Madrid

Raúl

The day started in an incredible way. I returned home after a wonderful achievement, I was finally called up to the national team, my girlfriend made a statement to me, and we had a wonderful time. Yeah… Life is smiling at me, my heart is light, and I hope things keep flowing that way. After intense moments, it was time to talk to Alana’s family, specifically her mother. I understand the concern, but at the same time I think it’s exaggerated, they’ve known me for so long, they know my character and they act like they don’t.

As soon as I pull up in front of the house, I feel the tension that envelops Alana. I touch her face lightly, she looks at me tenderly. We don’t say anything, our looks answer for everything we could say at that moment. As soon as we enter, she squeezes my hand tightly and leads me to the living room where some familiar voices were coming from, we arrive in front of everyone and the sound stops, I feel Alana’s hand sweating next to mine. Everyone looks, and for a few seconds an unbearable silence settles in that environment, until a dialogue begins.

– Goodnight!

– Goodnight! – everyone responds in unison, except Dani.

– I thought you weren’t coming home, Alana! – her mother says, and looks at us reproachfully.

– I came back, but… Yeah… – Alana says, and her mouth opening and closing habit takes over her, and no sound is uttered.

– I came here to talk to Mrs. Elena! – I say and my mother-in-law looks at me with a very serious, a little intimidating expression. – I think I need to clarify how I feel about your daughter!

– Say, I’m here to listen! – She tells me coldly, but her husband is a consistent man, he gets up, pats his son on the shoulder who glares at me, waving them out of the room. – So I’m waiting…

I let go of Alana’s hand, I sit on the couch even though she hasn’t invited me, I look at my girlfriend, I notice that she’s pale, and I realize how difficult it is to have a mother who imposes her tastes and preferences.

– I want to tell you that this image of a freeloader doesn’t match my character, I’m in love with your daughter, and I want something serious with her, and…

– Until when?

– Like this?

– Until the final call up for the World Teams Tournament, or will it last a little longer? I sense the ironic tone in her question, and it pisses me off, but I can’t lose my temper with her.

– No, Miss Elena! I’m sorry but your question offends me, I’ve said it and I’ll say it again, I’m in love with your daughter, and I think you’ve known me long enough to know a little about me, and would you rather believe the statements of an envious asshole?

– Raúl, I have nothing against you, but I worry about my daughter, who by the way is the only one I have, and…

– I understand your concern, I don’t have children, but I have younger brothers, and especially a sister, and I worry about what might happen to her in the future. And if that happened to me, I would give a vote of confidence to my friend, or close person who was dating Eva! – She doesn’t answer anything, just looks at me with a thoughtful expression, I exchange glances with Alana who is sitting next to me, she holds my hand firmly, and a shy smile appears on her beautiful face. Until my mother-in-law decides to speak, it was seconds that seemed like an eternity.

– Raúl, I think you’re right when you say you deserve a vote of confidence. I hope you don’t disappoint me and don’t make my daughter suffer…

I’m glad she understood how I feel, and take my word for it. She gets up, and calls Alana to follow her. They go upstairs, and I’m sitting there on the couch waiting for Alana. I look around me, with nothing to do, I get up and walk towards the doors that lead to the pool, I walk a little and I come across the color of the water that seems to call me, unfortunately I’m not at my house to play for good and feel the coolness of the liquid on my skin. A voice behind me snaps me out of my trance.

– Did you manage to convince Elena with your good boy speech?

– When did I become this perverted monster for you, Daniel?

– Raúl, you know I know you! A guy who has dated several women, doesn’t stop being like this overnight because of a single girl…

– Are you talking about yourself, Dani? Because until recently, before Isabella, you also caught them all, isn’t that interesting?

– It ‘s completely different, I…

– Is it different because Isabella is not my sister? Please Daniel, this speech of yours is extremely ridiculous and tiresome.

– What if it was the opposite? Would you think the same?

– I would give you a vote of confidence!

The conversation would go on, because Dani’s tiresome speech doesn’t leave his mind, and he’s not easy to accept, that is, it would take time. But, it won’t be Dani, Dona Elena, Pedro, Amália or anyone who will interfere with my relationship with Alana, I won’t allow that! We are interrupted by his father who comes to congratulate me on the call, Dani leaves with a face of few friends, he is not convinced, and he doesn’t like to see me with his sister, it hurts me, I always thought we were friends and that he trusted me. I see that I was wrong.

Alana

The fear I felt dissipated a little when Raúl had an enlightening conversation with my mother, but when she invited me up, I felt a tension between us, and each step I took that feeling increased. When I finally arrive at the front of the hall and walk towards my room, she does the same, turning the knob and walking inside. Before she starts, I head to the closet, after all, I need to pack my things to travel with my boyfriend!

