Episode 8

HEITOR SMITH...

It was all I needed, no woman ever refused to accept anything from me...

And I know this game very well, but she's going to get burned.

I snap out of my trance and go to the car, and stay there answering some emails. I see that Vitoria sent a message, asking me to give Alice a ride...

That was all I needed, no fucking way. I answer the message, saying it won't be possible and I'll be busy.

I start driving.

I go to several places, and when I get home it's already past 9:30 pm. I grab some things I bought and enter the house, coming face to face with my father, Cesar, and my mother. They were sitting on the couch talking...

VITORIA: Hey, where's Alice? she says, looking behind me.

HEITOR: Am I anyone's babysitter by any chance? I say, sitting down on the couch.

I confess that when she asked, I felt a pang, but I ignored it.

EVA: But it's late, I wonder what happened? My mother says worriedly.

CESAR: I wonder if she didn't go out with someone?

The urge I had was to jump on Cesar and beat him up, but I kept my cool and just scoffed. My father just held back his laughter.

VITORIA: That wouldn't be a bad idea... You know what? I'm going to call her. She says, picking up her cell phone.

I watched the faces Vitoria made. I took a glass of whiskey, and after a while Vitoria hung up the phone, happy.

EVA: So what happened?

VITORIA: She was coming here, but she was invited to sleep over at some friends of ours'. She said, directing every word at me...

EVA: It's good that she's making friends. Well, I'm leaving tomorrow, the rest of the family is coming.

HEITOR: So be it, good night. I say, going up the stairs.

What's happening to me? What the hell? I go into the bathroom and take a long shower, and then I go back to the room, lie down on the bed and try to sleep, but I can't. Just imagining that she-devil is with her little friends fills me with hate. You know what? Screw her. I don't care.

ALICIA GARCIA...

It was a beautiful night. Matteo and the girls invited me to spend the night with them. Well, everything was perfect. We looked at several magazines with different models, and Matteo almost screamed when he saw the almost naked men, lol. He's a riot. We made brigadeiro and had ice cream. We went to sleep, it was already midnight...

The next morning, I woke up, did my hygiene and started getting ready to go back to the mansion. Matteo and the girls gave me a ride, or rather, took me to the mansion...

After I arrived, I thanked them for the ride and went in. I went straight to my room, changed clothes and went down for a run.

It was a beautiful day. I put on my headphones and started to warm up.

Minutes later, I was going back to the mansion when I saw several cars parked. I tried to go unnoticed, but to no avail...

MAN: Wow, where did this angel come from? A man said, approaching me. Who are you?

ALICIA: Nice to meet you, I'm Alicia. I said, greeting the man.

MAN: I'm Eduardo.

ALICIA: If you'll excuse me, I have to go.

Before the man could say anything, the way he looked at me gave me chills. I entered the house, coming face to face with Heitor. I just ignored him and went straight to my room.

HEITOR SMITH...

I was going down the stairs when I heard my cousin's conversation with Alicia. I didn't like the way he was looking at her. The she-devil didn't help by wearing that tight outfit that showed off everything…

She passed me like a hurricane.

I sit on the living room couch and see Eduardo still looking towards the stairs at that son of a bitch...

HEITOR: Lose something?

EDUARDO: Why didn't anyone tell me paradise was here? He says, referring to Alicia.

HEITOR: What do you mean? I start to play dumb.

EDUARDO: Come on, don't tell me you haven't seen that Alicia girl. I want her, and I'm going to get her. He says maliciously.

Who does this son of a bitch think he is? He's going to get what's coming to him.

HEITOR: I'm sorry to tell you this, but she's already taken.

EDUARDO: Nothing I can't handle.

Wait, what? No, not that.

HEITOR: Good luck. I say, getting up from the couch.

I go up to my room and lock the door. I'm burning with rage. I can't wait for this wedding to happen and for everyone to go their separate ways. I don't go out for lunch and I spend the rest of the day in my room. Tomorrow night is the wedding…

ALICIA GARCIA...

I watched everything from my bedroom window. Vitoria's family is big. I was ashamed to go down, wasn't I? Maybe because Eduardo was all over me I was embarrassed. I lay down on the bed and tried to get some sleep.

I woke up and it was already 5 pm. I got up, washed my face and went down for a walk on the beach.

Minutes later I was walking peacefully when I heard someone call my name. I looked back and saw Eduardo coming towards me. I turned around to go back to the house, but it was no use...

EDUARDO: Hi again, what a coincidence, huh? He says, trying to get to me. I already know this game.

ALICIA: Yes, it is. My time's up, I need to get back. I say, trying to turn around, but I'm pulled by Eduardo.

EDUARDO: Calm down, kitten, I know you're taken, but it's no use.

What? What do you mean, taken? Anyway, whoever made that up, I'll get even later. Now I have to get rid of this jerk.

ALICIA: Yes, I am, now let me go! I say, pulling my arm away.

EDUARDO: Feisty, just the way I like it. He says, trying to approach me again.

ALICIA: I have to go! I say, running away.

Without looking back, I ran until I reached the mansion. Before turning around, I looked back and bumped into someone who quickly pulled me to keep me from falling.

I opened my eyes and came face to face with Heitor holding me. His eyes pierced me in a surreal way...
