Chapter 4 7
Luz turns to the bedside table as soon as she feels the bed move, she doesn’t want to see it, because she is imagining thousands of scenes, but strangely enough, although she should be nervous about being close to a man, she feels the opposite.
She relaxes so much knowing he’s there that she drifts into a deep, peaceful sleep almost immediately, to the images of Gerard smiling.
For Gerard the matter is not so simple.
Because those pillows instead of taking away the temptation to touch her, hug her and make her feel the love he feels for her, they make him want more to throw the obstacles and cling to her perfect little body.
He hears Luz breathing slowly and calmly, which means she’s sound asleep and that’s 1 or a little disappointed, because it means the closeness doesn’t affect her at all. She stares at the ceiling for a while, though the darkness isn’t much for her to see.
He turns to try to see the silhouette of the girl and gets the moonlight to give him the satisfaction of having that wonderful view in front of him.
Out of nowhere, a certain part of his body with a life of its own begins to wake up, feeling how his face blushes. Time passes and nothing changes, until she turns to be almost facing him, only a soft pillow separates him from her.
-You are so beautiful, Luz…
That whisper escapes her with all the feeling and, as if the girl’s hearing did not stop working, she sleepily feels the pillow that separates them and throws it flying, she pouts and tries to find something to cling to.
Gerard stops everything for a second when the girl’s slender fingers reach his torso, hug him and pull him, to stick to him as if it were a better pillow.
He settles down a bit, slipping his arm under the girl’s head and letting her scent fill him. As she sleeps, she growls a little at his movements, until she finishes accommodating her, she crosses one leg and her lips remain glued to her chest.
He takes a deep breath, because that’s more than he bargained for and it’s killing him. It’s obvious that he’s going to end up sore in a certain part of his body, but it will be totally worth it.
This time the insomnia that afflicts him is not because of the terror of his crime, but because of his closeness to the woman he loves.
Sleep comes late, you don’t know when. But when the sun’s rays hit his eyes, there are two brown eyes looking at him scared, sleepy and confused.
“What… what happened last night?” – asks Luz very embarrassed –
– No… I know, I fell asleep and I didn’t realize anything – he lies to her and she frowns -.
-It was me, right? Because the pillows on my bed usually appear on the floor in the morning.
– I don’t know… but if it was like that, I’m thankful for that, because waking up like this is the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time.
– Daddy! Little light! How cute they look hugging like this! -The girl climbs on the bed and they both move away from her immediately, she drops down in the middle and kisses each of them on the cheek-. I like to wake up
So, how’s my little brother?
He places his hand on Luz’s belly and she smiles, because the girl doesn’t stop worrying about the baby.
-Okay, a little hungry.
– I’ll order breakfast…
-I was thinking that we better get up, go have breakfast at the restaurant and then go to the amusement park.
-Yes! – Charlize yells and gets out of bed -. Gerard stares at Luz for a few seconds, who can’t help but smile at the little princess’s attack of happiness, until he notices the man’s intense gaze on her.
-Something happens? she asks amused.
-Inadvertently, I had the best night in a long time.
Luz también, eso es lo que sabe ahora mismo, pero nadie sabe de sus pesadillas y no es algo que quiera se sepa. Solo se levanta de la cama para ayudar a la pequeña a vestirse. Mientras Luz está en eso, Gerard se mete a una ducha muy fría, para ver si se le pasa ese calor que sintió durante la noche.
Cuando sale ya vestido, Luz entra y se encierra, toma una ducha fría porque quiere quitarse el mismo calor que se le quedó pegado al cuerpo. Lo ella no sabe es que solo se dio cuenta al abrir los ojos, mientras que Gerard sí pudo disfrutar más el momento.
-Tal vez lo de las almohadas es algo inútil – se dice mientras se enjuaga el cabello – Además, hace millones de años que no dormía tan bien.
Se viste con ropa sencilla, un vestido ligero y sandalias cómodas, se seca un poco el cabello y se hace una trenza suelta y baja para ponerse un sombrero. Como siempre, sin maquillaje y sale del baño, para encontrarse con el cuerpo de Gerard frente a ella, a punto de llamar a la puerta. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
– Lo siento, me estaba preocupando tu demora.
-Estoy bien, gracias por preocuparte – cierra la puerta tras ella, pero se arrepiente porque se queda atrapada entre ella y Gerard – ¿Y la princesa?
-Bajó con George – le dice él sin moverse un milímetro -. Quería hablar contigo por lo de anoche. -Sí, no te preocupes, yo dormiré en el sofá hoy…
-No, I want to sleep with you, but without the pillows in between – his nose brushes her cheek and that alone is enough for all the fires extinguished with the shower to light up again -. I want to hug you, protect you while you sleep and breathe your scent to calm my heart, will you let me ?
Luz, to escape those eyes that make her lose her sanity, closes hers and tells him in a whisper.
-Yes, I will do it.
