NARRATED BY BARÃO
My day was crazy and activity-filled. When I arrived home at dawn, I went into my room, headed to the bathroom, took a cold shower, and threw myself on the bed naked; I like sleeping like that. The dawn was still young when I woke up the next day. The sun was just starting to come up. My radio was beeping, and it was my guy calling me to sort out some issues. I told him I'm good, I'll come by later. Today, I felt like having coffee with my sister and seeing what's up with the girl she brought. I got up, took a shower, put on some comfortable clothes, and left the room. Then I went down to the kitchen, and Dona Sandra was already making coffee.
“Good morning, my son,” she says looking at me, and I nod.
“Good morning, Dona Sandra. Everything good?” I reply, looking at her. I go to the fridge, open it, grab a bottle of water, fill a glass, and drink. Soon, Milena comes down the stairs, too.
“What's up, bro?” she says, looking at me. I look at her and nod.
“My friend is already here, okay? She slept over. Please, make sure to treat her well. She's going through some heavy s**t in her life. She doesn't need anyone giving her that mean look you have,” she says, and I look at her.
“You gotta be kidding me, Milena,” I reply, and she shakes her head. At the same moment, we hear footsteps coming down the stairs. I look at the stairs and see a light-skinned brunette with black hair, striking eyes, and a big butt, coming down. Man, I've never seen a curvy girl that hot. Seriously. Really hot.
My sister introduced us, and she stayed quiet, all embarrassed. I finish my coffee and leave quickly. I greet the guys who are on security at my place. I grab my bike and speed off to the spot. I arrive in front of the park and already see Brenda coming. Once she's by my side, she's all over me. What the heck is this? Doesn't this girl ever sleep?
“Hey, Brenda, what are you doing here so early, girl?” I ask, staring at her, and she looks at me with a smile on her face.
“Come on, babe, why you gotta treat me like this? I came to see you. Why didn't you come to see me? I was waiting,” she says, and I shake my head.
“I told you, don't call me love, damn it. And don't come here to the spot. If I want to see you, I'll go to your place. No problem,” I say, and she looks at me sadly.
“Come on, Barão, you always treat me like this. You use me like I'm an object. And when I come after you, you mistreat me, she says in an annoying voice
“I don't get why you keep making a fuss, girl. You know it's just s*x between us and that's it. Just spit it out, what do you want?” I ask, looking at her with crossed arms. I look down to be able to look at her, as she's short.
“Oh, I need some cash. I need to pay for some stuff at the grocery store. And I wanna get some clothes for the party tonight,” she says looking at me, and I already know it's all about money.
“Alright. Hang on, I'll grab some cash for you,” I say, and she smiles. I head into my office at the spot, open my safe, and grab a stack of 100 real bills. I head outside, and she's waiting at the door. I hand her the cash and she smiles, wanting to kiss me.
“Not in the mood. We'll catch up later,” I say, and she agrees.
“Alright, babe. If you need anything, just holler. I'll be waiting.” She walks away, swaying. I shake my head, return to my office, and get back to handling my business.
I was calling some suppliers when Naldo walked into my office. I ended the call and greeted him.
“Hey, all good?” he asks, shaking my hand. I nod.
“All good. Everything set for the party tonight?” I ask, and he confirms.
“So, the guys on security said your sister arrived yesterday with a girl. What's up with her?” he asks, throwing himself on the little couch in my office. I shake my head.
“I dunno, she's a friend of hers. Better not mess with her, let her be. She's dealing with some stuff,” I say, and he raises an eyebrow.
“But is she cute?” he asks.
I shrug. “I dunno. To me, women are all the same. He smiles, shaking his head.
He left my office and I stayed there handling some stuff. I still had to go out to collect some payments.
I spent the rest of the morning taking care of the party details. I like to keep everything on point. For me, the party has to be impeccable. Good MC on stage, and drinks are always ready. And the spots have to be stocked, with the guys all working and selling because it's the day when the most money comes in.
