Chapter 50
House Rebecca Harvey
November 10, 2010
7.00 am
"What's that smell?" Alec asked, entering the kitchen hold your nose with your fingers. "Hey! Becca! Are you listening? "He called aloud, pulling the hem of the petticoat.
"What? Oh, no! That's great! "He said with a grimace of disappointment when he realized the trouble he had done. It was the third morning after burning the pancakes and Alec started to doubt of being able to taste them. He flung open the windows to change the air as the child sits at the table and, looking forlorn, with a fork examined the charred mass. No way, the breakfast was hopelessly to throw in the trash.
"Sorry, I got distracted," he admitted regret, turning his head towards the bunch of sunflowers that he had put on the table.
"Lately, you often daydream. Safe not be sick? "
Rebecca blushed.
'Well, it does not matter "reassured Alec pretending not have appetite. "But now clothes, I do not want to be late." He got in a hurry and ran into the bedroom to rummage in the drawers. "Where is my t-shirt of the Gators? And the glasses that gave me Ryan? Oh! Well! Why do you always put everything in order! When you can not find anything, "muttered the words nervous, chewing on the ground and throwing the pajama top.
The girl raised her eyes to heaven, but refrained from scolding or have any comments and try to be patient. He understood that this was not a day like any other.
joined him in his room and, after kneeling to look under the bed, waved in front of the nose glasses that was looking for, exhumed from a dirty sock and the remains of marshmallow stuck to the floor. "I'm here with a bunch of other things," he said ironically.
Alec jumped on the bed, panting and glancing sideways. "I do not want to go," muttered sulking and playing with the strap of the goggles.
"Are you afraid?"
"No! I just do not want to go. Yes, I've decided. I do not go. "
Becky carefully folded the uniform of the North Baltimore inside the bag, along with the rest of his stuff. The slippers, bathrobe Spiderman and the jacket of the U.S. National that she had given him before leaving Florida, with a promise not to show it around. He had never understood how he had come in possession or who had belonged, but he felt honored to have them and if they ever separated. It was his lucky charm, convinced that one day he would have worn an equal.
Rebecca sat down at the bottom of the bed.
"All right. If you then go back to St. Mary. "
"In Jacksonville?" Stammered taken aback. "Absolutely not!" He said, shaking his head, fearing said seriously. "I mean, now we are here and I'm not going ... and then, here in Florida ... it's too hot!"
She listened patiently for his outburst, trying to remain serious. Finally she let out a smile.
"Move sample, enough with the complaints. Today you have your first race. "
"And if you lose," he asked in a faint voice, curled up on the side because Becky did not notice his eyes bright and excited than he was. He was afraid of not being up to the expectations of women, but could not admit it. But Rebecca also sensed it, acknowledging in her eyes the same fear of Todd.
"It will mean that we will think of something else."
"Eh? What do you mean? "
" Baseball? Horse riding? In fact, I have found. How about gymnastics? According to me you bring, "he joked jumping on the mattress and improvising a dance step. Alec If only he could read in his heart, he would have realized how much she loved him and that his future in swimming could not have any effects on the bond that united them.
"Ugh! That's sissy stuff! "Said railing against the pillow and running them throughout the house. "I am a swimmer! A swimmer, "said puffing his chest, proud of himself.
And they played together, Rebecca's heart beat peaceful, aware of the gift that life had made, making them meet that child. He was happy, despite everything.
knocked on the door and she rushed to open without thinking, with the wind in my throat for the race.
"Hello, love."
Milorad greeted her kissing her lips. His eyes unconsciously slipped back to the ankles, a moment later, along the line of the hips and then linger on the forms of the breast. It had been a long time since he had seen her wearing only a slip, but the physical sensations that caused the woman had not changed. Perhaps Catherine would not have approved, but some of the reactions of her body escaped the control of the will, to how much effort we put. The image of Rebecca just wakes up, with her hair down and rubbed his eyes lit up from the sleep of nostalgia.
"Hello," she whispered embarrassed raising the spaghetti strap slipped down and taking a step back, to protect themselves from intimate look.
Alec, still behind them, stared at them with his mouth open. "But I kissed her!" Spelled with pointing the finger menacingly. "What did he kiss her!" He repeated for the second time astonished.
