Noelia liked Aitor more every day. Aitor was a new boy who had moved about three months ago to the same urbanization where Noelia lived and, although his apartments were not in the same block of flats, they met every day at the community pool. At first, they did not dare to speak to each other. They were both very shy, but their looks gave them away. They were very attracted to each other. It was Aitor, who after a few weeks, took the first step: “Hello! I am new here. I’ve moved a few days ago and I’m a bit lost. Do you know of a cool place to go out for a drink in the neighborhood?” he asked. Noelia quickly offered to be a tour guide and thus their friendship began... They hit it off right away. Noelia had recently left him with her boyfriend and, despite having spent some time devastated, she felt that with Aitor she was recovering her hopes and the desire to fall in love again. With him she could talk about everything and there was not a day that they did not laugh out loud at any trifle.
Aitor was sweet and attentive to her, just the opposite of her ex. Besides, she was sure he felt the same way, but unfortunately, not everything was perfect. Rosa, Noelia’s neighbor and best friend, also liked Aitor. She talked about him whenever she got the chance when it was just the two of them, and when the three of them were together in the pool, she could tell he was a league longing to get her attention.
Rosa did not know anything about Noelia’s feelings because she was afraid that by confessing it to her, she would be angry with her. After all, they had been friends since they were three years old, they had always been together, supporting each other in everything and she was not willing for anything or anyone to get in the way of her friendship. Noelia was determined to forget about Aitor as she was. With all the boys in the world, it wasn’t fair to fight over the same one.
Repentance
- One afternoon, when leaving work, Noelia and Aitor were in the pool. Rosa had had to catch a plane the day before for a business trip with her company, so that afternoon they would be alone. Noelia didn’t think it was a good idea to be alone with Aitor, but it was a good opportunity to tell him everything and tell him that from that moment on they should stay away from each other. It was the best for the good of both of them and Rosa.
- The afternoon flew by, Noelia felt so well with Aitor that she forgot about the whole world. When she got dark, Aitor accompanied Noelia to her portal. Upon arrival, the two fell silent. Not a single word came out of Noelia. Slowly, without expecting it, Aitor approached her and hugged her. Noelia was unable to separate from him so she, without saying anything at all, she rested her head on her body. He gently cupped her chin, lifted her head in front of her, and kissed her. A slow, sweet, affectionate kiss. In a matter of seconds they were at Noelia’s house. The two of them standing there in the room passionately kissing. Aitor slowly unbuttoning her bikini until he dropped it to the ground, caressing her like never before. Making it yours.
Choosing between love and friendship
- The next morning Noelia woke up from the dream. She couldn’t believe what had happened that night! “What would Rosa think?” she said to herself. She quickly got dressed and wrote a note for Aitor: “This can’t be.” He left it on the nightstand and ran off to work, leaving that boy who drove her crazy asleep there.
- Noelia was very sorry for what had happened and she spent the following week avoiding Aitor and Rosa… she couldn’t even look at their faces! She just wanted the summer to end so she wouldn’t have to meet them at the pool.
- One morning, upon waking up, Noelia realized that the situation could not continue like this. She had to take charge of her life and tell her best friend what was going on. Enough of the secrets! She sent her a What Sapp to meet that same night for dinner at the restaurant they always went to together.
- When he got there, someone came up behind him and covered his eyes. She turned around and it was Aitor! “What are you doing here?” Noelia asked, amazed. “Noelia, I love you. I want to be with you and I know that you do too. Rosa knows everything and she has prepared this date for us. She is your friend and all she wants is for you to be happy. She wants you to be with me,” she said. Noelia approached Aitor and kissed him, wishing with all her might that this moment was eternal.
- Now, four years after that intense and hot summer, Noelia and Aitor are getting married, and all thanks to Rosa. Because love and friendship do not always have to be at odds.
