Benjamin...
Bryan and I arrived in Oxford last night for our beloved cousin Mike's wedding. We're taking the opportunity to spend the holidays here in Los Angeles with our family.
We had a lovely dinner with all the family at our grandparents' house, Francisco and Helena. This was the bachelor party chosen by the couple.
We woke up very early and went to Uncle Tiago's mansion.
We spent the day at a barbecue with all the men in the family, including Mike's father-in-law and brother-in-law. My cousin was visibly nervous, counting the hours and seconds until the big moment arrived.
In the evening, we went to get ready.
Hours passed and finally the big moment arrived.
I went downstairs to fix my tie and met my parents in the living room.
"It's beautiful, son!" says Mom, coming closer.
"Thanks, Mom!"
"I can't wait to walk into church with you one day!" fix my tie.
"Benjamin will only get married in the next incarnation! If there is such a thing..." says Anelive, going downstairs.
I narrow my gaze and stick my tongue out at the girl, who laughs.
"Anelive's right, Mom! This marriage thing wasn't meant for me! I was born to be alone!"
"It's all about the party, isn't it!" says my dear little sister, putting her hand on my shoulder.
Our father places a kiss on her forehead, they praise her.
"Aren't you going to say anything, bro?" he asks, with one hand on his waist.
"We're late!" I say and she slaps me lightly on the shoulder. "Just kidding! You look beautiful, but I'm sure my sweet sister Helena will look even more beautiful, because she's my face!"
She laughs.
"Poor thing, don't offend our sister's beauty! She's beautiful because she took after our father! And I'm beautiful because I inherited my mother's beauty!"
"No beauty in the world can match Mom's!"
"They haven't even met and they're already at each other's throats!" says Heleninha, coming down the stairs with her sweet and delicate way.
"They've been like that since they were kids! I'm not saying anything else!" says our mother.
"Because you know that we both love each other and picking on each other is part of our love!" I say, pulling Anelive into a side hug.
Helena approaches us and we give each other a triple hug: with them I am a caring, loving, playful and true man. Our parents join in the emotional hug.
"Do you remember when a boy pushed Anelive at school and the next day he went to the school, lifted the boy by the collar and threatened him?" says Helena.
"How can we forget that we were called to school that day!" says Mom.
We laughed.
"Nobody messes with my little sisters!"
"Let's go at once, otherwise we'll be late!" says Dad.
We headed to our grandparents' mansion, as the ceremony would take place in their immense garden.
I was Ivy's date, Bryan's sister.
As we entered, my eyes fell on the beautiful girl who was singing.
......"What a wonderful woman!"......
I was breathless with her beauty, her penetrating gaze, her plump mouth, her slim body with beautiful curves and her voice that sounded like an angel, leaving me spellbound.
Throughout the ceremony, I watched the girl's every move. I like to analyze my flirts of the night, so I know the best way to approach them and get what I want.
I'm not going to deny it, the ceremony was very beautiful and moved many of the guests.
We went to the reception and I stayed with my cousins at one of the tables, chatting and drinking whisky.
I notice when the singer goes to the bar.
I excuse myself from the table and disguisedly go to the bar.
The girl just asks for a water.
"Please, two glasses of champagne!" I say to the waiter, staring at the girl. "One for me and one for the beautiful lady!"
I notice that my presence leaves her a little bewildered.
"D... I'm sorry, but I don't drink, especially during working hours!"
"Just one glass won't hurt!"
One of the boys from the band signals to her.
"Thanks for the drink, but duty calls!" she says with a shy smile.
..."I love shy girls!"...
Clumsily, she heads towards the stage, but looks back at me a few times.
"You really don't get it, do you?" says Bryan, coming up to me.
Shrugging, taking a sip of my champagne, watching the girl take her place on the stage.
"Well, looks like she didn't give you the time of day!" he teases.
"Care to bet that she'll end up in my bed by the end of the night?"
"You know I'm not the type to make silly bets, especially when it comes to people! Women deserve to be loved, respected, and what you do is not to my liking!"
"I don't do anything wrong! I'm a perfect man, I say what they want to hear, I drive them crazy in a wild night of pleasure and..."
"And then you discard them, as if they were disposable cups! Man, that's not my style!"
I shrug and turn my gaze back to the girl who is now singing. Every now and then, our eyes meet.
Bryan and I are pulled onto the dance floor by the girls and we have a great time.
I love my family and the moments we spend together.
