CARL.
I was fifty percent sure she hadn't seen me.
I sat at the farthest table in the restaurant and asked the waiter not to tell her that I had arrived.
I also sent a bottle of beer with him and told her it was on the house. I watched with satisfaction as she drank it because I wanted to test her tastes. I only knew about wine and those energy-provoking her after several glasses. So, I decided to send her some of my beloved drink, not glistening or attached to her finesse and delicacy, I thought. Of course, I needed to know if she liked that kind of drink and if its effervescence suited her.
She didn't reject it, very well! Point for me.
I was pleased to learn that she had reserved the same table where I met her, I couldn't believe it at first. La Napolitana was an exclusive place, but not so much for booking reservations just for couples, unless for some special occasions. Her achievement was something new for me.
I continued watching her for a few minutes, even though I was quite far away. She there in front, and me at back, at deep of this place, somewhat hidden, I must confess.
"Fucking Carl!"
A man's voice jumped out and I closed my eyes for a moment.
I looked at that table and was surprised that I had not heard such an energetic greeting.
"Melendez," I said, standing up and shaking the hand of Melendez, who added a few pats on my arm as he eagerly raised and lowered his grip.
"How is your family? I saw your cousin in her bank a few days ago. I didn't know she was managing now.
"Right, she is." I smiled kindly. Meléndez was a guy in his late sixties, my exclient. "She's also about to get married," I informed him, "that promotion has been good for her."
"What good news! I'll tell Rosa to send a wedding present for her. Your cousin has always been kind to my company and to my wife."
"Well, if you send it like a surprise, I promise not to tell her." I laughed a little, and he did the same.
"What are you up to now, Carl?"
I could have answered him, but I didn't want any more talk. My main objective for the evening was waiting for me and I would be a fool to keep dragging out this.
"Meléndez, if you'll excuse me..."
"Oh, right, of course. Please, go on with your business." We shook hands again. "Visit me at the office. I already have someone to help with my accounts, a nephew of my wife, it's not a bad idea to give the boy a little scare with an inspection."
I smiled openly and shook my head at the ideas that my former client always structured.
I waited for him to walk to his table and I headed towards hers... but there was no one! The woman was nowhere to be seen, her chair was empty.
I froze.
And I almost regretted to proposing her a new encounter in that restaurant without even asking for a fucking phone number.
I began to feel accelerated. Scared.
Quickly, I glanced at the cash register, to the receptionist. The cashier used to fit little bills on a sharp object with a bunch of phone digits written on it, data she demanded from people when they canceled their card purchases. But I gritted my teeth when I remembered that I had paid for Olivia's drink. Damn it! Why the fuck did I ask the waiter to tell her that drink was on the house?
“Is something wrong with your table, sir?", the waiter asked.
"Where did she go?" I pointed urgently to the empty table in front of me.
And I think I spoke a little loudly because the poor guy raised his eyebrows.
"Sir, the young lady..."
"Carl? I'm here!"
I turned around ipso facto and I felt an invisible blow that knocked me to the floor; it was nothing more than the volatile effect of the relief falling on me.
I didn't notice if the waiter stayed a few more minutes or had left, I didn't notice anything else. There she was, straight and happy, with a slight grimace of eyebrows and lips in a half-smile. Her dark brown hair was loose, and her hands were clasped together holding her small purse, which matched in color with her mustard dress. Well made up, simple, and at the same time, bright. And I was sure that if I got close, some exquisite scent would drive me crazy, as it happened at the previous dinner.
"I thought you had left."
"I did... to the bathroom," she explained without the mere pretense of mockery, with that sweet, soft, and slightly husky tone of voice. Spectacular.
I just nodded and stuck my tongue in my gums. I pointed to his table with my head.
"Did you consume anything else? Did you order anything for dinner?" «If she tells me yes, I'll kill myself».
“No, just the beer you gave me."
I stopped.
I couldn't help smiling at her, I didn't expect that.
"The waiter didn't say anything, I guessed it", she said and shrugged her shoulders.
I stared at her for one second.
"Have you saw me?"
She shook her head and furrowed her eyebrows a little. Then I was back in limbo, stunned by her guess. However, I had to react.
"If you have all your things with you, we're leaving."
I took a step towards the exit after telling her that, but she stopped me.
"No. I want to have dinner."
«Fuck. She wants dinner».
A single chuckle escaped by my thought because to please her I would resign myself to waiting.
I swear, I wasn't hungry for food, but like the gentleman I learned to be, I made my way to the table, pulled out the chair for her and after a ‘thank you’ from her mouth, sat down on the other side of the tablecloth full of plates and glasses, objects that seemed to glow with the interest of something curious.
