Downtown

I met Érica on Orkut too, back when I was an intern. I started following her and charming the passista on social media, and she was always receptive to compliments in the DM. I adored her like a Goddess, and she accepted. Some time later I recognized her downtown, approached her and sent a message. That was the hook for us to meet and have a lightning-fast adventure.

Everything she lacked in her face she made up for in her body. We walked around downtown Rio and everyone stared, maybe at the contrast between the tall black woman and the skinny white guy next to her. She was a swinger, insanely hot, and possibly the first time I toyed with the idea of having something broken in me. It happened before Dona Olga. Money was tight back then, and that bothered me: I couldn’t afford to go out with her, not because she was expensive, but because I was broke.
