João Felipe
We were already having dinner when my brother arrived and joined us. I thought we would have a tense and animosity dinner between us, but to my surprise, dinner took place in a mild mood, with everyone talking as before. Apparently happy with my "return" home, João Pedro talked a lot, without using his mocking tone, at least not critically, just in jest tone.
Viviane, however, seemed to have been very angry with my presence and did not even go down to the family dinner, something that did not go unnoticed by anyone, because even my father commented on the fact.
Which made me think back to the moment in the garden, when she saw me and couldn't hide all the horror she felt at my unexpected presence. For what reason?
And then she married my brother and the
Viviane"When does your brother leave, to leave us alone? I can't stand him here anymore, surrounding my daughter all the time."João Pedro looked at me mockingly and I pretended not to understand what he meant by that look. I wouldn't get into this argument again that the daughter is also Felipe's because she's not!João Pedro had called me earlier as he was at a business meeting near my workplace and invited me to lunch together." I can't stand you complaining about Felipe's presence anymore," he said, making an expression of boredom."And I can't stand his presence anymore!"" You're so stressed, Vivi " He looked at me with a serious expression this time and spoke delica
João FelipeMy mother said she was worried about me because it wasn't healthy. I just smiled and blurted. I wasn't interested in getting involved with anyone at the time, not even casually and my friendships boiled down to the Alcântara family, however, Ricardo was always traveling and Nicolas was now married. I didn't want to go out with Henrique, because he was the so-called catcher and I wasn't in the mood to be with any woman.Now I was in a restaurant, having lunch with Luana, because we had met by chance when she went to present a business proposal to Mendes, on behalf of the company in which she worked and I attended the meeting, replacing my father, who had accompanied my mother in a routine consultation.We had exchanged our contacts the other time we bumped into each other, but this time she pulled su
Viviane João Pedro had decided to travel to New York to talk to Jack in person about them. I had fully supported him as we all deserved to be with the one we truly loved and I couldn't stop my best friend from being happy. If they decided to stay together, we would solve everything as best we could, because there was only one person who worried me, and that was my daughter. What others would think, I didn't care. We couldn't hold on to each other for the sake of appearances. That was our agreement when we decided to stay together. After the first day that João Felipe arrived and on which I refused to join the rest of the family for dinner, I decided that I could not continue to run away from meals with the family while Felipe was here. I didn't want family problems and while he monopolized the conversations at the table
João FelipeMy brother's trip to the United States triggered in me something I wasn't able to control. The need to be with Viviane, to have her for me, who was bigger than anything and I couldn't help but always be looking for her, looking for opportunities to talk to her.I never swallowed this marriage of hers to João Pedro, and now that he had simply traveled and left her alone, the feeling was even greater that there was something wrong with that relationship.Today, for example, it was Friday night and Viviane had gone out with her friends, not caring that her husband was thousands of miles away, and when he was close, they never left just the two of them. With the exception of that lunch a few days ago, something that even Mom always commented on.Another thing I didn't swallow either, was João Pedro's lame excuse for this trip to NY. The justification that I had been absent for a long time from the branch, which was still true because it had been almost two months since I had b
João FelipeThey immediately changed their playful posture and Nicolas was the first to speak." I believe I already know what you intend to admit, since we always suspect it " Your expression was of regret, given the situation in which I found myself."I've always been in love with Vivi and now I'm paying the price for never having done anything about it."" I was sure of it! " Henrique shouted, making a gesture raising his arm, as if in celebration of something." A very complex situation, I have to warn you " Nicolas took a sip of his drink, before continuing. " But I imagine you have something in mind once you acknowledge your feelings."Before I could answer, I saw at a glance a woman trying to get rid of the onslaught of a guy holding her, apparently quite tightly. I looked around, trying to find some security, and when I looked again at what was going on, I could see the woman in question upon realizing it was Viviane, I immediately got up from the table and ran towards what wa
Viviane"Unfortunately, there are still many men out there who don't know how to take a no. But let's give thanks for not having anything more serious happen " His expression was very serious, and he looked very upset also by what happened."Shall we go in?" I called once more.He was still holding onto my arm and I pretended not to notice that he was also stroking him as he seemed to do so without even realizing it. As I looked towards the place, implying that I wish he would stop, he quickly let go of me, a look of apology to me." Vivi, we need to talk" he spoke in a restrained tone. " I say talk even, solve our pending issues. We live in the same house, I don't think it's cool the way we're living together.""I don't see any problem," I said stubbornly."We have to think about Sarah, it's not good for her in this tense atmosphere between us."Hearing this, I felt trembling inside. He was worried about Sarah! I had already been following how attentive and kind he was to my daughter
João FelipeFortunately, today was Saturday and I didn't have to be at work, nor did I have any appointments scheduled. In the state my face was in, I didn't look the best for meeting someone, let alone for work.I was now standing in front of my bathroom mirror, wondering how my mother would tell me that I had gotten into a fight, and in which I had gotten worse. It was pretty embarrassing.I was thinking of going back to bed and postponing this moment as long as possible, when I walk out of the bathroom and find my mom coming into my room, without even hitting it. I already knew about what had happened, for despite the horror in her expression, she showed no surprise at seeing me with my face swollen and with a bandage above one eye, which, by the way, was closed."Oh my son, what a pity!" he spoke, approaching me and looking at the wounds closely." I thought you were going to make the biggest fuss when you saw me like that " I commented with a smile in my voice.Mrs. Marta is some
João FelipeWe both burst out laughing until I started moaning from the pain in my rib area."We shouldn't be making fun of such a serious matter," she said in an attempt to get serious and we smiled at each other in a complicit way."We shouldn't."After that moment of complicity between us, she excused herself and left my room quickly.I was feeling alone, because although we had not completely lived our love, the moments in which I was with Viviane, throughout life and especially when we met in the apartment that I bought specifically for our clandestine meetings, I felt completely fulfilled. It seemed like life made perfect sense in those moments. But I was an idiot and didn't know how to give it my due value and now I nee
