Ideal Marriage (5 page)

Good looking to that an elegant district of the north, as opposed to the sea, trees in the garden, a separated study and a BMW in the garage.

Gabbi felt the presence of Benedict before it put the fingers to him in the waist.

It smiled and it was turned towards him.

" Benedict " Francesca affectionately greeted it ".

a long time ago that we did not see ourselves.

" Yes " said he ".

You know Dominion? " they have not presented/displayed to us formally " Francesca smiled to intention when watching at the man to its side.

" Andrea Dominion.

Industralist and painter in short whiles " Benedict said to him ".

Francesca Angeletti.

" You must come to have supper to my house.

You bring to Francesca.

" Gabbi? " Benedict watched Gabbi requesting to him that she was the one who made the decision.

" Thanks.

We will be enchanted to go.

" Not " the attractive widow rejected the invitation.

" We put a day " said Dominion ".

With the present Benedicts and Gabbi, you will be out of danger " smiled ".

not even you are not interested in seeing if you are right? Gabbi observed Francesca.

" it does not interest to know to me where you live " this one answered draining the eyes and watching coldly.

" Tomorrow " Dominic ".

To six insisted and average.

The return occurred and it left to the other end of the gallery.

" What so prepotent man! " Francesca exclaimed when it went away.

" He is a very rich man and with much success " Benedict said ".

she is dedicated to the art and she donates many of his works to charitable organizations.

" He is friend yours? " Sometimes we have made businesses together.

It spends long time outside the country.

In New York, Athens, Rome.

" champán, the caviar and ostras are not of my affability " Francesca said.

" You have something in common " amused Benedict said.

" To what its invitation is due to have supper? " Francesca asked.

" your charming talent Admires.

" I have not had intention to seem charming.

" Perhaps it has desire to discover why no.

" It must of being who the women usually do not reject it.

Benedict ed ***reflx mng itself and said: " Not very often they reject it.

Gabbi saw a special brightness in the eyes of its friend.

It could not repress a smile and it said to him: " You will accept then? " Long ago that does not offer a so interesting evening to me " Francesca commented ".

Tomorrow I will answer to you during the lunch, Gabbi.

Benedict called their attention on a steel sculpture.

To the few minutes, Francesca left.

" You want quedarte to the celebration of Leon? " it asked to Benedict minutes later.

Gabbi watched it.

" I suppose that you will have given a succulent check him to calm its annoyance by our absence, it is not truth? Benedict smiled.

" pictures five and thirty and seven, in addition to the sculpture that recommended Annaliese to me.

Gabbi felt a knot in the stomach.

" a gift for James " Benedict added.

" I am sure that it will appreciate it " said she after a long silence.

" you have not answered my question " he remembered to him.

" James, Monique and Annaliese have still not left " she said.

" he did not know that that conditioned to you " he said.

In fact, she did not pardon to him that she had let herself drag so easily by Annaliese, nor that had been let catch in a so long conversation.

" If you want that we leave…

" she said.

" you are not going to attend? " Monique took part ", Leon will become angry if you do not attend its celebration.

" Headache " Benedict said.

Monique intensely watched Gabbi.

" OH, wanted! Really? " it watched it with distrust.

" What pain to finish the night so early! " Annaliese exclaimed.

It watched Benedict " Perhaps.

it does not matter to him to Gabbi that you leave it in house and you return to the celebration, you do not create? " I Am who have headache " he commented, watching Gabbi so that this one knew that it was a suffering of sexual nature.

Annaliese watched it maliciously.

" That you amuse yourselves " hermanastra murmured his, tightening the arm of Benedict as a caress.

Gabbi wished not to put itself red.

Benedict took leave of all, she took it from the hand and she began to cross the room.

Leon was talking with a people group.

" OH, wanted! You go away? " it does not matter to you? " OH, I am glad so much of that you have been able to come! " Leon smiled beatifically, thanks to the check of Benedict.

