Chapter 36
Chapter 36
Although on Sunday it was difficult to wait for Luz and not see her arrive, Gerard knew that it was for his good and that of his baby.
For the same reason, yesterday, Monday, he went to visit her with Charlize, but now he went earlier so as not to meet Rafael and to have privacy.
He’s been standing in front of the door for ten minutes and he doesn’t know how to get in… well, he knows he has to knock on the door for Luz to open, but he doesn’t know what to say, especially since he came early and alone,
When he finally gets up the courage, the door opens and he finds Luz in a tall, messy jumpsuit, a tank top, and sweatpants.
– Gerard! -She says scared, more because of his appearance than because of having him there – What are you doing here at this hour?
I wanted to see you alone… Hello! I brought you sweet bread – he shows her the box and she smiles – .
-Thank you, if you wait for me a moment, I must go to throw out the garbage,
I do! she-removes the bag and hands him the box-
But what makes Luz laugh is that he keeps looking everywhere, she tells him where to go and he leaves quickly. The girl is stunned to see him in a suit and throwing the garbage for her, quite a sight for her eyes.
He arrives with her, lets him in, and he heads into the kitchen to wash his hands. Luz leaves the box on the bar and does the same, she dries herself without taking her eyes off the man. He looks really
handsome and she feels his body stir, but her mind has put up a barrier.
– I hope you like this filling, it’s blackberry jam, very delicious.
-Yes I love it. The problem is that I have to wait for him to like it too-she tells him pointing to her belly-
-Sure… -they both sit on the stools and take a sweet from the box —
Luz takes the first bite and moans with pleasure, several days ago she wanted to eat something similar and these cakes arrived at the best time. She eats slowly, so she doesn’t nauseate him, while Gerard watches her in fascination, because he’s never seen someone enjoy a simple sweet from her so much.
-Apparently he liked it too.
-That’s because she had been asking for a cupcake for several days – she tells him smiling, because the man has left a little jam on the corner of his lips –
What? – he asks her and she stands up –
– You have jam on the side of your mouth – the man sticks out his tongue but can’t clean it –
Luz grabs a piece of paper towel, walks around the bar to clean it, walks over to Gerard and wipes away the stain she couldn’t get out. He doesn’t take his eyes off her, showing interest in her eyes.
genuine in the girl, who decides to sit next to him to eat another sweet.
-When I find something that I can eat without returning it, I seize the moment.
Gerard is hypnotized watching how the girl eats the second sweet, until he finishes and sees that the same thing has happened to him, only that instead of telling her or cleaning her with the paper, he takes it away.
directly with his thumb and then brings it to his mouth.
For some reason, he clenches his legs, because he feels that something has turned upside down in that part of his body.
-Tell me, does Rafael take good care of you? -Yes, although he has to go out to work. He can’t stay home just for me. -But, I think that as your boyfriend and father of your child, I should pay more attention to you, right?
– Rafael is not my boyfriend – says the girl looking down –
-¿No lo es? – le pregunta Gerard para confirmar sus palabras y ella ríe mientras niega -. Entonces… – se pone de pie, se acerca a ella metiéndose entre sus piernas y la pega a su cuerpo -, entonces ya no tendré remordimientos de hacer esto.
Baja sus labios y los une con los de Luz, ese beso que llevan esperando ciertas personas desde que empezamos a contar esta historia. 6
Es suave, sin exigencias. Solo exploración, saboreo, para descubrir que lo que cada uno siente es demasiado fuerte para ser una simple atracción.
Luz pasa sus manos por la cintura de Gerard, subiendo sus manos por su espalda fuerte y dura, mientras el hombre se pega más a ella para sentir su frágil cuerpo vibrar ante ese simple contacto.
Something in the girl wakes up and wants more, wants to be closer, freer, naked, feeling skin to skin. Gerard’s warm hands run down her back, leaving a burning sensation that takes her to a different state.
The two already know that they need each other, they know it… But we all know that there is something that will not allow them to be as they would like, because there are pains and regrets that can be
stronger than love, especially when not they are drawn from the heart.
