Episode 20

_Markus, please come with me " my little one pleads.

_I already told you no. " I denied for the tenth time.

She gets up angrily, giving me a splendid view. Without a doubt, my sweater looks better on her. But I want to take it off, throw her onto the bed. I need to stop breaking my sweaters, or soon I'll have nothing to wear.

_I'm tired of this confinement. We've been stuck here for three days, you won't let me even go to the kitchen. We just do the same things: eat breakfast and have sex, lunch and have (?), dinner and do it all night long in every corner of the room. We leave nothing to Bettina and the other women of the staff's imagination.

Christine crosses her arms angrily, pouting, and I swear to God that, besides being adorable, she makes me want her again.

_Fine, you win. Let's go to the cinema. " I jump onto her with an evident smile. She looks like a spoiled child, but adorable.

_I'll go take a shower. " I follow her with my gaze, and I can assure you, it sounded like an invitation. I went after her and entered the shower, where I made Christine mine again. She has become like a drug, I am addicted to her kisses, her scent, her body. I desire her with every fiber of my being.

After a few minutes, we dress and are ready to go. I look at her for a few minutes, and she notices.

_What? What's wrong? " I smirk and bring her closer to me.

_You look beautiful. " She blushes and gives me a sweet kiss. I take her hand and we leave the house.

We arrive at the cinema, and to be honest, I don't know what to do because I've never been to one before.

_What's wrong, Markus? Why did you stop?

_The truth is, I've never been to a cinema before. I don't know what to do.

She bursts into laughter, and I look at her with a furrowed brow.

_Don't make fun of me.

_It's just funny to me. And how have you watched newly released movies?

_Easy, Netflix.

_Okay, well, over the years, it has been declining due to different platforms that make access to movies easier and more comfortable. It's not the same as watching them at the cinema, it's a unique experience.

_Okay, little one, then show me. What is the first thing I should do?

_Well, the first thing you should do is go to the box office to buy tickets for one of the movies that are playing. Go and choose while I buy the popcorn.

I did what she told me and chose a movie that caught my attention since they released the trailers. And yes, I'm talking about the movie: King Richard, a family of winners.

_I'm a fan of Will Smith, but that one, I don't know, it seems boring to me. I don't like movies like that. Why didn't you choose an action movie? The third Jurassic World movie was also released.

_I don't like that one...

Once we were inside the theater, I noticed many couples embracing and kissing. We wouldn't be an exception. I put my arm around my little one's shoulders and brought her closer to me. She didn't say anything and leaned even closer to me. Now I understand why going to the cinema is often one of the main romantic activities for couples.

After watching the movie for almost two hours, Christine seemed delighted. I think she liked the film. And what can I say about myself? She was right, it's an amazing experience, especially with her by my side.

_Now I understand why it won an Oscar. The movie was truly great, incredible. It delivers a powerful message, and the most impressive part is that it's based on a true story. My little one boasted, and I just listened in total silence, watching those beautiful honey"colored eyes sparkle with excitement. The more time I spend with her, the more I understand the affection her grandpa had for her. Christine is not like other girls I've dated. She's different, humble, fearful, and brave at the same time. She notices even the slightest details in things, no matter how simple they may seem, and gives them great value and meaning.

Since I was very young, my parents have taken me to the cinema. It was one of the few valuable moments I spent with them together, before things got ugly. Everything was wonderful; I could say I had the best dad in the world. We always went to the park, traveled for camping trips or to the beach. He was a lot of fun. However, the pressure of debts and the desperation of not finding a solution began to affect him and he started mistreating mom. After that, it was up to me to take care of my sisters, and we had a great time.

I found it amusing to know that Markus had never been to the cinema before. I set out to make it an unforgettable experience for him, but it ended up being memorable for me. I wasn't convinced by the movie he chose, but I ended up fascinated. I will definitely watch it again. I had never noticed how intimate couples became when the lights went out in the cinema, but what I didn't expect was for Markus and me to become like that. My heart beat repeatedly; it was an inexplicable sensation.

We left the cinema to go back home, or so I thought.

"Where are you taking me, Markus?" I asked.

"Don't be impatient, little one," he replied.

I laughed inside at how he had started calling me recently. He used to call me by a longer name, but now it was just "little one." But he seemed to notice.

"And what's making you laugh?" he asked.

"I was wondering where the opportunist went. That's how you used to call me, right?" I replied.

"Well, you still are one, but I just didn't have a chance to say it," he said.

Annoyed, I moved away from him. How could he still think of me that way? I was about to say a lot of unpleasant things to him when Jackson told us we had arrived. Markus got out of the car and reached out his hand to help me, but I ignored it and walked past him.

However, I stopped abruptly when I saw where we were.

"What are we doing here?" I asked.

"I want to take a walk, let's go," he said.

Just like that, without waiting for my answer, he took my hand to continue. The city's parks are often empty at night, a very familiar place. I have come here many times alone to think. I was surprised that Markus had thought of this. We walked in total silence, observing our surroundings, occasionally looking at the stars that lit up the sky. But even though the moment was beautiful, I felt a bit cold. Until unexpectedly, Markus took off his jacket and put it around me. Our eyes met, and I couldn't look away from him. My heart raced, matching the pace of my rapidly increasing heartbeat.

"Has anyone ever told you that you have beautiful eyes?" he said, and once again, before I could respond, our lips met in a tender kiss filled with emotions. I felt embraced by his arms.

"What have you done to me, Christine?" he said, his breath heavy.

"I don't know!" I replied. He laughed at my response, took my hand again, and we kept walking until we reached the car, where he asked Jackson to drive us back home.

The night didn't end there for us; it became more intense and passionate. Just with Markus kissing and caressing me, I surrendered completely and was ready for him. He was insatiable, but what can I say? I was just as eager.
