MANDY POV
I don´t know if the reason is, that everything is so new to me, but I can´t have enough of Mark. His presence, his sweetness, his thoughts.
And I´m am so lucky that he is patient with me. Because, I mean, it´s like if he is under investigation or something.
I question him, and question, and search his feelings, from the smallest to the dearest.
Some people explore the space, others explore pyramids. I dive in the most wonderful exploration of my boyfriend´s personality. He has become my world. And what a beautiful world it is. Inside and outside.
MARK

Chapter 26 – Grandma and Grandpa & Nana and Papa
MANDY POV When I was born my parents lived on a farm. It belonged to my dad´s family. He built a small house for him and mom in his family´s land. It was like a nest of love and fun. To this day I remember dad´s laughter. There is not even one bad day in my memory, but I think it is just normal because he was a happy newlywed man with his firstborn. My feet almost never touched the ground, because when it was not mom or dad carrying me around, it was Papa John or Nana Helen. Papa John is the typical cowboy. Always wearing a hat, and leather clothes. My father was not so much, since he was half businessman, in charge of trading the cattle or buying new land too. But Papa John was always on a horse´s back, riding the fields and he seldom left the farm to go to the city. He is happy this way. Nana Helen´s hobby is sewing. She makes beautiful clothes for all of us. Even for my dolls, at that time. And to have complete bliss, every day my m
Chapter 27 – CEO in love

That, it is a part of me?It seems silly but I don`t get tired of saying to Carol, “You are a part of me. I love you.” She gets a little shy and it only tempts me to declare again and again, “I love you, Carol. You are my life.”The first time she said, ‘I love you, Arthur’, it was like hearing the most perfect symphony. Now I just thirst to hear more. And she says.

And the material things, more to
Chapter 28 – Home sweet palace
CAROL POVI told Arthur that enough silliness is enough. We had been dating for months now and I still hadn´t visited his home.“I want to go now, Arthur. Enough excuses.”“Maybe you won´t like the house, Carol.”“What is there not to like? Bricks and paint? Do me a favor and don´t treat me like a brainless creature. I sense a real problem here. What is bothering you, honey?”“I don´t know, Carol, maybe I´m afraid that you will consider me selfish. When I built the house I wasn´t thinking about a family, or anything. I did everything thinking only about myself.”“Arthur, you have to stop worrying about what I could think about you. If you don´t know it yet, I love you. And love doesn´t think.”He relaxes a little, but he still seems worried.“Carol, maybe you will consider me a showoff.”“Do you s

It included after classes meetings, online group chatting, exchanging of math books and articles, among others.At any normal day, they would sit with their best friends for lunch, which is very natural. Then they could catch up about movies or sports, like any other kid.But the weeks before a competition, they sat at the same table for lunch everyday. And they took this opportunity to quiz each other, simulating the ‘National’.Their friends understood this and admired their dedication.

When they were on dates, Arthur and Carol had the best time of their lives. Nothing could prevent their fun, since they were beautiful, healthy and rich.They went dancing, dining, roller-skating, shopping. It was as if they wanted to do together, every activity that they had ever ever ever done before, without the other.It was contagious to people around them. They could light a room just by entering it.And they teased each other, sweetly, of course. Arthur would point to a very strong person and ask her, “Could you defeat him?”“In a blink.” She would answer very confident.One day, at the zoo, he asked if she could beat the bear.“We will only be sure of it if you enter the cage and I need to rescue you, honey.”“Then it´s better if we don´t know, Carol.”And he would grab her waist and spin her around, not minding what people could think. They were crazily in lov

On a Sunday morning, Carol and Mandy would stay in their pajamas and have breakfast together whitout any hurry. They would eat well, because later, they would need their strength to go running in the park, as always.In these opportunities, they talked about everything that had happened during the previous week, or they would make simple plans for the next one.Sometimes they only told jokes and talked about music and movies. It was Sunday, after all.Then, when the doorbell rang, Mandy went to answer it without any idea of who it could be.And what a surprise she had! There, at the front door stood grandpa, grandma, papa and nana.Behind them, baggages and parcels.
