Waiting for her

João FelipeI looked at her intently, trying to read between the lines of her words, to grasp what she wasn't telling me, but I couldn't conclude anything from her facial expression. She was indifferent and didn't seem like the passionate girl that was always with me in our moments together. And I had no idea what the reason for such a sudden change was." Then that's it. Life goes on, right?”I said already getting up to leave, leaving the coffee that the waitress brought, completely untouched on the table. I grabbed my wallet and intended to leave some notes to pay for our consumption, but Viviane stopped me with a gesture." It is not necessary.”" I make a point.”

The DNA result

VIVIANE“The DNA result came out today.”I looked at João Pedro, waiting for the continuation of his information.We were in his room, as he had called me to meet him there. He was showing our favorite series and when I arrived at his bedroom door, he just indicated the bed, so I lay down next to him.So I just sat there, looking at the TV, but not seeing what was on.I was thoughtful. I had decided that the time had come to tell, at least João Pedro, about my situation.I had been very sick in the morning during a college class and I even had to leave the classroom and run to the bathroom to get all my breakfast out.Soon, João Pedro would realize that I wasn't doing well and I didn't want to keep lying and making up stories. I was just waiting for Jack's son's DNA issue to be resolved and it seems that now that would be less of an obstacle to my disclosure.When he didn't say anything else, looking lost in thought, I questioned him." And then?”" It's Jack's son.”" And he already

Am I wrong?

João FelipeI left the room feeling like my blood was on fire. I was angry with how I found my brother and Vivi. It felt like an extremely intimate moment as if they were a couple in a passionate moment.Not that it looked like they'd just done anything sexual.But the hug they were in when I entered João Pedro's room was a hug full of meanings. There seemed to be a lot of love involved at that moment between the two.I came to think that what I was feeling at that moment sounded a lot like jealousy.That urge I felt to rip Vivi out of my brother's arms was such a strong need that I couldn't control myself.I took the car from the garage and headed to my business appointment, my blood still boiling, but I needed to take advantage of the drive to the restaurant to calm down. I couldn't let myself be affected by someone who decided to break off their relationship with me.I arrived at the hotel calmer and managed to close an advantageous deal with a couple of my father's partners. I was

A good deed

VivianeAfter João Felipe left the room, JP gave me a strange look and I didn't know what was going on in his head." When do you intend to tell me about your secret meetings with my brother?”I looked at him in astonishment, completely speechless at the way he pinned me against the wall." I saw you entering that hotel together, more than a month ago. I was there too, with Jack.”" And this whole time you never asked me anything?”" I was keeping a part of my life a secret, I had no right to confront you. I was waiting for you to tell me spontaneously, but…”" I was waiting for the right moment to talk to you. But this situation with Jack and the kid…”" I understand. I'm not here to judge you. I just support you as I know you weren't in that clinic that day just by chance. And I also understand that there are a lot of things going on around us. But you can't keep putting other people's problems ahead of yours. For one hour you will have to face them.”"I know," I said sadly, tears a

Effects of Pregnancy

João FelipeAfter the departure of our parents, my brother and I continued at the charity event for some cause, which I had not paid attention to since I went only to get foreign investors to our branch in New York.I was succeeding with my pretensions when I got the call from my father, who made us apprehensive and we immediately went to the hospital to which our mother had been taken.Now we were in the mansion and Mom was resting in her room. She had had some tests and they indicated strong anemia, but she would undergo a more complete consultation and do a full check-up.I was very tired, the week had been strenuous because I was dedicating myself fully to work, which had not worked very well as a way to forget a certain girl.Although Viviane did not leave my thoughts, I had concluded that our separation was better. There were many obstacles and I could never take on a serious relationship with her."I'm quite worried about Mom, Felipe. She never had any kind of malaise and sudde

Hurt, very hurt

VivianeJoão Pedro had called me, asking me to go to his room, and despite the fear of meeting Felipe, I had to learn to live with this situation, even more so now that the time was approaching to have to face everyone.I got to João Pedro's room and he wasn't there, which made me quite upset. I risked myself in vain!I texted him and he replied asking me to wait for him as he had gone to the kitchen to get a snack for us.I threw myself on his bed and stared at my social media. What was not my surprise when I saw a mark of João Pedro in a photo where beside him was also Felipe hugging a girl, very beautiful by the way.Felipe and the girl seemed very intimate and that was a blow to me. Without even realizing it, a tear fell on top of my phone, and at the same time, I wiped it awkwardly.I heard voices in the hallway and before João Pedro entered the room, I ran to the bathroom, to wash my face. I didn't want to have to explain to him why the tears were.So I decided to be quiet when

Strange Attitude

João Felipe I realized that Lúcia spoke more to herself and that information bothered me a lot. I decided it was time to face João Pedro and whatever was leaving him in that state so different from his usual. I hurried out of the kitchen as I was going to confront my brother and it would be now. There was no more reason to postpone. "Aren't you going to eat, Felipe? " I still heard Lúcia ask when I was leaving the kitchen. She must have been even more confused, I figured. I met João Pedro already in the corridor that led to our rooms and when he was arriving in front of his door, I questioned him. "What's your problem? " He stopped his hand in the lock of the door. His face was a mask of coldness and it didn't resemble the ever-loving brother I had lived with since I was a child. " Is there a problem?" he replied with another question, his eyebrow arched and his tone was icy. "I don't know. Tell me you. " He opened the door and went into the room. When I realized he was goin

Hurt by Him

VivianeI looked at him in surprise and was utterly speechless. What João Pedro was proposing was something very serious. It would be lying to everyone involved and I couldn't handle it." It's not solved at all!" I said as soon as I could make some sound. "You can only be joking... ""I would never play with something so serious, Vivi. Think carefully and you will conclude that this is the best solution for everyone. Your parents will accept me very well as their son-in-law and my parents are already waiting for something like this from us... ""I'm so confused by all this! I don't know what to think... ""Do just that... Think! But think carefully and weigh all the pros and cons and you will see that we will not be doing any harm in taking c
