Call it what you want | João Felix

Chapter sixteen

  A week after me and João started dating my manager James called me.

  "Hey August, how's it been?" he asked me

  "Oh it's been great James, how about you?" I answered. I didn't really want to tell him about me and João, I felt like it was a bit too early

  "I wanted to talk about your album, the album that you promised me" James said

  "Oh, well. It's doing good. I already have three songs ready. Like fully ready" I answered him and and walked around the living room

  "When will you be ready to release it? Remember it's been three months since your last album so you still have time. But I need to know when you're ready" James told me

  "I think I'll have it ready in two months or so. I will need to record it also so I would say three months and I'll release it" I counted in my head

  "Oh yeah okay, thanks. Actually how's it with João? You both together?" James asked like he already knew

  "Well, maybee" I answered not wanting to tell him

  "Okay okay, you don't have to tell me. But I have to go, bye August!" James said

  "Bye bye!" I said and ended the call.

  I walked back to the living room and was met with a question from João.

  "Can I go out with my friends in an hour babe?" João asked me and looked me in the eyes

  "Sure you can!" I said wanting to be  nice "Just text me when you are on the way home okay?"

  "Of course" he told me and went up the stairs. I assume to get ready.

  I went to the couch and sat down. I turned on some show that was going on the sixth channel. It wasn't that interesting but I had nothing to do. In about half an hour I hear João get down the stairs.

  "Hey Gus? I'm going out" he called me. I fastly walked to him and hugged him goodbye

  "Goodbye João have a great time" I told him in the hug

  "Goodbye my love" he said and kissed my cheek. I blushed as he went out the house and I  waved him goodbye.

  Now I was left alone again. what to do now. I decided to look at some social media. But it quickly bored me. Then I remembered that I promised James that I would finish my album.

  So I went upstairs to grab my notebook and I went to the piano room. But today I didn't feel like writing a piano song. I got my guitar and sat down. I really wanted to write another song about João but no ideas came up.

  João reminded me of the sun. Whenever he came in a room it already became a lighter and happier. And ever since I met him he's the only thing I've seen in my mind and all around me. Because of that I got an idea. He was my daylight

And now I see daylight, I only see daylight.

  This was more a lyric about how I felt when I first met him. He was the only thing I really could talk about and see. I always saw him in my mind no matter what. And I felt like a brand new person when I met him.

I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
I don't wanna think about anything else now that I thought of you

  This was perfectly how I would describe my feelings towards him. After like and hour the song was done. And just after I finished I got a lyric idea.

  On the way home I wrote a poem
You say "What a mind"
This happens all the time

  It reminded me of that one time I sent my song lyrics that I called a poem back then and he said that exact thing. That was what I loved in him. He not only praised my art but also me as a person

  I had no idea of time in that room, but I heard the front door open. I realised João would've finally been home. I went outside the room and saw him walking in with a blonde woman. He and her looked a bit drunk but I couldn't really tell.
 
  "Hey Gus!" he said my name happily

  "What the fuck?" I was too shocked to even say anything else
