I kiss your lips with love and then go to the boarding area with my passport in hand without looking back because if I looked again at Roger I cry a lot.

POV Roger.

My bride will toward the boarding area. I await your flight departs for Brazil. After half an hour I see the plane VARIG going towards São Paulo. I return home, depressed.

When you get home tidy my bag. Tomorrow morning delivery to King's Lynn with Clare. Our mother is already there. She will spend the New Year with us. I bought a house for my mother here in London, very large. We will celebrate the turn of the year in the new house.

The next day I take leave of my friends who will be in London wishing them a Merry Christmas. Step into the house of the girls to find my sister. Clare help with your bags and put in the trunk of the car. I wish you all a merry Christmas in advance.

London to King's Lynn are three-hour drive. Clare and I were talking most of the time.

- There is this time my sister is coming to São Paulo. One day I will go to Brazil and I have spoken to Yasmin that she will be my tour guide. - Clare said.

- We will go to Brazil, my sister. I will also. Already I miss my love. - I say paying attention to the road.

Clare looks at me smiling and said:

- I never thought that a woman would have this power over you, to leave you so passionate. Good thing is Yasmin. I always knew that one day you would be together not only as friends. May God continue to bless this union so lovely of you.

- What I want is to live next to Yasmine until my old age. - I said. - And make sure that my love for her goes beyond death. It is eternal.

- What I feel Tim is like that. - Clare smiles. - He speaks in engagement for next year now that I finished college, but I told him that I will do Masters and Doctorate before marrying me.

- Can you get married and you continue studying my sister. Tim is completely crazy about you. At the time he asked you to confess that dating would be something temporary, after all he was a womanizer like me, but he completely changed because of you. - I smile. - Today I am calm because you are next to a man who loves you very much and respects you, though I will be a jealous eternal with my sister.

Clare smiles and runs his hand on my shoulder.

- You will always be jealous, Rog. I've gotten used to it, since adolescence. I remember the fights we had because of his jealousy to me. I was very angry with you and said things that should not and it hurt.

- We talked a lot of shit. - I said smiling. - And everything in the moment of anger and then in arrependíamos. You will always be my little princess, my sister, always. You will complete thirty, forty years, but always see you as a little girl and protect too.

Three hours later we arrived at King's Lynn for the joy of our mother and family. Everyone asked by Yasmin and I said she went to Brazil. Spend Christmas with their families.

Yasmin POV.

After fifteen hours of flight finally arrive at the Guarulhos International Airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Breathe Brazilian hot air. The summer air. As I miss the Brazilian summer.

I go down the plane, through customs, then I picked up my bags and go to the landing area. My parents are waiting for me. The embrace strongly. Let us toward the parking lot. My father was the car of my grandfather. My native country is still governed by the military dictatorship.

When I get to my grandparents' house I'm quickly received with great celebration for all.

The days prior to Christmas Eve I go to the beaches of the coast of São Paulo with my cousins.

On Christmas Eve I help my aunts and cousins ​​with preparing supper. All former days I talk to Roger by phone. He is enjoying the company of family and her sister Clare.

Around eight o'clock in São Paulo I call the home of Roger's grandmother in King's Lynn wishing to my boyfriend and all of them a Merry Christmas. There is already midnight. We talked a bit and he says he will call me tomorrow to open our gifts at the same time.

The next day I had a wonderful Christmas lunch with my family. It was a very hot day, typical summer but throughout the late afternoon it rained.

Around three in the afternoon I had just finished lunch and was eating dessert that my aunt had prepared. The phone rang. My mother answered and heard her talking to Roger. They talked a little. Then my mother called me and already I get my Christmas present he had bought.

- Hi my love. - She said smiling at him. - Again Merry Christmas and God bless you.

- Hi my love. - he smiled. - Again Merry Christmas to you too. God has blessed me. I have the most beautiful woman and sweetest in the world to me. I appreciate every day. How was your Christmas Eve?

- Excellent my love. And yours? I bet your cousins ​​you drunk. - I smiled.

- Even drunk. - He smiled. - I was drunk, woke up hungover today. Today during the day only I had a glass of champagne at the time we provide supper lunch, then just soda. And the lunch meal with your family? I bet it's still happening.