Gabbi hoped to that Benedict removed the Jaguar from the parking to begin the verbal attack.

" he has been unforgivable! " To what you talk about exactly? It had desire to beat to him, but she remained in silence until it arrived at Vaucluse, put the car in the garage and entered the house.

" You want coffee? " Benedict asked to him after activating the security system again.

" Not " she said.

It did not touch it.

" too much you are gotten upset to take coffee, seems.

" and what you hoped? " Something of gratitude perhaps, to escape to us, you do not create? She tried to control herself.

" she has bothered to You that she wants to make the love with you? " he asked to him.

" he did not wait for a formal announcement of your intentions " he said to him gotten upset while it took the nape of the neck and lowered the head to him to kiss it ".

No! Déjame! But he kissed it and it gave itself to her hug with ferocidad.

All its body wished and opened it the mouth to receive it.

The passion replaced to the annoyance.

It registered that treason during a second and she was wondered how it was possible.

He was not right that it had that effect in her.

Or that it had so little control.

The sex motivated by lascivia was not bad, but the love was the true prize.

She wanted to protest when it put an arm to him underneath the knees and he raised it against his chest.

She knew that she had to protest.

It took it by the stairs towards the room.

He cleared the jacket to him and he left it in a chair.

The smooth light of two lamps was reflected in a mirror and it saw two figures.

A discharge and colored person and the other small one and dressed red.

Later, it was lost in the heat of the enthusiastic glance of Benedict while it cleared the clothes to him with as much avidity as the one of him when undressing it.

It felt his muscles under his fingers, the tension in them, his muscular chest, its waist lasts and the push of its powerful legs.

The beat of the heart of Benedict accelerated the one of her along with when it left it in the bed.

She raised herself upon him, excited before which she approached myself.

Quena to give as much pleasure him as knew that it was going to receive.

It arrived slowly at the éxtasis, enjoying each passage of the way towards him, until it let feel that they were two, until their souls were fused in a single body.

And soon, they remained thrown, with the arms and the legs interlaced, enjoying the smooth caresses in the lukewarm skin, of the lips on the skin, in "a later" full one of tenderness until the dream demanded them to both.

The rays of the sun were hot after the coldness of the conditioned air of the building, and Gabbi felt the originating heat of the pavement combined with the one of the people big wave who left the offices to have lunch.

Sydney was a vibrant city, with people of different cultures.

Gabbi went to the encounter of Francesca.

The restaurant was full, but Gabbi had reserved a table.

Maítre received it efusivamente and it lead her.

It requested frozen water.

Francesca arrived immediately.

" the traffic was terrible " her friend commented ".

and to find parking he was worse even.

Gabbi smiled and said: " the traffic is a hell.

We requested? " Good idea.

I am starving.

Francesca chose a followed soup of a Greek salad and fresh fruit.

Gabbi chose just like her friend, but preferred paste instead of the soup.

" How long you are going to be in Sydney? " it smiled.

" Not much " Francesca raised the glass that sounded with the ice ".

few weeks.

Soon, I will return to Europe.

" Háblame on Rome…

" To the mother of Mario they diagnosed a cancer to him that could not operate.

The heart of Gabbi shrank of pain.

It extended the hand and it took the one from his friend.

" Francesca, I feel much.

" We could share some weeks before they hospitalized it, and after that was question of days " the eyes of Francesca were darkened with repressed emotions ".

it bequeathed everything to Me.

" Mario was its only son " Gabbi remembered to him.

" Anyway, it was…

" a pause did of a second ".

Unexpected.

The appearance of the waiter interrupted them.

" What new features it has in the family? " Francesca asked when the waiter left.

" None.

" Benedict follows incredible, Monique follows pleasant superficially, Annaliese a vixen, and James seems not to find out anything? That description was so precise, that Gabbi did not know if to laugh or to cry.

" one does not find out of which it happens selectively.

" Your father is an astute man.

