My Sister's Boyfriend
35

"I'd rather go home." "I was feeling anxious and pressured by this situation.

- Oh come on, Malu! Please...

"Without forcing things, Ceci..." I reminded her.

"But it's a vote. Everyone wants to go.

- I want to go, Malu. But I won't if you're not. Alexander said, making a desolate face and playing very, very dirty.

"I really hate you guys. I snorted, annoyed. "You know that, don't you?"

-Perfect! "Alexandre asked for the bill and we ended up splitting it. He pulled me by the hand as we walked out into the street. There were quite a few people on the streets even. The weather was muggy, the sky was already dark, and the breeze was refreshing. A very romantic atmosphere. Not that I was satisfied with that. I still had a hard time looking at Ceci and he... So... Next. But Alexander was right, I had to get used to it. I didn't have much of a choice. Ceci was clinging to Igor and Alexandre's arm holding my hand. A quirk of his. I looked at Ceci's feet, and why she looked so much taller. They were jumps. A beautiful, giant platform. I wondered how his feet must hurt. "Doesn't it hurt?" I asked, breaking the silence.

-What?

- Those heels! Every time I see you you're with one bigger than the other. Sincerely... You should stop wearing so many high heels.

"I can do anything in high heels. She smiled, convinced.

"You can't, you can't. You sure as hell can't.

- Yes, I can.

"Oh yes? I doubt you'll do it in high heels. "I let go of Alexander. And I walked to the middle of the street. So... I made a little star. I straightened up, feeling my hair messed up, and feeling free too. I smiled defiantly at Ceci. -Do!

"That's an appeal. - laughs along with Alexandre and Igor. The latter didn't look at me, but stared at me. I noticed that my ponytail had come loose. I ran my hands through my wavy hair. I looked up, he was still staring at me. Ceci had let go of his arm and walked out in front with Alexander. I looked at the floor, looking for my fastener. They were right at his feet. He just bent down and picked them up. Approaching me and rocking him in front of my face.

"Is it yours?" I swallowed hard and took a deep breath. The masculine perfume taking me. Hands shaking and trying to keep my composure I grabbed the fastener.

-Thanks. "I cursed my unstable. Out of my normal tongue-in-cheek tone.

"Hey, you guys! I turned to where Ceci's voice was coming from. She was close to Alexander and was smiling. - Hurry up!

I didn't look at Igor before I started walking again, I just quickened my pace, wanting to catch up with them. I stopped on the other side of Alexander, who was looking at me worriedly. -Are you okay?

-Yes. "Not exactly, but it wouldn't make much difference to say that to Alexander now.

-Got! Ceci announced. We stopped in front of a big red gate, you could hear the very loud sound inside. Oh, my nightmare. Ceci rushed over, now pulling Igor, to buy the tickets. Alexander stopped next to me. I looked in the opposite direction.

"Malu... What was it?

"Why did you convince me to come here?" "Why did you act like a traitor?" That's what I should have asked.

"You need to dance. It's been ages since you've danced.

-Ffa.

"Has he ever seen you dance?" "Technically, I liked to dance, but I was embarrassed. -No.

"Then show him what he's lost."

"I don't want that, Alexander. I pouted. "I want to forget.

"Then go back to doing the things you used to do. Dunno... Play on, buddy. He said, striking a pose and making me laugh slightly. Then he grabbed my face, making me look. "No kidding now... Seedling. Have fun. Don't dwell on him too much or... Her. Nor the two together. It's hard, but it tries.

"I'm trying.

"Try harder. Um. What about? - she laughs softly, a little dejected, from her excited face, running her hand through her hair. Rolling her eyes.

- Oh, Alê, only you...

"Ready?" Ceci appeared. Ridiculously animated. I sighed, defeated. She laughed, pulling me by the hand. We entered the reasonably crowded nightclub. The music made my body shudder and I squinted at the lights. She let go of me, running to the track. Alexander right behind her. And the two of them started dancing. Totally excited and at ease. I stopped, crossing my arms. Shocked. Some people started looking at those two creatures dancing on the floor. "Do you know those people?" Igor's voice hovered above me.

"I've never seen it in my life. I shook my head and heard his laughter. Leaving him, I mingled among the people. Ending up in a small bar. "A soft drink, please.
