As Maria ever so slowly backed away from Marko, she started to look up towards his eyes, but the first thing that she locked her gaze onto has his lips. She started to memorize every little grove on his upper and lower lips while thinking. If the eyes are the gateway to the soul, then lips are definitely the gateway to sensuality.
She slowly took one-step back while not taking her eyes off Marko’s lips and asked, “Would you like something to drink?”
“Coffee if you any brewed, but if you don’t water will do.” He reluctantly released his grip on Maria as she started to turn and walk toward the kitchen. Marko did not know what to do next. What am I doing here? He turned and sat down on the couch behind him.
Maria entered the kitchen with the grace of a ballerina. She gliding from the cabinet door to the refrigerator with two glasses, as she pulled open the refrigerator to grab the jug of water she was thinking. He’s here; he’s in my living room. She pours the water into the glasses. He is here! She places the jug of water on the counter. What does these mean? I have wanted this for a very long time. Maria grabs both glasses of water a slowly starts to walk back into the living room.
“All that I have is water,” Maria said.
“That works for me,” Marko replied while Maria placed the glass of water into his hand. “So how is school going?”
“It’s going well,” Maria replied as she sat next to Marko in the couch. “I only have one more year left and then I have a choice to make. Do I stay and look for a job and settle down or, do I go to Vermont for graduate school. What do you think?”
Marko did not know how to answer the question. He thought If I say that she should stay, she might look to deep into that. However, I tell her that she should go to Vermont she might look too much into that as well. Marko slowly took a slip of water and then answered, “The one that gives you the best opportunity.”
“So you think I should go?” Maria asked.
“That’s not what I am say Maria,” Marko turned and looked deep into her eyes. “You need to do what is best for you. If you want to continue school, then continue school. If you want to stay and find a job here, then find a job here.” However, he eyes were telling Maria a completely different answer. They were saying, quite loudly; don’t go, stay here with me.
Without breaking eye contact with Marko, Maria placed her water on the side table and said, “Why don’t you tell the answer that you can’t say.”
Marko knew that Maria knew what his eyes were telling her. “I can’t Maria.” He turned his head, breaking eye contact with Maria, “You know why.”
“I know but, at this moment, I don’t care about that.” Maria sat up and took Marko’s glass out of his hand a placed it on the side table beside hers. She leaned in, looked into Marko’s, and said, “Marko, if that mattered right now then you wouldn’t be here with me now.”
“Maria,” Marko started to say, but Maria had a different plan.
She leaned in a passionately kissed Marko before he could say another word. Maria started to run her hand slowly down Marko’s left arm, starting at his shoulder working her hand to his elbow, then down to his wrist. As Maria started to slowly feel all of Marko’s fingers, she brushed something that she forgot about. Marko’s wedding ring.
