CHAPTER 17

With a white shirt and black shorts, Leonardo was in his usual place to stretch and run. Everyone was already present and talking, while Leonardo approached, head down, and he didn't even notice, but he didn't know how to react around Marcelle. 

Jonathan guided the stretching, everyone stretched and pulled as Jonathan said the poses and counted to ten. Isabela looked very different, she dyed her hair, but Leonardo thought it best not to comment, she had a lighter blonde, almost white at the ends, it suited her well, but even so, Leonardo didn't say much about the case. 

Fernanda still had her hair done, it looked like it hadn't been messed up since dinner the night before, she looked almost like the same person, but now she was wearing clothes for running, in very extravagant tones. 

Marcelle was calm, she just acted like she always did, silent and observing everything calmly. She wore a gray shirt, and this time, she wore running leggings, without the classic shorts. Leonardo could contemplate the entire design of 

Marcelle's legs, it was a fabulous set of muscles that she demonstrated that she had. She was like a ballerina, and really, she had a ballerina air about her. 

The weather was perfect, the right spot to exercise, and that rain must have kept a lot of runners away, now everyone seemed to have come to run, it was super crowded, and difficult to stay next to each other. 

Even so, Leonardo, Jonathan and Marcelle seemed to be at the same pace, they ran at the same pace, and kept their eyes fixed on the goal at the finish line, they would still run four kilometers, to be able to keep up with Fernanda and Isabel. 

After all, it was a group activity, for both parties, they needed to look out for each other, and stay together that way. 

Leonardo's feet seemed to warm up inside his sneakers. The weather around him was very cool, but his feet were very warm, and they seemed to be getting hotter and hotter. And this kept him steady in the race, and by drawing air with more and more diligence, he was now able to overcome the physical pain, which is always present at the time of the race. 

Leonardo looked at Marcelle little by little, catching a glimpse of her body, and thinking about her voice, and the way she spoke and acted, every thing about Marcelle that was different from Leonardo, was attracting him more and more. 

The way she ran seemed perfect, as if she took good care of every movement her legs made, he seemed determined to win her over. It was at that moment that he saw that Marcelle was worth more to him than he imagined, he also realized that he liked her much more than he was showing. 

While watching Marcelle run, Leonardo thought about how to improve in front of her, how to make himself even more adorable for Marcelle and be an ideal boyfriend for her. 

And the race came to an end, at the four kilometer mark, they were in good spirits, and could even run a little further, but they decided to wait for Fernanda and Isabel. 

Jonathan seemed happier than usual, the run seemed to have done him good, he made some comments to Marcelle, and she laughed. The smile was spontaneous and slender, all Leonardo could do was watch. 

They went to the kiosk, and talked about these rainy days, and Leonardo didn't know exactly what to say, Marcelle kept a little distance from him, so as not to be in clear view of what was happening between them. 

Marcelle seemed to enjoy Jonathan's company, they got along very well, and she spoke enthusiastically around him, and Leonardo thought about some things to be done, and about not being able to kiss Marcelle, since she always took Isabela home. 

He kept thinking about it, and was content with just having this contact with Marcelle, and then going back home, and deciding what he would do next. 

Fernanda and Isabel soon arrived, and they drank the coconut water very quickly, they were much faster than normal, they were still adapting, but they were trying as hard as everyone else. 

Leonardo wished he had spoken more, and again, everyone said goodbye and went to their homes, and Leonardo was left with the same feeling that he should have been more participative, he sighed sadly, and went home, to try to organize some things, and tidy up. the room completely. 

As soon as he got home, he took a shower and changed into more comfortable clothes, he didn't plan on going out, he wore gray shorts and a white shirt, and looked at his cell phone and saw a message from Jane. 

She woke up very late, but she had sent a photo of the sun rising to Leonardo, saying it was an incredible experience, and that she should do it more often. 

The photo was spectacular, a lilac sky, and some shades of orange, it looked like the glow of the sky after a storm, without any clouds or buildings in the image. 

She left the house and went a little higher, saying that there were already some coffee shops open, so she bought a coffee and some sweet breads and waited for the sun to fully rise. 

After talking a little, Leonardo arranged to go to Jane's house the next day to help with some filming. She decided to record both videos for the channel on the same day and said that this time she really needed help. 

Now, he already had something in mind, Jane and Lauren were people that Leonardo had a certain ease in talking to, or he learned to expose his emotions to them, whatever the case, it seemed easier to stop him being with them. 

After arranging to go help Jane, Leonardo was going to his room, he needed to tidy everything up, and get rid of the old clothes that no longer fit, now he planned to start all over again, with everything new. 

After a few minutes of him tidying up, Marcelle called him. 

"Hi, how are you?" 

"I am well and you?" 

"I found you so quiet today, did something happen?" 

"Nothing at all, everything was fine, I just couldn't get into it." 

"I understand... and what are you doing right now?" 

"I'm packing some clothes here, organizing the wardrobe." 

"Ah yes... it's good too... I was thinking about eating something different today, I was thinking about calling you home, and ordering something, while we watch that series." 

"Today? Of course, that's fine with me, I've even taken a shower here, just tell me the best time to go there." 

"If you're ready, you can come." 

"I'll just change my clothes and I'll be on my way." 