"Alec, come on. I want to introduce a friend "she said, clearing his voice, trying to stay calm. "He is Milorad. You know, is an athlete, just like you. "
"I know what it's called! It 's the guy who wanted to fuck Michael in Beijing! "Growled all red in the face, clenching his fists at his sides. "Anyway, I kissed her!"
"Alejandro Reyes! I am ashamed of you, but what a way to talk about is this! "Severely reprimanded him frowning, hands on hips. "Ask pardon immediately," we sometimes forget that Alec had grown up on the road, an experience that had hardened and was forced to grow up in quickly.
"But, but ... he has kissed you!" Stammered acted without intent to sell.
"The magic is the record?" Said Cavic curious observer and put his hands in his pockets. "For a start, not bad. Of course, Becky, you will know that men choose their own good "he whispered to your ear not to be heard from Alec.
"It's not funny, Milo" he muttered through clenched teeth, giving him a nudge, "And do not make me regret having agreed to hold the game."
"When you called me to tell me I did not want to believe it."
"You want to stop Starla so stuck! 'Said Alec increasingly annoyed by the presence of Cavic, pulling the girl by the arm away from him. Even if the man was three times higher, perhaps four, had a great desire to pull his fist on the nose, or anywhere he could reach.
"Okay, we made presentations. I get dressed and head, "said Rebecca, leaving Alec's hand, trying to hurry to not leave them alone for too long.
Safe Start? You mean the one coming with us? At my invitation? Why not? "He asked incredulously, knocking insistently at the door of his room," Why, Becca? "
" Hey kid, put the record straight immediately. I do not like a fuss, then get in the car, "ordered Milorad holding the bag at the foot of the bed and out on the landing. "Rebecca and I are together and will be better if we are to adopt rules to get along."
After about half an hour came to the pool of DL Ray's College where the U.S. swimming federation had organized a meeting for the elementary schools of the State of Maryland. Although it was only a meeting between juniors, attended by several sponsors looking for young talent.
Milorad's car slid up the ramp of the parking lot and stopped the Centre in the area reserved for athletes.
"You do not like you," Alec snarled, slamming the door, reaching Bowman, who was gathering all the guys in the team before entering.
"There was really needed to tease him like that?" Said Becky visibly annoyed.
"Come on, let me have some fun '. That child has grit, is a fighter. No compromises and knows what he wants, "said folding his hands behind the neck and leaning back. "I adore you and can not stand that someone can come between you," he said giving her a slap in the nose and winking.
"If this is not the only one to be jealous" insinuated she bent her face aside. "You know, a few days ago I phoned Catherine Miller. You know the director of the WSJ? It was five o'clock in the morning and was under pressure to talk. "
Milorad covered his face with his hand.
"Struck and sunk. What did he say? "Asked the voice, fearing the uncertain response. He lowered the window to let in a little 'fresh air and loosened his scarf.
"What are the most stubborn man I ever met, and ..." he said with a grin, "... and who loves you," he added a moment later, softening the tone of voice. "Basically to keep their distance."
Milorad blushed feeling uncomfortable. "It 'happened by chance, I do not even know how" he mumbled almost feel the duty to apologize to her. "However, we frequented by little and still do not know if ..."
"Do not add other" silenced him begging him not to continue. Milorad just felt through the fabric of his jeans and thick rough fingertips Rebecca scroll read on the thigh, the skin is ACCAPP remembering the past.
"Do not tell me anything. E 'right it, "said continuing to stroke. "You deserve to be happy and I'm happy for you," she murmured, getting out to meet Alec. "Catherine does not want to miss that call and he wanted to put the record straight. If you have agreed to fit your plan is crazy because it keeps us a lot to you. In its place, I would not have been so understanding, "said jokingly. Then he quickly walked away without looking back.
Milorad And while he watched through the glass run by Alec, she felt a flavor bitter rising from the stomach, knowing that now the "Becky's" no longer existed. He loved Catherine, but their relationship was born out of too little time to establish with certainty what he felt.
Anyway, things had gone, he could not pretend that Rebecca was not important to him. His memory still put him at ease and, for this reason, it was more than happy to close it in a drawer, sure to succeed sooner or later, to think of her with greater detachment.
