Forty minutes later, Pablo parked in front of my old building. The street was all deserted and very dark, a real danger. But when I looked at the windows of the neighbors' apartments I saw Miss Lolla leaning out of the window trying to see who was in the car, the famous fifi owner of the building, the most annoying gossip I've ever met, I bet tomorrow I'll be in the neighbors' mouths and the entire building... I took off my seat belt and smiled slightly at Pablo.
 
Katherine - Thank you...you really didn't have to bring me here. she said awkwardly.
 
Pablo - It's okay Kat, I would never let a woman walk alone at a time like this. smiled nice.
 
Katherine - Thanks again. thank you for opening the door.
 
But before leaving, Pablo's hand touched my wrist, forcing me to look at him.
 
Pablo - I apologize for my mother. he shook his head - Sometimes she oversteps the limits and... sighed - Sorry.
 
Katherine - Alright! There is nothing you have to forgive. His mother is like that, so… I shrugged and he laughed.
 
Pablo - You're right... he looked at my building and grimaced - The gossip Lolla is just watching... pointed in her direction.
 
Katherine - Don't even talk to me I rolled my eyes - For her not to talk even more, I'd better go. Good evening! smile before leaving.
 
Pablo - Good night!
 
I entered the building with Lolla's eyes on me, but I didn't even bother to look at her. I went upstairs and unlocked the apartment door, as soon as I entered, Maite was leafing through a magazine on the sofa and Zoraida was watching a football game on TV with a bottle of beer in her hands. As soon as she heard the latch click Maite looked up at me and returned her attention to the magazine in hand.
 
Maite - It took a while...- he muttered without taking his eyes off the magazine - I was worried.
 
I threw my bag on the couch and sat beside her, but before that, when I passed in front of the TV, Zoraida pushed me onto Maite's lap and stood, glued to the TV.
 
Maite - Crazy! he huffed, straightening up.
 
Zoraida - Shut up! she yelled without looking at her.
 
Katherine - TPM? I tried it while putting my hair in a bun.
 
Maite - Yes... sighed - She's unbearable.
 
Katherine - I imagine... laughs.
 
Maite - Why did it take so long? he said, turning his attention to the magazine.
 
Katherine - I went to Dona Clarice's to pick up the new orders and received great news, I smile excitedly.
 
Maite - What? looked at me.
 
Katherine - My pies are being a success and I am now receiving more or less, four minimum wages and I will be the newest partner of Dona Clarice. Maite opened her mouth in astonishment - How about that?
 
Maite - Got rich. laughed - I'm glad, you deserve it and your pies, cakes or anything else are wonderful Kat, I didn't expect less than that... she shook her head smiling.
 
Zoraida - GO FUCK, GET THE BALL IN THAT STRUCTURE YOUR SCROLL shouted talking to the TV and taking a sip of beer.
 
Katherine - How was work today Maite? I haven't seen you all day. I asked, still looking at Zoraida.
 
Maite - Normal, as usual. I arrived late and they will deduct it from my salary. she sighed.
 
Katherine - My fault, right? I forced you to watch the series. I grimaced.
 
Maite - Oh no Kat... laughed - I would watch the series the same way. It's not every day that we manage to steal the neighbor's wifi.
 
Zoraida - GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL shouted along with the guy who narrated the football game.
 
Maite shook her head, turning her attention to the magazine. I looked at the kitchen counter and saw covered pots on the stove.
 
Katherine - What's for dinner?
 
Maite - Zora made pepperoni noodles. It's very tasty.
 
Katherine - What's up Mai?
 
She turned the magazine showing me a very beautiful model who walked on a catwalk only in lingerie.
 
Maite - This model is Gisele Bündchen, one of the richest and most fluent women in the whole world - sighed - She is so beautiful, thin and rich, the ideal woman for any man. her eyes went vacant as she looked at a fixed point on the white wall-I can't understand, how in life some have everything and some have nothing... she whispered.
 
Katherine - She may have money and fame, a beautiful body and a brain. But she will never have a heart as good as her Mai. I touched her shoulder- I very much doubt that there is a person with the size of your generosity and gratitude for your love and affection to give. I touched her chin forcing her to look at me
- You are unique Mai, very special, you are beautiful, very beautiful, inside and out.
 
Maite - I'm not like her Kat... she shook her head - So beautiful and thin.
 
Katherine - Yes it is! Very pretty and slim and full of curves. I took the magazine and showed Gisele's belly.
- Where are the curves? Usually men like women who have curves. I touched your shoulder
- Don't think you're anything new, I shook my head - I know we had a very difficult life, but we found each other, didn't we? I touched your hands.
 
She looked at me excitedly. Maite had a certain low self-esteem issue.
 
Zoraida - Don't be like that Mai. we looked at Zoraida who was next to us and the TV that was playing the game for minutes was off - You are beautiful and you found me, that's why you have everything in life. she twisted her chin.
 
Katherine - Feel less Zora laughs.
 
Zoraida - I don't think I am, I'm my darling. Now Miss Katherine Blumem tell me why the hell has such a time come? she crossed her arms seriously-Did you know that this is Rio de Janeiro? And that this neighborhood is dangerous? You can't get here at a time like this and alone snorted - What if God forbid something happens? huh? And it's not even the first time you've done this she rolled her eyes-I'm worried about you, so if you don't care about your life, I will and please don't.
 
Maite - Kat is like that, she loves to walk alone and giving a fool to the thief, she shook her head looking at me seriously.
 
Katherine - Sorry guys! But I know how to defend myself, okay? I got up from the soft sofa stretching all the way.
 
Zoraida - We know you know, but you also don't have to do as you do. And you didn't tell me why you arrived late, were you at some motel having sex? raised a malicious eyebrow
 
Katherine - What? I asked amazed - Of course not Zora... I rolled my eyes
 
Zoraida - Sorry, but I'm on PMS and with a crazy desire to have sex, she rolled her eyes maliciously.
 
Maite - Also, right? How long you do not give this pepeca? It must be full of cobwebs.
 
Zoraida - Ha ha ha ha gave her tongue - Look who's talking, right? she teased.
 
Katherine - I'm going to shower. I warned disappearing down the small hallway.
 
Zoraida - Don't you want me and Maite to go with you too? So we can do a hot lesbian hustle in the shower? - he shouted loudly.
 
Katherine - ZORAIDA! I yelled scolding her - The neighbors will listen crazy.
 
Zoraida - THEY CAN PARTICIPATE TOO shouted back.
 
Maite laughed and I didn't hear it, but nothing when I closed the bathroom door. I undressed and turned on the shower feeling my body relax after the water fell into my lap.
