El deseo de robarte una noche (Parte 3) (🇪🇸ES-EN🇺🇸)/ The Desire to Steal a Night Away (Part 3)
Rafael dijo que no tenÃa que robarlo. Que solo debÃa pedÃrselo y él vendrÃa a mÃ.
Y yo, que siempre tengo una respuesta para todo, esta vez, me quedé callada como boba.
Él se acercó un poco más. Ya no habÃa un metro de distancia. Se podÃa sentir el calor de su cuerpo y un silencio que pesaba más que cualquier palabra.
—¿Por qué tan silenciosa, SofÃa? —susurró—. La mujer que conocà hace dos años no se callaba nunca.
—Porque esa mujer no esperaba escuchar una respuesta asà —dije, y mi voz sonó más frágil de lo que querÃa.
Rafael said he didn't have to steal it. That I just had to ask him, and he would come to me.
And I, who always have an answer for everything, this time, stood there silent like a fool.
He moved a little closer. There was no longer a meter between us. You could feel the heat of his body and a silence that weighed more than any words.
"Why so quiet, SofÃa?" he whispered. "The woman I met two years ago never shut up."
"Because that woman didn't expect to hear an answer like that," I said, and my voice sounded more fragile than I wanted it to.
Rafael levantó la mano y rozó mi barbilla con sus dedos. Fue un gesto tan suave que me dolió.
—Entonces deja de calcular todo —dijo—. Solo por esta noche.
Y justo en ese momento sonó un teléfono. El suyo.
Rafael sacó el móvil del bolsillo del pantalón. Miró la pantalla y sus gestos se llenaron de tensión. No contestó, pero yo alcancé a ver el nombre de la llamada.
Yenifer.
La mujer que estaba con él en la fiesta. La que mis hombres dejaron plantada sin más.
—¿No vas a contestar? —pregunté, cruzando los brazos.
—No —dijo, y apagó el teléfono.
Me quedé mirándolo. Cinco segundos, tal vez diez.
Rafael raised his hand and brushed my chin with his fingers. It was such a gentle gesture that it hurt.
"So stop calculating everything," he said. "Just for tonight."
And right at that moment, a phone rang. His.
Rafael took the mobile out of his pants pocket. He looked at the screen and his demeanor became tense. He didn't answer, but I managed to see the name of the caller.
Yenifer.
The woman who was with him at the party. The one my men left stranded without a second thought.
"Aren't you going to answer?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"No," he said, and turned off the phone.
I just stood there looking at him. Five seconds, maybe ten.
—¿Quién es Yenifer? —pregunté, aunque ya me sabÃa la respuesta.
—Alguien con quien he salido estos meses —dijo, sin rodeos—. Nada serio.
—Nada serio —repetÃ, y solté una risa amarga—. Como yo hace dos años, ¿no? Un encuentro en una fiesta, nada serio, y mira dónde estamos.
Rafael me miró fijo. No se echó atrás.
—Tú no fuiste nada serio porque tú lo quisiste asÃ, desapareciste —dijo, y esta vez su voz sà se quebró un poco—. Yo te busqué. Pregunté por ti. Nadie quiso darme tu nombre completo. Solo sabÃa que te llamabas SofÃa y que eras dueña de un negocio. ¿Crees que no lo intenté?
"Who is Yenifer?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer.
"Someone I've been seeing these past few months," he said bluntly. "Nothing serious."
"Nothing serious," I repeated, and let out a bitter laugh. "Like me two years ago, right? A chance meeting at a party, nothing serious, and look where we are now."
Rafael stared at me. He didn't back down.
"You were never nothing serious because you wanted it that way — you disappeared," he said, and this time his voice did break a little. "I looked for you. I asked about you. No one would give me your full name. All I knew was that your name was SofÃa and that you owned a business. Do you think I didn't try?"
Eso sà que me dejó helada.
Durante dos años creà que él habÃa seguido con su vida como si nada. Que nuestra conversación aquella noche habÃa sido solo eso: una conversación. Pero ahora me decÃa que me habÃa buscado.
—No lo sabÃa —dije en voz baja.
—Porque te alejaste sin más —respondió él.
El teléfono volvió a sonar.
Otra vez Yenifer.
That left me completely frozen.
For two years I thought he had gone on with his life as if nothing had happened. That our conversation that night had been just that: a conversation. But now he was telling me he had looked for me.
"I didn't know," I said quietly.
"Because you walked away, just like that," he replied.
The phone rang again.
Yenifer again.
Esta vez Rafael lo agarró, miró la pantalla un instante… y lo dejó caer sobre la cama. No apagado. Simplemente lo dejó allÃ, vibrando, mientras me volvÃa a mirar.
—Te pedà una noche —dije, tragando saliva—. No te pedà que fueras mÃo para siempre.
—Y yo te estoy diciendo que una noche no me alcanza —respondió él.
Y ahà fue cuando entendà que el plan de robarme a un hombre por una noche se habÃa salido de control.
Porque la que terminó robada fui yo.
Y yo no sabÃa si querÃa ser devuelta.
Continuará...
This time Rafael grabbed it, looked at the screen for a moment... and let it drop onto the bed. Not turned off. He just left it there, vibrating, while he turned to look at me again.
"I asked you for one night," I said, swallowing hard. "I didn't ask you to be mine forever."
"And I'm telling you that one night isn't enough for me," he replied.
And that was when I understood that the plan to steal a man for one night had spiraled out of control.
Because the one who ended up stolen was me.
And I didn't know if I wanted to be given back.
To be continúe...
¿Creen que Yenifer va a aparecer en el hotel? ¿Y si Rafael le mintió a SofÃa sobre haberla buscado? En la Parte 4: lo que pasó cuando alguien tocó la puerta de la habitación 309…
Do you think Yenifer is going to show up at the hotel? And what if Rafael lied to SofÃa about having looked for her? In Part 4: what happened when someone knocked on the door of room 309…
