Last Chapter

I still don't know what happened, but why does it feel like I just got into a love triangle? First of all is the girl who I always thought was a boy, appears in front of me and says that she came to fulfill our childhood promise, and after that comes Julia saying that I can't love another girl but her, I think I'm in in one of those anime clichés, but this isn't even an anime, it's real life and things like that don't happen often or rather, they don't.

This morning, I woke up with Mylene calling me, she invited me to go out with her and said that my presence was mandatory, Júlia told mom that I was dating an unknown girl and she came to congratulate me and tell me to bring she here someday.

I don't want to bring Mylene here, and I don't want Mom bothering me to bring her, today was the second day of the cultural festival, the last day is tomorrow, and I'm scared by the folk dance time, I'll be pulled by both to dance and I don't like to dance and I don't want to.

***

While I was waiting for Mylene in the school garden, a beautiful girl with beautiful and long blonde curls came and approached me, her eyes were a blue as bright as crystalline water, her average height and her proportionate body left transpiring a beautiful girl, she was dressed in a red lace dress and her smile was like a ray of sunlight, she approached me and fixing her hair, she looked me up and down, my nervousness was visible, I didn't I managed to maintain my posture close to her, my legs weakened for a moment and my heart was racing, my breathing was labored and I tried to remain calm.

"Darling, did Mylene take too long?" she said as she looked at me.

'Who are you?' I thought.

- No no. You didn't take long, and you look so beautiful today.

After hearing this, she blushed and lowered her head in shame.

"Darling, I bet you say that to everyone, you womanizer. she said as she punched me lightly in the arm.

"Sorry, but this is the first time I've complimented a girl, and I'm really nervous. I replied.

She held my hand, and pulled me towards the festival, her scent was so sweet that I couldn't keep calm around her, what was going on at that moment?

I couldn't pay attention to anything else, everything around me seemed to make no sense anymore, it was as if I was bewitched by her.

— Mylene, when we were kids you used to dress like a man, and I always thought you were a man, seeing you today, you're so different that it's hard to look at you and not admire you for your beauty. she said as she looked at the floor, she squeezed my hand as if she was embarrassed.

— B-Baka, don't say such shameful things, that's embarrassing, before Mylene dressed as a man, because she thought it was fun, when she changed town, Mylene stopped dressing as a man and started dressing as a woman. - she said.

***

The festival tour was something unique for me, a dream had come true, all my fantasies of that day were now real, and the girl I always fantasized about was there in front of me and she looked like a goddess, her beauty was stunning, we went on several toys and at the end of the festival she pulled me to the school terrace, that late afternoon, the view of the sun going down from the terrace was wonderful, sitting on that bench she turned to me and held my hands, her hands were sweating quite and trembling it was as if she was nervous about something or something.

"Paulo, do you know why Mylene called you here?"

"No…"

"Since we were little, Mylene has kept this promise, and now that we're together again, Mylene doesn't want to wait any longer…"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Mylene wants to say that, Paulo loves you, and wants to spend all her time with you, grow old by your side and have two children and a dog."

"Did you even think back in the future..."

"So, Mylene wants to hear from you, your decision…"

' what do I do now? I can't even look at her properly.'

" Paulo, do you want to marry Mylene?"

"..."

That offer had left me so surprised that I was perplexed and without any reaction, what would I do? How would I answer that?

I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but I didn't want to refuse her request, I was at such an impasse, it was hard to believe.

"Look, I really enjoyed that we got to meet again, but let's start going on dates first, this is too sudden, and I don't know how to react yet."

" So I'll take it as a yes, from now on, you're Mylene's boyfriend and only Mylene's…"

By the minute it was getting harder to believe, I couldn't believe that the girl who had waited for me for so many years was declaring herself my girlfriend and monopolizing me. I imagined this.

When the megaphone announced that the school would close, we went to Karaoke, we didn't want to go home yet, we sang all night, when we got tired we just sat on the couch, on the way home we walked a little in the park, that cool breeze stirred the leaves on the trees, sitting on that park benchwe admired the silence that was maintained there, the few couples that passed by, really there was one of the scenes where I fantasized the most and it was really happening, it was real.

"Paulo, being with you is like a dream, Mylene feels like she's living a dream and she doesn't want to wake up from it…"

"I also feel like I'm in a dream, and it's like it's just a dream, which I've dreamed of many times and today it's real..."

***

When it got late at night we went to my house, and I took her to my room, we walked slowly so as not to wake anyone, and we went straight up to my room, she was completely blushing when she saw that she was in a boy's room, I made the bed for her. she went to sleep and I went to sleep on the futon that was in the closet, when the day dawned, I was woken up by a scream.

— Mom, Onii-chan brought a girl here and had sex with her. shouted Julia.

— Júlia, I already told you to knock on the door before entering. I replied.

"Waah, Mylene, what are you doing lying next to me on the futon?"

"I'm sorry Darling, Mylene went to the bathroom and when I came back I thought I was lying on the bed…"

After saying that she hugged me and wrapped her arms around my neck, laying her head on my shoulder, she was so soft and her smell was so sweet that I couldn't touch her.

"Mylene, you can't sleep on my arm."

After having breakfast, we decided to go out for a walk, that Saturday became special for me, I was so happy that I had my biggest dream come true.

We walked, in the mall, in the cafeteria and even in an underwear store, I was so embarrassed, that I was bothered and looking at all sides of that store.

That day was so perfect, it seemed like nothing could ruin it, until that moment, while we were sitting in the park I got a call from a number that wasn't on my contact list, I declined the first call.

But that number called me another 3 times, with so much insistence I decided to answer the call, the voice was a bit too familiar.

"Hello who is?"

"Paulo, I miss hearing your voice, this is Mommy."

"..."

After hearing this, Paulo was paralyzed without any reaction, and the voice on the other end of the line continued:

"I missed you, and I called you to see if you wanted to spend some time at my house, what do you think? Do you want to come to Mom's house?"

"Why did you only show up now? I spent many years believing that you didn't love me and that you hated me, you abandoned me and now you come as if nothing had happened and invite me to your house?"

"I'm sorry son, you have every reason to hate mommy, so could you forgive mommy?"

After hearing that, I hung up the call without answering her question, why would I have to answer her request? I'm a little worried about it and then I'll think about it, my day has been ruined by this call, I'm going to my house and I don't want to leave for a while.

When I got up from the bench, Mylene grabbed my arm and tried not to let me leave, as my face was wet with tears I didn't want her to see me cry, I pulled my hand away and ran towards my house, my phone was ringing constantly with the calls from Júlia and Mylene, I just ignored them and hung up the phone, I ran into my house and went up to my room, lay down in mine and covered myself from head to toe, my head was confused with all those memories and various thoughts .

Eu it was bad and I couldn't stop pouringtears, every time I thought about it, I felt my heart suffocate and little by little I lost my strength, the confusion in my mind took away all mycheer and it made those close to meworry, but even knowing that I couldn't stop thinking and suffering.
