the lights inside were already on. Theyhadnt talked much after the strawberry episode and Kim was feeling a bitinsecure. Do youwant to come in and have dinner with us? She invited. Drewsmiled. Concerned about me? You know Idont like you all by yourself in the apartment. Not everyone can have great parents like yours, Kim. He answered simply but turned offthe car. Yes, I want to go in. Am I stupid to brush your mothers food off? Noway. Andrew hadleft his parents home as soon as he had finished high school. They hadnt beenabusive or anything like that, but there were some people just no fitted to beparents. He had rented a small apartment in town and had continued working inthe bookstore he worked till that day. Drew andKim had been friends since forever it seemed. They lived in a small town in Colorado and had studiedtogether since kindergarten. He had been popular in high school and she hadbeen normal. Andrew had started dating Ashley on the third year and they hadbeen on and off since. Ashley hadbeen the typical popular teenager: cheerleader, beautiful and shallow. Kimstill didnt get it how Drew dated her but they had been together for years.There mustve been something good in her. But Kimberly knew Ashley brought toomany headaches to Drews life and she could hate her for that alone. Drewdeserved so much better. He was the most funny, gentle and kind guy she knew.That was why he had so many friends and why she absolutely couldnt get howcould anyone not notice how amazing he was. Like his parents or Ashley. Thatwas also the little issue: she had been in love with him for as long as theyhad been friends. Forever. She hadwanted to get into Law School since she had beena kid and her dream had always been Yale. But when the time had come to applyfor college, Kim had decided to attend one of the universities in the state.And even though she hadnt told anyone, she knew her parents were aware herdecision had been because she hadnt wanted to get away from him. Kim hadalways been the friend, the confident, the girl always there. She supposed itcouldve been worse. They couldve not been close at all. And besides, she knewDrew counted on her opinion more than anyone elses. She had a big place in hisheart and had been learning to be content with that. Mom, werehere! Kim announced as they entered. They wereimmediately involved by the smell of food cooking in the kitchen and shewatched Drew clutch his belly and roll his eyes in ecstasy. She laughed aloudand closed the door behind them. Oh God.This smell. Drew moaned as if meeting with angels in paradise. How can youlive here and not weigh three hundred pounds? Greatmetabolism. She smiled and watched her mother Rebecca come running. Drew.Theres been centuries since youve come here last! The woman grabbed his faceand kissed his both cheeks. I came todinner last week, Becky, remember? But it seems centuries truly. You lookbeautiful. Have you decided already to run away with me?
Oh, now.She grinned and kissed her daughter. Thats why he has the whole feminine towndying for just one look. Stopcharming my lady, Andrew. Her father Marcus screamed from the living room. Ortherell be no pie for you later. Drew lookedat Becky with puppy eyes. Pie? Applepie. He shookhis head and stared at Kim helplessly. Convince your mom to adopt me, please. Kim smiledand circled her arm around his. Well be upstairs, mama. Her fatherscreamed again. No making out! Kimblushed. Dad, this isnt funny. Of courseit isnt. Rebeccalaughed like life was a joke. Oh, Marcus, please! Theyre just friends. Howmany times does Kim have to say this? The womanwinked at them as if they shared a secret and went whistling back to thekitchen. Drew was hiding a smile and Kim just shook her head, leading him upthe stairs. He lay downon the bed as soon as they entered her bedroom. Your parents still think wereplanning to elope together. Do they do this with your boyfriends? Because shewas still embarrassed, Kim got busy arranging her books on her bookshelf. Idont date a lot and you know it. Yes. Younever really told me why. He stared at her intently. Actually, I can reckonyou dating seriously just two guys. And youhated both of them. They weredickheads. Drew answered smoothly. Have you had sex with them? The booksshe was arranging in a shelf dropped at her feet and she moaned in pain. Kimwent stumbling to the bed and sat down. Her pinky was red. Always the pinky. Drew didntseem affected. Have you? For Godssake, Andrew! Thats definitely something with you today. It occursto me that you never told me this. I dont even know if my best friend is avirgin. Thats absurd. Do I askyou about your sex life with Ashley? Ill tellyou if you want to know. He shrugged and she cursed. I told you when I lostmy virginity. Andrew,just drop it. Im not in the mood for