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 places 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 is
committing.
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,
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,
-Know? Charlize told me the same thing before you got here, but I just laughed. 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 llamamos para cambiarle la hora que tenía con el doctor Brown, será pasado mañana, en el mismo horario.
-Muy bien, gracias. -¿Algo grave? – le pregunta Gerard — -No, solo me cambiaron la fecha del ultrasonido, será pasado
mañana -ella se mira las manos y le encantaría ir acompañada por alguien, por ejemplo su madre – “Ella debería ir conmigo” -
¿Puedo ir contigo? – ella se lo queda viendo y él solo sonríe -.
Entiende que Luz está en una situación compleja, porque su embarazo es muy difícil y porque aún noi sabe quién es el padre
de la criatura.
-¿En verdad quieres ir conmigo? – él asiente como si fuera un niño 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.

-¡Tú no tienes que soportar nada! – le dice ella 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 – la mira esperando esa respuesta y ella 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 that
comes 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.