But now it was not appropriate to get caught by sentimentality, and nor was the type of person who would wallow in melancholy long. No, he had a job to accomplish and everything else could wait.
Baltimore
Wilkens Ave, 625
10.00 am
"Michael, is when we got into the car and we go around. Why not you going to ask me? "
swimmer continued to keep our eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, pretending that the subject does not interest him. He looked at the time on the dashboard screen and realized that he was late. He pushed the accelerator and turned down the bypass.
"I just wonder why in recent months spent so much time in Baltimore. I do not think a question out of place, considering that you live in Florida, "said Michael with a detached tone. Or so it would seem.
Ryan did not answer. And after fumble Escalade near the stereo, got up at full volume the last piece of Lil Wayne, his favorite rapper. "You have guessed, is for you who are here," he declared loudly, because Michael clearly felt, despite the loud music.
"You? I do not know who you talk to. You have a new girlfriend? "
" Yeah, right. Continue to pretend not to understand "Ryan muttered, raising an eyebrow and humming the words of that song with clever expression painted on their faces. "And tell me, have you seen her maid with whom Thou hast made merry on Halloween?"
If Michael wanted to play hard, would not be pulled back. The role of Cupid began to keep up close and it was time to put the cards on the table and let those two stubborn to admit their feelings.
"Who, sorry? I can not hear. Beautiful Song, is not it? "Asked whistling the tune, increasing even more the volume on your stereo.
"I I asked Becky if you have revised it after you went to bed, "cried pressing the off button to stop the music.
That question cuts like a razor sharp silence fell suddenly in the car.
Ryan For a moment he regretted being so direct, fearing that his initiative would bring his friend to shut himself in again. He did not want to argue to convince him to retrace his steps, the more he believed it was right to not force it. Rebecca had her faults and decide to forgive was a decision that only Michael could take.
There was a pause.
"No. I do not know where to look and even what to say, "she admitted leaving Ryan seriously amazed.
could not believe his ears. Michael Phelps finally it was decided to lower the defenses and put aside his stubborn pride. The mere fact of talking to her was a huge step forward, considering that the subject was banished from their conversations for nearly a year.
"You knew that Rebecca was the maid?"
Michael nodded. "The first I knew if I had not drunk so much that night. I realized only at the end, when we ... Well, 'when none of your business "said, blushing.
"Now what do you mean?"
not know what to say, torn between the desire to hold her still and resentment that forced him to reject it. He had hurt and did not believe you can forgive her. Every time I thought she came back to mind the words of contempt that he had heard with his ears that day in front of lawyers.
He turned north and after about ten minutes the car stopped next to Rey's College.
"Do you think people can change," he asked turning off the engine.
"I do not know, but sometimes worth it to grant a second chance. She deserves it, trust me. "
Michael turned in his direction, staring thoughtfully. Accept advice Doggie was always a high risk decision. He smiled thinking about it.
But a moment later he returned again seriously.
Since they were now professionals were addressed several times in the race but, despite the defeats, this was the first time I felt jealous of Ryan. Rebecca had got to know him much better than he could and spoke of her as if she was part of his life for some time. And that was a mouthful that was hard to swallow.
"He learned to swim," he asked, looking down so to hide the embarrassment. Thoughts traveled fast to break up against the image of Rebecca in the arms of Ryan, like that day in the pool. Teach her to swim up to him and nobody else. But it was no use crying about the past.
"Forget it. I gave air to the mouth without thinking. Forget this nonsense, "he said, shaking his head. "Come on, let's move. I do not want to miss races Alec "said getting out.
"A ... Alec?"
"Yes, that little boy who is keeping an eye Bowman. I had talked about you, remember? Is something wrong? What is that face? "
" No, for me is fine, "he whispered nervously rubbing his thumbs against the palm of your hand. "Let's go," he said looking straight ahead, "But next time you feel when you take certain initiatives."
Perhaps fate was bringing the streets of Michael and Rebecca and a turning point, after all, was not to go along with a bad idea. Sooner or later they had to meet and talk.
Meanwhile, near the tank floor ...
