Raquel kissed to Paula goodnight and came into the bedroom. Holding her waist, she approached Sergio who was reading in bed, and slowly sat down on the other side of the bed. Sergio put down the book in his lap.
- Are you okay?
- The baby is getting heavier, my love. My back hurts when I stand for a long time.
Sergio smiled, laid the book in his hand on the next table. He got behind his wife, started massaging her shoulders. Raquel looked up and smiled at Sergio.
- Is this better?
- Thank you very much. I see you are very good at this, Mr. Marquina.
- You are raising our baby inside. This miracle must of course be tiring. If necessary, I will gladly massage you every evening. I want to help you.
- It is enough for me to be with me, my love.
- I wish I could do more.
- You never know how even holding my hand helps me.
Sergio gave his wife a nice massage.
- I guess that's enough Sergio, thank you.
She gave a long kiss of thanks to his lips. Sergio put her gently on the bed. His hands were starting to caress her hips from under her nightgown;
- Darling!
- My lovee
- Sergio, just a minute.
- What happened?
Sergio stared at her with confused eyes.
- Strawberry!
- ¿Perdón?
- Darling, I know it's not the time now, but our son suddenly wanted too many strawberries.
Sergio sat up.
- Strawberry?
Raquel nodded in all her sweetness and grabbed her belly.
- Cariño, it is too late, it is impossible for me to go to the center and find open greengrocers.
- Please Sergio! I feel like I'm going to go crazy if I don't really eat. As if I can smell it. I want so much, please.
Sergio looked at his wife, who insisted like a child. It was impossible to say no to her. Raquel, who perceives a brief silence as no:
- Okey, anyway. You're right, we'll see in the morning. Let's sleep.
Sergio kissed his wife's stomach.
- So my son wanted strawberries. This is the first thing he wants from his father, I can't say no. My dear, I will go to the city center and look. Okay?
''Cariño, really?'' Raquel said with joy.
- Uh huh.
But as Sergio prepared, Raquel felt guilty.
- Sergio look, now I thought, I guess we can wait until morning.
- No my love, I'm going.
- There is really no need. We can get something to eat from the kitchen. You will try very hard.
- Worth it for both of you.
He put a kiss on her forehead, '"It's not easy being a dad," he said, and came out with a smile. He went to the center, but of course there was no open greengrocer. He called one of his men in the city center and woke him up. The voice on the phone opening with concern:
- Professor, is there a problem?
- We need to find strawberries!
- Strawberry?
- Yes, strawberry.
- Now?
- Yeah, right now
The voice on the phone was a close man of the professor. He was in charge of informing him of possible dangers at the center. He had come to their house before and he knew Raquel was pregnant. He realized what was happening and laughed quietly.
- Yes?
- Okay, Professor, don't worry, I'm coming right now, we'll handle it.
The man soon appeared at the door. The professor never thought he would use his gang to find strawberries for his pregnant wife. They tried to reach the owners of several grocery stores. Finally, on the 3rd attempt, they reached the grocery store and the man opened the shop for them at night. Sergio bought a bunch of strawberries, and just in case, other fruits. He gave a large sum of money to the owner of the grocery store.
- Sorry, we got you up at this hour.
- No problem. I guess your spouse is pregnant.
The greengrocer laughed. He looked at his man, Sergio was embarrassed.
- Y-yes.
- Is it your first child?
- Yes, so we actually have a daughter, though. Anyway, thank you.
- Congratulations.
Sergio thanked him with his head.
When they walk away from there the man;
- Congratulations, too, professor.
"Thank you," he said shyly.
- Is there anything else?
- No, thank you for your help. Let me know if there is any improvement.
- OK. I'm here whenever you want.
Sergio immediately drove home. It was quite late. With the joy of finding what she wanted, he washed the fruits and went into the room, but Raquel was already asleep. He smiled when he saw that she was sleeping. He didn't want to wake her up. She was tired and very beautiful. Quietly placing the plate of fruit on her bedside, he curled up beside her, hugging her affectionately.
---
In the morning, Raquel woke up smelling strawberries on her nose. She opened her eyes and saw the fruit plate. She threw Sergio's arm over excitedly, sat down, put the plate in her lap and began to eat eagerly.
Sergio was awake, he started laughing while watching her. Raquel spoke with her mouth full of strawberries:
- What? Your son wants it!
- Okay, enjoy your meal. But I guess my son likes sleep more than strawberry.
''Sorry my love, I fell asleep at night'' She said with guilt as she swallowed the bite in her mouth.
''You will forgive yourself now'' he said suggestively.
- Hmm how is it?
Sergio took a strawberry and plucked the leaf. He put the strawberry between his wife's lips, especially touching the parts outside of her mouth, biting himself from her mouth. Raquel smiled with pleasure as she swallowed the strawberry in her mouth.
- ¿Te gustó?
- Muy bien!
The strawberry smeared her lip. Sergio approached her face, wiped the corner of her lip with his thumb, then grabbed her chin and brought it closer to him, and kissed her strawberry lips long.
- This is the best strawberry I've ever eaten!
Raquel giggled. "Me too"
Paula and Marivi's voices were coming from inside, they were awakened.
Raquel: We have to go inside, Paula will come here soon. We don't have time.
Sergio was still staring at her with admiration.
- Uh huh. But the your punishment is not over yet.
As Raquel got up, she turned to Sergio:
- Greater punishment than for tying me from my arms to the ceiling?
- At least as beautiful.
- Hmm .. Estoy contigo
Raquel winked and left the room. Sergio was really in love with this woman!
