Rain looked at Nilson with eyes full of wonder, only she knew that his heart was beating faster than any fetal heart she had ever heard….
Seeing that she said nothing, Nilson became a little nervous and unconsciously increased the strength of his hands.
-I will try to take my love for Moya and turn it into a friendship, I can’t promise that I can do it right away, but I can be sure that I will.
Rain swallowed saliva and struggled to spit out three words:
-Why?
Then she snatched another answer:
-For Estela?
She knows, of course, that he will try to turn her love for Moya into friendship, because Moya already has Carlos….
Not getting carried away by her, Nilson was less nervous.
-You won’t believe me if I say no, but yes, it’s not the only reason. I faced the threat of being removed from the position of Mr. Nilson if I didn’t get married and have children….
Lluvia’s breath caught and she lowered her head, about to let go of his hand. Getting Estela, using her to forget Moya, even ridiculously keeping the position of Mr. Nilson, none of which she was willing to….
-Not that I don’t have other options, but I want to try it with you.
Nilson grabbed her by the arms to keep her from breaking away.
Rain stopped again and looked at her, still with the same question.
-Because I have Estela, and you happen to like her, don’t you?
The big straight man Shaw replied with a very heartfelt
-Yes, I really don’t. Lluvia, like I told you, I just wanted to try it with you, I wasn’t thinking about other women.
Once again, Lluvia’s heart beat like a drum as the words -only with you- struck her heart…..
Nilson released one hand and stroked her cheek, his eyes rested on her lips, his slightly calloused thumb gently brushed her lips, his voice dropped a few tones.
-In your presence, I wanted to kiss you more than once, an impulse I hadn’t felt for anyone else, and that night at the hotel, I did, and I found I didn’t hate it at all, and I was intoxicated…..
Lluvia’s mind became a muddle because of his kisses and she asked, somewhat callously:
-What did this do?
The lump in Nilson’s throat slid up and down, tilted, moved inward, thin lips touched the spot where his thumb had just touched, hot breath spread over it….
-That’s it…
The other hand also released her arm and instead encircled her waist, gathering her into his arms, and his muffled voice sounded on his lips:
-And then this….
Thin lips pressed tightly against hers, one hand still caressing her cheek, the other holding her, deepening the kiss….
Rain, her brain short-circuited, didn’t know how to react, and her mouth was slightly open, as he wanted….
Nilson experienced once again what it meant to be -embraced- and kissed her lips again, and really, damn it, he missed it….
The breathing of the two men was getting more and more confused, and the hot kiss was about to swallow the woman in his arms…. Lluvia had no room to resist, nor did she want to….
Yes, I don’t want to…
That night at the hotel, that kiss, it was her initiative, she was just beginning to blur in consciousness, half asleep, her hands enveloping him was a subconscious movement, but because it was him, she was so subconscious, that kiss, she was just as intoxicated, only she did not know how to face him, only deliberately, at the moment he released her, pretending to be asleep….
After a few moments, Nilson came to his senses and released the person in his arms, watching her eyes slowly open, dripping with moisture, her red, slightly swollen lips making him want to kiss them again….
-If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as acquiescence.
There were a few moments of discretion in her muffled voice, and though she was reluctant to let go of the soft body in her hands, she had to let go…..
Finally, she lowered her head and kissed him on the lips.
-It’s too late, I’m not coming back, I’ll sleep next door, good night.
Rain was pushed back a few steps by Nilson and watched as he closed the bedroom door, and not long after, the sound of the adjoining room opening followed by the sound of it closing….
Rain covered her face with her hands and crouched in place….
Should she be happy?
I don’t know, she has mixed feelings….
Not all for Estela, not for forgetting Moya, not for using her as a shield to keep Mr. Nilson’s position, just for trying it with her, as sweethearts, and with the goal of getting married….
So, could he understand being attracted to her?
Lluvia crouched on the floor for a moment before getting up, approaching the bed and taking her cell phone from the bedside table to send a message to Micaela.
-Moya, come out and sit down sometime, I have many, many things I want to tell you…
