Chapter 4 :// Carina

 I watch out of the corner of my eye as Kilen puts his popcorn in his mouth, his blue eyes, his straight nose and custom— made lips, he has that same look as when I met him at the party. We've been going out for exactly one month and this is the first time I've taken him to my house, my mom always says to take whoever I want in the end I can do whatever I want. We keep watching "Resident Evil", I lie on Kilen's chest looking at his face.

— Are you afraid yet? —he asks, mockingly.

— Do you want something else? —I get a message from my mom.

— What can you offer me?—He says, insinuating—, I respond with a kiss on the lips and keep looking at the phone. He starts to leave delicate kisses on my neck as he continues to watch the movie.

—Em, Ki ... Kilen — I say nervously looking at the screen—, you have to go, my mom is about to come, I don't want her to see you.

— I want to meet you mother— him says, clinging to the couch and staring at the TV.

— No ... I don't want her to know you...

— Carina! If I want to meet her, it's my decision—she says with a smile, and then continues to watch TV.

— You won't like it— I say angrily.

— I'm here ...— says my mother entering I turn to see her quickly, her smile fades when she sees Kilen.

— Ahem...mom...— I get up together with Kilen.

—Good evening Madam. I am  Kilen's boyfriend—he holds out his hand to my mother to which she responds with the same gesture and a smile.

— Nice to meet you... I didn't know Carina had a boyfriend—she says, glaring at me.

— Ahem, yes mom ... I remember I told you the other day— I say lying.

— Calm lady...

— Camila Glent—Kilen nods.

— Don't worry, Mrs. Glent, your daughter is in good hands, I guarantee it—she says with a wink, my mother gives her a smile—. Sorry, I don't think I've introduced myself. I'm Kilen Billion— my mother nods happily.

—Well mom, Kilen has to go—I say leading him outside without allowing him to say goodbye.

—What did you just do? —he asks seriously.

— He will ask you many questions and I don't want to... besides, since when are we engaged?

— From today—he says with a smile.

—When did you tell me that I don't remember?

— I just decided. It's all right—leave the hair behind my ear

— You can't decide in me if I haven't decided that we are either, we've only known each other for a month, do you think that's enough?

— Listen Carina, you will do what I tell you. And if I say that we are engaged, it's because we are, don't you think?— I see him seriously, I don't know if he is playing or showing a face I didn't know, a feeling of fear comes over me. I begin to laugh thinking that it is funny even though it is not, Kilen when seeing me begins to laugh too.

—I think it's time for you to go.

—As you wish—gets into his sports car— , I'll pick you up tomorrow to go to the party—  he says and without letting me answer he accelerates, I observe how the car disappears as it goes.

Nervously I enter the house listening in my mind to my mother's claims, I begin to climb the stairs on my way to my room.

— Carina—my mother's voice stops, I turn around and start walking down the stairs.

— What? —He looks at me sideways.

— And that boy?

—Is my boyfriend.

— You know... when I look at him I realize that he has a look like... powerful in other words, is he rich, does he have money?—he says with distaste.

—Yes. He's ... a billionaire.

—Blessed be God! I won the lottery! —she says very happily—Honey, this is the ideal one...— I roll my eyes and go upstairs to my room.

I see Kilen lying in his sports car, under the window shade and I adjust my hair. I leave the house walking carefully so as not to fall, Kilen looks at me and smiles.

—Don't tell me that's how you're going to go...

— I don't see the problem—He opens the car door for me.

— Well, the others will be watching you.

— And many girls will want to buy you a drink.

— I have all controlled—said accelerating.

We arrived at Jordan's party, everything was celebrating that we had arrived without a doubt we were the sensation of the moment. All the girls were looking at Kilen flirting with him, but when they realized I was looking at them too, they looked away or walked away. Jordan wanted to take me away from Kilen to have a few drinks together and talk to me about "something important he had for me," so I agreed, after all, he was my friend from a long time (since we were in high school). everything he was going to tell me was important to me. We agreed to meet an hour later so waiting for the time I sat next to Kilen listening to him tell his superstitious jokes and how others laughed at him out of commitment or getting along with Kilen, after all he was the billionaire there, not me. Ten minutes and I was getting bored sitting next to him so I got up and went with Lara and Estefany, I sat down to listen to their conversation about who was the most handsome in my university and in the Host University but among all the men. The one who stood out for his beautiful faces and his financial situation was Kilen Billion who was now my boyfriend. I was somewhat surprised that my mother liked Kilen without having a formal conversation, I mean, I have brought so many boys to my house and she threw them all out except Kilen, but my mother is a beautiful but greedy one. After all we went out exactly the same, I used to console myself with my father who pleased me with all my reproaches but when my mother left she wanted luxury, money, a lot of money but she did not count that the one who was really going to have all those billions was me.

The hour passed and I went to the bar where I would talk to Jordán then a hand took me by the force and he leaned me abruptly on the wall making Kilen's neck stay on my face, strangely I raised my face towards Kilen's and I could distinguish those enraged blue eyes or maybe... he took me abruptly by the jaw and he forced me to see his face.

— Where do you think you're going? —his voice was different.

— Let go of me, it hurts...

— You can't leave me alone you have to be with me—he warns me possessive.

— I'm... sorry—I said fearfully, a lump in my throat appears, he smiles and leaves a delicate kiss on my lips. He leaves a hair behind my ear and takes me by the waist.

— Nothing happened, now you can't be with anyone else except me. Now... let's go out and shine.
