Bad luck in love - The Ink Well Prompt #92

Many years ago, a man named Paul with a certain bad luck in love, no matter how hard he tried to achieve certain things, he never succeeded..

One day, Paul felt attracted to a woman named Ana who he looked at as a friend, but she did not look at him in the same way, he decided to talk to her because a friend named Jose who is also a friend of hers, managed to convince him, when the day came that Paul would talk to Ana and he tells her what he was feeling for her, but that he did not tell her so they could have a relationship just to get rid of that weight off his shoulders, she with a slight smile tells him that she does not understand why he says those things, that she can not reciprocate as he would like. She immediately remembered José's face when one of the many times he insisted that she fall in love with Ana.

After 1 month, Paul tells Jose, since he told him again to fall in love with Ana, then Jose tells him that she had told him that she liked him but could not have anything with him, Paul observes him doubting Jose's word. So he decides to stay away from them, because he did not want to end up in love with her.

Paul begins to relate with another friend named Paul, they go out to drink with other friends, they could not wait for a weekend to arrive, because even for beach house they met to drink, they put together a big party, in that house came beautiful men and women but that if all single and only met in that beach house 1 or 2 times a month, Paul was surprised by everything that Paul and his friends did at the beach house, not knowing that this party was very exclusive and that not everyone could go, Paul went because Paul invited him and 2 friends who also went.

Paul and the two women that Paul invited to the beach house, could not wait for the next big party at the beach house, Paul explains to the 3 that the beach house is only for people who are willing to have fun in all possible ways, but without drugs, since everyone does not use drugs and if they discover someone using those substances they would be expelled.

Paul falls ill, with an infection in his lungs and that he will need to follow a treatment and must stop smoking cigarettes, Paul visits him without knowing that Paul was sick with this disease, when he goes to the house the lady directs him to Paul's room, when he enters the room he sees Paul in bed sick and asks him what he has, He answers that he has an infection in his lungs and he has some bone pains, that is why he is in bed, Paul tells her that he only went to talk to him for a while and to tell him that next weekend the big party will be held at the beach house, he stays for about 10 minutes and goes home.

What Paul did not know, because Paul did not want to tell him is that it would be the last big party, since all of them would leave the country and that Paul had a job offer in another country and soon would leave, after 1 month of treatment Paul recovered and the following week after he recovered, he sits at the computer to his social network and sees Paul connected and greets him, is when Paul tells Paul that he got several opportunities, offer, offer and more offer, so he decided to leave and the same happened with the others.

After that conversation with Paul, Paul begins to think about taking all the offers that appear and a week later a friend named John to tell him that there is a job offer in the store where he works, Paul accepts the job offer, while working in the store arrives Ana and they meet, they greeted each other, They start talking and she asks him why he stopped going to Jose's house and why he stopped talking to her, he tells her a little serious, you know I never had bad intentions with you and once when I was coming and I could hear you talking and I heard when you told Jose, the truth is that I don't like people who talk about me behind my back.

When Paul leaves work to get home to rest from the hard day, a month later Paul realizes that he is no longer lucky to get love, so he dedicates himself only to work and all the money he earns he spends on nonsense because he is not so interested in money but only does it to forget Ana.

Paul always had a girlfriend and had never been alone for so long, but since he met Ana he was enchanted and now Paul is dedicated to the purchase of different goods and then throws it to the market with offers, clearly when he bought it was much cheaper, so Paul began to become a businessman but with no one to share his success with.