- We finished lunch a little now. - I smiled. - Now we are eating the desserts. They are now seven in the evening there. All will dine together?

- Yes my princess. But let's have dinner around nine. Nobody is hungry yet, also after so much we ate yesterday and today. It is with your gift in hands?

- Yes I am, my love. And you are already with her?

- Yes Princess. We will do: First I will open my gift and then you open your ok?

- Ok my kitten. Open your gift and say if you like.

- Okay, I'll open. Wait a moment.

I hope Roger like my gift. My fiance is now buying some guitars for your collection. In addition to battery, Roger is passionate about guitars. So I decided to buy a guitar model he was already intending to buy: Guitar Giannini 70 N Gibson Les Paul pickups Emg. I did not pay cheap by the instrument, but it does not matter. I want it like this.

Roger picks up the phone again and says:

- Love, I do not believe I'm seeing my face one of the guitars that I wanted to buy. She is beautiful. I am surprise. Thank you my princess. I bet you paid dearly. This guitar is not cheap. I did not need to buy. When you return trip will make a guitar solo for you in this new instrument.

- No matter the price my love, what matters is that you loved this, my favorite musician. - Smile at him. - I want you to play guitar for myself. I'm anxious.

- My cat, wanted to fill with kisses now know? But there's no problem. Get ready for the return. - He smiled. - Now open your present.

- OK my love.

I start to open my present: I see two books about the world of journalism and his world history that I've wanted to buy at a good time, but the price was too expensive. My eyes filled with tears. There was also a small black velvet box next to the books and a card on top.

I took the card and began to read: '' I hope you enjoy the books. Always heard you say you still want to buy the two books but they were very expensive. For there it is. Enjoy them and good reading. In addition to the books there is another gift: he is the symbol of journalists. A beautiful ruby ​​ring. I hope you enjoy my love. I love you very much and Merry Christmas.

                                                                                                                                                             R.T.

At the end of the ticket I see the initials of my love.

I open the black velvet box and there is a beautiful ruby ​​ring. I start to cry. I put the ring on my left hand. The ring shines too.

- Rog my love, you want to kill me is not it? - I say crying. - I loved the gifts. The books, the ring. Are perfect. Thank you my kitten.

- You deserve my princess. - he smiled. - I love you.

We talked for a while when Roger said it will shut down because their cousins ​​are calling. Tomorrow he will call me before I go back to London.

I show my family the gifts I got from Roger. My cousins ​​are delighted with the ruby ​​ring.

I spend the rest of the afternoon eating desserts, singing karaoke with my family, dancing.

The next day I start to pack my bags. My parents will return to Truro just the sixth of January. At night Roger calls me and says he will be tomorrow morning returning to London with Clare and Winifred, he will surprise his mother with the house he bought for her. I warn him that tomorrow afternoon when leaving the house of my grandparents going towards the airport call him.

POV Roger.

Finally on December 27. I had a wonderful Christmas next to my family in King's Lynn, but now it's time to go back to London. I say goodbye to my relatives wishing a Happy New Year for them. My mother and sister into the car. I turn on the car to crank. I am very happy that my mother will be with Clare and I a few days in London. She can not imagine the surprise that will do it.

Three hours later we arrived in London around noon and went to lunch in a restaurant and as always the paparazzi on my foot. They took my pictures with my mother and sister. They do not give peace.

After lunch I was not straight home. I stopped my Aston Martin in front of a large house in a residential condominium in London very chic. The condo is close to the house I live with boys. My mother looked at Clare and me blankly and said:

- Son, and this house? Is your new home? You bought?

- No mommy. - I smiled at her through the rearview mirror, because she was in the back seat of the car. - Let's look it inside. But it's not my house.

We left the car and Clare and I were embraced with our mother toward the house. I open the house and see the large living room beautiful. Then we go to the large full dining room. My mother looks stunned.

- It's just beautiful. - she says. - If the house is not your son, then you bought for his sister Clare.

