On Sunday that will have the match between Happiness Slum versus Vila Velha, Melissa decides to bring up the subject of the biography with Josias while they have breakfast in the kitchen.
"If your mom catches us eating breakfast here in the kitchen, she'll say Flavia influenced us." Melissa makes jokes while chewing bread with cranberry jam.
"And when will Flavia return?" Josias asks without laughing.
"After the game, probably tomorrow," Melissa replies nonchalantly.
"You better call to make sure." Josias decides dryly.
"And have you decided if you're going to accept being biographed?" Melissa asks leaning on her husband's shoulder.
Josias remains silent. In the time he's thought about it, he's found an obstacle, but he doesn't want to argue with Melissa.
Then he replies, "Not yet. I'm nervous and embarrassed, baby."
"Darling, don't you remember that Everaldo promised you that your life would be wonderful?" Melissa lovingly tri
Flávia doesn't know if she's ashamed of Uélton almost asking her to marry him without actually knowing him or of the mother who slapped him in public.Adolfo clears his throat: "Guys, let's take it easy."Uélton, however, is smiling with his hand on his burning cheek: "Nice to meet you, ma'am! I'm Uélton Freire, best friend of William Campos's brother-in-law, our champion of Lagoon City! Besides seeing him rock the field today, I am I came to make love to your daughter!"Another slap by Mirtes, given with relish. She cackles, "Get me away from my daughter, you pervert! My daughter will never have sex with a man!""Mom!" Flavia explodes with rage. Why is everyone talking and making decisions for her? They're all behaving like she wasn't there.Adolfo is annoyed by this situation. "OK, I'm going to go in and have fun; you guys beat up each other and talk immorality here in this blazing sun!"Adolfo turns on his heel
Flávia's legs are wobbly and her body is hot when William emerges from the pool, unaware that he is rocking the hearts of all the women present at the party.Uélton doesn't give a damn about the sculptural bodies of other men and pulls the chair closer to Flávia, the two almost becoming one by symbiosis.And it is precisely at their table that William heads. He pulls out another chair and sits down, still splashing. "Are you enjoying the party?""Wonderful..." Flávia answers mesmerized with her cousin's body."Why am I surprised you would give us the victory, Will?" Uélton jokes, "You always help us.""Don't talk like that, buddy. Clay also scored a goal. I don't like the idea of carrying everybody on my back, we're a team."Flavia melts. The cousin, besides being hot, is humble! "Congratulations, Cousin Will.""And you, cousin Flávia, how did you meet Uélton?""We were mating
William is uncomfortable when he hears his girlfriend curse Flavia for no apparent reason. "Honey, why do you think Flavia is a shameless bastard?""I don't know. To me, all the women I don't like are bitches." Stacy responds as if she were Uélton's sister."Hey, and where is that sorority?" William asks puzzled."For anyone who says he loves me, he's defending his cousin too much." Stacy is bitter about everything she has read.In fact, Stacy is suspecting that William was one of the players who committed ignominy in the hotel's outdoor pool area."Anyway, I can guarantee that Flavia didn't participate in the slutty. She was at her table sipping champagne.""That's it, she drank too much champagne and lost her virginity, if she was still…" Stacy scoffs mercilessly."This way I'll hang up, the conversation is so boring! I thought you called to say you love me.""Yes, you are blind concerning your cousin. When you
"Uélton, sorry for interrupting your sleep." William starts to say, a little embarrassed."Yes, my sacred sleep of beauty." Uélton jokes and yawns, "And please don't come up with the classic 'you'll have to sleep until the year 2000'. I can't be that ugly.""Okay, good to hear your self-esteem. Now, by any chance, did you know if Flavia tried to come home? My uncle came here earlier worried about her.""The father is always worried about his little princess." Uélton jokes, "Why didn't you say she stayed with her husband?""My cousin is not married." William frowns."Now she will be!"William was not an idiot. The fact that Uélton attends him without clothes, only with the bed blanket wrapped around his waist, indicates that he and Flávia slept together, both for the first time.***The landline phone on Josias's desk rings. Ernesto enters and answers him. "Silva Constructions, Office of Josias
Dora is putting some changes of clothes into a leather suitcase for Josias to travel to the capital soon.Melissa is distressed while Elisa is by her side to give her moral support. "Remember, Melissa: a lady never shows she's freaking out in public.""Do you think we should tell Isabel Freire, dear?" Melissa asks with tearful eyes.Josias wears a brown suit, all-powerful and serious. "I don't know. The poor lady may have serious grief. We don't want her to die like Seu Teodoro.""Ah, but these children of today, so rebellious!" Dora laments as she zips up, "There, dear son-in-law. Have a safe trip."Ernesto enters the master suite. "I've already booked at the same hotel where the tragedy happened, sir.""OK, I hope Uélton hasn't run away back here," Josias growls.He soothes his face just to say goodbye to his dear wife. "After that, my biography went down the drain."***Elza and Vernon talk at Evandro's cafeter
William takes a deep breath and tells what he knows about yesterday's clowning: "Well, as you know, we won 2-0. I hope the Vila Velha team doesn't have any resentments. As we're rocking the Capixaba Championship, we're back here with the determination to celebrate in the pool area. I don't even know where those girls came from!"Josias nods. It's always like that: when the party is with the free invitation, anyone will show up.William continues: "So, we started to celebrate our victory, we swam in the pool, had a delicious barbecue, and drank very expensive champagne. Flávia wasted her glass throwing it in Uélton's face, but he wouldn't let go of her like a tick.""Weirdly, Flávia claims she doesn't want anything to do with him, and moments later, the two appear mating worse than dogs in heat. Well, this time it happened." Josias laments sitting up in bed."I was satisfied and went upstairs to sleep. I know the party continued. The n
Hours later, Adolfo and Mirtes are completely dismayed by the outcome of the party at the hotel. Their daughter was used as a disposable handkerchief!Mirtes dreamed that her daughter would forever be a spinster, bitter as she was, so the two would have something in common. If Flávia were to marry Uélton and be a happy and fulfilled woman, she would never forgive her daughter for that.That's why she takes advantage of Flávia's emotional breakdown to crush the little self-esteem that remains in her daughter: "Now let's go to the police, this bastard raped you!""No, mom, he actually saved me from one of the players who was going to take me right there in the pool." Flavia at least admits that."Nothing like that! Let's go to the police station to lie that it was the big-eared one! Just so you can get revenge on Melissa and Dora!""I wish it was Will, Mom!" Flavia walks in circles in her room, "I wanted Will to get me pregnant,
Weeks later, the wedding of Uélton and Flávia was set to take place even against Mirtes's wishes."Adolfo, you can't be serious!" Mirtes snapped one day when he was trying to read the wanted-ads in the living room, "My daughter won't make the same mistakes as me!"Adolfo leaves the newspaper in his lap and settles himself in his armchair, "And what mistakes did you make?""Marry you! My daughter doesn't deserve to suffer in the clutches of a man. She's better than all that!""But Flavia won't marry me." He smiles wryly, "She's going to marry the guy she's decided to sleep with and have her first time with. And don't say our daughter doesn't want to live with a man, as she admitted she went to that hotel party willing to find one guy."Flávia only omitted that she wanted to sleep with her own cousin....Josias returned home and told the whole situation to a devastated Melissa. She is at least relieved to learn tha
