NEW HOUSEClara didn't know how her friends managed to stay quiet because when she woke up many hours later, the room was crowded and they were being silent so as not to disturb her."You crazy woman!" Megan, upon seeing that she had woken up, hugged her and cursed at her at the same time. "How could you go there alone? You could have died!""Leave her alone, Megan!" Dercy said, approaching the bed and kissing Clara's forehead. Dalia and Linda were not there, and with a weak voice, Clara asked about them."They went to take care of two moves," it was Jânio who answered her. And before she asked which moves, he explained. "Yours and hers. Dalia is moving to Paradise. Isn't it fantastic?""You can trust them, Clara," Hanna said. "Linda and Dalia need something to occupy their minds. And you, when you get out of here, we'll help you too, my love."There was so much love and attention that Clara felt like crying and her throat tightened with the pre-cry pain, her throat hurt for anything,
INNOCENT BOYWhen she woke up the next morning, that was the first thing she remembered. The kiss she had given him. Grabbing the pillow next to her, she covered her face. "Damn it, why did I do that?!" She scolded herself for verbally attacking him for no reason, damn it, she was really drunk! But mostly for kissing him.Unconsciously, she placed a finger on her lips and smiled. Okay, she had liked kissing him, she couldn't lie to herself, right? He didn't respond, he just stood there, maybe even with his eyes open when she put her lips on his, unresponsive. Of course, she had barged into his house like a crazy person, accused him, insulted him, and kissed him! How did she expect him to react? He must have thought she was bipolar, at the very least! He had sent her a message.Grabbing her phone, she reread the message with her heart racing. Yes, he had really sent her a message."What the hell is this, the door is locked?" Dercy knocked on the door of the living room. "It's locked, g
NEW STRANDSLara arrived at Clara's house feeling happy and motivated to start her transition."Your house is so beautiful, Clara, ours," she looked around, enchanted."Thank you, and thank you also for washing everything, I can imagine how dusty it was, I know it helped a lot.""I had so much fun here, Megan, Dalia, and Linda are fun, and we had a lot of fun getting everything ready for you. I'm so glad you liked it and that you're going to stay here."Clara was in one of the rooms were Megan and the girls had placed their hairdresser's belongings. The cabinets in the room, which were distributed fluidly, were perfect for her to store her things. Most of the things were previously kept in Megan's house, as she didn't have a place to keep them in her studio apartment, it would be much more practical now. Opening one of the cabinets, she found her cutting scissors, aprons, and jars and more jars of creams of all kinds."I'm going to buy a hairdressing chair soon, it will help take care
DEPENDENCELara couldn't take her eyes off the mirror. With one hand covering her mouth, tears of emotion streamed down her face. The young woman's large eyes were watery, making for a beautiful photo."Clara, why didn't I do this earlier?" Lara asked, still gazing at herself in the mirror. Clara had shaved one side of her head and the nape of her neck, leaving the rest of her hair to fall to one side, revealing the skin where it had been shaved. "I've suffered for years, trying to straighten and touch up my roots, and yet, look how beautiful it is now!""Everything has its time, Lara. Now was the right time. And I'll warn you, on the first day, clients usually get excited too, some of them. But as the days go by, some of them change their minds and straighten their hair again, so if you want to, you can go back to straightening it without any problem, okay?""Okay, but I don't think I'll straighten it again. I've wanted to go back to natural hair for a long time."Lara got up from th
LIPELipe's house was completely different from the others in the condominium. As a carpenter, he had made all his furniture to measure. It was charming and Lara's favourite house to clean. The furniture was unique, not only in style but also in size, which was carefully thought out to fit each room. Lara used to tell her friend that his house seemed to be dressed with furniture, as he had fitted everything uniformly and it was all very exclusive. It took Lipe more than two years to finish furnishing the whole house, as he would say that new furniture models and raw materials would come out every day, making his decision difficult and he was almost always modifying or exchanging some piece of furniture since he manufactured them himself.Even the backyard, he had turned into his carpentry workshop. He used to work there when he was a freelancer, but now the machines were no longer there. Lipe was always called by his friends to modify or create some furniture in the condominium and he
SANDRODahlia surprised them, Lara and Lipe, as she arrived carrying bags. Lara was washing dishes in the kitchen when the woman arrived in her pink suit and she looked so beautiful in it." I brought presents for everyone!" Dahlia shouted as she entered Lipe's living room.The guy and the girl got caught up in her excitement."Dahlia, you crazy woman, you shouldn't be spending money on us," Lara forgot about the wet and soapy kitchen and dove into the bags, even though she said that Dahlia shouldn't have spent any money. She grabbed a paper bag with her name written in pillot pen and found a cute purple top. "My God, it's so beautiful!""And earrings! I brought you wonderful earrings that match your new hair!"Lara had already sent photos and videos of her new look to the group and received dozens of congratulations.Lipe received a simply marvellous denim jumpsuit and rushed to the bathroom to try it on. Dahlia was sending messages to the condo group ever since they added her, she w
THREE FRIENDS SLEEPING ON THE FLOORDalia was excited to share the news with Clara. She went to her new house and her current best friends, Linda and Sandro, were there in great excitement. Linda was looking for a place to put the flowers she had picked around the condominium, and, still unaccustomed to working in her own clothes, no longer in uniform, she did not take off the apron that Dalia had given her."I can't wait to have furniture in this house, Sandro. Everything is so empty," Linda commented to the man. Sandro helped her improvise a vase with a bucket, as the woman did not want to waste fresh and fragrant flowers, even though there were many scattered around the condominium."But I think today we will bring at least beds," Sandro agreed. The two were in the backyard of the house chosen by Dalia, and it was one of the largest there."Aren't you guys liking sleeping on mattresses on the floor?" Dalia surprised them. "I'm loving it, guys. The last time I slept like this was wh
DESTROY TO REBUILDThe rest of the week was spent with everyone helping Dália, Sandro, and Linda with the organisation of their new home, each one on their own schedule. Clara was a great help, as she had taken not only one but two weeks off from work. She had called the salon and asked one of the girls to take over for her during these fifteen days, and had put her hands to work at Dália's house, since her own was already perfect thanks to Dália and her friends. Although Clara was not there when her house was set up, she was fully satisfied with how they had arranged everything so well. She spent her days helping Dália and wandering around the condominium - this was her place now, and she already felt officially part of the group. One day, as she arrived at Dália's house, she was surprised to see a truck parked in front of the garage, and it was not a moving truck, but rather a construction truck or something similar, judging by the construction and finishing logo painted on the larg
