CHAPTER 13

It was already past four in the afternoon, Leonardo thought that maybe he should call Marcelle, but he wasn't really sure, he didn't know how to proceed with this matter. He was now in the comfort of the sofa at home, he had already taken off his clothes that were covered in rainwater and had taken a nice, hot shower. He looked at some old videos of Jane, now that he had more contact with her, he saw her work with new eyes. 

And in one of the videos, a person says how much she loves when her boyfriend suddenly calls and says he loves her and misses her. That was the perfect cue for Leonardo to act in the same way. But he was still unsure. He walked around the house, cell phone in hand, thinking about what to say, if he should say anything. Or if he waited, she would call. 

While he was making tea to try to lighten his mood, a message reached him, he was surprised, but happy. 

"Hi how are you?" Marcelle spoke, via message. 

"Everything's ok, I left in the morning for work, but now I'm at home, looking at the rain falling through the window." 

"I'm already home too. I could barely sleep, but everything went well at work." 

"I didn't sleep very well either, I got up early." 

"Have you had lunch yet?" 

"Yes, I ate Japanese food, I'm not a big fan, but it went well." 

"Ah... I was thinking about going out for something to eat, I had a tight deadline at work, and I only ate a cereal bar." 

"I can accompany you, I know some great places, just tell me what you prefer to eat." 

Things were going beyond Leonardo's expectations, he didn't expect that. I was counting on a phone call, or a video call, as everything was very strange in that rainy weather. 

"But I'm not sure if I'm going to go out, the weather is a bit strange, and now everything is jammed up, the traffic is very complicated." Marcelle said. 

"I can meet you at your house, and we'll go somewhere nearby, then we can walk there and back." 

"Yeah, I think it might be, can you come now?" 

"Yes, I can, I just took a shower, I'm just going to put on some clothes, and if there's no traffic, I'll be there in about twenty minutes." 

"Okay, there's no need to rush, I just arrived, I have to pack some things." 

"Um... so, I'll prepare better here, and I think I'll arrive at your house in thirty to forty minutes." 

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you." 

Leonardo was electric, he started breathing faster, and sat on the couch to relax, and put on a Rihanna song to relax, and then thought a little about what he was going to do. He thought about what clothes he would wear, even though it was raining, it was still very hot, maybe it should be shorts and sneakers. He put on a long-sleeved sky blue shirt, folded it up to just above the elbow, and wore twill shorts that went above the knee, as he was tall and had long legs, it suited him. 

He brushed his teeth well, his hair was very short, but he still used a brush to give it shape. The sky blue shirt stood out well against Leonardo's dark skin, it gave a more relaxed look to his image, he felt more confident that way. He wore white all-star sneakers and a brown bracelet. And soon he ordered a car from an app. 

When he was in the car, on the way to Marcelle's house, he realized how important it was to use shampoos and conditioners with the same essence as the perfume, it seemed that that smell was all over Leonardo's body, even permeating his clothes. He looked at his cell phone from time to time, but he didn't have any new messages from Marcelle. 

The traffic was very complicated, very stopped, he knew it would be bad, but it was a little further than imagined. The lights of the cars formed patterns on the glass. The raindrops were scattered across the window pane, making everything look melancholy and romantic at the same time. Leonardo knew he had to rehearse something about what to say, what topics to talk about with her. But the dialect he thought of was only about kisses, and about the body. 

The car stopped right in front of Marcelle's building. It took him just over forty minutes, but everything was fine, he didn't want to put pressure on Marcelle, himself, he was very nervous about it all, but he knew that other people weren't like that, like him. 

The rain was very heavy, it really rained all day, practically. It fell slowly, and almost at the same pace. Leonardo leaned against a place to protect himself from the rain, as soon as he was away from the water, he called Marcelle. 

"I've arrived, I'm in front of your building, I'm waiting for you outside." 

"Out there? In this rain? You can go up, let's wait for this rain to subside a little" 

"Okay… I'll go up." 

As soon as Leonardo arrived in front of Marcelle's apartment, he became extremely nervous, again, his heart accelerated and beat faster. He looked at the details on the wall, a painting with a beach, in the hallway, caught his attention, he looked around 

he looked at the painting for a few moments, sighed firmly, then continued towards Marcelle's apartment. 

As soon as Marcelle opened the door and Leonardo saw those two brown eyes, staring at him, all the nervousness went away, he calmed down completely, all the discomfort was gone. And he relaxed. She closed the front door a little and approached Leonardo and gave him a kiss. It was surprising and pleasant. 

A good perfume came from Marcelle, Leonardo felt completely at ease after that. Marcelle's brother was in the living room, he was watching some action movie, with lots of gunshots and explosions, he barely looked towards Leonardo, just saying a simple "Hi" without practically taking his eyes off the screen. 

