Chapter 2

Damion Filip

I woke up as soon as my alarm went off, I mean after looking around I see a pair of small blue eyes jumping on top of my bed, now do you understand my alarm clock? It's my 4-year-old daughter calling me as usual.

— Daddy, Daddy! - Cristal says, still jumping on my bed, I close my eyes again and turn my head, pretending to sleep.

"Wake up, daddy, you promised to take me to school today, let's go," says Cristal, I give up lying there and wait for a distraction, I pick her up and throw her on my bed, as I always do, hug her and smell mommy/ baby that she loves, I keep hugging her and I decide to look at the alarm clock to see what time it was, 6 am, I noticed that Cristal got out of bed. The custom was for me or our housekeeper Sabrina to wake her.

— Good morning, Πριγκίπισσα μου. “It means my princess, since she was born. The doctor placed that little package in my arms, and when I held her for the first time and saw her, the first word that came to my mind was my princess.

When she opened her eyes, I saw their color, it was a blue that reminded me of the sky on a cloudless day. I shake my head, pushing the thoughts away; and seeing that the time is passing, I tell her that it was time to take a shower and change. I watch her get off my bed at an impressive speed for a 4 year old, I head straight to the bathroom and take my shower.

The memories are still alive, I change and remember how Alanis, my ex-wife, used to say that I didn't pay attention to her anymore and that I only knew how to pay attention to Cristal.

Alanis has always been jealous of Cristal; when she told me she was pregnant, I was in heaven, because it was a part of me that was forming in her belly, but she didn't think that way, she wanted to be walking on a catwalk; when she was my angel's mother, she didn't want the child, so I had to force her to complete the pregnancy until the end, my relationship with her had ended a long time ago, I don't know how I could stand being close to her. My love ended the same day she threatened to take my child away from me.

She even said that she hated my baby, who, at that moment, won my heart, as soon as the months passed, Alanis was really beautiful pregnant, only on the outside, because inside she was ugly, I couldn't stand her anymore, I was just like this for because of my daughter

In those months, I suffered a lot, she complained, said that she was going to get fat because of her belly; during pregnancy she was unable to go to work and therefore stayed at home. Always complaining about everything, even when it came time to give birth, she complained and screamed to take that thing away from her, so I decided that I would not allow my daughter to suffer at her hand without love, without affection.

When the doctor said she was a girl, at that time, I myself decided that her name would be Cristal. The doctor gave it to the mother and Alanis simply ignored it and said she didn't want the child, so the doctor put that little package in my arms and my world changed, I decided, from that day on, that I would live for her and just to Is it over there. I pushed back the thoughts of the past again and went to meet Cristal, I called her and heard her downstairs, already waiting for me to have breakfast, I said good morning to Sabrina, served myself and watched how beautiful my daughter was, I thought with great pride. .

— Let's go, Cristal, to school, otherwise you'll be late — I call her and see her picking up the backpack that all girls like, with the theme of princesses.

I see her kissing Sabrina goodbye and I see that she must miss a mother figure. I also said goodbye to Sabrina and we went to school. Whenever I can, I take her to school, I work as a judge in the São Paulo courthouse, I have to deal with cases that I abhor a lot, violence against women, etc. I arrive at my little one's school, open the car door and she gets out. She hugs me and speaks with that affection:

— Daddy ayaattώ — I'm always touched by her speaking my language, Greek, and I answer.

— Σ 'αγαπώ πάρα πολύ την κόρη. - She gives me one more kiss and enters the school, I head out again, my cell phone rings and I put it on speakerphone.

“Speak up, Dimitri. — My advisor, who was studying to be a judge, was calling me from the courthouse.

It takes a while for him to respond.

“Damion, I'm calling to remind you that we have a hearing in a little while.

— I did remember, Dimitri, so much so that I'm on my way now — I answer — I finished talking and I only hear a knock, then I thought: Who is the son of a bitch who hit my baby? Oh there! You can laugh at me, who, in addition to my daughter, who is my baby, my car too, I get out of the car to get satisfaction from the person who hit him, when I get closer, I see that it's not a man, and yes, a beautiful woman, I get closer and my heart does that leap, so I think: I died and I'm in heaven, what woman is this? Beautiful, black hair and those eyes that were losing me. I mean I got lost in its.

I saw that she was a little strange, I was worried about her and asked the question:

"Lady, you are fine. — I see that she is taking a long time to answer me, when I was going to ask a new question, and she does:

“I'm sorry sir, I'm fine. — When I hear her voice coming out shaky and a little hoarse, my little friend downstairs gets all euphoric, I thought: Shit, not now.

I found it strange to speak up, I, who work in the midst of so many beautiful women, my little friend was not excited about them, never like that, I decide to check it out and how she is, trying to remove all kinds of thoughts I have with her, right now, I should be ashamed of my thoughts, but I'm not. Of course, the concern for her comes first, so I decide to speak right away:

"It doesn't look like it, you need to get out of the car," I tell her.

- But I am fine! she replies.

"Are you feeling something?" — I ask again as I open the car door, I see that she has a little dizziness and I hold her, I realize that that woman was beautiful, to stop traffic, my eyes went down all over her body and my little friend loved everything, she walks away from me and leans against the car again.

“But I am, don’t worry,” she replies, and I listen to everything, her apologizing for the inconvenience and asking me for my phone number, so I reach inside my jacket and pull out my personal card with my numbers. phones, I see that she went to the car window and took her card, it was from the insurance and on the back it had her name, when I was going to ask for a name.

— Nice to meet you, Samantha Ferrari — she says in that voice, my God! I want to hear her say my name, screaming with pleasure, I answer the greeting and say my name:

— Damion Philip. The touch of her hand in mine lit me up more than a Christmas tree.

She lets go of my hand, I see her walking away towards the car, as if she's running from me, she starts the car and drives away; me and standing there, seeing that perfection goddess Aphrodite leaving, I wait for her to turn the corner and I get in the car, I smile like a fool, I think: Damion, you look like a teenager, I go to the forum still thinking about that beautiful brunette. Will I ever meet her again?
