Three Days With Him

One

When life draws you closer to people who have the gift of seeing beyond, it makes everything seem magical.

Supernatural.

And even knowing that nothing escapes the naturalness in the universe, it's impossible to contain the astonishment when your truth, the one you keep for yourself, appears so clear and so obvious to the other's gaze.

That's exactly what happens to me when we're together, even if it's miles away. Even without knowing me, he sees me whole.

He, whose angel's voice charmed my ears, without my perceiving he also read my soul and strengthened the certainty of my heart.

At least that's the way I feel when we're together, even if it's just tapping until midnight, like it happened yesterday.

Rafael:

Hey, Manu!

How're you doing?

Manoela:

Fine!

And you?

Rafael:

Better now... lol

What are you doing at this time?

Manoela:

Hmm...

Finishing my book, ''Found'' by Carina Rissi.

Her books are awesome and I'm already crazy to start "Looking for a husband".

Have you read it?

Rafael:

I've heard about it.

I know her, actually.

I mean, I knew Carina the other day, at one of these books fair in Belo Horizonte. But, tell me something...

I...

Manoela:

Did you know Carina Rissi?

No way! I can't believe it!

Lucky you, hun?

I wish I had gone to Book Biennial in São Paulo this year and met her too, this way I could had ask her some advices on how to find my own Ian Clark... lol.. Ooops, sorry, have I interrupted you?

Tell me... you... ???

Rafael:

So, Manu, it's that, along all this time tapping with you, I noticed that something inside me has been changing completely, you know?

I feel happier just by talking to you, and if it wasn't for the fact we live in different cities, I think I could even...

Hmm...

How can I say...

Manoela:

You could...???

Rafael:

I don't know, I think I'm starting to like our approuaching, you know?

Since the first day we started talking I notice that, and now...

Manoela:

Hmm

Rafael:

Well, now every day I can't wait to meet you in person, to be able to hold you, to look deep into your eyes.

They are so blue, so beautiful, a blue more gorgeous than the sky and the sea together.

Manoela:

Rafa...

I...

hum...

I have to go, we'll talk tomorrow.

Good night.

Damn it!

I can't believe what I just did!

He'd really say he's in love or I'm dreaming?

Oh my God, what now?

Is this the best moment, Rafael?

I can't just come back tomorrow and pretend this conversation didn't happen or that I didn't understand what he was about to say.

What if he gives me a cold shoulder because I left so abruptly?

I don't want him to ignore me.

I don't want to love Rafa's friendship, even more now that my heart's been asking that he plays a role more special than just a friend.
