We sat with Adriana all night and had dinner together again before saying goodbye and parting ways.
As we leave, Adriana looks at Carlos and Micaela with envy:
-Micaela, you are happy and I am sure you always will be….. Mr. Carlos, thank you, thank you for being there….
Carlos put his arms around Micaela and nodded slightly, without saying anything.
Neither of them asked for the other’s contact information, because they would probably never meet again.
It’s good to talk about some things and let them go.
Just like her and Natalia, no longer enemies, but not wordless friends either, nodding acquaintances, nothing more.
It was completely dark when they got home, and Micaela got out of the car and wanted to take a walk on the beach, but Carlos pulled her back into the house, closed the door without turning on the lights and pressed her against the back of the door.
-Do you still want to go for a sea breeze with a cold? -Huh?
Micaela asked as she rested her hand on his chest, trying to empty the distance a little:
-Carlos, what do you say, shall we tell Marcos about her pregnancy? I also feel a strange pity for Adriana. Besides, after so many years as a couple, do you really feel nothing for Adriana?
There was an unmistakable tinge of jealousy in Carlos’ tone:
-We don’t need to interfere in other people’s feelings?
He said lowering his head to kiss her on the lips and the woman raised her voice as she tried to push him away with more force:
-Carlos, I’m a little hungry, I’d like a late night snack…..
Carlos paused and reached out to turn on the light, looking at the woman in his arms with concern in his eyes.
-Didn’t you eat enough at night?
Seeing that she eats less than before?
Micaela nodded unconcerned.
-Yes, I’m not full, why don’t you cook me something…?
Carlos stepped back as he had been told.
-Okay, what do you want to eat? I’ll prepare it.
Micaela’s heart swelled with joy and excitement.
-All right.
Carlos smiled as he rubbed her head and led her to the living room sofa to sit down.
-Sit down and wait for me.
Micaela nodded obediently, and as soon as he entered the kitchen, she got up, went upstairs as fast as she could and headed for her room, pulling out the suitcase she had brought from Teladia and rummaging through it for a while, but there was no….
He found his carry-on suitcase again, zipped it closed and searched it carefully, still nothing….
Strange, he remembers who brought it, where he put it….
Undeterred, she opened the suitcase again and bent down in an effort to keep her breasts from touching her legs….
-Looking for what?
-Breasts…
-I pulled that one back.
-Huh?
And so on and so forth.
Micaela’s head snapped up as Carlos stood up with a lazy face, leaning against the door frame with his arms around her chest, his eyes roaming her chest….
Micaela starts to sweat….
What a pregnancy, she didn’t even know when Carlos had arrived, and she answered him unconsciously!
Carlos dark eyes, should have thought about it, out for so long, the two children are not close, the cow property girl is to be very high …
He walked over and bent down to pick up the girl, who was still crouched in front of the suitcase, and wrapped his arms around her, before the woman came to and looked at him with some exasperation:
-What are you throwing that for?
-You don’t need that kind of thing with me.
A comment that made Micaela not only shut up, but her face quickly heated up….
Carlos hugged her towards the bed, his voice desolate to the core:
-Micaela, I will help you…..
An hour later, Micaela showered and sat at the table, looking at the colorful noodles, feeling even hungrier, but there was only one bowl on the table, she unconsciously looked at Carlos’ doorbell and asked:
-Are you not going to eat?
Carlos removed the stool from the table and held her by the shoulders so she could sit down, bending down, his thin lips whispering meaningfully in her ear:
-I’m full.
Micaela was so embarrassed that she hurried to grab the chopsticks to eat the noodles and did not say a word to him….
Carlos sits next to her, looking at the girl with insatiable eyes and a slight smile at the corner of his lips….
It’s good that only he and Micaela are here…
The woman, who was not a big eater, was full after half of the meal and looked at the man next to her.
-Carlos, you’re overcooking it…..
Carlos raised an eyebrow.
-Full?
-Mmm!
Carlos took the chopsticks from his hand, brought the bowl closer and lowered his head to eat the noodles.
It was not the first time she had shared a plate of food like that, but still, every time she did, she felt a deep closeness between her and Carlos….
After the dishes were done, Carlos laid her down on the couch to watch the World Modeling Contest.
-Carlos, it’s really them! Gabriela and Valery!
They were all her rivals in the modeling world, then they became friends, then they lost touch, and now, seeing them on the stage of her dreams?
Carlos rubbed his head, his eyes full of favor.
-Hmm. Do you miss being on stage?
Micaela looks at Carlos and snuggles into his arms.
-Nostalgic, but I won’t go back, some things are better left in the memory forever.
Carlos kissed her hair in approval:
-You’re right.
Following the principle that when one is full, one is sleepy, the woman fell asleep in Carlos’ arms in a jiffy….
It’s time to get tired…
Carlos laughed softly and carried her upstairs, laying her gently on the soft mattress, covering her with the blankets and going to wash up.
When she came out of the bathroom, the girl was sound asleep and Carlos turned off the light and lay down next to her, holding her in his arms and kissing her forehead, whispering softly:
-Micaela, dream of me…..
The woman settled into his arms and wrapped her small hands around his waist….
Carlos closes his eyes contentedly, falling into a dream when he hears the girl murmur:
-Carlos, he just had dinner with Adriana, why didn’t you say a word…..
It seems a real dream about him.
Satisfied, Carlos tightened his arms even more, knowing that she was asleep and could not hear, but answered anyway:
-I’m not interested in talking to other women….
He kisses her forehead and whispers:
-I just want to talk to you…
