So you already liked him?
Alba, somewhat surprised, looked at him.
-Was it love at first sight, then?
Ernesto’s mouth smiled a wicked smile and his thin lips brushed her red ones, his voice trailed off for a few moments.
-No, it was a kiss.
Alba thought about the image that had been told of the encounter and felt a little amused.
-I’ve rewarded you with a slap on the wrist, and you’re still ensconced in love?
Ernesto only has eyes for her seductive red lips….
-Well, I’m probably a masochist….
Alba pulled back and didn’t let him kiss her.
-Then why do you like me so much?
It’s clear that you’ve forgotten it several times, and the memories of our previous relationship haven’t reappeared even now….
Ernesto raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the woman in his arms, yes, how could he like her so much, he had suffered a lot for her, she had liked Carlos at the beginning and intended to be used to get over Carlos, this is also a bumpy road….
Ernesto let out a small laugh and wrapped a hand around the back of her neck and pressed her against him.
-Because you are Alba….
Then he kissed her hard on the lips and swallowed all her questions in his mouth….
I love her for many reasons, I love her laugh, I love her glow, I love her arrogance and dominance, I love anything as long as it is her….
Alba thought about the pile of gifts and tried to open them, but Ernesto caught her in his arms.
-Baby, those are yours, take your time to unwrap them tomorrow, now, it’s time for us to rest.
How could Alba not know what Ernesto had in mind with that elbow?
-No, I want to open my present first.
She was about to approach her, when Ernesto took her in his arms and put his lips directly on her earlobe and said wickedly.
-Don’t drop the resistance that Leonardo and the others have purposely saved for me.
The hot spray of breath behind her ears made Alba’s feet go limp and she was dragged by Ernesto through a sea of balloons and led into the master bedroom.
Once, the bedspreads were cool tones, his style, now, replaced by warm shades of goose yellow, and every corner, rearranged, reveals Alba’s preferences everywhere.
This man, how thoughtful he is…..
Alba felt even more moved and, somewhat embarrassed, she tried to push him away and turned around to go to the bathroom.
-I’m going to take a shower first….
Ernesto doesn’t let go and raises an eyebrow.
-In such a hurry? You have to follow the normal procedure, go remove your make-up first.
Alba glares at him.
-You’re the one who’s being cute!
Ernesto admitted it immediately.
-Yes, I’m playing.
Alba still turned around and sat at the dressing table, she was in the habit of removing her makeup every day, she scanned the table for skin care products and the moment she picked up the makeup remover, she wondered why it seemed lighter. Did it run out so fast?
Unscrewing the cap and pausing violently?
It wasn’t her usual makeup remover, but a box Ernesto had gone to have custom-made and inside was a diamond ring set in red velvet that bloomed in the refraction of light….
Alba’s heart was pounding and she looked at the ring on her hand breathlessly….
Ernesto knelt down, took her other hand and brought it to his lips to kiss it.
-Baby, marry me!
-Ernesto, I’m going to be with Micaela!
Alba hastily interrupted him….
Ernesto was all black, feeling what Carlos felt for the first time, jealousy of his best friend!
Halfway through, he answered.
-Well.
The marriage could have waited until Carlos and Micaela got together, and the wedding could have been proposed earlier.
Alba raised her eyebrows and looked at the ring on her hand.
-Then start over.
Ernesto let out a small laugh at how cute his baby was.
After regrouping, he looked at Alba and said with deep emotion.
-Baby, I love you, marry me.
Alba looked into his eyes, heart racing, and nodded.
-I do.
Although he knew she would say yes, Ernesto was filled with joy and felt a million fireworks explode over his head, and he also felt that a huge stone had fallen to the ground, and he got up excitedly and hugged her tightly, very tightly.
Half-heartedly, he let go again, fearing that she might pull back, and quickly took the ring and slipped it on Alba’s left ring finger.
-From this moment on, Alba, you are mine forever.
Alba looked at Ernesto, the excitement in his deep eyes was everywhere, making her feel tingly and uneasy at the same time.
-Ernesto, I feel so happy, will I wake up tomorrow and forget about you again?
Ernesto paused and looked at Alba. The last time Dr. Wade had called him, he had told him that the heart needed to be healed and that it was crucial to get Alba to open her heart, and he wanted to have a good conversation with Alba about her inner thoughts, but right now, in that happy moment, Alba had agreed to marry him and, since it was her birthday, it was better not to mention this sad matter.
Hold her tight in your arms.
-No fear, big deal, I’ll chase you again, I love you so much, you’ll fall in love with me again, like now.
Alba repressed her anxiety, her impending confession was relegated to the back of her mind, just by not saying she loved him, she could reduce the risk of forgetting him at one point, couldn’t she?
Ernesto stopped and picked her up.
-Let’s go take a shower….
Alba put her arms around his neck and suddenly thought about the delivery in the car and asked.
-By the way, Ernesto, what did you buy to send to Brillantella?
That delivery was also in the back of the car with a gift from some friends that I forgot to bring up.
Ernesto’s mind was not here, filled with the need to eat his future wife, he settled her on a seat over the sink and answered nonchalantly.
-I haven’t bought anything to send to your office…”.
And then he kissed her on the lips….
…
The next day, the sun was shining.
After drinking heavily the night before and sleeping late, Carlos, who was always an early riser, finally fell asleep and unconsciously hugged the girl in his arms a little tighter.
Micaela’s confession song still seemed to be in his ears, causing the sleeping man to twist his mouth and squeeze his arms even tighter.
Micaela protested, murmuring.
-Carlos, don’t hold me so tightly….
The soft, sleepy tone of voice caused Carlos to slowly open his eyes, Micaela asleep in his arms, her face towards him, her long hair cascading behind her head, her breathing light, her sweet little face red….
Carlos looked at her with an incomparable softness inside him, going to his company, there was nothing better than hugging Micaela and taking a nap, his fine lips kissed her forehead and he decided to sleep with Micaela until she woke up naturally today.
Leonardo, also languishing in bed, was not as content as he might have been. He held his hand to his side out of habit, only to shudder and sit up with a jolt.
Where’s Olivia?
