Actually, Carlos had a bit of a selfish streak.
“My little one is moving forward step by step, and you guys are sitting in the car watching?”
“Not at all!”
Although the mountain road was quite rough, the autumn scenery was beautiful. The women were full of energy again, picking leaves, fruits, weaving garlands, what fun! Even Romina gradually integrated into her group of companions.
Coco, who came from the countryside, knew the mountain fruits better, so everyone got to taste a lot of pure and natural wild fruits.
Alba took all kinds of photos, not forgetting to post them on Facebook to share with fans.
The men looked out for their girlfriends on the badly traveled road.
-Micaela, make no mistake. I’m only shaking hands with Miss Freixa because she’s a partner who’s been left alone and needs to be taken care of.
Moises said aloud to Micaela who walked in front of him, leaving everyone speechless, while Carlos held her hand tightly.
Micaela knew that nothing Moises said or did had anything to do with her. This might be hopeless, but what was impossible should not give her a glimmer of hope.
Romina was so excited to see her hand held by Moises that not only did she not listen to his words, she didn’t even pay attention to her feet and almost fell down the hill, thanks to Moises’ tugging!
-Watch out! I’ll blame you if I’m eliminated.
Moises’ urgent and frightened voice made everyone stop and look.
Carlos turned to look and said:
-Beware! Over this hill is a small village with a very authentic local specialty.
At these words, the crowd, whose enthusiasm had just waned, became excited again.
The photographer was the most tired, running back and forth. Eric and the director were panting at the end of the line.
Looking at the couples holding hands in front of them, the director said enviously:
-It’s as if we were following them from behind just to see them show their love!
Eric looked astonished:
-Did you just notice?

It was not quite dark when the group arrived at the town indicated on the map, which had a relatively small foreign population, and there were few people on the streets at that hour.
The hotels were booked in advance, and he was surprised to see the crew arrive so quickly!
Naturally, the village hostel could not compare with the big hotels in the city. In the humble room there was only a bed, a small table, two stools and nothing else.
It was fortunate that there was a small bathroom in the room.
Carlos told her to take a shower, and Micaela had precisely that intention. After showering, she came out and saw Carlos sitting at the table studying the map, marking various things on it.
Smelling the fragrance of Micaela’s body, Carlos turned around and pulled the little girl into his arms:
-Little girl, you’ve worked so hard.
Micaela wrapped her arms around him:
-You’ve worked even harder.
-I’m a man, this tiredness is nothing.
-Only women get tired?
Carlos put his arms around her and kissed her red lips:
-Women should stay home and enjoy themselves.
Micaela’s little face blushed. Although this man was actually a bit macho, he indulged her unconditionally. No matter what she wanted to do, even though he was not very willing, he still supported her, just to make her happy….
Moved, she took the initiative to approach to kiss him when suddenly a knock sounded at the door.
-Micaela, it’s time to eat, hurry up!
Micaela hurried to push him away, but Carlos did not allow her to do so, instead he grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her.
Ernesto left the room and also took a shower. As he rinsed off the sweat, he felt relieved.
When he saw Alba, he pulled her to his side and asked her:
-What are you doing here?
-I asked Micaela to come down for dinner!
Ernesto grabbed her and headed for the stairs:
-Don’t bother them, they’re making love!
Alba glared at him:
-You think Mr. Aguayo is like you!
When Alba thought about how she had just been kissed by that man against the door, as soon as she entered, she couldn’t help but look at him again with contempt.
Ernesto held her a little tighter, leaned closer to her ear and whispered:
-Every time you look at me viciously, I especially want to kiss you.
Alba elbowed him in the stomach!
-Oh, it hurts!
Ernesto covered his stomach and bent down…..
Alba quickened her steps and went down the stairs, the corners of her mouth turned up.
The special dishes Carlos said tasted really fresh and delicious, and the women ate a lot of them.
After dinner, Carlos spread out the map and discussed the detailed route he had planned with everyone. The women felt bored and went back to their rooms first.
Alba invited Micaela for a walk, and Micaela gladly accepted. Carlos looked over and gave instructions:
-Don’t go far.
Alba got up and went with Micaela:
-Mr. Aguayo, lose care. I promise we won’t leave that big poplar at the door.
Only then Carlos nodded and continued analyzing the route with everyone.
Micaela and Alba are under a large poplar tree at the entrance to the lodge. At the entrance there is a path, lit by dim lanterns.
The night was cooler. The village was far from the city, the air felt clearer, and Alba said:
-There is a lot of peace here. It’s still early and there aren’t even many people on the road.
-Yes, the hustle and bustle of the city is not even felt here.
Micaela noticed a young mother walking down the road carrying a little girl about five years old. As she passed by them, the little girl flashed them a cute smile, which made them feel like their hearts were going to melt.
-Micaela, do you like boys or girls?
Alba saw that Micaela liked that girl so much that she kept looking at her even after walking away, so she couldn’t help but ask her.
Micaela suddenly remembered that she had already talked about this topic with Carlos, and her little face blushed slightly.
She saw her mother go into the grocery store next door to buy something, and the girl didn’t seem to want to go in because there was a kitten. Then she was squatting on the floor looking up at him.
-I like everything…
As long as it was her and Carlos’ son, she liked it. At the thought of a boy who looked like Carlos, she felt even more desirable.
Alba still wanted to flirt with her when her phone rang, and it was her brother’s call.
Gesturing to Micaela, she stepped aside.
Micaela looked back at the girl, who squatted in front of the kitten, she looked like she wanted to pet it and was afraid. How cute!
Suddenly, a van pulled up next to the little girl, which made Micaela feel a little uneasy. She looked toward the store, where the mother was paying without looking back. Unconsciously, she took a step forward and saw a tall man run out, pick the girl up off the floor and return to the car.
He was stealing the girl!
Micaela had rushed over and, without hesitation, she shoved her body into the car, and hugged the girl, exclaiming:
-What are you doing, her mother is there!
The girl’s mouth was covered, crying and wailing, her face full of panic.
Alba hung up the phone after a few words and, when she turned around, she discovered that Micaela was not by her side. He saw that she was getting into a gray van, and in the next second, what seemed to be a powerful force, pulled her in as well!
-Micaela!
Alba screamed and chased after her, watching as the car door slammed shut and the car sped away.