Clare and I smiled but stayed silent. We showed her the large kitchen, the bathroom there is next to the living room to the large backyard with a lovely garden, there is still a large barbecue space, a mini kitchen next to the barbecue, the part of the laundry. On the upper floor of the house we showed her another living room, two bathrooms there, with a hot tub, a beautiful terrace overlooking the city of London, in addition to four large bedrooms in it.

- Mom ... - I turn to her. - This house is not Clare and not mine. This house is the lady. I bought for you. I know you have your simple house in Truro, where Clare and I have the best memories of our lives, I know that even the lady still living there, they still have their work and have got used to the quiet life of the city, but I bought the house for you, because in the future I do not want you to work more if it were up to me you would stop working today. I would give all the money you need and ...

- Son, I'm sixty years old, but I still have vitality. I intend to work for at least another five years. I like to work. As for the money every month you send a large amount for me. I do not have to complain.

- All right, Mom, do you work as long as you want, but Clare and I want the lady around us in the coming years, so I bought this beautiful house for you. This house is yours. As for the number of rooms, the lady choose your room. The other three bedrooms are for visits to when Clare and I want to sleep here, keep you company, for their future grandchildren. - I smiled.

- My beloved son.

At that moment my mother hugged me crying heavily.

- Thank you for the beautiful gift. God bless my son.

- Do not have to thank my beloved mother. - I smiled at her. - Clare and I eternally thank the little lady in beautiful, education and love that has always provided us, the sleepless nights that was with us when we were sick. By always be with us at all times.

At that moment Clare approaches us and embraces us.

We cried for joy.

- We will always be together, the three of us. Ever. - I told them kissing them on the cheek. - I'll take care of you and my sister Clare, always. Love you so much.

- We also love you too son. - My mother smiled.

- Love you so much. - Clare smiled.

- Mom, Clare will be with you here in the coming days and I also. - smile. - Clare and the lady later can shop at the supermarket for the next days. Let's go home before. Clare and I'll get some clothes and wait a call from Yasmine. The New Year's Eve will be here with our friends, if you do not mind.

- Of course not my son. - she smiled. - You can come as many people want.

Clare smiled and left the house girls. Our mother was with her. She goes then to the house of our mother with her car. Clare has a duplicate key of the house, I have one too and our mother.

I went home, took a shower, separated some pieces of clothing for the next day, even since the New Year's clothes.

Yasmine called around five o'clock. It is already going to the airport. I told her the surprise that made my mother, I'll be the next day with her. She was happy with the news. He said tomorrow around noon will be coming to London airport. I wished her a good trip home and await his return eagerly.

She hung up the phone. Freddie, Bri and Tim are still in the house of their relatives here in London it. They return tonight. I left a message for them on a refrigerator magnet that will spend the next days with Clare and my mother in the new house and then they can go to whenever you want.

Clare called saying go to the supermarket with my mother do the shopping the next day and New Year's supper. He said that when they return will make dinner and if I want I can go home and wait for them there.

I took a small bag with pieces of clothing and put in the back seat of the car. I now go to my mother's house. I want to make the most of time with them.

Yasmin POV.

My flight back to London left at eight o'clock. I'm on the plane with many pictures I took with my family these days I was in Brazil, rides, Christmas dinner. My eyes fill with tears. If I could come more often to Brazil, but my life is so ordinary. I want to see if next year Rog come with me to São Paulo, if only to stay a week.

Will now be sixteen hours of flight. Let there be patience. I look forward to reviewing my fiance and friends.

I sleep most of the flight. Around eight thirty in the morning the next day I wake up with the flight attendant serving breakfast. I slept almost twelve hours straight. I yawn and accept breakfast. I'm hungry. After taking the coffee I get a little bench and path of the aircraft. My legs are numb. Do some stretching. Then I come back to sit and flip through some magazines that are on the aircraft. Some are written in French. I do not understand anything. I need to start my French course soon. Speaking in France, we are flying at that moment the wonderful city of Paris. Three more hours of flight and be in London.

Three hours after the plane landed at London Airport. Thank God I made a quiet trip. I walk out of the aircraft and feel the biting cold of the London city. I was getting used to the Brazilian summer, is now facing the London winter again.

Step through the custom house and sign some papers. It takes longer than usual. Then go to the baggage area and picked up my two bags and put them in a cart.

