One Year to Part: Passion and Deception
Chapter 98

Chapter 98:.

It took a couple of minutes for Emily to react to Martin’s statement, perhaps at some point her brain and body lost connection and she didn’t know what she was doing until she found herself standing in the middle of the street holding her husband’s hand.

Her breathing was labored, but she was sure it had nothing to do with the little run, it was more from nerves.

Martin was watching her in bewilderment, then suddenly he steps out, leaving her behind, and the next thing he knows he is standing next to her again as she stops him by the arm.

From her messy hair he guesses she ran there, which leads him to wonder how the hell could she run in the high heels she was wearing?

“What are you doing here Em? I know what I told you might take you by surprise…”

Before he continues Emily interrupts him.

“You can shut the fuck up. You already spoke and said everything you wanted to say didn’t you, well now it’s my turn, I’m going to speak and you’re going to keep that pretty little mouth shut the fuck up.

You’re a fucking coward Martin, yes, that’s right, don’t look at me like that, you’re a coward because you come and tell me all that, but you don’t have the courage to wait for my answer, no, you’d rather run away, rather than give me the chance to answer, and all because you’re afraid I’ll reject you.”

She paces around the place as she scratches her head messing up her hair more.

“Seriously Martin, how the hell do you think I’m going to say no to you, but you’ve seen yourself in a mirror, if you’re a fucking hottie, what do I say hottie, you’re the mold of making the hotties, it’s just that next to you I feel horrible.

And I don’t know how but somehow even when you wake up your hair is perfect without even a strand out of place, seriously you have to tell me how you do it, but I don’t know how you could come to that conclusion all by yourself.”

“I tried to kiss you and…”

“Did I tell you it was over and you could talk? I didn’t think so, and of course I turned my face away, you took me by surprise, that’s a normal reaction, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like you or have feelings for you.

We’ve been married for two years, and it’s been more than one year since my feelings for you changed, I was waiting for you to notice, but you didn’t, and when you told me today how you felt, I couldn’t have felt happier, because I love you too Martin.

And Oscar has long since ceased to interest me, I don’t feel anything for him, only you interest me and stop being so slow and just kiss me or I have to be the one to take the initiative too.”

Martin thought no more and disappeared the distance between them and kissed her. That was the first night in two years that Martin didn’t sleep alone, but despite having had sex, his heart felt whole and warm thanks to the woman in his arms.

While Sara and Emily slept in each other’s arms Beatriz looked up at the roof of the hotel where she was staying, she was exhausted, she had attended a cooking conference where only the most important chefs had been invited.

The last two years she, like Sara, had focused on her work and her efforts had been rewarded with two Michelin stars and her work was already well known. That particular day she felt extremely exhausted because by bad luck she had crossed paths with her cousin and as always she had only known how to insult and curse her.

Beatriz ignored her, but somehow no matter how hard she tried she felt it was not enough, she felt she was a failure and as if seeing her cousin was not enough torture, just that same day a new Tobias scandal had come out.

Beatriz knew the boy wasn’t worth her tears, but somehow her heart didn’t understand and she ended up crying whenever she saw him with some new girl, she knew she had been a fool not to heed Sara and Emily’s advice.

But there she was lying on a hotel bed crying as she watched her first love making out with a model. As she kept telling herself to forget about it she felt a knock at the door, she wasn’t expecting anyone but still she got up, dried her tears and went to open it.
