settled, the land is now ours and I sued the former owner and still got the donation for the end-of-year party of our patients.
" Lie! I jumped on his neck for the first-time good news, a year-end party for the joy of patients. "You were too much San.
"Where are you going to spend Christmas where?
"Here with the patients. And then in bed.
- Would you like to spend Christmas in the country with my family? My mom's crazy to meet you.
"I can't believe you've already told your mother about me. I'm scared of what he said is going too fast. — I can't have to take care of the patients.
- Think if you want, I'm going to pick you up on Friday. Mia will love my city is cozy cold and I still have my parents who keep telling the family lies.
He hugged me, I felt my ribs hurt and I close my eyes in pain and when I look, I see Max's car parked at the gate.
"You're not leaving, I'm going to take you to your car.
" I forgot my cell phone in the office, I'll get us meet.
It's all right.
I looked again he was still there i went until the find of him before he enters do some madness. I won't have peace with this man following me. Every step I took I knew how to risk falling into his arms again. But this meeting would have to happen, so it means he knows everything about my life right now. And I have nothing more to hide from him.
"What do you want?
" I won't give up on you Mia.
"You're going to give up on me.
I put my hand in my jeans pocket and i took the doctor's paper and delivered it. "You're going to give up on me, so I'm going to sue you, don't make me be like you. If you don't leave, I'll file you for rape.
"You know that's not how it happened. You wouldn't have the guts.
"And your word against mine and my doctor's.
He got out of the car yet took the paper and looked inside my eyes the greenish eyes were red seemed to cry and it was little because I cried a lot.
"We can try Mia, do it differently.
- How do I go to your bed being your mistress and you're married to keep your assets is that it? Never. I try to get away. "Leave me alone because I will move on with my life and you will move on with your life.
Pulled my apron looking inside my eyes passed his hand in the hair and pulled me into a hug for all the pain I was feeling and all that happened is the best hug in the world for my body and soul at that moment he stroked my hair as I wish it were different, just me and him and our baby. It was the best hug in the world, the best affection in the background, I was in need of it, as I will stay away from him, I do not know, but I will keep. He looked into my eyes again almost kissed me I put his hand in front I moved away from his body and looked at him for the last time.
"He's a God Max.
"I'm not going to give up on you Mia.
I walk two steps and look at him again and even with his soul destroyed and the body begging for it. Knowing that he and the man I love, I had to be strong and put a stop to it. I had to use my exam to pressure him to leave me alone because I would never accuse him of anything. Not least because I wanted to.
"But I gave up on you.
I needed to give, um, enough in this story as much as it was adore, it was going to be a day. I can't throw my life away for the third time and Max is going to be a father, he's got a family and I'm not part of that story. I was crossing the corridor cresting the sadness beating in the bottom of my heart I almost cry I stop and look at the garden and feel strengthened to see my patients smiling. What I was suffering went through and I promised without crying and I wasn't going to look back and i was scared to be touched around the waist and eye was Santoro.
"What a fright I thought I’d gone!
"I've been waiting for you. Who is that man?
" No one important. He held my hand and shook and smiled, was so happy on that day so sad for me.
"I agree to spend Christmas with your family.
