Chapter 94

comes out of his nose, he looks at Luz with a “help me please” face, but she just laughs. Now it seems horrible to think of a six-year-old girl with a twenty-three-year-old man, it’s abominable from where she sees herself. But it won’t be the same when the princess turns twenty and he’s thirty-seven, and he’s still single. -Princess, we wanted to talk to you about the honeymoon – Luz tells her sweetly, Charlize looks at them and smiles – -I’ll stay home with Evangeline, kids don’t go to those things. “Are you sure you’ll be fine without us?” – Of course – she tells him with a smile – But what Charlize didn’t want to say is that, growing up with an absent father and without a mother, being without them for a few days wasn’t so terrible. She had learned to live like this, alone, without the attention of the adults she loved and with the contempt of those who ignored her. Since she was little, she learned to put a wall in her heart, in case of disappointments, like the one she had suffered when Luz left and left her alone again, with an almost absent father, because at least she could go to her room and sleep with him. Charlize could bear this time that they went on a two-week trip to Italy, so that they could enjoy their married life. The three of them get up from the table and prepare for their tasks for the day. Gerard kisses Charlize on the forehead, along with a big hug. -Have a beautiful day, my beautiful princess. -And you too, daddy. May you win your case – she gives Gerard a kiss on the cheek and then he stands up to say goodbye to her Little Light- “I love you from her,” he tells her, pulling her to surround her with her arms. She thinks of me until we meet again. -Like every day -she stands for her on the tip of her feet and gives her a soft kiss on her lips-, even in the most terrible darkness of my life, I would never stop thinking about you. I love you, my king, my knight, my savior. She buries herself in Gerard’s chest, inhaling each other’s aroma, to inject energy for that day, they kiss as if they weren’t going to see each other for an eternity and leave hand in hand, Gerard gets into his car and Luz with Charlize leaves with George. The way to school is to talk about what they will do this weekend, Charlize wants to do many things and they all have to do with her little brother. -We must prepare the room for my little brother, you could leave the one next to mine. -I don’t think so, my princess, because I must be close to him or her. -But I also want to help take care of him – she tells him with a pout – -You will do it after doing your homework at school and when you are awake. Will you let me change his diaper? -Do you want to do it? -she asks amused- Charlize thinks for a moment and then laughs, wrinkling her nose. -I do not believe it. Arriving at school, the two get out and walk hand in hand to the entrance, the guard tells Luz that the principal wants to talk to her, so the two walk inside, Charlize goes to her classroom and Luz to the office. When she enters, somewhat nervously, the director stands up and approaches her with a smile. -Good morning, Miss Mendez. -Good morning, director, they told me that she needed to talk to me. -Yes, take a seat-Luz does as she says and the woman takes a seat behind her-her desk. I wanted to congratulate her, Charlize is advancing very fast, she tells me that she studies with you at home and it is very possible that we will pass her level. -Bu-but .., excuse me, that moves me a lot, really yes-she answers him proudly-. But I’m afraid I should talk it over with Gerard, he’s the father and… -I understand her, but he was categorical when he enrolled Charlize in this school, that everything she knows referred the little girl, you could decide without waiting for his approval. Luz is left to nothing for a while, for a long time now she has made decisions, without realizing it, that have helped the princess. This time she will not be left behind. -Well, then we’ll do the following. I’ll talk to both of them, because I’m very interested in what Charlize has to say about this, but I’d like the school psychologist to evaluate her and tell us if she’s recommended. -That’s already done, when we want to propose advancement to a family, it’s after being sure that the student will be fine, so now it’s just a family decision. Thanks To you, you have a beautiful and very intelligent girl, keep it up. Luz says goodbye to the woman and leaves the school with a huge smile, her chest puffed out and she wants to prepare something special for the little princess, which she is almost sure she will accept. – George, to the mall, please. Sure, Luz sits behind George, just like she always does, and she
