La Vida De Amor
Note From the Author: Hola amigos! It’s Audrey, I just wanted to say thank you for your support and your feedback. This story is doing so much better than I could have ever imagined and it’s all thanks to you! Muchas Gracias! On another note, please excuse all linguistic mistakes and grammatical mistakes that you may come across; also I absolutely Love feedback! Whether it’s good, bad, or even a picture of Antonio; it’s all fabuloso!
p.s. I had some writers block with this chapter so it took longer than my other chapters.
p.p.s. Just a side note, within the next two chapters there will be a sex scene (GASP) I know. Anyways, there will be TWO DIFFERENT SCENES. One will be for the shyer reader and the other will be for the more courageous (ie. Kinkier) reader. Read one, read both, whatever you please! The ‘endings’ will be the same and they will both make way for the same chapter afterwards. Just something to keep in mind!
Pura Vida!
Chapter 4 Alt
-Antonio’s thoughts-
Where am I? Is this…La Vida? Antonio quickly recognized the field behind La Vida, he turned slowly to see his childhood home behind him. He began to relax until a pair of little arms encircled his legs and giggled. He looked down to see a young boy clinging to his legs, the little boy smiled and jumped up and down. “Papi papi papi! Llevame!” Antonio bent down and picked up the grinning little boy, who stared back at him with (name)’s eyes. They were an exact match! Pero, how… After several seconds of pondering, Antonio felt another pair of arms hugging him from behind. Startled, he turned around and there stood (name)! You gave the little boy a kiss on the cheek and a big kiss to Antonio. You teased him by biting his lip and deepening the kiss, when suddenly the little boy started wiggling in Antonio’s arms. “Ewww! Mommy, that’s yucky!” Antonio and you both laughed and he put the boy on the ground once more. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he was off running with a soccer ball.
Antonio was completely enveloped watching the little boy run with the ball, until you stepped in front of him and kissed him. He was caught completely off guard, but soon enough he regained his composure and began kissing you back, Dios mio. Her lips are so soft! Your kiss began to deepen slowly, between you biting his bottom lip and entangling your hand in his hair Antonio’s self-control was almost gone. As he was about to start lifting up your shirt; Antonio was flung out of his dream where he awoke in your bedroom lying next to you. What was that about?
Antonio glanced around the room, based on the position the sun, He would say it was about 6 a.m, Monday morning. He groaned softly, he hated waking up on Mondays. That is, until he caught a look at your sleeping face. She is so beautiful. Your (color) hair fell slightly onto your face and your lips pouted as you slept. She is gorgeous during the day, but she is radiant when she is at peace…Your (skin-tone) complexion seemed to glow in the early morning sun; he just couldn’t help but stare and recall the previous night.
He had carried you home from the bar and laid you in your bed; but before he left, you had asked him to stay with you. He couldn’t refuse you, so he stayed… and you kissed him. She kissed me? He remembered in shock, it wasn’t his first kiss or first sexual encounter; but it was the most exciting and excruciating. It was the most exciting because in that short peck of a kiss, he felt your feelings, desires, and a spark that he had never felt before. It felt so right to kiss you. It was also the most excruciating because it took all of his might and willpower not to take advantage of you inebriated. Carriedo men were proud of being gentlemen and taking advantage of a woman was not a gentleman move.
He vaguely remembered his protective tendencies towards you at the bar; he did not want to leave your side. Even when Gilbert and Francis asked to play pool, Antonio refused. What if she had gotten ill? Or worse, some pervert tried to hurt her...I could not face her as a man. It was that moment that Antonio swore he would never let anyone hurt you. He made it apparent to you as well, “(name), I, Antonio Carriedo, swear that I will protect you.” He whispered quietly. You didn’t stir, she is a heavy sleeper, no? He smiled to himself at the sight before him, and quietly climbed out of bed and into the kitchen. She deserves a true, welcome to La Vida, experience.
-Your thoughts-
UGGHHH. My head hurts! You awoke to a deep throbbing in your head, which most likely stemmed from the massive hangover you were now enduring! What happened last night? You quickly remember getting really drunk and stumbling on your way home; that’s how you ended up in Antonio’s arms on the way home. You remember he laid you down; but you didn’t want to be alone, so you asked him to stay. You also remembered a kiss; not your first, but it was an amazing kiss. It was brief yet passionate; rawer than anything you’d ever experienced. Did he feel it too?
