She liked me a lot, and proposed me I too responded positively.It was when she had to go to her native place (She is from a northern state) and said c...an I stay @ your home if you don’t mind. I don’t know why I had a feeling that no not this girl I was controlling the animal inside me and said don’t stay with me consequences will be different trust me. But she came to stay with me forcibly. I stay alone in an apartment and it’s at a very good and peaceful location. I brought some drinks for me. “Why not? You have pants on.” Jake pointed out.“I almost didn’t.” Nick sighed. “I expected a field agent.”Jake rolled her eyes. “I can take whatever they can. I’m not some sheltered American schoolgirl.”“No, you’re not.” Nick had heard Raoul’s story of fleeing rural Colombia with his thirteen year old daughter three years ago. “But your father does prepare all of our food and I’d like to not be poisoned for corrupting you.”“Papa wouldn’t poison you. He says you’re a blessing sent by God.” Jake. And love--God how he needed it--was on his mind!Julie gathered the stamina to take a shower, wash her hair and put on fresh makeup. Her constant presence around the apartment was becoming a point of contention with Ertha, she knew, though Ertha was too kind to say so. But then, if Julie had as many male visitors as Ertha, she'd feel uncomfortable with another woman around, too.Now, driving toward the beach, she felt an unexpected and undeserved calmness, a self assurance that all would work out. A line of upper classmen wedged their waybetween Austin and me. I was knocked off balance and would have fallenif Shelly hadn't steadied me."Come on," she said grabbing my arm, "before we get crushed." Then wewere caught up in the press of bodies forcing us to move or be trampled.I tried to look back, a part of me wanting to tell Austin I took backwhat just happened, but the bigger students blocked my view. By the timethe hall cleared he was gone. He hadn't even bothered to follow.I brooded.
