BREAKFAST
I loved her in front of buttered toast and blueberry jam.
Company "INFORMESSA SA" located on the 16th floor of the skyscraper of the Paseo de la Castellana, was located in the north, a cafeteria where workers belonging to the company, we met for a half hour breakfast and free time of noon we used in the food.
knew her view. More than once we had crossed through the halls in different directions, each with their corresponding occupations. The rush usually during working hours, each one of us were forced to maintain a pace impossible to decrease, no conversations allowed to delay our respective occupations, but, always, when I saw her, his face lit with a special light that obscured the other fellow, had never had occasion to change a word with her. I only served to add more detail to his dazzling figure.
The first time I was surprised at his curly hair and gold with red reflections, did not know if because of the impact of sunlight or because they were of that color. The second time, I make sure that this reflection was also natural, his eyes stood out in a light green like two gems lit in his eyes. Thus, little by little, I was detailing figure and when he saw her come through the halls, he tried to approach her as he could to add a new detail to your beautiful picture. Then one day, morning light, entering the cafeteria, I saw her sitting at a breakfast table with the tray before her. Quickly picked mine and so I went boldly to the table.
- I can sit and keep you company? - I said as firmly as possible, while supporting my breakfast tray on the table.
I watched two beautiful green pearls, which I read with astonishment, his face, the chrome of a water sylph of a forest, showed a dark garnet point jam along with a mouth like a rosebud, and anxious as I watched, I heard:
"Yes ... of course ... - and after a short pause - ... if you want ...
evidence of words left no doubt that she never had noticed me. I sat in front of her as I had:
-Luis Aguirre, Technical Department. Before answering
offering his hand in greeting, he wiped his fingers on a napkin, a detail that I fell in love even more.
started eating our respective toast while she, unaware of the spot of jelly on her cheek, showed a serious look that contrasted with that funny detail. Regardless of the act, grabbed a paper napkin and held it to his face to clear the trail of breakfast but she, realizing my closeness, slightly startled, pulled back by banning my intention.
"You have a little jam ... - and immediately cleaned up by hand but in the wrong part of face.
"It's on the other side.
repeated the gesture but this time he missed at the site but something higher. I did not say anything but, slowly, I moved the napkin and wiped the tiny portion of jam, leaving your face clean. The heat I felt in my fingers was so exciting that I was forced to control my disorder. What was happening? The proximity of the woman and continued to confuse me with my breakfast in silence to rule my senses.
As I guessed right, this was the time for your breakfast the next day, I went to the cafeteria at the same time and, indeed, there was, at the same table and with the same breakfast. It was a creature of habit, I thought, and that, I also liked. This time there as I introduce myself, I greeted her with a smile and sat down in front of her, admiring her beautiful green eyes. Gradually we
taking trust each other until, one day I dared:
- What do this Saturday afternoon? Have you got busy?
I looked at his two precious gems, smiled, pursed her lips I saw perhaps not to allow fast response and said
"No ... well yes, I have things to do ... - hesitated a few seconds - but I can do it morning and the afternoon will have free.
He said it ran and gave me the feeling that the sentence lacked punctuation, as if he had forgotten the periods and commas in a letter.
After that day no longer separate us ever. A few months later we married. We had four children, two boys and two girls. We were very happy even with all the difficulties and problems that life brings. Then, over the years, we went to stay alone and liked to recall that first breakfast when we met.
Now he was staring at me with a slice of butter and blueberry jam on the plate. The cafeteria was full but we could always sit at the same table, which was near the window which overlooks the garden of the Residence for Alzheimer's disease. I wiped with a paper towel, pot of jam that had been near the mouth, smiled and looked at me with those two gems which were now dull eyes. Spend the day with her beside him in silence. She did not remember anything, I when looked at now as absent, remembered that first breakfast, when we met ... - Magda.
