Narrates Aaron.

I am at the bar "la Caprichosa" at eleven o'clock at night we are all a little tipsy, except Roberto (a friend from college, who came to visit Mexico) Ricardo and me.

Carlos is playing cards at the table with my father-in-law, my father and some of his cousins ​​that I don't know, I am at the bar settling the bill and ordering two bottles of tequila, since we have decided to go to Carlos's apartment to continue the party, in the afternoon he took food, snacks, soft drinks, among other things, so I pay and when I turn around with a young woman and she throws her drink on my clothes, when I look at who she is, I see that she is the same young woman He attended me at the entrance of the restaurant, but it has to be a mistake, it can't be or can it?

- Excuse me sir! Forgive me, it was not my intention. - He says with wide eyes.

- No problem, but what are you doing here? - He looks at me strangely.

- I came with some friends, but I think that is something that you do not have to mind, sir, because I hardly know you.

- In that you are right, do not worry about the clothes, it is just that clothes. - I want to ask you about your reaction this afternoon but I do not know if it is imprudence, because to hell, I will not be left with the doubt. - You can accompany me to the exit please, I would like to ask you something.

- Sure, I just let my friends know. - I nod, she walks away I see her talking to one of them, who congratulates her on something, we are on our way to the exit, I see some friends say goodbye and leave, others They are already on their way to the apartment, I see the young woman nervous, so without further questioning.- What is your name?

- Maria José, why sir?

- And your surnames? - I want to get rid of the doubt, which has eaten me since the afternoon.

- I don't see any importance.

- Of course it is important, tell me, please.

- It is… it is Ferrer Galicia, but well, I already told you, so good night see you later. - Just like my mother, but how? I see her walk away, I'm going to follow her when she interrupts me, Carlos.

- Friend, my friend of the soul, you know that I love you very much, I love you very much, I know it, right? I loved you as my brother-in-law and look in a week you will marry my sister.- He is tipsy, so tipsy that no You can stand up, I just hope it gets down a bit, because if not the surprise will fall apart.

- There friend, you are very drunk, come on, let's go to the car, it's time for you to eat something, let's go. - The good thing is that when he's drunk he is not stubborn.

- My love, my moon, my sun, my oxygen, "there is, there, there, there, sing and don't cry, because singing makes my dear dear hearts happy" my Natt, my love Where will you be? What will you be doing? Will you remember me? - If you only knew.

This is how Carlos spent the entire course at his apartment, singing and saying tongue twisters, in order to keep sane, we greet the doorman and went to the elevator, we entered and dialed the number of his apartment, Carlos continues to sing but now in French, what I didn't know he spoke French.

We arrived at the door after struggling to get him off because the idiot said that we were on the wrong floor, that he would miss his flight because he wanted to go to the Bahamas or the Marias Islands, he did not want to get off for any reason, so I told him that I would have pizza and chocolate cake for dinner, it was only to mention the chocolate cake, and there was nothing more to say.

We enter the apartment and it is all dark, you cannot see much, when leaving Carlos on the couch a sensual music begins, I turn behind my back when I feel something touch me, I see a woman dancing to the rhythm of the music, I scream because she brings a The nun's mask with a knife in his hand, Carlos when he heard me he woke up screaming, he turned to avoid a stab and jumped the chair, Carlos follows me to the door as he tried to open it, he can't have insurance.

- There is no! No, no, noooo.

- Open him, Aaron, what are you waiting for?

- I can't, you can't.

- But what nonsense are you saying, take off, I'll open it.

- Do not stain, you can not. - Sacred heart that can be opened.

Aaron, hey wake up, hey! We are already at the building. - I hear Carlos wake me up, but what? Bone how? It was a dream?

Carlos, where are the nuns and Freddy krueger?

- What are you talking about Aaron? And the drunk is me huh. - But what happened, it was so real.

- But it didn't happen? - I ask him, since I think I fell asleep and had a very strange dream.

- Well, we got to the building, Carlos was singing and you fell asleep. - Roberto says, but how? If I drive.

- But how can that be if I drive? - When I say that they both make fun of me. - But why are they laughing?

- Look, you just put Carlos in the truck and settled next to him, so I drove, it was clearer to you. - How strange is the first time that happens to me? Even though I haven't been able to sleep in several days, maybe that's why I fell asleep.

- Yes, but hey, we wait, let's continue the party.

- Yes, to be able to call my love I need more alcohol.

- No, you are crazy, you are already drunk. - Carlos is crazy if he takes more, it will spoil everything.

- You better have water and dinner so that you get off, and if after that you want to follow him, then you do.

- Okay, go ahead my braves. - I think it's not just taken, since it seems to be hallucinating.

We move forward, we greet the doorman who is accompanied by my dream, since he brought him pizza and cake, he deserves it, he is a good person and very honest.

When I get to the elevator, I see the clock and its fifteen to twelve at night, I just hope Carlos can eat to regain his strength, much to his bachelor party surprise. My father-in-law dials the number of the floor, the elevator moves very fast in my opinion, we arrive and enter the apartment, I can see that they are all in the dining room, the counter and in the living room, they are laughing at God knows what, Carlos is I settle in an armchair, Ricardo brings a pizza box and natural water, as soon as Carlos sees the pizza he rushes at her as if he had not eaten in a long time. I just hope Natt isn't late.

Narrates Natt.

I'm on my way to my love's apartment, I'm euphoric and impatient, since I don't know how that is, it seems unreal to me, what if Carlos doesn't like it, I couldn't bear his contempt, but what are you doing? Natt thinks that everything will be fine. Everything will work out, I just hope it's not too taken.

I park the car, next to Carlos's truck, I look at the clock and it's half past twelve, it's fine, it's early, there's little god! What I do? Do I wait longer or am I going in? Better send a message to Aaron that he is here, no, but they must be having a good time and if I go, but how do I go if everything is ready. There is already Natalia! For the love of God, move on and whatever happens.

I grab my bag, turn off the engine, close my jacket tightly, look at myself in the mirror for the fifth time, and without thinking about it I get off, walk with confident steps to the entrance, greet the doorman and without further advance to the elevator, open quickly and I go up without wasting time, I mark the floor. I feel my hands sweat, my shoes tighten me, I feel full of nerves and insecurity, but I am determined it is now or I will never dare to do it, the doors open, I resolutely ring the bell. Soon I Aaron opens, I can see that my father-in-law, Aaron's father and the other friends of Carlos and Aaron are saying goodbye.

There is shame, I pass without hesitation, I say hello and they all return the greeting, say goodbye to me and pass by me to get out of here, Aaron stays, to inform me that everything is ready, he wishes me luck and tells me that Carlos is is bathing, we say goodbye and without more comes out.

I am left alone in what will be my house in a short time, I observe everything, I can see that it is clean, apparently they collected everything well before leaving, I go to the kitchen for a glass of water, to pass the knot of nerves that I feel, Not feeling it anymore, I go to the bedroom that will soon be mine.

I can hear the shower, I don't doubt it anymore I take off my jacket because I feel too hot. I approach with stealthy steps, the door is half open, I enter without further hesitation, and I can see Carlos in the shower since the doors of it are transparent, he is humming a song. I try to open without making noise, when Carlos feels my presence turns around and then what had to happen happen. And it was the best night of my life, of that unforgettable night, it is very difficult to forget.
