Love's 'Choco Break'

Lying in bed and savoring a delicious Choco Break, one of my favorite chocolates, I looked at the whitish ceiling that over the years had become discolored and some black spots became surrealistic figures that danced in front of my eyes, while the chocolate was melting between my tongue and palate leaving a trail of intoxicating sweetness.

While the chocolate disappeared into the fluids of the mouth, memories came flooding back and I remembered the day when Choco Break became my favorite chocolate. An emotional flashback swirled back to a time when love became the only moment when I was thrilled and felt loved in every fiber and pore of my skin.

I closed my eyes as the chocolate melted in my mouth leaving that delicious smooth sweetness. Behind my pupils, my eyes danced uncontrollably to the rhythm of the images captured on a mental monitor. I took a deep breath and surrendered myself to the delirium of memories, which sailed like gondolas through the canals of Venice.

I saw myself in a time not too far away and not too near. I was leaving the university with Jasmine, a charming girl, with a touch of obscurantism in her look, deep black hair, and a sexy piercing on the side of her nose. She had a lovely smile that bewitched.

After a long day of notes, explanations, exams, and worries about semester results, we left with a hint of rest and sleep. Jasmine took my hand and said, “Come see my boyfriend, please.”

“Come on, I don't have much to do, haha.” We made our way to the right place, amidst laughter and anecdotes.

The afternoon was advancing fast, after walking for a few minutes we arrived at the meeting point. She picked up her cell phone and after several attempts, her boyfriend answered. I listened to the conversation that quickly turned into a fight. The screams were not long coming and finally, Jazmin hung up, furious she looked at me, “That man is stupid, I'm going to finish with him, I can't stand him anymore.”

“Calm down, think things through with a cool head. Take a deep breath and let's go have a drink to get over your anger.” I took Jasmine by her soft hand and we went to look for a place to spend a pleasant moment and forget the bitter drink.

We arrived at a bar, darkness reigned in the place, and at times it was appeased by a faint red light. Rock music was playing, while we had a few beers, to improve our mood after that unfortunate episode.

Those faded crimson-red braces looked lovely under the dim light that illuminated us sporadically. Her beautiful face took on a new tinge of sensuality and I was spellbound.

After the alcohol had taken its effect we left the place and the night with a little cold welcomed us. I hugged her to mitigate the chilly breeze. Jazmin looked at a small store and dashed, with a little shuffle of feet she reached the place, and asked to be served, from inside a woman peeked out, already old and with a patience as infinite as the universe, she asked, “What do you want, Miss?”

“Please, ma'am, give me two Choco Break.” Jasmine managed to modulate the lyrics well despite the alcohol in her blood. She came back to me and happy for what she had achieved, stretched out her hand then offered me the small chocolate.

At that moment, something wonderful happened, while we were enjoying that chocolate, I remember Jasmine putting her arms on my shoulders. We stood looking at each other and then she brought her lips to mine and still with the sweet chocolate in our mouths, a passionate kiss was born. Those minutes were the most magical and sweetest I had ever experienced in my entire life.

I came out of my memories, while the delicious sweetness of Choco Break disappeared in my mouth. After that passionate semester, Jasmine never returned to the university, I never heard from her again, she had vanished like the delicious Choco Break. The only thing that remained of her was that sublime moment of that kiss and the taste of the Choco Break that became one of my favorites.

"Choco break" del amor

Recostado en la cama y saboreando un delicioso Choco Break, uno se mis chocolates favoritos, miraba el techo blanquecino que con los años se había hecho descolorido y algunas manchas negras se convertían en figuras surrealistas que bailaban frente a mis ojos, en tanto el chocolate se iba deshaciendo entre mi lengua y el paladar dejando una estela de dulce embriagador.

Mientras el chocolate iba desapareciendo entre los líquidos bucales, los recuerdos venían en por montones y recordé el día en que el Choco Break se convirtió en mi chocolate favorito. Un retrospectiva emocional se arremolinaba en un tiempo donde el amor se convirtió en el único momento donde fui verdaderamente feliz y me sentí amado en cada fibra y poro de mi piel.

