Just one night.

-Ei, Ju, let's go to a party in Ipanema tonight?! - Yasmin, my best friend asked me when she got home, already pushing away the books that were in my bed.

I have test at college, paperwok from where I do internship,and just for dessert, a beautiful Filosophy paperwork to pressent at college.

Intelligible world and sensitive world crushing into my "social world", that doesn't exist about a month ago, on account of all this rush.

-Are you kidding me, Yas? Can't you see how much stuff i still have to do? - I said, taking off my glasses and looking serious to her.

-Wow, relax.  I'm always going to that places by myself, without my best friend! I'm tired of that. You can't miss one day of your studies? You have a whole week ahead!

-That i were going to sleep till late and just look at my schedule. I'm not iron men, Yas.

-YEAH! You are not iron men, Juliet. If you don't get out and have fun, at least one time in a month, you are going to end up crazzy. It's a fact that studying everyday, without  a rest is sickness.

-But I do rest!

-Stay on your phone calculating your expenses and looking in the internet about researches isn't a rest.

-But I..

-It's your last chance with me. - She said, seriously. I could notice that all of that was real; she was upset and worried about me. - Are you hearing me? Please, give me a chance! I promise that i'll make you change your mind about the whole thing.

-What time does the party begin? - I sighed, getting up my bed and going to my closet to pick an outfit.

-8 pm. You can wear something simple. It wont be a party that people put a stereo with hip hop music, in an apartment with 100 people. It's a big friend of mine, that I just rediscovered, and he invited me to the first show of his in a cool bar at Ipanema.

-A concert? - I frowned, crossing my arms.

What the fuck was she talking about?

-Yeah! He's a peace of cake. I'm sure you two will get along.

Huh.. Now i'm getting the whole stuff.

-So this was your idea? Push me to someone?

-Oh, Jesus! You are so hard! - Yas sighed, rolling the eyes. - No, Juliet, i won't push you to anyone. He's just my friend, went to school with me and we bumped into each other last week. He gave me the tickets and I just said that you like the kind of music that he sings. No big deal. He just started with that, he's a cover boy.

-You know what I think about people that sing another people's song..

I don't buy it. If i want to hear a song, i'll hear it on the voice of the people who actually sing that song.

-Grr! You want to go or nah? Will you throw away this chance? I swear to God I wont push you into him, I think he has a girlfriend.

-Ok, ok. Whatever. I'll take a shower and get dressed.

-Ok, but don't take long. I don't want to miss the best places.

It was almost 8, so i would -really-have to rush.

I took a really good shower trying to relax myself, dressed a jeans skinny, a white t-shirt and put a cool red jacket.

It was autumn, and despite of Rio de Janeiro be cold just one day at a year, the night use to be really cold, and i couldn't get sick right now. No way.

I dried my hair and decided to go out with him that way; loose, free. I was without any desire to put on some make up.

-You are so hot! - Yas said, looking proud about me. - You ready?

-Almost.

I just put on some perfume and looked one more time at the mirror.

I was casual. The Juliet of everyday.

-Ok. Let's go.

We got out of my building,  we were lucky to catch a bad in the front of it pretty quickly, and in about 20 minutes we were in front of the bar.

It seemed kinda full of people, but it was cozy inside.

There were some guys at stage setting up the concert, checking the sound, and some people at the bar.

-Can we go talk to him? It won't be long. He really wanted me to come, and you know, i need to say my 'helo'. - Before I denied it, runned away or even scream, she was already pushing me to the front of the stage.

-Yas, I...

She knew how much i hate being introduce to people like that. Specially boys. Grr.

-Ei, Enzo!

My friend called and a brunnet, tal, strong -and with a beautiful smile on his face- boy showed up. His sking was so tanned looking good with his sloppy look.

Enzo was using a light jacket, torn around the pockets and a white t-shirt.

-Heyy, Yas! - He said in a friendly way.

He jumped off the stage coming to hug my friend.

-i'm so glad you came! - I heard him say. - So, who's the cutie next to you? - He whispered.

Oh. God.

I'm totally blushing right now.

-Enzo, this is my friend, whose speaked about. She's really curious to hear what you are playing tonight. - Yas threw me an elbow.

-E-Ei. - i smiled, kissing him two times in his face. The ''carioca'' way.

I could smell this perfume and it was so delicious..

-Well, i hope you enjoy it. - He smiled. Man, stop, please. - I have to go... Stay in my sight. I like having a good one when i'm singing. - he said looking directly at me.

MY ANACONDA DON'T. Oh my God.

-Ok. - Yas said excited as if he just said "well, say confort". Nothing big. Sure. - I'll catch a bear. Do you want some?

-Yes. - I'll drink the whole bar after that one.

-Enzo isn't used to being so friendly this way. Lucky you, huh? - she bumped into me, laughing.

Ridiculous.

I stayed on foot and noticed that I had a whole sight of the stage.

Now i want to see who's this Enzo singing.

