Love In Between
Chapter 34

I would never have imagined that Gael would play the piano, let alone have a studio for this “hobby” in Madrid. The façade gives no indication that this could be a music studio, it looks more like an empty place. He opens the door and lets me in first and then he goes in and locks the door behind us.

-Is this really your studio or are you going to kill me and leave my body here? I joke as he turns on the lights and we both laugh.

-I’m not a criminal… although, killing you has crossed my mind, but killing you with k****s,” he confesses and I look at him with a half smile tattooed on my face.

-And why did we come here,” I ask ignoring his tempting warning and look around me.

-I really wanted us to spend some time here and share something with you that I don’t normally show to anyone,” he explains and now it all makes more sense.

-All right… I’ll listen to you carefully then,” I say enthusiastically and take off my coat and then sit down on a black sofa in the corner of the studio, which looks quite comfortable.

-I thought you’d sit next to me at the piano,” he says somewhat disappointed as he stares at me from a safe distance.

I watch him carefully and I really love the way those jeans fit his thighs. For some reason I like the fact that he doesn’t wear such baggy trousers… “Serena, you know very well why you like him; don’t play dumb.” My subconscious screams at me, and I try to ignore it so I don’t sound crazy.

-I don’t want to distract you,” I finally reply and cross my legs with full intent.

His laughter floods the studio and I try to keep my composure, “Well, it doesn’t look like it,” he says mischievously and winks at me. He sighs and gives me one last look before he goes to sit at the piano.

He takes off his coat, puts it to one side, and begins to do some finger exercises on the piano that make me pay close attention to him. His fingers begin to meld with the piano keys and I am unable to take my eyes off him. For some reason I find his fingers fascinating, and I don’t know if it’s because my mind reminds me of everything they’ve done on my skin the times we’ve been together, or if it’s just that they’re amazing.

I’m making a great effort to stop my mind, but it’s almost impossible. It’s screaming for me to hug it from behind as I listen to it sing, and I have to listen. Stealthily, I stand up and walk over to him to hug him and rest my chin on his shoulder. -How beautifully you play the piano,” I whisper in his ear and he smiles.

He tries to keep playing, but suddenly stops and changes the rhythm. – I can’t keep playing with you this close,” he whispers and then stops and turns around to place his legs on the other side of the stool and grabs me around the waist. -Serena, my love… I swear I don’t know how to keep my cool when you’re near me anymore. I try to be romantic, cheesy, and all that… but, you don’t let me; you push me to the limit every time I have you near me,” I confess and bite my lips.

-Tell me, handsome… What do you want me to tell you today about my family, my life and everything else? I think we’ve talked a lot about all that in our long WhatsApp conversations while we were apart,” I comment and he smiles.

-I just don’t want you to think that our relationship will only be of a s****l nature,” he justifies himself, making me laugh.

Without losing my look at him, I sit on top of him with my legs on the side of his body and I carry my breasts on his shoulders. -Believe me, that’s not what I think,” I say firmly.

-And what do you think?” I ask as a challenge and he smiles.

Without taking my eyes off his, I sit on him with my legs on either side of his body and put my arms around his shoulders. -Believe me, that’s not what I think,” I say firmly.

-And what do you think?” he asks challengingly and smiles.

I sort out the words in my mind, “I think we met almost six months ago and because we were scared we decided to have a cold relationship, no strings attached and just good s*x. I think we always went a little further even if we didn’t see it at first. I think I love you, I think I’m madly in love with you and I think I’ve spent the last 22 days missing you like I’ve never missed anyone. I think that we’ve gotten to know each other a lot in our phone chats, and that in this short time we have together we just want to give each other all the k****s we’ve been saving for each other. I think that since that last night we spent together months ago I’ve been waiting to be in your arms again. I think I want to fill myself with you so that when you have to leave again I can remember each one of your caresses… I think I’ve talked enough and now I just want to eat you with k****s slowly and that the keys of that piano sound in a messy way because of the way you’ll make me yours here… What do you say,” I ask, losing myself in the way he looks at me.

-I say that I love you. That I’m never going to get tired of you again,” he says bluntly and without further ado, he begins to k**s me in an urgent way. One that takes my breath away. His hands are hastily undressing me and all it took was a spark to set off this fire that doesn’t just seem to be burning this studio, but the whole block of this neighbourhood.
