Stalking my Future Husband

Disclaimer: This is a true story that happened about a year ago.  Candice and I were being very silly and very dramatic.  I don't actually believe he is my future husband (I hadn't met Peter yet).  Also, some names have been changed.

   The fact that Candice was visiting from out of town was only a lame excuse for another reason to go back to the restaurant.  I had already been there 3 times in the past week and a half.  He’s not going to fall in love with me on his own, is he?  The first time I went there, I saw him – he was so handsome – I made small talk, introduced myself, ordered my food - the usual.  I mean, I was with a group of friends, what more could I do?  The second time I went there, he didn’t remember me.  But he felt really bad about it – that’s an in!  Then I took Candice there.

   Once she saw him, she understood.  He always acted awkward.  Kind of shy, self-conscious.  But his looks made up for it.  Then I met his brother.  Taller, equally as handsome, friendly, personable, not awkward...  Hey, if younger brother isn’t stepping up to the plate…

   Older brother made sure he waited on us.  He came to refill my water glass and ended up talking for 15 minutes.  Fifteen minutes.  Candice and I kept eating, he kept talking.  He had refilled my water glass 3 times before he realized he should probably wait on other tables.  But by then I was lost, hopelessly in love - younger brother completely forgotten.  There was only one small problem…

Embu, Brazil

Embu des Artes is a beautiful art village in Sao Paulo.  I definitely want to spend more time and money there!  I love the colors of the buildings, the art, the furniture, the outdoor restaurants, the atmosphere, etc.
