Chapter 37


    Gerard believes in the clouds, until he begins to feel a salty taste in that kiss that, until now, was


    sweet. He separates a little from Luz and sees that thick tears fall from his eyes, he is distressed


    knowing that he has provoked that reaction, thinking that he should not have followed that impulse.


    – Luz… sorry – but she silences him with a finger to her lips, shakes her head, keeping her eyes closed


    and smiles –


    -That has been the best kiss of my whole life, but you don’t know how much they’ve hurt me – she looks


    him straight in the eyes and pouts -, and that’s why I’m afraid that you’ll hurt me too.


    -No… no, my Little Light. You may not believe me, but I don’t know when, where or how, but I have you


    here-she ces her hand on her heart, which is beating wildly-. I swear you are the second woman in


    my life that makes me feel like this…


    “When you tell me that you are afraid, I feel the same way. I’m afraid of losing you, of not being the good


    man you deserve… but I swear to you, I really swear to you, Luz Méndez, that I’m going to make an


    effort every day to be.


    -Gerard… just give me time, I think we both have many internal problems, but right now it’s best to go


    easy. No hurry.


    The girl’s hand rests on his cheek, he closes his eyes and sticks to that piece of her skin as if it were his


    lifeline in the middle of a violent ocean that threatens to take him away from the women he loves the


    most.


    He knows that there is no time, but whatever is left he will dedicate to proving that his words are true.


    -While we go easy on this new discovery… can I kiss you again?


    Gerard’s request disarms her because of the tenderness in him. She nods at her with a smile, but before


    kissing her he wipes away her tears, then looks for her lips without being so invasive and this time she


    feels more sure of the madness she ismitting.


    Oh my God! She is making out with a man she barely knows, who is her boss and who doesn’t know her


    worst secret. And now, although she gets carried away in this adventure, she knows that he can react in


    two very different ways: as his parents or as his and Rafael’s brother.


    They separate and see each other for a few seconds, until Gerard’s phone rings, he sees that it’s Darcy


    and pouts. He answers her, not hiding his annoyance from him.


    -Gerard, where was the Barton file?


    – And why are you looking for that file? I left that case to Dan.


    – I thought you’d give it to me, since I’m the real estate expert.


    – Everyone knows that the Barton thing is not just about real estate, it’s a full-fledged divorce. Now, I ask


    you to stop calling me every now and then, I’m on vacation and Dan is left in charge.


    – But I’m your cousin, I should have…


    Are you Darcy Finnick? Well no, you are Darcy Pine and I do not allow you to continue taking attributions


    that do not belong to you.


    – Gerard…


    – Dan is the other member of the buffet, his name is on the doors of the building next to mine, so


    anything you need these three weeks, talk to him.


    He cuts him off, very annoyed by the woman’s attitude, unfortunately she is his mother’s niece and he


    can’t do anything, because since he lost his parents when he was fifteen, he has lived with them.


    The only thing she is grateful to Darcy for is that thanks to her she met Margaret , since she was her best


    friend. But nothing else.


    Luz sees him overwhelmed and approaches him to give him small massages on the shoulders, the man


    allows himself to be done, he just closes his eyes to feel those small hands that seek to relieve him.


    “He won’t leave you alone.” Gerard shakes his head and she sighs. I don’t like her that woman, she’s too


    sinister for my liking, but she’s just my opinion…


    -Know? Charlize told me the same thing before you got here, but I justughed. I can’t believe what you


    guys have seen, that I haven’t.


    -Don’t get overwhelmed with that now… – but Luz’s phone rings and she sees that it’s from the clinic


    -. Hello?


    -Good morning, with Miss Luz Méndez?


    -Yes with she.


    -La mamos para cambiarle hora que tenía con el doctor Brown, será pasado ma?ana, en el mismo


    horario.


    -Muy bien, gracias. -?Algo grave? – le pregunta Gerard — -No, solo me cambiaron fecha del


    ultrasonido, será pasado ma?ana -e se miras manos y le encantaría ir pa?ada por alguien, por


    ejemplo su madre – “E debería ir conmigo” -?Puedo ir contigo? – e se lo queda viendo y él solo


    sonríe -.


    Entiende que Luz está en una situaciónpleja, porque su embarazo es muy difícil y porque aún noi


    sabe quién es el padre de criatura.


    -?En verdad quieres ir conmigo? – él asienteo si fuera un ni?o al que están invitando al parque d e


    diversiones – Entonces sí, pero te advierto, será muy incómodo para los dos, porque el ultrasonido e s


    transvaginal… -Oh, ya pasé por eso con mi… esposa. Lo soportaré.

    ao


    -?Tú no tienes que soportar nada! – le dice e riendo -. Pero gracias, veremos si puedes entrar, no sé si


    un amigo pueda entrar.


    -Bien puedo decir que soy el padre de ese bebé – le dice orgulloso –


    -Gerard, no lo sé…


    -Sin presiones, pero yo quiero verlo y si tengo que hacerme pasar por el padre, pues lo haré. A menos


    que el padre esté presente – mira esperando esa respuesta y e niega -. No se diga más, yo seré su


    papi sustituto por ahora.


    Luz throws herself into his arms, because despite everything he has lived through, he has ended up


    being an air. cool thates to make her smile.


    Thus things will take their course, to reach the climax of a love story that can have many endings, but


    only one is the one that Luz and Gerard are interested in waiting for.
