Elis de Albuquerque Lee Anthony I opened my eyes and saw that little being breathing slowly before my eyes. Julia had a delicious smell of peace. Her eyes closed and her mouth half open , reminded me of when she was still a small, fragile baby. I had lost eight years of her childhood, but I would have a lifetime to make up for it. I lifted my head and saw the child's body occupying practically my entire side of the bed. There was room for four people there, but she preferred to curl up around my legs, probably looking to feel safe in a place that was still unknown to her. I had shown her her room, beautifully decorated by Laura. The only room in the house I hadn't seen when Thomas had taken me there. He had justified that it was under renovation and had many objects scattered around. I would never have thought that this was the room my daughter would occupy. Even though it was so beautiful and full of toys, Júlia preferred to sleep in my bed, and I accepted, of course. If I could, I

Laura AnthonyI woke up startled hearing Simon's voice. That afternoon hadn't been out of my head for thirteen years. It was our last game together. After that day, my uncle Thomas and Simon's father, Mr. Richard, announced that they were going to New York to start a security company. The two had worked together as bodyguards for at least fifteen years , but wanted to have a business of their own. They planned, they saved, they really prepared for that dream.My father had already commented that the two were organizing everything, but I never believed that this day would come. Well it arrived! And took my two best friends. My mother tried to comfort me, saying that we could visit them soon, but the hurt grew in my heart like wildfire spreading through the forest. I was being excluded from the group. Matheus and Simon would be friends forever, they would attend the same school, they would make new friends, who knows, maybe they wo
Laura AnthonyOur flight to Stockholm took approximately twenty hours, with a stopover in Lisbon. It was a very exhausting procedure, but necessary, as the company's contacts in Sweden were extremely reliable. There we found our collaborator and got our new documents. Passports, visas, IDs, all prepared for our new life in the United States. We took the private jet and faced another eight hours of flight. I was already getting bored just looking at the clouds. It wasn't that I didn't like the view, but the anticipation of getting to know my new life was greater than the natural beauty outside the window.My uncle had told me that I would need to stay in New York for a long time, as the case was very complicated. So I didn't know when I would return to Brazil. Nothing held me back to my homeland except work. My family on my father's side was all from the Northeast and I had never met any of them. My mother's relatives were America
Simon LeeIt wasn't easy to control the anxiety knowing that Laura was out there, just a few feet away from me. I always liked to hang out at the bar before shows, but I wanted her to see me at just the right moment. When Matheus told her that she was already staying at the apartment, I wanted to run there and say how long I had waited for that moment. But I had to hold back and hold back the fucking desire to find her again. Now here I was, locked in a dressing room, like a cowardly fifteen-year-old, trying to imagine what her reaction would be when she saw me.After so many years apart, after countless bounced emails, I had forgotten all the hurt that had consumed me for years. She was outside. My Laura. My childhood crush. The only woman I truly loved.When Maicon walked in, announcing that there were only ten minutes to go, my hands began to sweat. What the fuck is happening to you, Simon? Never had stage
Simon LeeIt wasn't easy to see Laura's contemptuous reaction in front of me. For many years I tried to imagine what she thought about us. Matheus said that she ran away from the subject whenever he touched my name. Now I was sure. She hated me. The way she walked out of the bar, without looking back, wouldn't have been as overwhelming as if she'd slapped me in the face. Laura Anthony didn't want to be by my side, and I needed to do something to change that situation.And it was determined to make her listen to me as I walked into the condo where she lived and waited at the front desk. Matheus said that she always went for a walk when she was upset. So I called him and asked him to check with Sara to see if my Little One was planning to exercise in the morning. With the confirmation, I tried to get up early in the condominium and waited on the sofa at the reception.When the elevator opened,
Laura AnthonyAs I walked towards the apartment, I remembered every moment of that encounter I had so avoided. Seeing Simon waiting for me, at the reception of the condominium, rekindled feelings that I insisted on erasing from my memory. For the first time, after so many years, I stood before him. At the bar I didn't have the perception of her body, but there, in that moment, I understood Sara's words the night before. What cat! What a body! Simon was always a handsome boy, attracting the attention of several girls in high school. But at that time my interest in him was almost chaste. I liked talking, listening to him sing and sharing our moments, but it wasn't even remotely the kind of feeling I was feeling at the time. I have always admired handsome men. From twelve to fifteen I experienced that phase of knowing my own body. It touched me, I felt a desire for artists, but it was always platonic.Even with everything that had h
Simon LeeWhen I rang the apartment doorbell, carrying a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of wine, I didn't expect to find Laura looking heavy. She thought our conversation in the morning had made her let her guard down. But when I took a closer look at his face, I noticed that it was swollen. Even the makeup couldn't hide the reddened eyes.—What happened, Laura? — I asked. The agony taking over my body.— Nothing happened. It's just an allergy attack. I think last night's chill got to me pretty hard.— She sniffed and rubbed her nose after ushering me in.—Do you want me to buy you some medicine?— Want to go to the doctor?—Don't worry about me, we'll focus on your case.— She crossed her arms in front of her in clear defensive language.—Of course I worry. You weren't like that this morning. I brought these flowers, but I don't even know if it was a