Cerré los ojos en tanto el chocolate había deshecho en mi boca dejando ese delicioso dulzor suave. Detrás de las pupilas los ojos bailan incontenibles al ritmo de las imágenes plasmadas en un monitor mental. Respire profundo y me entregué al delirio de los recuerdos, que navegaban como góndolas por los canales de Venecia.

Me vi en una época no muy lejana ni tampoco cercana. Salía de la universidad con Jazmín, una encantadora chica, con un toque de oscurantismo en su mirar, pelo negro intenso y un piercing sexy en un lado de su nariz. Ella tenía una sonrisa encantadora, que hechizaba a cualquiera.

Después de un largo día entre notas, explicaciones, exámenes y preocupaciones por resultados del semestre, salíamos con un dejo de descanso y sueño. Jazmín tomó mi mano y me dijo, «Acompañame a ver a mi novio, por favor».

«Vamos, no tengo mucho que hacer, jaja». Nos encaminamos a lugar indicado, entre risas y anécdotas.

La tarde avanzaba rápido, después de caminar por algunos minutos llegamos al punto de encuentro. Ella tomó su celular y después de varios intentos su novio contestó. Yo escuchaba la conversación que rápidamente se convirtió en una pelea. Los gritos no se hicieron esperar y finalmente Jazmín colgó, furiosa me miraba, «Ese hombre es un estúpido, voy a terminar con él, ya no lo aguanto más».

«Cálmate, piensa las cosas con cabeza fría. Respira profundo y vamos a tomar algo para que se te pase el enojo». Tomaba a Jazmín de su suave mano y nos íbamos a buscar un lugar para pasar un momento agradable y olvidar el trago amargo.

Llegamos a un bar, las tinieblas predominaban en el lugar, de cuando en cuando aplacadas por una tenue luz roja. La música rock sonaba, mientras tomábamos unas cervezas, para mejorar el ánimo después de aquel episodio desafortunado.

Aquellos frenillos de color rojo carmesí atenuado, lucían encantadores bajo aquella luz tenue que nos iluminaba esporádicamente. Su bello rostro cobró un nuevo tinte de sensualidad y yo estaba hechizado.

Luego de que el alcohol hiciera su efecto salimos del lugar y la noche con un poco de frío nos daba la bienvenida. Yo la abrace para mitigar un poco la brisa gélida. Jazmín miró una pequeña tienda y corrió rápidamente, con un pequeño trastrabillar de pies llego hasta el lugar, pidió que la atendieran, desde adentro se asomó una mujer, ya mayor y con una paciencia tan infinita como el universo, preguntaba, «¿Qué se le ofrece, señorita?».

«Por favor, señora, deme dos Choco Break». Jazmín lograba modular bien las letras a pesar del alcohol en su sangre. Regresaba a mí y contenta por lo conseguido, estiró su mano luego me ofreció el pequeño chocolate.

En ese instante, paso algo maravilloso, mientras disfrutábamos de aquel chocolate, recuerdo que Jazmín puso sus brazos en mis hombros. Nos quedamos mirando y luego acerco sus labios a los míos y aún con el dulce chocolate en las bocas, un beso apasionado nació. Aquellos minutos fueron los más mágicos y dulces que había vivido en toda mi vida.

Volví de mis recuerdos, en tanto que en mi boca iba desapareciendo el delicioso dulzor del Choco Break. Después de ese semestre apasionado, Jazmín no regreso más a la universidad, no volví a saber de ella, se había esfumado como el delicioso Choco Break. Lo único que me quedo de ella fue aquel momento sublime de ese beso y el gusto por el Choco Break que se volvió uno de mis favoritos.

El chocolate es el excelente hilo conductor de la historia. El lector puede formarse la imagen del sentimiento que narras a través del sabor dulce del chocolate.

Me gustó el relato. 👍

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your kind comment. I'm so glad you liked the story. These are difficult moments in life to forget.

Excellent day.

The love shouldn't have ended like that😭😭. Jasmine had better come back to finish what she started. This is a very beautiful love story. I enjoyed reading it. I just wish Jasmine can come back

There are situations that cannot be controlled, there are moments in life that do not turn out as we wish.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving your kind comment.

Good day.