A few later, Yas came back with our drink; it was pure alcohol. For a while I didn't drink that way, but some nights i'm used to drink alone at home so I can stay up; studying.

So, some strange guy introduced Enzo and the other guys started to play.

Then he started to play Gravity. John Fucking Mayer.

I got goosebumps to head to toe. Every fucking body knew that i'm crazzy about this men. Are you fucking kidding me?

I were capable to see Yas smiling at me soon as the song started. She should be thinking that i was exploding inside.

And that was exactly what was going on.

I just shaked my head, closing my eyes and started to sing.

-Gravity is working against me.. - I smiled, still with my eyes closed. - And gravity wants to bring me down...

After that, came "Slow dancing in a burning room" to kill me slowly. Then, "into your arms" (the maine). Men, THE MAINE!

His voice was so sweet... it seems like he was singing with his heart.

I didn't know if it was the drink having an effect on me or was some kind of drug that someone put in my drink, but i was getting the vibe.

The next of the maine, Im sorry, it was when i noticed that he wasn't taking away his eyes of me in every song that he was singing. In the chorus with some powerfull -in love- words, he smiled with that 'trouble boy' face and looked at me.

It seemed like he was singing to me, how crazzy was that?

To end up with my heart he sang XO.

Then I sang as if there was no tomorrow.

And looking at him.

And smiling.

And corresponding that -whatever- thing was, but it was so good, that               i was feeling.

-

After the show some good music started to play and i sat on the bar while Yas hang out with her boyfriend (that i found out he was the band drummer!) i knew that he was a drummer from some band, but i wouldn’t guess that it was the same from Enzo, of cours.

-So? – I heard that sweet voice come next to me and sat next to me.

-So. – i said, looking at him and smiling.

Don’t blush. Don’t blush. Dont....

Oh. God. I’m blushing.

-What did you think?

-You knew?

-What? – He frowned and asked for drinks for us.

-About John mayer. I’m totally in love with him.

-No way? – He was actually surprised. – I swear to God i didnt know.. Look!

He put his phone on the table and showed his playlist. Just the maine, John Mayer, The 1978 on his playlist.

-Uow. You have good taste.

-Yea. I need to say, yours is good too.

-You go to college? – He asked, still not looking away from my eyes.

-Yep. – I looked at him. I need to show that i was interested, right? – I studied Jornalism and know, i study Filosophy. I also go to a drawn course.

-Really? Shit. You’re so smart. – he showed surprised. I laughed. – Who knows you will do the art of some CD of mine?

-Who knows. – I smiled. – What about you?

-I sing for Youtube. I’m not busy for my parents that actually live in NY. A sloppy sudent in History’s college.

-History? – Now it was me that was surprised.

-What did you think, that I skate and in my free time sang to girls in my concerts? – WE laughed. – I’m kidding. Yeah, history. Honestly, i dont know why i chose that. I just loved History at school and i just..went with the flow, you know?

-How old are you, sorry for asking?

-Less than 100, don’t you worry. – we laughed. – 25. You?

-More than 14. I know that I look young, but....

-Did you pay a lot of drinks with that fake ID, right? Yea, I got it.

-Yea, I’m just 26, kid. – i joke. – It was a tough week, a tough month. It happens.

-You think that drinking will solve it?

-With a good company.. – I smiled at him.

Tchanaan, Julieta is on!

-Bartender, give me 20 of these please. – Enzo said, kidding, and i laughed again. – What happened? 

Your boyfriend discovered the strip clubs?

Oh..

It was just what a needed.

-If there was one, right? – i laughed. – I’m really busy with paperworks from school, college..

-Oh, i see. When i want to go to college i’m the same.

--Yea. Yas practicly dragged me over here, or I would be at home, doing researches and that stuff.

-Hum.. and it was good? It worth it? – he smiled, finishing his drink.

-I think so.

Enzo stopped and looked me for a few seconds. He shaked his head, got up and pulled me, saying:

-Let’s get out of here. I won’t stay this night firting with you at a bar.

-But.. what about Yasmin?

-She’s going to be just fine, don’t you worry. We text her later.

I smiled, getting out of there with him.

He took me to the partking lot near there, we jumped on his moto – yea! Radical! – and we went to 

find the unknown.

God is good.

-

On the first stop we ate something.

Mc Donalds. He knows how to please a woman.

Thank God it was empty.

Ok, there was 2 am. Then...

- We wont eat in here? – I asked when he told the lady that everything was to go.

-We haven’t time for that! And besides, I have a better idea. – He smiled.

After we grab lunch, we jumped again in the moto.

It was our final stop.

After some empty streets, there we were.

Pedra do Arpoador (the beach).

When he parked, we took off our helmets and he asked me:

-Did you like it?

-Are you kidding? Its perfect! – i smiled, grabbing our lunch.

-Great. – smiled. – lets go, i’m starving!

