Chapter Text
The days that followed were tense for Sérgio. The concern with his brother, with the surgery he would have to undergo and, mainly, if he would be compatible to do the transplant were making him sad. Raquel had given all her support to her boyfriend, she was also frightened by the fact that he had to undergo such a procedure, but tried to cheer him up when he could.
It was vacation time and tourism was growing more and more on the island. Lisbon owns a bar and two nightclubs in the city, that's how she invested the money she stole from her ex. After all, that money wouldn't last forever. So the woman was getting very busy going to each establishment trying to keep everything as organized as possible.
Her only moments of rest Raquel spent with her boyfriend.
Julio was heartbroken when Andrés broke the news. The fear of losing not one, but both children to the same illness that led to his wife has never been greater. He was organizing everything for the period they would have to spend in Switzerland.
- Let's Dance?
Raquel asked Sérgio and Alícia, the three decided to have fun in a bar that night. She had always tried to think of something cool to do and not make Sergio sad at home.
- Go ahead, I'll order something to eat.
Sérgio said, then she got up, kissed him and went with her friend to the dance floor. He asked the waiter for snacks and watched his girlfriend laugh and dance from a distance. He was never an outgoing and fun person, but he loved to see Raquel's way. She is such a free woman, she doesn't care what they say, it just makes her more beautiful in his eyes.
- Sergio?
Marquina turned to the caller and her stomach turned. Olivia.
- Olivia?
- How long, no?
She smiled, but Sergio remained serious. Things had ended badly between them, since he left the house to find Raquel that night, the two did not see each other or spoke. Olivia just disappeared.
At the moment, with everything that was happening, what he least wanted was to have a dirty laundry with his ex.
- Yes, long time.
Sergio bowed his head, pricking a piece of chicken with his fork and then soaking it with sauce.
- Can we talk? Since we meet here at random. Are you alone?
- Not really. I am with my girlfriend.
He pointed to the other side of the bar where Alicia and Raquel were laughing talking about something.
- So I wasn't wrong.
He said referring to his jealousy of Raquel. Olivia was already showing with the body language that she was going to discuss, her hands were on her hips and her face was closed.
- Olivia, I will say this only once and, honestly, I don't want to talk but I think we have to clarify things. I never betrayed you, I always respected you as Raquel never hit me or
disrespected you. The way you ended things hurt me a lot but now it doesn't make any difference. It's okay and I hope you are happy.
Olivia swallowed and shook her head in agreement.
- Okay. I'm sorry for what happened, today I see that I was really hasty. But my instinct was right, wasn't it? You always liked her.
- Raquel has always been my friend since I came to live here. I will not discuss anything else about this, not least because I owe no satisfactions.
Olivia snorted irritably.
- I hope you are also happy, Sérgio.
- I wish the same.
Sergio just gave a restrained smile and shook his head, then she went to the other end of the bar and sat at a table with other people. He let out a breath releasing tension from his body, meeting ex-girlfriends was always uncomfortable for him.
Soon the two women returned, Raquel sat next to him. She was panting and sweaty from dancing, and also because the side of the floor was the warmest in the room.
- You ordered my favorite chicken! I knew I had chosen the right boyfriend.
She spoke excitedly, kissing him.
- You guys are so cute they make me want to throw up.
Alicia grunted making the couple laugh. The night continued lively, the drinks left Sérgio more and more loose and uninhibited, Raquel loved it when her boyfriend was like that.
- Now that you're more excited do you want to dance with me?
- Oh no, love. Go with Alicia again.
- She's already found a company.
Raquel nodded to where her friend was with a black woman with a well-armed Black Power.
- Come on, Sergio. Stop fooling around.
She asked by pulling him by the hand to the track, which was full. She put her arms around his neck leaving their bodies close together and they enjoyed the music. Raquel insisted on moving her body in a sensual way, always touching her boyfriend's.
She turned her back to him and swayed, rubbing her ass on the member that was beginning to show signs of excitement.
- Stop provoking.
Sergio asked. He held her hips and whispered in her ear.
- I know you like.
She bit her lip, looking at him sensuously.
- I like it, but I don't know if I can wait to take a taxi to get home and be able to do what I want with you.
Raquel laughed and then kissed him. He pulled her around the waist while deepening the kiss, tongues intertwining, she pulled her boyfriend's black hair. I was about to wrap a leg around Sergio's waist when he pulled away.
- I think we better go.
- No. Come here.
She walked among the people holding his hand until they reached the bathrooms. Lisboa entered the women's division and confirmed that it was empty, so she quickly pulled Sérgio inside and locked the door.
- Soon there will be people beating.
- There's another bathroom upstairs and it'll be quick.
She smiled at him in a way that made him catch his breath. She grabbed him again, kissed each other hungry. Sérgio lifted her up, sitting on the sink counter, the movement made the dress she wore go up leaving most of her thighs exposed.
He quickly took off the black panties she wore and touched them, realizing that she was already very excited. He stimulated her by making circular movements on the clitoris, Raquel moaned, squeezing the man's shoulders until he penetrated her with two fingers. The pace was slow but deep, making contact with the most sensitive spot inside.
- Sérgio, we don't have much time.
He hurriedly opened his pants and penetrated them. From then on it was a frenzy of moans, sweat and kisses.
Shortly after leaving the bathroom the couple decided to end the night and return to Sergio's house. He was more upset by the drink than Raquel, and she was amused by her completely flustered boyfriend.
- Olivia came to see me.
He grunted. Both were already lying in bed almost asleep.
- I know.
- You know?
He looked at her in surprise.
-I'm not blind, Sergio.
She laughed.
- She wanted confusion, but ended up just apologizing.
- Are you okay?
- Why wouldn't you be?
He shrugged.
- Ah ... it's your ex, you broke up because of me.
- It wasn't because of you, it was because of jealousy. - he snorted - I hate jealousy, it's so boring. It makes everything uncomfortable and… not free.
Raquel laughed his way. Sérgio was much more open to conversation when he drank.
- I know what you mean. Since Alberto, I can't stand that they try to deprive me in any way.
He smiled and hugged her, hid his face in her neck where he started to kiss.
- I love the way you are free, it makes you so sexy.
- Oh yes?
She laughed, cringing at the tickle that his beard made on his neck. He replied nodding his head.
- I love the way we trust each other and don't worry about silly things like jealousy.
The two smiled looking at each other and soon involved a passionate kiss.
2 weeks for the procedure
- You don't have to do that.
Sérgio said he was tired of arguing, they had been on the subject for an hour and neither of them seemed to want to give in.
- It didn't even have to be discussed. I'll go with you and period.
- Your mother needs you here and your business cannot be left unattended.
- My mom has her friends and Alicia can stay in my place for a while.
He took a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair.
- What are you not telling me, love? Why don't you want me there?
- I'm just scared.
He shrugged.
- I have allergies to some medicines, you know I was hospitalized a long time as a child.
Raquel nodded.
- I believe there is a chance that I will have some reaction to anesthesia. When I arrive I will do some exams.
- But this can be serious, Sergio.
- I know, but what can I do? My brother depends on me, I need to try.
She looked at him worriedly, didn't expect it. Every surgery has risks, but in this case it is worse. The family history is not good and the pressure that Sérgio is putting on himself is not healthy.
- I'm going with you, don't worry about anything but your brother and his recovery.
Seeing that he would not win the fight, he relented. Raquel hugged him and kissed his head. One thing she has learned from experience is that they are much better when they are together.
