Not enough (Fermín López)

Chapter 29

The summer holidays looked different for Fermín and Lorena. She had a longer break between the end of uni and the beginning of the next year. Fermín didn't really get as many weeks off because of preseason, so he wanted to make the most out of that free time.

"So we can go with the boys first, and then I've booked us a mystery holiday. But you'll love it. I'm such a good boyfriend that listens to everything you say and so I found the perfect place for us to go to...".

Fermín had gone to visit Lorena at her aunt's house now she had moved there and was lying on her bed while telling her about his plans. But Lorena wasn't convinced by them.

"I'm not going to go with you".

"What do you mean?"

"To the boys vacation. It's...well, a boys vacation. Last I checked I was still a girl".

"But I don't want to be away from you. And they love you, they wouldn't mind...".

"Fer", she said, sitting down next to him. "They wouldn't mind but also they would. It's a time you spend together every year and look forward to it. I don't want to impose myself there, even if I know they would accept it. Plus, it's just a week. I can survive being away from you for one week".

"I can't", said Fermín, holding his chest with his hands and pretending to faint. "It's too long without your kisses. Without seeing your beautiful face...".

"I'll send you photos".

"What type of photos?"

Fermín tackled Lorena and started to leave kisses on her neck, which made her giggle.

"Can I do anything to make you change your mind?"

"No", she said. "Honestly, it's the right option. You go and have fun with the boys and then we can go on a cute romantic trip".

"I'll miss you so much and you seem so ok about this. Won't you miss me?"

"A little", she giggled. "Will you send me photos too?"

"Every day".

Lorena forgot what she was doing once she was lying down next to Fermín, kissing him and making up for lost time since they hadn't seen each other for a couple of days. When they stopped kissing, she kept looking at him and playing with his hair.

"You know? You're the first blonde boy I like".

"What?"

"I've never really been into blondes. I don't know. Nothing personal".

"I feel a bit offended", he said, pretending to be hurt by her comment but Lorena could tell he was joking. "Will you tell me now you've never really been into guys from the South of Spain?"

"Stop it", she laughed.

"No, I won't", he said, getting up and walking towards the door backwards. "I might have to leave soon before you tell me how you've never really been into very sexy football players with insane talent...".

"I still haven't met one of those so I wouldn't be able to tell you".

"You're going to pay for that".

Fermín walked back to the bed to start tickling Lorena. She wasn't particularly ticklish, thankfully. But she still laughed at his silly, but very cute, reaction.

"Shouldn't you feel special about me liking you?"

"I'm not even that blonde now. It's gotten very dark".

"I love your hair", she said, running her hands through it again. "And I love you".

"First blonde guy you've ever loved?"
