"How long? How long will it take the news of the master to reach the wrong ears? "I think Esteban, frowning forehead that afternoon. At his side of the body soft and docile Estrela throbbing pink. Devoid of the nudity of a vulgar, closer to a divine beauty than anything terrain. With her hand on his side of the young woman, Esteban stared at the ceiling and had no time to bask in the afternoon of passion. Destiny particular her. Just as the momentum of erotica, sailed his lust turned towards hints strange, unusual for him, the thought of an old man kidnapped him. He cast his mind far beyond the sex appeal of the immanent more overwhelming. It was like paying a duty, I brushed the thought. As if, now that his young heart was beginning to feel the need for new growth, fate would take him away. Esteban did not know well, he did not know him any more than a young man can know his deepest desires, ready to emerge, mature man who will take over, the old man that will pull the line.
She got naked and felt cold feet on the marble. He watched Antoni and saw him still fast asleep, mouth open and his hands folded on his stomach. She watched him calm for the first time in hours. It judged healthy rest in the afternoon shadows and then withdrew when Gaudi turned his eyes closed. The door ajar and went da Estrela. He took over and was like the first. A wonderful "first" on the stage of her feelings known.
She looked at him, overwhelmed by what I cover agile and an expert who also moved to a new rhythm, tempo of the pleasure away from slavish end in itself, closer to arch, bend a harmonic string instrument. Perceptions of women even in younger, act and unfold much earlier humans, the boy in the boy. Their eyes are crossed
transparent once as they had never focused before, and a second, the first questions, and a third, to the infinite answers.
It was a pleasure again. Not to describe, to be preserved in the hearts and minds
Esteban expected the night to move cautiously. He went out and walked shaven, brisk pace, with the bunch of keys in his pocket and little desire to waste time. He arrived at the desert site, then the gates opened and closed the office of Gaudi. He repeated the scene of the Study: rolled polished, stacked sheets, pulled scribbled notebooks. He arranged everything in a suitcase and left, not before he had glanced at that site. He had no fear of not seeing him again. I thought it beautiful, that monumentality that had always escaped unfinished, incomplete a charm, he realized that his hearing was changing towards new boundaries. Did not ask why. Already knew.
"Amancio What are you doing?" He asked his guest provocative, over a plate of fruit, while biting a grape white. "Home is great. Alfonso my hubby, who knows when they will return ... In any case, he warns, with at least two weeks in advance "
" You're invited to live with you? "Esteban whispered, smiling, thinking have hit the mark. Took as a slap.
"I'm asking not to be an idiot to" Raise the woman with unsurpassed irony. Her hair tied back, they talked more about her.
"There is my master ..."
"no balls ... Amancio Your master has nothing to do. What do you mean? "
" I do not know. I do not know where to go "
" I do not care about your problems Amancio said the woman-becoming-serious, but I want you to be clear with me. Your boss is already in my house and sleep there. I'm talking to you ... Who do you look? "
" To me? None "And he had deviated look
"What an asshole" He mumbled, Estrela.
"Do not try me. They seek him. I will also look for another few days "
" An opportunity to do nothing. Nothing ... "
" What? "Churches Esteban frowning.
"If you do not even try, do nothing. It 'clear. Do things that you always do. Nobody knows that we know, he can not be here, but here is safe.
Although still have not told me to "who" is safe. You
back to work, things that you do every day ...- laughed briefly with her white teeth - Yes, even the "Forat Vermell" ... You what you always do, bull. " And with her slender hands had shaken his thigh, while touching the intimate.
"Have with you, you can not ever do serious people?"
"Can not see nothing serious in all this, Amancio. You who run away with your grandfather does not know who to come and take cover from me ... "
" Well, I think you will not be disappointed Estrela
With the speed of a cat scratch, the woman trimming a slap sound that turned his head to Esteban. "Vulgar canalhice" he whispered through clenched teeth, during the operation. "Get out of my house! Let the old and go! "
"Where do I go? - Esteban had looked bad - and why should I let Don ... "He seemed to bite his tongue.
"... Don?" He returned Estrela mischievous
"But get out!" And he had withdrawn the scornful smile of the woman.
That night he slept on the floor in the room with the head of Antoni Gaudi at the chamber pot painted. Then, shortly after three in the morning, a slender figure and fragrant took his hand and led him in that warm bed by now familiar.
He did bring.