this. Its asimple question. Evensimpler would be hitting your head with a book. Youreevading the issue. I can only think two things about this: or youre still avirgin at twenty-one or youre a horny girl and doesnt want me knowing aboutit. Kimlaunched herself at him. Just get out! Now! Drewlaughed hard and grabbed her arms. Im joking. Calm down. She cursedagain and closed her eyes. Im hating you immensely this moment. Thatsfine. I still love you enough for the both of us. Her insidesliquefied like jelly. Kim moaned and turned her back on him. I hate when youmake me adore you when Im hating you. I lovemaking you embarrassed. He turned her toward him again. Hey, beauty. Look atme. Serious question now. I really dont know if youre still a... Im not avirgin, okay! Happy now? He wasquiet for a long time. Youre not? She finallyopened her eyes and faced a serious Drew. You were hoping for a negativeanswer. Of courseI was! Who the fuck did you sleep with? Kim archeda brow. With the two boyfriends you mentioned two minutes ago. What wereyou thinking, Kimberly? Why didnt you
tell me? How come you slept with them?Have you no shame? They werent for you! Andrew,speak lower! And lets change the subject. I dont want you going all big brother on me. I am not!He screamed even louder and then took a deep breath. Kim, they weredickheads. They werenice. You were the one who was always rude. How was Isupposed to act? He sit and pointed a finger at her. You shouldnt have donethat! Oh, God.Enough. Do you want to fight about it now? Yes! Kim groanedand put a pillow over her head. Give me a break, Drew. He lay downagain and stared at ceiling. I just dont understand why you didnt tell me. It wasntimportant. And thats not a subject Im comfortable with. He wantedto pressure. He wanted to insist until he knew the exact day, month and year ithad happened. But he didnt. Okay,thats fine. Im sorry. Im overreacting, arent I? She pushedthe pillow away and looked at him. Yes, but I forgive you. Drew reachedout and touched her cheek. I just think you deserve better. You too. He smiled.You hate Ashley, dont you. I dontknow why you stay with her. Weve beentogether for a long time. I just... Im used to her. Thats aterrible excuse for staying with someone. Maybe. Thething is, Kim, sometimes when you try to change something, you end up screwingit big time. Ash is not perfect but we have good moments. You forgotsomething. If you dont risk it, youll have to accept the good. Dont youthink you deserve the best? Drew took alock of her hair around his finger. Whats the best, Kim? I guess...Youll have to figure it out by yourself. His fingertouched her forehead, her nose, her lips... Ash is terribly jealous of you, youknow? She says I love you more than I love her. Kim blinked fast. Shesright. Kids!Dinner time! Rebecca knocked on the door. ***Kimberlyentered the building like a volcano and went straight to the elevator. She hadleft the class early after receiving a call from Drew. He had been babbling onthe phone and she hadnt understood a word, but knew something had happened. She pressedthe button for the third floor four times and cursed when the damn thing movedlike a turtle. Come on,come on, come on... She jumpedoutside as soon as the doors opened and knocked furiously on the door. Rang thebell three times and finally she heard a noise from inside. When thedoor opened, it was not Drew who appeared. Ashleysmiled bitterly. Good afternoon, Kimberly. Where ishe? She wentinside without waiting for an answer and found Drew sitting by the computerdesk, his hair a mess and his eyes red. Drew. Shetook his face in her hands and he stared at her blindly. Whats it, baby? Whathappened? I foundhim like this. He didnt want to tell me. Ashley said abruptly, eyeing the twoof them angrily. Kim? Yes, yes.Whats the problem? Are you feeling bad? Is that it? He shookhis head. They liked it... Who? Can youstop holding him like a child? I amhis girlfriend! Ashley complained. Kim ignoredher. Tell me,
honey. Whats it? My book.My book, Kim. They will publish it. What?! And whyyou had to wait until she got here to finally open your mouth? Why didnt youtell me? Ashley started again. Just shutup! Kim eyed her. Cant you stop thinking about anyone but yourself? Itcaught him by surprise! No, thatsright. Drew frowned. I must be looking like a maniac. I was just... Whoa, youknow. I know.Kim said and then she smiled. I cant believe it! Congratulations! He grinnedand brought her close for a hug. Oh, thatsjust dandy. Do you two want to be alone? Ashley groaned. Yes. Both womenstared at him. Ash almost gagged. Excuse me? You heardme. You didnt even have the decency to pretend to be happy for me, so just go,Ashley. Ill not be missing you, thats for sure. Oh, buthow dare you! Yearslate, but yes, I dare. Goodbye. Merry