The First Day Of The Rest Of My Life

Chapter 18

A few days after their reunion, the extended Easter weekend had taken place. A week before, they hadn't known whether this day would actually take place, but what had bothered them hadn't been the fact that everything had been paid for, but the fact that they were «no longer together».

They hadn't gone very far, as they only had four days. They'd opted for a sunny spot. San Diego. They could have gone to Los Angeles, but the idea was also not to go somewhere the blonde knew by heart, although to be honest, they'd taken a beachfront hotel with a pool, and Carina's schedule consisted mainly of going from their bed, to the pool, to their bed, to the beach, to their bed and so on. 

Maya had told her team that she was going to spend Easter with her parents, even though she had been in Los Angeles a few days earlier for «the sale of her apartment». Carina, for her part, was going away for an extended weekend with the love of her life. 

Vic, among others, had offered to drop the Italian off at the airport, just because she wanted to meet the famous stranger, but the brunette had taken the parking lot on the spot. 

So they went together for their flight. They sat in the terminal waiting to board.

-"The last time I was in an airport terminal... It wasn't that long ago... And... I realized I was the stupidest woman in the world..." 

She had seen the brunette frown with incomprehension.

"I was talking to Vic and she said something like «did you see Carina's declaration of love» and like...."

- "like you had blocked me..."

- "yeah right... As I had blocked you... I hadn't seen, so I went to your profile and saw that you'd deleted a third of your photos, that you'd... And there was... This picture... Wow.... Super intimate of me... By the way, didn't you have any other photos?!"

-"I love this photo... It's so sexy, perfectly you... On the others there's your belly or your face... I wasn't going to «post» you without your consent... And if I didn't get you pregnant... I'd like to give birth to you and if I'm your girlfriend, I can't be your obstetrician..."

Maya had moved closer to speak against her lips.

- "You do know that there's no way you're giving birth to me?!"

- "what?! Why?"

- "I don't want to kill my sex life because you'll have seen my perineum get torn, or a human being come out of my body, or worse see me defecate on myself, it's out of the question..."

- "but bambina! This is what I do for a living, and do you really think these things are going to put me off making love to you? Don't you think that, on the contrary, this will be the most intimate thing we could share?" For this last question, Carina had come to speak in Maya's ear, running her teeth over her contour. 

-"I'd rather not... To... To find out..."

- "bambina... Believe me... It would take a lot more than that for me to stop wanting you... I don't even think that's possible... And so, to get back to this photo... I'm putting myself on display too"

- "a hickey... Not your crotch"

- "believe me, I've got pictures of your crotch a lot more undressed than that"

- "what?!"

- "I can't help it if you're too sexy..." Carina whispered in her ear. 

"I probably should have posted the one where we're naked in bed after making love and we're kissing and your hand is on her breast.... After all, your hand hides my breast, my breast hides yours..."
