"I think I have a curse," Lucas commented, catching my attention. He had a slightly bored and tormented grimace on his face, as if he had discovered something really bad.
"Now what are you going to come out with," I asked, putting my chin on my hand so I could hear what he was about to come up with, as the silence of the library surrounded us.
"Not one person is attracted to me and the guys I hook up with, they don't last more than a week. It's a calamity," he snorted hurt and I rolled my eyes with a smile, "It's not a joke, I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't find the love of my life."
"Go on living, you're not going to die from that."
"Says the one with four boyfriends," I widened my eyes and looked around, to make sure no one had heard anything my loudmouth friend said.
"What the fuck is wrong with you, Lucas?"
"Sorry, but it's not fair. I don't even have one and you took four," he snorted loudly and from where the library manager was standing, we heard a sound, indicating that we should be quiet, "The library is the worst place to gossip."
"I don't come here to gossip, I have to study."
"Wasn't it to hide from your beloved Madow," she questioned with a smile full of mischief and I sighed, controlling my senses.
"What makes you think that?"
"Why there he goes walking in," he pleaded and I immediately looked towards the entrance, but there was no one there and accompanied by that my best friend started laughing like a mad goat in the middle of the room.
"You're the worst, Lucas."
"One more warning and you're dismissed," the woman objected from her workspace and I nodded respectfully, since I couldn't control it.
"You're going to get me removed and I'm not done; you should go check out the new gossip with the other students," I watched him out of the corner of my eye, as I continued with my study.
"No, they just keep talking about your menotes and I'm irritated by their obsession," he whispered in my ear, as he left my side.
"They are not my hombresotes, I just work for them."
"As a sex toy, obviously."
I shrieked angrily, which immediately caused the manager's gaze to fall on me again and she glared at me. Then when she pointed to the door, I snorted.
Lucas looked at me innocently, shrugging his shoulders and I wanted to beat him to death for causing me to be ejected from the library.
It was true that I was hiding in it for Madow, but I was also hiding in it for the other three, since they weren't allowed in places where only students could enter, but I could also use the space and the silence to concentrate on what I was doing. I loved studying and above all, not being disturbed while I was doing it.
I walked through the halls of the university, looking for my locker, since I had to leave my books ready for the evening class and in that gap I had between classes, I dedicated myself to work.
I knew about things that not everyone could keep and the people who did, so my life revolved around underworlds and crime.
I was nothing like that, I just studied graphic design and management at the same time in college, because I wanted to live from it, but as a lack of resource, knowing how to manage my business I accessed one career too many.
The university gave me both careers because of my average in the exams, but I had to support myself and the woman I lived with, so I turned to people who knew other people.
"You're not going to believe this, but look at this," Lucas spoke, before showing me his cell phone almost glued to his nose. There was an image there that I didn't identify that close, but when I took the cell phone from him to check, I saw that there were the four men he worked for surrounding a car.
Madow and Astrophel seemed to be chatting leaning against the side of the car, while Axel was sitting on the hood of the car checking his cell phone and the last one, Iah, remained sitting on his bike behind the car.
"What are they doing here," I asked with bated breath.
"We'll have to find out," he looked at me a little intimidated, "No one knows the four of them are coming for you, that's going to cause a stir on campus."
