Broken Brakes 12

With a black table between them.

Smiling uncomfortable.

Laila and Ray.

Why is he feeling so nervous ?! Laila doesn't understands. He couldn't possibly know...

Why is she so blushy and picky ? Ray's sure she can't divine or foretell his strange feelings toward her....

Laila writes something down, on the file, and lifts her eyes. An incredible dark blue.

'So Ray...'

'Yes Assistant... Laila...Was it ?'

'Yes'

'You know what ?.. That name... Laila...Reminds me of someone...Something... I don't know ! I can't remember exactly, but...'

'Really ? Laila is not a common name'

'That's what's strange about it. But I could swear I know you from....' Ray shakes his head in perplexity.

Laila can't stand still. Is he going to remember ? She can't tell him just now, out from the blue that they were husband and wife! It's very dangerous! If he's not ready ...

'Sorry ! But I cant remember! Wow !... But... Anyway !'

'Calm down ! You're here on recovery. You had a terrible accident ,where you almost lose your life. Your mind is not OK right now. You're mixing real life with books, films, stories.... Maybe dreams! It will take time to come back to normal, you know ..'

'Yes ,I know ! I'm so eager to get well and back to life!'

'And you would ! In due time... Now I will refer you to the study section . We will agree on you studying... let me see... Astronomy! Right ?'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The interview is over. Laila can't make her mind about leaving. She doesn't know what else to say, but something must be said. And she so wants to stay a little longer with Ray !

Ray is so driven to Laila, that he's in an exciting turmoil of feelings. He almost forgot Ara.

The deep blue eyes, the sensual smile, the long sensual legs, the raven black hair... Everything in this woman is so alluring ! The way she moves, hoe she crosses her legs, her beautiful hands caressing carelessly the gold and red pen on the table.

He can't resists and grabs her wrist, audaciously, without thinking twice.

A current of electrical energy flows from his fingertips to her skin, from her wrist to his shaking hand.

An explosion of pleasure, lust, wanton, longing, desire.... Their eyes meet. Their parted lips gasping, letting go unraveled desires, with each breath.

It's only a second, but it lasts for ages in their minds. The world stops as well as their hearts. In that second, Eternity unveils a small but strong bit of truth.