The next morning, Esteban got up early. She kissed the buttocks exposed to Estrela and left. He went home to change clothes groped in resuming a normal life fiction. He repeated that perhaps could be argued on rescue old architect, Antoni stating that they had brought to the study and found that he had assured them of his lucidity and beyond leaving it only after a few hours on that Sunday afternoon. He showed surprise, compared to continuing his absence and would have justified its shipyard and the twilight of his master, citing inane explanations of unspecified medical tests, with the intention to give the impression to the nth subtle hangover unjustifiable disposed to Home of the cocotte on duty. It was his role. For once he was happy to interpret it in the round. It was said that
it was strange. For the first time not only lying to himself, but to protect something or someone. Those lies, repeated the foremen of the yard, officials of the curia, the young architects, the unskilled workers, different sound. Less disgusting maybe, probably more difficult to sustain. He would want to shout to the world that the architect Antoni Gaudi, Barcelona IKL father, the creative soul of Catalonia was in serious danger, he wanted to whisper to the vigorous construction workers who idolized him, who was chasing the bad bad people , who wanted to bring in Lisbon, bucargli wanted him out of the brain and the senno.Estirpargli genius. Undermine his soul. Definitely. He
wanted, he could.
Then she thought of the clamor, the problems that this would lead to the same site and Antoni. Rescued by shiny implements of Egas Muniz, but doomed to become an icon. Protective of his people prisoner, engulfed by the blob, which confuses heat spasm, choking with affection, joy to read, but you shall oppression.
was said, appearing stunned by the disappearance of the projects and papers and study site, that the only way was to pretend, pretend and still pretend. As long as he could. As long as they have not discovered. The weather was the only thing he really needs Antoni.
time to settle the collapse of his intellect, days to take it back. Maybe. Or perhaps to be reborn to a new understanding. Who knows in what direction or form, under which the creative impulse of soul which changed, but remained herself.
In this thought, as he continued to pretend, as he flung open his nostrils the office emptied of creating the master, or opened his eyes wide in disbelief, when officials of the curia the press with their incessant questions, hour after hour. Or when they called the study of Antoni and had to go head down, as if to simulate shock and amazement. Carabineros I asked him suspicious. He calmly explained, argued, he said, falsely addressed. Shiny as a silver cross hanging on a black breast.
"I do not know anything about it .. .. I was in Cadaques liver problems, yesterday I went to the family doctor to my house .. Don Gaudi is an original person, will be back ... .. I'm sure will be back."
Coming out of the office of architect of God, did not have even the slightest doubt. Is addressed to his messy apartment, lighting a hub. She walked the floor at dusk and never turned the streets crowded with people.
Divago some acquaintance with the passage of the Rambla, contacted friends comfortably accommodated at the tables waiting for the night, he sent a speech to the futile and evanescent sera.Visse few hours of a life that was no longer hers. After dinner went home, washed his face and jumped on the bed. Pending.
Before leaving, he opened the box of "pleasure as an end in itself" and took the documents Gaudi infilandoseli in the inside pocket of the gray pinstripe, and then went out again.
Halfway he stopped again, with one click. He bent down and tied his shoe. He smiled scared for a moment. It took strength. Regained his composure.
that Tuesday night "El Forat Vermell" offered dances of men dressed as women. Esteban threw the heads of that smoky stir as pistons and almost immediately went out and saw the heavy door from which he had entered a few seconds before, reopened again. The shaking of the ground hid the view of the lewd faces.
grabbed the first glass to roll, snatching the hand of a lady if equivocal and drank it, taking care to be more of a drop falling on expensive clothes. Other times he repeated the trick, while waved mawkish and slippery friends, acquaintances and sexual experiences for one night.
After a couple of hours of dance rhythms, surreal conversation, a hashish not inspired, pushed away his friend staggered from the red brick wall and stopped for a moment pretend. His right eye
dodged his usual and see where he was rested. While the loud music of the small orchestra dictated the timing of its peer, the "dancers" attended to the noisy crowd and hybridity, unreal microcosm night, emerged a couple of smiling figures, a man and a woman, too canonically dressed in that little world, where normal clothing, faded almost always the single nell'astrusità detail.
