December 27, 2022 — New York, NYC
..
He was here, he had finally arrived.
His swimming pool blue eyes were focused on me, his blond hair perfectly aligned, his smile bright, clothes well pressed.
Our cat, Wolowitz, named after one of the characters on The Big Bang Theory, was curled up in his well-trimmed arms. His travel case was on top of the suitcase he brought along with him.
I made room for him to enter along with our cat, Wolowitz, who will sleep soundly in his arms. We are going to spend the new year in Brazil with my parents, I wanted to surprise them. The smile he gave me was brilliant, and the loving look he had on me was mesmerizing, I could see how much he loved me. I felt guilty that Riri wanted me to get back together with Tom.
I loved Bruce as much as I loved Tom, but not to the same intensity.
"I missed you. My family was asking why you didn't spend Christmas with us this year." - He said hurriedly, putting the white fur cat on the ground.
"Me too dear. I smiled at him and pulled him in for a loving kiss."
Wolowitz came straight up to me, sniffed me, then walked over to Amelia with the same kind of greeting and then disappeared down the apartment's hallway.
Bruce gave Amelia a small smile and followed Wolowitz's path.
He came back and said he was going out to buy hot chocolate because they had run out of hot chocolate here.
"DO YOU DATE?" - Riri suddenly appeared and screamed in my ear, I didn't get scared, I just stood there looking at the door where Bruce had just left.
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘐 𝘯𝘰𝘸?
𝘖𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘙𝘪𝘳𝘪 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘛𝘰𝘮, 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦.
𝘉𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦..
𝘎o𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘮𝘦...
"Get out of here Riri, I need to talk to her." - Amelia was present.
Riri was very angry, it was noticeable, but it came out anyway. I think.
"Come, sit here." - Amelia patted the couch.
I went to her and hugged her, we stayed in that position for a few seconds until I let go, we would have to talk quickly before Bruce returns.
"What should I do?" -I asked.
"Want an honest answer?"- I nodded. "I don't know, but you must know what you want, you can't force yourself to do something you don't want, and not let them force you, you know what you want, but you are afraid of getting hurt again." - She sighed. "Do you really love Bruce or are you used to liking him?"
𝘖𝘩, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘦.
I love him, of course, we've been together for 9 years, but I don't know what kind of love it is anymore. On the other hand, I know that he really loves me, he would do anything for me... The first years were difficult for me to adapt to another love, but as time went on, I realized that I was really falling in love with him. So maybe yes, I love him, our flame and connection is still there, and I can feel it!
"I love him." - At last I said
୨୧ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ୨୧
We were boarding the plane, about 3 hours had passed since my conversation with Amelia, after that, Bruce arrived and we got ready to go to the airport.
I was excited to see my parents again.
Riri would appear to me on the Mp3's screen, her glare on me for hiding something so important. Not that I forgot, I was so shocked and caught up in my thoughts about the magical creature that came out of the Mp3 player, that I didn't have time to say such a thing.
"What time are we going to board?" - Amélia asked, this is already the thousandth time.
“soon, i thin--” I was cut off by a voice echoing throughout the airport.
"Passengers on flight 767, proceed to gate 1 for boarding." – The female voice said, she repeated it twice for the unsuspecting.
"Let's go" I said getting up from the seat we were sitting on.
Amelia quickly got to her feet, Bruce soon after. Lucky for us, Amelia's mother offered to take care of our cat, I owe that woman a lot.
We headed towards the boarding gate, while we waited in the small queue that had formed, I wrapped my arms around Bruce's waist, he quickly wrapped his long arms around my shoulders, soon after placing a quick kiss on my head.
When it was our turn, we handed over our passports and went inside, we sat down, with me at the window, Amelia in the middle and Bruce in the hallway. Amelia wanted to be by my side, so Bruce kindly gave up his place for her.
𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺...
୨୧ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ୨୧
We landed on Brazilian soil, and the next day, Salvador's hot and stuffy air embraced me, not so gently, because we left an air-conditioned room.
We were all exhausted, but Bruce was excited, he was finally going to meet his in-laws who, until yesterday, only spoke via video call. We ordered an uber and it soon arrived.
Bruce had been learning Portuguese since the day I introduced my parents to our 2nd year of dating. He said he wanted to communicate with them, even though my parents knew English.
He was talking to the driver, Thank God the driver was kind enough to talk. Bruce's eyes sparkled like the ocean sparkled when it met the sun. I looked at him with tenderness and admiration, I really was in love with him.
It was still late afternoon, as soon as we arrived at the place, I called my mother and I was going to tell her that an package had arrived for her. Would she be surprised? yes, even because orders arrive in the morning. But what counts is the intention.
"SURPRISE!"- I said as soon as my mother opened the door. She immediately came hugging me.
Constructive criticism and supportive messages are always welcome, it motivates me to keep writing.

