Chapter 7 "Paradise"
"Please Clara, this shoot is very important to me. I can't do this without you", Marina insisted. Clara felt her lips formed a smile by hearing these words. "I really want to, Marina. But I don't know how to explain to Cadu, that I will be away for two days…" she blushed when she continued "Which means I have to spent de night with you.." Marina giggled by the way Clara spoke the last sentence. "It's work, Clara" she teased "He doesn't need to know it's just the two of us". Clara remained silent for a moment, while she tried to gather her thoughts. Before she had realized it, she said "Oke, I will come". "Great!" Marina cried out of excitement. Clara smiled and instantly worried about what to tell Cadu. "I'll call you tonight, oke?" Marina continued. "Oke", Clara sighted "kiss".

The next day Marina had arranged everything. She felt relieved that everything worked out the way she planned. When Marina hung up her phone, she sighted deeply. Vanessa could see the glow on her face, and wondered what she was up to. She had called all day, confirming appointments which she couldn't place. There were no shoots scheduled the following week and she was dying to know what made Marina smile like that. "Who was that on the phone?" she asked. Marina faced her and answered "Ooh, just a friend". "Just a friend? What are you up to, Marina?" Vanessa couldn't hide her curiosity. Marina smiled "I'm leaving in a few hours". Vanessa raised her eyebrow. "Where to?" she asked confused. Marina walked towards her laptop as she answered "I need some time off. I will be back in two days". Vanessa blinked her eyes, and got annoyed by her dodging behavior. "Where are you going, Marina?" she tried again. Marina faced her, and her eyes seemed miles away. "What are you? My mother?" she asked before she added "I'm just going to visit a friend". Vanessa wanted to ask who it was, but Marina turned around as if she wanted to make clear it was the end of their conversation. "Oke.." Vanessa mumbled, while she felt left out. How had it come to this point? The point where Marina didn't even tell her what she was up to! They were so close for years, and Vanessa felt their friendship slipping out of her hands.

Clara watched the ocean, as she was on her way to the studio. She felt excited and couldn't wait to see Marina again. It had been two long days since their evening at Chica's house. And now they were about to spent two whole days together. Although they had to work, she was delighted. Clara felt her heart race by this prospect. Yesterday she told Cadu about the shoot, and that it was not open for discussion. Although he was clearly mad, he didn't try to stop her. She promised him that they would talk when she returned. She kissed Ivan goodbye, and he had watched her with a gigantic smirk on his face. "Say hi to Marina for me", he whispered so his father wouldn't hear. "I will… See you in two days, my little angel".
One hour later Clara found herself at a place she least expected. She was completely surprised when they had arrived at the helicopter platform. Her heart skipped a few beats and her thoughts immediately went back to a few months ago. When she felt terrified on board, but she was a different person now. She felt completely safe in Marina's arms and enjoyed the view while they left Rio behind. She entwined her fingers with Marina's and remembered her words on their previous flight. "It's you! I've searched for you in all the woman I've ever met". Those words left her numb at the time, confused and scared. She didn't know how to handle her feelings by hearing those words. She shook her head and felt silly about her behavior at that time. Marina noticed her movement and looked deeply into her eyes. "Are you oke?" Clara smiled and caressed her cheek "Yes… I'm more than oke, love".
Clara's heart begun to race when she recognized their destination. Marina hadn't told her where the shoot found place, she wanted to surprise her. And she did… Clara's jaw dropped and she opened her mouth, her eyes searching for Marina's. Marina faced her with a bright smile and touched her face. "T… There is no shoot, is there?" Clara stumbled. "No", Marina replied softly. The helicopter went down and caused butterflies in Clara's stomach. "How did you manage to get us here?" she asked impressed. Marina giggled while she said "I've pulled some strings." She cupped Clara's face and stared at her intensely. "I want you to fully relax for two days, to take your mind of things. To recover, without worrying about everything". Marina paused for a moment, her eyes full of love."And don't worry… I won't force you to do anything. I just want what's best for you". Clara felt a tear streaming down her face and never felt more love for this woman than now, in this moment. She pecked her lips.
Marina raised her arm to help Clara step out of the helicopter. Clara picked her hand and felt the wind blowing threw her hair. She inhaled deeply and her body washed over with calmness. Marina knew exactly what she needed. And she never expected to return to this place. Their own private paradise… Angra!
After they settled their belongings and changed their clothes, they went to the beach. A perfect small beach, sheltered behind trees. Clara watched the wharf on her right and instantly recalled their dinner at that spot. Although it was months ago, it felt like yesterday. She had cooked dinner for Marina, and they drunk two bottles of wine. Her head was spinning that night, and not only due to the wine. Marina kept glancing at her with those intense eyes, which made Clara extremely nervous. When Marina had asked her if she wanted changes in her life, Clara answered she was born to be domesticated. She almost dropped her wine when Marina told her she probably wasn't aware of all the possibilities. Her mind instantly pictured her and Marina together and she lost control over her muscles. Clara's lips formed a smile, while she realized how much had changed since then.
Marina was laying close to Clara and she could feel the heat of her body. Marina only wore a bikini short and Clara found herself staring at her perfectly shaped breasts. She smiled shyly when she realized her nipples were raising. "I can feel you staring at me" , Marina teased. Clara giggled and sat up, while she was pulling at her bikini top. Her trembling hands didn't succeed to open it, so she stumbled "Could you help me out here, please?" She faced Marina's surprised eyes, while her lips were slightly parted. She leaned on her elbow and whispered "Are you sure?" Clara felt bold when she nodded. She was aware they were on a deserted island, so she wanted to give it a try. Marina's smooth hands had no problem with opening her top. "What have you done to Clara, you little bandit?" Marina smirked. She let her eyes slip over Clara's body and felt a shiver down her spine. "Swim?" Clara said with a unsteady voice. Marina pushed herself up immediately. Clara stood up aswell and they faced eachother with a huge smile. Marina pulled Clara into her arms, and shivered when their breasts touched eachother. As if she wanted to reassure her intentions, Marina whispered "No expectations, love. No pressure. Just do what you want.." Clara pulled her head back and watched her intensely. "There is no one like you.." she whispered and kissed her passionately. Her knees instantly felt weak. The kiss left them both out of breath and Marina picked her hand, pulling her towards the ocean. Clara suddenly realized how Marina had to control herself, all this time. And how much strength it had to cost her. She stopped walking, and Marina turned towards her. She faced her with questioning eyes. Clara cleared her throat "I'm not playing with you, Marina. Please tell me if I'm crossing a line… I know I can't give you my whole body… Yet." She blushed when she said the last word. "But I need to be close to you" Clara whispered, while she watched Marina closely. Marina's mouth formed a smile and she touched Clara's lips with her thumb. "I'm perfectly fine, Clarinha. Don't you worry… Every bit of you makes me happy". She pecked her lips and added "I need to be close to you aswell, my love". Clara watched her with teary eyes as she whispered "Are you even real…?" Marina giggled, and pulled her towards the ocean again. "All this waiting makes me want you even more.. So be prepared!" she teased and wrapped her arms around Clara, when they fell into the water.