Before going to the landing area I go to the bathroom.

When I come out of the bathroom and I'm walking towards the landing area I see someone call me.

- Yasmin, wait.

At the time I turn against the father of Roger, Michael and his wife, Virginia.

- Michael? - Amazed smile. - What a surprise to find it here.

I embrace you with many memories. Then I hug Virginia with all the sympathy.

- Surprise find it here too. - Michael smiled. - I bet returned from Brazil is not?

- Exactly. I spent Christmas in Sao Paulo with my parents and other Brazilian family. And you're coming back from that place?

- From Manchester. - Virginia said smiling. - Michael and I spent Christmas with my family.

- And you will return to Truro which way? - I asked.

- My brother came to pick us. - Virginia said. - And who came to pick her up?

- Roger. - I smiled. - There's this time it should be in the landing area.

- I really wanted to be able to go to meet him Yasmin and embraces it. - Michael said.

- So let's go. - I said excitedly.

- Have you forgotten that Roger hate me? - Said sadly Virginia. - He did not would welcome Michael to approach him and I next.

- It's been so long and Roger still has not overcome it all. - At that time Michael's eyes fill with tears.

- I do not know what to tell you. - I sigh. - I'm sorry for everything. I have talked several times with Roger for him to forgive you of heart, Michael and maybe one day accept Virginia as stepmother. But Roger is stubborn, my fiance is very unforgiving. You know perfectly.

- Leave things as they are Yasmin. - Michael sighed. - Maybe one day he forgives me for truth and accept Virginia as stepmother.

- I always liked Roger and Clare. Sometimes Clare tells me on the phone. Only Winifred know. Roger never knew that. - Said Virginia.

- If Roger know that Clare speaks to you he'll be hurt, the same thing myself, if he knows I'm talking to you at that time he will be angry. He said that Clare and I can talk to Michael but he would not accept us to talk with you. - I said. - This is absurd. I like you a lot, Virginia and I know that makes Michael happy.

- I like you, girl. You are an amazing person Yasmin and wish you all the happiness with Roger.

- Thank you Virginia. - Smile.

- Neither Winifred cares more to do with me Virginia. - Michael said. - The only thing missing Roger change his mind.

- One day he will change. - I say, glancing at the clock.

- Honey, we have to go, my brother awaits us. We still have three hours of travel ahead. - Said Virginia.

- From now I wish you both a Happy New Year with good health and prosperity. May it be a year of many blessings.

I embrace both affectionately and kiss on the cheek.

- Happy New Year to you too Yasmin. - Michael said. - Success forever and prosperity.

- Happy New Year my dear. - Virginia again hold me. - God bless you.

- Happy New Year to you. Until any time. - I say going towards the landing area.

When I'm in the landing area I see Roger impatiently walking from one side to the other looking at the clock. I smiled at him. He has not seen me until he looks back and sees me. It opens a big smile going to me and hold me tight almost choking me and fills me with kisses. They all look to us. We kissed us for a while missing a lot.

- My princess, my life, how many missed.

- Love passed quickly. For ten days only. - Smiling and kissing more.

- Why it took so long to get out of the arrivals area my love? - he asks.

And now what I say? I will not say I met with his father and Virginia lady.

- I passed the custom-house. I was a lot of line and even signed some papers. Then I grabbed my bags and went to the bathroom.

- OK my princess. - He smiles kissing me more. - Let's go honey. My mother and Clare prepared a special lunch for you.

I smile at him and he takes my cart with the bags and head towards the parking lot.

He put my bags in the car trunk and then enter the vehicle. He kissed me a little happy. He started the car and headed toward the house of his mother.

I'm glad he did not suspect anything. If he learns that I talked to Virginia he will fight me in the right. You feel betrayed and blah blah blah. I know the temper of my fiance.

Author's note: What Yasmin do not realize is that had paparazzi at the airport and will soon publish in the newspaper pictures of her talking to Michael and Virginia. Roger discover that Yasmin and Clare speak with Virginia and the consequences? Well I will not say what will happen going forward, but something very serious is going to happen and the relationship of Roger and Yasmin will be hanging by a thread ...
