143 143- They Are Back, Rafael!
“I don’t believe you,” Marissa’s eyes again got misty.
Rafael cupped her check. “Why? Why can’t you believe me, Marissa?”
He then shook his head. She wasn’t in her senses and no matter what, he could never convince her for anything in this state.
She sobbed glancing down on her lap, “Marissa,” he held her tightly, “Why are you crying?” He kissed her wet cheek.
“M–may be because… I’m upset.”
“And why are you upset?”
“B…because…because… I still don’t remember what I’m forgetting,” she quit crying and closed
her eyes.
“This is something important and I…” she clutched her t–shirt in her fist that raised a little reminding Rafael that she was still wearing those panties.
He was on his feet abruptly making her look up at him.
“Where are you going?” She held his shirt’s corner.
“I’ll be back in a minute,” he said kissing her cheek.
“No. Stay here. No need to go anywhere.”
“Marissa!” he sat back on the bed and tried to free his shirt from her fist, “God. You are a
dinosaur when drunk,” He gave up when she didn’t leave his shirt and took it off instead.
Marissa watched his body in fascination, “You are going again?”
“I’ll go to the bathroom, take a shower, and be back in a minute till then…” he stopped when her jaw hung open.
“Now I remember. I remember everything, “she chuckled and tried to get up, “I need to pee. Oh, God. I really need to…. Rafael, help.”
Rafael again bent down and carried her to the bathroom.
He had turned his back towards her to give her some privacy.
“Are you done?” he asked her.
“Umm hmm,
“Should I turn around?” he inquired again.
“Umm hmm,”
He turned to face her but found her still sitting on the seat.
“Marissa!” he watched her in confusion, “You… want to take longer?”

“Nah! It’s just that… I need to get up and pull on the panties,” She giggled, and he smirked looking at her.
“Let me help you, he held her waist again and when she got to her feet holding the counter, he pulled her panties up.
“All set! Now come on,” he said after helping her in washing hands. This time she raised her hands like a baby asking him silently to lift her.
When he carried her back to the bed, her eyes kept wandering on his face.
“I never knew this side of yours,” she placed her finger on his cheek. Rafael was aware of what she was talking about.
For two years, she kept taking care of him while in return he couldn’t do the same for her. He still missed those days.
She had been a wholesome company to him. The meaningful conversations he had with her were ones, he could never have had with anyone else except Joseph.
“You know what?” she whispered, “You should go after your happiness, Rafael. Why get stuck with a lady just because of the kids? You deserve better.”
Rafael spread the quilt over her and kissed her forehead, “I’ll be back just like that,” he clicked his fingers, “And no. I’m not in your life JUST because of the kids Marissa. I wish I knew how to make you believe me or trust me. But kids aren’t the only reason.”
He moved back the black hair lock away from her face and tucked it behind her car, “You should go to sleep,” he kissed her lips and went to the bathroom.
With a big smile on her face, she laid back. That smile widened when heard the shower sound
from the bathroom.
His presence brought happiness. The room where Rafael used to be, got filled with laughter and
joy.
He was a natural talker and could be brutal when he wanted to be. Except with her.
Once she would be somber enough, she would visit a dietician to shed some weight. She wanted to feel sexy in his presence.
When he came out, the smile on her face vanished and was taken place by a look of astonishment. He looked so handsome with that towel around his waist that hung too
low.
She cleared her throat. F some reason, she had started feeling hot.
“Rafael!” her mouth moved but no voice came out of it because it had gone dry. The water droplets on his chest were running down and were getting absorbed in the towel.
She swiped her tongue on her lips and swallowed hard, “Your
body…” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
He was running his fingers through his wet hair when she pointed to his chest. He looked down and then frowned, “what happened to my body?”
“It’s… it’s…” she stuttered badly, “Why you didn’t dry it? My carpet can get wet!” her voice wasn’t
143 143- They Are Back, Rafael!
His eyes sparkled with mirth, “There is no carpet in your room, love.
Her eyes kept following him like a predator who was keeping tabs on his target.
“Yes. I know,” she retorted, “now look. You’ll wet the floor and… one can slip… anyone can slip… I can slip… or you can slip… our kids… they can slip too.”
She got quiet when saw him joining her on the bed under the quilt.
“Oh God! It’s too hot!” before he could say anything she quickly reached behind her and pulled
off her t–shirt.
“Marissa!” Rafael’s eyes bulged out in shock, “Stop!”
She was no longer listening to him. After getting rid of the t–shirt, she lifted her hips and took off her pantics, throwing them on the floor.
She sighed with a smile, “This feels nice!”
With a resigned sigh, he nodded and placed the quilt on her body. But then he couldn’t move when she glued herself to him.
“Mar! Honey! Little Greene!” he was trying hard to control the bulge in his towel.
Using all his strength, he pushed her a little and then wrapped the quilt around her, before taking her in his arms.
She was smiling widely like a silly ape, looking at the ceiling, “Go to sleep, Marissa,” he told her tiredly. It was the best for both of them.
“Tell you what. I’m not sleepy anymore.”
“Hmm,” he kissed her forehead, “then tell me what you saw that night?”
“Which night?”
“The previous one when you canceled our date. I know it was a nightmare,” she went rigid in her arms and then started crying silently.
“Th…they are back… Rafael…” she hiccupped.
“They?” his brows knitted, “Who?”
Her black eyes raised to meet his, “Valerie and Nina!”
