Three Days with Him: Three Days, #1

By Divino B'Atista and Malu P. Magalhães

Tired of suffering disappointments and dealing with the "come and go" of the people in her life, Manu, who is a librarian and has Pam and Kelly as best friends, decides to end her love life. And everything went according to plan, except when she met Rafa on the internet.
Rafa is a novice writer, who was discovered on Wattpad by a medium-sized publisher and his career is at a remarkable point.
A Facebook reading group, of which the two were a part, was enough to unite and transform this friendship into something even ... bigger?
At least that's how Manu and Rafa decided to get to know each other when there was a great opportunity to spend three days together.
What does it take to rekindle your flame of love?

Prologue

"Eu ainda estou aqui

Perdido em mil versões

Irreais de mim

Estou aqui por trás de todo o caos

Em que a vida se fez"

Sandy – Me Espera (feat. Tiago Iorc)

––––––––

I don't know what's wrong with me. As far as I know, I wasn't born with a disease, nor did I suffer an accident that made strange and unpleasant scars on my body.  However, I can't escape the thought that must be a defect in me.  Not only one, but several!

It can only be that... otherwise, how can I explain the fact that my relationships never work out? 

Why did my few boyfriends never truly fall in love with me, in the same way, I fell in love with them? Why, anyway, didn't my dating (if I can call what I lived by dating) last more than a few miserable weeks?

Maybe I should listen more to what Pam and Kelly tell me. Whether making fun of me or alerting me, I don't even know, the truth is that for some time now that they started telling me that something like "come in, stay as long as you want and, the main thing, mess around" is written on my forehead.

I confess I'm beginning to think they're right.

It can only be that!

Only something like this explains the ease with which people enter my life, make the biggest zone, and leave afterwards...

And all this unceremonious!

The difficult thing about this situation, however, is not dealing with this in and out of people. The tricky thing is to realize that all this mess happens only because I give the key, open the door, and still offer a cup of coffee.

But this will change!

I'm not kidding...

"You have a new message" Facebook notification window appears on my phone.

Rafael is online, and best of all, he wants to talk to me.

And now?

What do I say?

"Some nerve you have

To break up my lonely

And tell me you want me

How dare you march into my heart"

Alessia Cara – I'm Yours

When life brings you closer to people who have a gift of seeing beyond, it makes everything seem magical.

Supernatural.

In addition, even knowing that nothing escapes to the universe's naturalness, it is impossible to contain the astonishment when your truth, the one that you keep only to yourself, appears so clear and so obvious to the other's gaze.

This is exactly what happens to me when we are together, even if we are miles apart. Even without knowing me, he sees the whole of me.

He, who with his angel's voice enchanted my ears, without my realizing it, also read my soul and strengthened the certainty of my heart.

At least that's how I feel when we're together, even if it's just typing until midnight, as it was yesterday.

Rafael: 

Hey, Manu!

How are ya? 

Manoela: 

I'm OK!

What about you?

Rafael: 

I'm better now... tee-hee

What are ya doing at this hour?

Manoela:

Hmm...

I'm finishing reading ''Encontrada'' by Carina Rissi. Her books are so beautiful! I'm already dying to start ''Procura-se um Marido".

Have you ever read this book?

Rafael: 

I've already heard about.

I know her, if you want to know the truth.

I mean, I met Carina at the Bienal in Belo Horizonte. But, tell me something...

I...

Manoela:

Have you met Carina Rissi?

It can't be! I don't believe it!

You're lucky, huh?

I wish I had gone to the Bienal in São Paulo this year and met her too, so, at least, I could ask her for some advice on where to find Ian Clark... hahaha... Oops! I interrupted you...

Keep going... you...???

Rafael: 

So, Manu, it's just that during all this time typing with you, I noticed that something in me has completely, you know?

I feel happier, just to be able to chat with you now, and if it weren't for the fact that we live in different cities, I could...

Hmm...

How can I say...

Manoela:

Could you???
