[Fanfiction] INQUIETUDE - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 - Crisis

Vanessa

People make mistakes all the time, right? Is it the intention of to get things right or just for pleasure? There is pleasure in wrong? I don't know ...

There is pleasure in fixing these mistakes which happen all the time. And there is still more pleasure in knowing that what you did was the right thing. Regardless of the damage you have done it. You did the right thing.

Errors are also committed for wanting to protect something (or someone) that is really important to us. I'm just the one wanting to fix a mistake that should have been prevented early on. Someone who wants to protect someone else.

Vanessa turned Marina's computer off and slid the rolling chair to where her purse was. The studio was silent. Flavia and Giselle had gone. Marina was in the shower. The redhead put the flash drive in the small outer pocket and looked at the clock. She would have time to go to the mall where studios that revealing photos in 1 minute were still open.

***

Clara awoke when a beam of sunlight hit her eyes. Despite the heat that the beam brought, she felt cold inside and the heart began to beat wildly.

She looked at the clock and saw that Ivan had lost the time to go to school. She shifted on the bed slowly so as not to wake the child and, even before brushing her teeth, she went to living room to see if Cadu was still on the couch. She was surprised when didn't find her husband anywhere in the apartment.

She went to her bedroom and took a shower. Looked at herself in the mirror wondering when was that life and the decisions had taken such an unexpected way.

Returned to Ivan's bedroom and woke him with kisses and caresses. She told his son that he could stay with Helena playing with the dog, and if Vergilio allowed, Ivan could play with scrap wood in his handicrafts. Radiant, Ivan jumped up and was brushing his teeth.

During breakfast, Clara watched her son wondering how would be his reaction when he learned she and Cadu no longer divide the same roof. And his mother was completely in love with Marina and she was willing to live that passion to the last drop.

***

- I thought Cadu were here - said Clara to arrive at the apartment of her sister.

- He went to Cultural Shed of Laerte - Helena replied with some contempt by uttering the name of Laerte - He said he needed to be there early to see if he could even open his restaurant there.

- Ah! - Clara was surprised to vaguely remember the conversations she had had with Cadu weeks before.

- As his wife thought you knew it, but the way ...

- Do you understand why I need to solve this? - Asked Clara holding the sister's wrist - I can't live in this duplicity anymore. I'm determined and I can't put it off, not after ... - Clara was reticent to remember the night before - I just can't.

- So, solve this situation! - Said Helena - Stop fooling Cadu and fooling yourself, sister.

- I'll solve - Clara replied somewhat altered - But Cadu seems to be feeling what is coming and flees.

Clara briefly told her sister about the previous night at her house.

- Go there in the shed looking for him. Tie him in the chair if you must, but stop to put it off!

Clara nodded and kissed his sister saying goodbye.

When Clara arrived to the Cultural Shed Veronica said Cadu had just gone out with Laerte. They had gone to a paint store, choose colors that would compose the walls of all Shed.

Clara huffed leaving Veronica confused. She returned to Helena's apartment and told her son she would go to the studio of Marina, but that she would be home soon.

On the way Clara called Cadu, but the connection went to the answering machine and then, feeling the rage warm her blood, Clara left the following message:

"Stop be childish, Carlos Eduardo. You seems a child who doesn't want to go home for fear of catching the mother. No use running away, no use to hide, it will be worse for you, for me and especially to Ivan. At 7.00 pm at home and I hope to meet you there. "

Clara still remained with cell phone in hand, waiting for an immediate response of Cadu.

***

When Clara entered the studio Marina had her back to the assistant. Clara waved to Giselle stay quiet and not denounce her arrival.

Clara softly glided her arms around the waist of Marina and breathed on her neck.

- Hi, my favorite photographer. - said Clara, now giving a kiss on the cheek of Marina.

Marina smiled, enjoying the moment and took a while to turn her body and face toward Clara. She gave a long kiss on her cheek and then a tender kiss on her lips.

- What a nice surprise! I thought I wouldn't see you today. How are things?

- In the same place - Clara replied moved of Marina and walking from one side to another - Cadu decided to play hide and seek. Surely he is thinking I'll change my mind in half an hour and say that everything is a mistake, or whatever ... But I left a message for him on the phone, today is the day. I don't wanna leave the house like a fugitive.

