Ch. 2

Reunion

Fernando wanted to pinch himself. He couldn't believe what was happening to him. He had the love of his life, his love lost for over 40 years, in his arms kissing her passionately. They had both just found each other and fireworks were flaring up behind them. This scene was most romantic. A reunion worthy of a Hollywood love movie.

Fernando couldn't stop the contact of his lips with Ruby's, so she was the one who stopped the moment, because she needed to catch her breath, but above all, she had at least a thousand questions for Fernando. What was he doing here in Greece, working for the Hotel Bella Donna? Was it a coincidence, or did he know it was Ruby's daughter and granddaughter's hotel? What had become of him after all his years? Had he ever thought of her from Mexico? In short, she wanted to have a discussion with him. A discussion also on what had happened in Mexico in 1959. Their breakup, the departure of Ruby. They should talk about it. And finally, Ruby couldn't help but hope for a future with him. With Fernando, his Fernando. She takes Fernando's hand and pulls him to a small round table a little away from the crowd that had started to dance.

They were both seated, facing each other, holding hands on the table.

"I can't believe you're here in my arms. Ruby, I love you. I have always loved you. My heart has always belonged to you, it is yours forever. "

"Fernando .." she replied, her eyes filled with water, unable to formulate a sentence.

"I love you Ruby, I let you go over 40 years ago, I was stupid and regretted it all my life. Now you are here with me and believe me I won't let you go again. He continues with all the love in the world in his eyes.

"So, if I understand correctly, am I moving to this island?" Ruby continues with a touch of humor on her face.

"In fact, I won't let you leave me anymore. I'll go where you go Ruby. Unless you tell me you don't want me anymore. I love you enough to let you be happy, even if it's without me. It would break my heart of course, but I want you to be happy. So Ruby, are you willing to let me love you every day and love me back? Do you agree to pick up where we left off in 1959? "

"I love you Fernando. I love you so much and I missed you so much. Obviously I want. "

Fernando couldn't resist the temptation to kiss her, so he leaned across the table to reach her lips.

"You know Fernando, he will have a lot of details to work out, but I think I would be happier here than in the United States. I have a house in Las Vegas, I could keep it anyway, and we would have a foothold in the United States. "

"I love this idea, but if one day you realize that you miss America, I want you to tell me about it, I want you to be happy, not to feel like a prisoner. If you choose to go back to live in the United States, I will live in the United States too, because I would be happy anywhere, as long as you were there with me. "

"I feel like I'm in a dream. I cannot believe. You, here, in front of me, telling me that you still love me, that you never stopped loving me. But you know Fernando, we're going to have to discuss you and me. "

Ruby saw Fernando's face change suddenly, she saw the panic in his eyes.

"No, no, don't worry my darling, I love you and I want to be with you. We are going to be together, nothing will prevent us from being together, but we still have to discuss Mexico to start a relationship on a good solid foundation. And I have a ton of questions. "

"Alright mi amore, come with me, we'll be easier at my place. I have a little house on the beach. I suspect it's not as big and luxurious as your home in Las Vegas, but it's warm and we'll be just the two of us. "

" Excellent idea. Ruby replied sensually, to make sure he understood that she wasn't just planning on talking about Mexico.

They walked hand in hand on the beach. They were discussing while walking quietly.

"Why did you leave Ruby?" I know we didn't agree on the future, but we loved each other so much. Your departure broke my heart mi amor. "

"I was scared. I had never felt this, I had never been so in love with someone. When you told me you had to go fight for the country, I imagined the worst scenarios in my head. I saw it this war, they were talking about it on all the television sets. I practically even tasted it the night we crossed the Rio Grande. I was scared for you, for your life, and I thought it was better to have a breakup rather than mourning. I tried to convince you not to go to war, but you had strong convictions. And remember that night, we had a fight so hard. I was so angry. And when I told you if you went to war I wouldn't be there when you got back, you didn't change your mind, so I jumped on the first plane back to America. I came home with my heart broken to pieces. "

"That night I had a really strange feeling. And I didn't want to lose you, I hurried up to the downtown jewelry store. I bought a beautiful ring. And I jumped in a cab, headed for the airport. There was traffic in the streets, but once I got there I ran as fast as I could. I knew where the door for the Mexico-California flight was, and when I arrived, I saw that there was no one left, just the lady who checks the plane tickets before entering the room. 'plane. I asked him breathlessly to prevent the plane from taking off. She looked so confused, so I tried to explain to her that the love of my life was on that plane, and if the plane took off, I would lose her forever. And I showed her the engagement ring, telling her I had to ask you something important. "

Ruby was completely intoxicated with the story Fernando was telling her, a part of their story she didn't know. She was so focused on her love's voice that she didn't even realize they were stuck in front of Fernando's warm and well-located little house.

