Everything was supposed to be fine. I was dancing between success and happiness. My path was straight, with no major things to take away. All my things was going well, almost perfection, I swear, until I became the obsession of a boy named Maël, and my world became so crooked...

CROOKED: In love with my cousin's boyfriend CHAPTER 12
I managed to get some sleep. I was overwhelmed by how unprepared I felt to leave the relationship with Nikko. I wasn't one hundred per cent sure of his infidelity, and with a cooler head, I assured myself that he wouldn't cheat on me during that trip and even less in front of his family. Besides, the words he shared with Cata made me think that he was avoiding unnecessary trouble. But while thinking, I remembered that Maël and Belinda were co-workers and that Nikko came to the store (and according to Catalina) to bother them. I then remembered Aunt Chia's party, the boy Maël preventing me from getting up, his worried face... The next morning, I crept out of bed very early to look for Maël. The boy had a very good habit: getting up early. So I took advantage of the quiet hours to get to him and try to get information from him, but I didn't get to the kitchen when a divine smell of baked sweets and cut milk invaded me from the corridor of rooms. I was dragged by the chin, light and d

"Are you going to Braga this weekend?" I nodded at Nikko's question. I was sluggish that late morning, not wanting to get out of bed, just wanting to do little things with him until well after noon, struggling with the blessed song still stuck in my head. Fourteen days I had those infernal lyrics between my eyebrows. "I need you to stay." He planted a kiss on my mouth and headed for the bathroom. I sat on the bed, covering my nakedness with the sheets. "Oh, yeah? What for?" I asked. "A trip with the family came up. Would you like to travel with us?" "A trip? Like old times? Where are we going?" Nikko looked at me with a bored face. "To the same place as always, Delu." I rolled my eyes and smiled. I said yes, and in a few days, we were in a house in Arouca, a town in the northwest of the Aveiro District. A quiet town, with a modest flow of tourism but beautiful, simply beautiful. The house was one of the largest cabins in the "Casa de Camélia" hotel complex. It was not the fi

Every time I recall the vicissitudes of my destiny, I feel pressure, and my abilities slow down. It was so stupid! I didn't know how to handle living so close to Maël and I regret the thousand foolish things I thought of telling him, or the catastrophic scenarios I imagined with him, so sure I would come up with something good or to his liking.Something bad was happening to me, I was caught between the enormous desire to leave and the strange desire to stay and see everything. To see, to see, to see... to be seen too, to be seen by "him". I wanted to study him, to channel his way of living and being. He was already old; he was a man who looked older than he was, and I was nervous about his proximity, although I was always hiding that nonsense. I think that the enormous curiosity to know the source of his energy was what kept me with anxiety inside Nikko's new house. I had to go back to Braga and lock myself away, to get away completely, giving the best excuse of the year. But when

He denied it to me, of course, but I found out that he liked her. Nikko liked that woman a lot, and she liked him a lot. What a curse! So I decided to continue the relationship-focused only on sex and the company we sometimes gave each other. Why? Well, because a part of me prevented me from letting him go completely. I know it sounds pathetic, but at the time I didn't see it that way. Shortly after leaving the party, Pina contacted me that same night to tell me that those two had been behaving strangely, very close together and sharing secrets on other days before that. Her own eyes, according to her mouth, saw it all. Pina didn't have to tell me too much, she already knew. They were having an affair or had been, I was sure of that. Still, my eyes and those of Harry's young wife were not enough evidence to make a fuss anymore. Again, I let it go because, after all, I felt a little freer being with Nikko that way.September came, and Nikko (who from time to time traced joy and benev

I stared at her, hidden behind a bottle of cold beer. The suspicion that something was going on between that woman and my boyfriend even made me want to smoke.We were at another family party; this time, it was being held at Catalina's house and not in a living room. This was a celebration in style: Aunt Chia's birthday.Belinda, Catalina's friend and part-time employee was there, of course. She was the one I saw.An unhinged grimace furrows my face at the memory of her. A huge front yard, surrounded by pots hanging on the walls. At the end, a roof strategically covered the porch of the house. It was a structure similar to the home of my boyfriend's parents, with the difference that this space was located in the back of the house.After smoking, I sat a little away from the two of them, Nikko and Belinda, in chairs just behind theirs. They had been sharing a conversation for too long that, studying their body language, seemed to hold a halo of mystery that almost drove me crazy. Wha

