Inseparable

chapter 7

We arrive at Beniers' office. I hear voices. I hear a distinctive voice. My father.

"Don't worry love, if he dares to do something I'll throw him out of the window and he will never see the light of day again" I playfully push him and laugh. We go in. The father sees me surprised. He approaches me but Apollo enters in front of me and he gives a death stare to my father.

"We haven't met Mr. Perez, have we?" Apollo says and gives his hand

"John Perez, a businessman in Spain" he says and shakes his hand

''Apollo Martinez, I run one of the biggest businesses in the world'' My father froze. He looked at Apollo's neck. A tattoo. First time I see it.HE RUNS A BUSINESS?

"segreto" what does that mean. I'll ask him later. My father saw the tattoo and his eyes widened. He couldn't stand up straight and sat in a chair. It probably shocked him about the business. I didn't even know him. I really don't know anything about his life.

"Nice to meet you Apollo"

''huh? you do?'' Apollo answers nervously. He clenches his jaw and hits his fist on the table.

"I'm glad my daughter is hanging out with people like you, you're very successful and you seem like a good person"my father says a bit frightened.

"Okay now stop the compliments. I will take care of her, even if someone close to her goes to harm her. Do you understand?"

"Y-yes" my father says scared. First time I see him like this. The others were always afraid of him. Apollo put an arm around my waist and pulled me out of the hall.

"Excuse me, do you have one of the biggest businesses in the world?"i said to him confused and really surprised

"Yep" he says proudly

"And you didn't bother to tell me?"

''No need''

"Are you kidding me now?" Although many thoughts about shopping, clothes, shoes, jewelry and perfumes crossed my mind with the money he has in front of me.

''I know what you're thinking..'' he says, looking at me, smirking.

"No you don't"

"We'll go shopping in the afternoon so I can get you what you want"

"no need"

"Okay, I'll go shopping by myself, no matter if I have terrible style."

"Okay, you convinced me". My joy is unimaginable. No one has ever come shopping with me. I always thought that I would go with my friends like in the movies. But unfortunately I have no friends.

As we were walking we saw my father talking to Brad. They were laughing and talking. My father has never done this to me before... Apollo looked very hurt but angry .He hugged me and we went to the break room. I love books, but I doubt for him. He looks different. I tried to grab a book and couldn't reach it. A body stuck behind me. A hand appeared above my head and grabbed the book

"here" Apollo says and laughs

"Why are you laughing?" I look at him plaintively

"you're just too short"

''thanks'' I say ironically.I go near him and touch his shoulder with mine

"see there is no big difference"

"whatever you say love" he says and bursts out laughing. I can't do anything else, I go to the other corridor. I fall on top of someone.

Brad

"hey" I try to avoid him. He grabs my wrist and brings me close to him. He looks at me curiously. Why? He looks at my wrist and then at my face. I pull my wrist and tell him

''what's wrong with you?''

''how?''

''what do you mean how?''

"How come you don't get hurt when I touch you"

"Is that what you want?" he doesn't answer

"If you want it so bad, you can get hurt by my touch and it will cause you so much pain" I say and punch him in the face. I leave as fast as I can. I go out. Out. Apollo didn't understand what happened logically

"Sofia! what happened love"

"nothing important, can we get out of here now?" we head to his car

"You know that calling me 'love' is very stupid" 

"I'm not stupid, I know a lot of things and I also know that this nickname is for precious people" he says and I laugh. He doesn't laugh

"Oh? You're serious?"

"yes I'm serious" I couldn't help myself I burst out laughing again.

Apollo's pov

God I love that laugh.

I love to make her happy

I love to see her happy

I want it to stay like this forever.

I wish we could be together

I wish I could explain everything to her

I wish I could tell her who I am

all lies

I would do anything for her

she may not understand now but she will later.

She will understand how important she is to me.

She will understand that our meeting was not accidental

I want to tell her everything.

Sοfia, I love you

I always loved you

..................................................

we arrived at a dress shop. In a few days it's the prom. We have to find clothes. I need a nice dress. There is no better person than Apollo to choose. We go in and my attention is caught by a long dark green dress. I run over it and take the small piece. I put it on. I look beautiful. I go out and Apollo was looking at some other dresses. As soon as he sees me he can't take his eyes off me. He comes closer and looks me in the eyes

"Sofia you are so beautiful"

"stop it, I'm blushing" I say mockingly

''It's very nice but it's very expensive love, sorry'' I was disappointed, never mind.

''It doesn't matter, we'll get something else'' Apollo took a short beige dress that is for everyday. But not like the previous one, I had fallen in love with it. He got tired and left for the hotel. I went to buy shoes. I bought a pair Silver heels. Goes well with the dress, but more so with the green. Too bad.

Apollo said he would wait for me downstairs so we could go out to eat, but I wanted to change clothes. I went upstairs and opened the door with the keys since no one was inside. I went to the closet to put something for dinner and a bag caught my attention.

A note

"You thought I was stupid, right? You thought I had no style? You thought I'd let you go to prom in something so cheap? Honey, the dress you asked for is right in. Sometimes it's nice to play games with someone you care about.The price of the dress is like one of my breakfast meals,cheap.

Apollo J. Martinez''

I don't believe it

he is so crazy
