Umberto, looking at Albina’s face, really wanted to have her right now, but when he thought it was too much, so he desisted.
As soon as Albina looked up, she met his red eyes and felt a beast staring at her, as if she was about to be devoured by him,
-Why are you looking at me like that?
-You said before that you agreed to pay me in installments, I have ruined many projects of the Carballal Group in the last few days, can you kiss me?
Albina blushed immediately. It was clear that the two of them had done everything, but in front of such a cold and handsome face of the man, who was begging her, Albina felt even more shy.
-Okay,” she hesitated and touched his face.
As her red lips came closer and closer, Umberto couldn’t help but breathe heavily. At last, a soft, delicate, shy kiss rested on his cheek.
Umberto, whose heart was pounding, froze.
That was it, a kiss on the cheek?
Albina sighed with relief after the kiss and looked up to meet Umberto’s eyes.
-Albina, that’s not what I wanted.
-I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Albina blinked and feigned innocence.
-Since you don’t understand, I’ll bother to teach you.
Before Albina could react, he leaned his body towards her.
Albina really froze.
These days, Umberto had acted so gentle in front of her that she had forgotten that he was a very dominant man. She could clearly feel his breathing increase. After kissing her for a while, seeing Albina’s body was tense, Umberto held her waist with one hand, enclosing her whole body firmly in his arms. His movements were gentle and Albina’s body, which had been tense at first, softened.
The room was silent. The only sound in the house was the breathing of the two of them, and after a long while Umberto released her and smiled,
-Don’t be so nervous, we have already been a couple for many years, what are you afraid of?
Albina, who could not control her body at all, heard this and just tried to speak.
Umberto’s eyes were deep at the sight of her beautiful appearance and smooth movements, they instantly became frantic, and the only sound left in the whole room was Albina’s helpless voice.
After the kiss, Albina lost all her strength and snuggled into Umberto’s body, breathing heavily.
Umberto held her whole body directly in his lap and let her wrap her arms around his neck.
There was a fresh lemony scent on her skin, the smell of the usual shower gel, which was obviously quite ordinary, but Albina found it addictive.
Umberto tried to calm down. But this time, Albina had a strange expression on her face.
-Don’t move, do you love me so much?
-It’s obvious that it’s you who is restless.
Umberto realized what was happening, and his mind went blank as he lowered his head and nibbled on her earlobe,
-It’s driving me crazy.
Immediately after saying that, he placed her on the bed and rushed out of the bedroom quickly.
Albina froze for a moment, then she heard the rustling of water coming from the bathroom.
Soon Umberto emerged from the shower, his whole body charged with a fresh scent.
He dined with Albina and took out his gift, slipping it into Albina’s hand,
-For you.
-What is this? It’s not a holiday, why are you giving me a gift? -Albina had a curious look on her face.
-Although a normal day, I wanted to give you a present too, -Umberto just smiled.
Albina opened the box curiously and was surprised to see what was inside.
They were a white and a black watch, and at first glance it was a model of a male and female couple.
The black was plain, the white was delicate and beautiful.
-It looks like an ordinary watch, but if you press this button, I’ll know where you are and I’ll come when you need me,” Umberto took the white watch and helped her put it on her wrist.
Albina raised her hand and looked at it. There was a diamond in the center of the dial, very beautiful, sparkling in the light.
-Is that it?
-You found it – Umberto’s eyes became very tender -It’s our ring, I removed the diamond and put it on the watch.
-Albina, when you accept me, I will give you a very big wedding, I will make the whole world know about our marriage,” he held Albina’s finger and looked at her puzzled expression.
-You haven’t passed the test yet, it’s too early to talk about marriage – Albina’s heart ached at the thought of their three years of marriage that no one knew about.
Umberto could do nothing. He had been the one who had done things in the previous years, so he had to accept reality.
-Okay, I’ll do whatever you want. If you say yes, I’ll tell the world and arrange the wedding. But Albina, now that we’ve kissed, can you be my bride first?
-No,” Albina simply refused.
-Then, can I go on kissing? -Umberto took her hand and rubbed it gently.
-No, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend,” Albina avoided his hand and stood up with a smile.
-Then accept to be my girlfriend,” Umberto followed her and continued to negotiate with her.
-Not on your life!
-So is it okay if we don’t kiss and hug?
-No.
-Then be my girlfriend.
-No.
The two of them were at a dead end, like two children.
Umberto watched as he returned to her without the sadness and grief over the ring issue, and sighed in relief.
He looked at the watches on her wrists and found them inexplicably harmonious.