I confirmed later that Maël's show of goodwill towards me was nothing more than a false pink cloak. Moreover, there was a rumour in the family that his girlfriend had broken up with him.I heard from Nikko's aunts that sweet Katty left him a week after his birthday because of some mistreatment the boy had done to her or cheating things young people; I didn't know the details. But I did learn that something serious had happened between them, and it was in those days that I saw in him something so different, one of his annoyances about life took a giant leap.Sitting next to cousin Harry and Nikko in an area of the house that I adored: a set of armchairs that my mother-in-law placed near the garden, I was reading a script that a friend sent me home via local mail.To each his own, until the boys started laughing at something they were watching together on Harry's laptop.I coughed a little to shut them up."Delu, if it bothers you so much that we're here, go read in the bedroom," my boy

On Tuesday, July 10, 2018, with my briefcase ready to go home, I heard a noise coming from the living room. I went out of Nikko's room and noticed the arrival of many young men, some with their girlfriends, all well-dressed with cans of Corales, Sagres and Super Bock under their arms.'What's going on out there?" I asked my boyfriend. "Shit, I forgot to inform you," Nikko said, putting his hands on his head in an exaggerated way.Then, he burst out laughing and I made my bored face. "Very funny. C'mon, tell me, what did you forget?" "Today is Maël's birthday and they're going to celebrate it here."I wrinkled my face. "And why here? Why not at his house?"He sighed and raised his body a little on the mattress of the bed. "Since his family is in Lisbon, Mom offered him the house for the celebration.""And why are they in Lisbon, isn't it their son's birthday? Shouldn't they be here with him, or he with them?""I don't know, Delu, you know my uncles live on the road. Dad told me a

After nine years together, things between Nikko and I had reached an awkward point. He was a man who loved his freedom and made arbitrary decisions without consulting anyone about what would do next. Therein lay our arguments. His father was a lawyer for a small firm in Viana and before his oldest son graduated, he managed to get him on the payroll. Work, occupation, and our schedules, plus the condition of living in different districts, made him accustomed to not including me in almost any of his plans. However, we were still dating, because the little time together was good. Nikko's cousin Catalina, who owned a shoe store in Castelo, would occasionally receive us there. She was one of the cousins I got along best with, we hit it off, and she even knew my friend Sandra, and we used to meet in Braga when Cata traveled. Two days after her son's birthday, Nikko and I went into her store with the idea of saying hello and seeing her new merchandise. I love shoes, and Cata was selling

(2018). I noticed the first hint of what happened two years later, at one of the children's gatherings organized by Nikko's family. I arrived at the beginning of June at a little party room that the Saravia grandparents had built for the family's enjoyment, and I noticed that Maël had arrived early to help with the setting up of the tables and tablecloths and all the preparations for that party. It was the fifth birthday of cousin Catalina's son. Wearing a simple and comfortable dress, I helped with the tasks. When everything was ready, I took advantage of the good Internet signal offered by the hall and sat at one of the first tables to check my emails and social networks while the guests arrived. There was Maël, and it didn't have to be like that, it was a children's party. Yes, I know, it was about his little cousin, but that was still unhinged. Or so I thought. Fuck, I didn't want to be near him. Maël was getting on my nerves! I looked at him out of the corner of my eye. God

CHAPTER 1
(February 01.2020.Braga, Portugal. Quinta da Mafalaia).Sandra thought I was a liar. Or maybe, on this strict occasion, everything I was telling her was a vile lie."You could say something," I said, after the silence that fell between us.Sitting under that leafy tree that I loved, the beautiful shade of the Quinta da Mafalaia restaurant, I observed her oval face of light and soft brown skin. She looked at me with astonishment and perhaps with something that reproached me."It would be good to have your opinion, Sandra, because I had sworn I wouldn't tell anyone about this," I told her. "Although, there're already people who know about it." I lowered my face a little embarrassed by that last piece of information.I saw her swallow thickly. The story was something that could happen to many people, but not to me. These things should not happen to a mere mortal like me, who used to feel whole in the face of life. Telling something like this was not easy, I knew it wasn't."Well," she...
