*Maite on*
Mariana and I had so much to talk about, we were chatting and didn't see the time pass.
It was already night, I called my grandma to say that I would be home soon.
Mariana- Friend, I'm going to take a shower to take you home.
Maite- Okay, I'll wait.
I'm going to send a message to my mother, she must be worried, I haven't given her any news.
I sent a message to my mother, that I arrived okay. While Mariana finished her shower.
She left and took me to my grandmother's house, it's been so long that I could easily get lost here.
Mariana- There's a party here tomorrow, shall we go?
Carol and I go every weekend.
Maite- Party?
I don't know, I'm not a big fan.
Back in Floripa I went to some clubs, almost dragged along
(I said laughing)
Mariana- No girl, you don't understand.
Here the thing is another level, I'm sure you'll like it. In the old days we didn't go because we were underage.
Maite- True, but I'll check with my grandma. I'll let you know.
We went down the streets, there were many more armed men now at night, it was all so normal for everyone.
We arrived at my grandmother's house, I said goodbye to Mariana with a hug and went inside.
My grandmother was sleeping on the sofa, poor thing.
I woke her up calmly, helped her go to her room.
I took a shower and lay down in my room.
I think Pedro doesn't live here anymore, Mariana didn't even mention his name, is he okay?
Well, I hope so, tomorrow is a new day, I want to enjoy it with my grandmother, I want to see Carol who I haven't seen yet.
I'm going to stay here for 1 month, I want to catch up with everyone.
I lie there thinking about life, and the past until I fall asleep.
...
Next day.
I wake up, do my hygiene and go to the kitchen.
From afar I already smell a wonderful smell of brewed coffee, wow it's been so long since I had brewed coffee.
Rosa- Good morning daughter, did you sleep well?
Did you rest?
Maite- Good morning grandma, I slept like a baby.
Rosa- Sit down daughter, there's fresh coffee, cheese bread that you love and pancakes.
Maite- You are the best.
We had coffee and talked.
My grandmother said that I can go to Mariana's whenever I want, that I'm an adult and I don't need to give her satisfaction.
But I came more to see her and spend more time with her, catch up. She said that I have to enjoy and have fun, and commented on the party, said that I should go with Mariana.
Maite- Grandma, I'm going to stay in the living room today, I have college work to do.
Rosa- Feel free, the house is yours.
I'm going out to the market.
Maite- Don't you want help?
Rosa- Don't worry, the boys on the street always help me with the bags.
These are the advantages of old age
(She said laughing)
My grandmother left and I took my notebook and sat in the living room, I had a job to deliver by 12:00.
1 hour passed, my grandmother arrived, made lunch while I finished the job.
When I finished I went to lunch with her, washed the dishes and put them away.
We sat in the living room to wait for her soap opera.
It was so funny to watch, her cursing the characters, as if they could hear her.
I spent the afternoon with her, we made a chocolate cake, some of her female friends came to see me again, some to meet me.
All very nice, from what I saw they meet some days of the week for an afternoon tea. I thought it was amazing.
...
It was already 8:00 pm, I sent a message to Mariana letting her know that I was going to the party.
I took a shower, did my hair, put on a dress and heels and did a light make up.
Soon Mariana knocked on the door, Carol was with her.
She made such a fuss when she saw me, screamed, cried and hugged me, I had forgotten that she was crazy.
Mariana- Let's show Maite what fun is.
(She said smiling at Carol)
Maite- Why does it seem like you're leading me down the wrong path?
(I said jokingly)
Carol- My angel, we are the wrong path.
(We all burst out laughing, as we climbed the hill)
From afar you could already hear the funk songs playing, I was already tired, it's not easy to climb all this in heels.
...
* PH on*
Today there's a party on my hill, it's the day that makes the most money, you know?
As always I'm here in the VIP box having a view of the whole party.
Jessica is here twerking on me, in a micro dress while I'm sitting.
GB is here waiting for his girl, Carol.
And MT is waiting for my sister.
MT- I'm going down, my girl arrived.
GB: You can believe it, I'm going too.
PH- See you later you assholes.
I continued sitting, drinking, with Jessica constantly trying to kiss me.
I don't kiss girls who suck everyone, get out.
MT- Your sister brought a friend, did you see?
