The Crystal Dolphin (part 5)

"Taísa was scouring some drawers.
She was getting angry because she wasn't finding what she was looking for, and the worst part was that she had no idea about the location of it.
- Re - she grumbled with her head inside the wardrobe - Have you seen my bikini?
- Which one, nuts?
- The one with the silver brooch in the middle of the bra - she said.
- Check the other bathroom - her sister suggested.
She snorted and started to search again for the precious bikini. She wasn't sure about the reason why she wanted to use it so bad on that day. It was a Christmas gift, from the worst Christmas of her entire life. The day when that bikini turned into the most special of all her things. She even had to wait for some years until she was bigger enough to use it. However, she quickly decided to lock that part of her mind where the thoughts she didn't want to have were escaping. No. She wasn't going to think about that. Not anymore.
- Nathan!
Without noticing, she bumped into her cousin. He was already taller than Renata. His messy hair was making him look like a younger boy. On his face, she could perfectly see the Italian traces from his mother's family, like the strong jaw and those bushy eyebrows.
- Sorry, I didn't see you - she said.
She entered the bathroom and started to search. She noticed that he had followed her.
- What are you looking for?
- My bikini - she answered - My favorite one. I wanted to use it today but I don't know where it is.
- How does it look like? - he asked.
- It's blue with a lot of green-ocean spots - she explained, looking at him. She put a finger between her breasts - And it has a silver brooch right here.
- I know where it is - Nathan said.
He went back to his bedroom, followed by his cousin, and opened one of the smalls drawers of the dresser in the corner of the wall. There it was. Taísa grabbed it.
- Glad it's here - she sighed - Thank you.
- Why were you so desperate to find it? - he replied - It's just a bikini, and you have a lot of them.
- This one is special - she said. Seizing the opportunity, she kissed him on the cheek. He looked surprised about that gesture.
One day you'll understand, she thought while returning to her bedroom."
...

- Laila.
