After five minutes I see Derek appear through the doors of the building. I immediately blush knowing that he was Simone's boyfriend. When he was closer, I separate from the car and go to the passenger door.
“Listen Daniel, regarding what you heard…”
“Oh no, no, nothing's wrong man. Quiet "I interrupt" I'm sorry to have interrupted such an intimate moment," my smile does not fade and I get more and more heat due to shame.
"Can you stop blushing and wait for me to explain?"
I frantically deny, “no boss, everything is fine, seriously, now let's go to work please" I look at the road, I don't know why this affects me so much. Perhaps it's the sole fact that I didn't believe that a six-foot-tall, muscular, attractive man with green eyes and full lips was gay.
The road is silent and only the voice of AC / DC is heard in the environment. When I arrive at the place I look at everything, it is a huge field, of course that building will be luxurious and spacious.
"Here we are" he smiles "you can see others work, so you can learn," he looks at me and I at him with a huge smile on my lips. Derek smiles warmly at me, "when our work comes I'll let you take care of everything."
I open my eyes and they almost fall out of place, “really?" I ask in disbelief, "but…but ...are you serious boss?"
His smile widens and attractive dimples are marked on his short-bearded cheeks, “you showed me that you could do this the day you read the plan without having seen it before, and besides that, you gave me the fantastic idea of how to put a safety column in a way that would contribute to the design," he bites his lips and details me thoroughly, then he looks me in the eye again, "and you made it more clear today that you have faced Yazahib."
Without stopping smiling, I bite my lip and nod, “I am not one of the women who likes to be seen as stupid. If Yazahib thinks he can play with me, "I shook my head, " he is going to crash against the wall, and I know he was not doing anything with her, but he must respect me even in my absences," I sigh, " now boss ... let's not make this uncomfortable, I understand that he is your best friend and I don't want to put him in an unpleasant situation, ”I turn and look at the workers, but quickly look back at him, “you won't tell Yazahib about this, will you? Because if that's the case, I would be twice as angry and it would be your fault, boss.”Giving him another smile, I walk to the booth where the uniforms are and I put on my jacket with safety straps and my helmet.
“Know something?" Derek says standing next to me “we can be friends, you know? We should not necessarily behave like a boss and an employee.”
I stop my march and look at him with amusement, “this getting along with my bosses like that is not good. Just look at my position with my first boss,” he smiles and looks away, “yes Mr. Klein, that arrogant, jealous, possessive and shitty billionaire, took advantage of being my boss to make me fall in love. Do you think I'm going to risk being friends with my controlling boyfriend's best friend? We all have a level of stupidity and mine does not reach that much," I look at him mischievously, “but on the other hand, I can help you with Simone. You make a beautiful couple," laughing, I turn around and when doing so I crash with someone, “oh my God” I screeched from the impact. When I look up my eyes look at the man in front of me with bewilderment.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to pass out again," upon hearing him, I laughed with amusement.
"Luckily, it scared me to death," I hold out my hand, "it's a pleasure to see you again sir," I look into his eyes and he immediately shakes my hand.
"I'm Frank Hills, nice to meet you" he looks at me curiously.
"Nice to meet you Mr. Hills, I'm Daniel López" I smile at him and his gesture is incredulous. "Okay? Mr. Hills, are you okay?” I ask again when I see that he does not stop looking at me with his pale face. I look at Derek who walks up to the dumbfounded man in front of me.
“Frank, man breathe. I know the girl is sexy, but you should breathe,” says Derek joking with the man, he seems to come back to reality and lets go of my hand.
"I'm so sorry" he laughs nervously, is he breaking into a sweat? "I ... I ... I must go" he stutters and clumsily separates from Derek and me, "see you later" with a last smile adorning his lips, he leaves. I look at Derek and he shrugs his shoulders, clarifying that he doesn't know anything.
"I can only say that he is a healthy man, they told me about the gala" he looks at me amused and with a big smile, “do you see what you cause in men?" He cackle.
"Less in you apparently," laughing, I start to walk to continue with the work, I want to learn as much as I can.

Tired from work and university, I wait for my Darling. My friends have left at my request, today I just want to talk to Simone and explain why he did not tell me that he had had such an important relationship as the one he had with Derek.
"Teddy" a brand new white car pulls up in front of me. I lean a little to look out the window. My friend is smiling happily, "come on, come on, they'll think you're a prostitute" I roll my eyes and open the door, the smell of new stuffs invades my nostrils, but now I just want to know one thing.
"Tell me about Derek, how long have you known each other? Why didn't you tell me about that relationship?” When my friend goes to protest, a huge hand reaches through the open window and grabs his shirt.
"Oh my God, oh my God, what catastrophe is happening?" shouts my friend and I hysterically start to remove that powerful hand clinging to me. Two men enter the back and the cries of my friend and mine become more desperate. Not knowing what to do, I started hitting them with my bag but they snatched it from me. My hysterical Darling and I started slapping and yelling louder.
"Stop yelling!" upon hearing Yazahib's shrill voice, Simone and I shut our mouths., "damn, you yell a lot." Simone and I looked at each other and then we looked at the man sitting in the back with my bag in his hands and with an angry expression. "Why didn't you tell me you bought a new car?" He look at Simone.
"But I was just going to say it" my friend's voice is broken, he's as scared as I am, “you're crazy!" he says reacting to the situation, his eyes crystallize, "your gorillas and you have scared me to death" he takes his trembling hand to his face.
"I'm sorry, I thought it was a stranger."
I glare at him, “are you crazy?" I yell at him, "Yazahib, you can't do something like that just because I'm in a car you don't know."
Yazahib raises an eyebrow, “of course I can. Nobody, absolutely nobody touches my wife, much less takes her in his damn car like Derek the idiot did," he looks at Simone and my Darling looks away, “get out of the car, I'll drive," he gets out of the car just like his men, "I want you to go after the car, don't go too far" he orders his men and then opens the door. My Darling gets out and gets into the back of his own car. Yazahib gets behind the wheel and I cross into the backseat from the passenger’s seat to stay with my friend. Both nervous and even scared we hugged.
"You're an idiot" I growled at him and seeing his intimidating gaze through the rearview mirror I also glared at him. Yazahib loses a lot of control and that is not good.
