Chapter II
On my drive to Ben's office, I was listening to some old country music, already forgotten about the horrible night I've spent. When I was about to park the car, another driver was trying to park there as well. The driver sped up the car and hastly stole the parking from me! Not that it was mine, but it was obvious that I was about to park.
The driver got off the car and happened to be a girl, a really attractive girl. Yet she feels familiar and I can't remember where have I seen her. She gave me a grin and walked inside the building. I parked elsewhere and got inside as well.
I knocked on my brother's door before entering and then opened the door, he didn't look up.
"You must be busy bro, what's up?" I said while walking in and taking a seat opposite him.
"Yes yes very." Ben replied without much of focus as he was calculating something.
"Why am I here if you are busy? I could have met you later after you finish or something." I asked and waited for his answer but he didn't say a thing, he just gave a little smirk and continued his work.
Something's wrong.
"Am I here to get set up on a date?" I asked.
"Ding ding ding, we have a winner!"
Ben said happily and took the phone and dialled a number. "Helen, come in my office"
Before I even got to talk to him and show him how unbelievable he was, Helen walked in.
"Yes, sir."
I looked up and she was the girl that stole my parking, i started laughing right away.
"No way, Ben. Not in a million years." I said.
"What's wrong, sir?" Helen asked and seemed a little bit bewildered.
She took a glance and me then her eyes again found their way into mine. She seems so familiar it's just a little bit terrifying, i know this girl.
"Get me last meeting's pointers please, i want to go over them again and get them ready for the next meeting. Thanks Gomez" Ben said and I am sure he already knows the pointers.
Wait, Gomez? Helen Gomez? Brown hair?
Before she stepped out of the office I quickly asked.
"Helen Gomez as in Rafaela's little sister?"
She stopped her steps and turned to me.
"You know Raf? I knew you looked familiar!" She asked while looking deep in my eyes and trying to remember where she know me from. "OMG you're David, right?"
"Yes, I am" I said while getting up and giving her a hug. Her height made her face lay in my chest, just like her sister.
"Uhm, can someone tell me what's going on? You already know each other?" Ben wondered.
I turned to him. "Yes of course, her sister was my best friend in high school but we lost contact during college, Helen is younger than me so you probably don't recognise her, when I was in my sophomore year you were already off to college."
I didn't wait for Ben to comment or register what I just said. I turned to Helen and I asked her.
"How's Rafaela and where is she now? It's been so long."
"She works in the law firm down the street, she's very good, we meet often on the lunch break or after we finish our work."
"Where do you guys meet? I would love to go and surprise her there."
"The pizza place right around the corner. You know it?"
"Yeah yeah, thank you pumpkin"
"Omg, not that nickname again! I was a kid then." Helen said while laughing at the memories.
I chuckled and then we made a little bit of small talk, after that she went to continue her work and I just hung around with Ben. Having the company as your family's sure has its privileges.
