- Old place same job.John as looking at the hospital St Mark across the street while he waited for the red light to turn green so he could cross over. There werent many people on thestreets it wasnt rush hour but it seemed strange that everything was so calm; itwasnt like in the old days thats for sure. He looked around trying to find placeswhere he could hang and have meals before work, there was a good looking coffeeabout 100 meters away from him at his right, good place to invite a woman for a

drink, but most likely the food wouldnt be that great as it usually happens withthat kind of places but exceptions exist, he would need to visit it first. Ther

e were a lot more of coffee and restaurants around there, well it was the main street so should be normal.The light turned green and john crossed, he grabbed his cellphone and sent a message to his new boss, who happened to be an old friend of his. Since he was expecting to wait a little for his boss he sat at the stairs outside were he usuallydid when he was there before and he smiled when he realized that hes signature t

hat he craved on those stair so many years ago still persisted. He gave anotherlook around, in the past 10 minutes the street got a lot busier, there was already the occasional buzz from car drivers and people walking around like there wasnt tomorrow, someone touched his shoulder and he looked back.

You still love that place.Old habits are hard to loose.So how have you being doing old friend, I heard that you were quite the star atthat last place.Were a nice 10 years.Is that all you have to say!? I heard a lot more than just a great 10 years. I even got a call badmouthing you, although she did apologize at the end.John smiled, there were a lot of woman that were into him, he actually let somebe more than friendship but never let it be much more than that.- Anne I bet?- And you would win, still the old heart breaker. Seems you havent changed much since last time.- Can say the same about you, you still wear those crappy ties.

-Crappy ties! They cost me a ton, they are made by some famous fashion designer,how dare you say they are crappy.

-Yea, yea I hear you, so are you going to show me around or are you just here totalk about the old times?

- Both, its a privilege I get from being your boss.- I would be proud if it werent for that tie.- Well at least this time you didnt say it was crappy, well anyway from now on you will be in charge of buying me new ties.- What!?- Punishment for making fun of them, next time think twice before itJohn stood over, and Tomas hugged him. With Tomas hand around his shoulder theyboth entered the hospital, a sigh to be gazed because no one even though that th

e guy that the president was happily chatting with would be the new manager.Tomas gave a touring around the hospital, but besides that he didnt tell him much, he was more interested in what he were doing in the last years, so john endeddoing most of the talking when it should be the other way around, there would b

e enough time when he actually started working there. After the tour he got grabbed to a dinner in a way he couldnt refuse.-You will be paying for two then.-What you have already got someone hooked!?-Something like that, so at which time you want me to appear?-I leave at 8 oclock; can you come here around that time?-Yea sure, I will. See you later then.John left, he was still unpacking his stuff at his new home and Sara should be happy to get to go to a fancy Restaurant after having to do most of the work alon

e she deserved a threat anyway.His new home wasnt far away a 20 minute ride in the subway, when he arrived Helenhad almost everything in place the new furniture hadnt arrived so the bags with

cloths were still pilling up at the entrance.-So how was it?-As I remembered, mostly.-Is that bad or good?-Both I guess.-Meh, where are we going to eat?-Here I guess, what will you make for dinner? she gazed her, she was now 16 ever

y year that passed she looked more like her mom tall, brown dark hair and browneyes, she was elegant but not the skinny elegant, there should be a lot of boyssighting at her he though.-You must be joking, you left me here unpacking everything alone and you want meto make dinner, are you serious? She yelled at him.

-No need to yell, calm down Tomas invited me to dinner and you are going to if you want.-Tomas is your new boss right?-Boss and an old friend.-And where are we going?-Well thats a mystery, somewhere fancy I presume.-What the hell should I dress if I dont know where Im going? She was yelling once

again.-Alright, alright I will call him. - John said between a smile.Tomas didnt have any place in mind but since John called he asked him what kind of restaurant he would prefer, since Helen loved any chance she got to use a night dress john asked him to choose one in accordance to that. Of course Helen gotecstatic about it and between dressing, makeup, manicure, etc; she didnt stop a second before they had to go.Since John still hadnt time to get a new car, they needed to get a cab to get tothe hospital. They got there half an hour late and Tomas was waiting for them atthe entrance. John loved the face he made when he looked at Helen, he really di

dnt expect him to bring a teenage girl. After the surprise Tomas approached them.-Hi there Tomas, this is Helen and well shes like my daughter.-You are an ass you know? I bet you told him you would be bringing a girlfriend.

