Disagreements and Misunderstandings

Chapter 23

Christmas and the New Year passed by and Julián's life was much better. Happy even.

He and Percy had developed a strong friendship that had turned into something more, unspoken but ever present. For Julián, sleeping together was out of the question because he feared Orion's reaction and for Percy, the bedroom issue never crossed his mind.

Once again, the parade of rich and important people began. Julián fell into a sullen silence each time he saw any of VIPs and preferred to walk away with Lýkos while Percy stayed in the house to shake his tail to everyone who might had been useful for his future.

Had Orion no forbade him to curse anyone or anything, Julián would have been very happy to tell people his true thoughts about their manners. His petty revenge on Orion was to acquire the Ipad of his dreams -on his account- and use it every night in the bedroom to read for school.

A New Life

Chapter 22

Julián had no idea how much he could hate a moving until he suffered one. Orion had given him no hints about his plans when they were in Madrid; only a “we leave for London in three days”. In all his innocence, Julián thought that it was just a tourist visit.

How wrong he had been.

Again.

Everything had played against him in the same way like when Julián thought that Orion's idea of sending him to school was a bluff.

One morning he was woken up at an ungodly hour to be hurried to the airport, nearly pushed inside a private jet and flown to London, cursing all the way because of the stench caused by the fried sausages and beans the stewardess had served, totally convinced that Orion was a highborn British gentleman because of his accent.

Even Lýkos seemed to have growth a bowler hat on his head by the way he walked down the streets.

All his life Julián had felt a deep hatred to any kind of discipline or control over him and here he was; Julián Santos Koiranos, adopted son of Orion Koiranos.
