Episode 16

Ingrid

For me to trust you, you have to be completely honest with me Sebastian.

Sebastian

And I will be, just let me sort all this out and I'll be honest with you, I promise.

Our plates arrive, and I start to eat, but the noises Sebastian makes make me believe he's not doing very well, so much so that a waiter approaches.

Waiter

Do you need help, sir?

Sebastian

Do I need a candle or a flashlight to see the food?

Waiter

I'm sorry, but these are house rules, it's good for you to understand how visually impaired people have to adapt every day.

Sebastian

Great, moral lesson at lunchtime.

Ingrid stifles a smile.

Sebastian

Glad you're having fun.

Ingrid

Quite a lot lol, I'll help you myself, could you move our chairs and our protos closer together?

Waiter

Of course.

She gets up and the waiter moves the chairs closer as she asked, then she sits down and touches Sebastian's arms and hands to help him, her fingertips touch his lips, gently, Sebastian holds Ingrid's hand and kisses the tips of her fingers speaking in a low tone.

Sebastian

I really wish I could see your face right now!

Ingrid

But you can, you can see me the same way I see everyone now.

She takes his hand and brings it up to her face, Sebastian touches her gently, the urge to kiss her is so great that he gets close enough for their lips to touch, but at the last second he pulls away, the change in their breathing is remarkable.

Sebastian

I'm starving.

He says, trying to change the focus.

Ingrid

All right, here, hold it, now take it easy so you don't spill anything.

Sebastian

Thank you.

They have lunch in silence after that, and when they've finished Sebastian pays the bill and they go for a walk, they reach the edge of the beach, it's windy so he takes off his jacket and puts it around his shoulders, Ingrid then puts it on, pulling it against her body to keep warm, Sebastian's perfume tickling her nose.

Ingrid

Thank you, did you know that I like to smell the sea air and hear the waves breaking on the sand.

Sebastian

I think a lot of people like it because it's relaxing.

Ingrid

Yes, but I like it because it's as if nature sings its own melody, without our loud and stressed voices of everyday life, without the noise of traffic, it's as if the sea, the sand and the wind come together and create the perfect melody and that's why it's relaxing.

He listens carefully to every word that comes out of Ingrid's mouth, every gesture that she expresses so naturally. After a long time there, they get up and go home, there's not much to talk about on the way, the silence is also pleasant, when they park Sebastian gets out of the car and opens the door for Ingrid, and does the same thing with the front door, already inside the house he finally speaks.

Sebastian

Did you enjoy today?

Ingrid

Yes, it was a lot of fun, I loved it, thank you for that.

Sebastian

I have fun too, so no need to thank me, you must be tired.

Ingrid

yes, I'll get my headphones, I left them on the sofa.

Ingrid walks over to the sofa and slides her hand all over it, but doesn't find it, so Sebastian goes over to her.

Sebastian

Couldn't find it?

Ingrid

No, Luiza must have taken it and kept it in her room

She turns around too quickly and bumps into Sebastian who is holding her waist, Ingrid raises her face to his.

Sebastian

Do you know how much I want to kiss you?

Ingrid

So why don't you?

He stops himself and seconds before answering, but when he opens his mouth to speak Ingrid says something that surprises him.

Ingrid

It wouldn't be the first time, would it?

Sebastian

What?

Ingrid

You kissed me in the pool, you kissed me right here in this very room.

Sebastian

But how? Did you know from the start? Why didn't you tell me?

Ingrid

Well, I was waiting for you to tell me, since you let me believe the lie, I wanted to understand why, so I waited, but you're too slow, I was going to wait until you told me you kissed me.

Sebastian

You don't trust me yet, I wanted to correct the mistake I made before telling you.

Luiza

Seriously? What if I actually ended up kissing the secretary thinking it was him who kissed me.

Sebastian

That wouldn't happen, I wouldn't allow it.

Luiza

You can't control everything!

Sebastian

But I wish I could, because only then could I fix things.

Luiza

What would you do if you could control everything as you wanted? What do you want to fix so badly?

Sebastian

First? I would go back to that church, to the exact moment I saw you, and do everything differently.

Luiza

Differently? Like not marrying a blind woman.

Sebastian

No, if I had truly seen you that day, just like I see you now, I would have realized how special you are. But in that church, I was the blindest person of all, because otherwise I would have married you with a big smile on my face, would have brought you home, and held you in my arms.

He leans in and touches the sides of Luiza's face, their foreheads almost touching. Luiza feels Sebastian's breath tickling her face in that moment, and she hears his voice becoming slightly deeper, almost like a whisper at times.

Sebastian

I would lay you on my bed, and make you completely mine, and tell you how beautiful, intelligent, and special you are, and how lucky I am to have you.

Finally, their lips meet in a delicate kiss at first, but when his tongue finds its way through Luiza's lips,

Sebastian intensifies the kiss, causing her to sigh. He briefly opens his eyes, guiding her to the couch. His lips return to hers, and now his body subtly gives in to Ingrid's as she embraces him lovingly. Their bodies exude the desire they feel for each other in that moment, a vibration that Ingrid can perfectly sense. She calls out his name amidst the kisses.

Luiza, you should consider translating the paragraph from Portuguese to English instead of rewriting it. Here's the translated version of the paragraph:

Sebastian intensifies the kiss, making her sigh. He briefly opens his eyes, guiding her to the couch. His lips return to hers, and now his body subtly yields to Ingrid's as she embraces him affectionately. Their bodies emanate all the desire they feel for each other in that moment, a vibration that can be perfectly felt by Ingrid, who calls out his name between kisses.
