Chapter 9

Alex

- Good evening. I've been calling this cell phone and no one is answering it!  - I am rude and very serious. Trying to understand what was happening to me!
- Sir, I am sorry!
I could only answer now. - she apologizes.  What is that voice? Her voice is very sexy.  When she answers, I pretend to believe what she tells me, but I found it impossible for a person not to be able to answer the phone at any time. 
- I lost my cell phone today.
Can we arrange for it to be returned? - I suggest the meeting with other intentions as well. I really want to meet this woman!     
- Look, sir, I certainly can't today!
- She excuses herself and I notice that she is sleepy.  Besides, who would leave home at dawn to deliver a cell phone? 
- Madam, I think I woke you up.
I'm sorry! I know that there are no conditions today. But if possible, can we do it tomorrow? Whatever time is good for you? I really need my cell phone back. - I practically beg.  
- That's fine.
Tomorrow we can meet. Sir, let's do the following, tomorrow I have to see a client, we could arrange somewhere to give you the phone - she tells me and I am left trying to figure out what she worked on? 
- Great.
There is a coffee shop called "Coffee", can we meet there at ten o'clock in the morning?  - I suggest the place, giving the address. Now I wonder if my interest is linked only to the cell phone?   
-No problem, I'm looking for...
- she asks and I notice an interest there. 
- Alex - I answer.

- Okay, then, Mr.
Alex, we'll meet there - she answers and I realize that she wants to end the call. At the very least, she wanted to wake up early for this meeting with her client?
- Okay, ma'am, how will I know who you are?
- I ask curiously, feeling a sense of ownership, even though I don't know her. 
- I will be in uniform.
Of course, you will know it's me. - Will she be in uniform? Now I am very curious to know who this woman is! And what will she be working on?
- I'll be waiting for you, ma'am?
- I ask curious wanting to know her name.
- Baptista - she answers me.
I would like to know more about her, but we end the call at that moment. 
      I keep holding the phone and Mrs.
Baptista's voice is still in my head. What is she like? From her voice I feel that she is sensual. I am very curious to meet her! I put the phone back on its cradle, stretch out on the bed, and feel lonely. 
           Sometimes I wish I had a woman by my side, to sleep together and other things.
 But that would be a betrayal to Sarah.  I end up sleeping, and in my dreams, I dream that my Sarah is cuddling me and telling me that she loves me. I wake up with a feeling of peace and at the same time sadness as I feel that even with the passing of the years I will always miss her immensely.
           I follow the same routine as always, take a shower, comb my hair, apply deodorant, put on my suit and pack a backpack with some items I might need.
I pass by the twins' room and notice that they have already gone downstairs, I go to meet them, who are already having coffee and greet them. I notice that Renata is a little afraid, at least she was still afraid of being sent away.
        I start to have coffee with my children, always joking and talking about some drawing or school, I always make a point to talk with them.
I finish my coffee, say goodbye to them, grab my backpack, leave and go straight to the agency. I was looking forward to meeting the woman who gave me such a hard-on! 
     Beforehand, I had some appointments.
I stop at my secretary's desk, check my calendar and say.  
- Leticia, today at 9 a.
m. a security guard sent to me by my friend Rafael will come to look for me.
- Okay, Mr.
Alex. What is the girl's name? - asks Leticia.
- Ah, yes, of course, her name is Jack," I say and soon realize that she is surprised:
- Is there a problem?
- I ask curiously.
- Sir, does she have a man's name?
- she asks intrigued. 
- Yes, I thought it was strange too," I comment, and I really did notice.
 - I hope she is very professional and will take care of my children's safety.
- Yes, that's true.
- she agrees and asks for permission.
        In my office, I start answering some e-mails...
make some calls... And I am so entertained that I don't realize that the hours have passed...  I am interrupted by my secretary who announces the arrival of that security guard. 
- Could you ask her to come in, Leticia, please?
- I give the order to Leticia and look forward for her to come in.
       I stand in front of the door waiting for her, when finally she enters my room, and I am startled.
What a beautiful woman! Is she really a security guard? Impossible!   
When she looks at me, she is also startled.
Am I so ugly? How strange!
- Are you?
- she asks, shocked.
- I'm sorry, but do we know each other?
- I ask curiously. Your voice is not strange to me. I know you from somewhere, I just don't remember where. 
- You are Alex?
Rafael Monteiro's friend? - she asks me. 
- Yes, I am.
And you are.
