—Vamos, Kagami, puedes hacerlo —animó Marinette empujándola para que cruzara la puerta.
—Esta es una idea pésima.
—Por favor... sólo es un concierto y habrá mucha gente, a lo mejor ni le vemos.
—Pero a lo mejor sí.
Marinette exhaló un suspiro, qué terca.
—Pues quédate aquí entonces, voy a entrar ahí —determinó señalando con el índice la puerta desde la que el de seguridad las observaba con una ceja enarcada—, a disfrutar del concierto de Kitty Section y a bailar hasta que me duelan los pies.
Kagami frunció el ceño. Se estaba comportando como una cría, lo sabía, pero la idea de toparse con aquel exnovio compartido la hacía enfurecer.
—Marinette, preferiría volver a casa y continuar con lo que hemos dejado a medias en el sofá.
Las mejillas de la diseñadora se encendieron al instante.
—Si entras conmigo y te portas bien —siseó con voz tentadora—, acabaremos lo del sofá, seguiremos en el suelo, continuaremos en la cama y donde prefieras después.
Kagami tragó saliva sintiendo la garganta seca deseando que ese concierto se acabase para poder recibir ese premio tan tentador.
—¿A qué estamos esperando?
Tomó de la mano a Marinette y cruzaron la puerta juntas tras darle las entradas al guardia de la puerta.
La sala era enorme y hacía calor, la luz tenue hacía que sintiera sus pasos algo más inseguros, en cambio Marinette se movía con facilidad conocedora de aquel espacio. Kitty Section era un grupo recurrente en aquella sala de conciertos y Marinette no se perdía ninguno.
—Vamos frente al escenario.
—Nos aplastarán.
Marinette sonrió.
—No, no estaremos detrás de la valla principal, confía en mí.
Lo hizo, se colocaron entre las dos vallas de seguridad con el beneplácito de los de seguridad. Marinette charló brevemente con Luka antes de la primera canción y, cuando las luces se apagaron, la tomó con fuerza de la mano.

La música retumbaba en su pecho, se relajó dejándose llevar por el entusiasmo de Marinette que cantaba a pleno pulmón todas las canciones del grupo mientras daba saltitos alegres al ritmo de la música. Su aura de libertad la llevó a imitarla, aunque sólo se sabía la letra de los dos primeros temas. Si la viera alguien pensaría que se había vuelto loca, porque era una actitud tan diferente a su acostumbrada rectitud que la desconcertaba hasta a ella.
El grupo tocó dos vises antes de dar el concierto por acabado y poco a poco la sala fue vaciándose. Marinette y ella seguían en aquel espacio con la adrenalina corriendo por sus venas, riéndose y moviéndose al ritmo de una música que ya había dejado de sonar. Kagami había empezado a olvidarse del motivo por el que no quería entrar, dispuesta a besar a Marinette hasta que alguien las echase o interrumpiese, pero se detuvo.
Ahí estaba Adrien Agreste con su aura de perfección eclipsando al universo. Kagami alzó la barbilla con orgullo y aferró con fuerza la mano de Marinette.
—Relájate, sólo intenta sonreír.
—De acuerdo, eso puedo hacerlo.
Adrien las miró con curiosidad, deteniendo sus ojos verdes en sus manos fuertemente entrelazadas. Les sonrió, Marinette le devolvió una sonrisa sincera y natural, Kagami frunció el ceño y dibujó una mueca forzada enseñando sus dientes blancos.
—Hola chicas, me alegro de veros.
—Hola, Adrien —musitó Marinette soltándose de la mano de Kagami para aceptar el abrazo que el joven modelo le ofrecía.
Cuando se acercó a Kagami esta lo rechazó alzando la mano derecha mostrándole la palma y girando el rostro.
—¡Ah! ¡Luka! —gritó Marinette.
El guitarrista los saludó con la mano mientras caminaba hacia Marinette, sudado, con una toalla sobre los hombros. Satisfecho, pero agotado, aceptando encantado el estrecho abrazo en el que le atrapó Marinette. A Kagami no le molestó ver como Luka repartía besos por su cara, aunque era evidente que el guitarrista seguía enamorado de ella. Marinette rió aferrándose con fuerza a su cuello y meciéndose con él al ritmo de alguna canción que sólo existía para ellos dos. A Kagami le pareció hermoso de algún modo, incluso tranquilizador, sonrió.

—Hola, Adrien —saludó cordialmente.
—Ha sido un concierto fantástico —declaró encajando su mano con fuerza.
—Gracias, creía que no podrías venir.
—Bueno, he conseguido escaparme —explicó pausado—. Pero tengo que irme ya. Sólo quería felicitarte por el éxito.
—Espero verte en el próximo.
—Cuenta con ello. Adiós, chicas.
—Adiós, Adrien —musitó alegre Marinette.
Kagami se limitó a mover la cabeza dedicándole otra sonrisa forzada.
—Me alegra volver a verte, Kagami —musitó el músico acercándose a ella, tendiéndole la mano.
—Igualmente —contestó encajándosela.
—Marinette me ha explicado que has vuelto.
Kagami notó en su tono de voz que aquel "has vuelto" no se refería sólo a su regreso a París, que encerraba algo más que se le escapaba. Miró a Marinette que tenía las mejillas pintadas de rojo encendido y tiraba, con gesto infantil, de la manga de Luka como si quisiera hacerlo callar.
—Eso parece.
—Cuídala bien, ¿de acuerdo?
Asintió viendo como Luka empujaba, con delicadeza, a Marinette hacia a ella antes de marcharse.
—¿A qué ha venido eso? —inquirió Kagami dejando un beso en sus labios.
—Bueno, ya sabes, Luka es muy observador. Descubrió que me gustabas, cuando aún estabas con Adrien.
—¿En serio?
—Tampoco es que yo sea muy discreta, debía notárseme a la legua.
Y ella no había notado nada de nada, pues sí que estaba perdida en Adrien.
¡Hola! Adrien no iba a salir, en principio, pero al final pensé que el único motivo por el que no podría sonreír Kagami sería que él apareciera. Y Luka, porque no necesito excusa para que salga.
Mañana más.
