"Estos terminarán casados" pensó Pandora antes de encogerse de hombros e irse a la cocina.

-Lo siento, señor- se disculpó James, alejándose.

Regulus se sintió desprotegido, nuevamente.

-Sí, tranquilo.

-Vine a ver como estaba.

-Bien, ¡excepto por esta película!- se quejó, en un berrinche, tirando un almohadón.

-Claro,es muy triste. Bueno, eso era todo, recuperese. Cualquier cosa me llama- lo pensó- ah no, no me llame, todavía no me compré otro teléfono. Dígale a pandora que se comunique con Lily y ella podrá mandarme el mensaje, tenga un buen día.

Regulus se quedó procesando toda la información mientras su guardaespaldas se iba.

-Deberías reponerle el celular- opinó Pandora sentándose al lado de Regulus, ofreciéndole ..nachos.

-Sí, debería...

-¿Y? ya están saliendo ¿no?

-¡¿Que?! ¡no!

-Pero se nota que se aman.

-Es mi guardaespaldas, Pando. Y estoy seguro que tiene muchas chicas atrás.

-Y chicos- completó.

-¿Como sabes?

-Lily.

-Entonces menos chance, Pando. Eso nunca pasará.

-Nunca digas nunca.

"Lamento haber roto tu celular, disfruta este, intenta no asustarte, xoxo RAB"

James sonrió con la nota entre sus manos. Un paquete había llegado esa mañana. 

-Primero el celular y ahora un papel, ¿porque le sonríes al papel?- preguntó su madre, divertida.

-Nada en especial.

[...]

-Ay lo siento, mamá, déjame llevar a Regulus al hospital y luego te llevo de compras- se disculpó, cambiando la ruta.

-¿Quien es Regulus? ¿Tu novio?

-Mi jefe.

-¿Y no puede ir solo al hospital? ¿Por qué te ves realmente afectado por la llamada?

-Porque...se desmayó, no seas insensible.

-James, ¿lo dejaste embarazado?

-Mamá los hombres no se pueden embarazar.

-Los cis no, porque ustedes son aburridos. Pero los trans si.

-¿A qué te refieres?

-A que pudiste dejarlo embarazado ¿lo hiciste?

-Mamá, ni siquiera salgo con él.

-¿Seguro que no se acostaron?

-Creeme, recordaría haberme comido a ese bombón. 

Lo recordaría ¿no?

"These will end up married" Pandora thought before shrugging her shoulders and going to the kitchen.

"I'm sorry, sir," James apologized, walking away.

Regulus felt unprotected, again.

-Yes, calm down.

-I came to see how he was doing.

"Well, except for this movie!" He complained, throwing a pillow in a tantrum.

-Of course, it's very sad.  Well, that was it, get yourself together.  Anything calls me - she thought about it - oh no, don't call me, I haven't bought another phone yet.  Tell Pandora to contact Lily and she can send me the message, have a nice day.

Regulus was left processing all the information while his bodyguard left.

"You should replace his cell phone," Pandora said, sitting next to Regulus, offering him nachos.

-Yes, I should...

-AND?  They're already dating, right?

-That?!  No!

-But you can see that they love each other.

-He's my bodyguard, Pando.  And I'm sure he has a lot of girls behind him.

"And guys," she completed.

-As you know?

-Lily.

-Then less chance, Pando.  That will never happen.

-Never say Never.

"I'm sorry I broke your phone, enjoy this one, try not to freak out, xoxo RAB"

James smiled with the note in his hands.  A package had arrived that morning.

"First the cell phone and now a piece of paper, why are you smiling at the paper?" Her mother asked, amused.

-Nothing special.

[...]

"Oh, I'm sorry, mom, let me take Regulus to the hospital and then I'll take you shopping," she apologized, changing route.

-Who is Regulus?  Your boyfriend?

-My boss.

-And he can't go to the hospital alone?  Why are you really affected by the call?

-Because...she fainted, don't be insensitive.

-James, did you get him pregnant?

-Mom, men can't get pregnant.

-Not the cis ones, because you are boring.  But trans people do.

-What are you talking about?

-You could have gotten him pregnant, did you?

-Mom, I don't even go out with him.

-Are you sure they didn't sleep?

-Believe me, I would remember eating that hottie.

You would remember it, right?