He rose unsteadily, swaying with yet another drink in my hand and placed it on one of the men dressed as women, offered his view of his tongue stroking that male lobe, while his right hand and shoves something in her mouth words whispered smiling. Then he staggered off and ducking. Again.
few minutes later the little group of girls jumped from his hairy chest the two unexpected guests of the "Forat Vermell" between fuss, skirts raised and hands everywhere, Esteban pulled the door, flew on two flights of stairs and disappeared in the night in Barcelona.
Half an hour later arrived at the gate of Estrela fast that his breath was now a regular rhythm of double breaths.
"Ola ... Amancio - Estrela looked at him, despite the outrageous words, his tone was different - What is it? You have done a hurry because you miss me? Or you forgot those? "And with his hand had pulled from his pocket as a pair of flesh-colored condoms.
Esteban looked wrong-footed, even without his breath. His eyes launched a "You're a bitch" that fell on deaf ears. Estrela's both went silent, and then took his hand.
"Come with me, baby. I'll show you something, "
In the long corridor, she began to tell.
"This morning I entered the room of your grandfather. I found as I've known. With that look strange, lost. He was sitting on the bed. I made him drink a little 'milk and I gave a little' bread. He ate without speaking. Yet. "
Estrela stood before the closed door of the room and Antoni went on to tell, without opening it: "I took him to the bathroom and I left alone. In His room was stinking. I opened the windows and I did get away. Antoni will return before then, I placed the fragrant flowers in a vase ... "He paused. Esteban
watched, amazed at all the details.
"... Then I made him go back to the room and I left it there. I did everything myself, I sent away the two people that I work at home. A few hours later I came back to give him lunch .. "
" brava - Esteban did - as a perfect housewife "
" I uh ... balls Amancio. Laugh. Laugh at this "And she opened the door
Antoni Gaudi was sitting on the bed with her eyes lost. Around at his feet, peeled flowers, petals ragged and exploited. It was three different colors of roses, callas milky, mimosa yellow with which the composition varied Estrela wanted the graceful presence of the elderly in the cold room. Flowers torn, desfogliati, stepped on second use that escaped and Esteban, who had it rattling. The light of two lamps in the room lit up what once was a genius who had attacked and killed the flowers. Torn flowers?
"What Amancio? Did you fall the jaw? "Urged nasty Estrela who took his revenge and waited, enjoying a little 'a bit sadistic' softened, the performance of his young lover who took a walk into the room cautiously, putting a hand to scratch his head glitter.
Then, when the girl had had enough of that abstruse and ridiculous spectacle, burst out again: "And you have not yet seen the best ...."
He approached the bed, bent down and pulled out an object.
"Keep Amancio. This was once a chamber pot by night. Now tell me: what? ... But tell me what to think about it. Take your time in here ... and to think well what you tell me "Then he went out, leaving him dazed with what once was a chamber pot by night.
Esteban sat on the bed, with the slow pace of an old arthritic. A little further than his teacher, near a lamp. Then, with his right hand cupped and lifted the object that had given Estrela. The form had been that of a chamber pot, but only that.
What was once an industrial coating and aseptic, now had an open casket of inconceivable beauty. Mosaic indescribable color Vergata and rectangular plates of organic and floral shapes stylize bestial of all kinds, the miniaturization of curves and straight lines with various combinations. The dominant theme of the salamander body multicolored free expression of aggression and by itself able to make an impression in the sense of design. A borrowed form, repeats himself as an artist, the Park Guell in Barcelona rimastane undisputed symbol. Beside her jellyfish, stylized human nell'intorno unfolded, like a dance of colors and messages dall'incomprensibile dreamlike sense. If not the explosion of natural beauty. That splitting and recombining without human artifice, if not the essential chemistry of the artistic with the urine and saliva. Esteban
watched carefully bringing it closer to a light source, and wondered how he had done his master to carry out in practice that artistic prodigy.
He put the chamber pot on the floor and raised his arms Antonio also directed the palms of the hands, blacks as pitch, with fingerprints taking each a tone. Ten fingers, ten colors.
Then there came upon him prone and watched her lips, and pinched, opened them and saw the rest of the pulping of flowers between his teeth. Mixture that is drawn from nature, that you are working in the human body and transforms. And returning to the world in the form of color.
the vicinity of the first light squared petals, arranged in a mosaic began to break away from the heat. Esteban was silent, stunned, watching the inevitable degradation.
That was, it was said that the words came from somewhere, an art that is true ascent. That breaks down and becomes invalid only when you view. From eye unclean.
