«You're slow!» - Juliet laughs at me as I roll my eyes: I should have left this little monster at home!
But she's right, I have to hurry if I want to catch my boss at the office.
«Wait for me here, I'll join you as soon as possible.» - I indicate a chair to Juliet.
I keep a deep breath as I finally observe my goal from afar, and given the open door of the office, I believe that he is definitely in there.
But my expectations get disappointed when, instead of finding the surgeon, I find his son sitting behind the chair.
I catch him thoughtfully as he looks out of the giant window of his father's office.
For the first time I don't see him smiling, but with a very serious face, so I enjoy the view by raising the corner of my mouth.
If at first I was bothered by the idea that he and Catherine were siblings, now, on the other hand, I think how unfair I was with the teacher and that I owe him some explanations.
"Have you changed your job?"
He jerks his head in my direction, and then immediately breaks out with a smile, as I imagined.
I smile back as he stands up to meet me.
"Perhaps. You doctors are not forced to repeat what you know to children that don't even care about it. "
"Yes, but we had to study twice as much as you did." - I raise my chin forcefully in a joking way, while he nods giving up.
"Right observation." -he puts a hand behind his neck, starting to scratch in a nervous way.
I sigh, thinking it's time to make a long conversation with him.
"I didn't know she was your sister. Besides she was the one who started ..." - I start saying quickly, while he tries to catch my attention:
"Clara ..." - I don't let him continue, that I immediately resume my speech:
"I trusted my boyfriend, but then I learned that after years of being in a relationship with the asshole, he slept with another ..."
"Clara ..."
"And just as it happened she was your sister, but I shouldn't have treated her like that, on the contrary, it was ..."
"Clara! Listen..."
"... an impulsive gesture, I was just to angry..." - the words come out of my mouth spontaneously until the moment when he approaches his face to mine and presses his mouth to my lips without even giving me the time to realize it.
I widen my eyes, then blush violently as soon as he walks away.
"Lo-Louis?" - he turns his back bringing a hand through his hair, as he has just realized she shouldn't have done it.
I gasp, still feeling his lips on mine, even though Louis is now ten feet away.
He slowly turns around closing his eyes:
"I don't know what...! I'm truely... »- he approaches with a soft step, but instead of catching up with me, he passes me and disappears out the door.
I followe him with my eyes established, turning slowly, but my expression changes from amazed to perplexed when I see Juliet at the door jamb.
From her grimace I understand that she has seen enough: I don't know whether to worry more about what just happened with the man I thought would become one of my best friends, or about the fact that Alex's daughter witnessed the whole scene.
Who knows what she is thinking right now? Maybe that I betrayed her brother, that I am the worst person she has ever known.
I do not find the courage to advance towards her, but she takes the initiative, entering the office:
«If Alex found out about it, he would go crazy.» - she bursts into a roaring laugh as I hasten to threaten her.
"You won't say a word!" - I give her a long bad look.
"Why not? At least he will wake up and realize what he's losing. "-she finds the courage to say with such an innocent face.
«He has already lost me.» - I whisper without realizing it, saying it more to myself than to her.
