The Casa Del Castaneda

Stare Full of Meaning

Paloma looked in wonder at Rafael. A moment later, the gaze of the beautiful woman with her neatly combed short hair, turned to the brown paper bag proffered on her. “What is this, Rafael?” ask Paloma before receiving the shopping bag.

“Take and wear. I think, the size is suitable for you,” said Rafael still thrusting paper bag held by him.

Paloma looked doubtful as he received the paper bag. His eyes were wide open perfectly, when he saw the contents inside the paper bag. Especially when he gets it out of there. “You?” Paloma's gaze implied a sense of incomprehension.

“Night's dress for you. I hope you like it,” said Rafael accompanied by a calm smile. Without saying much, he turned around. The man sat down on the chair, to enjoy the coffee that had cooled down. Rafael said nothing more. He was busy typing something on his phone screen.

Paloma smiled. He doesn't know what to do. However, this was Rafael's sweetest treatment towards him, since they were married. “Thank you. This is a very beautiful dress,” Paloma said before entering another room from the room. He's about to change clothes.

Rafael, who was seen seriously sending a message with someone, turned his head for a moment. The man nodded slowly accompanied by a calm smile. She followed Paloma until she disappeared behind the door.

A little while later, Paloma came out of the room where he changed clothes. She is so beautiful and looks so graceful. As expected Rafael, the dress was very fitting in Paloma's body. However, the brunette looked uncomfortable. He was constantly holding his wide-open back.

“It's okay. You look so pretty,” flatter Rafael stares in admiration at Paloma.

“Is this dress not too open?” thought the unaccustomed Paloma was wearing clothes like those attached to his body at the moment.

Rafael put his phone on the table. He got up from the chair, then walked closer to Paloma. The handsome man stood before the owner of the hazel eyes. “This is a woman's evening dress. You don't have to worry. There will be no one who dares to mock you, because you .. You look so amazing in this beautiful dress,” said Rafael meaningfully.

Paloma was stunned for a moment to hear the words of the man who was still her husband. He returned with a sweet smile. Paloma nodded slowly. She stood in front of the mirror to tidy up makeup. As usual, Paloma only applied thin makeup on his face.

“I'll take you to Casa del Castaneda,” said Rafael.

“I can take a taxi,” reject Paloma smooth.

“It's already night. Anyway, I'm not in any job.” Rafael is forcing.

“Not necessary. I don't want to trouble you,” Paloma said again refused. He put on his shoes and took the bag. Paloma was preparing to leave.

“Please, Paloma,” pinta Rafael half force.

“You do not need to be excessive like this,” said Paloma.

“This is not an exaggerated attitude. I just wanted to drive you. Take it easy, I will not come in and interfere with your dinner.” Rafael immediately turned around, when Paloma would already respond to his remarks. He grabbed the items on the table, then walked towards the door. Rafael invites Paloma to come out first.

Paloma exhaled slowly while shaking his head. However, he did not want to be late to Casa del Castaneda, so he had to stop arguing with Rafael. Paloma stepped quietly out of the room. He waited for a while, until Rafael finished locking the door. They walked together to the elevator.

The journey from the hotel to Casa del Castaneda, takes only about fifteen minutes. The car, driven by Rafael, has arrived in the front yard of the magnificent building owned by the landlord of the largest olive plantation in the municipality.

Rafael is coming down. He opened the door for Paloma. “If you're done, just call. I'll pick you up here,” the gray-eyed man's message. Rafael looked meaningfully at the woman before him, who only nodded slowly. The man did not move from where he stood. He was still looking at Paloma.

“I go in first,” said Paloma. He passed from the presence of Rafael who was still glued near the vehicle. Paloma strode out, in the direction where a tall, well-built man was waiting for him. The man who was also showering himself with a gaze full of admiration.

“Goodnight, sir,” greet Paloma, when it stands before a man who is none other than Sebastian.

“Goodnight, Paloma,” reply man with slightly shaggy hair. Tonight, his appearance looks neat in a black shirt wrapped in a gray blazer, with two top buttons left exposed. There was a platinum necklace without a pendant adorning the man's neck. “You don't want to invite your new bodyguard in?” A question that sounded more like a satire, was thrown by Sebastian to Paloma.

