convince herself
that she had the right to reproach him that he had broken the contract, that
she could demand to know if he had been lying from the beginning, but she
didn’t find the words. She got into the car expecting he would say something,
but Roberto didn’t say a word. Actually, he wasn’t interested neither in what
she had to say, because as soon as they left the parking lot he turned up the
music, avoiding any kind of conversation.
    Roberto managed to reduce the
journey by stepping on the gas, but even so those twenty minutes were the
longest and most uncomfortable minutes of their lives. When finally the car
stopped in front of Sara’s house, he didn’t say goodbye nor softened his
expression. He was furious with her and she knew it perfectly, but she couldn’t
leave. She turned down the volume until the music reached a low tone.
    “You’re in love with me?”
    Probably it wasn’t the more
appropriate question, but it was the one that slipped her lips. He shook his
head but it didn’t look as a denial, he simply seemed dismayed.
    “Come on, leave.”
    “But—“
    “I don’t want to talk with you
right now, Sara, please.”
    But she didn’t want to leave. She
wanted to argue with him, to yell at each other, to make things clear finally.
    “You’ve broken the contract.”
    “That contract doesn’t worth a
shit, Sara. But I don’t want to argue, go home.”
    “Maybe the contract is not a legal
document, but I had your word” she insisted.
    “Sara” he turned to her, startling
her. “I’ve broken the contract, right? I didn’t keep my word. Ok then. We take
separate ways from now. Let’s forget this has happened. Leave.”
    She looked at him for a moment and
then she decided to give up and opened the door. The best thing they could do
was to leave things as they were, at least for that night. They would talk
about it another day. Or maybe they should do as he had said: forget everything
that had happened. They didn’t have anything to talk about, they couldn’t keep
being fuck buddies so there was no need to argue about it.
    Her heels were already on the
sidewalk when she heard him laugh. Surprised, she turned and looked at him.
    “Do you know which the funniest
part is?” he asked. “That I haven’t broken your fucking contract. One of your
clauses stated that my feelings for you shouldn’t change and they hadn’t. I’ve
been a fool getting involved in this, I thought—“ he interrupted his words and shook
his head. “The guy at the disco was right, you’re a cock-teaser.”
    “Don’t you dare to call me that
again. You’re a liar and a manipulative man. Susana was right.”
    “Susana? What does Susana have to
do with—? Oh, of course. I thought about it when you told me that you were
still friends, but I hoped that she wouldn’t remember. Then you know
everything, right?” he sounded defiant.
    “I know that when we were in high
school you told her that you liked me.”
    “And you put two and two together,
right? You realized that the way I behave with you wasn’t the manner of a man
who only wanted sex.”
    “I knew it before she told me
anything. I asked you several times if you were trying something and you looked
at me and lied. You repeated again and again that I didn’t have anything to
worry about, that you behave like that with your friends.”
    “And what did you want me to say,
Sara? That I was in love with you and that our relationship as fuck buddies
couldn’t work? I’ve been interested in you since before high school and only
now you were paying me some attention. I preferred this to nothing, I had the
hope that eventually your feelings for me would change, that your injuries
would heal and that you’d give an opportunity to a true relationship. Because
maybe you don’t believe in love, but I’ve been in love with you for more than
ten years, even without being next to you, without seeing you— Fuck, Sara!
You’re the love of my life, the one
