Bruno
"Damn it, how could he do this to me? A guy, all this time and I'm falling for another dude, shit! How did he pretend so well? Son of a bitch."
I didn't talk to her, I mean, him, again. But I didn't have the courage to uninstall the app either; he hasn't sent any more messages either. I was in a very bad mood, I already have little patience when I'm normal, imagine now. I've already sent half the world to hell, I have no patience to deal with anyone today.
"Hey, asshole, what's up with you today, bro? You seem possessed."
"Buzz off, Breno, it's none of your business."
"You know, Bruno, screw you then, you always tell me everything, I don't know why you're acting like this now."
"Leave me alone, Breno, I don't have to tell you everything that happens in my life, damn it."
That's when the unbearable Bia arrived, bless her heart, I love my brother, but honestly? I never liked her, Breno got with her when she was only 15, spoiled her rotten, now she thinks she's the queen of the slums, and I know her biggest fear is me finding a steady girl to compete with her. Bia is insufferable and nobody likes her, because she treats everyone like they're less than her, and her annoying sister Cintia is no better.
The little brat arrived complaining to Breno that her car was broken. I got out of there to avoid saying something I'd regret, went to the office, closed the accounts with the guys and Breno, was already leaving for home when I heard the annoying one talking about the guy from the book.
"Did you see the notice the author posted, Cintia? Actually, she's not a she, it's a he." - Bia
"What? You're kidding, right? No way." - Cintia
"Yes, he posted saying he's a man, and that he never corrected us because he didn't want to be rude, but he never pretended to be a woman and wanted to clear up the misunderstanding." - Bia
"Wow, but actually he never said he was a woman, we just misunderstood." - Cintia
I kept thinking about what Cintia said, about me misunderstanding, then I looked at all the messages, and I saw that he really never said anything about being a woman, and I always called him "love" or "sunshine." The first time I said "princess" and called him "her," he went and said he was a man.
The fact that I knew he didn't try to deceive me didn't help much, I was still angry, I was really liking this relationship, and now I'll have to be without him because I don't want to get involved with a guy.
I ended up reading what he posted on the app, he said he wasn't a woman and never wanted to deceive anyone, I think he wrote that part for me.
Eduardo
My routine at the clinic remains the same, double shifts, for me, for the snake Cintia, and for Dr. Carlos too. But I don't mind because I've received a lot of love from my patients and that makes me happy and fulfilled.
Oh, and I also decided to write my own story, you know, leaving Sao Paulo, coming to live here in Rio in the slums, filled me with inspiration and I decided to take a chance. It turns out that a lot of people liked the story, people started commenting, praising my writing and I was even happier, everything was going well.
Until one day I received a message on the app, it was from a guy, he said he was the boss of the slums, but I'm not sure. We started talking and he asked for my number, of course I didn't give it to him, who knows if he's not some homophobic crazy person who just wants to beat me up, it wouldn't be the first time.
I gave him my Skype, there's no personal information about me there, so it's all good.
Except things got more serious than I thought, we started talking every day, all the time for a whole month. He was very affectionate, and always called me "sunshine" or "love," I always woke up to a good morning message from him, he made me feel important, special, and unique. I know he may not be who he says he is, that this could all be an illusion, but please don't judge me for trying.
One day he said he wanted to meet me, it made me sad, I'll never agree, I know how that ends and I'm not interested in going through that again. But then he said something that made me realize why he was so affectionate and wanted to meet me, he thought I was a woman.
When I cleared everything up and said I was a man, he did exactly what I expected, he disappeared. I'm sure he'll never want to talk to me again.
I cleared things up with my readers, and made it clear that I'm a man, so I wouldn't have to go through that again.
It's been two weeks without talking to my internet crush, it's really bad not getting my good morning message, not talking to him about my day, not having him talk about the weird things he likes to eat. At the end of the day, all I have left is my work.
Today is a very boring Thursday, nothing to do, Manu is now always at parties every night, I hardly see her. I was alone watching a movie when I got a notification on my phone, it was him, my crush, he's back, I don't know whether to be scared or happy, what does he want?
B1\- Hi
Lovely Writer: Hi, you're back, I thought you'd never want to talk to me again.
B1: Yeah, me too. But now I want to see you.
Lovely Writer: Sorry, but I can't.
B1: Why not?
Lovely Writer: Why do you want to see me so badly?
B1: I need to clear something up. I want to call you, you don't have to show yourself if you don't want to, but I want to test something. But I want to hear your voice.
Lovely Writer: Okay.
~~~~~~ Messages Off~~~~~~~~~~~~
Of course I wouldn't let him see me, what if he just wanted to know who I was so he could get revenge on me? I can't trust him. Now, about this call, I can't believe I agreed, obviously I won't turn on the camera, but even so, I'm nervous.
I stare at the phone screen anxiously, not knowing how this will end.
