Chapter four: After a busy day 1

Bodi enters the kitchen. His face is shaved and his smell is fresh like soap. Caroline puts huge beef steaks on two plates with roasted potatoes. There is also a plate with vegetables and a bowl of salad on the table.

“Would you like to drink something, Bodi?” asks Caroline.
“I don’t have a beer but I can offer you some water, self-made lemonade, and red wine."

“It does not matter, Caroline, give me a glass of red wine, please. By the way, the food looks tasty. Such a huge steak! Thanks, I am as hungry as a wolf.”  

Caroline smiles and takes a seat opposite him.
He also smiles. He is impressed to see the big portion on her plate but he doesn’t mention it.
"Enjoy your meal Caroline and thanks again for your hospitality”, he says and starts eating.

After dinner, he pushes her out of the kitchen to go to the beach. He wants to wash up the dishes and then to follow her to the beach. The washing up goes easy by his hands.
He turns off the light everywhere in the house, except a small lamp on a sideboard in the living room. He opens the windows. Outside is it cooler now and it will be fine to have fresh air inside the house. Then he leaves the house.

The sun begins to go down. The air is yellow, orange and red as if the air burns. It is still warm. The colored light of the sun looks magical. Bodi sees Caroline sitting at the shore. She has her arms around her knees. Her hair is redder than brown in this magical light. She watches the waves and the sundown. Her face is rosy and the wind is playing with her hair.

He feels tenderness and a longing to touch her. He does not know what happens. He was never before so attracted by a woman.
He’s now behind her. She looks at him. He sees tears in her eyes. It doesn't seem embarrassing for her showing him her emotions. "That is so stunning, isn’t it? So beautiful and amazing! This beauty is refreshment for soul and heart.”  Suddenly she takes Bodi’s hand. “Look Bodi, the birds! It is as if they are dancing in the sky.”, Caroline says. At the same time, the sun kisses the sea before disappearing.

Bodi speaks some lines of a poem:

                           "It’s like a song of mermaids,
                           it’s like their dance on the wave.
                         They lure you with magic voices,
                   They seduce you to come to their cave."    
     
Caroline looks at him, smiles and asks, “Do you like my poem?”.
Bodi looks at her, “Yes I love it and those words are so perfect to describe what I feel right now. But, wait! You said it is your poem? How can I understand that, are you the author of the poems in the folder on the table in the living room?”

“Pssssssssssssst!!!” She lies her fingers on his lips, “Don’t speak. Just feel the moment! Please don’t speak!” She looks in his eyes and he feels like sinking into these green eyes without a return. He takes her hands and kisses every single finger very tenderly. Tears leave her eyes and she sighs quietly.

“Don’t cry, please,” says Bodi, “Don’t cry, I never will hurt you, believe me, please.”

“I know”, that's all that Caroline is able to say. Each single kiss on the tips of her fingers is like an impulse of electricity. Her face is blushed, her eyes are closed and shiver a little behind the lids. Her mouth is open.  It's like an invitation to kiss her. Now it’s over with his self-control. He takes her face between his hands and starts kissing. First very tenderly like a breeze. She does not refuse and that makes him kissing her again, this time more passionately. If she ever had doubts about her feelings, they got away with his kisses. It's as if she is flying on the wings of emotions, no matter what happens.

She feels his desire, his passion, how much he wants her and she desire him too. She moves her body close to him, puts her arms around his neck and starts to kiss him back. She has weak knees, and her heart beats as fast as never before.
She is fascinated by his masculinity. She is surprised. She doesn't know him for long. It's just one single day! This never happened to her before in her entire life.
She is not one of those women which fall in love so quickly but a gaze in his eyes says more than a thousand words. She never believed in the love at the first sight. She has to recognize, it's possible. She can not think anymore.

Slowly comes back the blood into Bodi's brain.
He does not know what happened. He feels happy although it is not explainable, at least not in rational senses.
He only knows that he wants her more than anything else.
While they kept kissing they did not notice how the weather suddenly has changed. With the first Thunderclaps, the first raindrops are falling down from the clouds.