" and yours, Francesca? " Consumed with the businesses to be able to give to my beloved madrastra an incredible train of life, something that she insists on saying that it is important " she smiled ".

While my mother continues going from a man to another one.

They finished with the first plate and they followed with the salad.

" Andrea Dominion…

He is Greek? " It is of the second generation.

Her mother is Australian.

" He is an irritating man.

Dominion was many things, but irritating no.

" it seems to You? " an arrogant one.

Perhaps it was right.

Although Gabbi would have called to him "surely of itself".

" You prefer not to go to have supper today? Francesca chewed the last mouthful of salad taking itself its time.

Soon it left the utensil in the plate.

" No.

Why to reject one night interesting? Gabbi smiled.

" a two fight of titanes? " It will be a challenge to defeat to a man in his own game.

Gabbi was not sure that Francesca won.

The waiter took a tray with fruit and requested the coffee.

" You want that it gives the direction you of Dominion? " the note asked to Gabbi gathering.

Francesca protested ".

Or you want that we gather to you? " I will see You there " Francesca said.

It removed to a pen and paper from his purse and took note from the direction ".

Of six and average? " Gabbi Himself-Answered.

Once in the street, Francesca gave a kiss him in each cheek and it took him flowed it when they took leave.

" It is wonderful to return to verte! Cuídate.

" Yes.

We will see ourselves tonight " Francesca promised to him.

There were several messages in the writing-desk of Gabbi when this one returned.

It gave back the calls, it dictated several letters to his secretary and worked in the reduction of general expenses of a subsidiary company.

The systematic supervision made lack to discover alternative providers, who, it was convinced, could give an equal service by a more competitive price.

It made a list of numbers to which it had to call.

The internal telephone sounded.

Gabbi pushed the button.

" Yes? Find? " There is a package in reception for you.

It wants that is engaged in it? " Yes, please.

A minute later, her secretary appeared with a great surrounded rectangular package in brown paper.

" She has on.

She wants that she opens it? " No.

I will take care of it.

Thanks, Find.

It could not be that outside…

It left on in the writing-desk and began to develop the package.

It smiled when seeing that it was the picture that was been watching in the gallery of Leon.

He was perfect for the wall of his office.

The card had a concise message: "For you".

And it was signed by Benedict.

Gabbi extended the hand towards the private telephone and called to the number of Benedict.

" Nicols " it answered immediately.

" you realized my interest in the picture " she said warmly ".

she enchants to Me.

Thanks.

" Why it do not give a stroll until my office and me you thank for it in person? " amused Benedict said to him.

" For awhile of diversion? " Very brief " he with humor said ".

a partner is hoping to me in the private hall.

" In that case, you would not have to make hope it " she said picaramente.

She ed ***reflx mng herself.

" Tonight, Gabbi…

She heard the click of the telephone when she hung he.

The rest of afternoon happened quickly, and to five it extinguished the computer, it signed letters, it gathered his briefcase and it lowered to the parking.

The car of Benedict was in the garage when it arrived at house.

As they were going to have supper outside it did not pass by the kitchen.

It raised the stairs directly.

He would be pleasant to undress and to relax in jacuzzi, thought while it entered the dormitory.

But it did not have time.

Only twenty minutes to shower, to get dressed, to make up themselves and to comb themselves.

It heard the noise of the machine shave from the bath.

A silk dressing gown was put and left.

Benedict was standing in front of the great mirror shaving itself, surrounded in a towel.

It was evident that he finished showering.

" Hello " she said almost out of breath when half-naked seeing it.

He raised the glance and he watched it.

" Hello " she said, fixing his eyes to the mouth of her.

She delivered an attack and the dressing gown took off; one put in the compartment of the shower, opened the water and it entered the shower.

When it finished, that occurred to account of was single.

In ten minutes, it was made up and it was combed.

It went to the locker and it chose trousers of silk in color ivory and a camisole.

Soon one put a jacket of silk, gold jewels and elegant sandals.

