Episode 2

Lucas Narrating

I spent the entire afternoon talking to the Rodrigues couple, and I found out that they are good people, unlike their son.

"Mrs. Sarah, will you be wanting dinner now?" Lurdinha asked with a smile on her face.

"You can set the table now, Lurdinha" Mrs. Rodrigues smiled kindly at Lurdinha.

Lurdinha left and we went back to talking, when Miguel appeared with his girlfriend.

"Mom, Dad, I need to talk to you" Miguel said smiling, and what a beautiful smile.

"Go ahead, son."

"I'm going out with Katarina to a club" he said, smiling even more.

Mrs. Rodrigues's face hardened.

"You know I hate that girl" she said, her face hardening even more.

"No one gets to decide my happiness" I felt like he was going to jump on everyone by the way he was acting.

"You're still under my roof, so I can still interfere in your life" Mr."Rodrigues said this time."

Miguel went up the stairs fuming, we continued talking on the couch and soon the maid came to call us for dinner, we sat at the table and started eating, soon Miguel and Katarina appeared.

"We're leaving now, and don't worry, we'll eat out" said Miguel, shaking the hand of his girlfriend or fiancee, I don't know.

They left and we finished eating, I went up to my room, turned on the TV and stayed watching series until my mother appeared with a little girl in her arms.

"Are you alright, son?" she asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm fine" I said, answering her question.

"Oh, this is little Clarice, she's the girl I take care of" the girl immediately looked at me with those beautiful little eyes.

"Hi, Uncle, you are very handsome" she said excitedly.

"Thank you, little one" I squeezed her cheeks, leaving them red.

"Don't stay up too late" she said, closing the door.

I lay back down on the bed and kept watching.

LATER THAT SAME NIGHT

I was sleeping and ended up waking up to someone in the next room making noise, soon the people next door started talking and I ended up hearing everything.

"Did you see, honey, that son of the maid is so strange" said the person I imagined to be Katarina.

"I don't even know why my father lets these kinds of people come here, and did you see the kind of clothes he was wearing?" Miguel said.

They were talking about me and there was nothing I could do but listen.

"Oh, those rags he calls clothes should be changed, ripped up, and thrown in the trash" she said, probably pacing Miguel's room.

"Let's do this, we're going to humiliate that bastard until he wants to leave on his own" said Katarina.

"Let's do it, I don't want that kind of people hanging around here" Miguel said, probably changing clothes.

I was totally screwed now, I would have to endure humiliation from Katarina and Miguel, but they will learn how many sticks it takes to make a canoe, it was time, I was tired of playing the nice guy and having people walk all over me, now I'm going to show them who I really am.

THE NEXT DAY

I woke up early, brushed my teeth in the bathroom, went down the stairs and sat down at the table with the Rodrigues couple who were already awake, said good morning to everyone and started to eat, soon Miguel appeared with Katarina.

"Good morning, dear family" said Miguel, all smiles.

Everyone answered good morning and sat down at the table, Miguel didn't stop staring at me for a second, and it was making me uncomfortable but at the same time I was kind of liking it.

"So, Lucas, is it?" "said Miguel, asking my name."

I nodded my head yes.

"So, don't you want to go for a walk with me, get some ice cream maybe?" he said, pretending to think about it.

"No, thank you, I have some things to take care of" I said without looking at his face.

"Lucas, it will be good for you to go for a walk and get out of that room a little" my mom said, holding little Clarice.

"Okay, okay, I'll just go to my room and change" I got up from the table and went up to my room.

I changed my clothes and went down to find Miguel sitting on the couch, we got into his car and headed towards a little square nearby.
