We were in the flat, wanting him to fill me and not only with kisses, I was ready, I wanted to be his, I wanted him to enter my being and he came in, but inopportunely my friend Mia, who, trying not to interrupt, stood in the doorway thinking she was invisible, giving flight to her voyeuristic passions and Angelo didn't seem to care, but I did, of course I was not capable of being with a man alone, even less now with a third one watching us, I pushed him aside although he resisted, he looked like a baby desperate to have his b****t taken away, I looked at my friend badly, she made a gesture of biting her tongue, she raised her men saying:

-Please excuse me, I went upstairs to get them, as dinner is getting cold, what a pity, I didn't want to interrupt them,

I hated her at that moment, she felt bad and disappeared, I only heard her heels coming down the stairs, she was ready to continue until the last consequences and I could see the fire in her eyes, Angelo was exploding, suddenly what I least expected happened, I felt a liquid coming down in my intimate part of my body, and a pain, it couldn't be, my period had come early, suddenly it was due to the stress I had under the sea, like the little mermaid, now instead of scales I had something else below my waist, now I couldn't be with Angelo, I would be ashamed if he noticed, so I stood up quickly and at the same time I pushed him out saying to him:

-and I close the door in his face to enter to check that, indeed, Andrés, who arrives every month, has played me and decided to go ahead, I was not prepared for this, I did not bring towels or anything like that, I had to resort to the old trick of wrapped toilet paper, taking away the option to continue exhibiting myself in my bathing suit.

We ate on the way to the island, where I fell asleep in my room, I felt that someone came to my room trying to open it, it could have been Mia or him, I held the desire to remove the lock, since I could not do anything, I would have to avoid it while it lasts, I want everything to be perfect, that our first time is unforgettable, I tried to relax so that it would go away quickly, with difficulty I fell asleep.

The next thing I remember is that I saw two rows of square lights passing by, I was on a stretcher, I see some men with caps and masks, they must be doctors, I try to get up to look for Angelo and again the light goes out. I come to, looking around me, I am alone in a hospital room, I feel very weak and I have a bag of saline solution, the doctor enters and greets me happily:

-Hello, sleeping beauty, I see that you have recovered, you must calm down, we are doing some tests.

-Doctor, what happened to me," I asked him, still feeling like I was in a dream, it must be because of the medicine.

-Miss, we think that some animal could have stung you or something hurt you, you had a vaginal haemorrhage, your friend Mrs. Mia told us that she had a bad diving experience where you almost lost your life, it could be that, added to the fact that you are from another climate and the seafood, there are many of us who are allergic, here on an island it is difficult that situation, I swear that if it wasn't because I love the waves, I would move to a city like Bogotá where I only eat A.C.P.M.

-Doctor, what a shame that in Bogotá they cook with natural gas, it's been a long time since they stopped cooking with petrol.

-No, A.C.P.M. means rice, meat, potato and ripe, it's a little joke that a Colombian friend of mine taught me, I better call your friend Mia.

She came in excited and worried, I was glad to see her, but I only had one question that hung on the tip of my tongue and wouldn't let me think of anything else: -and where is Angelo?

-He stayed with you day and night, even though his phone was ringing off the hook, apparently he had a series of problems that forced him to leave in the middle of his worry, despite that phone call, Angelo only left the moment the doctor said you were out of danger, I swear it was horrible, at first we thought you weren't getting up because you were so tired, then we thought you were a slacker and you were so tired, After you were slacking and not answering the knocks on the door, Angelo decided to force the door, when we opened it we panicked when we saw you pale with the sheets washed in blood, he picked you up without a hint of disgust and took you in a car at full speed, even a policeman stopped us for speeding, we explained the situation and at the same time Angelo gave him a wad of notes, the policeman in gratitude escorted us to this clinic; they didn't let us stay with you in intensive care, poor Angelo was running around clutching his hair, until the doctors came out to tell us that you were out of danger and that we could see you, however, we had to wait for you to come to, moreover that phone kept ringing with problems of his business, I only heard something about something with a Max, and I swear that nothing about a wife or children. -Mia, I just dreamt about him, suddenly I'm obsessing.

-Ximena, what's wrong is that he's as he wants to be, besides he's attentive, gentlemanly and with a lot of money.

-Mia dear, I don't care about money as long as I'm honest, I grew up in an orphanage where I learned to put up with deprivation and now that I have wealth, I don't see it as a whole.

It's better for both of you to have money, not for them to say that you're marrying for interest, like you did with your ex-husband.

-That's it Mia, you hit a nail in my soul, congratulations, you have a good gift, although I remember I dreamt about some of it.

-Ximena, tell me, I also have a gift for interpreting dreams, I inherited it from my gypsy grandmother.

I dreamt that I got married to Angelo and at the moment when the priest said if anyone objects let them speak now or forever hold their peace, my ex-husband appeared saying that he objected because we were still married, everyone in the church insulted me, I turned to see the priest and it was my disgusting uncle who was laughing, I go out to run and I am stopped by some armed men who have logos with a rifle, the same ones who killed my parents, it starts to rain something like rice but when it falls on the ground it turns into a white powder that goes up my nose making me speed up the world travelling to an old castle where Joseph is waiting for me with tea and biscuits, that is what I remember.

-Wow Ximena, that's complicated and worrying, my grandmother used to say that if you dream of a wedding there will be a funeral, you should also go back to Florence to replace out if you are separated and by the way say hello to don Joseph, you have told me a lot about that gentleman, my friend I can think of something, I will accompany you to give you some advice.

-Wait, Mia, first of all it's Sicily, not Florence, and I left those papers signed, that idiot should have signed them, he didn't give a damn about our marriage, as for don Joseph, I would like to visit him, although I'm afraid it's too late, the old man was very ill, that man was a love to me, he helped me to put up with all those absurd things.

-Ximena, I don't quite understand this mess of your arranged marriage.

-I've told you many times, I needed to get married to recover my real parents' companies, I was in a clause.

-Well, you would have married another guy.

-No my friend, it had to be with Don Joseph's grandson, it turns out that my real parents, they saved his life and in gratitude he decided to agree the union of the families through a sacramental union, it just didn't work out the way he wanted, he once told me that he admired my father for his bravery and my mother for her intelligence, he wanted grandchildren with those qualities that would help improve his family of egomaniacs.

-Come on Ximena, let's go there.