One lay down drops of his favorite perfume and gathered his purse at night.

" You are ready? " Yes, we go away? The house of Dominic was an example shining of design architecture.

It was in the district of Beauty Point and had views to the port.

Dominic greeted them and it made them happen.

High ceilings and crystal doors of the ceiling to the ground caused that the light flooded the room.

The contraventanas were of wood, and the furniture had a touch of Caribbean.

Francesca was not.

Gabbi was asked if her friend would have calculated her arrival with five minutes of delay.

The timbre sounded to the ten minutes when it was savoring a delicious cocktail of fruits.

Dominic left opened its master of keys.

Al to seem, if Francesca had used a strategy, Dominic also had hers.

Francesca was overwhelming.

Gabbi applauded it quiet.

Her friend watched a moment before going to her host.

" Please, it accepts my excuses " Francesca said.

" Accepted " said Dominic ".

You want a glass? " frozen Water " Francesca with a sweet smile ".

With ice requested.

" Mineral? With gas or without gas? " Without gas, if you have.

Gabbi smiled and drank I suck more of its cocktail.

Francesca went of black, to perhaps remarcar its widow's pension.

It successfully had all the aspect of an international model.

It took the hair gathered in moño neglected, with few curls that framed the face to him.

The maquillaje was perfect, although Gabbi doubted that it had taken to him more than ten minutes to apply it to it.

Its perfume had been put favorite, Hermes Caléche, and doubt that did not fit its suit was of a bought Italian designer to good price.

Gabbi was wondered how much it would take in arriving Dominic at which there was underneath the protective shell of his friend, its true nature.

It did not know if Francesca would leave tried it.

The supper consisted of varied plates, exquisitely presented/displayed in a Chinese porcelain set of dishes.

There was also a source of salads artistic adorned, with avocados, handles and nuts.

It would be a concession to which Dominion suspected would be a necessary diet for a model, Gabbi was asked.

Francesca, Gabbi knew it very either, ate or, and it did not have too much necessity to control his food.

That night, nevertheless, had eaten little amount, it did not eat dessert and it preferred tea of grass instead of the black coffee that used to take.

" District of the north, with views to the sea and trees in the garden " Francesca watching to Dominion over the edge of its cup joked.

" you have guessed right in almost everything " said Dominion with humor ", You have the sufficient curiosity like wanting to discover if you are in the certain thing in which it is? " you talk about to the separated study and the BMW in the garage? " Yes.

Francesca raised an eyebrow and asked with distrust and a superiority tone: " It is a subtle invitation to another thing? " Pinto in the study and I let for the dormitory the one make the love.

Francesca watched it.

" How prosaic! Gabbi thought: "Déjalo, Francesca.

You are playing with dynamite.

In addition the BMW is a Lexus and, although the study is separate, is upon the triple garage and together with the house by a acristalado passage ".

" More tea? " Dominic offered.

" Thanks, no.

Benedict put itself of foot with a smooth movement, watched their wife and said: " If you excuse to us, Dominion " it smiled ".

the supper has been wonderful.

It congratulates Louise of our part " it smiled affectionately.

" it has been a wonderful evening " its purse said to Gabbi gathering.

It watched Francesca briefly, but it could not draw no conclusion from his expression.

Its game was a good excuse so that Francesca went away, and the interest of Gabbi increased when seeing that her friend did not have intention to leave.

Perhaps Francesca did not want to go out running with the first excuse that appeared to avoid to be solo with Dominic, thought Gabbi.

" Francesca can fix them very well to it single " the car to the street said to Benedict when removing.

" Dominic also " the frown remembered Gabbi to him frunciendo.

" That worries to you? " Yes " she answered ".

I would not like that she did damage to him to Francesca.

" I have not seen any sign of pressure on the part of Dominic.

And she failed to take advantage of the opportunity to leave when she could " Benedict stopped the car in an intersection.

" Now you are going to also say that we will dance in his boda?-said Gabbi acidly.
