Viviane
As I had told João Felipe, I spent the rest of Sunday studying in my room.
My parents arrived in the afternoon and after dinner, I made a point of preparing, as I was sure that my mother must be tired from the trip, I retired to my corner again, but this time to sleep.
I would have to wake up early, and there was no point in getting there sleepy, even more so after the night João Felipe and I had. She was tired, both from the studies and the night of lovemaking. It was a wonderful night, as I always dreamed it would be my first time. I can even say that it exceeded my expectations, and I didn't know what to expect for the next few days.
But I was down “to" earth enough to know that what was between us wasn't serious and that it didn't have a future either. It was a matter of seizing the moment and then moving forward with your head held high.
With that thought in mind, I managed to fall asleep quickly.

The exam week flew by and I didn't have time to see João Felipe in person. Nor did he press for it, as he had taken over his position at his father's company and was fully focused on picking up the pace of his duties in the new role.
He texted me several times, and we spoke briefly over the phone a few times, but that only added to my longing for us to be together again.
It was already Friday and we agreed to meet at night, but we still didn't know how we would do it. As I already imagined, he didn't want anyone to know about our relationship and I just agreed. I couldn't expect anything different from João Felipe.
I was getting ready, still undecided on what to wear since I didn't know where we were going when my cell phone rang with a message notification from JP.
João Pedro: Our friends are waiting for us at Evolution.
João Pedro: Hurry up!
Viviane: I don't remember having arranged anything for today.
João Pedro: I agreed for us.
João Pedro: Since when do I have to make an appointment with you?
I thought and before answering, I decided that I would not make a fuss about something so normal between us. It was our habit to schedule a schedule with the presence of the other. And since JP knew my exams ended today, he had no reason to turn down your invitation.
Joao Felipe could wait for tomorrow. "Who doesn't know what they want, loses what they have," says the popular saying.
Viviane: I'm almost ready.
Viviane: I'll be right back in your room.
I would opt for my friend, who never abandoned me or put me aside because of appearances. I wouldn't fail to put João Pedro in the first place, even more so for João Felipe, the snob brother.
However, that didn't mean I didn't feel sad about this decision. Our moments together were wonderful, I couldn't deny it. There were feelings on my part and the worst thing when it comes to love is when it's one-sided. But I wouldn't fail to enjoy some moments with him either. I just couldn't prioritize someone who didn't have me as a priority.
But I really wanted to see João Felipe and after today, when he realized that I wasn't going to go out with him to be with JP and our friends, maybe he wouldn't want anything to do with me anymore. Not even the casual sex he'd offered me, which he'd put another way to downplay the fact that this was all he wanted and expected from me.
João Felipe
I was finishing getting dressed and still didn't know how I was going to get Viviane without putting her in an uncomfortable situation. I couldn't just ask her to wait for me around the corner! I would never make a suggestion like that to her. Nor could I risk all my plans for the future by putting myself in a situation where an acquaintance might catch us together.
Sticky situation!
I was still in front of the mirror, analyzing the whole situation and trying to come up with a "solution" for my impasse when my mother entered my room.
" The door was open, even so, I still knocked and you didn't hear me " she explained when seeing my questioning expression. " He's very thoughtful these days. Something at the company?”
My mother was a beautiful woman, in her fifties, and always very elegant. She came from a very traditional family, just like Dad. I believe this was why she was so insistent that I marry into our midst, to maintain "the bloodline."
" No problem," I said, turning back to the mirror and trying to forget about the problem with Viviane and focus on what my mother had to say. " After all, I prepared myself to occupy the presidency of the group and this position doesn't require much of me. Then I can assure you that everything is fine, Mom.”
" I feel so proud of you, my son," he said with a huge smile. But her expression changed as she continued. " So different from João Pedro!”
" What did João Pedro do this time, Mom? " I said, already smiling.
Mom was always dissatisfied with my brother, and I was sure he didn't mind that one bit. We were pretty much opposites in that regard, but I loved my brother anyway. Respected her choices, however much disagreed with most of them.
" He was leaving arm in arm with the employee's daughter! I know I should have gotten used to it by now, but…”
I was no longer listening to what my mother was saying.
What do you mean Viviane was leaving with João Pedro?
"... I know you're a good girl, but you're not the suitable company for your brother!”
"Mom, we can talk better another time, all right? I'm late for an appointment.”
I kissed my mother's cheek and hurried out to see if I could still catch up with them in our garage. I deduced that it would be a short time since the scene that mother described seeing.
No such luck and I got into my car slamming the door.
How had she agreed with me and was going to date, my brother? I couldn't believe she had done something like that!
I decided to send a message to Viviane, demanding an explanation, when I realized that she had already sent me some and that I hadn't noticed.
Viviane: I'm going out with João Pedro.
Viviane: There was no way I could refuse without arousing suspicion.
Viviane: Shall we arrange for tomorrow?
I looked at the time of the messages and realized that it had been over forty minutes ago. I was so focused on finding a way to find her without anyone seeing us that I didn't even pay attention to the incoming messages.
I texted my brother and asked where he was. Upon receiving his location, I decided that I would go to the place they were and then decide how to proceed.
I couldn't go another day without kissing that girl, it was too long away.
I had come to the conclusion, after a lot of thinking about the whole thing with Viviane, or lack thereof, that the more we had sex, the faster I would get over this crazy feeling I had for that girl, I'm sure.
I headed towards the Evolution nightclub, where they were already, as far as I could understand, and passed by the entrance after paying a high price for the entrance to the VIP area.
The place was very spacious, its lighting was diffused and with lights, like most clubs, it was full of people, mostly young people.
As I went up to the VIP area, I was soon able to spot a very lively group, made up of about five people, including my brother and Viviane.
