I was leaving the building when my cell phone rang, and as I saw the screen, anger boiled inside me as I realized it was Mr White who was dialing. I stopped and answered "Now what are you planning to ruin my life?" I uttered in an angry voice, hoping that he would answer.
When he didn’t say anything for a couple of seconds, I started to get frustrated, hit the ground with my right foot and before trying to bite my nails mention "I understand you care about my health after all, but I would appreciate it if you didn’t get into my life any more than you already have." I waited another couple of seconds for an answer and in the absence of one I decided to hang up. I was taking my phone out of my ear when I felt it being taken away while a hand held me from the waist of my pants.
"Don’t worry doc, I’ll take care of him for the week," Aaron said in a friendly and slightly awkward tone "Thank you, once you’re in his apartment let me know to go and talk to him." said the doctor on the other side of the line before hanging up. Those words just made me even angrier, I tried to get my cell phone back, but the height difference made it difficult for me to work. Unable to complete this task, I began to tap the hand holding my pants to separate myself from him, but that also failed.
Once tired of trying to escape, I resigned myself, walked with him still clinging to my pants to the edge of the bench and stop a taxi. I opened the car door and looked at Aaron pointing his hand, before releasing me holding up the door and making sure that I stayed in my seat while he settled down next to me. The journey to my apartment felt eternal, as I went down, the blond rushed in front of me and put one of his hands on my shoulder, to prevent me from walking away while he paid.
Aaron stuck to me until he reached the door of my apartment, I opened the door and stepped in only to be stopped in my place by him. I looked around and realized that his face was pale and his lips were moving as if he was having an argument with himself. "If you want to run away you’re free to do so, just let me in my home," I said as I tried to get his hand off my shoulder. Aaron then came out of his trance and walked me in letting me free; I let him close the door as I went to my room for some clothes before going into the bathroom.
Once I put on my clothes and put what I had brought put in the washing machine, I went to the room in time to hear Aaron tell Mr White that we were expecting him in a while, once hung he turned in my direction and automatically got tense; I went to the kitchen, took a glass of water and went to my room to check on the university papers; Before I could see anything, though, I fell asleep.
I woke up late that day, there were a couple of voices coming from the room, but before I left, I turned on my computer and checked my mail. I took my time reading each of the emails, checking that everything they asked me to have been sent correctly. Until I reached the last mail, in which the name of Professor Tadeo appeared; my heart was turned and I opened it after swallowing saliva. The mail just mentioned that he was hoping we’d enjoy our weekend and he was hoping to see us on Monday. I felt disappointed for a moment before remembering his last words; I turned off the computer and prepared to leave my room.
Sitting on my two-seater couch were Aaron and Mr White, who remained silent after seeing me. "I’ll go get some dinner, and I’ll be right back," the blond man said as he stood up. "Take the keys from the jar on the little table in the hall," I said, not turning to look at him as I sat on the floor in front of the doctor.
It wasn’t until we heard the door close that Mr White began to speak "How do you feel, Raul?" he said in a friendly tone. "Considering I’ve discovered my father is a criminal, My mother’s family a bunch of murderers and the fact that you got one of the guys I want to see the least to suggest he stay with me for a week because of a minor accident in the park, I find myself wonderfully, totally positive and ready for anything" I uttered with a tone of obvious sarcasm.
"Young Walker commented on the situation between you, He also told me that he was worried about you since he saw you by chance in the cafe and how bad he feels for acting like a bastard with you." said the doctor, making me lower my defenses a little. "I understand you’re not comfortable with someone unknown around you because of everything you’ve learned recently about your family, but as a doctor, I think that being alone is not an option and having someone like that young man around you would be a great help".
It took a moment, but I understood what he meant. Just at that point Aaron came in "Were you talking about me?" he said trying to sound funny. "Yes" replied the doctor of cleavage, erasing the mocking smile from the blond man’s face. "I was saying to Mr White, who was grateful for your concern and that, although your gesture is very kind, we should settle a few things before I agree to have you in my home, even for a week" mention calmly watching the doctor’s reaction. Dr. White smiled cheerfully and calmly, slightly mentioning that tomorrow he would send me the burial information and went to the exit. "I hope you can fix everything," he said before leaving me and the blond alone in my house.
