After seeing the whales from the beach, Adán Rouco wanted to take Estrella Berrocal in his motorhome to look for a nearby hotel, but it was in the middle of nowhere and the nearest hotel on the map was very far away, at least six or seven hours away by car.
Estrella Berrocal suggested, “Anyway, we’re going by caravan and we brought our luggage, so isn’t driving a caravan the intention to spend the night inside?”
In addition, the roads were not very clear at that time of night and Adán Rouco would not allow Estrella Berrocal to drive during the day, but not at night, so Estrella Berrocal would not feel comfortable if the task of driving was left to Adán Rouco alone.
Adán Rouco pulled Estrella Berrocal into the caravan: “Can you sleep tonight if you stay in the car?”.
Estrella Berrocal smiled and rubbed her head between her arms, “Of course I can sleep with Mr. Adam as my meat cushion. ”
Estrella Berrocal took a look at the crib in the camper, which was small but not excessively so it would be fine for one night, and there was a rectangular couch next to it, so one person could sleep on the bed and another on the couch if that wasn’t possible.
Dinner was cooked in the caravan’s simple kitchen and Estrella Berrocal prepared two steaming bowls of noodles with zucchini and ham tacos.
The two sit at a small dining table and eat their noodles.
Estrella Berrocal thought the noodles smelled good, but Adán Rouco doesn’t usually eat this kind of instant food, and of course, in Adán Rouco’s eyes, instant noodles are not just instant food, they are junk food.
“Are you used to eating?”
The man hooked his thin lips, “I’ve been with you long enough to get used to everything.”
… she has tasted everything she should and should not eat, and Adán Rouco has accompanied her.
The feeling is intimate, Adán Rouco breaks his fast for her, he does everything that was impossible before, she is special and unique in his heart.
Estrella Berrocal had just finished her noodles and was clearing the table when suddenly there was a knock at the window.
Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal look out the window at the same time, where a European woman is standing.
When you meet a stranger in a foreign country, even if it is a woman, you should be more careful.
Adán Rouco stood up and said to Estrella Berrocal: “I’m going to see”.
“Then take care of yourself.”
Adán Rouco nods slightly, leans a little, opens the door and gets out of the car.
The European woman had approached the car door and communicated first with Adam Rouco in English: “Hello, I have lost my companion and I am alone at night without a car, can I stay with you tonight?”
Seeing Adam Rouco’s face a little cold, the European crossed her arms and said anxiously again, “Please help me, I’m only staying for one night and I promise not to disturb.”
Estrella Berrocal heard the noise and also approached from the caravan: “Adán, what is it?
As soon as the European heard Estrella Berrocal speak in Spanish, her face immediately split into a smile and she said in Spanish, “So we are compatriots, what a coincidence, I am Spanish too. ”
Estrella Berrocal was stunned and looked at Adán Rouco, who explained, “He wanted to stay overnight.”
That look in Adán Rouco’s eyes means, look at you.
Naturally, it has no problem if Estrella Berrocal agrees, and it has no problem if Estrella Berrocal does not agree.
The woman looked at Estrella Berrocal with a look of pity, “Please take me in for the night, I can pay for my stay, I can’t find a car to go to the hotel at this time of night. ”
Estrella Berrocal, a soft-hearted, thin-skinned person and compatriot, was not quite ready to say no, so she looked unconsciously at Adán Rouco and asked, “Then why don’t we let her spend the night here?”
“It’s up to you.”
Finally, they took the woman in.
“Hello, my name is Gustava Capo, what is your name?”
Gustava Capo extended her hand and shook hands with Estrella Berrocal who introduced herself, “My name is Estre …”
Before the words were out of his mouth, Adán Rouco, for one, had already beaten him to it: “My name is Adá Rouco and this is my wife, Estre Berrocal. ”
Estrella Berrocal: “…”
Gustava Capo smiled and said, “You have some very nice names.”
Estrella Berrocal nods with a forced smile.
Adán Rouco is a man who uses pseudonyms with a true sense of propriety.
After a while, Gustava Capo’s stomach growled. Gustava Capo rubbed his stomach awkwardly and said with an embarrassed smile, “I haven’t eaten all night, do you have any food around here? I can pay for it. I’m too hungry…”
Estrella Berrocal asked, “Here we have noodles and bread, what do you want to eat?”.
“I’d like to have a pickle if that’s okay.”
Estrella Berrocal turned to get the noodles from the locker and was startled when she turned to leave and bumped into the tall, erect body of Adán Rouco.
“You scared me, why did you suddenly stand behind me without making a sound.”
Adán Rouco looked at her with downcast eyes, “I want to discuss with you how we are going to sleep tonight.”
Estrella Berrocal was stunned: “Oh, yes”.
It’s not that there is no place to sleep in the caravan, but … Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal are married and it would look a bit bad to sleep together in front of strangers.
Estrella Berrocal put down the noodles in her hand and fiddled with her small hands on his shirt, saying dryly, “Then why don’t you flatten the back seat and sleep in it tonight?”
Because Adán Rouco is a man, it is certainly not pleasant to sleep in the same space with two women, especially when the other is a strange woman.
“Are you that ungrateful to your husband?”
“What then, you can’t sleep with us.”
Adam Rouco chuckled lightly, “Shouldn’t your first reaction be to tell that Gustava Capo to sit down?”
“How’s that for a good time, you go and say it, I won’t.”
The two were “flirting” in this carriage when Gustava Capo suddenly entered and was stunned to see how close they were, and apologized, “That …. I was just hungry, so…”
Estrella Berrocal blushed slightly and hurriedly pulled away from Adán Rouco’s arms before handing him the noodles, “I’ll take you to the noodles.”
“Good.”
Adán Rouco stood still, raised his long fingers and pinched his temples.
What I thought was going to be the night of my life with Estrella Berrocal was cut short by a woman named Gustava Capo.
Passion in the car and all that has become a dream come true.
…
After making the instant noodles, Gustava Capo ate the steaming noodles while chatting with Estrella Berrocal.
Gustava Capo looked at the caravan with delighted envy: “I envy you, do you travel in your own caravan?”.
“We came in the caravan and came to see the whales. Tomorrow we will go to the hotel.”
“How romantic, I envy you, you must be very much in love.”
Estrella Berrocal rubbed her neck and said modestly and perfunctorily, “Okay.”
The truth is that I didn’t want to reveal too much about her and Adán Rouco in front of people I didn’t know very well, after all, Adán Rouco had just said his pseudonym.
But this Gustava Capo, typically a self-unknown man, “Wow, this kimchi, it’s so good, it’s the best kimchi I’ve had in all my years of life.”
“You’re very hungry.”
Gustava Capo opened the conversation and said, “By the way, where are you from?”.
“We are from The Holy City, are you?”
“What a coincidence, my mom is from La Ciudad Santa and I used to go back to my grandmother’s house with my mom when I was a kid.”
Adán Rouco came out of the cubicle inside and said to Estrella Berrocal: “I’m going to stay outside for a while”.
