A Guest left a review asking if this story was in Spanish. Because the comment is in guest option, I cannot reply in private but only through here.
"To guest, thank you for taking your time, even if it was just for a question that, if you would had read this story since the very beginning (chapter one) you would have found the answer by yourself. Still, here is a summary of what was written at the very top of chapter one: This is an original story from Tomoyo Higurashi. I am only the translator, I'm doing this because I have a friend in Philippines, and I know that she would like this story has much as I do but she can't read Spanish that's why. I'm making this translation with the full authorization from the original author. And as you most know all the characters don't belong to us"
There is the answer to your question. I hope you enjoy your reading in the original Spanish version.
Chapter 17
Normally, the trip to Autozam always left her exhausted, so much so that when she lied down and her head touched the pillow, she was out until the following day. However, that night Umi discovered that it was worthless even try it. She had already changed his position several times, to the point of becoming all entangled in the sheets and having to struggle to release the legs, but it was pointless, her body was screaming for a break but her mind had other plans. She could not stop thinking about the tournament's final and Eagle. He had been simply splendid. Several times she had held her breath during the fight, all for no reason of course, she knew too well that there was no reason to worry. The Commander was in perfect health, his abilities were undeniable and his determination remained as strong as during the Battle for the Pillar. Still she had been worried for him.
Umi smiled. This simply did not make any sense and it was not worth trying to understand it either. She decided to get up and go to the kitchen to take something to help her relax. She pulled a robe out of the closet and was amazed how warm it was despite being so thin, the autozamits really knew how to get the best of their raw material in fabrics, the texture was also incredibly soft to the touch and with a delicate design that she simply loved. The autozamits wardrobe that she got from President Vision was of excellent taste and gift that left her pleasantly surprised.
- So inadequate is my wardrobe that a closet full of new clothes was necessary just for me? – She had asked the President alarmed once she found out the wardrobe.
-Of course not, little one - he had laughed - But since you are going to spend here your summer vacation, is it? - The concept of stations still eluded him - Well, I thought you would like the opportunity to use something local. In addition, this will help us a little with the surprise - he winked at her.
It was true. They had both planned for Eagle to know nothing about her visit until shortly before the tournament final combat. Even Geo or Zazu had not known a thing. Umi could hardly forget the faces of the three when they saw her appear behind the escort of the president after he wished his son good luck. They didn't look like soldiers at all, a soldier should be accustomed to sudden situations like this one, right?! Geo and Zazu rushed to welcome her asking endless questions, before which she could only laugh and promise that she would tell them everything after the combat. As for Eagle, he was frozen in his spot with a serious face just his amber eyes were wide open, the only proof of his shock, was it true? How? When did she arrived?
-Aren't you going to greet me, commander? – She spoke to him, taking him out of his shock.
He closed his eyes for a moment and with a discreet smile on his lips began to walk towards her - Of course, Welcome, you are full of surprises, did you know?
-I promised to come and see you, right? - She returned her gaze without any flicker - And I hope to see a good show.
-Give it for granted.
While she was walking down the hall remembering this moment, she could feel a warmth sensation that invaded her heart and stretched for the rest of her body. – "How strange" - she though - "... but I like it" - Out of nowhere, her memory brought to her different smiles and looks of the young commander – "He is good looking that's for sure, but I think I had never before paid attention to his eyes" with her eyes closed she put her hand to her chest. "I really his eyes… like a lot" By the time she returned from her little daydream she found herself already in front of the kitchen. "Finally I learned to get here!"
She opened the door and the first thing he saw was a tall blond figure assaulting the pantry as if there was no tomorrow.
-I thought you had eaten until you burst in your room. – She exclaimed.
Eagle missed by little the hit in his head with the edge of the cupboard because of the fright. When he turned around, Umi immediately moved her hands to cover her mouth for repress the loud laughter that wanted to escape after seeing how a piece of cake was coming out from Eagle's mouth and his face was covered with cream. In the end, she failed to suppress her laughter, but at least she made it sound a little bit more normal and that at the cost of holding her stomach after so much laughter.
-Please, tell me you don't pass list in that state - she managed to articulate finally while wiping away her tears.
-Of course not - He got up and quickly wiped his face with a napkin - I thought you would be dead tired after the trip
- I am - and began to massage her neck – But I Just cannot sleep. - She sighed - What about you? Are not you tired after the tournament?
-With the rest I had while we were celebrating was enough for me - he explained as he took two cups from one of the shelves in the pantry. – I usually cannot managed to sleep after a final because of the adrenaline. Tea? Or, do you prefer something else?
-Tea it is fine – she replied while taking a seat at the table where he had left the cups.
- Without sugar right? - Umi nodded as he poured hot liquid – I do not understand how you can make delicious desserts if you hate sweets.
-I do not hate them. They are just not my favorites – she replied while taking a small sip of her tea to enjoy the flavor. -Mhmm ... Delicious, thank you Eagle.
-Thank you for coming to see me and support me - He smiled at her.
-I already told you that I would not have missed it for nothing - now the one smiling was she towards him - You really gave a very good fight, although I did not expect any less of you. The only thing I regret is that I miss the rest of the event- she was disappointed – Forgive me, I only made it until the end.
- But what are you saying? You gave me the best possible surprise - with his right hand, he touched the fingers of the young woman. He wanted to do much more than that, but stopped "Calm down, Eagle, slowly, she's not just one thing you can come and claim" he though for himself - It was really a boost to know that you were observing in the presidential box.
-Do not exaggerate. Even without me there, I doubt very much that you would have lost. You are awesome, did you know? The fingers of both were intertwining each time more and more – I would not like to face you in battle and I know of what I am speaking.
- Do you have to keep remembering that? - He complained.
-Sorry, I did not mean to make you uncomfortable - she looked at him sweetly - But ... it is impossible to forget an opponent like you. - She sighed - I really would have liked to see you in the rest of the tournament. Stupid final exams!
Eagle smiled more sweetly and if Umi have not been so obfuscated, she probably would have realized that he had directed a gaze showing his new and deeper feelings for her. But as a good military man, he had hidden it almost immediately and now he was taking a sip of his tea with his eyes closed.
-That can be fixed.
-Hey? - She looked at him confused.
-Come with me - He stood up and held out his hand. - bring your cup.
Without understanding very well, she did what he had asked and together they walked outside from the kitchen and down the hall. They continued like this in silence, until they reached the commander's room. He put his hand on the door to activate it and he stepped aside to allow Umi to enter. Like all autozamits rooms, the light went on as soon someone entered into it.
-I have a question - she spoke - how do parents do to see their children when they sleep without waking them because of the lights? It must be very uncomfortable when you are falling asleep and suddenly the light is on.
-There is a sleep sensor - he explained as he instructed her to sit on the bed while he took a flat device out of his nightstand drawer – If there is someone asleep in the room and another person enters, the light turns on only in a 15 percent. Enough to avoid accidents when entering, but not enough to wake up someone - he was already sitting next to her at the end of the sentence.
-I see.
-And now ... - He smiled enigmatically and shortly after the device began to project, first a light and then images of the stadium - I think you wanted to see this.
-Thank you, Eagle - she said with the sweetest, brightest face he had ever seen until that moment.
-Thanks to you.
