Chapter 3 – Liebesträume and dirty talks

Carlos e Jill were dining in one of the ship's restaurants. This wasn't the Nautilus, but "Neptune's Waters". They chose a table by the window. Unlike "Nautilus", there was no singer out of tune, but a piano and a great pianist. Jill love to play piano. She started learning when she was about 13 years. She liked to play Franz Liszt in her free time. When she plays piano, it seems like she is in a completely different universe.

Hanging out with Carlos Barry was like to go out in a date without knowing they would actually go out "on a date ". They were a little shy, and maybe is the reason why they were trying to deal that as a casual thing.

From their table, they could see the full moon. It was a beautiful scene to see. When the pianist began to play something on the piano, Jill immediately recognized the music. She opened well her eyes and looked to the pianist, who was far away from her.

- I know this music! I love to play this song.

- And what is the name of this music? – Carlos asked a little shy. He realized Jill was a classical music fan and he didn't knew much things about it. He could only recognize the 5th symphony of Beethoven and Blue Danube of Strauss.

- It's Liebesträume No. 3. It means "dreams of love" in german. It's from Liszt. I love him, I love to play his musics…- she said lively.

- So… you play piano and like classical music? Now that's something I didn't know. I think I was lucky to have chosen this restaurant.

- Luck is that guy is playing Liszt. If he was playing Mozart, I would be so bothered. I hate Mozart. He's so overrated for nothing… - she grimaced like if she was biting a lime.

- Really? I would never imagine that… In fact, I'm a little embarrassed for not knowing so much about classical music to talk with you – he looked to the floor as he ran his fingers in his hair.

- That's okay, Carlos. Actually, many people thinks I'm weird because of this.

- But this is not a reason for you to think you are weird. Oh, I remembered a funny thing… Once, when my cousin would celebrate her 15 years old…. Yes, brazilians girls celebrate their birthday debut thing with 15 years old, not 16… – his accent was sounding prettu cute – This cousin of mine wanted to dance a famous waltz in her party, but she didn't know the name of the music, neither the composer. Then , guess who asked for help? Yes, me! Because I was the one near her when she remembered of this music.

- And what did you do to get the music?

- Well, I went to a cd store and began to sing the music to the seller sell me a cd with that music.

- And what music is that?

- This one… - Carlos started to humming the music. "Panamnamanamnam, nam nam, nam nam, nam naaaaammmm" – It was Blue Danube. After I discovered the name, I never again forgot. Specially because in the day of the party, everyone had to dance this music.

- Danube is beautiful. I'm trying to imagine you waltzing! – Jill chuckled. She imagined Carlos in a tuxedo, with his hair full of gel and dancing with this cousin.

- For your information, everyone in the family had to rehearse this song! Only her friends of school didn't know how to dance and they danced all wrong. But the hardest part was trying to be in a tuxedo in a 33°C heat in the month of October!

Jill laughed.

There was an awkward silence and Carlos looked through the window. He saw the moon and said:

- We are lucky to be in this cruise during the full moon – Carlos looked to the pianist. He felt that the sweey music was a little fast now – Wow, the music changed a little, right?

- Yes… I have a strange way to interpret this music. I believe that the beginning is like the beginning of the dream, when your brain doesn't know if you are dreaming or in the reality. – Jill felt a little uncertain feeling if she would keep going on or not. She looked through the window and said – Then, when the music gets fast, I believe it's the part where hit the climax of your dream or… well, as it's a dream of love, it must be the moment you kiss the person you like… and then you put all of your emotion in the dream, wanting so much this be the reality – Jill glanced over Carlos – So, when the music gets slow again, I believe is that moment when someone wakes up and gets sad because everything was just a dream.

Carlos was looking to Jill while his both hands were on the table, with his left hand fingers crossed to his right hand fingers. She wasn't blinking his eyes.

-… And then you are happy to have dreamed something so lifelike, so realistic, but you get sad with your own reality – Jill finished her thoughts.

- It's a good interpretation. I don't think many people can interpret a music like this – he looked at her with pride and admiration.

- You know… When I was in the Spencer Mansion, in the mission where I, Chris, Barry and Rebecca found out about the secret laboratory of Umbrella, I had to play "Moonlight Sonata" of Beethoven in a piano in the mansion to open a secret passage – she laughed and ran a hand through her hair, thinking about it – Knowing to play piano helped me in my job as a police officer/member of S.T.A.R.S.

- I'm waiting for the day that knowing to play button football and knowing how to play a guitar will help me on a mission – Carlos and Jill laughed.

The waiter came and served a wine. Just after the waiter left to go to the kitchen of the restaurant, Jill said something in a skimpy way, but without losing eye contact.

- One day, if I travel to Brazil, will you show me how are the things there?

- Yes, I would. I could even teach you Portuguese if you want.

Jill and Carlos ate risotto with shrimps, and then they ate pavlova as dessert. They were a little tipsy because of the wine. Carlos was walking on the ship's deck, holding Jill's wrist. Then she remembered of the karaoke challenge and pulled Carlos in the opposite direction. They both took the elevator and tried not to laugh all the time.

- What that wine was made for? I feel like I drank some drink to laugh – Jill said.

Carlos leaned back against the elevator wall and laughed out loud with a hand on his belly.

- Drink to laugh… Imagine if there's a drink for that?

Jill and Carlos were with a glass of "caipirinha" in their hands, a Brazilian drink that Carlos got happy to see selling in this ship. He asked to Jill drink it slowly, because he know that all his foreign friends who drink caipirinha, end up taking 10 glasses just once. They were holding a microphone in their own right hands, and the glass of caipirinha in their left hands. There was a black straw in the drink and a slice of lime stuck on the edge of the glass, which was matching with the green color of the liquid. They were drinking cachaça, lime juice, sugar and ice.

