Chapter 6 RAY OF SUNSHINE (II)

I saw him blush and stared at him. I loved his shyness. I pushed the door open and walked into the room, unceremoniously lying down on his bed.

- 'How polite of you, sunshine,' he mocked.

- 'Don't call me that, asshole.

- Since when do you not like being called that anymore?

- 'Ever since Mom found you in the trash. - I started laughing.

- Yes, I know the story that she did charity, taking me out of the garbage can...". - He laughed and picked up a pillow, throwing it over me.

- You always believed my story.... And cried. - I sat on the bed, laughing at him.

- Because you were manipulative... And worthy of a best actress award, even as a child.

He put on a T-shirt and I pouted:

- "Why are you covering yourself, handsome? I'm just your sister...

- You're not my sister," he said seriously.

- How ironic... I spent years tormenting you that you were found in the garbage can.... When in fact, I was left there.

Theo sat down next to me and pulled my chin, making me face him:

- 'You weren't found in the garbage can and you know it. We've grown up, Maria Lua. And you are no longer a teenager to act like one.

- Me... I'm sorry...

- You've never been told about love in this family. And you've always been raised as a legitimate Casanova. Our parents could have lied all their lives that you were born from Babi's belly and you'd never doubt it, since you're her face.

- I must look like my father.... Since my mother was half red. - I removed his hand, which was still on my chin.

- No... You look like our mother and I look like our father. That's final.

- Heitor is better looking than you.

- How can you make me so angry?

I lay back on the bed and asked, while putting my arms under my head:

- What are you doing apart from studying and working? By the way, do you have a social life? Do you have sex? - I turned my face towards him, debauchedly.

- I'm doing a specialization. And working on a new product, which promises to be the best on the market. I'm going to blow up Giordano Cosmetics and destroy your future husband's company. I work overtime every day, after all, I own my own business. And when I get home, to de-stress, I have sex with my girlfriend.

- Do you have sex? What a term that does not excite.

- What do you do?

- I like a man who fucks.

- What's your problem, Mary Moon?

- I like to fuck. That's my problem, Theo.

He threw a blanket over me.

- 'I'm not cold,' I complained.

- 'I don't want to look at your panties.

- What's wrong with that? It's just panties... It would be worse if you looked at mine...'. - Theo covered my mouth immediately, his body almost on top of mine, making my heart almost stop when my eyes entered the depths of his.

Do you love her? I asked, without my voice coming out because my mouth was covered with his hand.

- What did you say? - he asked, withdrawing his hand.

- I said "it would be worse if you looked at my pussy" - I laughed, teasing him.

- Dirty mouth... That's what you are.

- I missed you... - I sat on the bed, looking at him.

Theo didn't say anything, which made me wonder if he missed me. I took a deep breath and said:

- I... I'm glad you came to my engagement.

- Dad was insistent.

- You came for him?

- Yes.

- Wouldn't you come if I asked?

- You didn't ask.

- I thought you wouldn't come at all.... You haven't come for so long!

- I had no intention of watching you make a commitment to Robin Giordano. But now it's gone...

- Why didn't you want to watch? - I still stared at him, unable to look away, as if hypnotized.

- 'Because he's my biggest opponent in business and he knows this very well. With so many men in Noriah North, or even in the world, why did you choose him?

- I chose him because Giordano's cosmetics are the best.

- You are worthless, sunshine.

- You... Do you intend to commit to your girlfriend in the future? Is she nice? What's her name? Why didn't you bring her to meet mom and dad? Do you think she will like me?

- Can't you ever ask one question at a time?

- You've been away for years. And when you came, you seemed to pick the days I was traveling.

- I intend to make a commitment to her in the future. I like Malica.

- Her name is Malica?

- Yes.

- Ugly, weird name.

- More than Mary Moon? - His lips curved into a debauched smile, which he rarely managed.

I slapped him hard on the chest, and he complained:

- You're strong, sunshine.

- You didn't see anything... What about testing my punch?

- No way. I've felt the weight of your arm a few times.

- You've always provoked me.

- I teased you? You've got to be kidding!

- Do you think she'll like me? Why didn't you introduce her to our parents? - I demanded the answer.

- She will like you... Because we're from the same family... So she kind of has to. - He laughed.

- 'Did you say you have an older sister? Or... Did you mention that we're not real siblings?

- Aren't we, Mary Moon? - He looked at me.

- You said we're not.

- Did I?

I lifted him off the pillow by his shirt, making him face me.

- 'You're going to tear my clothes,' he observed, worried.

- 'Why the fuck did you leave? - I begged for an answer.