Christmas. Ashleyclosed the door behind her with such anger the floor trembled. Like nothing hadhappened, Drew put his arms around Kim again. Imshaking. Dont ever tell anyone that or Ill hunt you down. Youreentitled to it. Kim assured and laughed hysterically. I told you! Didnt Inow? I told you this would happen! You did. Oh my God.We have to tell everyone! Lets run across the street yelling it! She suggestedjumping but then hugged him again. Oh my God! I think Im gonna cry. I nevercry. Drew, thats marvelous. Thats... Drew, I knew youd make it. You are such agood writer! And when you sell a million books and get rich, dont forget me! I dontknow about a million books, but I wont forget you. Youre the reason that thisis happening. You were the one who pulled my ear until I had sent the copy. Youdid it. Okay,fine. Im pretty great too. Lets celebrate! He grinned.Yes, lets. Drew closedhis hand around her neck and sealed their lips. Kim stopped moving altogetherand just felt. Those lips... God. He took her hips and brought her closer,deepening the kiss. One of his hands went to her head and pulled the hair,lifting her mouth for more access. Drew. Waita minute... He startedpushing her toward the couch. No. Ive waited for years, Kim. I want you now. But... He layabove her and took her mouth again. Shh. You talk too much sometimes. What doyou mean by that? How come you were the one who waited... Well talklater, Kim. Now shut up. Fine! She circledhis hips with her legs and took them both to the ground. ** Later, theylay breathless above the carpet. Kim she still had her bra on but couldnt findthe energy to mind it. She stared at ceiling helplessly, and then groaning, puther hands on her face. Drew turned his head toward her and grinned. What didwe do, Drew? He toucheda finger between her still-covered breasts and undid the clip. The bra opened.Love, sex, fireworks. Take a pick. He leaned and closed his mouth around oneof them. I guess fireworks is more accurate. She archedfor a minute enjoying the sensation and then stared at his widely grinningface. We got excited by
the situation and... God, were friends. Tomorrow whenyoure thinking straight, youll regret it and then Ashley will come alongagain and I... Youre thebest, Kim. Remember? Even more, youre mybest. Ive known it for some time but I just didnt have the courage to do actupon it. He kissed her mouth and her chin. Didnt you get it what we talkedabout yesterday? About not taking risks embracing the unknown. How was Isupposed to feel if I screwed up things with you? Even now I dont know whatIll do if this happens. Youre the most important person in my life. Kim couldtruly feel her heart wanting to spread its wings and fly straight out of hermouth. Why... Why didnt you tell me before? Ive loved you forever. Im sorry.Im not very brave, Kim, you know that. I dont feel like getting out of mycomfort zone often. I knownothing of the sort. She put a finger on his lips. Drew kissed it, making herlegs melt. Youre brave when you let yourself be, baby. What you lacked onyour life was support. Support from people that mattered to you, thats theproblem. But Ialways had you. Drew sighed and touched his forehead to hers. I didntappreciate it enough. I want to do it now. Weve lost enough time. Will yougive me a chance, Kim? She smiled.Should I? Yes. Henodded and didnt try to keep the desperation out of this voice. I love you sovery much. Youve always been my best friend and my best everything. Im sorryI made us wait all this time, Im sorry I wasnt brave enough to bet on us, butI ask you to let me do this now. Youve always been there for me and I want tomake up to you. I want to support and cherish you right back. I want to sharethe profit from a million sold books with you. We belong together, Kim. And thinkthis way; it's perfect, we are fucking good even in bed. Oh, well, in carpet,actually. But well try the bed in a bit. Kimberlylaughed hard and put her arms around his neck. Okay, Andrew Minefield. Youconvinced me. Guess were gonna elope together after all. My daddy will huntyou down. Drewgrinned, buring his face in the hair he loved. Were worth it. THE END
