"Sickly jealousies"
Andy, after formalizing his rtionship with Camille, decides to resume his life in all aspects, his sick
passion for order and obsession is present again, he has been up since 4:30 in the morning, he
complies with his exercise routine and food, she takes advantage of the time with her little Zoé, she
no longer arrives at thepany at 8 am, due to the time she dedicates to her little girl, but her
punctuality continues to be one of her best qualities.
Camille continues working in the position that he had assigned her, they meet for lunch and after
work, he always takes her home, little by little he is taking control of Camille''s time, there is not a
single moment when she is alone, the only moments of intimacy are when Andy is sharing with Zoé.
“Hello, my love, are you free for us to go to lunch?” It is the third call that Andy has made in the first
4 hours of the day to Camille.
“Yes, I''m free now, but I agreed to call you my love, let me breathe a little” although Camille was
saying it in a sarcastic tone, she had a deep touch of truth, she really wanted to have some
freedom, she felt that he was pressing more than normal.
“I''ll wait for you in thepany mall, don''t take too long precious” Andy speaks to her with a loving
tone
Camille adjusts her wardrobe andbs her hair a little,tely he was referring to her way of
dressing, he had forbidden her to wear very shy clothes and necklines, so the rtionship was
bing somewhat possessive on his part.
“My love, you have no idea how much I miss you” Andy approaches and kisses her, everyone in the
company knew that he had started a rtionship with her, he preferred to mark that territory before
hispanions, so that no one had the intention of pretending to her.
“I missed you too my love” She kissed him back passionately, despite thest things Andy had
done, she didn''t stop loving him unconditionally.
“Today is Friday, I want you and Carin to stay this weekend at the mansion, to make some family
n, as soon as we leave thepany, we''re going to pick up your things and your sister and we''ll
go there. What do you think?” he proposes to her without counting on her time.
“Andy, well this weekend I have some things to do, I think we''ll see each other until Sunday, my
sister has a recital at her school and there''s an activity that willst all afternoon, so I''ll be with her, if
we go to the mansion totally distances itself from its activity” Camille responds with all the authority
that she still believes she has
Although this wasn''t the answer he expected, because they hadn''t made previous ns for the
weekend, he nodded angrily, and they continued having lunch in silence, afortable silence, but
he won''t give up.
“Camille and if I apany them to the recital? And from there we went to the mansion”
“Andy my love, but Zoé you know that very little can leave the house, I would not like to leave her
alone at any time.”
“Yes, but I want to be with you, and I don''t want to leave you alone, so for tomorrow I would make
an exception” he replies as he takes a bite to his mouth.
Camille felt a small air of maniption on Andy''s part, she adored Zoé and more in her situation,
but the fact that the baby was still connected to the probe that she had to carry in her kidney,
prevented them from being able to move much more from the mansion and the ns had turned
only to go to Andy''s house, she wanted to get out of that routine at least for her sister.
“Let''s do something my love, I don''t want you to leave the girl alone, because it''s important that she
share with you, as soon as we leave the recital, I''ll take a taxi and go to the mansion, is that okay
with you?”
Although the very idea of her being alone in the city made him nauseous, he had to ept, that
was a message that Camille was giving him, screaming privacy.
“It''s okay, my love! I''ll prepare something for you to eat for when you arrive” Andy approaches her
and gives her a wet kiss.
Lunch continued as usual, when leaving the ce, they decided to walk to get to thepany, they
were not far away, and it was a beautiful afternoon to share together.
He takes her by the hand, and although she is quite warm because the city is in winter, a man
passes by and stares at her, he was admiring the beauty that Camille had, through no fault of her
own. She felt ufortable by the look that this man offered her, and she sought refuge in her love,
but when she turned to see him, he was bursting with anger, his eyes were darker, and his
expression was totally frozen.
“Have you seen what happened Camille?” she tells him while she pressed her lips
“I don''t understand Andy what you mean, I thought you had realized what happened.”
“Yes, you''ve shared nces with a man, don''t you realize that you''re going with me by the hand?”
“I didn''t share looks with any man Andy! That guy just looked at me out of nowhere, I couldn''t even
help it, what''s happening to you?”
“I realized Camille, how you looked back at him, if you''re not capable of just being with me because
you must be seeing other men, well tell me, I''m not going to bear this.
Andy abruptly let go of her hand and left her there where she was standing in the middle of the
street, in the middle of nowhere, Camille didn''t understand what just happened at that moment, she
was only looking for refuge and defense in her man, not that to answer her the way she did,
however, she also continued on her way back to thepany, she was confused.
Upon arriving at thepany, Camille went up to her office without even going through Andy''s, she
was really upset by the insults that he had just done to her, and she did not really understand, if that
was mistreatment, her words were hurtful and they had emotionally affected her, she felt entitled not
to want to talk to him.
