C15 Chapter 15

Eliza Campos

I was thinking about the invitation I received from Carla and Afonso to go to their party, I know that he is Pedro's friend and maybe Pietro's acquaintance. I only accepted the invitation because I needed to relax a little.

For this little party, today I decided to rock the boat, to call everyone's attention. I put on a long, shoulder-length black dress with a slit that went halfway up my thigh. It was very tight to my body and highlighted all my curves, which for a while I even tried to hide because I was ashamed of my body, which many said was statuesque.

I don't use foundation or concealer, I just choose to use very red lipstick on my lips to leave them well-marked.

A few hours later, I am finally ready, as I was not in the mood to drive, I opt to pay for an app car.

In a few minutes, the taxi driver arrives at my house and I get in his car. I notice that the man keeps looking at my legs, a sign that I must look good.

The trip to Afonso's house doesn't take long, and when the taxi driver finally parks the car I could see from a distance that Heloísa, Cassandra, and Carla had just arrived. I pay for the ride thank him and approach my friend.

- Carla - I speak calling her attention.

When Carla finally notices my presence, she just looks me up and down, dumbfounded.

- Lizz, how wonderful you look - She says still not believing how different I looked, and it wasn't even my appearance, but, it was because of the dress I was wearing - I'm sure you want to kill someone in the heart.

Carla was also wonderful, I already noticed that this one likes to call attention, she wore a black leather skirt, on top she wore a crop in the same color and her makeup was flashy, dark wine lipstick and eyes well marked.

- Friend, you are also too beautiful - I talk making Carla give a little spin.

After realizing that Heloísa and Cassandra were a little far away from both of us, I turned toward Carla and speak.

- Carla, it seems that everywhere we go we will find these two.

Carla laughs at the way I was talking.

- Yes," she says, "Shall we go inside?

After that, we enter the party, which is great, very crowded. The girls probably did not like my presence, but I was not expecting what was going to happen from now on, that I would meet Mathews again at the party, I did not know that he was known to Afonso.

- Mathews," I say as I approach him.

As soon as he realizes my presence he flashes a huge smile on his face. Then I slowly approach him and he hugs me tightly.

- What are you doing here? - He asks, kissing my forehead.

- Carla is Afonso's sister, she invited me to this party too," I answer.

Mathews makes a surprised expression.

- Wow, I met Afonso, but I did not know that Carla was his sister," says Mathews.

After a few minutes of conversation, Mathews also talks to Carla and then comes back to me, I confess that I was very happy to meet him again at the party.

I was only sad to see Heloísa with Pedro. I know it's only been a few days since we met, but I feel something for him that I've never felt for anyone else.

- I was very happy to find you here at the party," I say with a huge smile on my face, but I lose it when I see Heloísa kissing Pedro. Then I blink my eyes for a few moments until I stop feeling that urge and turn toward Mathews and speak, almost whispering in his ear, "Math, I'm going to the bathroom and I'll be right back.

I walk as fast as I can to the bathroom, my legs felt like two ice-cold legs and on the way I bump into some people I don't know, at that moment I didn't even care, much fewer apologies. I didn't have the head to do any of that.

I thank God that when I entered the bathroom I realized it was empty. Then I approached the bathroom sink which was huge and turned on the tap taking some water and soaking my neck and face to try to calm me down.

After all this process I decided to return to Mathews.

Math opened another smile when he saw me, taking one of my hands.

- I'm glad you're back. Would you do me the honor of dancing? - asked Math. He always was such a gentleman. The music that was playing at the moment was calm.

I appreciate this request, it had been a long time since I had danced. I couldn't stand the sight of that couple anymore.

- Of course, I accept. With the greatest pleasure.

He, still holding one of my hands, leads us to where other couples are dancing, placing his other hand on my waist. I feel so peaceful, the music that was playing at the moment was soft and calm.

We stay dancing for a few moments. I was on an internal ticket not to look where Heloísa and Pedro were, I didn't want to witness that scene anymore that was making my stomach churn.

- Eliza, are you all right? You were quiet all of a sudden," Mathews asks me looking into my face.

I sigh and answer.

- Nothing happened, I'm just tired.

What was not a lie, I am tired of everything that has happened in the last few days. Since the discovery that my father was closer to me than I could ever imagine, besides having other sisters and feeling something for a forbidden person.

Mathews, seeing that I wasn't feeling well, glued our bodies together even more so that I could lay my head on his shoulder and calmly with his hand began to caress my hair with great affection.

That caress was so delicious that I just closed my eyes and let myself feel the caress that Mathews was giving me at that moment.

However, that caress was abruptly interrupted by someone I never thought could do this.
