irradiating her rich smile.
- Silly! I can take pretty
good care of myself. Do not give me excuses to meddle into my life. - Amanda
snapped again.
- If you in fact did it,
you would have realized by now what this need meant when Antônio is not around.
- Amanda heard this information looking at her friend startled.
- Anyone who had a
mainstay like Antônio would feel heartbroken when she needed him and could not
have him, as is my case these days. - Amanda justified herself.
- All right. Whatever. If
you say so… I didn‘t mean anything by it. - Carol turned with a disguised smile
on the corner of her mouth and went about her duties.
The morning was coming to
an end and Amanda had no news from Antônio, getting even more anxious. In order
to help, her assistant had said that he’d probably arrive late in the afternoon
or would be putting his affairs in order since he had been away for days. To
calm her nerves she tried to put this idea in her head and it worked out. But
still she felt great need to share the events with her friend and hear his
advice.
After work, Amanda decided
to put her body and mind to work, so there would not be time to wonder what had
happened to Antônio. So she decided to organize closets, threw away old
magazines on health and beauty. Then she went to her son's bedroom and there
the organization took the rest of the afternoon making her exhausted. After all
was in place, Amanda took a long shower to soothe her body. In her room she
hydrated and wore comfortable clothes and decided to watch some TV in the
living room. Amanda was looking for something interesting when the doorbell
rang. Surprised and hoping it was someone she had yearned for all day, she went
to open the door.
For you! - said Antônio
handing her over a small bouquet of flowers when she opened the door.
Thank you! They’re
beautiful - she thanked him taking the present. - I thought you would not come.
- Amanda complained no matter what he would think.
- Does that mean you
really missed me!? - he said smiling.
- Do you have any doubts? -
She replied with a mocking air.
- Maybe I need some more
convincing, but for now it is ok. - He also led that situation as a distraction
so they would not be embarrassed. - I booked a place at that restaurant we went
to with Carol and her boyfriend. Want to go? - Antônio asked cheerfully.
- Give me a minute to get
dressed! - She asked pointing at the armchair for him to sit in. Amanda went to
her room and got ready quickly. Meanwhile she remembered how her heart beat
fast when she saw Antônio at her door. That connection between them was
strange. They looked like soul mates, but unfortunately or not they were not
about to share a more tender and brotherly love. However, it was extremely good
to feel that misgoverned beating such as one feels when there is passion. Yes
there was a feeling among them, but it was not of the selfish and worldly kind
and feeling and it made a big difference for her.
Ready to leave Amanda
joined him who waited for her in the living room reading one of her fashion
magazines.
- You really like the
subject – remarked Antônio sitting up, but not before noticing the beautiful
woman in front of him.
- I believe that you have
found it in me more than myself. - She remarked smiling.
- Sometimes we need people
in our lives to show us the way. Glad to have helped. - Amanda heard Antônio’s
tender way of speaking. When in your life did you meet a man like that? Never. Maybe
she would not even have that chance again. She needed to take good care of that
friendship and be happy for as long as it was possible.
When they reached the
restaurant both had a huge surprise when faced with Breno accompanied by a
beautiful woman. Amanda tried to disguise her embarrassment not to give the
impression that Antônio was jealous. A lot of times people misunderstand such a
situation and she did not want to make him feel bad.
- If you prefer we can go
somewhere else. -