Ola, pessoal. Hoje trago a primeira parte do conto baseado na antiga musica "My Girl",na versao em que Tiago Iorc regravou. Ela e grandinha e postarei por partes nas postagens. Tambem e um conto em ingles e eu espero que realmente tenha alguem para le-lo. Beijos gulosos. Link da musica: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DppBhl4_fJc My Girl It was on a rainy Monday, at seven a.m., right in the middle of a subways wagon when he first met her. Just like everybody else, Theo was not happy with the beginning of another boring week and even less happy with the quantity of people crushing him. Too used to the routine to even let out a frustrated breath, he just closed his eyes for a moment, wishing his bed back. He supposed it was a ridiculous situation to meet someone, but that was what happened. Two stops after his boarding, the rush of people wanting in started once again and a body bumped his. Oh... Sorry. She said and then bumped him again when the crowd pushed her. The woman smiled apologetically. Not used to this day-to-day crushing. Thats ok. Its not like you can help it. Theo said smiling back. She had blond hair, golden blond the kind that made you think of liquid gold in case you touched it. Her eyes were dark-as-midnight blue and very deep, very alluring. She was beautiful. Not too much nor too striking. Beautiful was simply the word one thought when looking at her. Dont know how people can stand this madness daily. Im just suffering this torment today cause Im late for college. Again. She rushed the words out and then paused when he just kept staring at her. Do you face this everyday, dont you? Yeah. Guess Im not so lucky. She smiled slowly. Pity on you. The woman shook her head and then added. Point for you too, though. Youre not so ill-humored like everybody else. I am, actually. He confessed. But you look like you wanna chat, so... Pleased to hear you. She laughed aloud and the sound warmed him a bit. She had a nice laugh. A very nice, very appealing laugh. Boy, arent you a sweet one. The woman commented with a great smile. I talk a lot, I admit. I love people. She said that so matter-of-factly that he believed instantly. The talkative woman shrugged like that was a burden that she had to carry around every single day, year and decade of her life. Wasnt I so entranced with art, wouldve studied Psychology. Im a dancer, ya know? Gonna be one of the best some day. Im sure you will. Theo agreed firmly with another smile of his own. You seem to be an active person. Had to put all that energy into good use somehow. Bet youre a great dancer. Why do you say so? She asked, interested. Youre determined to be one of the best; you must be at least great or wouldnt dream so high. You look like a person who knows her own talents and weaknesses. My, my...
Arent you an observer too. Pleased with the compliment, she stared at his caramel-brown eyes and honey-brown hair. Whats your name? Theo. He answered easily, considering possibilities. Yours? What youd call me? Hurricane. He responded and when she laughed again, completed. Like I said, an active person... You cant seem to stop moving: your hands, your feet, your head... Your mouth, too. He said the last with a small ironic smile. The woman was having a lot of fun, something she wouldnt have thought possible considering the place. My name is Spring. Really? He couldnt help his amusement. Yeah. You can laugh. Thanks. And he did. Spring also didnt try to suppress her laugh. Theres a motive behind the name. Maybe Ill tell you the story if I see you again... Her smile was full of mysteries. Id like to know. Theo said, noticing that he really wanted to see her again. Maybe if you could gimme your number. Maybe... She said again. Then with a velocity that surprised him, she opened her backpack and ripped a piece of paper from a notebook. Easily found a pen and wrote something, using the palm of her other hand as a rest. Here. She stretched the paper to him. Thats my cell phone and my profile on Facebook. Theo laughed with that and she lifted her brow. What? Im a modern person. Hey, thats my stop! I gotta go. Using all of her limbs at once with the movement, Spring turned around to ease into people, but then threw a look at him over her shoulder. It was nice meeting you, Theo. And like that she was gone. Theo looked at the paper, reading the number and her name on it, and smiled. Maybe the week was in for a surprise, after all. TO BE CONTINUED
Hoje trago a voces mais um conto em ingles. Este foi baseado na musica "Since U Been Gone" da Kelly Clarkson e fala sobre auto-valorizacao. Deixarei o link abaixo. Boa leitura! =) Link para ouvir a musica: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7UrFYvl5TE Since U Been Gone Sound of cursing. Jane wasactually aware of it, but the noise didnt disturb her. It was kind of darklyfunny, really. Instead of being annoyed, she turned the page of Pride and Prejudice and resumed herreading. Heavyfootsteps against the carpet announced that he had entered the living room, butshe didnt lift her head. He cursed some more trying to get her attention, butit was useless. She was determined to not be bothered with his presence in theslightest. Jane,baby. Come on. Liam approached the couch she was sitting on. Jane. Look atme. Stillthere, Liam? She murmured without taking her eyes off the book. I told you tobe quick. Im going out in fifteen minutes. This is myhouse, damn it! Jane liftedher