Chapter 30 THE SURPRISE
Raúl
Incredible! That’s the ideal word to sum up the moments I spent with Alana. I’m not really sure if the sensations were the same for her, at times I felt uncomfortable, and I think she didn’t want to tell me. Even with that feeling, I believe it provided some pleasure, at times she seemed to enjoy it, and remembering that makes me happy. After the call from her mother, and some caresses, I made a point of taking her home. I stopped my car in front of the residence, and when I was getting ready to leave, she took my arm.
– Where are you going?
– I’ll talk to your mother…
– No, are you crazy? This will only make the situation worse.
– Alana, I need to clear everything up, she can’t keep thinking that I just want to take advantage of her brother’s fame!
As soon as I spoke, she took my lips with an unusual ferocity, and then sat on my lap, her tongue invaded me, and it met mine in a very sensual way, driving me crazy. My hand wandered down her thighs until it reached her ass, I squeezed it hard, she let out a slight moan, and that was the trigger for my friend to get hard as a stone. She noticed it too, because she broke the kiss, looked in his direction, and then returned her gaze to me, and smiled. His hands started caressing my face, while mine were still squeezing his ass.
– Will you talk to my mother? How could I even think about talking to your mother when my dick was hard and I was dying to penetrate her right there in my car?
– Alana, I…
– Leave it for another day… – He said, and looked at me with that air of innocence that I like so much. – I promise I’ll make it up to you!
– You mean you’re going to leave me like this? I asked, she stared at me and bit her lip, and it made me even more crazy about her.
– Like this?
– Oh, do you want to play? Want me to show you the size of my disappointment?
– Raúl! he exclaimed, smiled and sat down beside me again, and a feeling of emptiness came over me. I think I’m addicted to this girl! It didn’t take long for us to say goodbye, and I was convinced that Alana needed to speak to her mother alone, and that she should speak to my mother-in-law some other time.

The day went by very quickly. I think the hours go by at the speed of light when you’re at home. I stayed resting, or at least I tried, since my mother asked me to talk to Javier, after an argument the two of them had. I was very clear with him, I explained that being a teenager doesn’t mean being irresponsible, and we had a fruitful conversation, my brother is not a problem kid, he just wants to enjoy life. I called Alana, but our conversation was interrupted by the arrival of her friends, and now after spending the day resting, and solving family issues, lying in my bed, I replay in my mind everything that happened from yesterday to the hot moment inside the my car. I can still taste her, her scent, her softness and the freshness of her skin beneath mine, and I can’t stop thinking about her, and the moments we’ve spent. If I continue like this, I’m bound to go crazy!
I call my beloved. It doesn’t take long for the phone to be answered, and I hear her beautiful voice.
– Hi quarterback?
– Hi baby! Did you miss me?
– Not. We saw each other a few hours ago, and are you already missing me? Your question makes me understand that you want to play. So let’s start the game!
– Wow, I thought you were missing me. But it’s ok… I’ll call Amália to keep me company, she must be missing me. What do you think?
– You are not crazy! – He says, a little irritated, we tied at 1 x 1 – It’s not funny, Raúl!
– Jokes aside, how about we spend the night together ? This time without interruptions, so I can provide you with much more pleasure!
– I can not!
– Why? What happened?
– It’s my mother, I told you that our conversation was not very nice. And then there ‘s Dani, he also came to answer me, and…
– So I have to go to your house to clear all this up! I say and silence settles in. I wait for a few seconds and nothing. I ask. – Alana, are you there?
– I am. I don’t think so! Wait a little longer, and then you can talk to them and clear all this up! Her answer comes after an eternity, she looks uncomfortable. I think he’s hiding something from me, and that worries me.
– All right, I won’t insist. If you don’t want me to talk to them, I won’t. But I hope you’re not hiding something from me!
– And what would I be hiding from you?
– I don’t know. I think I already told you that you can tell me everything that is bothering you, right?
– Everything is fine. Can we see each other tomorrow?
– Tomorrow wo n’t work, I forgot to tell you that I’m leaving for Lyon tonight, and…
– What are you going to do in Lyon?
– The second game of the Champions League round of 16 takes place on Wednesday of Europe, and we will face Club sportif Olympic.