"Oh my god Fernando, what happened next? "

"The lady told me she was sincerely sorry it was too late, and she pointed to the large picture windows. And there, my heart stopped beating. Tears started to flow down my cheeks. I saw the plane, which I desperately wanted to pin down, take off into the sky. I had arrived too late. I have spent my life regretting it all. I could never forget you Ruby. I never could have imagined another woman taking your place. I have had a few adventures in my life, but only for the physical needs. Subconsciously, I was drawn to women who always had a little something that reminded me of you. For example, same hair color, same name, or same dress style. "

Fernando guided Ruby inside the small house and they settled on the living room sofa, hands in hands.

"So you wanted to ask me to marry. She said with her hand over her mouth, surprised, but happy.

"Yes, I thought about it from the first minute of our meeting. And at the airport, I intended to tell you that I am not going to war, you were right, and I wanted to get away from the dangers of war with you. And I obviously wanted to kneel down in front of you to ask you to become my wife.

"Fernando .." Ruby began with tears in her eyes.

He wiped away the tears and kissed her. The kiss was getting more and more intense. He pulled her off the couch, keeping in touch with his mouth, and guided her to her small bedroom. The room was a subtle but intense pale blue at the same time. A perfect contrast with the sea, visible through the windows. They sat down on Fernando's bed, never breaking the contact of their mouths.

Ruby, unable to bring herself not to end the conversation, broke the kiss.

"Fernando, it was my fault that happened to us. I was impulsive. I broke your heart. "

He gently pushed her onto his bed and hovered over her for a long moment, unable to believe it was real, staring at her lying on her covers. "You told me that I too broke your heart." he whispered, raising a hand to stir his face. "We're quits."

Ruby couldn't help but smile a little. "But if I hadn't decided to leave so quickly, we would have been together long before. And today we would be husband and wife for over 40 years. We would have a family, a house. You wouldn't have been so miserable your whole life. "

He moved his fingers down and traced her lips so she couldn't speak.

"You are so Beautiful." he said.

She let a small tear escape her eye. "Fernando," she huffed, "We're not done with our discussion. "

He brought his face closer to hers so that their foreheads were touching and an explosion of pleasure ran through them both. "Later." he said. "Right now, I'm going to make love to you."

Ruby opened her mouth to object at first, but once her words were entered, she fell silent and felt the butterflies burst inside her. She was completely weak when he said things like that. She leaned her head back on that pillow the second she felt her hands move up her legs, undoing her cream pants and pulling them from her body. He also took off the shiny top she was wearing, leaving her only in her underwear and jewelry, ready for him to conquer her body and find complete happiness in her. She stifled the moans that tried to escape him, wanting to listen to the sound of his body moving over hers like it was meant to.

"You are so beautiful." Fernando repeated, pulling her closer than ever and starting to make her feel indescribable happiness.