OLIVIA."I thought you were scared.""Why?" he asked quietly between bites of his escalope.I completely regretted ordering a salad. Who eats those straws for dinner? Just me, I guess. «If I ask him to give me a little bit... »Watching that Thermidor meat being devoured by those appetizing teeth, almost made me forget that he expected an answer."Because you thought I was gone. How would you find me?"His fork froze in mid-air."Here." He shrugged."What if I never came here again?""The other night you told me this was one of your favorite restaurants.""What if I moved out of town?"He stopped chewing."Are you planning to travel somewhere?"I stared at him for a moment. I didn't answer him and amused myself with that, knowing he wouldn't demand it of me. So, I continued eating."Is your salad good?""Yes.""Did you like that beer?""Yes. This is my favorite drink."He stopped eating again."I thought it was the wine.""I like it too, but I like beer much more."He froze for a mome
CARL.She was not heavy for me, but she wasn't a feather either.Exploding in front of me, like that, with these vicious movements, brought pounds of excitement to my brain. And that, the excitement, was my responsibility now, I couldn't let it drop.I bit my lips and began to fuck her hard, thus, that's how we started to like it, turning up the heat of having succumbed that first time, the same night we met.Damn, no protection, no shit on me. I didn't even remember her exact words when she assured me she was clean, but I know that I certifying the same. It was the second time we'd met and again, we were doing it like this.We're nuts, we're behaving like mindless beasts. But I wouldn't let her go, not even if somebody held a gun to my head. If I was forced to walk away from that god's delicacy, I'd drag her with me. I liked her very, very, very much.She rested her heels on the bed and propelled herself like a master. I caught her by her waist and she began to bounce, dance, and shi
OLIVIA.I stood behind the wall of the Personnel Department.It was Saturday and very early. The other employees had not arrived.I carried out the tasks that my boss asked me to do: choose the flowers for his girlfriend, buy them, put in the office, over her desk, and wait to receive the delivery that would bring a very exclusive breakfast.I was very sure that my great boss would not be in the building that morning and I thought that this gallantry was a distant congratulation, an apology for not being here, but how wrong I was. The exclusivity of this breakfast was a lingerie kit as a present, attached to the famous meal.And at detail made him not stand idly by, he couldn't bear to send it to her without him being there.So, he arrived after a while, closed the door of his beloved's office, and I, hidden like crazy behind a wall, could hear them and even imagine the exact spot where they were... doing it.Because they were "doing it", yes. They were making love in that office.Str
CARL."You don't look good."I lifted my face to see my cousin after letting out her opinion, while we chewed our lunch, one we shared in her office on a Saturday at noon, something exclusive because the place where she worked.It was already too much that she had to work on weekends, which made me want to keep her company."Totally disaster last night," I told her. "Marc got a nasty allergy and in the hospital, it wasn't particularly nice, you know?""What do you say?" She stopped eating. "But... he's fine? What do you mean allergy with?" My cousin's eyes were quite wide."Yeah, he's fine, don’t worry. They injected him with a powerful anti-allergic, but the damn Insurance, which is bleeding me dry, got shitty and acted with a stupid bureaucracy that almost killed me, I was almost furious.""What...? What?!"I swallowed my piece of bread with meatloaf, wiped my lips with a napkin, and settled better in the chair in front of the desk."The Insurance Card," I counted on my fingers, "ou
OLIVIA.I got dressed, made up, and perfumed. I left the house at the appointed time to arrive on time. I was too excited—as I had never been before—for this meeting with Carl. I was so engined that I completely forgot to call the restaurant and reserve a table.On my way home from work, I was imagining the idea of reserving one of the farthest and most private tables in the place. I wanted to return to the enjoyment that he provoked in me the time we met, where he enveloped me with his body, his hands, and his psyche in the middle of the restaurant, almost in front of everyone. I wanted to live again the risk of being seen, even if we were hiding.I wanted so many things... The itch, the sensation caused by his flattery in the fragmented panorama of danger, that gloomy vision, that delicious nervousness. The truth is that I wanted him in La Napolitana because the place had already been baptized by our ways of living.In the end, however, so much mist made me forget the reservation.B
CARL.I was in the front, she was in the back, I wouldn't her let go.Her hand was glued to mine and she was sweating, maybe it even hurt, I didn't give a damn.I pushed my way through the hustle and bustle and dragged her over the sidewalk without even noticing her shoes. I trotted with her to my car and with a single touch of a button, I opened her door..."Wait."I looked at her with wide eyes."What's up?!"She raised her eyebrows at my shout, let go of my grip and after a few seconds of looking at us, she hid a smile.Olivia stared at the floor. I followed her gaze, but I didn't understand anything. The woman didn't say anything and I almost died."What happened?"Oh, shit.I let out all my breath. I dropped my shoulders and changed my expression. I was going overboard with my desperation."Okay." I approached and spoke to her again, "I'm sorry. What happened?"She wanted to tell me something, but for some reason, nothing came out of her lips."Olivia, if you don't tell me what's
CARL.I heard her gasp, choked and desperate for me to give her some respite, but her voice and my urgency turned me into a headdress, into a damned and pinched madman.I let her lean against my body as I lifted her dress.I unbuckled my belt almost whimpering, because I felt my task was taking too long.I pulled my cock out, grabbed Olivia's thighs, settled them around my hips, pushed the fabric aside and penetrated her hard."Damn it!" I exhaled in anguish.She screamed. She didn't speak, screamed! But with each thrust, I knew that she was liking it as much as I did, especially that barrier of stinging and stretching amalgamated with a damned relief, like a pain that gives pleasure because doesn't end, one of those deceiving because you think find the end of the tunnel when it's not. I practically hit her, I penetrated her nonstop. I dug my fingertips into her back as my assaults peeled her off the wall, put her diagonally, upright, arched, and back to the wall against my palms, whi
OLIVIA.I thought we had died, but the dead people do not breathe, especially not like this.I don't think they (dead people) get tired either, and even less enjoy these precious acts; with all the respect that the afterlife deserves.I hugged Carl, I rubbed his back supporting the weight of his anatomy, sweeping the sweat with my palms, or maybe pouring more. Or maybe soaking that ground with drops that seemed not to dry.I wanted to talk, to tell him everything he had made me feel, but how to do it with my throat closed and tired? I could hardly breathe, Carl took all my breath away."You are absolutely beautiful..." I remembered his words, the way he released them. That man had arrived that night with problems, something had happened in his life before our date and I felt committed to making him forget all the negative. If we were to remain casual, at least as the occasion, I would have to be the good thing.He stood up, got off of me, and giving me a few kisses, lay down next to m
