It was a while before Carlos released her and looked at her with loving eyes.
-Still bitter?
Micaela opened her eyes covered in watery mist, her mind a jumble of confusion, and looked at him in bewilderment.
-What?
The insensitive look was something Carlos loved, he rubbed her head and looked down to kiss her watery lips again.
-All right, go change and I’ll take you out later.
He slept until 2:00 in the afternoon and was over his nap, just in time to go out and play.
Micaela hadn’t been anywhere since the end of her pregnancy, and after the birth of her two children, she had been home for a long time helping with childcare, so she was immediately excited to know that she could go out and play when she got somewhere new.
Soon after, the two set off, Carlos got the car ready and drove her towards the busy pedestrian street, parked the car and the two of them pulled into the shopping area.
Weekend afternoon, the pedestrian street is full of shopping couples, they are also like ordinary couples, hand in hand, see the tempting snacks will stop to buy a taste, see the street interested in small games, will stop to play, know the taste of the fun of small items, but also to buy a few collection, the two experience the most simple happiness, immense satisfaction …
Disappeared from the modeling circle for four years, Micaela, after returning to China, stopped appearing in public, and now mingles in this crowd without worrying about being recognized, and from time to time, when someone wondered if they were Micaela and Carlos, they have gone far away ….
-Carlos, is that an arcade over there?
Micaela asked, looking not too far away as Carlos put his purchases in the car, closed the door and followed her line of sight:
-Do you want to go?
-Hmmm! I played with Alba and the girls that time in SalamonsaCiudad Pesla, and I’m a little tempted to play it now that I’ve seen it.
Carlos followed her naturally, taking her by the hand and heading towards the arcade.
Micaela slowed her pace and looked down to see his large hand take hers in the palm, shaking it tightly for the entire afternoon….
Carlos returned her gaze, saw her looking down at her hands, thin lips raised in a slight smile, stopped and, with a push, pulled her to him and embraced her….
Micaela was startled, people were coming and going down the street, and she was about to push him away when Carlos whispered in her ear:
-Micaela, I’ll always, always hold your hand….
Micaela blushed a little and leaned her head towards him.
-Until we are too old to walk?
Carlos was amused and pressed his forehead against hers.
-Well, I’ll hold you even if I can’t walk.
Micaela lowered her eyes, how could her heart not race with those touching words of love?
-Hey, isn’t that Micaela?
-It seems to be here….
-It must be here, then it’s not Mr. Carlos!
All around them there were excited boos and soon a large crowd of people gathered around.
-Wow, it’s really Micaela!
-Wow, my goddess is still so beautiful!
-Micaela, sign this for me!
-Micaela, Mr. Carlos let’s take a picture together!
As more and more people gather around, Carlos looks at the woman in his arms who is also a bit startled, and Micaela looks at Carlos without knowing what to do….
The corner of Carlos’ mouth quirks up in a smile.
-Girl, are you ready?
So noisy around her, but Micaela still heard what he asked and nodded, her mind remembering the same situation many years ago, when she and Bianca were surrounded by fans, and Carlos appeared out of nowhere, taking her by the hand and leading her out of the thicket….
The two smiled at each other and Carlos took her hand in his and turned to run in the direction with fewer people….
The crowd froze slightly for a second, then stretched its legs and chased them….
At that moment, the pedestrian street caught a group of people screaming excitedly, chasing the man and woman couple whose hands were intertwined in an extraordinarily comical image….
Carlos held tightly the girl’s hand, looking at her from time to time, feeling immensely satisfied to see the smile of happiness that was drawn on her face….
It’s true that the game of you chasing me is exciting, but running for a long time tires!
Especially Micaela, who had not exercised for a long time, Carlos sensed the girl’s effort and, observing the terrain, quickly pulled the woman around a corner and into a crevice between buildings beside him!
Micaela gasped violently, her small face pressed against Carlos’ chest as she looked out, a large group of people were whistling and running forward, they could be heard shouting for her and Carlos….
-Carlos, that was close, so many people, they grabbed them asking for autographs and pictures until when?
Finally there was no one outside, Micaela tried to calm her breathing and said, looking back she realized that she and Carlos were facing each other, tightly squeezed, the gap was only about fifty, sixty, sixty centimeters wide, squeezing two people, they couldn’t even turn around….
The atmosphere suddenly became suddenly enchanting for a few moments….
Through several layers of clothing, Micaela felt Carlos’ equally violent heartbeat, looked up and saw his burning eyes….
The girl ran her steps, her small face reddened a little more, the beads of sweat between her forehead slid down, adding a little more beauty, her large hand caressed her cheek, wiping the beads of sweat, and she asked in a deep voice:
-Happy?
-Mmm, very, very happy!
Then she stood on tiptoe and gently brushed her lips against Carlos’ thin ones.
-But the happiest, thanks to you.
Carlos immediately reached her lips and kissed her gently for a long, long time before releasing her, his muffled voice echoing against her lips:
-All my happiness, I owe it to you.
Remembering that the fans outside would return, Carlos didn’t continue to get maudlin here, pulling his hand out and heading in a similar direction.
-The fans have found us, and this whole swath of people are afraid to go looking and go to the arcade to play another day, aren’t they?
Carlos asked, and Micaela nodded, but paused and shook his hand.
-Carlos, look who it is.
Carlos looked and immediately went over and took the woman in his arms, holding her head so she wouldn’t look.
Not far away, in front of some store, a tall man in a black suit holds a woman dressed in white against the wall and kisses….
Micaela asked without struggling, muffled in his arms:
-Carlos, isn’t it…
-Well, it’s Mateo, and we’re going to have some wedding wine.
There was a slight smile in Carlos’ words.
Then he wrapped Micaela up and left without disturbing them.
Micaela did not turn around even though she was curious to know who the woman was, and looked at Carlos at her side as she followed his steps.
-Carlos, are you sure about Alba’s brother? Are you sure they are really getting married?
-Sure, and to be sure, they’ve been in love for years.
Micaela’s eyes were full of astonishment.
-Carlos, what kind of eyes do you have? You take one look and you know everything?
Carlos throws her a look full of favor and doesn’t explain anything, he only murmurs:
-Dear…
Then Micaela paused violently again.
Carlos frowned, what an acquaintance he had stumbled upon again….
The smile on Micaela’s face vanished, and not far away was Adriana with a big belly, looking more than six months pregnant…
