Chap.6
As soon as he turned the motorized chair back on he heard Luz's laughter amused by the situation, she seemed to be the silliest person he had ever met, she was amused by so little, Leon had never felt so light around someone as he did around her in a few minutes.
As they left the room Scooby stared at him inquiringly, it was a new situation, he just shook his shoulders indicating that even he didn't know what was going on, so the men headed to her room and grabbed their bags.
"Until next time, Kenny." He said goodbye to his friend following with Leon who didn't even wait for her to say goodbye properly.
"That... But... What's going on? She got married?" She asked herself confused as they all left, while her boyfriend was still sleeping on the packages.
"Sir, are we going to the company today?" Scooby asked as he entered the elevator with the two of them.
"No, since Miss Luz was sleeping I suppose you didn't have breakfast, we'll have breakfast together.
"But what about the 9:00 meeting?
"You can postpone it, I will take some time today to talk to my wife." Hearing this, her stomach clenched, it felt like there were a thousand butterflies flying there.
Scooby dropped them off at a rather luxurious restaurant near the mansion, Luz had never entered such an expensive, and refined place, everyone who frequented there seemed like important people.
"I know very well what you were doing, Miss Luz." He began seriously as he read the menu, they sat at a table away from the others, the restaurant brings some of the Victorian decor, neutral hallway, furniture of old and sturdy models, three huge crystal chandeliers, some people really seemed to stay in the 80's with their extravagant styles and unusual to be seen where she lives.
"What are you talking about?
"Now that you have discovered my other problem, you are trying to tease me and make fun of me, isn't that a bit futile and insensitive?" He asked harshly and grumpily, all that gentle humor had disappeared giving way to bitterness.
"I was just teasing you, because you came into my room without permission, but you shouldn't be so angry with me, we're married now.
"You're right, but I don't want a wife who makes fun of me and makes fun of my condition.
"I've never done that, I don't have that kind of prejudice, besides, you're beautiful... Exceptionally beautiful, look how many women are looking at you, would it be fucking bad for me to have a jealousy attack now?" he jokes facing her with a sneaky smile.
"I already tell you not to swear, I demand at least that from you, have good manners, I think you can do that, even though you came from a nightclub, right?
"I didn't come from a nightclub, but I had to go to one for a living.
"That's no excuse.
"What are you trying to say?
"Nothing, I just hope you'll think it over before you start teasing me.
"I didn't do it to offend you, I didn't think about your disability," she retorted, annoyed.
"I don't believe your words at all, that's what conceited women like you do. He accused her quietly, even though they were far away from the other customers, they could be heard if they didn't keep a low profile.
"You are again judging and offending me.
"I'm not offending, I'm just telling the truth, aren't you a proud and arrogant woman even though you're the type who offers yourself to men in a nightclub?
"that... you are strangely bipolar and offensive..." he sighed with watery eyes keeping his gaze fixed on the crystal clear liquid of the cup, it was like he was falling off his horse, he was not gentle like he wanted him to be." but after all... why?
"Why what?
"Why did we make this deal if you will be mistreating me?
"Because I paid your mother's debt." he reminded her coolly and arrogantly.
"I didn't ask you to do that!" A lone tear fell from her eyes.
"You are strong enough to listen, aren't you, Alessandra? You won't start crying like a little girl." He asseverated harshly still hurting her with his insensitivity when he saw a tear come down.
"I won't cry!" He said getting up. Not in front of you!" She walked out angrily leaving him alone, as soon as she left she heard the phone ring.
"Hello, old fat man." She answered it, wiping away her tears.
"Luz, my dear, when will you be back at the club?
"I won't be back, you fired me.
"No dear, the reason you always come back is because of the contract, you still have one.
"Oh my God! Another stupid contract! I didn't even remember.
Least of all me, you really are very valuable to our establishment, if you want to check the veracity of the contract it is available now or anytime you want." As soon as he said it, Luz just cried some more, how can she be so careless, now she would have to honor two contracts.
"Bossy... My fatty... There's really no way I can break that contract?" She asked distressed in a pampered voice.
"I'm sorry, just check it out is at your own risk, I'll tell you in advance that the breach of contract is equivalent to 500,000 reals." Saying that, he ended the call.
"What was I thinking signing that?" she wonders skeptically.
She doesn't remember because she was drunk, and her boss took advantage of that to make her exclusive to the nightclub.
She didn't even remember that she had left Leon at the restaurant, took a cab and decided to go to the club.
All the way there she kept crying until the taxi driver told her that he had arrived, he left her on the other side of the road, she would have to cross to get to you&me.
She didn't even stop at the traffic light to wait for the light to close, she was so stunned with the news that she followed in front of the cars that she only woke up when she heard the shrill horn of the car going towards her at high speed.
She felt the strong impact against her body being thrown against the pavement falling on something soft, she could barely assimilate, she was trying to understand if the car had hit her and died on the spot or not, until her blurred vision stabilized and she could see where she had fallen.
"Are you crazy?" Asked a man trying to get up until she finally got off her body." Hey, Miss!?" He continued to call out, while Luz looked scattered with lost gaze, the stranger just breathed out conformed staring at her, while his tears came down involuntarily." Are you okay?" he asks calmly when he notices her lost gaze on him.
"I... I should...
"Yes?
"I'm fine? Aren't you an angel?" he asks still scattered.
"No, you must be going crazy.
"I should have let the car hit me!" He gasps, trying to run into the middle of the busy highway again.