On the screen of the karaoke, they were singing "Talk Dirty to me" by Poison. Despite Carlos had lost the poker to Jill, he was better than Jill while singing. Jill couldn't follow the music rhythm. While Carlos was singing, his accent was getting stronger. And he liked to say "talk dirty to me" with his face very close to Jill's. His face was so close to hers that she felt her cheeks getting pink.

They turned away from the karaoke stage while people around were clapping and laughing of them. They sat on a table. The caipirinha glasses were empty now on the table. Although they were happy because of the drink and the song, they still was conscious.

- Explain me something… How do you know this song? – Jill tried to stay serious.

- An uncle of mine has a cd full of old songs and he used to listen all the time. I kinda learned the lyrics – sitting on the blue sofa, Carlos got closer to Jill and he touch his shoulder to hers. – So… Posso te beijar agora? – Carlos asked in Portuguese and Jill didn't understand.

- Sorry, Carlos, I didn't understand anything! But let me guess… Are you a Kiss fan?

- No! That's not what I said… But I guess you will never guess – Carlos lowered his face and said:

- Você não tem ideia de como é perfeita, Jill Valentine.

Jill felt her cheeks burn. She knew Carlos was flirting with her.

- It's not fair to flirt a woman in another language and don't say the translation – she did an angelic face to Carlos.

- I will only translate if you give me a kiss.

Jill put her right hand on her face as she tried to hide her pink cheeks. Carlos was just waiting. She wanted so much to kiss him. She turned her face to Carlos and he quickly put his lips on hers. And then, their tongues met each other. Jill put her left hand on his face. It was the first time Jill was kissing a foreign, and she could notice the difference by the kiss.

After the kiss, Carlos said:

- I said "Can I give you a kiss now?" and then I said "you have no idea of how much you are special". Okay, now I was fair.

- Shhh… - Jill shushed Carlos and kissed him again.

When they left the place, they went to the deck. They stopped and leaned against the side of the ship, looking at the wild blue that was mixing with the darkness who was further, but everything was broke with a pale blue moonlight. Jill leaned her head on Carlos' shoulder and she was laughing nonstop.

- You know what would be weird? This ship getting infected with the T-virus and we would be the only ones uninfected. Imagine being in the middle of the sea and stuck on a ship full of zombies! – She felt tears trickling down her face of so much laughing.

- Sorry, but I don't see where this is funny! Unless if you are talking about zombies with floral shorts and flip flops.

- I don't know why I said that – Jill stood in front of Carlos and put her hands on his shoulders. - I have to say I underestimated you when I met you. Seriously… I thought you were cocky. How do you tell a girl that she wants to ask you out in the middle of a city full of monsters?

- I thought I would die sooner or later because of the big monster. And as I met you and I thought you were gorgeous, I decided to say that. But when we took the helicopter, after we were rescued, I felt a little ashamed of what I said! – Carlos hugged Jill's waist and gave kisses on Jill's neck.

- Carlos, if I ask you something, would you do?

Carlos stopped kissing Jill and raised an eyebrow.

- That depends… what do you want?

- Sing "Girl from Ipanema" to me.

- No, Jill…

- Please! Pretty please!

Carlos stared at Jill, his stare was saying "are you sure you want me to do this?". And then he began to sing… "Tall and tan and young…"

- No! In Portuguese, please.

Carlos looked down, sighed, lifted his head and began to sing again.

- Olha que Jill mais linda, que Jill cheia de graça, é ela menina, que vem e que passa no doce balanço a caminho do mar.*

- Carlos, you are changing the lyrics!

- Jill do corpo dourado do sol de Ipanema, o seu balançado é mais que um poema, é a coisa mais linda que já vi passar.* - Carlos felt Jill give a pinch in his belly and stopped to sing just to laugh. – I'm sorry, but I couldn't help changing the lyrcis Just to put your name on it. This song suits to you, do you know that?

Jill and Carlos left the deck and went to the corridors of their rooms. They felt that the effect of wine and caipirinhas was still on them, but it was a little weak.

- And now, where are we going? Jill asked as she looked at the door of her room, and then looked to Carlos bedroom door.

- We can still go to the last level of this ship and act like if we are actors from Titanic – Carlos laughed out loud of his own joke and took Jill's bedroom door while holding her hand.

- I have a better idea. You already know my bedroom. Let me see yours now.

She pulled Carlos into his room. They opened the door and Jill saw that his room wasn't so much different from hers. Same positions of furniture, except the colors of the room. This one has more green and black colors. She walked to the round window of the room and leaned the side of her body against the side of the closed window, with her arms crossed.

- Before I forget… Let me ask you: Did you like the night we had tonight? – Carlos asked as he approached the television, looking to Jill and the rounded window.

- Of course, Carlos.

- Good, because I don't plan to sing in the karaoke again!

Jill looked to Carlos and couldn't help laughing

- Seriously! We took the elevator to come here and one of the people in the corridor recognized us! And, look, this ship is huge! I think we will be the talk of the ship.

- You're just complaining because you lost at poker and sang a song of the 80's in one night! Relaxa, lindo.

- Hey, where did you… - Carlos interrupted by Jill who approached him and kissed him. She pushed him to the bed and started to unbutton his shirt.

They rolled through the bed while they were touching each other in parts that weren't touch of them before, such as belly, thighs, backs… Carlos grabbed the zipper of her dress and pulled down very slow. Jill made sure she would take 30% of his clothes before get out of her dress. Carlos grabbed Jill's hair and he was kissing non-stop, while his hands were doing other things. It was like he wanted to paralyze her with his kisses.

In few minutes they were both naked and satisfying each other pleasures.