X-Men - Earth 18104
Time-line of the X-Men for my original universe Earth-18104. The events are based in different medias, like the movies, comics and series. Also, I included some of my OCs, as I literally just made this universe for them (and to change stuff I don't like I the stories).

Dona Maria Amélia (French: Marie Amélie Louise Hélène; 28 September 1865 – 25 October 1951) was the last Queen consort of Portugal as the wife of Carlos I of Portugal.
She was regent of Portugal during the absence of her spouse in 1895.
She was the eldest daughter of Prince Philippe, Count of Paris and Princess Marie Isabelle d'Orléans, and a "Princess of Orléans" by birth.
On 22 May 1886, Amélia married Carlos, Prince Royal of Portugal. He was the eldest son of King Luís I of Portugal and Maria Pia of Savoy.
As queen, however, Amelia played a very important role. With her elegance and cultured character, she influenced the Portuguese court.
Interested in eradicating the evils of the time, such as poverty and tuberculosis, she founded dispensaries, sanatoriums, economic kitchens and daycare centers, thus demonstrating her interest in the well-being of the Portuguese population.
However, his best-known works are the foundations of the Instituto de Socorros a Náufragos (in 1892); the Royal Coach Museum (1905); the Pasteur Institute in Portugal (Instituto Câmara Pestana) and the National Assistance for Tuberculosis.
On 1 February 1908, the royal family returned from the palace of Vila Viçosa to Lisbon. They traveled in the royal train to Barreiro and from there took a boat to cross the Tagus River.
They disembarked at Cais das Colunas in the principal square of downtown Lisbon, the Terreiro do Paço.
On their way to the Palace of Necessidades, while crossing the square and turning to the street, several shots were fired from the crowd by at least two men, among others.
The King died immediately, his heir Prince Dom Luís was mortally wounded and Infante Dom Manuel was hit in the arm, yet Queen Amélie surprisingly unharmed trying to defend her youngest son, the new king Manuel II, with the flower bouquet she kept in her hand.
Her reaction at the time of the regicide was to brandish the bouquet of flowers she was carrying in her hand and shout at one of the regicides to back down, an image that made the covers of newspapers across Europe.
The regicide of 1908 plunged her into deep grief, from which D. Amélia never fully recovered. She then retired to the Palácio da Pena, in Sintra, without ceasing, however, to try to support, by all means, her young son, King D. Manuel II.
Manuel II of Portugal was deposed by a military coup, later known as the 5 October 1910 revolution, which resulted in the establishment of the Portuguese First Republic. Queen Amélie left Portugal with the rest of the royal family, embarks in Ericeira on the yacht Amélia, heading for Gibraltar.
She lived decades of suffering in exile, between England and France. During the Second World War the Portuguese government of Salazar invited her to return to Portugal, but she declined the offer replying “In my misfortune, France welcomed me, I will not abandon her in her misfortune”.
She visited Portugal for the last time in 1945. In 1951 at the time of her death, her last words were “Take me to Portugal”. She is buried in the Bragança pantheon, in São Vicente de Fora.

In the midst of this tragedy, I decided to create a collection of porcelain roosters in her honor. Whether it exists or not will remain in the secret of History and Stories.
In France since ancient times, the rooster has appeared on Gallic coins and it became a symbol of Gaul and the Gauls.
But also in Portugal since the Middle Ages, with emphasis on the medieval legend of the Rooster of Barcelos.
The rooster is also considered the symbol of Portugal, both because of its rusticity, representing our countryside and because it is traditionally associated with positive things and virtues.
You can find it on many facades of secular churches in Portugal.
Queen Dona Amélia had a very special adoration for porcelain roosters and throughout her life in Portugal between the Palaces of Pena and Vila Viçosa, many evenings were spent drawing and painting , like King D. Carlos.
Her roosters drawn and painted by her were later reproduced by great Portuguese ceramists as unique pieces that were then part of her extensive collection and one of Queen Dona Amélia's best kept secrets.
"My Beautiful Baroque Roosters" as she called them were left behind at the Pena Palace, after her departure into exile, with the exception of a few specimens, which she took on the Dona Amélia Yacht on her initial trip to Gibraltar.
With time and the vicissitudes of the revolutionary times of the First Republic, Queen Dona Amélia's collection of Portuguese Baroque Roosters disappeared without a trace, until today when I present you a glimpse into this collection created in dreams...
Each Rooster has the name of a Portuguese municipality or locality.
I hope you like it ! : )
