A Love In Dark Times
Chapter 32

“Wait Luisa, please let's talk.

-Of course, as long as you don't want to insist that I leave Guio, and you leave Angie and we're just boyfriend and girlfrier we can talk about anything but that.

-No, it's not about that, I wanted to ask you, how are they at your house?

Well, why?

“No, it's nothing, it's just that I heard...

-Come on, spit it out, the faster the better.

“that you fought too hard with your dad.

Yeah, he was thinking of taking the relocation money and that would mean he'd leave my little brothers homeless.

-Of course, tenacious, that's very hard, what a difficult situation.

“I think you're expecting me to tell you what's being whispered around, and if it’s true, it's totally true.

-I can’t believe it.

Seriously, I arrived at the house, since the great master gave me permission and I found Carl who is my stepfather, I four him in the room with someone, I was offended, of course, how is it that my mother recently died and he already has a replacement, it's inconceivable, I entered the house and I heard some moaning, I opened the door and pulled the blanke that covered those two bodies and he almost threw me backwards, I didn't know what to do, I swear, I went out and came back in several times, I jumped, I cried, I laughed, I grabbed my belly, I thought it would come out of my nose, it was very hard.

“What was hard, tell me Luisa, I don't understand you.

Well, my stepfather wasn't with another woman, he was with another man, it was complicated, I never thought he was capable of that, I felt bad for my mum and for us.

Come on, it's not so bad, life goes on and that man has to follow it, now it's fashionable for old people to come out of th wardrobe, what happens is that they were born in a time full of taboos and prejudices, before it wasn't easy to be gay, parents threw their children out because of that, even in times some were shot or burned, it's while you assimilate it, the worrying thing is his brothers.

-1 guess I'll have to resign from the league if I think about it.

No, Luisa, you have to look for another method, I don't think you can get out alive and much less to a normal life, the be thing would be if you take your brothers to the barracks, I would play to see if suddenly the great master agrees.

That would be very cruel, to go through such rigorous training, which borders on the inhuman.

1 heard that Angie was gentle with you.

“Who told you, she, I feel she got stricter since one day she found me watching you train and you make it worse by offerir yourself as my escort, I think her jealousy will be a whip in my back.

I'm sorry, I would never want to hurt you.

“1 know, Luis, you always have good intentions, remember that hell is paved with good intentions.

Speaking of hell, are you going on that trip with the great master?

-1 don't know, I would have liked to, I'm afraid that someone might kill me when the great master leaves.

-Don’t worry, I won't go away from you, I will always be your protector.

“You shouldn't Luis, in fact, you shouldn't see me either.

- can't.

“You can’t or won't.

“If I wanted to I couldn't either, my heart doesn't understand that I can’t see you, my soul insists on feeling you close, it's cruel to listen to your sweet voice without being able to silence it with a kiss, trying to absorb it to keep it inside me, telli me that it loves me at all times.

Luis, that's very corny, you look like you're from the time of the knights.

My fat her is right when he says that knights died out because they were killed by witches, you're very insensitive.

“It's not that, it's that life forced me to mature, I can't continue being a deluded girl, I have to stop thinking about nonsense, I'm even contemplating leaving Guio, I'm only going to dedicate myself to training and if it's the case to take cz of my brothers, I don't have the head for love right now.

-'m also considering breaking up with Angie, the truth is that I'm with her because of drinks and I know first hand that she’s still in love with her first boyfriend.

-Luis, so if it wasn't for that you'd still be with her.

-No, the main reason is that I'm in love with someone else.

Well, then you have other options, so tell her, ask her to be your boyfriend and girlfriend.

I'd like to, only now it turns out that she doesn’t want anything with anyone.

-Ah, you're talking about me, so funny.

Ves, that's true, I've always liked you, that's why I liked to play with you, remember the little kisses we used to give each other under the table?

-Of course Luis, my first kisses, tender and innocent, my stomach tingles at the memory.

Don't be satisfied with just remembering it, look,” Luis approached her trying to kiss her, she like a bullfighter makes passes to the bull, “ool,” she stepped aside and furiously said to him:

“I have a boyfriend and you know it, besides him and your girlfriend are from the league, you know that we can even get killed for those fouls.

-1 don't care, a slap from you will be like a caress for me, it would surely take me to heaven, as for the other thing, yes it's complicated, we would have to talk to them, I know Angie will understand.

“He's a bit of a pain in the as, insisting on taking me to bed.

How rude and cheeky.

Neither one nor the other, we're supposed to be boyfriend and girlfriend and being intimate isn't disrespectful, but kissing each other is disrespectful, I bet you've already been with Angie.

“No, I haven't really thought about it.

Don't lie, so you're still playing boyfriend and girlfriend, with just kisses,

I've been concentrating on training, I have to be the best to protect you.

-Luis, you're very sweet, you're just missing something.

You're what I'm missing and I'm missing yours, we'd both complement each other.

You're still being cheesy, but it's working, maybe we could make a deal.

-What would it consist of, Luisa of my heart?

-1 propose this, let's continue with our partners, without sleeping with them, for a month from now and we train very har at the end of that time we'll fight in a match, if you win we'll make love and if I win?

Luisa, tell me what happens if you win?

Luis, it's simple, if I win you'll leave me alone.

“It's a good bet, I hope everything goes in my favour.

Don't trust me, Ill become the most powerful warrior thanks to Angie's jealousy. I'll beat you, I promise, we'll see, I have the will of a warrior.