-Nothing like that miss, I was the one who thought it.-Could you please drop the miss, mister?-Only if you drop the mister. Well we will need to get to my house to get my wife if you dont mind.-No problem Tomas. As long as we get to see your house. said john.-It will be my pleasure since I would like to change my clothes. The car is thisway. Tomas pointed to his left, and started walking.

-So hows the lady? asked john.-Quite happy to see you again, or so she said.-Oh, its still the same as last time?- John! said Helen while she hit john in his ribs.-Ouch, you didnt need to hit me, why are you so violent?-Jerk. I apologize Tomas, but he drives me nuts.Tomas laughed, it had been a long time since he saw a scene like that, john hadthat effect on people, and they would act normal even in front of total strangers.-No need to apologize, I have missed that attitude of his.-I wish I could the same.-Hey, hey Im here remember?-And I make your breakfast remember?-Whos the jerk now?Tomas laughed once again, he wished he had this kind of relationship with his daughter but that wasnt possible.-Heres my car, hop in.-There you go miss.

-Quite the gentleman today. You still have to make dinner tomorrow. John openedthe back door so Helen could enter.-Damn, you dont let nothing pass.

-Obviously.It didnt take much time to get to Tomas house, It wasnt far away and they avoidedrush hour, so after 5 minutes john was already appreciating a glass of whisky atTomas house. Shortly after Tomas left the room Margaret, Tomas wife, joined the

m at the living room.-John! It has been ages since I last saw you. Said Margaret while she approachedto hug john.

-I missed you too.-And whos this beauty? asked Margaret while she spread her arms to embrace Helen-This is Helen my adoptive daughter.-You adopted a child!? I would never guess that. I can only imagine how is to have him as a father. While she sat with Helen in the sofa.-Its not so bad, he has hes days.-You dont need to be so polite in front of me, tell me all is faults. Said Margaret while smiling.-You do know Im here right?-Shush dear, this is girl talk.-Ok Can I see the rest of the house?-Sure, just try to not steal anything that I like.

-That means I can steal stuff?-Its unbelievable how sometimes you are so slow dear, now go let us alone.-Yes, Madam. He bowed and left the room.-He can be such a gentleman sometimes. Said Margaret.-Yea, he has hes days.John was exploring a two store house, on the first floor there was a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a store room, an office and a stairway to the second floor.-So have you decided on a suitable root to invade the house? Tomas asked while entered the office where John was enjoying is glass of whisky while he looked outside the window.-Damn, you are so alike.-I think you mean my wife.

-Yea, anyway, the best way to ask for a sleepover and take the goods, always works for me. Said john who got a smile from Tomas.- Well should we go? asked Tomas.The girls were still happily chatting in the living room, Helen seemed to beingenjoying Margaret company, she always made friends easily anyway. While they were driving to the restaurant the conversation changed to Tomas and Margaret dailyadventures and misunderstandings, as most couples they had a lot of funny stori

es that happened because of stupid things and since they have three kids they seemed endless.They finally arrived at the restaurant but the topic was still the same. Helenwas quite interested on their endeavors, after all she only had a family of twosince he never met anyone else from johns family and whenever she asked somethingabout visiting them john always said that it would be hard since they were fromPortugal, and indeed it was troublesome to go there but since john never deniedto answer questions about his family Helen never thought much about it. Helen w

as also interested in meeting their suns two were about her age and she would beattending the same school as them, and since she liked her parents she was inte

rested in meeting their suns. They had 2 girls one was 17 and the other 23, while the boy was the youngest with 14 years old, Marie, the oldest one, was studying abroad and she only came home during vacations so she would only be able to meet her in the Christmas vacation, Marta had gone in a camping trip and should come home in the weekend, Marcos was sleeping over at a friends house. Marcos wasntwith them because Tomas thought john was bringing someone older, so Margaret ar

ranged someplace from him to stay the night anyway the boy was happy with it andit seemed it was usual for him and his friends to have sleepovers whenever thei

r parents let them.The night went on, and it was quite enjoyable, the Italian restaurant had a niceatmosphere and since Tomas seemed to be a regular the service was quite outstan