Meanwhile Andy, you were sitting in front of your desk looking at the monitor, the camera that was
monitoring Camille''s office, fortunately she had no idea that there was a hidden camera inside her
space, she had ever done a review, but He never found her, he watched as she entered his office
frustrated and sat in front of her desk without even taking off her overcoat, she saw some things on
theputer, but for a moment he observed that she paused, and took her head in sign of
annoyance, it was noticeable that she was totally irritated, but in his perception, he had been
absolutely right, he could not tolerate how his girlfriend shared nces with a man on the street.
Camille narrates.
I don''t understand Andy''s attitude, how can you be sure that I shared nces with a stranger? And
make me that show of apathetic jealousy, his words were offensive, I don''t want to talk to him for
now, I must hope that first he won''t be so irritable, or I''m sure I''ll fill him with bad words.
Today is Friday I feel like I need to free my head, but my social life is so nonexistent that I don''t
even have someone to go out for a drink with. I can''t stand being in this office anymore, I''ll get out of
here, even if I go out alone somewhere.
Camille took her bag and without consulting Andy as she had done thest few weeks after they
formalized their rtionship, she leaves determined to go without him, but this time she wasn''t
going home, she would go anywhere where she felt the privacy to clear your thoughts.
He does not stop watching her through the camera, realizing that she is going to leave work an hour
before finishing and that she had not told him where she was going, it had hit her like a bucket of
cold water, and if she was already Annoyed, now he was even more upset, he needed to know
where he was going, so he went after her, from his cell phone he opened an application where he
managed a kind of GPS and began to retrace his steps, she had not even realized that he had
installed a tiny chip in her phone, a few days ago he had given her a cover for her cell phone,
decorated with small diamonds, but he had done it with the intention of being able to chase her
wherever she went, he knew that the cell phone it was the only object she would not leave behind,
wherever she went.
She waits for him toe out and not notice that he is chasing her, he gives Ondo the
coordinates that he must follow so as not to lose sight of her and he realizes that this time he is not
going home, he had never felt the sensation he felt at that moment The only thing that was going
through his head was the insecurity that Camille was being unfaithful to him, he couldn''t think better
of her,tely despite the fact that she hadn''t given him the slightest reason, any situation around him
represented a threat.
Camille''s final destination was a jazz bar in the city, he manages to arrive almost at the same time
as the taxi that transports her, she gets off and goes directly to the ce, Andy does the same as in
thepany, he hopes that she getsfortable and goes behind, stands in a ce where it is not
visible to her, and begins to observe each of the movements she makes, meanwhile she sits alone
at a table and decides to order a ss of wine, takes her cell phone and types, Andy immediately
looks at his phone thinking that it would be a message for him, but there was nothing, the chat was
intact, he felt his cheeks flush with anger, he wanted to get up from where he was and take her arm
But he had to wait and see what she had nned.
Meanwhile, Camille tells the nurse who is taking care of her sister that she will arrive a couple of
hourster tonight, so she would pay her overtime to take care of Carin, seeing the positive
response, she smiles, rxes a bit and she looks forward to the next jazz show, which is about to
take ce in the ce, she was so enthralled listening to the melody, when she feels a voice
speaking in her ear.
“Camille Ibis?” A voice that seemed familiar surrounded her, she looks askance even with her
doubt, but she smiles when she sees who it was.
“Oh, my God! Jean, I haven''t seen you for so long, I could say it''s been years. How are you?” she
gets up from her chair and gives him a big hug- Jean was her best friend from childhood, she hadn''t
hadmunication with him for many years, when she left high school she went to college and
they didn''t keep in touch , like things of fate, he was there in that ce.
“You''re still the same as the day we said goodbye in high school, remember? That day I didn''t hear
from you again and well, we were so poor, we didn''t even have a cell phone like now”.
“Yes, I remember it as if it had been yesterday, but how happy to see you. What are you doing
here? But sit down, sit down” She points to the chair next to her, he sits a little close to her.
On the other side, Andy was wanting to murder his girlfriend and herpanion, his heart was
beating rapidly, and his jealousy was copsing, he had never been a man of problems, but he felt a
deep desire to go and hit the man who was now apanying his women. He takes a single sip of
the ss of wine that he had on his table, and takes courage, he was going to face the "unfaithful
girlfriend and her lover", because that''s what they had be at that moment, but as if fate would
like to y a trick on him, he receives an urgent call from Zoé''s nurse.
“Hello what''s going on?”
“Mr. Alf, you need toe home soon, the girl has had a fever for about twenty minutes and is quite
ufortable, besides that the probe has not been filtering for two hours, I dared to wait before
notifying based on my experience, but it is better that I take the girl to the hospital” Hearing that
Andy felt an icy chill in his body, he had a sea of mixed feelings, what he loved most in life neededCòntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
his immediate attention, and his love was being unfaithful behind his back, although Camille hadn''t
done anything until then, for him, she had done everything.
