Fan Fiction Chapter 12:
"Morning after the "First Date.""
Imanol reluctantly uncurls Marina's arms from around his neck and replies resignedly, "All right, I'll tell you where we're going but not what we're going to do. Deal?" Marina eagerly agrees to the deal. Imanol says "we're going to Naolinco and then to Xalapa." Marina's lovely eyes widen excitedly and she tells Imanol "that sounds really cool. What time are we leaving?" Imanol answers ," we're leaving at 5:30am, Benita has the duty to have you up and ready by that time." A dismayed Marina replies "So early?" Imanol winks, and indulgently replies, "Chiquita, you can nap on the way up to Naolinco and Xalapa. I'm the one that's going to drive. Good Night again, my Huesito." Imanol reverently kisses Marina on the forehead, clasps her shoulders, turns her around to face her hotel door, then heads for his room, two doors down. Marina doesn't detain him, since she knows he's going to need his sleep for tommorrow. She hurries into her room, lovingly puts her bracelet away, changes into her light blue pjs and jumps into bed to get her rest too, though she can't go to sleep right away, because she's reliving the magical night. Marina's blue eyes shine with joy and anticipation of tommorrow. She finally hugs her pillow gleefully, and settles down to sleep.
The moon and stars are still in the sky, the next morning when Benita awakens a still sleepy Marina at 4:30am. "Marina, get up to get ready for your outing with Imanol. Unless, you want me to go in your place." Benita teases Marina. As Marina, a little grumpy, gets out of bed and Benita hands her, the clothes for the day, then Marina heads for the bathroom to shower, still grumbling a bit about the early hour. Benita prods Marina with, "Would you rather have, Imanol still be Barbi's fiancee and have asked her to go with him on this all day outing?" Marina quickly snaps out "No!!' and stops grumbling.
She, then curiously asks "Nana, do you know what Imanol wants to do in Naolinco and Xalapa? I've never been to either town, so its going to be exciting, to explore them. I don't know what we're going to go do in Naolinco, but I know that Xalapa has the world famous Anthropology Museum, and they also have the world renowned Symphony Orchestra. Hopefully the Orchestra is in town and have a concert tonight, so Imanol and I can see it." Benita answers evenly, "Maybe "Nina." And I don't know what Imanol's plans are." At Benita's response, Marina throws Benita, an exasperated stare but then Marina closes the bathroom door.
Freshly showered, Marina rapidly dresses in her apple-green sweater, blue jeans, and tennis, puts on a little makeup, a little blush colors her cheeks, a soft eyeshadow brightens her eyes, and the soft rose lipgloss pinkens her lips. Benita, begins to brush Marina's hair. They decide to leave it loose and parted to one side. It falls in golden waves, prettily framing her face.
As they hear a firm knock at the door, Marina hurriedly whispers, "Benita, where is it?" Benita, replies, perplexed "Where's what?" Marina rapidly says "Imanol's gift, the one I bought him for his Saint's Feast day, where is it?" An enlightened Benita answers "Oh that, it's right here." She then hands a medium size gift wrapped box to Marina. At the door, a knock resounds against the door, followed by Imanol's "Marina are you ready, chiquita?" Benita winks at Marina, then goes to open the door. Marina nervously juggles the present in her hands. Imanol in tight, black jeans, an olive green tee shirt and tennis, happily greets Benita then she takes Marina's overnight bags to Imanol's black rental car. Imanol devours Marina with his eyes. He grins, stands in front of Marina, tenderly cups her cheek with one hand, and tells her "Good Morning, Huesito,'' then he leans down and plants a soft kiss on Marina's lips. Marina returns the kiss and says "Good Morning, Imanol." After they greet each other, Imanol speculatively eyes Marina juggling the present and playfully inquires, "Huesito, are you practicing to become a performer in the circus?"
