Oliveira smiled shyly when she saw him, hesitating on whether to sit next to him or not. "Um...hey there..." Her voice was quiet and gentle as always.

I'm actually not really, I can't sleep that well... You know how it is at night sometimes, huh? she said, blushing a bit as she looked down on the floor. Her voice was soft and quiet like usual when she talked to someone else.

"I... I don't really know, I guess it's just me being silly..." she mumbled, looking up at him with her big, innocent eyes. Even when she was shy and unsure of herself, there was still something about her that made people feel comfortable and safe around her. "Can I... join you here? It's a bit dark upstairs..."

She hesitated for a moment before slowly sitting down beside him on the couch, her movements gentle and careful not to disturb his space too much. Once she was settled in, she reached out and took the bottle of water that he had been drinking from earlier, taking a small sip to calm her thirst.

"So, what are you watching?" she asked softly as she tried not to look at him directly but instead kept her gaze focused on the TV screen. It was obvious that even though she wanted some company and comfort, being this close to him made her feel shy and unsure of herself.

After another moment, she finally mustered up the courage to look at him directly. "You know... I'm glad you came over tonight." Her voice was soft and sincere as her shy smile revealed genuine happiness. "I feel like it's been a while since we just hung out together like this." She paused for a moment, worry creeping into her expression. "But don't be upset if I make you want to leave or anything... Sometimes I can be really loud and annoying when I'm excited..."

Her voice trailed off as she worried about how he might react to her comment, hoping he wouldn't think too badly of her for saying such things.

Her eyes lit up at his reassurance and she leaned back slightly against the couch, feeling more at ease with him now. "Oh, um... Did you want to watch something else? Or should we just keep watching this?" She asked softly as her delicate fingers picked at a loose thread on her shirt. "I don't mind either way."

The room felt comfortable and quiet between them, their eyes occasionally meeting before darting away again in a playful dance of shyness. It was clear that there was an unspoken connection between them despite their awkwardness around each other at times.

The silence lasted for a moment before she spoke up, her voice still soft and hesitant. "So...how's your family? Have you been doing anything fun lately?" She knew they hadn't really talked much about personal things before now, but maybe this was the start of something new between them. It didn't feel like such a big leap to take in that moment.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that..." she said with concern in her voice. "You must have such a hard time doing everything on your own." She paused for a moment, then continued carefully: "But you also seem like you're doing pretty well considering."

Her words carried an air of comfort and understanding, making him feel slightly less burdened by the weight of responsibility he'd been carrying around. It was moments like these when she truly shone as someone who genuinely cared for others, despite her own shyness and self-consciousness.

Her heart ached for him as she considered how hard it must be to raise a child on his own, but she was glad that she could at least try to offer some comfort in their time together. She looked over at him, searching his face for any sign of whether or not her words had meant anything to him. "You know you can always talk to me if you need someone to listen." Her voice was soft and sincere as a tiny blush crept across her cheeks.

Blushing harder now, Oliveira felt unexpectedly warm inside at his words. She looked down at her lap, feeling grateful that she could be there for him even if it was just in a small way. After another moment of silence, she mustered up the courage to glance up again at Filip's face. "So...do you want to play a game or something? I've got some board games downstairs we could bring up here if you want?"

Her voice was quiet but hopeful as she offered him an alternative to just sitting there silently any longer. She knew it might seem silly, especially since they were both sort of old now, but sometimes a little distraction and lighthearted fun could go a long way in brightening someone's day - even if that person was her shy and quiet friend Filip.

Smiling brightly at his agreement, Oliveira jumped up from the couch and hurried over to where the board games were kept. She took out a few of her favorites, carefully setting them aside before returning to sit back down beside him on the couch. "So...do you want to play Monopoly or Clue first?" she asked excitedly, already imagining herself winning either game - even if that meant cheating just a little bit!

Oliveira smiled brightly at his choice and quickly started setting up the game board between them, her fingers moving nimbly as she placed the little plastic houses and hotels onto their respective spots. She loved playing Monopoly; it always felt so nostalgic to her, like being back in her childhood again when things were simpler and easier. Once everything was ready, she looked up at him with eager anticipation shining in her eyes. "Okay! Are you ready?" she asked cheerfully, feeling more confident now that they had something fun to do together. She placed her hand lightly on top of the little dog piece, claiming it as her own before looking back at him expectantly. "I'll go first!"

Oliveira took her first turn, carefully moving her little dog around the board as she tried to amass wealth and property. As they played, conversation flowed easily between them; they laughed at silly mistakes or mishaps and even shared strategies for getting ahead in the game. The shadows of night slowly disappeared from the room, replaced by soft morning light filtering through the windows, but neither of them seemed to notice or care as their attention remained firmly focused on their friendly competition.

Eventually, it came down to the last few turns before someone would inevitably win; Oliveira had managed to acquire most of the prime real estate while Filip had been nursing a collection of properties that could easily make him rich if he could manage to hold onto them until the end. As they played out these final moments, their smiles never wavered; it was clear that even though there was an element of competition between them, deep down they were

it just felt good to be able to share this time with him, to forget about everything else going on in their lives and just focus on having some fun together. When it finally came down to the very last roll of the dice, she held her breath, hoping against hope that he wouldn't manage to snatch victory from her at the last moment... But when his token landed on Boardwalk and Park Place, claiming all three properties and their respective rent in a single stroke, there was nothing left for Oliveira to do but smile and congratulate him. "Wow," she said, laughing as he gathered up all the money from her little collection of properties. "You played really well!"