PH- And why would I want to know? I'm not a gossiper dude.
MT- The girl is hot though, and she doesn't seem to be from here.
Soon DG also came up.
DG- Damn, what a hot girl your sister brought, brother.
PH- Even you DG, it seems like you've never seen a woman, damn.
Jessica- It can't be all that, she must be sausage water
(She said laughing)
MT- It's nothing like that, the girl looks like Pati, all dolled up.
With all due respect to your sister PH.
PH- Damn everyone is talking, I'll have to go there and check it out.
(I said pushing Jessica off my lap)
I went down the stairs and from afar I saw the girls, Mariana and Carol, there was a girl with her back turned.
Think of a hot body my brother, you're crazy.
I went past everyone, who greeted me, I arrived at them.
PH- Hey sis, all good?
Mariana- Hi brother, I'm fine.
Here you won't believe it, look who's here.
For a moment the world stopped, my heart was racing, my hands were sweating, it seemed like that moment was frozen.
I couldn't believe who was in front of me, the girl that everyone was talking about, it was Maite, yes the only girl I've ever loved in my life.
And she was even more beautiful than back then, she was well dressed, with a perfect body, straight hair and her face looked like an angel.
I almost had a heart attack being face to face with her, it seems like she did too.
Because we stood there looking at each other without saying a single word.
Mariana- Hey? Wake up, you're drooling
(She said snapping her fingers making me lose focus)
PH- Shut up Mariana.
Hey Maite, long time no see.
(I said holding out my hand to greet her)
She held out her hand, holding mine and pulling me in for a kiss on the cheek.
She was even more beautiful up close, smelling great.
Maite- Hi Pedro, true, it's been a long time.
Mariana- Enough brother, you've said your hello.
Now you can go, your bitch is having an attack up there.
PH- Mine my ass.
(I said still looking into Maite's eyes, who by the way was doing the same.)
Carol- iih it looks like PH saw a ghost.
(She said laughing)
PH- I'm going up, then hang out up there with the girls (I said to Mari) and went up.
Maite on
I was in shock, I just met the boy I loved most in my life again.
He was even more handsome, despite the empty look.
He was even taller, muscular and full of tattoos.
When I saw him, my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my mouth, I really wasn't expecting to find him here, I thought he didn't even live here anymore.
He greeted me and went up to the VIP box, it seemed like he was important, everyone greeted him when he passed by, I didn't fail to notice a blonde girl up there who was looking at me with a angry look. She must be his girlfriend, that's a sign for me to stay away.
Just seeing him again was worth it.
Mariana decided to get some drinks, she and Carol didn't stop looking at the VIP box, where their boyfriends were.
There were many girls there, dancing to the ground.
Mariana- Let's go up girls?
Carol and I agreed and went through the middle of the people.
I couldn't take my eyes off Pedro, while we were going up he also didn't take his eyes off me.
We arrived at the top of the stairs, there were two armed men, one of them was Gago, the boy who helped me with the suitcase yesterday.
He smiled.
Gago- Hey princess, how are you?
Maite- Hi Gago, all good?
Mariana- I already realized that you are well known friend
(She said laughing)
Maite- Stop with the nonsense girl, Gago helped me with the suitcase and find my grandmother's house.
Gago- With great pleasure princess.
(He held out his hand to help me climb the stairs)
Maite- Thank you
(I said, blowing a kiss at him)
My eyes went back to Pedro, who had a girl on his lap.
But he was looking at me, he seemed bothered by something.
We arrived up there, Mariana introduced me to the other boys.
Each one sat with her boyfriend, and I sat on a sofa in the corner, I was enjoying the sound and drinking.
I was avoiding looking at Pedro because his girlfriend might get uncomfortable.
When I looked, he pushed the girl off his lap, she got very angry, but he looked at her and she went down the stairs furious, passed by me, with a terrible look.
The girls were with their boyfriends, sitting on their laps.
When I saw Pedro get up and come in my direction.
PH- May I?
(He said pointing to the sofa next to me)
Maite- Sure.
(I said giving a slight smile)
PH- I thought I would never see you again.
(He said taking a sip of his Whiskey looking at the people down there)
Maite- Yeah, I thought so too.
PH- I waited a long time for news from you, but it never came.
When he said that, my heart accelerated even more.