Marina's eyes flash blue fire for a moment, as she nervously answers, "I might be." She stops juggling the gift. Then Marina, takes a deep breath, gazing anxiously at Imanol, as she gives him the present, saying tremously, "I know it's early,but here's the gift for your feast day. I hope you like it Imanol." She then gives him a quick peck on the cheek, then takes a few steps away from him. Imanol looks at her tenderly, his hazel eyes twinkling with curiousity, his voice colored with happiness as he says, "You didn't have to get me anything, but I'm thrilled with your thoughtfulness, now what is it?" Imanol eagerly tears the gift wrap off the box to reveal a "Nikon Coolpix 775 Digital Camara." A lightweight camara he can put in his pocket. Imanol's honey-colored eyes widen in startled shock, his mouth forms an "O" of suprise, then in a husky voice, he warmly says, " Thank you huesito. I love it, and I love you!!"
He strides over to Marina, then gently cups her face with his two hands and gives Marina a sweet kiss of thanks. Marina's hands play with the hair at his nape as she kisses him back. When they pull apart, Imanol nuzzles his nose with her nose and he questions wonderingly, " Marina, how did you know I wanted a digital camara chiquita? Not even Benita knew, so she didn't tell you." Marina giggles and replies, "A girl has to have some secrets."
Imanol really wants to know how she knew, since he hadn't mentioned it to a single soul. He keeps questioning her all the way down from the hotel room to the car. They have reached the door of the car, Imanol gentlemenly opens the door for Marina, as she sits down in the car seat, she turns her head and tells Imanol, a bit brusequely, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you how I knew, because, you're driving me bananas, with the nonstop questions, but I'll tell you once you get in the car." Imanol shuts her door , rapidly rounds the car, and gets into the driver's seat. Imanol and Marina have turned their heads and are facing each other. Hazel eyes bore into Blue eyes as Marina smoothes Imanol's cheek, tenderly with one of her hands, saying a bit smugly, "Remember a few weeks ago, when we went to the mall to look for Claudio's birthday present? Imanol quickly nods his head and says, "Yes." Marina continues, "Well that day, you wandered off on me. And I went to go look for you. I heard you talking to a salesman in the electronics dept., asking him everything about digital camaras, especially about one you were holding in your hand. He told you, but you put the camara down and told him you'd be back for it later. You then walked off in the direction away from me, I then walked up to the salesman and brought the camara you had just put down." Marina smiles as she smooths a lock of Imanol's hair and with a hint of self-mockery in her tone as she says, "I have always noticed the things that interest you. And I remembered your Feast day was coming up." Imanol stares at Marina transfixed, then carresses her face softly with his hand, his velvet voice purrs, "So, huesito that's how you knew. Imanol's tone turned suddenly serious and his golden green eyes, glisten with hurt, as he asks, "Huesito, why did you avoid me after our first kiss, (the one on the piano stool, when Marina heard Imanol play the piano for the first time,) and become involved with Mauricio in Puerto Penasco? By then you must have suspected I was interested in you," Both of Marina's slim hands tenderly slide up and clasp Imanol's strong forearms and her azure eyes gazing earnestly into Imanol's hazel ones replies softly,"I might have suspected your interest in me, but I couldn't believe it,! because you are a wonderful, smart, handsome young man." And she continues critical of herself, "I'm an ugly, chubby, schoolgirl, compared to the girls you've known, how could I compete with the likes of Barbi and all the others?" Imanol's face, voice mirrors his mind's astonishment at Marina's words, "ugly? chubby?" Imanol tenderly takes Marina's hands within his own, and clasps them tightly as he urgently, huskily says, "Marina you are neither ugly or chubby. Barbi and all the others have nothing on you." Marina shoots Imanol a skeptical look. Imanol's eyes gleam intensely into Marina's face, as he adds lovingly, "Marina, you have a spirit and personality that draws me to you like a magnet, it isn't only your physical beauty." "Truly?" queries Marina. Imanol leans in and whispers, " I am in love with you and only you! That's the truth. Marina." Then Imanol kisses her forehead, nose and finally her mouth.
After the kiss finishes, Marina, responds sincerely, "I'm in love with you too." Then she jestingly asks, "So my yuppie are we heading for Naolinco and Xalapa, now or what?" She squeezes Imanol's hands still holding hers, as she asks this. Imanol reluctantly releases her hands and puts a key in the ignition and then his hands on the steering wheel, and playfully winks and tells Marina, "Naolinco and Xalapa, here come Huesito and the yuppie of Stanford."
