Irene and Oscar
Chapter two
Who is Vigo Carro?
*****
"Yes, I am attracted to him, but remember Oscar, with my change in thinking, things are different now... I feared this would happen... You only like the fantasy, yet when I make it real, it becomes too much for you"
Stunned Oscar didn't know what else to say other than his wife was right... Having fantasies is one thing, but to have them become real? This is quite was another... It's easy to imagine and pretend when you still have all of the controls... However when your fantasies do come true, it's no longer like sitting in a movie theatre, you can't just walk out if you don't like what's playing.
In life, real life... You're in it to the end...

Gran Canaria, two weeks prior...
Irene's arrival...
"Hello and welcome, let me help you in with your bags... You must be Irene, yes?"
"Yes, that is my name but uh, who might you be?" Irene asked, stepping out of her taxi, greeted by this tall, dark skinned stranger...
"My name is Vigo... Vigo Carro and I apologize for being so familiar it's just that I was told you would be arriving today, so I have kept an eye out for you" the man replied introducing himself with a bright, white-toothed smile but having Irene at a disadvantage, reaching to take her bags she was left stood there not knowing what to think.
Quite taken all the same, what with his charm and good looks, she did smile. Having this tall, strong and very good looking black man offer to carry her bags, but catching the woman at odds once more, she was puzzled as to how he knew so much about her, while she knew nothing of him...
"Thank you very much, Mr. Vigo Carro, but can you tell me again? How do you know my name?" She asked as the two stopped inside the doorway of her villa, the one leased in her name by the football cub...
"Again I apologize, I have surprised you, I am sorry... I work as the trainer for Las Palmas FC and all of these villas, they are reserved for us, for the staff and the executives... They told me you were coming today, so I suppose you can consider me your welcome party" Vigo explained with his ever present smile as Irene stood beside this handsome looking, 6-foot 2-inch tall black man, who she assumed to be Moroccan with such, deep, dark skin tone, and she was correct...
"Mr. Vigo Carro" as she had called him... He moved to the Canaries from Morocco during his teens as promising up and comer in the Island football leagues... That is until a knee injury sidelined him for good, but now instead of playing, he works as a physical trainer for the football club...
Smart, polite and sounding to be well educated, she found the younger man to be quite charming and witty even. Vigo at 30 years of age, he wasn't just some washed up footballer she could tell. Appearing well dressed and looking like a career oriented, outgoing adult...Irene was impressed from the start.
Yet however true his attributes appeared, what Irene didn't know was that in his private time, this handsome well presented man... He was also an avid lover of woman belonging to a certain, older age group, and regardless if they were married or not... Once in pursuit of a woman he found attractive? Vigo did not tend to stop, and Irene it would seemed, she had fallen directly into his sights...
"Okay, I understand now" Irene replied, catching on as she offered her hand to shake but feeling playful and smiling, she even felt a little flirty...
"Hello Vigo, I am Irene Serrano and I guess I am your new boss, yes?... Is that why you are here and being so helpful? You want to be on my good side from the start, hmm?" She asked with a smile, letting her head tilt to one side as Vigo held her hand in a delicate manner smiling back...
"Yes, you have me there Ms. Serrano, my apologies... However if I can say, from where I am standing, such a beautiful woman as you, she has no bad side, only good"
Replying while pouring on the charm with a handsome, toothy grin, Irene felt a flush warmness cross her skin as he let go of her hand, raising his sunglasses, Vigo allowed her to see his dark eyes and feeling what, she wasn't sure. It was like he could see inside of her, there was something about him she liked.
"Well, you are very complimentary Vigo, and thank you for your help, but I think I can manage from here... It was nice to meet you and I'm sure I will see you at the stadium, yes?.. Oh and It's Mrs. Serrano... I am married but have kept my maiden name for work purposes"
"Ah, my apologies once again Mrs Serrano... I will remember, and if I may? There is a market near by, seeing how you have just arrived I'm sure you will be in need of a shopping trip. I have a car and can drive for you, if you so choose" Vigo said to her as he turned to leave, getting the message that maybe he had said too much a first.
Not wanting to push his luck, the suave 30 year old knew when to step back, yet not before offering his assistance once again, saying he would drive her to the local market if she needed...
"I have car rented for me but I haven't been to collect it just yet, however perhaps later I will need some things, thank you... Right now I want to settle and unpack, but uh, if I did need a lift to the shops, how might I contact you?" She asked, intrigued enough to wonder how he might be reached...
"Here is my card, my mobile number is there, however if you choose to come visit, and please, feel free to do so... I live down the next lane in unit number 36..." Vigo replied smiling with his white teeth looking bright in contrast to his skin colour and furthering his efforts, he made sure to let her know which of the units he was his...
