My Sister's Boyfriend
82

- Let's sing the little song of joy for Malu's return! I landed another punch on Pablo, who laughed behind me. "I'm happy too, you know... With Malu around, everything gets more hectic. "Don't even tell me. "Everything was hectic, jumping. Mostly my heart.

I arrived at Ceci's house for dinner excited. Eduardo was playing video games with Alexander, who was laughing. Mrs. Betty walked past us, giving us kisses on the cheek. At the beginning of Ceci's pregnancy and upon learning of all the confusion, she fought with me and cursed me to the core. But now, seeing that I was striving to be a good father, he treated me as if I were another one of his sons, often with more pampering than he treated his girls. I was lucky she was open-minded and had such a big heart.

"You need to shave, Igor. - she scolded.

"Two days only. To scratch it. She laughed at me, and shook her head disapprovingly.

- Make yourself at home and dinner will be a little late, right?!

She came out excitedly, in a way I've never seen before, into the kitchen. I noticed that Ceci was restless next to Alexander, so I figured she already knew that Malu was here. Ceci acquired an almost fear that Malu would hate her, since they had lost contact for the past 5 years. Which was pretty much Eduardo's whole life. But to me, it often seemed that she was more afraid that we would think of her as bad and Malu too, than worried about her sister's true feelings for her. Ceci had always been vain, though now she had evolved, the image she had of herself was still important to her.

- What's up, Alexander?

"Hi," he said vaguely, focused on the fight.

- Get it right away, Eduardo. Let's go! Let's go! I encouraged, making Eduardo sit on my lap. Soon, he had beaten Alexandre and I tickled Edu, who laughed at our impromptu celebration.

- You're happy, Dad.

-Too!

"Why?" Is it because of my aunt?- I hesitated, confused. -How?

"Grandma called my other aunt just now. The one who sent me that cool electric train for Christmas. She fought with her and told her to come to dinner as punishment. I feel sorry for my aunt, right? "Is she really going to come?"

"Arraan. I'm going to see her, that's why my mom made me shower so early. A bummer, isn't it Dad?

"Did you already know she's here?" Alexander asked me, surprised.

"Long story.

- Long legs. Pablo said, teasing me again. I grabbed a cushion and slammed it hard, causing him to stumble. - Okay, I've stopped.

Alexander laughed, already understanding what he meant. Alexander and I were friends now, you could say. He had stayed with Ceci despite everything and gave her strength when the baby was born. She had clung to him, and I could not doubt that he loved Cecilia in spite of everything. At that same time, taking the focus off my thoughts, the doorbell rang and I got up quickly along with Eduardo. He was as nervous as I was. I had already seen pictures of the aunt who sent the 'coolest gifts' and even liked her, more than Karol who at the age of 11, entering pre-adolescence, was in a bad mood and, as Eduardo said, very boring. Mrs. Betty ran to open the door, and smiled hugging her daughter, who by the way, was divine in a white blouse and tight shorts, because of the super hot night. Haughty and happy, until you see me...

Pov. Malu

"What was that in the Planetarium?" Edith practically screamed excitedly as she threw her purse on the floor of the hotel room with two single beds in which we were staying.

-Nothing. I tried to dodge the questions. She disturbed me the whole way. And I knew she was going to do that for quite a while.

- Fool me that I like it! Come on, Malu. Unfolds.

-OK. OK! I sighed, sitting on the floor and she on the bed. Looking like two teenage girls.

-Very good! "I had never had good contact with people of the same sex than I had. She had never had a best friend, at most colleagues. Edith was different because, like me, she struggled with romantic relationships. Hers, very short, always left her hungover and crying, as if at each end she died and the next day was reborn after a beautiful hangover. He was a confused creature, very firm, but in matters of the heart he was somewhat unbalanced. It reminded me too much of what I am like. I started to tell the whole story calmly and without trying to pay too much attention to the feelings, but it was impossible. She had asked questions throughout the explanation.

"And that's how our story came to an end. Satisfied? I finished my narrative to an Edith who was standing in front of the fan. She became agitated as I counted, letting out screams and exclamations, but now she was very serious.

-End? Okay, okay, fool yourself!" I grimaced and she laughed softly, covering her mouth. When I stopped staring at her murderously, she muttered in concentration, causing me to roll my eyes. - Your story is very novelistic. -Thanks... I think.
