Married First, Love Later with The CEO Who Secretly Loves Me

Episode 20

💭Bernardo narrating 💭

I couldn't stay in my room for long since I couldn't stop thinking about her all the time, I needed to win Aurora over as quickly as possible, to have her in my arms as I've been desiring for a while.

So, after procrastinating for a few hours, I finally decided to go see her before we went to dinner, to spend some time with her.

She opened the door in that pajama set and with a sleepy face, making her even sexier... so beautiful that I had to control myself. She had something that made me want to kiss her, but I couldn't do that, or I would never have a chance with her.

I commented on her pajamas because if she didn't change quickly, I don't know if I would be able to control myself... She got up and ran towards her suitcase, then went to the bathroom to change, coming back in shorts and a black blouse.

We talked for a bit and as we got closer, I realized she was the perfect girl for me, and I saw that she was less tense, which meant that I would soon have an opening... After I suggested we go out for dinner, she went back to her suitcase to look for an outfit to wear out.

Bernardo: Did you like the clothes I had them buy for you?

I ask as she sits on the floor looking for something to wear.

Aurora: They're not really my style, but thank you for your concern.

Bernardo: And what would your style be? That way I'll know what to buy.

Aurora: Definitely the most basic of basics. A big blouse, jeans, and sneakers or a sweatshirt. I always prioritize comfort...

She seems to pick up a dress and stands up, looking at me with a weak smile.

Bernardo: So you're saying you don't like to dress up much? Not even a little vain?

Aurora: I used to be, but everywhere I went, I was called ridiculous or something derogatory, so I prefer my comfort since they would talk anyway, at least I would be comfortable.

She spoke, but her face showed how sad she was about it.

Bernardo: But who would call you ugly or ridiculous? You are so beautiful, I don't understand...

I really couldn't believe it.

Aurora: Because there's this thing called puberty and then menarche...

She says with a smile and goes to the bathroom to get ready, and I stay there sitting, not understanding what she had said.

Bernardo: I didn't understand anything you said...

Aurora: When I was younger, I wasn't pretty and very skinny... When I entered, if I may say, puberty, I got worse, hahaha, that was in early adolescence. And after I had my first menarche, or menstruation as people know it, let's just say that's when some things started to improve. I gained a little weight, but not enough in some places, my skin got better, but I was already used to being ignored and preferred to continue letting people see me as ugly, because I think I still am, after all...

She was talking from inside the bathroom, and I was paying attention, trying to imagine what all that was like in her past, but that didn't change the fact that today she was so beautiful.

Bernardo: I think I understand, but I don't think you're ugly, and I guarantee that if you try to dress up, you'll realize that you are beautiful and you'll want to see yourself more dressed up.

Aurora: Thank you, "Dad," or Coach, hahaha. You're starting to sound like those gay best friends. Keep it up and we won't have a problem, hahaha.

She says smiling and coming out of the bathroom, and how beautiful she looked in that dress... I sat there on the bed just watching her. It seemed like she had some kind of block about this, but I was happy that she had shared something about her past with me... After a few minutes, Aurora was ready and extremely beautiful, leaving me even more in love. Yes, I was falling for her with every minute I spent close to her... Eduardo was right, with Aurora I would be able to forget everything that had happened to me.

(Imagine Aurora)

(Imagine Bernardo)

Aurora: Shall we go? I am now properly dressed.

Bernardo: For someone who doesn't like to leave their comfort zone, you look very beautiful.

Aurora: But I also wear dresses, and of the clothes you have in your suitcase, this one makes me feel the most comfortable.

She says, approaching me as I would have gotten up and walked towards the door.

Bernardo: Okay, if you say so, I won't argue...let's go then, I'm hungry, hahaha.

We left the room and went to the elevator, and I noticed that Aurora was a little tense.

Bernardo: I won't do that again, don't worry, Aurora...

Aurora: Huh? Oh, right, I know...

I chuckled softly, but I really wanted to do something with her. I was almost taking her back to the room and ripping that dress off.

(...)

We got out of the elevator and went to the car, and I saw that Aurora had sat near the other door, as she always did, wanting to be far away from me, and it was bothering me a lot.

Bernardo: Can you come closer?

I say impulsively, making her look at me, a little startled by the question.

Aurora: Why?

She says awkwardly and fidgets with her hands, a sign that she's nervous.

Bernardo: You seem like you're trying to run away from me all the time.

Aurora: It's not that, I just don't like sitting in the middle...

Bernardo: I understand, so can I sit in the middle, close to you?

Aurora: I think so...

I got close to her, sitting in the middle, and I saw that she became shy, so I remained silent to try to make her feel more at ease... After a few minutes, we arrived at the restaurant since I had chosen one close to the hotel.