"I can not resist. Is still much, "asked devouring her nails, watching Alec hot poolside with other children who attended the meeting. He stood on the sidelines waving their arms above their heads, with the glasses that had given Ryan placed above the cuff of NBAC.
Standing beside him, Bowman spoke of who knows that. And Becky would have given anything to hear their conversation. He felt excluded from that world made of water and chlorine, which in one way or another, toghether all the people he had loved.
"Patience has never been your best talent," said Milorad amused by his apprehension, sitting in the stands. She seemed genuinely affected by the situation and anxious about the fate of Alec. Milorad never suspected that his friend possessed a maternal instinct so strong.
In the past, had proposed to have a child, but that was the most extreme attempt to keep her tied to him, a real desire to put into practice. He smiled to himself thinking how it was silly of her to behave well and how their relationship had weakened him. Becky had always been love damn complicated and probably leave was the best decision for both.
"You'll get used to it. Have you any idea how many races will have to address before becoming a professional? "
" I know, there is no need I remember him. I do not think just do it "he sighed, shaking, holding a hand on his chest. "I'm going to get a coffee, I bring you something?"
Ten minutes after Rebecca had moved away, Cavic reached Ryan in the stands.
"Shit, Milo! What are you doing here? "He asked with wide eyes, surprised to find him there. "Where's Becky?"
"Hey Doggie, I'm glad there is you, too, can be useful ".
"Profit? Why did not you warn me? Today you have decided to make all of your head? Me, you and Catherine are a team, like Charlie's Angels! Certain information should move, damn it! "
" What are you talking about? "Said Milorad perplexed and confused by its usual chatter," Anyway, Charlie's Angels were women. Do I look like a woman, me? "Pointed out to him crossing his arms.
"But it is pointless, maybe ... "
" Shut up! "
" Eh? "
" E 'come. We counted. Get ready, it enters the scene. "
Ryan saw the director of Lersik talk to some coaches in the middle. Just like Cavic had imagined, Yusupov was also presented at that meeting of swimming, to search for new talent to enter the stable Lersik. A shiver ran down my spine when she saw Alec and exchange a few words. Fortunately Bowman, who do not lose sight, called him back near the bench where there were his teammates.
Ryan sat down, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Milo, do not be offended, but your plan continues to be a shit".
"Very nice, Ryan. The same goes for you. "
"What plan? I do not know you talking about "he lied, pretending not to understand, although it was clear that Cavic knew what he was plotting.
"Really? Phelps will not ever forgive. Although it is not solely responsible, it still doped. You think that will ever look at her without fearing that might happen again? If so, do not know your boyfriend. "
"She's not yours anymore," said Ryan supporting the eye without fear, "Do not forget it."
Cavic ignored his challenge. Both were high on the situation and react was the best way to ditching all their efforts.
"Do as you like, but remember what is our goal. Moreover I do not care. "
Meanwhile, near the cafeteria of the College's Ray ...
"I would like a coffee-milk shake with hazelnut cream and adding a little 'cream, thanks, "he said, licking his lips. With everything that had happened had not yet been able to do breakfast and that she became unmanageable.
grabbed the tray and looked around for a vacant table. The hall was crowded and did not want to stay in the midst of all that confusion. He had the nerves on edge, because the prospect of reviewing Yusupov disgusted that day. But Cavic had insisted so much to convince her that eventually gave way, but would have preferred to enjoy in peace the first day of competition of his Alec.
He climbed the stairs without a precise destination, wandering in search of a corner to make nests and enjoy your breakfast in peace. Sat on a step, put the tray down and took a sip of coffee-milk which had ordered.
"Exquisite" he whispered, holding it with both hands above her knees curled up. A current of cold air crept under her shirt, making her shiver. Someone behind her had just come from one of the outputs of the service center, forgetting to close it.
glimpsed the shadow of a whiz kid next door and down the stairs quickly.
"The portaaa" cried she, looking annoyed. That morning, the cold air smelled of snow.
"Excuse me, but I'm in a hurry," replied the man glanced quickly out of the corner of the eye. But not enough to recognize it.
Michael froze standing on the stairs. He swallowed with difficulty and turned.
Rebecca opened her mouth and closed it.
Building.
He took a few steps in his direction.
One, two, five steps. One foot after another, slowly, without taking his eyes off her.
