The Casa Del Castaneda

Overnight Promise

“Pick up tomorrow at ten,” Sebastian said as he distanced himself from Paloma. The handsome man with a beard that started to thick irregularly smiled knotfully, when he saw that Paloma had closed his eyes. The woman probably thought that Sebastian was about to kiss her again. “Are you expecting something?” ask the handsome widower in a half-little tone.

Paloma who re-opened his eyes, immediately looked away. An immeasurable shame, approached him and laughed with satisfaction. Paloma did not know what to say, other than to avoid. “I'm very tired. Instead, you immediately return to Casa del Castaneda,” said the woman with shoulder to shoulder looking for an excuse.

“Good. Don't forget tomorrow,” Sebastian's message again accompanied by a very charming smile. “Goodnight, Paloma.” After saying so, Sebastian walked back a few steps. After some distance, he turned around. The man went back into the elevator which brought him down.

Paloma breathed a sigh of relief while holding the chest. He seemed to have just broken free from the narrow, stuffy cave, which left him with a lack of oxygen. Paloma calmed down by taking a breath many times, before turning the doorknob. But it turns out that the door is locked. “What did Rafael sleep?” thought.

The short-haired young woman with the bangs that further beautify her look, reached into the bag. He's about to get a cell phone. However, Paloma's intentions immediately stopped. He was stunned, when he heard Rafael's voice from behind. Paloma then looked. “I thought you were asleep,” said the owner of the hazel eyes.

“I'm waiting for you,” Reply Rafael accompanied by a small smile. He walked over, then opened the lock. Rafael invites Paloma to enter first.

“Where are you waiting for me? Why don't I see you in the lobby.” Paloma put her bag on the table. He sat at the end of the bed, then removed the high heels that made his legs feel sore and hot.

“I'm waiting for you near the gate of Casa del Castaneda. However, you go home with Sebastian,” replied Rafael while taking off his jacket. He just threw it on the couch. Rafael then sat down while raising his head, which he placed on the back of the sofa. The man closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, Paloma was silent to the answer of Rogelio's adopted son. She looked at the handsome man who was still her husband. Taste bad in the heart. Paloma did not expect that Rafael was waiting for him there. “I didn't tell you to wait,” said Paloma to brush off the uncomfortable feeling present.

“I want to wait. Don'worry. After all, I was able to walk around for a while,” said Rafael without opening his eyes.

Whether what the man said was true or not, Paloma could not be certain. He went to the bathroom to clean himself up before changing clothes. Rafael has not changed position. “Have you had dinner?” ask Paloma. His concern for the man has never changed. I don't know where all the anger and hate went, which made Paloma insist on wanting a divorce.

“I filled the stomach earlier. Don't worry,” replied Rafael. He opened his eyes, then changed his sitting position to be more upright. “You'd better change your clothes soon. Don't sleep in that dress.”

“What's the reason?” paloma asked, not understanding.

“Your back is clearly visible,” replied Rafael clumsy. He grabbed a cell phone. Rafael shifted his discomfort to the sophisticated communication tool. The handsome brunette man did not speak anymore. Perhaps, he was regretting what he said just now.

Paloma did not intend to respond. He went into the bathroom. For a while, the young woman spent time there. About half an hour later, Paloma had just come out wearing a nightgown.

“You're going to sleep now?” asked Rafael who saw Paloma had gone up to the bed.

“Yes. I am very tired,” Paloma replied as he covered his body to the neck.

“Tomorrow I'll go to Sevilla for a while to meet Tatiana. There are things that must be done with him,” said Rafael while laying his tall body on the sofa earlier.

“Originally you do not forget, that the day after tomorrow we have to return to Mexico,” message Paloma.

“Take it easy. I remember that. Anyway, I won't stay there,” Reply Rafael. The gray-eyed man was silent for a while, while looking at the ceiling of the hotel room with a ceiling model that looks modern.

“Good night, Paloma,” said Rafael after being satisfied to reflect. However, his good night was unrequited, because Paloma had already fallen asleep since a while ago. Raphael decided to go to bed.

"Yes" replied Paloma who was busy watching television.

"Aren't you going anywhere today?" rafael asked while wearing a watch on his left wrist.

"Eitherway. I don't think so" Paloma replied hesitantly. She actually remembers very well that Sebastian was going to pick her up at the hotel where she was staying, to ask for a 'date'. Paloma himself did not understand what the word 'date' meant.

"alright. You can take good care of yourself while I'm gone. If you need something, you also know what to do," Rafael said again responding.

"Yes. Don'worry. I've lived almost six years without anyone looking after me" Paloma said without taking her eyes off the television screen. "I can take good care of myself" said the woman again.

"Good," replied Rafael who felt insinuated by Paloma's speech earlier. He put on his jacket, then grabbed his phone and car keys. He turned his head for a moment to Paloma, who was still engrossed in watching the show on television. "I go first" he said.

Without waiting for an answer from Paloma, Rafael passed out of the room. He stepped quietly towards the elevator, then down to the first floor. The man crossed the hotel lobby in a dashing and orderly manner, like a model on a catwalk.

After Rafael's death, Paloma was alone in the room. He spent almost an hour just watching television. Over time, Paloma got bored. He got out of bed, then walked to the balcony of the room. He stood there for a while, enjoying the warm morning sunshine.

Paloma had been pensive there, until the sound of the ringing of the cellphone resuscitated the beautiful woman who was still wearing the nightgown. Paloma came back in to answer the call. Rogelio's name appears on the screen. Without lingering, immediately shifted the green phone icon.

"Bueno," said Paloma.

"How are you, son. How's your business there?" rogelio asked in a soft-sounding tone.

"Everything related to the cooperation contract has been completed, father. We'll be back tomorrow to Mexico. Today, Rafael is going to Sevilla. He has to finish a little bit of his business" Paloma explained.

"Why else would he meet that woman?" Rogelio complained quietly. Hearing Seville's words, his mind immediately turned to Tatiana Vidal.

"Leave it, dad. After all, as the man in charge, he should have done everything with Tatiana. As a woman, I will not blame Rafael's actions" Paloma said. He paused for a moment because there was a knock on the door. "Wait a minute, dad. Looks like, room service came here. I'll call you back."

Paloma hung up on her phone. He put the cell phone on the table. With her hair still slightly disheveled, the woman walked towards the door.

Instantly, Paloma was fixated upon seeing the figure standing outside the room. Sebastian already looks dashing with his casual look. The man was wearing a black long-sleeved T-Shirt, paired with dark blue jeans.

Sebastian frowned, as he looked at the appearance of Paloma who was still wearing a nightgown. He stared at the astonished beautiful hazel-eyed lady. "You're not getting ready yet?" tanyakanya.

"Where?" Paloma was pretending to forget.

"Didn't we make an appointment last night?"
