They did not notice, and they continued to kiss each other. Then the knock became more insistent, so the girl got out of bed and almost annoyed went to open the door.
"What's with such a hurry?" she said once the handle was turned, but looking up at the "disturbing" face, she saw his eyes, those who had looked at her with so much love, and had made her fall in love. She gasped for a second before she could stutter "C-Colin?"
He stood there looking at her smiling, staring at his beloved blue eyes, in which he got lost each time.
Then he turned as soon as he saw Luca.
"Daddy, what are you doing here?" The boy then asked, amazed, getting out of bed.
"Oh, Luca.. I was looking for.. well.. you.." Colin answered then, taking a look at Chiara.
"But why didn't you call me?"
"Um.. I came in a hurry and I did not have time, but I see you're busy, so.." he started to leave, but the girl grabbed him by the arm.
"No! Stay, stay, you can stay.. I mean.. that we were not doing anything.." She continued, staring at him in disbelief and in love as the first time she had in in front of her.
"You could also tell me that you were a fan of dad ahaha" Luca snickered as he approached the door.
"Ahah yes.." she replied, embarrassed, "do you want to come in?"
Colin looked at her and nodded.
He and Luca started talking as she wandered around the room in alarm. She noticed that Colin always tried to give her looks, without being seen by Luca.
Then suddenly the boy called her saying:
"Daddy, this is Chiara, she's a great friend of mine.." and he put a hand on her back, and then sliding it down, without being seen, on her buttock. She immediately took his hand off annoyed and pretended to introduce herself to Colin. He did the same, too, and as they shook hands, their looks intertwined again, and the girl's heart almost jumped out of her chest. His eyes lit up.
"If you want to I will go get something from the bar, so you talk with your favorite actor, and dad gets to knows my 'friend'."
"Yup!" The two said in unison, so Luca left the room.
They stood for a long minute in silence, looking at each other, a meter away. Then they rushed towards each other and hugged tightly, making their hearts and their souls that were gray before, colored. They looked at each other smiling.
"I missed you," he said softly.
"I missed you too.. so much.." and she kissed him as she had never kissed before, with so much passion that she herself was amazed. A thousand emotions inside them embraced and danced, yes, love was winning again, and this time it would have been strong enough to resist everything. He carried her with her back to the wall, and then began to kiss her neck. It was all so magical, him, her, their kisses. Everything was again as before.
"Excuse me for how I behaved.." She told him, pulling away for a minute, looking down.
"You do not have to apologize, I was an asshole, I'm sorry, you cannot imagine how happy I am to have you here with me now.." Colin replied, raising her face gently with his finger under her chin. She kissed him again, they were insatiable, in love and fucking impossible. When they heard Luca's footsteps approaching the room, they reluctantly moved away from each other, only to pretend they were facing the boy.
"I'm back!" He exclaimed, with three bottles of beer in his hand "we have to celebrate!"
"Luca, I'm sorry but I do not want to drink today." Chiara said as she approached him "put it in my fridge, we'll drink it another moment."
"Me neither my son, you should not do it either.."
"Come on, you act like old people! Let's have a good time!"
Chiara looked at Colin with a mischievous smile on her face. He did the same.
* We had enough fun.. * thought the girl to herself. Luca took two bottles and, annoyed, said he would go downstairs with some friends to be able to drink in peace.
"You will find me in the garden, at least I will not have voices of conscience to break my.."
"Luca, do not even try it!" Colin exclaimed, but he did not have time to finish the sentence that the boy had already left, slamming the door. He sighed resignedly, then turned to Chiara. She smiled at him softly, like a child.
"It always happens to me to feel stupid, think of me, I'm in front of the man I love and I have not told him explicitly, we could have not seen each other again and still I did not." she told him sitting on the windowsill.
Colin gave her a sincere and joyful smile and approached her slowly. She looked at him, from head to toe, his hair disheveled and a black shirt just unbuttoned on his chest. He also looked at her, she was very comfortably dressed, but he found her fascinating anyway. With those wide pants and a black t-shirt slightly tight at breast level. He put his hands on her hips and carried her with a firm movement towards him. They did not kiss, but they looked at each other for a long time and made the colors of their eyes, so different, so beautiful, mix.
"I love you" she whisper in his ear, hesitating for a moment. "I know I'm too little to say certain things, but I feel it, for you."
"I love you too, and I believe much more than you do."
They continued to look at each other for a long time, never tired, without being ashamed. They could have continued for hours. Then came the sleep, the damn sleep that ruined everything.
"Aren't you a little sleepy?" asked Colin shyly in her ear.
"Yes, yes, it's one o'clock and I usually do not go to sleep this late."
They approached the bed together, and since it was a single bed, they laid close to each other and after exchanging a few glances, they fell asleep in each other's arms. They were children, but children who loved each other despite the world that would have stoned them with insults and criticism as soon as they heard about them.
At dawn Colin woke up blinded by a ray of sunshine. He saw Chiara at his side with her long hair disheveled and some tufts covering her face. He moved them away gently, so as not to wake her.
"How beautiful you are," he whispered, caressing her pink cheek. She then opened her eyes still sleepy, then smiled at him.
"Good morning," she murmured stretching, Did you sleep well?"
"Yes, I would say very much so, apart from some football, but for the rest.." he chuckled.
"Oh my god, I did not know I was some kind of bullock while I sleep.."
They laughed together, happy. Colin put his hand behind her head and pulled her closer to him.
"I love you, remember it." And he kissed her delicadly first on the forehead, then on the cheeks and finally on the soft lips, which was waiting for nothing but him. There was silence around them, and there were only a few little birds in the morning to mark the rhythm of their kisses. They continued for infinite minutes, and they savored them all fully. The sun was up and Chiara had to detach herself from Colin.
"I have to go to class.. unfortunately.." she said stroking his face.
"No, please do not go.."
"Colin, I have to!" she sat down on the bed laughing. He, who was still lying on the bed, put a hand on her arm and she slowly came down.
"Kiss me." He whispered.
She did not resist, so she approached him and gave him more love. They were savoring it with so much passion that they did not hear the door open.
