Brazilian Night (yes, again)

The other day, Ronny was hanging out with Cris and Junio. Junio asked for my phone number. When Ronny asked me if it was OK, he also mentioned that Junio is currently in a 7-month relationship with an American (white boy), but that he wants out. I said I'd rather he ended it first, than get in the middle of a break-up. Thursday, Brad invited me to come along with them to a birthday party for Marcio. I said Sure, thinking there was a chance Mateus (now single) would show up. Saturday, Ronny found out I was going, and said he would have invited me earlier, but Cris said not to. I asked Ronny if he was directly invited by Marcio, and he said Yeah. So, I told him to invite whomever he wants and ignore Cris! But it was after the fact, anyway.

I hadn't eaten Saturday, so before leaving I grabbed a Go-Lean bar. I thought of swinging by Burger King, but decided that it was not that healthy, I am trying to lose weight, and there would be food. And, yes, there was food. Brazilian food is also not particularly low fat. The drinks, however, were fabulous. One tasted like strawberry Quick, one was like chocolate milk, and one was kind of cinnamon-y. And, yes, there was booze in them... The mixologist was Andre, a Brazilian dating Brad's white-boy good friend Rick. So, we were hanging out, and Ronny comes up to tell me Junio is coming. With the bf. OK... The bf just kinda hung out in the back corner. Since Brad, Rick, and I were all Brazilian-dating white boys, it would have been a natural option to come talk to us, and Ronny even pointed that out to him, but he just kept to himself. Then Marcel showed up - yummy hotness. Rick said he works with Andre, and it straight. Damn.

Eventually, we head over the club, and once again, I am out on the dance floor surrounded by Brazilians! Their friend Carlos joined up as well. He is very attractive, and a little taller and broad-shouldered than the others, which is kind of what I am more looking for these days. He was mildly flirty with me, now and then, but mostly was off and about. I do not know if he is interested in me, but I would agree to it! Junio was being a little flirty, as well, but had that awkwardness of trying not to do anything to tip his hand in front of the bf. Ronny told me later, tho, that Junio found some guy to make out with in the bathroom...

I was trying more to flirt with Carlos, since Brad had mentioned that Carlos is single and looking. I am more into that than the messed up Junio situation. Rick thought I should just go for Junio anyway. I did point out that if I were to be with someone, I would not want them cheating on me, and I already know Junio is capable of that. Rick said I was thinking too much. Maybe I am. Maybe I should just play around and not worry about anything remotely close to 'long term'.