You turned your head to find that Antonio was no longer there; a pang of sadness struck through your heart. Maybe he really didn’t want to stay with me? Why did I even ask him…Suddenly, you heard some noise and smelled some glorious smells coming from the hallway. What is that? Your curiosity got the best of your hangover and sadness and you eventually rolled out of bed. You noticed that you were still in your dress from the night before so you quickly changed into your sweatpants and camisole. Following your nose lead you straight to the kitchen where Antonio appeared to be cooking.
Antonio stood in front of the stove, scrambling eggs while coffee was brewing and some kind of sweets were cooling on a cooling rack. His red shirt was completely unbuttoned and hung loosely about his frame, his sleeves were also rolled up so not to get food on them. His dress shoes were gone and replaced by flip flops; his dress pants were also replaced with some worn jeans that complimented his…assets.
Antonio looked so casually beautiful and you couldn’t help but smile. He must’ve sensed your presence because he turned around and gave you a charming smile. “Buenos dias chica! Como estas?”(1)
“Buenos Dias Antonio! Estoy muy bien, usted?”(2) He took the cooked eggs and put small portions onto two plates, he also placed two of the cooling sweets on each plate. He took a plate offered it to you with a seductive wink, “Muy bien” he gave you a kiss on the cheek after you grasped the plate.
Even though you had kissed him last night, you still blushed furiously at this simple kiss. To hide your face, you hurriedly began preparing coffee for you and Antonio. Once you had finished, you grabbed your food and walked towards the small table set up next to the kitchen. You waited for Antonio to join you, but he was still cleaning up in the kitchen, “ah chica, start without me! I shall be right there!” I should probably wait…But I’m so hungry…Oh what the hell, this looks too delicious! You began with the sweets first, they were long and kind of cylindrical. They were bread cylinders with a coat of sugar and caramel, this is delicious! Is this even a breakfast food? Antonio finished cleaning and joined you at the table. As soon as he sat down, he was instantly devouring his food. It was kind of amusing to see this very attractive man, shovel food in his mouth like it was his last meal.
Once you both finished, Antonio placed another sweet on your plate. “Thank you! But, what is it?” He chuckles and smiles “chica, you never had a churro?” What. Antonio sensed your confusion and explained “Si si, a churro is a custom here in Spain. We generally eat small breakfast and snack later, so churro is perfecto!” He held up a churro as a toast; You couldn’t help but giggle at the sight which caused a light pink blush to cover Antonio’s cheeks. You held up your donated churro as a toast as well, “perfecto!”
You continued eating and soon enough you both had finished your food. You wanted to talk about last night and what had happened, but your thoughts were interrupted by a cheery Spaniard. “Chica, would you like to go to la playa today? Los Leones are taking our last trip of the summer to Valencia. Quieres a ir?”(3) He flashed his charming smile that made your heart flutter, How could I say no to that?
“Por supuesto!” (4) You couldn’t help but smile, A Spanish beach? Hell yeah! Antonio laughed and ran his hand through his hair as he stretched. As he leaned backwards, his chest and abs flexed Oh god. His tanned skin glistened over his toned muscles and his arms flexed behind his head. The red shirt did a bad job of covering anything up, not like you wanted anything covered anyways! You stared as he stretched and then rested his gaze on you. Shit. He caught me. You looked away quickly and picked up the dishes from the table, you knew your cheeks were bright red.
Antonio, completely oblivious to your reaction, shouted from the little table “we leave at 8 for the train chica, meet me by the soccer field! I will go wake the team. Hasta Luego!” With that, you heard the shuffle of chairs and the shutting of the front door. Thank god he’s gone, if he’d seen me like this I’d never hear the end of it! You checked your watch, okay! It’s only 7, I’ve got some time!
With 20 minutes of that time, you called your best friend and told her all about Madrid. Starting with meeting Francis, Flashing Antonio, meeting the soccer team, flashing Antonio Again, and finally your night at the bar and sleeping with Antonio. “WAIT WAIT WAIT. You slept with him already?! I mean damn! (Name) I’m proud of you! Did you wear the goodie holders?”
