My Sister's Boyfriend

"We have to go!" I announced, embarrassed, pulling Edith.

- Stop being silly, Malu. Come here. Pablo pulled me into a hug, laughing at my awkward way of hugging him. He had forgotten how much he loved Pablo. I parted ways with him and couldn't help but smile. He still had the same curls, only his hair was now short and his face rounded. He was also taller, but still shorter than Igor, only a few centimeters. But his shoulders were broader, and he looked much bigger. To my surprise, he gave me a slight, almost imperceptible smack. - How do you disappear like this without giving news, child?

-Child? Oh yes! - she laughs softly, being infected by that familiar and friendly smile. I took a deep breath, tired.- I had some business to attend to.

-Arran... What did it cost to call? - cost everything. I wanted to say it, but I kept quiet. Trying not to look at the tall being next to him. That he didn't utter a word. They both analyzed me.

- You weren't like that, Malu. Seriously! You've got some good legs, see? Have you been working out?- Igor elbowed him in the stomach, very serious, and Pablo cursed. "Fuck! I was just complimenting you...

- Spare your compliments. He said looking directly at Pablo, who shrugged his shoulders, looking at Igor mockingly. His raspy voice made me shudder and cringe.

- Thank you for the compliment. I said to Pablo, swallowing hard, embarrassed and not knowing what to do. Edith looked at me speculatively, and I rolled my eyes.

"I have to go.

-No! His tone of voice made me cringe.

"I have to... Um, see the hotel right, that kind of stuff. I avoided looking at him. "I haven't settled in very well yet.

"I thought you had come to meet us. Pablo said, amused, appreciating my embarrassment.

"We already know each other.

- Then we have to catch up, friend! "Pablo was having a lot of fun with the situation. Some things didn't really change... -Pablo! I widened my eyes, begging for help and he laughed.

"Alright, we'll see you tomorrow." I pulled Edith by the hand and we walked hurriedly. - See you tomorrow, Maluzinha!

"What was that, Malu?" she said laughing.

"That was the reason I left this town.

"I would only leave the city if I was blessed. Because, darling, that's a sin.

- Stop being squeamish, woman! She laughed at my bad mood, accompanying me. We stopped at the taxi stand and I waited nervously. I still couldn't believe my bad luck. I just couldn't believe it! Pov. Eeyore.

I saw them walking away and the other girl even looked back a couple of times as Malu dragged her. I felt a discomfort in my heart and my muscles were shaking. Pablo laughed, almost laughing, next to me.

- Holy shit, am I really Malu's legs? And damn, you didn't kill me. Haha.

"I haven't killed yet. I punched him the shoulder as I walked behind the girls. They were about to get into a cab when I ran over, preventing them from opening the door. Malu looked at me in horror and her friend smiled, opening the door and closing it.

"Excuse me. - she said, nervously.

"I missed you. I said, silly.

"I want to pass.

"I thought I'd never see you again."

- Get out of the way, Igor! - she said angrily, already losing her temper. I smiled broadly at his irritated beak. How I had missed that!

- Malu, if you want, I'll wait for you at the hotel and... The girl started and was soon cut off.

"Not at all! Malu gave me a not at all discreet push and opened the door, getting into the taxi. I put my head inside the cab through the window.

"Oh come on, yes. You don't have to run away.

"I'd forgotten how unbearable you are.

Forgot? Certainty?

- I'm absolutely sure! She said, red with anger. Adorable!

"I, on the other hand, have never forgotten what a terrible liar you are. I smiled, feeling a strange joy fill me when I saw her blushing there. Beak and all that. She had returned, I would see her again. She would go now, but she would come back. Would always come back. I whispered happily. "See you tomorrow, girls.

I lifted my head out of the window and watched as the taxi quickly drove away. Man, she was back! Pablo looked at me with his arms crossed, rolling his eyes. I walked past him.

"She's back!"

"Them and her legs. His comment made my smile fade. I growled at him, annoyed. Annoyed at remembering her covetous tone when doing her earlier, even though he didn't know it was Malu and all that. I was annoyed by his playful look and the admiration in his eyes. "And what legs!"

"I'm going to break your teeth, Pablo. I threatened, walking towards him. "I'm serious.
