Bianca was just looking for Micaela to talk to, loosening her tongue about how her mother had become supreme at home after becoming pregnant and then she envied her own mother, wondering why her belly hadn’t moved….
-Micaela, do you think there’s something wrong with my body?
Bianca asked nervously.
Micaela was a little surprised, but hurried to reassure her.
-Don’t be anxious, it’s destiny to have a baby too….
The person on the other end of the phone stopped suddenly, thinking about Olivia.
Although Bianca and Olivia had played less together and were not close friends, they both had a good feeling and would have been good friends if they had seen each other more often. Bianca was also very sad about what had happened to her and, as a woman, she could understand the pain of losing a child….
In the middle of the day, Bianca said.
-Micaela, Tomas is back in Salamentro, can we go see Olivia together sometime?
Micaela and Olivia had been in contact and she was scheduled to be discharged tomorrow, just as she had no work scheduled for tomorrow, and she said.
-Tomorrow then, I’m off tomorrow, I’m leaving for Fracimon Nation the day after tomorrow.
Micaela couldn’t find a reason to hang up, so she looked at Carlos next to her and suddenly thought it was strange that he was sitting so quietly, not glued to her, because, knowing him, he had lifted the front seat compartment.
She remembered many times when she was talking on the phone and this bad man came to kiss her on purpose….
Finally, the sound of Bianca’s mother calling her for dinner came over the phone and that’s when she hung up.
Looking curious, Carlos immediately took the girl in his arms.
Micaela blushed slightly, it seemed that she had overthought it, in the end she was educating him not to come closer and move his hands while she was talking on the phone….
The little face got even redder….
This damn feeling of being a little uncomfortable was so annoying….
Carlos wanted to tighten his arms, did not want the girl to see the end, so Micaela also did not find anything, she did not let him hug, but grabbed his hand, also carefully looked not where cut, her hands are very beautiful, ten slender fingers, well-defined bones, in the end is also not done this kind of work, the palm of the hand, fingertips have a series of cut marks, some broken skin, showing red marks ….
Micaela looks at Carlos, her eyes full of pain….
The corner of Carlos’ mouth sneered.
-Tontita, I’m not as fragile as you.
Micaela choked defiantly.
-I’m not that fragile either, you’re the one who thinks I’m too weak….
Carlos rubbed her head and clasped her in his arms with one hand, taking her right hand with the other and rubbing his fingertips against her palm, his voice low and melodic.
-Micaela is different, you are my heart, and that scratch on your hand is enough to break my heart for days.
Micaela blushed instantly and buried her face in his arms.
-Carlos, stop…
Carlos hugged her tighter, remembering something, and leaned in slightly as he hugged her, pulling a bottle of water out of the small fridge, his voice a little darker.
-Micaela, I’m thirsty.
Micaela looked up hurriedly and tried to turn around to get him water, there was a cooler in the car, a car she often traveled in, fruit drinks and all….
When she saw the bottle of water in his hand, Micaela froze slightly, hadn’t she been drinking water?
Before she could say anything, Carlos turned the cap of the bottle and handed it to her.
-Feed me, the way you just thought of?
Micaela’s heart lost its rhythm, heh heh heh heh…..
-No, I couldn’t think of any way!
The girl refused energetically.
Carlos put the water in her hand and took her to sit on his lap, his deep eyes fixed on her, urging her.
-Come on.
Shy and annoyed, Micaela pouted and leaned her head on his shoulder.
-No, Carlos, you’re kidding me….
The soft tone made Carlos’ heart melt, reaching out to cup her chin and look at her.
-You’re the one who’s going to seduce me, and you’re responsible for it.
Micaela shook her head.
-I didn’t do it!
I was so aggrieved, what seduction, there was no such thing!
-You did it, it’s in your head.
Carlos’ tone was as firm as it could be.
Micaela’s heart was beating fast and she was a little speechless.
-I, what’s wrong with thinking about it in my head, you, it doesn’t count?
-It counts, since you thought about it, of course I’m responsible for fulfilling your fantasies…..
Oooh, Micaela wanted so badly to bite herself for admitting it like that!
Looking into his deep eyes, Micaela bit her lip, knowing she probably couldn’t get away with it either.
When she got out of the car, she didn’t even dare to look at Raul, her head down and wanting to fly upstairs.
Carlos had his book in his hand and was looking at the girl walking in front of him, the corners of his mouth puckered a little more.
When he got home, Carlos took the book to his study, closed the door, took out the picture and put it in his folder, then carefully went through the book again and left it alone when there was nothing else.
After dinner, the two went into the studio together, Carlos on business and Micaela at the round table preparing her work for the final.
The sketches were quite irritating, the scope was too wide and I didn’t know where to focus. I kept thinking about it, but I kept thinking that my senior design had more feeling.
I didn’t realize it was almost ten o’clock, so I didn’t want to draw anymore, I’ll talk about it tomorrow.
Micaela suddenly remembered the book she had brought and approached Carlos at his desk.
-Carlos, where is the book I brought, I’ll take it upstairs and read it later before going to sleep….
Carlos turned and tugged on her arm, a force that made her fall into his arms, his thin lips wandered over her face, his voice extraordinarily magnetic.
-Do you still have energy to read before bed? It seems I wasn’t working hard enough…..
Micaela blushed a little and struggled to get up.
Carlos changed the subject and asked.
-I thought we said we were going back for the computer?
When he left, he only took one book with him.
Micaela stopped her movements and looked at Carlos.
-I actually wanted to go back for the flash drive, I thought it was in the computer, I probably lost it and couldn’t find it, I didn’t want to bring that computer.
Carlos had long since prepared new laptops for her, both Barrio Fanslan and Nyisrenda had them.
Carlos did not think much about it and said abruptly.
-Give me the key there.
Micaela was surprised, yes, she had said she wanted someone to clean the house, so she couldn’t do it without a key, so she got up hurriedly, took the key out of her purse and gave it to Carlos.
Looking at the time, Carlos turned off the computer and, with a push, took the girl in his arms again, his thin lips sought her ear and whispered.
-Micaela, give me some water…..
The girl blushed even more and begged for mercy.
-Carlos, don’t say that…..
Carlos stopped her with a mocking smile on his lips and took her by the waist to carry her upstairs.
The next morning, Carlos finished exercising, showered and changed, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the girl.
She showed no sign of waking up, her breathing was light and long, she was sleeping soundly, her long dark hair was spread out on the pillow, her face red, her eyelashes fanning, her lips still slightly swollen, all of it made his heart flutter….
Carlos leaned over, kissed her forehead and got up to go downstairs first.
He entered the study and took down from the bookshelf the album the girl had brought with her.
He too had looked at the album many times, marveling at how lovely his girl had been as a child….
He sat down at the desk and opened the album, his eyes falling on the woman to the left of the picture of the girl’s family of three, who was the girl’s mother.
Halfway through the day, he pulled out the photo he had cut out of the binder yesterday, from that book, the photo was well preserved, not a bit damaged, but you could see there was some age, and, on the back of the photo, was the time the photo was printed, twenty years ago, and the person in the photo, and his girl looked, exactly the same…
