UNTIL DAYLIGHT

4.

Think about the shadows you hold

inside a hug.

I had returned from work a few minutes ago and it seemed that there was silence in the house. I thought back to the match the night before, and I wondered how I had managed to win, when I was about to give up at the very end.

I thought that, perhaps, I should have given up this sport, maybe I was not suitable to play it for my small build. As much as I might have strength in my arms, my legs tended to give out.

"Mirko, did you hear Milena?" Mario asked.

"When you call her Milena it's because you fought. No, anyway! What happened?" I asked as I took off my shirt.

"I hate it when she doesn't listen to me and makes her mind up! She hasn't even come home, I don't know if it's from Cecilia, or from some of her friends. I was hoping she was with you, honestly .." room.

He kept peeling the skin around his nails nervously.

"I told you I was late for work today, she couldn't be with me! I'll try to call her if you like, maybe I'll go get her." I shrugged, taking my backpack and looking for my cellphone among the various junk in my pocket.

Mario stood there, watching me as I initiated the call. He rang a couple of times and then the answering machine went off.

I tried one more time.

Secretariat.

"f**k! As soon as he answers I'll tell him four!" He exclaimed, angrily.

"Mario, I'll talk to her, don't always treat her like s**t! Ask yourself why she has certain behaviors with you, if you do this .." I snorted, putting my shirt back on and leaving my room.

Mario didn't answer me, he muttered to himself, shutting himself in his room.

Milla:

Mirko I'm in a B & b, I don't want to

see Mario.

Will you join me?

I answered with an 'ok', and recovering the necessary things, he left the house.

You:

Which b & b are you in?

Milla sent me the way and I walked towards the place. It wasn't far from my area.

I was pretty tired, I wanted to take a hot shower and remarry, but obviously I had to make things right for the others.

But no one ran for me when I needed them most.

***

I entered and my nostrils were greeted by a scent of lavender, not strong, but delicate and it almost seemed to me to be at my grandmother's house, when on Sunday, together with my mother and my brother, we would go to her to spend it all in the family , with cousins, uncles ..

I smiled at that memory.

I looked around to see if there was anyone to ask for information, but silence reigned in that moment. What if I'm wrong?

"Where is it .. my mom .."

A female voice caught my attention. She wasn't new, it was as if I had already heard her ..

I turned and saw a girl a little shorter than Milla behind the counter, messing up her paperwork in front of her. I smiled. She hadn't noticed me.

She cleared her throat and she looked up at me, remaining silent, and so did I. I looked into her eyes, on her face, and I felt shivers go down her spine, as if it were some kind of adrenaline. I shook my head and walked over.

"I need some information .." I mumbled. "I'm looking for Milena Molinari, or Milla .." I continued.

She looked around as if she was looking for something for an answer, or someone.

What if she wasn't working there and she was being a thief?

When I was about to open my mouth to ask him more, she spoke:

"Give me a moment to check .."

She grabbed a notebook and looked through the reservations. I looked away, and when she raised her, I turned away.

“Yes… do you want me to call you?” She asked Me.

I shook my head. "She's my friend she's waiting for me, she knows I'm here."

"Yes, but I can't give you the key or the number of the room you are in. Who tells me that you really know her?"

I frowned at first. Her tone of voice changed, she seemed to become arrogant. A smile escaped me.

“Do you think I could be a maniac?” I asked, leaning on the counter, approaching me.

I had her gaze on me, her eyes glued to mine.

"Yeah. Yeah, you… she has the face of a bad guy. I'm sorry but I can't give you information." She gave a start, she drew back a little, and I continued amused.

"You were calling me you .."

"She gave it to me now."

Girl with a ready answer, she intrigued me ..

Milla's voice in the hall interrupted our conversation. I straightened up, and turned to her, while the girl behind me looked down at her papers.

"I thought you weren't coming anymore .." She walked up to me with quick steps, hugging me. I placed her hands on her hips and kissed her forehead.

“She's with me.” She said sourly to the curly hair behind us.

She just closed her lids.

“She only paid for one person, I can't let him in.” A grin formed on her lips. Also spiteful!

"The lady from before told me that .."

I interrupted Milla.

“How much of I owe?” I asked.

"€ 30"

I took the money out of my wallet and handed it to the girl, who she quickly put into the cashier.Then he looked at us with a satisfied smile:

" Have a good evening! "

Milla didn't answer, she started walking holding my hand. I looked at that girl one more time, and she looked at me, winked at her, managing to notice an embarrassment on her face. She looked down until she disappeared into the room with Milla.

***

She sat astride me. She moved her pelvis against mine as she left kisses on my neck, swiping across her face.

I closed my eyes and let myself go in that moment. Inside of me I wanted it, I wanted it. We were on a bed, away from everyone, just her and me.

“Do you know you're the only one who never leaves me?” She muttered between kisses.

I smiled and held her close to me, stroking her hair. She began to undress, already hinting at how she would continue the evening. She then she unbuttoned my jeans, putting her hand inside my boxers.

I breathed as I hugged her.

"Milla .."

She started moving her hand kissing me on her neck, and I did the same with her, pulling her panties aside. My fingers of hers were inside her, I moved them quickly. The air in her room was filled with her moans, the smack of kisses on her lips.

Her eyes her eyes in mine, her body sweaty and shivering.

"Let's do it Mirko .." she whispered excitedly.

"Milla, I don't have condoms .."

“Do you know I take pills, when have you ever used condoms on me?” She asked strangely from my answer.

"I've used them the last few times, don't you remember?"

"Please .. I need you .." she insisted.

I nodded and put her on her bed, and settled down to get inside her. I started kissing her again and went inside.

She gasped and I started pushing myself.

I didn't understand why I felt the need for that relationship to end right away. I couldn't concentrate, and I was thinking of that girl's eyes from earlier.

"Mirko .. Faster .."

I satisfied her, increasing the thrusts.

"Mirko!" She screamed close to me.

I stopped.

Milla looked at me taking long breaths, frowning.

"Didn't you like it? You're weird .."

I looked at her. " Yes of course. "

"You didn't come, Mirko! Are you kidding me?" She sat up on the bed.

"Milla, I'm tired, please."

"You're a f*****g asshole too! You f**k me and then you don't even come!"

"Milla stop it!" I exclaimed annoyed by her tones.

“I won't stop, instead!” She continued.

I got out of bed and retrieved my clothes. After getting ready, I grabbed my cell phone:

“Where are you going?” She asked Me.

"I'm going home. I ran here to you, you treat me like s**t, what the f**k do you want? Nobody ever thinks if Mirko is tired, or if Mirko has a f*****g problem!" I raised my voice, repenting immediately afterwards. I shook my head. "Call Mario and tell him you're okay. See you."

“Mirko!” She screamed.

I closed the door behind me and walked towards the exit of the b & b.

I looked over to the counter and her figure had been replaced by a middle-aged lady, busy finishing the egnimistic week.

"Good evening." I said as I walked out of there.

That's where I heard that voice: she was the girl I walked into the other night!
