Days passed slowly, consumed by the repairs of the security system and covering Camila's various activities. I was always looking for gaps to fit in my exercise routines and smoke my tobacco. The interaction between Camila and me was quite cordial, respectful, but she always made it clear who was in charge.
One night, after the day's activities, I headed to the pool and decided to swim. I put on my swimsuit and started. Lost in my thoughts and exercise, I didn't notice a small presence approaching the pool.
"You swim very well and have a great body for being so old, ha ha," it was Camila. "Can I join?" she asked. "Of course, go ahead," I replied. In an instant, Camila shed her bathrobe, dressed in a full swimsuit, revealing her well-formed body, with small, rounded shapes in perfect harmony with her height. In a moment, she made a dive worthy of the Olympics and began to swim. "You know, it's boring living in this house so full of people and yet so lonely..." Camila told me with a hint of sadness, suddenly changing to a smile she said, "let's see how good you are at swimming, a swimming competition?" I nodded my head and started swimming quickly. We did about 4 laps where her speed and tenacity surprised me, almost to the point of catching up with me.
"I almost beat you, phew," she said to me, "You have excellent technique and very good physical condition," I replied, "I've been swimming with various teachers since I was a child and it's something I regularly do to relax from day to day.....and what do you do to relax?" Camila asked, "Exercise and swimming help me a lot, although I miss tobacco..." I replied. "I didn't know you smoked, can you share a cigarette?" Camila said, "Sure, let's get out of the pool and go to the garden," I replied.
Once in the garden, we sat on a bench, I took out my pack of cigarettes, offered her one and then a little fire. Silence reigned for a few minutes while we enjoyed the tobacco. "Who did you work with before me?" Camila asked, "I've been a bodyguard for many years, a lot of important people," I answered, "mmm, but there must have been someone immediately before me, right?" she replied. "Yes, I was with someone important in the entertainment world..." I answered, "Who was it, tell me..." she asked, "Do you know Natasha, the pop star?" I answered. "Of course, I've heard her songs and her videos, she's very famous. Why don't you work with her anymore" she asked again, "we had a small altercation" I replied, "interesting, tell me about it" Camila said, "On her last tour she received several harassment notes, so they requested my services. Well, I took care of her the whole tour, and on the final date, a fan shot a firecracker with a gun that was aimed at her, I protected her and shot the attacker in the leg. She got very upset about what she considered excessive use of force," I replied. "Mmm, I don't think so, well, you saved her life, she should have considered that," Camila replied, "Well, yes, but as a reward they fired me". Another silence followed at that moment.
"I want another cigarette," says Camila, I offer her another and while she lights it she stands up, opens her bathrobe, showing her tight swimsuit and says to me "Is Natasha prettier than me?", "I assure you not, you are much more beautiful," I replied. She quickly closes her robe and with a smile gives me a tender kiss on the forehead. She sits down and we finish the cigarette in silence.
After that we said goodbye and each went to our room.
