Anime gemelle - ENG

5.

When Maya arrived the place was packed, she barely made her way through the crowd waiting to enter when she heard someone calling her name from inside. She could see Andrea in the distance approaching to talk to the security guard, allowing Maya to enter the place.

- Maya, I'm glad you're here. Let's go, Carina is waiting for us.

Andrea led Maya to one of the tables away from the crowd. As they approached Maya noticed Carina sitting on a small couch, she was wearing a tight leather skirt, with a black high neck crop top and heeled booties. Maya looked at her from head to toe, admiring every detail of the Italian's outfit. Carina feeling the blonde's gaze on her, couldn't help blushing and repeating the same gesture, admiring each of Maya's curves, who was wearing a tight blue dress that highlighted even more the color of her eyes.

- Ciao bella! Carina greeted Maya with a huge smile.

- Hi, you look amazing. Maya's comment caused Carina to blush even more, which she tried to hide by turning her face slightly and moving a little so Maya could sit next to her.

- I hope you like the place Maya, it's one of our favorites. Andrea interrupted.

- Yeah, it looks great, do you guys come here often?

- Yeah, we kind of do. Carina and I sometimes have a little competition and this place is perfect for that.

- Andrea, stop it! Carina interrupted, since she knew what competition Andrea was referring to.

- What's the matter, are you embarrassed that Maya knows you always beat me?

- Ok, now I need to know what you're talking about. This time it was Maya who interrupted the conversation.

- Don't listen to him, it's no big deal. We just compete sometimes to see who can get the most people, the one who gets the most phone numbers wins and the loser pays for the drinks and buys lunch the next day. Carina explained, trying not to make a big deal out of it.

- You see, Carina always beats me. But it's because she has an advantage, you know she goes around with her perfect smile conquering boys and girls wherever she goes.

- I want to participate. Maya added, taking the siblings by surprise.

- What? Of course not. Said Carina as she took a sip of her drink.

- You're afraid I'll beat you. Commented Maya defiantly with a flirtatious smile that completely undermined Carina.

- You have too much confidence in yourself Bishop. Said Carina imitating the same challenging tone.

- I told you I was good at a lot of things.

- Prove it then.

- Okay. I'll even deal with boys and girls to make it fairer.

- I thought you were not into girls.

- Maybe I changed my mind. This last sentence she said accompanied by a wink left Carina speechless. She didn't know if Maya was being serious or if it was just her competitive side coming out.

- All right, all right. Then let's play, whoever gets the most phone numbers in half an hour wins. Andrea interrupted when he saw that Carina had frozen.

- Deal. They both said at the same time as they stared into each other's eyes and shook hands as if closing a deal.

After finishing the drinks they had already ordered the girls and Andrea got down to business. Andrea went his own way and put his charms to work, while Maya and Carina kept their eyes on each other. Watching as the other smiled and flirted with someone different, they felt a squeeze in their chests and couldn't help but monitor each other's every move. In one of those Carina watched as Maya approached another girl, tall, brown-haired, who wouldn't take her eyes off the blonde. The scene took her completely out of the game, she was unable to do anything else but watch Maya's moves. After a few minutes she saw how the girl walked away and decided to approach Maya.

- Are you having fun? She's pretty. Said Carina approaching from behind, as she watched the other girl walk away.

- Yes, she is. But no prettier than you.

- Relax Bishop, you already have my number and I'm not part of the game.

- Don't be silly, I already know that. She said giving her a little tap on the shoulder.

- Ouch! That hurt.

- Don't exaggerate, I barely touched you. Said Maya as she reached over to rub his shoulder gently.

They both stood there staring at each other without saying anything, while Maya gently ran her hand over Carina's shoulder. Little by little the distance between them became shorter and their gazes deeper. Maya moved a little closer and gently brought her hand up to tuck a lock of Carina's hair behind her ear, sending shivers down Carina's spine. They were so close they could feel their breaths, which were getting faster and faster.

- Hey! Time's up, it's time for the final countdown. How many did you get? Andrea said, causing both of them to jump in fright and quickly move away.

- I only got 3, but it's your sister's fault. She distracted me.

- Hey! She said giving her a little push. - I got 3 too, Maya and her beautiful blue eyes were to blame.

- I can't believe it! Are you serious? That means that for the first time I beat the invincible Carina DeLuca. That's something to celebrate. Andrea said excitedly as he approached the bar for some shots.

The three of them celebrated Andrea's victory by drinking shots and then went to the dance floor. They were all happily dancing together until a guy approached Carina and asked her to dance, Carina accepted and started dancing with the guy who looked quite interested in keeping Carina close. Maya on the other hand was a mess, she couldn't take her eyes off Carina and got annoyed every time the guy brushed her waist, held her hand or got closer to her. Andrea noticed the change in Maya's attitude and couldn't help but tell her what he had been thinking all night.

- You like her, don't you? When she heard that Maya froze, the question took her by surprise and she didn't know what to answer. - She's an amazing girl, you know? I haven't seen her this happy in a long time. I think you do her good and if you like her you should tell her, don't let anyone steal the girl from you.

They both shared a smile and Andrea decided to go to the bar to get something to drink, leaving Maya to her thoughts. Andrea was right, Carina was an amazing and beautiful girl and she couldn't deny that she was also happier when they were together. Those few days she had been in Italy had been enough to create a connection she hadn't felt with anyone for years and she wasn't about to let it go. So she gathered all the courage she needed, went to where Carina was and grabbed her by the waist pulling her away from the guy.

- I'm sure you're not a bad dancer, but I'm going to steal her for the rest of the night. She said to the guy who walked away rather annoyed.

- What are you doing? I think he got upset.

- He's going to be fine. And you, are you upset that he left?

- Of course not, I'd rather dance with you a thousand times bella.

- That's great! Because I'd rather do it too. She said taking her by the waist and bringing her closer until their foreheads joined and they both moved to the rhythm of the music.

They stayed like that for a while, eyes closed, saying nothing, just enjoying being together, until Maya decided it was time, now or never. Slowly she moved her forehead away from Carina's, causing Carina's eyes to widen from the lack of contact. She ran her hand slowly over her face, tracing her jaw until she gently brushed her lips with her thumb. Carina was in a trance, she couldn't take her eyes off Maya's blue eyes that looked at her with such intensity. The little distance that separated them slowly shortened until the moment they had so longed for arrived, their lips brushed in a soft and tender kiss, which gradually gained intensity until they were both breathless.

- Wow! They both said at the same time, as they pulled their faces away and couldn't help but smile.

- I've been dying to do that since I saw you for the first time. Maya added as she caressed Carina's cheek.

- But I thought... you said you weren't attracted to women.

- I said I thought I wasn't. Besides, that was before I met the most beautiful, perfect Italian woman who makes my day just by looking at that smile.

Carina could only let out a silly giggle, as she held Maya's face with both hands to bring their lips together again in another soft kiss that conveyed all her feelings for Maya.