Leonardo was now in Marcelle's room, and everything was different. Everything had been organized, it was cleaner, more organized, everything was a little different from his memories, despite being all the same. The table that Marcelle used to draw and perhaps work, was without any paper scattered around, but there were still drawing books on the corner of the table. 

The room had the same perfume that came from Marcelle, it was completely sweet to the senses, and made them awaken, little by little, rekindle the light between thoughts, Leonardo's eyes moved gently and slowly around the room, but, the subject more importantly, he was very close to him, Marcelle. 

He didn't say anything about her brother. She was wearing more comfortable clothes, a light pink sleeveless shirt, and shorts that went to mid-thigh. She just said that she was cleaning the room, organizing everything, but she had already finished, she still needed to take a shower. He could be more comfortable, there was a television in the room, he could watch whatever he wanted. 

He knew that Marcelle liked samba, so he put some Brazilian groups to play. He included some older ones, from the nineties, more or less, they were the groups that he at least knew some songs about. 

Leonardo listened to a little Exaltasamba, knew some songs, and as he listened to the fast rhythm of the samba, he thought about whether it would be the same as before, whether Marcelle would get dressed in front of him again, whether he would see more stunning views of that body. And the music was playing, some very old clips, and Leonardo no longer paid attention to the lyrics, he just thought about Marcelle, he imagined her going towards him, and hugging him, in the same way she did at the entrance, he wanted to experience that from new. 

Marcelle entered the room, she was already dressed, she was wearing short, black shorts, the same size as those white shorts, but they had a few more details, a black, sleeveless, short t-shirt, and her hair was wet, she said she would still go tidy them up. 

She asked Leonardo to sit on the bed, while she used her chair and table, she started to fix her hair, she wanted to put some clips on the side. That scene was very reminiscent of the moments Leonardo had with Jane, earlier, but even though many details were different, he preferred what was in front of him at that moment. 

Marcelle has a natural, caring, calm and peaceful face, but she doesn't seem so calm and calm, she makes some strong faces sometimes. She has a flame inside Marcelle, which shines silently, and this attracted Leonardo, he wanted, at any cost, to hug her again, and have more moments of passion, by her side. And again, he remembered, Marcelle coming to meet him, at the door of her apartment, the hug, and the kiss that Leonardo received. 

"So you like music like that?" Marcelle asked. 

"Like this? This is also samba." 

"It's pagode, and it's very old, from the time when I was a child." Marcelle said, and laughed a little. 

"But… you don't like pagode?" 

"Yes, I like it a lot... but I prefer something more modern." 

"So I don't know, I don't know anything about these modern pagode groups, you can put on some songs, the good thing is that I'll get to know new things too." 

"I'll put on one of Rust, you'll love it." 

Marcelle changed the video, removed Exaltasamba and put on Ferrugem. And the song began "...And when my gaze found yours, I discovered that it was worth waiting for you, and in that second I think the world even stopped to sigh...". Ferrugem's lyrics really touch the soul, Leonardo is used to more emotional lyrics, but Pagode was the icing on the cake. 

While the music was present in that room, Marcelle sang loudly, knew the lyrics of the song well, and seemed to be very comfortable in Leonardo's presence. She continues to sing loudly, and those romantic songs were hitting Leonardo hard. And that desire to kiss Marcelle grew. 

While Marcelle was more concerned about singing than fixing her hair, Leonard slowly walked over to her, and gave her a hug from behind while she was still sitting in the chair, he closed his arms a little around her chest, in front of her, she made a brief silence, then, she placed her hands on top of Leonardo's hands, and when his arms met each other, Leonardo gave Marcelle a kiss on the cheek, then another, and then, he moved away a little Marcelle's hair on her face, and gave her another kiss, on her neck. 

Marcelle's hands closed tightly against Leonardo's hands, as if they were hugging them, curling their fingers, and remained silent, while Leonardo was still kissing her, she tilted her face a little, and relaxed, completely, sighing softly, she caressed Leonardo's face with her own face, and enjoyed every kiss that Leonardo gave her. 

Leonardo pulled his arms a little, removed them completely, then turned Marcelle's chair, they were with their faces at the same height, and a few centimeters away, their eyes focused on each other, their gaze firm, and silent, while the music made those emotions grow. 

They were wearing different clothes, between one and the other, Leonardo, with lighter clothes, and a strength, at that moment, that made him overcome his own shyness, Marcelle, dressed in black, showed all the confidence that she had stored inside her, they were different people, looking from the outside, but there were many dots connected, and one of those dots was completely connected. 

It was a soft kiss, but it wasn't so gentle, it was strong, rustic, the lips were thirsty, for that contact, for that sensation, it was a kiss that demonstrated their desire for each other. 

