How to save our Christmas

Chapter two _ The match

- 𝐵𝑒𝑛 𝐴𝑓𝑓𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑘 -

We talked for a while there and Jennifer struck me as a kind woman, a little loud, but kind.  I decided to call Carlos and ask him to take us to the nearest police station.

And that's what he did.  Carlos and I stayed in the car while Jennifer went to file a police report.

- AAAAH WHAT A RAGE!  I looked towards the front of the police station where Jennifer was standing freaking out.

- What happened?  Didn't find the thief?  - I asked getting out of the car and going to her.

- I wish that was it, Benjamin.  They won't do anything!  All because we are close to Christmas Eve.  -she snorted.

- Yeah, that sucks.  I shrugged, putting my hands in my pockets.  - Well... If you want... I can rent a hotel for you.

- No, I'll pass on the offer, but no.  I hate having to depend on people for money.  - she denied embarrassed.

We were near the car when she jumped up which startled me.

- Wait!  I had an idea.  -she said happily.

- Boss knows that Lady Cora hates being late.  - Carlos got out of the car pointing to his wristwatch.  I probably have a few minutes to go back home and pack my things.

- Wait another minute.  I waved at him to get in the car.  Now I wanted to hear Jennifer's idea.

- We can spend Christmas together!

- This is crazy.  I can't arrive with a stranger, sorry.  But I can't do that.

- Well... I can help and we are no longer strangers.  It will just be an exchange of favors.  I don't spend Christmas alone and you don't tell your family that you were betrayed.  It's simple!  -her idea didn't make much sense, but at the time of the championship I would accept it.  It's better than telling everyone I was dumped for a woman.

- What if I agreed to do that?

- It's just the weekend.  Then I disappear from your life and you get a real girlfriend.  -she said a little excited.

- Let's do it then.  Just a weekend?  I extended my hand towards her.

- A weekend.  We shook hands and walked back to the car.

- Carlos, you can take us straight to Lady Cora.  I asked and he looked at me in astonishment.  If anyone found out that Jennifer was a mere stranger to me, everything would go up in smoke.

- Wow... Your family has a big house, you all live here?  -Jennifer asked when we got out of the car in front of the beautiful Affleck's mansion.

- Not really, this is just the house to spend Christmas.  I looked at her smiling.  The face of someone who was in shock with so much luxury was impossible not to laugh at her.

- See you later, boss.  Carlos gave a nod and headed toward the entrance gates.  As of now he was off duty.

- Lets go in?  - I took her by the hand and walked towards the huge door decorated with Christmas ornaments.

- We met in a coffee shop, didn't we?  -Jennifer asked about the story we would tell.

- That's right, and we started going out about... Two weeks ago.  I whispered in her ear.

- BENJAMIN!  -Lady Lucia, Lady Cora's governess came to the two of us.  - How are you?  He hugged me tight.  - And who is this girl?  -Finally she saw Jennifer.  Sometimes she ignored the girls I dated.  Although in reality Jennifer and I don't have anything.

- Er... Aunt Lu, this is my new girlfriend.  Jennifer.  I put my hand on her waist and she gave the older one a half smile.

- New girlfriend?  And where is Ana?  Does your mother know about this?  -If Lu found out, we'd both be screwed.

- I broke up with Ana.  - swallow dry.

- Nice to meet you, Lou.  -Jennifer extended her hand to her and she made a face.

- My daughter, for you it is Mrs. Lucia.  Only Ben can call me that!  - corrected it.

- AUNT LU!  - I scolded her.  Jennifer was uncomfortable.  - Well, now that you know each other, why don't you take Jenn to her room?  We had some events and we lost her clothes.  -I left the two looking at each other and decided to look for my mother.

I walked through the inner hall of the house and did not find her.  So I decided to see in the backyard, my mother was with her sister Gabriela.

- Good evening.  I stopped next to my aunt who smiled and greeted me.

- How you doing, Ben.  Where is Ana?  -Oh God, would everyone ask for her?  Yes, after all I had been with her for over two years.

- I broke up with her.  I shrugged as if it didn't bother me.

- How did you get separated, Benjamin.  She was a golden girl!  My mom butted in as she sipped her champagne.

- Hi Mom.

- Oh!  Hi Paola.  You know you're not old enough to call me mom.

- You got it, mom, Paola.  I rolled my eyes and went back inside the house.  I hope Jennifer is already dressed, the family dinner should be ready by now.

- What's up... Cousin.  How are things?  Daniel slapped me on the back.

- Daniel, what manners are these?  - his wife, Bruna scolded him.  He normally acts like a spoiled brat, nothing new.

- All right, Bruna.  - I greeted her.  I treat her more like my family than he does.  For me we could have thrown him away while there was time.

- Come on love, this is just a cousins ​​joke!

- I know... But Ben doesn't like those things.  Only you play it like a child!

- All right, it was bad cousin.  Where is Ana who is not here with you?

- Really, Ben.  I didn't see my partner playing chess?

- Well... So... -I scratched the back of my neck looking for a good answer for them.  Telling them that I was done with them wouldn't be enough for Daniel.

- Papi... - the three of us look at the stairs behind me and find Jennifer.  She was wearing a very pretty red dress with curly hair and red lipstick prominently on her lips.  Fuck, she was so hot!
