Resolving everything about the work was tiring and tiring but by the end of the week everything was already settled. Lena, my secretary, seemed more thrilled than I for being on vacation.
"Could I pretend to be disappointed?" I asked her, watching the papers she placed on the table so I could sign.
"You do not need me for that," she scoffed at me. "Anyway, you're going to spend a week's vacation with your young wife," she smirked.
Lena liked to mess with me because of Lisa's age. It was true that we would go on vacation together, but of course it was not just the two of us, I reminded myself. Her friends and Jake would, too. I was kind of worried about that. Two grown men with a trio of teenage girls. And one of them was my young wife.
_ About the meetings next week ...
_ They were all rescheduled for the next week_ she picked up her leather calendar and passed some pages_ Those she could not reschedule were landmarks for a teleconference. You can do this by the hotel. Are you going to take your notebook right?
_ Clear. What about the result of the research I asked you to do?
_ They are here_ she handed me the document_ According to the research, the result of her administration greatly improved the working conditions of Reymond companies. The employees were surprised by the exchange, but agreed that the changes were for the better.
"What does Thomas think?" I asked. He certainly did not like that.
_ I do not think he knows that we have done this type of research in your company and in the factory.
I think it was better this way, I thought. Thomas was not the best administrator I knew. After the wedding he never showed up at the office, at least not when I was there. What in recent months was all the time. I looked at the clock, almost midnight.
"I'm sorry I kept you here for so long.
_ No problem_ she smiled at me, Lena was a beautiful woman and was always tidy, did not seem to be the age that has. And she did not like to talk about her age_ I get very well, so I will not complain.
_ I understand. Good night.
_ Good night. Happy holidays to you.
_ Yes. Have fun too.
_ I'll.
When there was no one waiting for me at home, I would have continued in the office solving everything and gone away much later. But now I was trying to get home earlier when I could. Today I was late just like yesterday and before yesterday. Lisa was happy and excited for these holidays. No, it was not just that, Lisa was always well and happy. Her mood changed only when we were invited to her parents' home or when her mother made an unexpected visit.
Yesterday she and my mother went out to buy swimsuits. They spent the day together and my mother stayed for dinner. My mother was excited about it, too.
Inside the apartment I heard the sound of the TV on, in the living room on the sofa, Lisa was asleep. I turned off the TV and she shifted to the shore but did not wake up.
I decided to take a shower before taking her to bed. Some time later, I returned to the room and she was not there. I heard noises in the kitchen and went to her. Lisa wore a short shorts and a small white blouse. He was stirring inside the refrigerator.
"What do you want to eat?" He asked me, looking over his shoulder. These little things made me happy. Get home and know she waited for me so she could do something so I could eat. Our coexistence was good.
But although we lived together and slept in the same bed, I confessed that I was not sure what we were even being married on paper.
"I already had something in the office.
_ Serious? _ She opened the refrigerator and picked up ice cream and a spoon in the dryer_ Do you want?
_ Not.
I sat down next to her on the counter, watching as she sipped ice cream.
"Everything is ready for our journey," she told me. "But what about you?
_ Everything ready too_ I took your spoon and ate some of the ice cream_ Let's leave tomorrow morning. Are not you tired?
"Not at all, I just woke up." She smiled, stealing the spoon from me. "And you?" Is tired?
"A little," I agreed, watching her smile. His smile was incredible and there was always that sparkle in his eyes that captivated me.
We kept staring at each other for a while. Then he got up and put the ice cream back inside the refrigerator.
_ Let's go.
We lay on our bed and Lisa looked at me.
"You really do not mind the girls coming with us?"
_ Not even a little. It'll be fun.
She came over, I tensed.
"Is it okay if I go there?" She said softly in a soft voice.
_ I agreed, relaxing. She used my shoulder as a pillow and put her arm around my chest hugging me. I lifted her hand and put my arms around her. Kissing her forehead.
"To be honest the girls gave me a warning," she told me.
_ What kind of warning was it?
_ That if I did not take some attitude our relationship would never change.
This made me apprehensive. What kind of conversations were these girls having over me? Not only about me, I thought, girls that age talked about everything right? Like boys and sex. I have to remember that.
"What kind of attitude do you intend to take?" I asked.
"I'll seduce you."
I laughed out loud at this idea. Somehow I could not see Lisa seducing anyone. She hit me in the stomach and I stopped laughing.
"I'm serious." She sat on the bed.
"I'm not saying that I'm not in a hurry to say sitting down," I asked. I did not want to have that kind of conversation or even that kind of thoughts about her. Because it made me feel like I was doing something wrong.
"It's not now, I've been thinking about it for some time now." She got up and started pacing the restless room. "I just realized that we're married and do not do any married things.
_ You're just a child_ Oops, that was the wrong thing to say.
She looked at me angrily. And I agree that I was wrong. In my head I still tried to think of her as a child. But she was not a child. She was growing at incredible speed. And this frightened me in several ways.
_ Wants to know? I'm going to sleep in the living room. Do not you want to sleep next to a child?
I hurried to get up and took her by the arm. That was not what I meant when I called her a child. I think I hurt your feelings.
"That's not what I meant.
"So what did you mean?"
_I mean, why rush us? We do not need to think about it yet.
_ I want to think about it now.
But I was not ready to think about it. Lisa was a beautiful girl and in recent months her body was changing. She was taller and her breasts were getting bigger. She changed and changed for the better. But for me the age factor was still something I could not pass up.
"So we should do this now?" I asked, annoyed.
"Not now," she replied with a shrug. "But I want you to think of me as someone you want.
He was silent.
_ So let's do it_ I did not have a solution for that, but I had an idea_ What do you think we started dating?
_ Dating? _ She laughed_ But we are married.
"Not because we wanted to," I reminded her, took her hand and brought it to me. Sitting on my lap. Let's do it the right way. Without worrying about our parents' marriage contract and without any interference from other people.
_ I think we can do that.
_ Yes we can. So, boyfriends?
_Yes, boyfriends.
She came closer, her arms around my neck hugging me. She came closer but stopped. I realized she was waiting for me to come closer. And I also realized that she did not know what to do. And that was pretty cute. My arms went around her waist and my lips touched hers.
I started slowly with only slight touches as I watched her reaction to me. So I was more insistent, our kiss became stronger and I hugged her tightly. She drew back to breathe.
_ Our_ she laughed softly_ This was very good.
It was yes, I agreed. We lay down together and I hugged her. Tomorrow we leave early so for today we go to sleep.
The next day we woke up early and got ready to leave, put our bags in the car and headed to the airport.
"Kelly and Tessa are meeting us at the airport with Jake," she told me, looking at her cell phone.
_ Let's go out with my family's plane. Jake already knows that.
She stared at me as I drove.
_ What's it?
_ Nothing_ replied smiling _ I'm just happy.
_ This is good_ also smiles with her_ Taste when you are happy.
Two hours later we were in the air toward Honolulu in Hawaii.
