“No way. I’ve never been grumpy like that.My balls have always been treated very well.”
“Really?Because I remember very well a certain someone mumbling like a parrot ah,but I don’t have time… blah blah blah,oh, I should fuck my secretary, but she’s sixty years old… blah blah blah,oh, I only work… blah blah blah”I recite the lines that were once from João, with a thin voice and making opening and closing movements with both hands.But, contrary to my intention, his smile does not go out.
“Alright, I admit it... I went through a pretty fucked up moment.But do you know when it ended, Marcos?” I roll my eyes, not wanting to hear it, but making sure he won’t wait for my answer to tell me. “When I signed a fucking contract, so, no, you didn’t become a João Pedro 2.0, at most, a 1.5, but I still prefer the version where I was a Marcos 3.0, why...”
“Because you’re better even at being me and blah blah blah!" I say along with him. “Can we work now?”
João laughs again, not so scandalously as before, but nothing that can be called exactly discreet.
“Are you sure this is just about not having sex, Marcos?”
“Yes!” I lie, because I know it’s not about not having sex, it’s about a woman taking my sleep and not in a good way.
“All right, thank you very much!I’ll be in touch!” I say goodbye to the third and last candidate for the nanny for Isabella, feeling exhausted.Today is only the first day, and I wanted it to be the last.
The woman gets up and, while Carmen accompanies her to the door, I pick up the phone on the table and type a message to Grazi:
Antonella:God!How do filthy rich women manage to have 30 babysitters for their children?
Antonella:I can barely find one!
Grazi:Didn’t work out with any?Relax, today was just the first day.
Antonella:I’m not sure if it’s them, or if it’s me, you know? I think I’m not ready to trust yet. Not after what happened at the day-care.
Grazi:I get it, sis.But you know it’s necessary, right?
Antonella:I know... I just need some time… I’ll find someone.
Grazi:Ok. But remember, your wedding is sixteen days away.
Antonella:Holy shit!
Grazi:lmao… If you can’t find anyone by then, I can spend the week in São Paulo and stay with Bella.I still don’t know how to deal with Bella calling you auntie during the party...
Antonella:That would be perfect, sis.But how am I going to explain this to Marcos?
Grazi:Fuck...
Grazi: Can we ask her not to do it?
Antonella:We could try.
Antonella:But I doubt she can help it.Anyway, this is a problem for another time.I will find a babysitter.Tomorrow I have three more candidates to interview. It’s gonna be fine!
Grazi:And if not, we make it work!
Grazi:I love you and I have a surprise for you on Saturday!
Antonella:What surprise?
Grazi:Urgh, Nel! Where’s my “I love you too”?
Grazi:And if I tell you know, it won’t be a surprise anymore.
Antonella:You know that I love you too. And don’t be a witch! Give me at least a tip, please?
Grazi:One tip, huh?