- Calm down, my love - said Marina, holding the hands of Clara - Everything will be alright and you will soon be free of this.

Clara agreed with a nod and hugged Marina.

- Do you have a lot of work today? You can ask anything you want me to do - said Clara.

Marina smiled and pulled aside Clara's waist.

- Anything that I want? - Asked the photographer, brushing her lips on Clara's lips.

- Hey, folks! Just wanted to let you know that I'm still here, ok? - Giselle said feeling the burning face.

Clara and Marina laughed with their foreheads together.

- Sorry, Gi. Your cousin is impossible - said Clara - I'll organize this table because it looks like a hurricane went through here.

Marina followed Clara to looki for her book of schedule and found a paper in yellowness.

- Uhmm, what is this receipt? - Asked Marina, analyzing the paper - is a receipt for photo printing ... Is your Gi?

- No - Giselle replied.

- Strange - Marina continued to analyze it. She decided to knead the paper and throw away.

***

Vanessa arrived a little nervous at the studio.

- Good morning to you too, Vanessa! - said Marina when the redhead came close - What are you looking for? Why this face? Will take your father from the gallows?

- Nothing ... just ... - Vanessa swallowed - I just thought I'd left the budget of the magazine here, but ... must be in my bag.

***

Later ...

Cadu had heard the message of Clara at least ten times. He still didn't believe that his wife would be willing to drop everything to live an adventure. That was an adventure. Better word wouldn't define it. Adventure.

The man refused to drop the lump in his throat. He wouldn't lower himself. Not in relation to that. Not with a big dream come true.

He walked slowly down the street and looked at the clock, it was 5:45 pm. He would go to apartment of Helena and would ask her to leave Ivan there until he solve the problem. He wouldn't let Clara go. He wouldn't let the marriage go down the drain. They were happy, they were a perfect family. They had its ups and downs, but they were still happy.

By placing his feet on the building the doorman approached of the future chef with a manila envelope in his hands.

- Cadu, a motorcycle courier left it here for you. Said it was to be delivered by hand.

Cadu thought this was strange. The envelope had no identification, but had a considerable weight. He fingered the package some more and then tore one side. Seemed photos. He pulled the papers out of the envelope and his heart fluttered leaving him breathless. An unknown wrath began to dominate his entire nervous system.

- Are you okay, Cadu? You look pale, I'll get ...

Not had time to finish what the doorman had to speak. Cadu was already into the elevator. Cadu went to the apartment of Helena and pressed the bell wildly.

- Oh God, what's happening? - Rosa asked on the other side of the door openning it.

- Where's Helena? - Asked Cadu, exalted.

Scared, Rosa gave space to Cadu entering and, before she answered, Helena came in the room.

- What's up? - Asked the sister of Clara scared.

- THAT! - Answered Cadu, throwing the photos on the couch - That's what's happening. Bet you knew this and was covering ...

Uncomprehendingly Helena caught some photos and then began to understand that storm.

- I don't ... - tried to say, but the photos got Helena numbed.

- She lied to me all this time - snapped Cadu - Liar. Traitor. Slut - shouted angrily.

- CALM - asked Helena - Bring a glass of water, please, Rosa. We will clarify all this, it should be all an assembly.

Cadu laughed bitterly.

Virgilio arrived minutes later and almost felt the tension of the air reaches him. Ivan and Benjamin accompanied him and Cadu was forced to control his hatred. Hugged his son and kept him away from the photos that were scattered on the couch. Virgilio looked at the sofa and her mouth formed an big O which he almost can't close. He gathered the photos and put them in the envelope again.

- What's up? - Asked whispering near Helena.

- We will find out shortly - Helena responded by typing in the numbers of Clara's cellphone.

***

The photos session was terminated earlier than anticipated. The studio was organized and all were tired. Marina took advantage o Clara's surprise and dismissed Flavia and Giselle. Vanessa who spent all day in a distant mood went to her bedroom without saying a word.

Clara was lying with her head in the lap of Marina and her hair was cherished by her.

- Whatever happens today Marina, I want my job back - said Clara - I fell in love with the studio, I fell in love even more about photography and I fall in love with you every day, more and more.

Marina smiled as silly and kissed Clara, giving her a Eskimo kiss, making Clara to smile.

