Play like a culé: A Cristian Tello Fan Fic

Chapter 14

Cristian's P.O.V.

Finding Álvaro and María's friend dancing, she directed me to that area and started moving to the beat, putting her arms up and swaying her hips. I didn't know where to put my hands on her body because they wanted to be everywhere. I could only stare at her as she turned and laughed, seemingly having the time of her life. I smiled back at her because her joy was contagious.

She finally took my hands from their awkward position right beside my body and lay them on her hips. She put her own hands on my shoulders and her lips against my ear: "Dance with me." Her hips had a life of their own under my hands and I could only try to sway to the beat. I laugh and look down in shame because she's a much better dancer than me. She places her hand on my cheek and makes me look into her eyes. She smiles broadly and nods, encouraging me. "Just let go!" She screams over the music and starts swaying her whole body from side to side while sliding down my body and touching everything in the process. She makes me bite my lip as she comes back up and turns around. She presses her back against me and puts my hands right on her pelvis.

I can barely concentrate on anything else besides the buzz from the beer and this unbelievable woman grinding her body rhythmically against mine. I did notice Álvaro holding Ale the same way, though. They're swaying to the beat and seem to be having a great time. I decide to take her advice and let loose. I pull her even closer to me and start following her moves. She lifts one hand and runs her hand through my hair and then my cheek as she looks up at me. I take the opportunity to dip my head and press my lips lightly against hers, our bodies halting their movement altogether.

She smiles and, as if on cue, the song ends. Now I feel in control so I take her hand and pull her back to the bar. A beer sounds amazing right about now.

María's P.O.V.

It was probably the alcohol playing tricks on me on that dance floor but I just went with it and danced all over him. He seemed to be ashamed by his lack of moves but he had gotten pretty good close to the end. He was now pulling me toward the bar again. In general I felt fine, just a small buzz from the first drink, so when he asked: "Another round?", I nodded. A second blue-colored drink was handed to me, another beer for him. He sat on an available barstool and I stood facing him, in between his legs. His free hand is resting on the small of my back, almost on my ass, and I loved it. I put my free hand on his shoulder and coolly sipped my drink.

Cristian was looking behind me and lifted his beer, as if offering one to someone. He turned around toward the bartender and ordered two more. Before I knew it, someone was touching my shoulder so I faced them. It was Ale and she put her lips close to my ear. "I'm having the time of my life. Álvarito is amazing. Thank you so much." I smiled at her and, before I could answer, Álvaro took both beers Cristian had just paid for and handed one to her. She smiled at him and took it, taking a swig before craning her neck so I could talk to her. "I saw you two dancing away over there. Seems like you're hitting it off." "We really are." Again before I can add anything, Álvaro pulls her toward the barstool beside us and she stands facing away from him, in between his legs her body pressed against his. He whispers something to her, they both smile and he kisses her cheek. I am so happy for her.

Suddenly, Cristian wraps his arm completely around my lower back and pulls me to him, forcing me to direct my attention to him once again. "You're incredible." He says over the music. I shrug and sip my drink once again, feeling cool. He takes a long swig from his beer and sets it down on the bar. He takes my drink from me even when I'm not done and directs me back to the dance floor. The buzz is a little stronger now as I smile all the way to the multitude of dancing bodies.

Cristian's P.O.V.

I take her back to the dance floor because it seems as though she enjoys it so much. She seems a bit more tipsy as I direct us toward where Marc is dancing with that girl he just met and we all danced together. Later, Ale and Álvaro joined us and we were all dancing in a circle, the hours flying by.

María's P.O.V.

By 12:30AM, I had three drinks in me and I was no longer wearing my pumps. The DJ slowed it down and put on a ballad. Cristian pulled me to him and I put my bare feet on top of his shoes. We wrapped our arms around each other and he swayed us to the music. I momentarily open my eyes to see Álvaro and Ale wrapped in each other's arms. I was interested in their exchange so I kept looking.

They smiled at each other and she blushed, looking down. He took her chin between his fingers and lifted her face. She was still wearing his glasses so he put them on her head, bent down and pressed his lips against hers ever so slightly. The kiss was short but looked so sweet from where I stood. I loved them together. Almost as much as I loved being swayed around the dance floor of a club in Lloret del Mar, Barcelona in the arms of this man... A while more of dancing and we exited the club. I carried my shoes in my hand as I held Cristian's with the other one.

As we were approaching the parking lot, a few steps in front of us, Ale and Álvaro were walking hand-in-hand to his car or so I assumed. "I'm guessing she won't need a ride back." Whispered Cristian. "I'm pretty sure she's taken care of." They stop at a white, sport Audi and he opens the door for her, confirming our suspicions.

As we approach Cristian's car, I'm feeling the full effects of the alcohol. My head hurts, everything looks blurry and I can't seem to be able to walk straight. Three drinks isn't much but it obviously takes its toll on someone who's never had more than one glass of wine. "You okay?" Cristian asks worriedly after opening the car door for me. "Yeah. Just sleepy, that's all." I shrug it off and strap myself in. I fall asleep as soon as he starts the engine.