eyes. Yes, it is. And we have an agreement, dont we? You agreed that Ihad the right to stay a few more days assuming I was the one who paid for thefurniture. You donthave to throw this on my face every fucking time. He answered and cursed againwhen she continued staring at him calmly. Jane, do we have to do this? Youknow she didnt mean a thing to me. You know I love you. Youre going todestroy what we have for a whore? No, Iwont. You already did it. She smiled sweetly. Lets jump the part you sayyoure sorry, ok? Thats become routine and you know I hate routine. So, justgrab the rest of your things and go. Jane, stopbeing so melodramatic! It was a mistake! Everybodys entitled to make one. Idont want to go. Baby... He sat on the couch beside her and took her hand,looking deep in her eyes as he knew she loved. I love you. Please? Let me stayand well make it right. Just give me one more chance and I wont disappointyou a second time. No. Sheslipped her hand of his hand smoothly and added just as smoothly. Now getout. God,youre cold! You dont even pretend to be sad. And then you still ask why I hadto go and cheat on you. I neverasked, Liam. Dont lie, baby. Hervoice was cool. Now get out of my couch, grab your excuse for a bag and goscrew someone else. Were done. Stop acting like a miserable dog. Yourepathetic. He clenchedhis teeth. Youll regret it. Youll miss me because no one else will want towarm the sheets with a frigid bitch like you. Hear me? Youll come back runningand Ill make you beg until I take you back. Lie andwait, darling. She closed the book, stood and walked to open the door for him.Out. He raggedsome more and finally took his backpack and his two bags from the ground. Liamstared at her furiously before passing through the door. You will regretit. Bye. Drivesafe. She closed the door. Jane didntlean against it like some poor and sad female, but lifted
her chin and walkedstraight to the guest room where she was currently staying. She wasnt asunaffected as she wanted to be; after all, Liam had been her friend beforebecoming her lover and they had spent one year dating and two living together. Bitter asit was, the separation had to sting some. The betrayal scratched her pride.Quite a bit. But there was no point in mulling over it. What was done was doneand she had a lot of living to do to be worrying about Liam. She totallybelieved that there were people in the world who deserved her tears. People whoput smiles on her face more often than not. Liam wasnt one of them. When they hadbeen friends, yeah... He had been a good listener perhaps, but, the good parte had ended there. Foolish of her not to have noticed it before long. When hercell phone started ringing at her bedside table, she picked it up quickly andsmiled when she saw who it was. Are youhere yet? Courseam, sweetheart. You know I dont like to lose time. Life is too short. Hersister Lisa answered with her high pitched voice and usual good humor. Ready?Comingdown. Jane assured and ended the call. As soon asshe got out of the elevator, she saw her sisters car in front of her buildingand shortened her steps. Three friends of Lisas and hers were sitting on thebackseat of the car and Jane said hello while getting in. I think Isaw that SOB Liam getting out of your building. Am I having visions? Lisaasked as she started the car. He came toget the rest of his clothes. He divided the process in three trips in differentweek days to take some more time. Idiot.Her sister rolled her eyes. Janelaughed. My thoughts exactly. Wait. IsntLiam that dick who slept with your colleague in the backseat of your car?Christine, friend of Lisas, asked. The oneand the same. Whoa. Howare you holding up? If it was me, Id still be crying buckets. It has been,what, three weeks? Yeah. Idont lose time either. Learned with my big sister here. Jane smiled. Youknow what, Chris? Some are just not worth it. And if you dont care aboutyourself, no one else will. Keep that in mind. Besides She winked. Im notlosing much, if you get my meaning. The fivelaughed and it was all right with the world. *** Jess,dont stare at the camera. Look at Brian. Im not even here. Jane changed theangle of her camera and continued shooting. Thats it. Perfect. Youre asoon-to-be couple totally in love. No, Brian. Dont frown. Thats just yourfiancee there and when you look at her you cant believe your luck. Thatsexactly it. Marvelous. Just a couple more now. What about holding hands? Yeah.Great. And smiling? Youre happy, youre about to get married and the world isa wonderful place. Incredible. You make the most beautiful picture. Yes, kiss.Just dont get excited. Oh, the laughs are perfect. Thats it. Were done. Thatwas incredible. Oh, thatwas great! Jess laughed a little breathless from the kiss and smiled hugely atBrian. I feel perfect. Can
