“ Ah , quando o senhor me convida assim tão charmoso como é que eu posso recusar ? ”

The growing sound of the familiar music from her home country filled Beatriz's heart with joy , seeming to revive her from the inside out .

That bar had quickly become her favorite place in all of England , and going there —

⠀
they walked together to the ol’ familiar bar. on week nights, they had a forró band play live and double shots of pinga. doesn’t get better than that, does it?

“ será qu’é hoje que a dona moça vai dançar um forró comigo ?”

Whatever it was that lingered beneath the surface of their friendship went unspoken and unacknowledged . The risk seemed to great and Beatriz feared driving away the only person that made her feel seen .

So she stayed silent . —

joaquim was more … quiet about it, he didn’t voice his feelings often. it was for the best, he thought, it wasn’t fair to risk his only friend for something that he could have easily misread.

— hard to tell that Beatriz had a soft spot for Joaquim . He was so different from the men that pursued her . Not that their relationship was like that , but still .

It was different .

“ Vamos rezar à Santa Pinga então ! ”

⠀

[♱⛥♱ 𝔗𝔞𝔨𝔢 𝔐𝔢 𝔉𝔬𝔯𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔯, 𝔅𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔯𝔦𝔷 @D1V1NEACT]

⠀⠀

“ Ah , mas é sempre coisa vazia , de gente que só me elogia por que eu sou atriz . ” She waved a hand dosmissively , rolling icy eyes before turning them back to him . “ É diferente quando você diz . ”

It wasn't —

⠀⠀

[𝓳𝘰𝘢𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘮. @7OBLUES]

⠀
“ bobeira tua , sei que recebe elogios o tempo todo.” he shrugged, dismissively. she looked nice blushing under the setting sun, cheeks red matching the warm tones in the sky.

“ eu também num sei o que tô fazendo, visse ? eu era

She giggled , a flush of pink rising in pale cheeks . “ Ainda bem que eu sou atriz , acho q não conseguiria fazer um trabalho desses nem com muita reza . ”

⠀⠀

[♱⛥♱ 𝔗𝔞𝔨𝔢 𝔐𝔢 𝔉𝔬𝔯𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔯, 𝔅𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔯𝔦𝔷 @D1V1NEACT]

⠀⠀

Even with the broken hug , Beatriz still looked at Joaquim like he was the sun . Butterflies fluttered around in her stomach and the actress had to fight them off internally .

“ Assim eu fico com vergonha . ” —

⠀⠀

[𝓳𝘰𝘢𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘮. @7OBLUES]

⠀
he breathes her in and realizes she already smells familiar to him. it makes his stomach feels weird so he steps back, still smiling, how could he not?

“ ouvi tu ensaiando lá de cima. parecia até um anjo cantando…” he laughs
⠀

He was always warm , Beatriz realized . The kind of warmth she rarely felt in the locals . He was home .

“ Tive sim . Só muito ensaio , como sempre . E você ? ”

⠀⠀

[𝓳𝘰𝘢𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘮. @7OBLUES]

⠀
“ que bom.” he wraps an arm around her waist and it’s one of those nice hugs that really feel like home. “ teve um bom dia ?”

Hearing the approaching footsteps , Beatriz turns to meet her friend's eyes and instantly lights up .

“ Ei ! Não atrasou , eu acabei de chegar . ” This time the actress couldn't help throwing her arms around him gently .

he’s running back outside to her, bag in his back and a wide smile.

“desculpa o atraso!”
