IN WHICH ruben and bella enjoy their vacation
THE GREEK SUN was high in the sky, casting a warm glow over the turquoise waters surrounding their small private boat. rúben and bella had escaped to this quiet corner of greece, craving time alone, away from the constant attention that came with his career in football. today was meant to be a day for just the two of them. no crowds, no cameras, just the serenity of the sea and each other.
rúben reclined back on the boat's deck, watching bella as she playfully dipped her toes in the water. her laughter was light and carefree, matching the soft ripple of waves against the boat's sides. he couldn't help but smile, his eyes tracing the curve of her form in her white bikini. the 5 year old younger woman looked effortlessly beautiful, her skin glowing under the sun, her long brown hair framing her face in a way that made him want to capture every moment of this perfect day.
"come on, rúben!" bella called out, splashing the water playfully. she had a mischievous glint in her eye, the kind that always made him want to pull her close and kiss her until they forgot about everything else.
he grinned, feeling a surge of affection mixed with a familiar tug of protectiveness. without another word, he slipped into the water, the coolness but refreshing contrast to the heat of the day. bella was already floating close, waiting for him, and as he reached her, he wrapped his arms around her waist, drawing her against him.
they drifted together, his hands settling around her hips, guiding her as they moved with the gentle flow of the sea. bella's hands rested over his broad shoulders, her fingers tracing light, invisible patterns over his skin. he pulled her a little closer, letting one hand slip lower, resting on her, holding her protectively, possessively. she tilted her head back slightly, giving him a small, inviting smile before leaning in to kiss him.
the kiss was soft at first, almost playful, but it deepened quickly, with a kind of sweetness only the two of them shared. their world narrowed to that moment, the sounds of the waves and the warmth of each other's touch all that mattered. rúben let himself get lost in the sensation, savoring every second, his thumb brushing over her skin in gentle circles as they kissed.
they stayed wrapped in each other's arms for a while, letting the gentle sway of the sea guide them into a comfortable rhythm. bella's laughter filled the air every now and then, especially whenever rúben pulled her a little closer or teasingly whispered something sweet but silly in her ear. he loved that sound, the way she laughed like no one else was listening, joyful and all because of him.
