Chapter 22. The Call.

By Lina.

We have been in Spain for a week, more precisely in Madrid, things are not so bad, our marriage is stable, today is January 6, in Mexico it would be Rosca de Reyes, so tonight Carlos will bring bread to the apartment and I'll make a pot of coffee that I buy before we come.

My family said goodbye to us at the airport along with my in-laws, brothers-in-law and friends, we agreed that they will come to Madrid for my birthday (March 13), we will go for Christmas and New Years, since with the work that our husbands and we have in school is a lot so we decided not to go to Mexico much to fix the problem in the company as soon as possible.

On Monday the 11th of this month I return to classes, the truth was a bit difficult at first, because being away from my country, my family, but I hope that everything will go well, this new year will be incredible, it will start a new stage in my life, my marriage, school, a new culture, a new kind of life, I hope to be support for Natt and that she is mine.

An unknown place, not being able to drive because you do not know the streets, asking someone where a certain place is, having to spend money on a taxi, uber or any other means of transport, trying to make friends at school so that Natt and I are not alone , go out with other friends, have a coffee with friends, on the weekend go out to a bar, accompany Aarón to dinners and business lunches, go to dinners of important foundations, visit him at the company, go to the movies, have dinner all four Well, you get the point, my life changed a lot since the day I said "yes, I accept."

Starting next week it will be a challenge, as it will be getting up early, I will no longer be at home doing food, cleaning, tidying up or watching movies, from that day on a lady will come to take care of the house in my absence, Well, I'll go to the university at eight in the morning and I'll be back at two in the afternoon.

At this moment I find myself chopping the lettuce that will go along with the steamed steak, along with an exquisite wine, everything is ready, I dance to the rhythm of Wolf from SIA, I feel hands wrap around my waist from behind, a hundred that moves along with me To the rhythm of the song, I turn around slowly, I surround his neck without looking up, I feel his lips on my forehead, I can feel how he leaves wet kisses in that place, little by little I raise my gaze that when I meet hers I lose myself in it for a few seconds, we both smile at the same time, we slowly approach until we pink our lips, I can feel how warm and soft they are, the delicious smell of his lotion, I decide to kiss him completely, enjoy my lips now husband, I can feel his hands clench my hip but it does not hurt me, I take it from his cheeks to deepen the kiss, to feel him closer. I go backward little by little until I collide with the counter near the sink, Aaron lowers his hands to my legs I can feel his skin in that area, he begins to raise them little by little under the hem of my skirt which rises with the movement of His hands, without waiting any longer, he loads me and climbs on the counter, I can feel the cold of it, my skin bristles to the point that I separate myself from Aaron to be able to breathe better, I can see it in his eyes he wants more as well than me, it is a sensation that begins from the tip of my feet to my spine.

He begins to kiss my neck with short and wet kisses, he goes down very slowly, lowers the straps of my blouse, he is about to reach my clavicle when the door is heard, Aarón continues in his business but the insistence and despair of the two touches They make it separate, our breaths are strong and deep, they keep knocking on the door, I get off the counter I arrange my clothes, I get ready to see who it is that knocks on the door but Aaron stops me, puts both hands on my hip I can feel his breath on my neck, his chest hard against my back and my body bristle. In my ear he says.

- Don't even think you got rid of me, we'll finish later. - When he says that, he advances to the door, I can see him through the space on the counter, he fixes his shirt.

When you open the door you can see my brother with his impeccable suit as well as his hair and shoes, next to him is a very well-groomed Natt, with her wine-colored pointed heels, her white dress with knee-length flounces, and her wine-colored jacket that is two fingers longer than her dress, brings her hair gathered in a ponytail, with a very simple headband in silver with white stones, a silver bracelet and earrings with the same colors than the diadem, you can see her beautiful wedding and engagement ring, the engagement ring has twelve diamonds and in the center it has a ruby, which combines very well with her wardrobe, her wedding ring is silver with flower-shaped ornaments They are precious, the truth is, my brother chose them well.

Aarón hugs Carlos and Natt greets her with two kisses on the cheeks, my brother hugs me very hard, in his ear he tells me how beautiful I look and how lucky Aaron is, Natt when greeting me is very effusive, Aarón closes the door and He invites them to come to the dining room while I go for the food so that I can bring it to each other, Natt helps me serve the mashed potatoes, steak and salad, Carlos is in charge of serving the wine, Natt gives him mineral water , Aaron arranges the bread on a tray, all of us, when nothing is lacking, we prepare to bless the food and give thanks to God, the men discuss some business.

- And tell me Lina, how do you feel in this country? Have you got those dizziness again? - He asks me as he breaks a piece of steak.

- The truth is that I still feel bad, in the morning nausea, headache, dizziness and back pain wake me up, I have gone to the doctor but he told me the same thing as the Zacatecas doctor, which is nothing serious, the True, if I still feel like that, I'll go have some studies done, because I'm not liking this at all.- I tell him while I drink a little wine, that when I touch my palar it tastes like glory, Natt sees me with a look that I wouldn't know how to describe it. So I decide to ask.

- What's up Natt? Do you know something that I don't? - She smiles sideways as she takes her water.

- I had similar symptoms a few days ago, I went to the pharmacy for a pregnancy test, which came out positive, and I suspect that you may be pregnant, I don't think that is a simple infection, so I recommend doing a test.- He says everything in a whisper so they don't hear us. But did you still have doubts that it was a pregnancy?

- Natt, but I hadn't done a test for you in a while, why did you do it again?

- It is that deep inside of me I wanted it to be a lie, I ... I don't know if I could be a ... a good mother, and the truth.- her eyes fill with tears when she says each of the words.- I'm afraid, that such that I am just like my mother, I do not know.- At the last he takes a long breath and takes a sip of water.

- You should not be afraid, you are a good person, you do not look like your mother at all, you are much better, I know you will be a good mother, and tell me, have you already told Carlos?

- No, not yet, I'm thinking of making a surprise something like a box with balloons that say "congratulations dad" and a box that has the pregnancy test, what do you say?

- Sounds good to me, I'm sure he would be very happy, he always wanted to have children, but with the right person and that's you. - We continue talking about other things, we are all very happy, when we finish eating I go to the kitchen to go for bread and to carry dirty dishes.

My cell phone rings is an unknown number, so I answer suspiciously, I can hear a heavy breathing from the other side.

- Well, who's talking? - But there is no answer, you just start listening to music in the background, it's the typical music in scary movies, I don't know what this is.- Well, well.- I'm about to hang up when I listen to the person on the other side.

- I'll go for you my love, just wait and see.- is all he says and hangs up, just like that.

I feel a fear deep within me, Natt enters the kitchen but I can't hear her, she is just saying something, my vision is blurry and I know it is because of my tears, she approaches me to be able to hold me but she can't, my head hurts and I feel like my breath is leaving, I can see that he is screaming something, but I feel so dazed that I do not hear, I see my brother and my husband enter worried I can only see their faces for a moment before closing my eyes and start to breathe very desperately, I feel a lump in my throat, my hands are shaking as well as my legs, I feel like they are holding me by the waist, I smell and I know that it is Aaron that is his fragrance and smell of fresh mint, I concentrate in its aroma is the only thing that can calm me.

I feel like they carry me and with hurried steps they walk towards what I think is the bedroom, since I feel my bed, the comfort of my bed, Aaron lies down with me, Natt brings a wet cloth, I can perceive something fresh on my forehead. My breathing is calmer and I feel a great fatigue in my whole body, the heaviness in my eyelids, so without realizing it I let myself go into the arms of Morpheus.