“No! Not THAT kind of slept with! I mean we fell asleep together! He carried me home from the bar because it was hard for me to walk. And yes, I wore the goodie holders…” You mumbled that last part, but she heard you loud and clear.
“HAH! I told you they were HOT! Anyways, do you like him? I mean ‘cause if not, I’ll take him. I call dibs on that Francis guy too.” You both laughed “Well, I mean I think I like him?” You said “I’ve only been here for a little bit, I’m not entirely sure yet…”
“Okay girl, I’ll tell you right now. That man likes you, I’m half way around the world and I can feel it here! Don’t lose him (name)! There’s no one else I would rather trust my best friend with than someone like him”
There was a brief pause, “Don’t get me wrong, if he hurts you I’ll personally come kill him. But he’s got my vote!” You both laughed again, I really missed her. You continued talking until you knew that you needed to get ready.
“Okay okay I know you’ve got to go sunbathe on a beach somewhere with your fine-ass Spaniard! Love you girl, take care of yourself!”
“Love you too!” With that, you hung up the phone and began getting ready. If what your friend was true, and she wouldn’t lie to you, about Antonio liking you. There was no way you were going to the beach without looking gooood. You rummaged through your dresser to find a cute (color) bikini that accented your curves nicely. You also found an old sundress that (friend’s name) had given you back in freshman year of college, it was a simple (color) strapless dress that came just above your mid-thigh. It was shorter, but it clung to your body like glue. You put on some water proof make-up, sunscreen, flip flops and packed a bag with your towel and some clothes.
You were out of La Vida with 5 minutes to spare, it was a new record! You walked over to the soccer field and waited for Antonio and the team. You could hear a loud commotion from their locker room, so they must still be getting ready? At 8 a.m. on the dot, the team filed out of the locker room. In the front of Los Leones was Antonio, flanked by Francis and Gilbert.
The team walked right up to you, before they even reached you, it was obvious that Antonio had a bright red face and an embarrassed smile. Gilbert stared at you in awe, his bright red eyes were fixated on you and Francis gave you a kind smile and winked. But it didn’t matter, Antonio’s expression was all you needed to see to know that you looked good! Well, I look good! So why don’t I play it up a bit? You were in a bit of a flirty mood.
“Hola Antonio!” You towards him, quickly covering the distance separating you and you jumped and gave him a large hug. You made a point of pushing your chest against him as much as you could. It was obvious he was startled and not expecting it, but he quickly returned the hug. When he let go of you, his face was as red as a tomato and he uncomfortably shifted his swim shorts around.
“Hola (name) you look stunning!” He smiled “If you’ll excuseme” He quickly ran back into the locker-room. I wonder if it had anything to do with his shorts…Your mind flashed back to when you had seen Antonio and his…thing. Is that the problem? You stood there gazing after him as he sprinted into the locker room, soon enough Antonio’s spot next to you was taken by Gilbert.
“Frau, you look awesome!” He slapped you on the back.
“Oh! Uhm thank you! Do you know what’s wrong with Antonio?” You asked. Gilbert shook his head and Francis walked up “ohonhonhon I believe our little Tony is getting nervous no?” Francis glanced at me and winked.
“Nervous? What for?” What could he possibly be nervous about?
“We’ll see Ma cherrie! Now, let us begin to head out before we miss la train!” He shouted the last part so the rest of the team heard him. Slowly the team began shuffling towards the train station which was less than 5 minutes away walk. The team began walking, but you really didn’t want to leave Antonio…So you ran up to Francis, “You go on ahead! I’ll wait for Antonio!” He and Gilbert smiled, well Francis smiled and Gilbert kind of grimaced, and they began the walk to the station.
Should I go in the locker room? I want to make sure he’s okay…Yea! That’s what I want to do. You began to walk towards the door into the locker room, the closer you got to the entrance, the more nervous you became. A knot began to form in your gut, but you also felt…strange. Your lower abdomen and womanhood felt hot, as you approached the entrance and peeked your head inside of the locker room your breath became shallow and your cheeks flushed bright red. As you peeked your head in, you peered around the room trying to find Antonio. You could hear gasps and moaning from behind a row of lockers. Is that Antonio?
