Meeting at the pool

JOÃO FELIPE

I immediately left my room and approached the pool silently.

“ You want to kill me, you madman!” She screamed scared when she saw me coming, placing her hand on her chest and closing her eyes, with a sigh of relief, I believe that because it was me, and not a stranger.

I watched as she got out of the pool, in a well-behaved black bathing suit, which, despite hiding more than exposing her body, left me in an unusual state of excitement.

" Aren't you going to say anything?” She asked, drying herself with a towel that was on top of a lounger next to the pool.

" I think I should be demanding explanations here, no? " I said, looking at her, who was even more beautiful with her face flushed by the cold. " After all, this pool belongs to the mansion.”

I didn't have to finish the sentence, because she understood very well what I was referring to.

" You are so unbearable! " she said, looking at me with an expression of disgust and already turning to leave, wearing a fluffy green robe, the color of her eyes.

Seeing her turn her back on me, once again, left a sour taste in my mouth.

Despite my words, this time I had no intention of pulling away. Quite the contrary, I felt almost happy to see her there, so approachable, swimming in the pool at my house. It felt like one of my dreams.

At that moment, I decided that I couldn't hold back any longer and, for once, I wanted her close to me, without fighting or arguing.

"Vivi, I'm sorry," I said, pulling her gently by the arm. " I'm an idiot. I shouldn't have said that. After all, Dad always made sure that you had complete freedom not only to use the pool but also to visit our house.”

I continued to hold on to her arm, and Viviane, surprisingly, didn't push me away.

We stared at each other, and what I saw in his eyes was exactly what I felt. We could deny it, take offense, and avoid each other, but the feeling was always with us, and as much as we tried to deny it, we were crazy about each other.

" I hate you, you know? " she said, panting. " You're a complete idiot.”

As she spoke, I brought my face closer to hers, my eyes now on her lips. The words she said to me reached my ears in a different way. Because I heard what she didn't pronounce and that we knew we should never expose ourselves to the world.

"Idiot and completely crazy about you, Vivi," I confessed.

I couldn't stand to keep it under lock and key anymore, it was eating me up inside. I couldn't bear to stay away any longer. I needed to be with Viviane, in every possible way.

She looked at me with surprise and before she tried to pull away, I hugged and kissed her, as I had wanted for many years. And after a moment of hesitation, she returned my kiss with the same intensity that I had imposed.

I always wanted to taste those lips, I always wanted to touch that body and the more time passed, the less desire I felt for other women. And now I confirmed something I already knew and didn't want to accept, that the truth is that it was here, in Vivi's arms, that I wanted to be.

Viviane

We were kissing! As if to confirm that it was really real, and not just another dream like so many others that I had had with João Felipe, I clung to his body even more, not being able to fully believe what was happening at that moment.

I felt his hands everywhere at once and it felt wonderful.

Even denying my feelings, I always waited for this moment, I just never wanted to accept that, even in the face of so many hurts caused by João Felipe, I could still feel something good for him.

And it was exactly because I remembered his words, so many things that came out of his mouth that hurt me, that I tried to pull away.

" Let go of me, João Felipe! " I said, pulling away from him.

" I want you and I can't stand to pretend I don't," he said, looking at me passionately. 

I almost couldn't believe that this was the same man who didn't miss the opportunity to hurt me with his words and his mocking looks.

" How can I believe you? " I questioned because deep down, I wanted to believe that he felt for me what he was saying.

He approached me again and hugged me tight and carefully at the same time as if I were something precious to him.

I didn't resist, because I liked being in his arms, I was just afraid of hurting myself even more.

I had hooked up with other guys before, and I never felt any desire to move on. But with Joao Felipe, I was feeling different, an intensity burning like embers after just a few kisses.

He pulled me by the back of my neck, lifting my head and looking into my eyes.

"Believe! I want you like I've never wanted anyone else. And if I came back now, it was because I couldn't stand being away anymore" He looked at me with passion and desire and I believed his words so intensely from him. " I can't stand to be away from you anymore, Vivi. I want you next to me, and believe me when I say that everything I've ever said that could have hurt you was only because I wanted you to be strong for both of us.”

Hearing those words was like a balm to my ears. I didn't suffer alone for all this time. It wasn't just me who pretended to hate someone who was inside my heart and who didn't leave my thoughts.

This time, I took the initiative, kissing him hungrily. A hunger that had been consuming me since I found myself in love with someone as inaccessible as João Felipe.
