Charles drove north down the Avenida de los Italijanos along the ocean, soon getting lost in the city of 50 districts. But he was deep in thought, due to his excitement and thrilling prospect of this new life. Somewhere in the San Martin Square he got turned around but soon found his way back to Avenida del Libertador where Charles was driving back through the familiar, picturesque park, in the Recoleta District, near the townhouse. His heart raced with excitement as he finally pulled up in the driveway, parking his newly acquired, fine automobile, then he rushed in the house to show Felina the convertible and take her for a ride.
"Felina!" Charles cried out, his voice echoing through the house as he heard her call out to him from her room. Racing upstairs, nearly tripping, he stood at the threshold of her door as Felina sat at her vanity table, a little music box playing, she had just had a nice shower, her face scrubbed clean with a rosy glow, not a trace of make up on her clear bronze skin, dressed in a little white lacy summer dress, she was busy combing out her long dark hair; which looked like long, black, wet ribbons of silk cascading down her back and shoulders.
"Yes? What is all the excitement?" she asked looking back at his reflection in the mirror as he stood in the doorway.
"Come! I have something wonderful to show you!" Charles said with great enthusiasm grabbing her by the hand, bringing her downstairs in a hurry, her bare feet pattering on the tile floor as she was rushed outside. "What do you think?" he asked showing off the shiny Mercedes.
"Oh is this for me?" she said with a great and glorious smile.
Here suddenly Charles looked dejected and he stammered to apologize for giving her the wrong idea. "Oh my.., I see how you might have.., I am a complete idiot!"
Felina started laughing as she said "I am only teasing you!" she smiled giving him a friendly hug "I think it is a sharp looking vehicle, and I am glad to see you put some of your money to good use." Felina gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh, no. Your brother gave it to me." Charles smiled thrilled with all the wonderful news he had to share with his dear friend. But here, when these words came from his mouth, as the information was processed in her brain, Felina's expression of cheer and elation suddenly changed into a bitter look of utter disdain.
Felina froze where she stood, feeling completely numb inside, surprised by this sudden revelation, and this is when she realized her brother, once again, had interfered with one of her relationships. This was not the first time a man, she was interested in, had been lured away from her by Xation, with the promise of a position in his company, enticed away from her by her successful brother's wealth and power. "Oh.., I see?" she said with a deep tone of apathy as if to say 'I do not care, this does not matter to me'.
Charles was shocked by her reaction, he could not believe she had met this great news with a sudden, infinite sadness. "Felina, your brother has asked me to come and work for him, well, your family." he smiled warmly hoping to see a spark of merriment in her eyes.
"In what capacity?" Felina asked as she clenched her jaw, anger welling up in her heart.
"I am to go to the Estate on Monday, next week, to serve as the resident physician, in case of illness or injury." again he smiled with great affection but his happiness was not reflected in her eyes. So Charles asked her, taking her by the hands, looking down into her eyes as he towered over her "Felina, are you not happy for me? Is this not a good thing?"
Felina saw the hurt in her friends eyes and she knew she was just a selfish human being, but the last thing she could be for this unexpected situation was happy. "Congratulations." she said with all the pleasure of a woman who just found a cockroach in her food. With that she went back into the house leaving him outside as she slammed the front door behind her. Unsatisfied by her acrimonious reaction, and complete lack of enthusiasm, Charles stormed into the house where he found her just about to go upstairs.
"Felina, please." he implored "Tell me why are you not happy for me?" he said keeping his voice calm, never being quick to anger.
"Charles." she called him Charles, and this shocked him for he did not realize her brother had already informed her of his new identity. "I do not feel well anymore. I will go lie down now, for a little while."
Charles called out to her, but she would not look his way so he shouted loudly, to get her attention "Felina!" his voice booming throughout the great house.
Just as she was about to put her foot upon the first step she jumped a little startled by the loudness of his voice. Then, slowly she turned, inch by inch she walked back over to him, then spoke in a clear, authoritative voice of her own saying "I am sorry, but did you just have the audacity to raise your voice to me?" Felina glared up at him with all the fierceness of an enraged bull.
"Felina." Charles spoke slowly in a voice so small it was almost a whisper "I have brought you my exciting news of great joy, and yet you treat me so discourteously. Why? Have I offended you some way?"
Felina realized she must quell her anger towards him, for she was upset with her brother, and not her dear sweet friend, who had been through much to help her, and he could have no idea of how many times Xation had interfered with her relationships. So she tenderly put her hands to his face, then she embraced Charles warmly as she apologized. Then she took him by the hand saying in a calm, cheerful tone "I want you to come with me, we can sit and talk for a while." Felina led him into the living room where they sat next to one another on the comfortable silk and linen couch.
Charles held her hand giving her a strange, knowing smile saying. "Felina, there is only one reason I can think of, as to why you will not be happy for me in my new position with your brother's company." here he grew silent looking into her eyes as if he were about to impart a secret of the universe.
"Oh, then tell me Charles." she replied sarcastically "What could the reason ever possibly be?"
Here a brief pause of silence, only the sound of soft breathing, then Charles held both her hands in his and spoke telling her " The reason can only be, that you must be sexually attracted to me."
Felina said nothing, her only reaction was the rapid dilation of her pupils, her lips seemed fuller, with a rosy blush to her cheeks, a sudden redness to her chest and Charles could feel her hot breath on his skin as she leaned over and whispered in his ear. "Are you.., not attracted to me?" this caused his heart to race as his pulse quickened.
Charles drew back a little so he could see her face, gazing into her glimmering, dark eyes he felt Felina's hand upon his thigh. Now the question was answered with action, not words, when Charles slowly caressed her soft face moving his hand from her cheek, down her graceful neck, across her shoulders, her body responsive to his gentle touch. Her skin was supple, smooth as a rose petal, then he leaned closer to her mouth, placing a loving kiss on her full, moist, wet, pink lips, gently giving into her seductive desire.
"Felina!" Charles cried out, his voice echoing through the house as he heard her call out to him from her room. Racing upstairs, nearly tripping, he stood at the threshold of her door as Felina sat at her vanity table, a little music box playing, she had just had a nice shower, her face scrubbed clean with a rosy glow, not a trace of make up on her clear bronze skin, dressed in a little white lacy summer dress, she was busy combing out her long dark hair; which looked like long, black, wet ribbons of silk cascading down her back and shoulders.