You tiptoed through the locker while following the sounds of moaning. As you got closer, you could hear what Antonio was saying. “Oooh, Dios mio….(name)…” WAIT. ME?! Antonio was grunting and moaning your name Right There. He had his back turned to you, so you could not see what exactly he was doing but his arm was jerking back and forth and his face was flushed with pleasure. You continued to watch him in fascination, the warmth in your womanhood getting hotter until your body ached. You were about to say something when Antonio’s breath became ragged and his grunts became deeper. His arm was jerking faster and he was gasping for air until he let out a loud moan and began to slow his arm down.
For several seconds, Antonio stood there and tried to catch his breath. There was no sound now in the locker room besides his breathing, Now I just need to slip out before he does…You started walking backwards slowly. But your foot got caught on a jersey and you fell back on your butt onto a bench with a loud THUD. As soon as you fell, Antonio whipped around and stared at you in shock. His emerald green eyes were wide and his mouth agape, his swim-shorts were unzipped and unbuttoned but you could not see his length, presumably because he had tucked it back in his shorts.
His face went from its normal tan complexion to tomato red in record time because when you had fallen back your legs had separated due to the bench. He had a full view of your bikini under your sundress. You knew he could see your bikini, but you couldn’t move. You were frozen to the spot underneath his emerald gaze. He slowly approached you, there was a different look in his eyes now. It was not embarrassment, but admiration.
Soon enough, he was standing directly in front of you on the end of the bench. He peered down at you and slowly leaned forward so his face was mere inches from yours. His hair tickled your forehead and a devilish grin grew on his lips. “Now chica that was not very lady-like, si?” His voice was huskier than normal, oh god is it sexy. You couldn’t move let alone speak, you were trapped. Antonio placed on of his hands on your cheek, you seemed to melt under his touch and you were no longer frozen. You slowly wrapped one of your arms around his neck and you began slowly pulling yourself up towards his lips while he was leaning down farther towards you. Then, it happened. Your lips touched and your entire body surrendered to him; you felt a warmth spread from your lips to the rest of your body.
It was a gentle kiss at first, it portrayed your desires and lust for each-other. Eventually, the kiss grew deeper and Antonio’s hand drifted down from your cheek to your shoulder. He gentle bit your bottom lip, shyly asking for entrance into your cavern. You were more than willing to allow him in and you opened your mouth. That opened the flood gates, it was a dance with no words but all of the passion. You were lost in him, time didn’t matter anymore and neither of you were paying attention to anything going on around you. So neither of you heard the door to the locker room open and footsteps approaching. Neither you nor Antonio actually realized anyone was there until a foot kicked one of the lockers lightly; not enough to dent it, but enough to scare the living crap out of you!
You and Antonio nearly jumped a foot in the air and turned to look at what made the noise. There stood a very very very flustered Lovino and a smiling Feli. “Loovviiii~! Why you do that? It was just getting exciting!” Crooned Feli, Lovino began choking Feli again “Shut up you dumbass!” He let go of Feli who was already pleading to be let go and Lovi turned with a very red face towards you and Antonio “ ‘scusi, Francis sent us to come get you. The train leaves soon.” Lovi quickly grabbed his brothers’ collar and dragged him out of the locker room. You checked your phone, it had been no more than 5 minutes since you walked into the locker room. Seriously?! That felt like hours!
You gazed up at Antonio who was now buttoning his swim trunks, once he was ready to go. He held out a hand to help you up, you grasped his hand tightly and pulled yourself up. Much to your surprise though, he did not let go of your hand when he began walking towards the train station. Once you reached the field, you were joined by Lovi and Feli; Feli could not comprehend what he had seen and was asking all sorts of questions. Neither you nor Antonio answered them, but you did steal glances towards each-other, you’d both blush and smile slightly. As Feli droned on, you and Antonio walked towards the train station hand in hand.
1. Good morning chica! How are you?
2. Good morning Antonio! I am very good! You?
3. Do you want to go?
4. Of course!
