The next day, Josias wakes up, stretching in bed, covered by the thin sheet from the waist down. He looks at Uélton's brother's jeans and T-shirt and gives a smile that says “I'm smiling so I don't cry”. Josias hopes that Uélton has not thrown his clothes away; otherwise he will have to work on the construction site with his brother's clothes!
After putting on his clothes and going down to brush his teeth, Josias goes to breakfast in Teodoro's kitchen. He's just finished straining the coffee. Teodoro gets distracted by Josias's clothes and misses the strainer, leaving coffee spilling on the table.
“Oops!” Teodoro realizes the error and returns to concentrate. “Good morning, son! How was the party? They let you borrow their clothes.”
“I was the one who left mine at Uélton's. I hope he didn't throw it out of anger.”
Teodoro finishes straining the coffee and closes the thermos. He takes it

Uélton puts both hands on Josias's wrist, wanting to get away from him. Josias still presses his friend's body against the wall without plastering it, with a force he thought he didn't have.“Let go of me, man, this wall is scratching my back,” Uélton asks.“Answer my question, man.” Josias is tough and domineering.“No, I didn't want to make you look bad.” Uélton is practically whining, “I spoke without thinking. If Pamela was making a conspiracy to get you away from Melissa, I'm not part of this. Let me go, man; I thought we were friends.”Josias lets go of Uélton's shoulder and he relieves himself. He was already thinking he was going to get punched by Josias.“Thanks, buddy. And I'm sorry for the fail.”Romualdo appears after listening to the last lines. “Guys, good morning. Is everything okay here?”“It's okay, Seu Romualdo.&
Building My Life Chapter 26 More Purchases and Visions
Josias returns to Teodoro's building very satisfied with the first payment. It wasn't much, but it was enough for a few purchases that he intended to do today.When he told Teodoro, the landlord was thrilled with the younger man. “Now, set sail for the Downtown and buy some clothes, my boy. I don't know how you haven't caught the flu yet.”Josias believed that the fact that he was shirtless only strengthened his resistance to the cold. It was all a matter of habit, even the fact that he slept naked.So, when he was in Downtown, he thought twice about whether he bought or not some underwear. He decided to buy it because you never know. Better not to scandalize people unnecessarily.Josias bought a simpler T-shirt and shorts to stay at home (or in the bedroom) so he wouldn't have to wear sweatpants; this was “promoted” to the status of “just to work”. The black shirt and jeans donated by Uélton's mother will be use
Building My Life Chapter 27 Clarifying Misunderstood
Josias gets into Teodoro's building smiling. The landlord is at the counter listening to news of the afternoon, but when he sees the happy boy he decides to ask, “Is this happiness because of shopping?”“No.” Josias places the bags on the counter. While Teodoro checks out the purchases, he replies, “Happiness for getting it right with Melissa.”“I said she chose you. Stop worrying.” Teodoro takes the underwear package out of one of the plastic bags, “Ah, now yes!”Josias chuckles shaking his head, “Yeah; and now I'm going to have to wash them constantly so they don't get dirty.”“I will teach you how to use one of the washing machines.” Teodoro puts the package in the bag and gives it back to Josias.“Do you believe that I almost met Everaldo again?” Josias changes the subject, “Apparently he is a human being; he missed the bus like anybody else.&r
Building My Life Chapter 28 Explanation
At night, Teodoro is listening to the news on the radio when Melissa hesitantly enters, looking everywhere. Teodoro sees the girl and makes a friendly gesture for her to enter.“Can I help you with something, young lady?”“Good evening!” She approaches the counter, “Is here where a boy named Josias lives?”Teodoro raises an eyebrow. Girl looking for Josias? It can only be the one he has been talking about and observing.“There's a nice guy named Josias who is working on a construction site as a bricklayer assistant. Is he really?”“It's him,” Melissa smiles, “Is he in?”“Of course he is.” Teodoro replies with a wry smile, “He doesn't have much to do outside of work. I just don't know if it would be prudent to invite you up.”Melissa immediately has red cheeks; she stares at the floor. “I didn't want to meet him in this connotation, si
Building My Life Chapter 29 Getting Tanned
Melissa stays for a few seconds trying to remember who Fabrício was. He is probably one of the boys from Saint Gabriel, introduced by Pamela. The mere memory of him filled Melissa with contempt; she purses her lips and shakes her head.“Ah, I'll call him tomorrow, now I want to go to my room and read something.”“The phone is noted in the notebook. Good night, daughter.”Melissa's father kisses her father goodnight on the forehead, pleased to see that she is not one of those desperate for boys.The next day, Josias wakes up and stretches, still sleeping naked. As an excuse, Josias now thinks that the underwear he bought is too new to be used “for nothing” and it was too hot at night. But, now he decides to wear one to go down and work.Upon entering the bathroom with the same sweatpants and shirtless, Josias is faced with Jeremiah bathing. The door was closed. When Josias closes it again, he is faced with
Building My Life Chapter 30 May I Have Your Phone Number?
Josias furiously enters his room, annoyed by Jeremiah's provocations. Is it really serious that the comrade will be eternally wretched because of that discussion? After taking a deep breath and reflecting for a while, Josias decides not to take Jeremiah's mockery seriously, for the matter does not extend.“Life goes on and we argue about something that has already been resolved.”After the resolution, Josias takes the towel, shorts, and other clean underwear and goes down the stairs to take a shower. Upon entering the bathroom, he rejoices to see that there was no one and closes the door.The first water drops of the shower fall on Josias's skin like daggers. Even though the water is cold, Josias has a start. Today's sun did not do to his body any good. After the bath was over, the towel scratched his skin even more.Back in the room, with all his body on fire, Josias used this as another excuse to sleep naked. The less sheet touching his body
Building My Life Chapter 31 Someone Is Dissatisfied With This Story
Josias and Melissa enter the building. At the reception, Teodoro is not there, but the radio is on, air playing Blondie's song “Call Me”.“My mom loved the movie, 'The American Gigolo'.” Melissa says, “Have you seen it yet?”“I don't think there was time. The television must now have been stolen.” Josias speaks with a certain sadness.Melissa breaks the smile and regrets the question. She still thinks that Josias is a normal guy, with a normal life. She forgets that Josias is at missing with many belongings. If he is still buying clothes and personal items, it stands to reason that Josias is not going to have just a television.“Sorry, Josias, I didn't mean to upset you. I'm a fool.”“Nothing like that, Melissa,” He turns to her conscientiously, “I understand you. You never met anyone who had to run away with the clothes on his back to avoid being murdered.”
Building My Life Chapter 32 Hose Bath to Refresh
Pamela looks both ways, fearing that someone is seeing them, and opens the door, pushing Fabrício inside as if he was her lover.“What are you doing here?” She asks in a fearful tone, “Aren't you afraid of being mugged?”“I'm afraid of losing that cute friend of yours.” He responds with a malicious smile.Pamela rolls her eyes. She gestures inviting Fabrício to sit on the sofa. Fabrício sits down and feels the smell of sour beer on the leather of the sofa, spilled by drunks at the party, and that Pamela's mother did not know how to clean properly.“The couch stinks.” He complains.“This story stinks. What do I have to do with your failure to win Melissa over?”“Damn!” Fabrício gives a nervous laugh, “'Failure' as if the game is over? Is Melissa with another man?”“No, not yet. For now, it's just friendship.” The
