Hi Everybody,
Here is Chapter 15 of the Imanol and Marina fiction.
Enjoy!
Imanol and Marina's arrival in Xalapa:
Imanol and Marina arrive safely at the car, then drive joyfully through Naolinco and onto the highway heading for Xalapa. Once again, Marina's nose presses against the window pane of the car as she stares at the fascinating scenery passing before her teal blue eyes, the mountains rising in all their majestic glory, the fluffy white clouds in the blue sky, the plantations growing coffe beans, oranges and bananas, the profusion of the wildflowers, then there are the palm trees that grab her attention. Marina has rolled down the window, to catch the breeze that has the leaves of the palm trees swaying in the wind. As they stop behind another car, allowing an oxen pulled cart across the road, Imanol turns his head a fraction to stare at his huesito, who' still looking out the car window. His amber eyes glow with tenderness and a satisfied smile carves itself on his face and he contentedly thinks to himself, "My huesito. Yes she finally is mine, she told me she loves me. And I definitely love her. Right now, Marina looks like she did when she was a little girl. The little girl that stole my heart away, only I didn't realize it then. And that's why I always provoked her." Imanol shakes his head and chuckles self depreciatingly. At the sound, Marina's head pivots away from the window and towards Imanol's direction. Her big azure eyes gleam questioningly as she says, "Something funny?" Imanol, quickly points out the window, and with his baritone voice tells her, "Chiquita, you're missing the show outside the window. Look the oxen have stopped in their tracks and the owner's trying to entice them to move with that dance." Marina exclaims "What?" as she returns her head to the scene outside the window.(Imanol was not ready to tell Marina the truth right now, he still needed time to digest it himself.) Marina laughs delightedly at the antics of the cart owner to get the oxen moving again. The oxen get going. She turns to look at Imanol, very happy and relaxed says, "Thank you my Yupi, caballero for this wonderful day." With her left hand, she softly strokes Imanol's cheek, then playfully musses the hair by his right ear. Imanol voices mock sternly, "Chiquita, watch the hair." He continues with a smile heard in his voice, "And your welcome." Then he puts his foot on the gas pedal and drives off.
Imanol and Marina finally stop at a lovely, fountained, open air, courtyarded hacienda, "Posada Coatepec" near the "University of Vera Cruz" in Xalapa. The courtyard has a profusion of begonias of many, vivid colors such as apricot, crimson, deep pink, deep purple, and red orange.. Marina fingers a crimson one in her hair and mentally reminds herself that she wants to save the petals. The hacienda has been converted into an inn. Marina takes a deep breath of the begonia perfumed air and tells Imanol, "Its lovely here." They happily freshen up in their rooms that are side by side. Fifeteen minutes later, standing outside in the corrider, Marina(closing her door) bumps into the broad back of Imanol(who's closing his door as well.) They both turn to face the other and laugh. "Ready to explore Xalapa?" Imanol indulgently asks as he takes Marina's slender arm within the curve of his own. Marina eagerly answers "Yes." She sets a fast pace down the hallway, but Imanol's longer legs are easily able to keep up. In the lobby, a very curious Marina is so busy peppering Imanol with questions about Xalapa, that she accidently runs into another guest. "I'm so sorry, I didn't..." Marina begins to apologize to the young man whom she thinks looks a lot like her cousin Demian.
The "Demian look-alike" interrupts leering at her and brashly says, "blue eyes, if you're truly sorry, you could get cozy with me, how about..."(He almosts bites his tongue in half and falls to the floor ) as he gets a right hook to the jaw from an angry Imanol whose blazing golden eyes furiously glare into his face, and a husky growl comes out of Imanol's throat, "say another word to my girlfriend and You'll be the sorry one. Understand?"(Imanol's wrists are clenched at his side and he's ready to let fly again if the guy says anything else disrespectful to Marina.) The guy, warily watching Imanol slowly gets up rubbing his aching jaw, backing away from a still fuming Imanol and finishes checking out. Marina's sapphire colored eyes rounded to the size of saucers and she instinctively takes a step closer to Imanol and shakily says, "Imanol, let's go. Please! That jerk isn't worth any more of our time and attention." She gently tugs at Imanol's forearm, to go outside to the car. Imanol shoots the guy such a glare that if it had been a laser it would have burned a hole through the guy's back.
Once outside in the courtyard, standing by the car, Imanol's eyes soften as they lock onto Marina's beautiful eyes and he gently clasps Marina's face within his hands. He gently asks, "Are you okay chiquita?" Marina softly cups his face with her hands and answers just as softly, "Yes Imanol. Thank You, My Love," then leans into to give him a tender kiss on the lips. Imanol returns the kiss. When Imanol and Marina come up for air, Imanol throatily tells her, "Marina I won't ever let anyone disrepect you." Marina smiles lovingly as she replies, "I saw that. Let me see your right hand." Gingerly, she unclasps his hand from her cheek, cradling his hand within her own, and turns it over. Marina then sees an abrasion between two of his knuckles. "Does it sting a lot?" asks a concerned Marina. Worriedly she gazes into Imanol's amber eyes(while still cradling his hand within her own.) Imanol grimaces slighty and replies, "It stings a bit, but I'm alright chiquita." Marina reverently raises his hand to her lips, and tenderly kisses his palm. With his free hand, Imanol smooths Marina's hair, gruffily telling her, "Let's go for our adventure in Xalapa."