We sat on a nice space at the sand and started to eat. I was eating like there was no tomorrow. It was a time since i had eat this way.

-Oh God, have you never eaten mc donalds? – he noticed.

-A long time ago. – i said with my my full mouth. – god, it’s so good!

-What kind of life do you live, man?

-I was just eating healthy to help me to concentrate and study, you know..

-Oh, i see. – he sighed.

When I finished, I join my lunch and put it a side.

Suddenly, Enzo looked at me laughing.

-What?

-It’s dirty. – with his finger point, he cleaned the corner of my mouth.

It was the most cliche cene ever.

-Oh, thank you. – i smiled.

-So.. Julieta, huh?

-Yeah. I thought you forgot. – i looked to the waves.

-It’s the first time I’m meeting a Julieta in my life. So, i think it will be a little hard to forget. It’s like Juliet from Romeo?

It took me a while to think about the love story. Really.

I’m that slow.

-Wow. – I laughed; in my 26 years of living no one has ever made a joke so bad about my name. – 

You are really creative, huh?

-Yea, an almost historian have his advantages. I work with the past.

- Are you too atach with it?

-I dont know. – for the first time in the night, he stood serious. – i know i miss it. You know.. Who I 

was. Can’t delete it.

-Yea. Can’t delete it. – I sighed, agreeing.

-I made wrong choices in my youth and most of them frustated me. Happened to you? Sometime?

-Yea, i made wrong choices too. But i learned from them. We all do.

-Yea, thats truth. – He nodded. – It was about an year I didn’t hang out with someone like this, yoy 

know?

So he didn’t have a girlfriend.

Hm.

-Really?

-Yea. I had a girlfriend till last year. I almost got her pregnant, we got so scary. And suddenly, she 

came like ‘we have to marry”. Man, that freaked me out. I didn’t want that, it was early you know? I 

feel like i’m not ready yet.

-I feel you.

-Have that ever happened to you?

-Sometimes. I don’t want to talk about it, sorry.

-That’s ok. – He shrugged. – We’re so down.. Can we go to somewhere else?

-Where are we going? It’s almost 3 am, Enzo!

-The night is a child, Julieta..

-

3 am and we end up at Copacabana beach. Nothing like a walk, right?

-I like here. Brings me peace. – enzo said when we sat on the beach.

-Me too.

-So, what are you going to do on the holiday? I’m free.

-I was planing to study and rest.

-Can I be a part of this rest?

-I think so. – i smiled, looking at him. – We arrived at the end of our night, then?

-I think so. – he smiled.- Unless you have another place idea.. You boss.

-I see. To be honest, i have to go. I have a paper to finish to college.

-About what?

-Inteligible world and sensible world.

-Platao. – he nodded, looking forward.

-He hunts me.

-Do you have some theory? To show in the paper?

-Yea. But just from the inteligible world. – I looked at him.

I noticed how much close he was to me. I was capable to see my own reflex on his eyes.

-Maybe i can help you with the sensible world.

-You? An historian? – i laughed. – how?

I looked to him.

Enzo smiled, put his hands in the back of my neck and got close slowly. And he kissed me. A soft 

kiss, with coca-cola taste with a eletric current called ‘’passion’’.

I passed my fingers trough his hair and for a moment i didn’t wanna leave that moment. That kiss.

-Don’t you doubt about me, Juliet. – he sighed, putting our foreheads together.

-Oh Romeo, my sweet Romeo! – i said, pulling me away and laughing.

-Have you ever read it?

-Of course not. – we laughed. – Some day, who knows.

-I can read it for you. – Enzo said, flashing to me.

-Finish college and we talk about it. – he laughed as soon as I said, getting up.

-Wo, are you leaving? – He got up too, stanting in front of me.

-I was serious when i said that i have to go! – I winked. Of course i dind’t want to leave.

-I see. Can i catch your number with Yasmin? I really want to see you again, Ju. – he spoke serious, looking at me.

I stopped.

Just one night..

-I think i have a better ideia. – I smiled, grabbing his hand and running with him to his moto again.

-wo, where, miss?

I said to him the adress and in a few minutes,we got where I wanted.

I told him to stop the moto and confused, Enzo came with me.

-Where are we... – He frowned.

I opened the dor and..

-Tchanann! – I said, smiling and pulling him inside. – Welcome home.

-Interesting. – he crossed his arms. – this was your idea?

-It has a lot of things for us to do at 4 am, ok? Movies on tv, dvds....

Before i could finish, Enzo grabbed me again, he kissed me, closing the door.

-It has something better.. – he whispered, kissing my neck.

-I’ll accept your proposal. – i said, tooking off his shirt.

He put me on his lap and layed me down on the couch, taking of his and mine shoes.

-I’m not used to do this on the first date, so I’m sorry if I.. – he started to say.

-SSSHH. – I shut him up, passing my hands across his abs and kissing him. – Let it be.

-There goes one more theory to your sensible world. – we laughed.

What a theory.
