Not his family

A bit presumptuous

*Catalina*

"Zac what happened to not going crazy ?" I say standing on the villa's balcony, or one of them, looking out on the savannah below. We are staying in the private villas belonging to Disney's animal kingdom park, and it is almost like staying in luxury at the real African savannah.

He puts his arms around me, from behind, as always resting his head on top of mine. For some reason I love when he does that. "Well this gives us some privacy. I was thinking that Lucia and the kids could take the two bedrooms down in the other end and you could share the grand bedroom with me ?"

"Oh so you were thinking that ? A bit presumptuous are we now ?" I ask him teasingly, and he spins me in his arms, kissing me till within an inch of my life.

"Still not wanting to stay here with me ?" He asks with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

I smile, looking up at him. "Oh I never say I didn't want to, of course I want to stay here with you".

JR and his family are staying in a smaller villa next to ours. Both their kids and my kids are absolutely ecstatic that we are going to the big disney world, universal and much more.

"Zac I kind of wish you wouldn't do all this, spend so much money, I feel like I am using you". I feel bad he is spending so much, especially when I am not exactly poor. Probably I have more money than him, I am just not free to spend them.

He gently grabs my chin, tilting my head, forcing me to look into his eyes. "Darling, I do this because I want to. I want to give those kids the world and you too and you never asked for any of it, I just want to show you that I love you, because I do …I love you".

I feel my heart skip a beat and butterflies do a crazy conga in my stomach, did he really just say that ? I look into his warm eyes and see only honesty and love. "I ... I love you too".

The smile lighting up his face and the look of happiness in his eyes is almost enough to make me cry, then he pulls me into his arms, holding me as close as possible.

"Mommy, mommy ... I get my own big bed". Gabriel says as he comes running out to the balcony, looking up at us with excitement painted on his face.

Zac picks him up, smiling at him, and Gabriel puts his arms around Zac's neck. "So I take it that you like your room ?"

"Yeah I love it …I am sharing with Angel though, but we can see the giraffes from our balcony. We each got a big bed, you can jump on it". He tells happily.

*Zac*

She said it back. I hadn't planned on telling her that I love her, it just kind of slipped, but it is the truth. I still can’t believe that she said she loves me too. Right now I feel like shouting from the rooftops, but I keep myself in check, I don't want to scare her.

I can't wait to share a bed with her each night, to have her in my arms, and to feel like a real family. At least for this short time, but hopefully it will soon be forever.

"So what do you say we get ready and then go down to the park for a bit and watch all the animals ?" I ask Gabriel, putting him down.

"Yeah, I want to go on the safari tour". He says happily jumping on the spot.

I point to the door. "Go tell your brother and sister to get ready then".

He runs out the door, and I pull Catalina into my arms, my mouth finding hers. I will never get tired of missing her.

After a heated kiss, my lips slowly move over her cheek to her ear and I whisper softly. "But the real fun won't happen before we are back here alone".

"Zac ! Behave". She says laughing, playfully slapping my shoulder and blushing. I smile to myself, last time she got her way, taking all control, tonight I want to take a part of it back.

*Lucia*

I watch Catalina with Zac through the door. I don't want to disturb them. I know she would get embarrassed if I walked in on them being intimate like this, but I have known from the first moment I Saw them together that these two have a special connection.

Catalina deserves happiness and a good man. Her husband, Rafael, isn't a good man, he is a pig and a jerk. I know what he does to that poor girl when he gets angry and I know he has other women too. He comes home with lipstick and cheap perfume on his clothes.

But Zac, he is a good man. I can see that. He is so loving with her and always kind and a gentleman towards everyone. He also clearly adores the kids and they love him back, and that says a lot about a man's character if you ask me.

Normally I am very much against infidelity, but thinking about how she is treated by her husband, I am not at all feeling she is acting wrong. I know the only reason she isn't leaving Rapael to be with Zac is because she is scared and with very good reason sadly. There is no way Rafael would just let her leave.
