demetrius

I opened my eyes in a fright, as if my body was waking me up automatically because of the routine I created years ago. I looked for my cell phone and checked what time it was.

"Fuck, I'm late. — I exclaimed, getting up from the bed, angrily — That damn alarm clock isn't working! I reached for the small device and threw it at the wall.

I ran my hands over my face in exasperation, feeling my head throb. Still groggy from the amount of alcohol I'd drunk the night before, I headed for the bathroom. I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth and got dressed. I took my hat and went towards my brother's room.

“Frederic! I yelled, banging loudly on the door.

"Don't bother, Demetrius..." he stammered in a sleepy voice.

"You're late for class!" Get up, I don't want to be forced to speak twice. - ordered .

When I didn't hear any noise signaling me that he got up, I knocked again on the door, a little louder.

— What the fuck brother, I thought you weren't even coming home yesterday, you didn't go out drinking? Why didn't you find a woman there and sleep with her?

"Shut up and get ready to go."

"You need a new girlfriend to stop bugging me!" You were insufferable after that. Forget that woman, man. Go to another.

“Your parents died in that damned accident too, you asshole. — I grunted — And I've already forgotten her and I don't have time for this dating thing anymore, I have a lot to worry about and one of those is you, so you better get up because you know what happens when I lose my temper. I warned referring to the bucket of water I threw on him last week.

"Apparently you woke up on the wrong foot today." You seem more grumpy than usual. - Frederic said and finally opened the bedroom door.

- Excellent. If you want a ride, you'd better run because I'm already leaving, I'm late and I have to go into town to buy some things for Sr. Heitor .

“Fuck. I'm coming, relax a little.

I put kibble and changed the water for Bobby, my dog and I looked around but I couldn't find him to pet him before I left, he must have gone out to play in the backyard.

I left the house and went towards the truck, I turned on the radio and no music was playing, I liked it, I punched the steering wheel and turned off the damn stereo.

I've always been very explosive, but lately, I've been a little worse, I had to admit. I just couldn't control my anger, it coursed through my veins at all times and I did what I could not to send everyone to hell.

"Come on Frederic!" I shouted, pressing the horn repeatedly.

- I'm on my way! What the fuck, boring as fuck.

— Have you seen Bobby around ? I asked as he climbed into the passenger seat.

“No, I haven't seen your puppy. - he said, in an ironic tone and then I started the truck - I heard that the daughter of Mr. Heitor is coming to live with him. Frederic commented, smiling.

- And? — I shrugged — She's certainly a spoiled patricinha, like everyone else in the big city.

- And? She can be a cat.

— You should pay more attention to your studies. You're turning nineteen and you're still in your third year of high school. I warned him .

“Oh, leave me Demetrius. - he snorted .

A few minutes later, we arrived in the next little town, I stopped by the school and Frederic got out of the car, looking annoyed. I didn't care that he was, I was his big brother and I had an obligation to take care of him and make sure he had a good future.

"Bye to you too!" I teased.

After I took care of everything in the city, I bought what I needed, put everything in the back of the truck and went back to the farm. It was just over one o'clock, doing this kind of work took time, as I always had to check merchandise by merchandise.

And when I was getting out of the car to go to Mr. Heitor, let me know that everything was fine and hand over the rest of the money, I saw a girl holding my dog.

“What are you doing? Who are you? I questioned and walked towards her quickly.

As I approached, the sight took my breath away a little, she was a beautiful girl, her well-designed and delicate face held my gaze, including her pink lips, but what most caught my attention were her incredibly blue eyes. I had never seen anything so beautiful before. He looked like a damn angel. I noticed her cheeks get a little red. She didn't answer me, she just stared at me.

Something different and strange stirred inside me, which made me feel angry.

- I'm talking with you. I exclaimed.

— My name is Lívia, I'm Heitor's daughter, I'm going to live here starting today. — I opened my eyes wider, surprised — I was taking a walk when I saw this injured puppy. I was going to take him inside to take care of him.

"It's mine, I was looking for it, give it to me." I asked and she without hesitation handed over the pet, giving her head a last caress.

- I hope he gets better. He gave a sympathetic smile.

I just turned my back and went home to take care of my dog.

You're welcome ? I heard her scream, stifled a laugh and ignored it.
