Chapter 5 Our first kiss

After going to Fabian’s apartment, so we had to do some necessary shopping, wine, a good salad, meat, and other things that we needed, we went to Laura’s house, she came from a family that had its fortune in real estate, so they had houses and apartments in incredibly attractive places.

This was beneficial to us since we could travel and stay, without any problem. I could use some peace, although with my friends that was almost impossible. I thought for several minutes when Fabian said, “what happened in the cafeteria?”

I was surprised when he asked that question.

“What is that supposed to mean? Nothing happened with Israel.” I looked away and thought, you moron.

“I never said anything about Israel, now I know something happened, are you going to tell me or not.”

“You think you can fool me, so easily”. He made it sound like I didn't recognize him.

“Lari, I care about you and I still don't understand how he can be so obsessed with you.”

“Fabian, if this fight hadn’t happened that day, I would have been his girlfriend,” I said without looking at him.

“You told me it was ridiculous, that I would think it was something more serious, I knew you were lying to me, I was just waiting for you to tell me the truth”.

“And then, what happened, do you speak to him”

“Yes, well, no, I just told him that it was over, that he should move on with his life, he had many more options just choose one and forget about me”

“Well, I think that was clear to Israel,” he said.

“I don't think so, he said it was important for him and he would not give up.”

“Lari, that crazy man is in love with you, we all knew it, you were almost part of his life and ended everything like that, I guess if I were him, I wouldn’t let you pass either,” he told me looking at me in the eyes.

“The conversation is over; I don't want to hear from him anymore.”

“Don’t be angry with me, I’m just worried, and now with this Tristan on the picture, we hardly know him, take it easy, don’t fly too high, let time run its course”

“I will, I promise” I went up to him and kissed him on the cheek and a hug

“I love you silly, but not enough to let you drive, get away from me” we both laughed like kids, I missed these conversations with him, he has always been like a brother to me.

We arrived at the beach house, the day was beautiful, it was four o’clock in the afternoon and Mr. Sun was what I liked, everybody was already having fun, Roberto was there, Tristan too, I was surprised to see him.

“Hey, beautiful, I thought you'd be busy today.”

“So did I, but we ended earlier.”

“We owe everything to Alicia, so we took advantage of the day at the beach, today there will be good food, meat, wine, good company, so you are welcome,” Fabian said with open arms.

At that moment, Dilan threw him into the pool, Alicia ran, but it was useless, Dilan hugged her, and they fell together, Roberto carried Laura, to jump into the pool, but she extended her hand and managed to take a part of my blouse, I lost my balance, but Tristan was there, he took me by the hand prevent me from falling into the water.

He hugged me in such a way that he had his arms around my body, his face was so close, looking at me, I felt like I was lost in his gaze “you’re okay” he said

“I’m fine, they are crazy, you must have noticed” I smiled shyly, without stopping hugging me he moved me to the side, I turned around and without suspecting it, he took me by the hand, he brought me close to him again and I got up in his arms and he jumped into the water.

I could hear everybody screaming, "I thought Fabian was crazy, but I think I underestimated you," and he walked up to me and kissed my forehead.

“A little bit of fun doesn’t hurt anyone, ” he said and winked his eye, he came out of the pool and helped me to get out, I came closer to him and I pushed him back into the  pool I stood watching with my arms at me.

He came up to me and said, “I'm always alert, but when I'm around you, it's impossible.”

It was Friday, so we decided to stay all night, to avoid the road at night, it was extremely dangerous and dark, besides the house was huge, with a beautiful view of the beach and we would see the sunset, after dinner.

Almost at midnight, Fabian was so drunk that Dilan had to carry him and take him to his room as if he was a 6-year-old kid, Alicia and

Dilan went to sleep, Roberto was with Laura, he was saying something in her ear and she was fascinated, smiling, they got up and said goodbye to us, heading towards home, Tristan and I, stayed on the beach, lying on the sand, watching the sunset, I was amazed by the beautiful colors that looked between them the red my favorite color and the view of the sunrise took my breath away.

‘This is beautiful!' I said looking at the sky.

“Yes, it is incredibly beautiful, “Tristan said without removing his eyes off me.

“I am talking about the sunset, ” I said, looking at him.

“And I'm talking about you, ” said Tristan.

I wasn’t used to this, he was so romantic, chivalrous, and direct, so sure of himself, he told me what he thought without any restriction, that made me nervous and I fell easily to his phrases, I was surprised how I lost my head and the ground, being with him.

I think that was the moment when I thought, run away before you can’t handle the situation, but I think it was too late, Tristan was close to me, when I closed my eyes for a moment, he was already with his face in front of me, so close that I could feel his breath and he came even closer.

I thought that he would kiss me, and my body wanted it, but he only kissed my forehead and touched my face with his hand, he came close to my ear.

“I want you so much, I want to touch your body and kiss you as no one has ever kissed you, I don't know what you've done to me but I'm crazy about you”

“But I'm not going to do anything if you don't want to”. I looked at him, and I felt he wanted it as badly as I did.

I approached my lips to his and we merged in a passionate and tender kiss, I felt the air leaving me, his hands on my body, running through it and I wanted it too, I had never felt this way, it was a feeling that had no limits, passionate and I do not know how to describe it, he stopped, I am ashamed to realize that it was not me, who put a stop to this madness.

He kissed me again “I want you to be my girlfriend, I am old-fashioned, but I want us to go step by step, not force things, let them take their course”

“For now, I think that's what we both want to be together and get to know one another,” he said as he looked at me.

“Yes!

I want to be your girlfriend, be with you,” we look like a couple of teenagers.

“I want to make it clear between the two of us, from now on, everything is going to be different, and I want you to agree, let's see what happens.”