– Alana, we need to have a serious talk! I swallow hard when I hear that. I turn to look at her. – I can’t stop you from dating Raúl, and I’m giving him a vote of confidence, but something else worries me!

– What?

– Have you ever had sex? I can’t believe she’s asking me that!

– Oh mom, what a question!

– Answer me!

– Already. I answer, and she approaches me. Touch my face tenderly.

– Daughter, but you started dating the other day! My goodness, so soon?

– I know we just started dating, but our relationship is intense…

– Hope you’re using a condom! I don’t want to be a grandma anytime soon, are you protecting yourself?

– Mom, what a question… – I walk away, I’m ashamed to say something like that to my mother, even though I’m an obstetrician, she’s my mother, and we never had an open conversation about sex, contraceptives, or things like that . – We always use condoms, don’t worry. And there’s one thing… I’m going to travel with Raúl tomorrow, and…

[…]

My mother didn’t seem too happy with the news of the trip, but she didn’t forbid me. I thought she was going to have a heart attack when I found out that Raúl and I had sex, I feel a lightness, telling her made me feel calm. The warm water of the pool makes me even lighter. I watch him enter the pool, and I feel stupid for the time I’ve wasted. How handsome he is! He approaches me, the pool is thermal, but it wouldn’t need to be, the heat that settles in me can protect me from the temperature outside the pool. He stares at me, and I need to mask my unease. Swimming is the solution. He also does the same. We squirted water from one to the other. I continue my activity, and Raúl does the same. It doesn’t take long, I get tired, stop, and lean against the edge of the pool.

Raúl approaches slowly, looks at me and bites his lip, I smile. And just as I suspected, he wants something more, grabs me by the waist, and puts his lips on mine, his kiss is sweet, affectionate. His hands squeeze my waist, I shiver, mine wrap around his neck, and our kiss gets intense, he squeezes my ass, and lifts one of my legs, I realize what he wants and I wrap both around his hips and I feel the hardness of his member. He continues to think little, and he places his hand on the top of my bikini, and lightly caresses my nipple, and it makes me ecstatic, we’re at the pool and his family is home. I break the kiss, take my legs off his hips, and face him.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

– Raúl, what are you doing?

– I’m enjoying my girlfriend by the pool, can’t I? – asks with a mischievous smile.

– It’s not funny, your family is home!

– All right, baby! I’m sorry, sometimes I lose control when I’m around you…

I grab the robe, a towel and head towards the bedroom, not looking back. I go into the room looking for a comb, while I am digging through my bag that is on top of the armchair, I hear Raúl’s voice talking to someone on the phone. I turn around, look in his direction, he says goodbye to the person he’s talking to on the phone, and I ask.

– Who was?

– curious! – He answers, approaches me, wraps his hands around my waist, and continues the conversation. – Why did you run away from me?

– I didn’t run away from you, I just stopped because I would die of embarrassment once again if someone surprised us, since we started dating there’s always someone who does that, and it’s annoying!

– You are right. Now, to answer your question, it was Tomás inviting us to a nightclub…

– Is there going to be a party?

– Actually it’s a celebration for the classification, everyone goes with their girlfriends and wives, anyway, I’m not really in the mood to go out, we’re going away tomorrow, and we could stay here and watch a movie… or something like that, and…

– Stay here in this room to watch a movie? I know what kind of movie you want to watch!

– Like this?

– Ah Raúl, of course we’re not going to watch a movie! By the pool you were already too excited for those who want to stay at home and watch a movie, don’t you think? – He looks at me with a very naughty smile, and answers my question.

– Do you think I can’t resist you, cariño? Of course I can, it remains to be seen if you can resist me!

– Are you challenging me, quarterback?

– I? Imagine… I’m just telling you that I can resist you, Miss Garcia!

– I can resist you!

He continues to hold my waist, and his hands slide down my hips, his gaze is so penetrating, I feel lost in a cave full of emeralds, which shine with such intensity. One of his hands caresses my face, bites my lip and looks intently at my mouth. He gets closer, glues his body next to mine, I close my eyes and I even forget that he might be challenging me, I just want to feel his mouth. I wait for the kiss, and I just feel his breath next to my ear, I hear his voice in a mocking tone.

– I told you, and it seems you can’t resist, cariño! – He says, lets out a laugh that spreads through the room, and leaves me there looking dizzy.

Ah, Raúl, You pay me for this! I’ll prove to you that you can’t resist me.