“Didn't you just download me?” Paloma responded to Sebastian's words calmly.

“Of course. Thank goodness if you don't forget about it,” Sebastian said as he pointed his hand forward. He took Paloma in, leaving the front of Casa del Castaneda.

Meanwhile, Rafael who was still standing in his place earlier, immediately regained his senses. He shakes not understanding. The man rushes into the car, then runs it out of the Casa del Castaneda area. Rafael, leaving with an uncertain feeling that he has not been able to understand.

After all, the waiters had left the dining room. They left the master alone with their special guests. “Are you going long in Porcuna?” sebastian asked, opening a conversation between them.

“No. We will go home the day after, after Rafael finished a little of his business here,” Paloma replied trying to look as calm as possible. He was fighting the clumsy taste that whack great, because Sebastian who continues to shower him with a fixed gaze full of meaning.

“How is it related to Mrs Vidal?” ask Sebastian again.

“Entahlah. That's none of my business. We are just waiting for the court process and the decision on the part of the church. During that time, my father asked Rafael to settle in Mexico. That's why he accompanied me here. After all, Rafael is an experienced man. He helped me a lot,” Paloma explained as he sipped his drink, in order to overcome the nervousness in himself.

“So, you guys are ready to divorce?” ask Sebastian again.

Paloma did not answer immediately. He ventured against the honey-brown iris gaze, which looked shady and intoxicating. Paloma doesn't want to look weak. As always, he will always show who he is before the ruler of the Casa del Castaneda. “Did you invite me here just to interrogate about my personal matters?” paloma protests.

Sebastian laughed softly at the beautiful woman before him. He shifted his gaze for a moment from the beautiful face of Paloma, although in the end it still returned to the owner of the hazel eyes. “Of course not. There's something I want to talk to you about,” Sebastian replied as he began his dinner.

“About what?” paloma asked, even though he could already guess what the handsome widower was going to discuss with him.

“I hope you don't forget that your necklace is still in my hands,” Sebastian replied calmly.

Paloma. It is true what is on his mind. Paloma recalled his words before leaving Casa del Castaneda. He promised to pay off the remaining debt when he returned to Spain. However, for now the situation is not possible. “What do you want, Mr?” paloma asked cautiously.

Sebastian chewed the food in his mouth slowly and regularly. The body language of the thirty-seven-year-old man looked very beautiful. Dashing and masculine, but not look excessive and contrived. “I hope, you don't forget the remaining outstanding debt.”

“This is not a good time. I came here on business. Anyway, I'm with Rafael. I don't want it until he ...”

“Jealous?” sela Sebastian's. Makes Paloma laugh. “Why? What's so funny?” Sebastian knitted his brows.

“Jealous?” Paloma continued to laugh while shaking his head. “We'll be getting divorced soon. Why should she feel jealous?”

“You don't realize how to stare at you?”

Sebastian's question, immediately made Paloma speechless. He stared fixedly at the man with the beard that had started to thicken. “You are very funny.” Paloma nodded slowly.

“What's funny?” ask Sebastian who actually put on a serious look.

Paloma touched the tip of his bangs, before answering the question of the man who had not distracted himself since. He returned to drink his drink. “Rafael also said the same about you,” Paloma replied to Sebastian's gaze. He placed the cutlery on the plate, while his right hand was on the table.

“Rafael says what about me?” ask Sebastian. The man's left hand moved slowly, approaching Paloma's stained fingers. However, Sebastian immediately returned to back his hand. Even though he had kissed Paloma, somehow the courage did not appear at this time.

“Not important,” said Paloma did not want to discuss further personal matters.

Sebastian breathed out slowly. He returned to eat the rest of his food. Until the plate was empty, there was no longer any meaningful conversation between them.

“Be done with all this, Sir,” Paloma said after they moved to the living room.

“Paloma wants to escape the promise he made,” Sebastian quipped.

“Not so. In my opinion, you are too far-fetched.” argued Paloma. “Should have been, the trouble I created has been done since a while ago. I don't understand why you're being so silly. Instead, return my necklace immediately,” pinta Paloma.

“What if I refuse?” challenge Sebastian calmly.

“You are not that ridiculous, Sir,” Paloma said. He got up from his seat and prepared to leave.