The trip to France was very smooth. I was a little disappointed not to be able to see Paris, but what really matters is the result of my tour: Club Sportif Olympique 2 x 3 Real Desportivo de Madrid. The game was difficult, a tight result, they started winning by 2 x 0, and that in the first half. On the return of the second half, Rafael managed to equalize with the help of Tomás, who created great opportunities in the middle of the field, and in the 44th minute of the second half, in a free kick, I sent my head into the goal, and it was just running to the hug from colleagues who were at the bank. ADELANTE MADRID! The night was for celebrations at the hotel. Everyone congratulated me. Happiness was what I felt for my performance, and for the recognition that took a long time to appear, after a lot of work, a lot of struggle and deprivation.
We boarded early. As soon as I disembark, and put my feet on Madrid soil, we are greeted by a battalion of journalists, and to my surprise they don’t want to talk to Rafael, Tomás, Diego or another player, but to Raúl Ibañez . I! Do journalists want to talk to me? I’m surprised, I don’t know what to say, and I’m more surprised when one of them brings information I don’t know.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
– Raúl, what did you think of your call up for the friendly with France?
– Was I summoned? I’m not aware of this…
I look in my pocket for my phone, but it’s dead. Also, I was on a plane, and there was no communication. This information leaves me in a trance, I don’t know how to react, or what to think, it’s a dream come true, you know? Even though I’m not a starter, I don’t go to the World Teams Tournament, but the fact of being called up, of wearing that shirt officially made me go back to the past, and remember when I was a child, during the first time I watched the Tournament. in 1994, at the age of eight. I was so sad when I saw La Roja being eliminated in the quarterfinals by Italy, who would lose to Brazil in the final of the tournament.
Club security escorts me out of the airport, journalists fill me with questions I can’t answer, I’m so emotional I can’t think. My mind is far away, and all the way to the club, my teammates, the manager, the commission, everyone congratulates me on my first call up, and I am completely lost in emotions and thoughts, a movie plays in my head. As soon as I put my feet in the house, my family welcomes me with great joy, my mother is more emotional than I am, she hugs me, and I can’t hold back the tears anymore, and I burst into tears. Getting to the national team is more than a dream come true, it’s much bigger, something I can’t explain in words.
After so much joy, conversations, collective crying as a family, I am now in my room. I take off my clothes in the hope of taking a shower to relax, the day has barely begun and it has brought me so much joy, that I will not forget the third of March of two thousand and ten. I get in the shower, the water runs down my body bringing me a feeling of freshness, and suddenly the image of Alana comes to my mind. I didn’t speak to her when I was in Lyon, and it’s been two days now. She must be upset, and thinking I’m mad at her for not spending the night with me, I called her a few times but got no response. She also called me at times I couldn’t answer. I come out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, and with another towel drying my hair. I’m snapped from my action when I hear a sweet voice call my name.
– Raúl… – I look in the direction of the voice, and involuntarily a smile forms on my face.
– Alana! – I pronounce her name, she looks at me in a tender way, and with a shy smile.
– Congratulations!
– Are you just gonna tell me that, and stand there looking at me? I don’t deserve a kiss?
She smiles, and approaches me slowly. I analyze her body covered by a flowery dress, short, spaghetti straps and a cleavage that values her bosom, and makes me bite my lip with desire. A mad desire to snatch her beautiful breasts takes over my thoughts. I don’t wait for her to approach me, I hurry and pull her by the waist, and take her lips. Despair is in my kiss. She wraps her hands in my hair, and pulls it lightly, squeezing it tight against my body. Desperation really takes over my actions. This feeling for Alana will still drive me crazy, this confused way she has to deal with me, and with our relationship is what leaves me like this, not knowing what she really wants. She pulls away, stares at me with those big, frightened black eyes, and says something that touches me.
– Forgive me…
– For what reason?
– For being such an idiot. For not staying with you the other night, and being so fearful, and… – he says, and his mouth opens and closes. He wants to say something he doesn’t have the guts to say, but I help.
– You can talk, I already told you that you can say anything to me!
– It wasn’t just for my mom and Dani, it was for me too! I didn’t have the courage to confess to you what I felt the night of my first time…
– You can say!
– I felt pain, and I thought the whole situation would be like in the books… Painless, wonderful, perfect! Don’t get me wrong… I…
– I know it wasn’t perfect, this story that the first time is perfect is a tremendous lie! Mine, for example, was bad, I was nervous and ended up making a lot of confusion… It was terrible! I confess, and she breaks into a smile. Her laugh is contagious, and I end up smiling along with her. – The others will be better than the first, I guarantee it!
– You know what?
– No…
– That’s the way you made me…fall in love with you. I’m completely in love with you, quarterback!
Yeah… Looks like today is the day for surprises! First the summons, and now Alana’s declaration.
There’s no way to forget this day, 03/03/10!
