My feet are hurting and my legs are shaking, I borrowed João, my brother's car to go to the hospital, after receiving a message from Eloíse, my best friend, saying that her baby was going to be born. João arrived there accompanied by Larrisa, his girlfriend, in her car, as soon as our niece was born, who by the way is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen in my life, visiting hours ended and only Julian could stay.

João went back to where he had come from, and since I am the lady of luck, not to say the opposite, I have just run out of gas halfway through for the simple reason that I forgot to fill up the car when I left home . Therefore, with a gallon in hand, I walk for almost twenty minutes in search of a gas station. When I'm already tired, almost stopping without the strength to walk, I see a lit place, it's already night, that's why the big highlight, I'm so tired that for a moment I think it's a mirage.

With the supposed mirage of a gas station, I hurry my steps, my heels are already torturing my feet, but it's much better to feel a little more pain now than to be on the street at the mercy of anything. I take a closer look and yes, it's a station, thank goodness!

"Goodnight!" I exclaim with panting and tired breath to a man in the uniform of the place.

"Good evening ma'am, how may I help you?" The short, middle-aged man asks me with a smile on his face.

"My car ran out of gas a few miles from here, fill that gallon for me please." I said looking around looking for a water fountain. "Is there a water fountain here?" I ask when I don't see anything.

"Yes, ma'am." He answers and points to a little shop at the back of the gas station.

"Thank you sir, and by the way, I'm miss." I say and return a smile.

As he fills my gallon, I walk over to the water cooler, I'm about to fall to the floor, my feet are hurting so bad! But I need to be firm, tomorrow I will sleep until the next bedtime, after that I will go to a foot spa, take care of these mistreated people here.

I press the little button for the water to come out and then I enjoy the cold water on my parched throat. I never thought that water was so delicious, even though it didn't taste like anything, right now it's the eighth wonder of the world for me. After a few minutes of nonstop drinking water, I feel my stomach rumbling, thank God I'm in front of a convenience store, I go in and buy some snacks to eat, pepper Doritos and a citrus fruit juice.

After paying the girl at the cashier, with my bag in hand, I leave the shop, I find the gentleman who answered me and he hands me the gallon with gasoline, I give him the money and he goes somewhere saying he will get the change . I wait, scared of course, the avenue is empty and there's only me, the girl in the shop and this apparently nice gentleman. Suddenly I feel a strange shiver down my spine, I look up at the sky and I start to shiver from the cold.

But maybe it wasn't just the wind, to my terrible surprise, when I look at the entrance to the station, there comes a car, there sir, I could never mistake that car, shit, that black Honda Civic, Agnelo!

For God's sake Olivia! That was four months ago, you should have forgotten!

But it was so good, it was so delicious...

Shut up!

In the middle of my internal fight, the gas station gentleman catches my attention, he has a brief smile on his face, extending his hand to me he hands me the change for my money. At this point in the championship I already have all my internal organs trembling, on the outside my hands are sweating and my legs think about faltering again.

It was just a goddamn fuck in a car, after that she promised never to do it again, so please just shut up!

I think looking at my lower part that just remembering that damned footprint, it keeps pulsating inside my panties.

As soon as I take the money, I quickly turn my face away so he doesn't see me, from the corner of my eye I watch as he gets out of the car, all steadfast in his pose of superiority and arrogance, he is so sure of himself, his smart outfit shows how he should lead a sophisticated life, something that doesn't fill my eyes, I live the same way, however I'm not arrogant. He is so handsome, so tall, strong and good...

I try to hurry my steps and get out of there as quickly as possible, besides being walking alone in the middle of the night, I can't risk being sluggish around. The car is a long way away and just thinking about how far I'll have to walk makes me want to scream in frustration. When I'm crossing the street, I hear the deep and sensual voice calling my name. Oh no!

"Olivia?" He calls and it's like all my muscles stop moving, I foolishly turn around immediately. "I knew I knew this person from somewhere." He says with a sly look.

"Oh hi!" I speak introvert. Come on Olivia, you were never shy.

"What are you doing alone here?" He asks, frowning.

"I was returning from the maternity ward, I went to visit Eloíse and my car ran out of gas." I explain without having to raise my voice since Agnelo is already standing in front of me.

"How far?" He asks looking around.

"Right here." I lie with my heart racing in my chest, I'm scared to death that he might hear. "Listen... I have to go, my day has been too complicated for today. I'm sorry." I say turning around, I can't stand being this close, it's been a while, but I feel something I can't fake being this close.

"It's very dangerous for you alone in these deserted streets, have you seen what time it is?" He asks in a firm voice.

"Yes, but it's not my fault that my car ran out of gas in the middle of the night and on a deserted avenue!" I defend myself. It was actually my fault, I forgot to fill up on fuel on the way out.

"Why didn't you fill up earlier? Don't you know that this region is dangerous? Give me that gallon, it must be heavy." He orders in a hard voice.

"No, I don't know for the simple fact that I've never stopped here, and there's no need, let me take it, it's close by and I'm in a hurry." I speak stressed.

Who does Agnelo think he is to show up after four months, out of nowhere and want to help me like that? And on top of that wanting to teach me lessons.

"Stop being stubborn! I'll take it to you and that's final, where's the car?" Asks once again taking the gallon from my hands, I confess I feel a great relief because it was heavy indeed.

"I just don't argue with you right now because I'm too tired for that. Since you want to help me, then let's go and get ready to walk because the car isn't close like I said." I reveal it without caring about anything, I feel my body so tired that I just want to sleep.

"Then wait here, I'll finish filling up my car and then we'll head over there." Without waiting for a response from me, the strong man in front of me turns and runs across the street.

I'm standing here, suddenly feeling colder than before, where has this man been during the four months I haven't heard from him? The only thing I know now is that he messed with me, it wasn't supposed to be like that, but I felt something different as soon as I laid eyes on his car entering that station, but to my defeat, he doesn't seem to remember our sex. In fact, I think he just remembered me as a friend of his friend's wife.

I'm startled by the horn of his car bringing me back.

"Goes into!" Ordered. I rolled my eyes and scowled into the car.

Oh no, everything that happened in here has surfaced, for me that day will be unforgettable, I don't care if he doesn't remember anymore, I remember because it was good for me and I was the one who looked for it. I suddenly feel my body getting warm, totally different from the cold outside, that's just remembering the day he caught me here.

"Can you turn on the air?" I ask uneasily in the seat, I'm sitting in the passenger seat, right where it happened.

"What for if it's cold?" He asks and starts the car.

"I'm hot, call me please?" I ask in an ironic tone.

"Right then." Answer and turn on the air, I feel a little better, but not quite. "Do you remember the last time you were in that car?" I choke on my own saliva.

Shit, he remembers!