- You have a knack for all of that, Clarinha. Just needed someone to show you this world - said Marina.

Clara got up and sat on the lap of Marina, stealing a kiss that demanded a lot of work from the lungs of both.

- I haven't stopped thinking about yesterday - Clara said between kisses and bites - I want you again.

Then, Marina pulled Clara to the floor of the studio and they continued to kiss as if the world would end the next minute.

Clara slid her hand all over body of Marina and Marina corresponded entering Clara's blouse with her ​​hot and provocative hand. The assistant rolled over the photographer, unbuttoning the shirt she wore.

Without patience, Marina soon touched the sex of Clara still covered by pants and yanked a hoarse moan of hers.

Clara was ready to open Marina's bra when she heard the cellphone ringing inside the bag. She ignored it.

Clara continued what she was doing. Marina breathed heavily on the lips of Clara and began removing her shirt untucked. The lightweight fabric slid gently up when Marina removed it.

Feeling much freer, Clara was down the body of Marina with her ​​wet mouth. Bit the belly of the photographer who trembled. Clara rose again to speak in the ear of Marina:

- I want so much to feel your taste.

Marina pressed Clara's waist and shifted her position throwing her down your body.

- Not before I taste you again - Marina shot back, entering Clara's pant and touching her sex over the wet panties.

Marina was preparing to unbutton her pants when Clara's cellphone rang again.

- I think you should to answer. - Marina said as she pulled Clara's pants.

- Should not be a big deal - guaranteed Clara, helping in withdrawal.

Clara pulled Marina over for a fiery kiss, but she was reluctant when she heard the cellphone's rings for the third time.

- I'll be quick - said Clara while moved out under Marina a little unsteady.

Marina followed her, insatiable, grabbing her from behind.

- Is Helena ... oh... Marina! - Clara chided her, worshiping the bites she was receiving - Wait! Let me see what my sister wants.... Hi, sister!

- Where are you, Clara? For God's sake come here now. Or will happen a disgrace.

Clara moved Marina's hands away and started walking aimlessly in the studio.

- What's up? It's with Ivan, he's okay?

Marina noticed Clara's expressions to switch between fright and concern and walked over to her. Despite feeling the horny warming her body, Marina stoped in front of Clara asking, with look, for an answer.

- Cadu is like crazy here. He ... - Helena was surprised by Cadu who was at her back snorting like an angry bull.

- Is she, is not? Tell her that I have discovered everything! - Shouted Cadu.

Virgilio pulled him by the arm and, then, Helena confirmed:

- He ... Cadu found out about you and Marina in the worst possible way.

Without saying goodbye Clara hung up the phone and held it to her chest for a few seconds. She was static. She felt the tears make the way to her eyes and her throat closed.

- What happened, Clarinha? - Asked Marina, pulling Clara into her arms.

- Cadu ... he ... - Clara was breathing fast and couldn't organize what Helena said - He found out about you and me.

- How? - Marina asked incredulously.

- I don't know ... I need to go.

Clara wore her clothes, buttoned her pants again and pulled on her sneakers. 

- Clara! Calm. I'll go with you.

- Don't! - Clara stopped in front of Marina, visibly worried - I don't know what Cadu is able to do. I don't wanna put your physical integrity at risk.

- He is not crazy to assaulting a woman, right?

- I don't know, Marina ... When people get angry, they can to change from water into wine. I don't want to risk. I wouldn't stand to see you hurt ...

Clara began to cry uncontrollably and Marina hugged her.

- I'm with you, my love. I told you we would face it together. And I'll not leave your side. I'll go with you, yes, but I'll be waiting for you  in the car, at some pub around ... I won't stand being here without news. Clara tightened further Marina into her arms and took a deep breath.

- Don't make me regret all this, Marina - said Clara, wetting the photographer's shoulder with her tears.

- Look at me - Marina moved Clara away from her arms and glided her fingers around Clara's eyes, preventing new tears to roll down - I'm here to you and for you. From the moment I saw you I wanted you to be the woman I want to spend the rest of my life beside. I rather die than be without you.

Clara smiled and fresh tears ran down her face. Marina held Clara's face in her hands and kissed her. Hand in hand the two left the studio and would walk together to the storm that was brewing.