Leonardo felt many things for Marcelle, and he showed it through the kiss. She wasn't holding back. She showed delicacy and strength, a commitment between her lips, she pulled Marcelle's lips with gentle force, massaged her neck with her other hand, and she acted with the same intensity, as if she were completely living that moment, she felt He gave in to the desires he felt, he loved Leonardo's mouth, and he liked it even more, at that intensity. 

They were already acting naturally, one under the other, they were already acting more intimately towards one another, and this naturalness was causing a total avalanche of emotions under both of their bodies, Leonardo pulled Marcelle up, she stood, leaning against his body of him, and she opened some buttons on Leonardo's shirt, and his perfume filled the room, even he could smell it, and she acted with even more desire, and more passion, covering his entire mouth with kisses, and feeling his pulse from his heart, through the palm of his hand. 

She hadn't finished fixing her hair yet, and Leonardo was already completely messing it up, he loved feeling Marcelle's body, he wasn't much of a talker, but he acted a lot, massaging Marcelle's neck, and then kissing her neck again, He acted like this, as if it were something natural in his life, on a daily basis. 

Marcelle also seemed to massage Leonardo's body, in her own way, her hands passed everywhere, all over Leonardo's upper part, he felt Marcelle's touch, passing from one side to the other, but she liked to leave her hands and the body resting on top of Leonardo's body. 

He had his hands under Marcelle's waist, and he slowly moved his hands up inside her shirt, giving small massages and squeezing her side, while he continued to move his hands, he moved his hands up a little. more behind her back, and he soon realized that she was without a bra, so he separated his lips from her mouth, and started kissing her neck again, and with his hands, he started massaging her breasts again. 

Marcelle was completely relaxed, she moaned a little, without being intimidated, she ran her hands over Leonardo's back, and scratched a little, she was burning with passion. And Leonardo's massage was great, she felt very good, and seemed to be losing strength, and continued to cause small scratches on Leonardo's back, he, noticing Marcelle's passion, decided to lift Marcelle's shirt, and began to kissing and sucking her breasts. 

They were very beautiful, the ideal size for Marcelle, very beautiful, the nipples of her breasts were already very firm, and Leonardo enjoyed himself while he sucked them. He felt the softness of Marcelle's body, and her smell was great, and she positioned herself a little back, and stopped scratching Leonardo's back, and began to massage his head, lovingly, while he enjoyed himself. With her breasts. 

The music had changed a few times, it was playing some pagode that Leonardo didn't know, but it filled that moment well, it helped to raise the flames of passion. He continued massaging Marcelle's breasts with his mouth, and his hands continued moving, he went with his hands to Marcelle's hips, and squeezed them firmly, Marcelle's butt was perfectly round, it looked like Leonardo's hands They had found a house, he continued to massage Marcelle's butt, and she continued to massage his head. 

After another change of music, Marcelle lifted Leonardo's face towards his face, and gave him a big kiss, very strong, and transmitting great excitement, Marcelle took Leonardo to the bed, she threw him lying on the bed, and then After he removed her shirt, her body was completely breathtaking. 

Leonardo was surrendered to that scene, he was completely exposed, and he could only keep his eyes on Marcelle, he couldn't even think about himself, she was completely in shape, he was very overweight, so he tried to push away the thought about himself and focus only on Marcelle, and her forms. 

She now took off her shorts, in a very sensual way, and slowly, with her gaze fixed on Leonardo's body, and began to feel a little more intimidated, but the vision he had of Marcelle was like the light of a candle taking him away from the darkness of insecurity. 

She was just wearing panties, black, with lace, it had some details, and a beautiful shape. She climbed onto the bed, moving on top of Leonardo, she laid her body on top of his body, and gave another kiss, very wet, like the rain that fell outside the building, hot, as if the heat of her body had completely raised to her lips, and strong, as if Leonardo's lust was also her lust. 

She, still on top of Leonardo, removed his shirt, now, she kissed Leonardo's dark skin completely, filling each part with kisses, it was a very delicate and soft sensation, Leonardo had not felt that way before, and she kissed him for everywhere, and massaged Leonardo's side. Marcelle's smaller hands made everything feel more sensual for Leonardo, he was very far from his comfort zone. 

Marcelle removed Leonardo's shorts, and threw them to the side, continued kissing his entire body, and he already felt completely special, given that situation, and she was straddling him, still in her panties, and moved her hips a little. , like a massage, and again, he lay down under Leonardo and kissed him, completely surrendered. He moved his face away from Marcelle a little, looked closely at the expression on her face, and her brown eyes were already like autumn leaves, and were burning with embers, he gave her another kiss, and then...
