You are definitely not worthy of marrying Aimee if you can't tell the difference between a mother-of-pearl white and a pearl white.- I agree, but the invitations are out and so are the reprimands," Aimee replied, rolling her eyes. Besides, there is the tiny detail that I love him.I burst out laughing and Saul looked sweetly at Aimee. They would be happy in their marriage and I was probably going to be surrounded by unbearable nieces and nephews, but ones I would love madly.- I'm telling you right now that I don't take care of the spawns that come out of you.I grabbed my cell phone to check the time and got up from my chair. I had to go to my appointment with the ophthalmologist and I couldn't be late or else I would be late.- I'll be back later, get out of my office now because I don't feel like finding you fucking when I get back.They left and I locked the door. When I arrived at the clinic I was greeted by an extremely kind nurse who showed me in, as there were no other patien

- I would laugh, but it's not convenient," I said, transporting myself back in time. Someone I know asked me the same question.- Really? Who was it? Was it your boyfriend?- No, the sister of a guy I know.- But he is not your boyfriend.- Nope, they are just acquaintances - I told him - I met them a short time ago.- I see, so what did you say to that girl who asked you the same question I asked you.- I can't drink alcohol all at once, as soon as I swallow it my stomach returns it - I answered him the same as Aimee and a big O formed in his mouth.- Wow, you are very interesting.He finished the tattoo and then I went to put on my clothes. I was wearing an open back blouse, so wearing a bra was not necessary.- How much do I owe you?He gave me the amount and I cancelled in cash, I was about to leave when he stopped me.- Your boyfriend is going to be fascinated with those tattoos and if he doesn't stay that way he's an idiot.I smiled at him and stopped at the entrance, he was an

- They did a good job, are you happy?I nodded and then took a painkiller, as my back was hurting. The chubby girl came into my room and sat on my bed.- How did it go in the capital?I told her everything, including the boy who had flirted with me. She was surprised by this detail and looked at me as if she wanted to tell me something. I encouraged her to do so, then she made up her mind.- Aren't you going to call that boy," she asked and I looked at her.- Is it the tattoo artist?- Obviously, yes, don't you plan to call him?- No, for the moment I feel fine and I have no doubts - I paused - or questions about the other area.- Why?- Because I told you my love life is a basket case.- You said that no man was going to look at you, but now you see that no, the one who is closed to the idea is you and I can't explain why, I am sure that the right person will understand what you did and why you did it, if he doesn't understand, he is simply not the right one and the moment will come

I looked at a large bus that was making express trips, so I stopped it and the driver got off. He was carrying passengers, but I kept hoping he might be able to help me a little.- Can I get you anything, miss? I'm in a bit of a hurry.- I need you to make me an express trip, I will know how to pay you well for your services.- Let me go drop off those passengers and then I'll come back.- All right - I told him - I thank you and I'll wait for you here.The driver left and I waited for him to arrive. The policeman stood waiting next to me and after a while he finally arrived.- Now tell me where you are going.- I will move all these people to a shelter where they will be calmer, so I need you to take them, I will guide them in my jeep.- Very well - he said, handing me a piece of paper - this is what I charge.- I will give you more since it is not an advance trip, but help me move them at this time.He nodded and all the people got on the bus. I got in my jeep and drove to the shelt

-That's right," I said, smiling. -What else do you want me to say? Surely my words are going to be repeated just as the other applicants repeated them, to the point that you already know them by heart. Therefore, I see no point in saying that I chose nursing because it is a noble profession, because I like to help others, or even because it will secure my finances. When I say "it fascinates me", I think it covers all these areas, except for the last one, since that is too banal and it is known that this profession is not so well remunerated for what you work for. However, many times the smile of a patient or a family member is the best payment there can be.-Then we won't pay you if we hire you," the doctor told me, and I smiled.-I don't care if I don't get paid," I told her, and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. -I just want to practice nursing, and I don't care about the money.I shut the doctor up and once the interview was over, I left. If they don't hire me, it doesn'

When Dr. Castelo was about to answer me, I turned my back on him and went in search of the patient's relatives. As I asked, a tall man with a woman approached.-Are you a relative of the patient? -I asked him, and he answered that it was his son. His father suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest, that is, when the lungs and heart stop working. We did everything possible, but unfortunately we were unsuccessful; he passed away.When I broke the news to the man, he turned red and grabbed me by my blouse, leaving me suspended in mid-air. Several people came to my aid, but he had a firm grip on me.-Give me back my father," he demanded. I brought him here alive, so he must be returned to me alive.-That is no longer in my hands. Simply put, your time has come and you must accept it.He shook me harder, and security personnel arrived along with Dr. Fernandez, who looked at me in surprise.-Please release the nurse," said Dr. Fernandez when he saw the situation. We do not want to resort to forc

-Stop wagging your tails like dogs at this doctor and get to work. You have a lot of things to do. I remind you that we are in an intensive care ward, not in a gossipy old lady's neighborhood.The resources went to work, and I looked at Dr. Castelo for the last time with eyes that warned him not to mess with me, because he was going to regret it. I continued to make my notes on the files that corresponded to me. When it was time to leave, I grabbed my things and left, but the boss stopped me.-You surprised me earlier, Lucia," he said smiling, "I never thought you had so much authority in you and so much character to make Castelo tremble. You always showed yourself to be an extremely sweet nurse.-I had not needed to bring up that side, but today I had no choice. Dr. Castelo, along with the resources there who look like puppets of this so-called ICU manager, exasperated me.-Well, at least I won't have to worry about you," he said. You have character, and Dr. Fernandez has your back.

She was sorry for what I said, and I took her by the arm to sit her down in the dining room. Then I went back to the kitchen, where the three little ones were waiting for me.-Would you like to help me, my mini chefs?-They said in unison, "Let's help him!They helped me, and after the sandwiches were ready, we sat in the dining room. I brought milk and juice for the children.-Well, let's eat.We all ate, and the children, after finishing, started to play. After a while, they fell asleep, and I put them to bed.-But Miss," said Mrs. Marianela, "they are dirty and their sheets are so clean.-That can be solved by washing them. Once we fix your situation, I will change the sheets and put them in the washing machine.-Are you going to help me?-Yes, I'm not going to leave her to her fate with three children. But tell me something, where is your husband?-He's working away, he's coming this weekend.-I see. Well, then let's go to your sister-in-law's to settle things. How many months' re
