My Sister's Boyfriend
80

- Then keep Eduardo away from Pablo.

"And can you do that?" Be realistic woman, we can't do it with Eduardo and Pablo together. And I don't think they're even separated! So, relax... It was just a snack. She continued with a frown, I nudged her lightly, who slapped me. I winked at her, and she rolled her eyes. -Relax... You're going to get gray hair before it's time, I'm warning you.

- Cala a bottle, Igor.

"Bye, Cecilia," he laughed at his irritation.

"Today there was a meeting with your son. I stopped in the middle of the road, staring at her. So there was the cause of her bad mood.

"Um, and how did it go?"

- He's late and doesn't pay attention in class. You'd better talk to him, because he doesn't listen to me.

"You talk like he's 15, not 5.

"You seem to have 4 instead of 24 at times, Igor. So...

- Okay, I see. You're grumpy. Shout out to Alexandre.

-Sure. I started walking back to the car and turned around before she closed the door.

"You've been hearing from the..." I didn't need to add. Ceci grimaced slightly. He sighed lightly:

"She doesn't talk to me, you know. Only with mom sometimes. I don't know anything. She sends Karol and Dudu's Christmas and birthday presents, but she doesn't come to visit. Get used to it. "Thanks, I guess.

- I'm sorry, Igor. - she was always sympathetic towards my unfinished business with Malu. I sighed, nodding.

-Bye! "I got in the car and Pablo already accelerated. -Arrears?

"Gabriel is going to eat our leather."

"Yours, not mine. Technically, I'm on a break.

"Shut up, Igor. I laughed at Pablo's worried face and enjoyed the trip with the windows open, the wind hitting my face relieving the heat. "I'm telling you, you just sit there daydreaming. He was supposed to stay with a woman for something longer than two weeks.

"And you should stop playing matchmaker." That shit! Why don't you commit then?

"That's another five hundred. I was born for life, for women. What about you? He has a son, he needs a good stepmother for him. Someone to scold you about doing laundry, all that shit. Look at Ceci, you're getting married. Eduardo likes his skinny stepfather. Happy family. All that's missing is you. If he sees that his father doesn't even make an effort to get a woman, why would he want to surf with you?

"Ridiculous examples. I don't understand your interest in that.

"It's because I'm your friend, you know?" I have to pretend that I care about your happiness.

"Shut your fucking mouth and drive, Pablo. I scolded, almost annoyed.

- Stressed. He laughed, fixing his hair in the mirror. - Is my blouse too messy?

"No, not much.

- That's good, because there's a terrible brand of ice cream in yours a la Eduardo. I looked at the collar of my shirt. I could hear Eduardo's laughter at home when he saw that he soiled his blouse from work.

-Shit! He laughed the whole way as I searched for some cloth or napkin in my bathtub, also known as a car, full of Eduardo's toys. He parked the car and we hurried walking. I threw the napkin I found in a trash can and we entered the Planetarium, being graced by the air conditioning.

"Who are those over there with Mr. Gasques?" Pablo said, stopping me. We both look at women from the back to us. One was a redhead, with short hair and very white. She was taller than the second and wore long jeans. The other was brown, with dark hair waving down her back, and even though she was short, she had long legs. She wore a dress that, my God, should be forbidden.

"From the back, everything is fine. Too good! This place is very frequented, isn't it?- I could see fangs forming in his teeth and laughed. He didn't miss one. "That brunette is all good, don't you agree?"

I looked at the brunette again. Who shifted the weight of his shapely legs. The very singular curve of the thick thighs. I couldn't breathe for a few seconds:

-Wait. I know those legs...

Gabriel immediately noticed us and smiled. And the girls turned. One of them widening her eyes. Not much had changed. She had lost the childlike features of her face and was now absolutely a woman. But he still had the same wide eyes and a small, full mouth. I felt the blood running down my face as she blushed. Which made something start boiling inside me.

"Bitch. Pablo cursed under his breath, his voice surprised. I felt my feet move me without me even noticing. Pablo's hand grabbed my arm, stopping me. But I was still in a trance.

"Well, ladies, these are Igor Borges and Pablo Lopes. And these are Malu Tavares and Edith Domingos, his new co-workers. - we continued staring at each other, barely listening to what they were saying.

"We are old friends of Miss Tavares. Pablo said, more centered than I was. I couldn't stop staring at her, I could barely contain myself and just not hug her and never let go. I missed him so much that he punished me incessantly. She averted her eyes and I tried to find them again. Still surprised and surprisingly happy.

Pov. Malu

My head spun and I felt my thoughts slip through my fingers. Igor has changed, in fact, for the better. His hair was short, and he had grown a few inches, surpassing his former six-foot-10. His eyes were still the same, and his face had lost its childlike features. The jaw was square and protruding, what Edith affectionately called a pornographic jawline. The muscles because of the sport were still there, calling me. Standing out in the V-neck shirt, prohibitive. But something about the way he looked at me was different. Not fearful as of old, but devouring. I leaned on Edith, expecting support, but she just looked at me confused

"Er... I'll leave you alone so you can get to know each other better. Gasques said, already walking away.

-No! I said, perhaps too loudly, with a certain tone of hysteria, since everyone looked at me surprised. We couldn't be alone! I screamed inside myself, confused, agitated, and absolutely nervous. I wasn't psychologically prepared for it yet. "We have to go." I have other matters to attend to now, we will have other opportunities. Is... Thank you, Mr. Gasques. It was a pleasure, and...

"Just a few minutes, miss. Don't be in such a hurry. They will be your supervisors here, it's good that they have a good relationship. Now, excuse me. Mr. Gasques walked away, smiling confused. Everyone stared at me, without exception.