Leonardo changed his clothes, put on something light, another pair of dark green shorts, and a black shirt, and went to Marcelle's house. 

. . . 

This time Leonardo went straight up to Marcelle's room, and he showed more confidence until he reached her apartment, and he wondered if she would receive him in the same way as last time. 

When Marcelle opened the door, she immediately pulled Leonardo inside, and inside the entrance, she gave him a long kiss, and pressed him tightly towards her body. 

She said she missed that, that she needed that kiss, and continued kissing Leonardo over and over, and stroking his hair and the back of his neck. 

She continued saying how delicious his mouth was, and how happy she was with his presence at that moment, she seemed very happy with Leonardo's company. And she was very comfortable, still in the entrance of her house. 

The house seemed empty, Leonardo didn't see Marcelle's brother, but she was pulling him towards her room, and as soon as they entered the room, Marcelle said that she wanted to give Leonardo a massage. 

They had still exchanged few words, but he also felt more comfortable this way, even though his body wasn't in the best shape, he liked the way Marcelle smoothed his body. 

She soon rubbed an aromatic oil into her hands, it had a scent of flowers, it seemed to be lavender, but it also had a strong smell of olive oil, and her hands were completely soft and were massaging Leonardo's body gently. 

Leonardo could only say how delicious it was, and how he had been wanting to kiss Marcelle's mouth since early on, these thoughts passed through him several times. 

She massaged, but also gave Leonardo little bites, kissed his neck, and his ears, and continued to kiss him all over his body, while she massaged him. 

Leonardo's member was already completely hard, yet Marcelle left him completely naked, and asked him to turn around, and she continued massaging his body completely. Leonardo let his imagination speak louder, and he already imagined several things with Marcelle, the massage was really good, but he needed to do something more, so he asked to massage her a little, and without saying anything, Marcelle just nodded. and then she took off all her clothes, and lay down on her stomach, so Leonardo could massage her. 

Marcelle's body emitted a natural fragrance that mixed perfectly with the smell of that oil, and made Leonardo even more excited about it all, he continued to massage Marcelle's body, and felt every part of her back, and her fibers, and everything felt softer. 

Marcelle's hips had a perfect shape, Leonardo didn't hold back, and soon started massaging her hips, and slowly passed his hand between her legs, spreading that oil, and caressing the inside of her thighs. 

Marcelle moaned, and trembled, while she didn't say anything, but just sighed and had expressions on her face of pleasure, it seemed that everything was going very well for her. After thoroughly massaging Marcelle's perfectly round butt, and massaging between her thighs, her legs seemed to have relaxed naturally. 

He started massaging her sex gently, very gently, making her release more tender moans, and saying that the sensation was delicious for her. Leonardo continued gently, and soon began massaging her clitoris delicately, and smoothing even more gently. 

He began to make circular movements and massaged her in a pleasant way, and Marcelle soon began to move her hips, as if searching for Leonardo's, and he increased the intensity, and soon began to massage the inside of her sex, and with his other hand, slowly pressed her clitoris, and seemed to massage the same part, inside and out, and after a short time, Marcelle, had a fabulous orgasm and Leonardo could feel the entire inside of her sex contracting, while her Her legs were relaxing. 

Soon after, Marcelle turned towards Leonardo, and asked him to kiss her, and so, he went towards her, and filled her with kisses, and pressed the back of her head tightly, and she soon felt Leonardo's member pressing himself tightly against her body, she just positioned herself with her legs open and in front of him, and said that she needed more, that she needed him. 

. . . 

A few hours had passed since Leonardo arrived at Marcelle's house, after taking a shower together, they decided to go to the living room to eat something and watch something, they needed to replenish their energy. 

He had already ordered a pizza to be delivered, so everything would be fine, and now he just had to enjoy Marcelle's company while they watched that Korean series. 

Leonardo ended up wearing the same clothes, but Marcelle decided to change, and was wearing more comfortable, and very sensual, pajamas. She didn't seem to want to leave the house at that moment. 

They were cuddling on the sofa at home, Marcelle still hadn't talked about her parents, and Leonardo thought it best not to ask, he avoided more emotional and perhaps sad topics. 

And the series continued, now the two characters were more honest with each other, and they talked about their feelings for each other, and this was causing more and more romantic moments, and fewer action scenes. Leonardo wasn't bothered by this, he was even happy to see those romantic scenes with Marcelle. 

The romance between the characters in the series was becoming more and more developed, and Leonardo was going down a similar path, but not the same, he was developing with Marcelle, but not in a romantic sense, and not even she seemed to be the type romantic, despite her liking the series. 

While the scenes on television were happening, the romance between Leonardo and Marcelle began to appear, still on the sofa, their mouths were constantly meeting, and kisses on the cheek, on the neck, a mutual exchange, they both seemed to like the same thing, and the same way of showing affection. 

Soon the pizza arrived, and they continued to watch the series more attentively. Now the police officer was closer to arresting the pursuers of the love of her life, and finally, they would be able to keep that relationship closer together, and increasingly, as it should be. 

As soon as they finished eating the pizza, Leonardo said that it would be better to go, as it was already very late, and Marcelle immediately said that if he wanted, he could stay and spend the night. He accepted, and soon kissed her again, and prepared himself for the long night that was to come.
