Viviane
I spoke rudely and at the same time, I regretted my words. He was there supporting me and I hurt him like that. I could not discount the frustration and hurt of someone who always helped me and stood by my side against everything and everyone.
"Sorry, sorry! Please forgive me... you didn't deserve to hear something like that, let alone come from me... " I spoke hurriedly.
I hugged him tightly and then pulled away, trying to wipe my face. Trying to hold back the tears that kept coming down. I was sensitive due to pregnancy, I knew that.
"You might not understand, Vivi. Or even if you think it's an excuse not to come out, but I haven't yet found it necessary to show the world my choices for a fuck. It only depends on the chemistry of the moment, not the sex to which the person "belongs." "
" I don't understand " I looked at him confused. I didn't know where he wanted to go.
"Vivi, I like men. But I also like women. So why do I have to explain this to people? Until the day I fell in love with Jack, and then I would go on to face everything and everyone to be with him. But you know what was at stake and in the end, he... " He sighed, extremely sad, before continuing. " ... it didn't stay with me. "
"So, would you tell everyone about you? Had Jack's ex-wife not been pregnant? "
"I intended to do that, but now it doesn't make sense to me anymore. I don't need to give explanations of my sex life to anyone. Jack and I are no longer together and I see no reason to expose my life in this way. The moment I fall in love and wish to have a stable relationship with someone, regardless of gender or the social class to which they belong, I will assume my feelings for everyone. No matter what they think. Of course, I love my parents, but life is mine and I make my own choices. "
I analyzed João Pedro's words and he was so different from his brother... The tears returned to my eyes and he continued.
"For you, I am also able to face everyone. I'm not going to leave you alone in this situation, Vivi. "
"I'm not getting it... What do you mean by facing everyone for me? "
"I'm saying I'm going to take on you and the child you're waiting for. My brother doesn't deserve the gift that life has prepared for him and neither will you go through all this alone, that's what I'm saying. Let's get married and everything is settled. "
I looked at him in surprise and was utterly speechless. What João Pedro was proposing was something very serious. It would be lying to everyone involved and I couldn't handle it.
" It's not solved at all!" I said as soon as I could make some sound. "You can only be joking... "
"I would never play with something so serious, Vivi. Think carefully and you will conclude that this is the best solution for everyone. Your parents will accept me very well as their son-in-law and my parents are already waiting for something like this from us... "
"I'm so confused by all this! I don't know what to think... "
"Do just that... Think! But think carefully and weigh all the pros and cons and you will see that we will not be doing any harm in taking care that this child that will be born has a father who wants him and who will love him. We can already see, from what we know of my brother, that the most we can expect from him is that he wants to keep his pregnancy a secret and hide it from everyone for as long as possible. "
"I think he'd go even further. "
João Pedro looked at me in horror and I told him about the solution pointed out by Felipe, when I told him about Julia's situation. He was incredulous at his brother's lack of feelings. "Vivi, let's keep this secret, and let's move on, take care of this baby you're expecting, and give all the love in the world. I'll help you with everything. Let's stay together, as we've always been.
"I can't disrupt your life like that, João Pedro! "
"Don't talk like that, Vivi. You won't "mess up my life" " Made quotation marks in the sentence, repeating what I had said. " We're in this together and we're going to keep going. "
"How can we get married? You're wondering why Jack came back with his wife and left. But what if you fall in love with someone else? What if Jack comes back?
"Let's think about the now, about facts like your pregnancy and not about possibilities. How will you face your parents? Tell me. "
"I've thought about it and if they don't accept my pregnancy, I'll leave for my aunt's house. She'll accept me, I'm sure. "
"And your studies, how are they, Vivi? Are you already so close to completing your degree, and will you drop out that way? "
"I don't know! I have to think. Give me a break, okay? "
Viviane
"How so, are you going to get married?" João Felipe practically shouted, causing everyone to look at each other embarrassingly.
"Exactly what you heard. Vivi and I decided to get married and I can't understand the reason for so much surprise coming from you, who always made insinuations about our friendship" João Pedro spoke in a cold and restrained way.
While I felt my whole body shake and didn't even know where to put my hand, I was stirring, putting it under the table and on top of my legs, and then withdrawing and putting it on the table.
"You can't just come here and say you're going to marry the servants' daughter and wait for us to accept that, João Pedro! It's complete and utter nonsense," he insisted.
I didn't expect anything different from him. I was not at all surprised by the way he reacted and the way he exposed what he thought of me and my union with his brother, after all, Felipe's appearances always came first.
"João Felipe, I believe that if they decide to unite, even before completing their studies, it is because they like it and do not want to wait any longer. I don't understand all this commotion of yours. "
