"Believe In Us"

Chapter 6.

LUCIA P.O.V
That night inside my body a battle was fought.
On my face no one noticed that,luckily.
I was sitting there, with Marco. I enjoyed in his company like every time .
But my thoughts were with him- James.
He didn't recognize me .
At one side that was good, but other side telling me that he ever loved me as I loved him , he will recognize me under all the masks.
I changed completely myself, sometimes I can't recognize myself too, thanks to him. And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through,how you managed to survive.
You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over.
But one thing is certain.
When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in.

Marco and I were sitting in my house while Sara and Isco went to the room , we all know why- they have a need.
"I hope you enjoyed tonight" he said and drank his whiskey.
"Yes I am , I hope you enjoyed too" I replied and he smiled on me.
"It's hard not to enjoy it when you are there next to me " he said.
He is really gentle, and cute. I smiled on him.
"One more glass?" I asked him and he nodded his head. I poured whiskey in his glass and white wine in my glass.
We were both drunk a bit,but that didn't stop us from continuing.
"How long you will stay in Madrid?" He asked me.
"I don't know , I don't plan to leave" I said and remembered that now James is in Madrid too.
"Good" he said and smiled looking at the floor.
"Why are you asking that? If I may know" I asked him and searching for his eyes with my eyes.
" I'm just curious" he say and looked at my eyes directly.
Something in his eyes hypnotizes me, something in his look attracted me.
I looked him deep in the eyes, and I could feel how is my body approaches his.
His gaze landed on my lips and his head came close to mine.
Our eyes connected again , he is so sexy.
Millimeters separated us.
His lips moved closer to mine.
I felt his breath on my lips, his soft lips landed on mine.
"Here we are " I heard Sara's voice how approaches to room. He left short kiss on my lips and we separated, still looking each other.
"Are everything alright?" She asked and Isco came after her.
"Are you guys having fun?" Isco asked.
"Of course we do" Marco answered because I was still in shock.

Alcohol is not the answer it just makes you forget the question. First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you. Maybe I surrendered to wine, that is maybe the answer for question which one did you all want to ask.
Alcohol makes you to forget everything.
Alcohol makes everything better until it makes everything worse.

"Look Lucia , I didn't want to..." Marco started...
"It's okay Marco , we did it, actually maybe wine and whiskey started it" I said and we started laughing.
"We are still good?" He asked curiously.
"Yeah, we are the best"
He came closer to me and I feel his hot breath on my cheek and I wanted to kiss him in his cheek to.
And in that moment he turned his head to kiss my cheek and we did it again.
We pressed our lips when the control is carried out.
It was a rush of passion, his soft lips were investigating mine. He is a really good kisser.
"Marco let's go, what are you doing?" Isco asked and entered into the room and he stayed in shock.
"I will just leave, don't worry Marco ,I'm waiting " he said and disappeared .
"I'm sorry" Marco said when his hand was on his neck..
"It's okay it's my fault too, sorry"
"I have to go " he said and kiss my cheek.
"Marco" I started and he turned around.
"Make sure that Isco won't tell anyone" I said.
"Don't worry, he won't" he said and leave. Sara will lock the door because she sleeping in my place tonight.
And when I was alone then I realized what just happened.
"You stupid" I told to myself.
"I fucked up!" I continued to talk with myself.
"You need someone to talk with?" Sara appeared at the door.
" I am a fool! I have to ruin everything " I said.
"Why ?" She asked.
"I don't want to hurt him"
"Marco? Why would you hurt him?" Again she asked me.
" I am not for relationship anymore Sara, I can't be with someone , I feels like I have some shadow behind me... now he is here ,how can I be with someone when I know he is here "
"Lu you don't have 50 years. You are young, Marco is good guy. He is gentle , he had a hard life... he searching for the same thing as you do!" She said.
"What I am searching for?"
"Love babe"
After this sentence I didn't know what to say. Perhaps she have right. I need someone, after all this years. I don't need to wait for James anymore. He has a wife, he continued to live without me. I know it's easy to say but it's hard to do that.

That night change Lucia's life. Maybe because she tasted a new lips.
And she saw him again , happy with other woman.
That night Lucia cried a river. But just because of that she wanted so much to stop dreaming about her and James.