He slipped his hands into her panties and quickly found her clits. He gently massaged his buds already sensitive and swollen with pleasure. Ruby closed her eyes and enjoyed every moment. No one other than him knew how to touch her so formidably. She opened her eyes again and locked them with those of her lover, of her love. Him, he hadn't let go of his gaze for a single second. He loved how beautiful she looked when she was having fun. "Now my love, I am going to make you cum for the first time with my mouth, I need to taste you" he said to her in a sensual and romantic voice. She didn't have time to react, as he pulled his hand out of her panties, kissed her on the mouth before going to place him between her thighs. He pulled her black lace panties down, leaving her vulnerable in front of him. He sensually rubbed her thighs and kissed both of her knees. "Mi Bella Americana, I'll show you how much I love you." What happened to unhappy between us there is 40 years old, my love for you will never change." He said to him. A tear rolled down Ruby's cheek, it had been so long since she had heard him call her that. Fernando noticed this tear and wiped it away with his thumb, he knew very well who had caused this small tear. "Now is the time to make Mi Bella Americana cum" and he went down to stick his tongue exactly where it was needed to make Ruby's body react. He masterfully sucked on Ruby's clit, which made her moan more and more. He smiled between her thighs, he liked to be the source of her moans of pleasure. He swirled his tongue over and around her clit for even more feedback. Ruby was moaning louder and louder, the things Fernando was doing to her were heavenly. Ruby was close, Fernando knew it from the sound and vibrations of his body. He wanted to taste her all, he stuck his tongue hard inside her, because he didn't want to miss a single taste of her nectar which would soon flow freely. To add to the sensations, he swirled her clit with his thumb. Hearing Ruby moan like this, seeing her half naked lying in bed and knowing how to be the one and only responsible for the pleasure felt by this beautiful woman, was a lot for Fernando, he was struggling not to rub his bulge on the mattress. He needed release. He needed some attention below his belt. But what he wanted above all, was to please Ruby, to make her enjoy intense pleasure, to drink the essence resulting from the pleasure of the one and only woman in his life, and then, to enter his body, warm and welcoming. Ruby moaned Fernando's name loudly before saying "oh yes Fernando I'm going to cum, don't stop my love" and she came seconds later, much to Fernando's delight, he left no drops behind. As soon as Ruby recovered his senses and his breath, Fernando took off his belt, lowered his pants and his boxers to let his erection free. He placed himself between her legs, looked her in the eye and entered her slowly.

Everything that had worried Ruby a few minutes ago was now a complete nonsense. He had made her understand that no matter what had happened between them, as miserable as he was, their reunions were stronger. They were going to make up for lost time together and live what they always should have, but now all that mattered was the present moment. She wrapped her arms and legs tight around him, not caring about anything, plans or life in general.

Fernando buried his face in Ruby's hair as he moved inside her, feeling her body warm and smooth under his. Nothing had changed in this woman. She was still his weakness, his beautiful comforting weakness. Hers. And its light does had never died out because it still shone like a star in the sky.

Time did not exist and no worries were in sight as they consumed their love until late in the evening.

In the middle of the night, Fernando woke up with a start. He was lying on his back in his bed, staring at the ceiling. He didn't dare look next to him, or feel the bed next to him to see if Ruby was really there, or if that beautiful night of love had been just a dream. He didn't want to know. He was so afraid to realize that all was not real, that the whole evening of the night before had been only the fruit of his nocturnal imagination. He took his courage in both hands and looked beside him. His Bella Americana was lying beside him, naked under the thin blanket, asleep and peaceful. Fernando couldn't help but smile. He felt a sense of relief, it wasn't a dream, and it had all been real. He got up quietly, so as not to wake up the sleeping beauty in his bed. He didn't even bother to put on any clothes; he didn't intend to leave the room. He walked over to his chest of drawers with a specific purpose. In the first top drawer, a drawer he didn't open often. A drawer with old shirts that he no longer wore, but which kept, simply out of habit. He looked for a few moments, and felt with the tips of his fingers, what he was looking for. A charming little black velvet box with two gold lines on the top. He took the small box and opened the lid. A beautiful ring with a large ruby in the middle, surrounded by small diamonds and a slightly larger diamond on each side. A magnificent and very brilliant piece. Exactly the kind of Ruby. And the pretty sparkling ruby was not there by accident. This ring had been chosen expressly for Ruby, her Ruby, her Bella Americana. He had always kept the ring he had never had the opportunity to give Ruby. Had he kept the jewel, for over 40 years, in case he found the woman for whom this ring was intended or just as a souvenir, he ignored it, but one thing is for sure, he was grateful to still have it. in his possession. Still with the small open velvet box in his hand, he looked at his beautiful Ruby, asleep in his bed. He smiled and closed the box. He threw his thumb over the velvet top and slipped the box into the inside pocket of the jacket he intended to wear the next day. He was going to find the perfect moment to get down on his knees in front of her and ask her, finally, to marry him.