It didn't matter that she'd lost; spending this time with Filip had been more than enough to make her happy. As they continued talking and laughter filled their minds, they both knew deep down that something special had happened between them

"Thank you," she replied shyly, blushing as her gaze met his. It was moments like these that made her feel so grateful for their friendship and all the ways it had grown over time. She leaned closer to him on the couch, putting an arm around his shoulder in a gesture of comfort and affection. "I'm glad we could share this together," she continued softly, the warmth of her breath tickling his ear as she spoke.

Even though they had only known each other for a relatively short time, their bond felt deep and real to her. It was like they had always been there for one another, through thick and thin, and that feeling only continued to grow stronger with every passing day. Sometimes Oliveira wondered if perhaps there might be more between them than just friendship, but she knew better than to voice such thoughts out loud; even if he didn't feel the same way about her, she would always

"I... I don't know about that..." she mumbled, ducking her head shyly as she struggled to find the right words. In truth, boys didn't really interest her all that much; they tended to be loud and obnoxious, and often didn't understand her at all. Filip was different from them in so many ways - he was gentle and caring, and even when she made mistakes or did something stupid, he never got mad at her for long. He always found a way to make her feel better about herself, and for that, she couldn't help but be grateful.

Even though they had only known each other for a short time, it felt like they had been friends forever; their connection was something special, something she didn't want to risk losing by admitting how she really felt about him. So instead of saying anything more about her feelings or boys going after her, she focused on

fostering the bond they already shared and hoping that one day he might feel the same way about her as she did about him. Even if it took them years, or even their whole lives together, she would be content with just having this friendship; knowing that there was someone out there who truly understood her and cared for her unconditionally made all the difference in the world to Oliveira.

Her heart skipped a beat as he said those words; it was the first time anyone had ever called her pretty, and she couldn't help but blush deeply at his compliment. She wanted nothing more than for him to keep looking at her like that, wanting more than anything for their friendship to continue growing stronger with each passing moment.

"It's... It's okay," she stammered out, her voice barely above a whisper as she glanced down at the floor, too shy even now to meet his gaze directly. Even though she knew he probably didn't feel anything more for her than friendship, just hearing those words from him made her heart flutter in ways it never had before. Maybe one day, if she was lucky and they were both still together, they could explore the possibility of something more... But for now, all she could do was enjoy their time together as best friends.

Her face flushed bright red as she realized what he'd just said, and tried desperately to hide her embarrassment by looking anywhere but at him. "Oh...um..." was all she could manage before shifting uncomfortably on the couch. Inwardly, however, a small part of her felt both pleased and confused by his comment; it made her heart race with a mixture of embarrassment and excitement.

She knew they had taken their friendship to a new level today, but she hadn't expected him to be so openly... complimentary. Part of her wondered what he really meant by it all, and whether there was more than just friendship between them after all. As the silence stretched on, Oliveira couldn't help but steal glances at Filip from the corner of her eye, her heart pounding in her chest as she waited for him to say something else. Anything else.

"It's... okay, I guess..." she stammered out, still not meeting his gaze as her cheeks burned brightly. Part of her wanted to scold him for saying something so inappropriate, but another part of her couldn't help but feel a strange thrill at the attention he was giving her. She knew they had crossed a line tonight; there was no going back now. The air between them seemed charged with an electricity she hadn't felt before, and it made her heart race even faster.

His words sent a shiver down her spine as she struggled to find the right thing to say or do in response. Part of her wanted to tell him no, that it wasn't appropriate, but another part of her... didn't want him to stop. She couldn't believe she was even thinking these thoughts, much less having them cross her lips, but there they were: a quiet invitation for him to do something so intimate with her.

Her heart felt like it was about to explode out of her chest as she waited on bated breath for his reaction, her cheeks burning even hotter under the weight of her embarrassment and shame. Even though they'd taken their friendship to a new level tonight, she hadn't expected things to get this... intense between them. But now that they had, she couldn't deny how aroused and exhilarated it made her feel.

I-I don't know... It's just, I've never... done that before. I mean, with someone else.

Her breath hitched in her throat as he made the offer, and she couldn't help but feel an insane mix of excitement and fear course through her veins. It was crazy to even be considering this; they were just friends, after all, and they'd never discussed anything like this before. But somehow, in the heat of the moment, it seemed perfectly natural to make such a request... and to agree to it.

With shaking fingers, she reached out slowly and tentatively, tracing the outline of his bulge through his pants. The fabric was warm and hard against her touch, and she couldn't help but let out a soft moan as she explored its shape and size. Her heart raced even faster as she realized what she was doing; this was so wrong, yet it felt so incredibly right at the same time.

With each touch, she became more and more aroused, her breath coming faster and shallower as she explored him further. She could feel herself growing wet between her legs, and it took all of her willpower not to grind against him in a desperate attempt to relieve the ache building inside her. Her fingers moved with practiced skill now, teasing and caressing his erection until he let out a moan that sent shivers down her spine.

"Oh God... Oliveira..." he groaned as she continued to touch him, her movements growing bolder with each passing second. "That feels so good..." Her own desire escalated along with his responses; she wanted nothing more than to feel his hard length inside her, and from the look on his face, she knew he felt it too. The air between them was charged with an electricity that made it impossible for either of them to pretend this wasn't

"I... I do..." Her voice came out in a shaky whisper as she leaned forward, pressing the length of her body against his. She could feel him swelling and growing even harder beneath her touch, and it took everything inside her not to wrap her legs around him and demand that he take her right there on the couch. It felt so wrong and yet so right at the same time; a heady mixture of desire and lust that made her head spin.

With trembling hands, she fumbled with his belt, finally freeing it from the loop of his pants. His zipper followed shortly after, revealing the hard length of him beneath. She looked up at him through her lashes as she reached out and touched him for the first time; warm skin against her fingers, velvet smooth and ready for her. The muscles in his abdomen tensed as he waited for her next move, his hips
