Rafael’s POVAfter the fun with the teenage romance in the living room, Rubens accompanied Giovanna to her bedroom and I sat down in the living room while Hannah and Rubina went to make lunch. When they finished, they came to sit with me for a moment."Psycho cat, don't you think it's time to start easing up on Giovanna's punishment?" Hannah suggested and I laughed."I think she'll hate it if I ease up on this punishment, my crazy girl," I replied, knowing that my daughter was really enjoying having the cutie around."She really will," Rubina agreed. "I would hate it. But she's much better, Rafa, I'd venture to say she's already back to normal.""That's what it seems like, girls, but I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about what might be after her," I replied and they looked at me curiously. "This internet profile, we don't know anything and... I don't know... I feel like I need to keep an eye on her, prevent whoever it is from getting close, from convincing her again. But I can't
Anderson’s POVThat intertwining of fingers that kept us connected only let go when I opened the apartment door and we entered. Rafael was sitting on the sofa reviewing some papers and immediately stood up to hug his daughter."How was school today, sweetheart?" he asked, looking at Giovanna who had a completely self-satisfied little smile."Dad, my new motto is: head held high, smile on my face, merchant's ears, and kisses for the haters! I did really well!" She seemed full of energy and happy."Oh? Well, I like hearing that. Congratulations!" Rafael looked at me, narrowed his eyes, and approached me."Sweetie, pink suits you, but I think you should wipe that kiss mark off your face before the little tiger sees it." Rafael came closer and examined my face.He was joking with me, because he knew very well whose lipstick that was that I had forgotten to wipe off, and I felt a bit embarrassed. It was careless on my part, not that I was going to hide what had happened from him, I wasn't,
Anderson’s POVThere was no denying that I had been dying of jealousy over my little tiger. That boy was an idiot, but he was her age, no one would question it if they dated, and he was the type that girls found cute. But my little tiger, as always, had the answer; she went right up to him and put him in his place, which was far away from her. And she even said she had a boyfriend, that little minx was impossible!But what I really wanted was to have kissed her, right there in the middle of that room, so everyone would know that the boyfriend was me, or at least I hoped it was. Only I couldn't do that, because I wasn't her boyfriend yet, even though I felt like I was hers, but also because I needed to protect her from the cruelty of those teenagers who seemed to spend too much time thinking of ways to mess with their classmates.And while I drove to her house, all I could think about was stopping the car and kissing her, because I had no peace anymore, I only thought about kissing her,
Giovanna’s POVI had spent quality time with Uncle Rubens while the rest of the family went to the school meeting. I was worried about what would happen, but he calmed me down saying that my parents wouldn't leave me at a school they didn't trust, so I figured I should trust them.And when Anderson arrived from the school meeting with my mom and my aunt and they told me everything that had happened, I was quite happy to learn that the math teacher would be replaced, but I would still have to deal with my classmates and I wasn't looking forward to that. But Anderson talked to me and calmed me down, made me understand that I would always have to deal with petty people and that not everyone would like me and that was okay. And it really was okay, after all he liked me and that was what mattered to me."Little tiger, do you remember what we talked about?" Anderson held my hand before we got out of the car."Head held high, smile on my face and merchant's ears!" I repeated what he had taugh
Hannah’s POVRafael was staring at me as if I had said something surprising and unbelievable. He was completely in shock, and I started laughing because he had completely forgotten what we were talking about the moment I mentioned children."Psycho cat, are you okay?" I asked, and he blinked slowly."No, I don't think so. I think I heard wrong," he replied."The part where I said a photo of us half-naked in a sexy pose would look beautiful in our bedroom?" I joked, and he laughed and kissed my belly before coming face to face with me."I agreed with that part." He looked into my eyes, searching for something, probably any trace of doubt or retreat. "I didn't understand the ending.""Ohhh! The part where I said I want our children to grow up with their crazy aunt nearby." I repeated, and a smile began to bloom on his lips. "You know what, psycho cat, I have a crazy aunt and she's the best, and I really wish I could have grown up near her, so I'd like my children to have a crazy aunt aro
Rafael’s POVWhen I sat down on the couch, buttoning the third button of my shirt, I looked at Hannah sitting on the table, looking beautiful, smiling as if she had some mischievous thought, with her feet crossed and swinging and her hands resting on the table. She was wearing a well-behaved dress in a peach tone, which had a midi length with a slit on the right leg and puffy sleeves, but somehow she made that well-behaved and casual dress look very sexy."Oh, my crazy girl, you're so beautiful! But what's this story about taking lingerie photos for Rubina to advertise?" I asked calmly and she giggled."You know what, psycho cat, I don't want Rub to leave. Big Brute is in love and she is too, she just hasn't understood yet that you can't stay away from someone you love. And also, I really like her and Rai, I want our family to be together," she said and got off the table, pulling a chair to place in front of me."Our family?" I asked with a silly smile."Yes, our family! Because I know