Maite- Well, life ended up separating us.
He looked at me with a calm look, swallowed hard. And stared at me for a few seconds.
PH- I wanted to talk to you, in another place.
Can it be tomorrow?
Maite- Well, I think it can.
If it's not a problem.
(I said referring to his girlfriend)
PH- No problem.
Pedro went back to where he was sitting before, he didn't stop looking at me and I couldn't take my eyes off him either.
The girls decided to go down to dance down there.
We spent some time dancing, I had never had so much fun.
I'm sure Anna will love it here, she loves a party.
Speaking of that, I'm going to send her a photo.
The girls and I went to the bathroom, went back to the bar, got some drinks and went to dance.
When I looked at Pedro he was already looking at me.
That look of his made me all bristly and embarrassed.
The hours were passing, and the girls were already tired. We decided to leave.
Mariana invited me to sleep at her house, so I went, I didn't want to wake up my grandma at 4 in the morning.
MT Mariana's boyfriend drove us to her house.
We arrived, Mariana went to her room, and Carol too. Carol also lived here. And there were 2 more rooms, one she said I could enter and the other at the end of the hall she said I couldn't enter under any circumstances, I didn't question it, I just agreed.
I took a shower, put on a nightgown from Mari that she lent me and lay down on the bed.
I was messing with my cell phone, but I lost focus, every time I remembered Pedro's look. I was thirsty so I decided to go get water.
I passed by the girls' rooms, they were both sleeping.
I went down the stairs, it was all dark, I went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator and got some water. I sat on the counter still in the dark.
PH- There's light here, you know?
(He said turning on the light)
Maite- Wow what a scare boy. I didn't know where the switch was. What are you doing here?
PH- I live here
(He said laughing)
Maite- Oh sorry, I didn't know.
PH- Lost sleep?
Maite- Yes, and you?
PH- Actually I'm just arriving from the street now.
He must have been with his girlfriend, obviously.
And how didn't I think he lived here?
He was so handsome, and he looked at me deep in my eyes, as if he knew all my secrets.
PH- Want to talk? We can go to the living room.
Maite- Okay, let's go.
PH- I'll get the ice cream.
We sat on the sofa he had a pint of chocolate ice cream and two spoons, sat next to me. It seemed like I was dreaming.
Maite- I remembered when we used to sit on the sidewalk to have ice cream.
PH- I remember that too.
We spent a good time talking, eating ice cream.
At that moment it seemed like we were those two teenagers again.
We laughed a lot, that moment was doing me so good.
PH- So, my parents died in a confrontation with the police.
Maite- Wow, that's sad. I'm so sorry.
PH- It's okay. Now it doesn't hurt as much as before. I have to tell you. I'm in my father's place now.
Maite- How so?
PH- In command of the hill.
I froze at that moment, I thought he had taken a different path.
I even thought that he had left RJ.
That's why everyone at the party greeted him.
Well, I have no right to give my opinion on anything, he went through so much and I wasn't here to be his shoulder to cry on, as I always was.
Maite- Wow, that really caught me by surprise. But that's okay, the life is yours.
Well, I'm going now, sleep is already hitting.
PH- Okay then. I'm going too.
We went up the stairs, he went to the end of the hall that Mari had told me not to enter under any circumstances.
Apparently that was his room, right next to mine.
Maite- Good night then.
I'm happy to be here.
PH- Me too, you don't know how much.
He gave me a smile and entered his room.
I entered mine, closed the door and lay down.
I spent some time thinking about our conversation, remembering the past.
I ended up sleeping when it was dawn.
.........
... PH On ...
When I arrived from the party, I went to the kitchen to drink water and Maite was there in the dark, sitting.
She got a scare when she saw me, man she was so beautiful, in a tiny nightgown, and those eyes, that smile.
Holy shit my shorty was even more beautiful than ever.
We spent some time talking, about everything, we laughed. I wanted that moment to freeze, to never end. We went to our rooms.
The woman I loved most in my life was in my house, in the room next to mine.
I confess that I went to her door about 3 times, but I didn't have the courage to knock.
It's all very recent, and all I want to do is not upset her, or hurt her.
I don't know how long she's going to stay, but I want to get closer to her.
I kept thinking about her until I fell asleep
