      Preface

      Because life will never be a straight line and there are moments that it swings, rises and falls, wavers. What seems to be predestined can change the course completely.

      Based on reality, the author tells a fictioned story that gets lost in time and the memories whose were there. A tale where the youth innocence is mixed with maturity of those who have went through the hardships of life.

      Chapter 1

      Alex always considered himself a simple guy, romantic and a little bit timid. He felt a little bit excluded and he thought that girls didn’t like him.

      To Alex, life was summed up to his small world, among studies, job and home, family and a quiet daily life in the little village where he lived. What he didn’t know was that there beyond those mountains that surrounded that little village, there was a huge world to discover.

      In the end of studies, that he alternated with the profession learning, Alex is invited to a trip, a group of friends who intended to travel abroad by car invited him with the intention to broaden his horizons, the guy, divided between going to an adventure and his mother cryings who didn’t want let him go, made a balance of his willing. His father, a discrete man, but with the thought ahead of his time, insisted for his son to go trying to make him to awake for the outside world. The shy guy ended up accepting his friends invitation and went to discovery.

      In a cold morning in May, Alex and his three friends, went to the boundaries in an old car, driven by a small guy who has just got his driver’s license a little bit more than six months ago, leaving behind the little world he knew, adventuring himself to its vastness.

      This trip provided him the discovering of other cultures, other ways of living and met Yolanda, a beautiful and elegant lady, with a peculiar irreverence, whom he immediately fell in love. In the days they spent together Alex matured, suddenly he was not that guy full of complex and shyness, that woman has turned him to a man, bold and intense, with the capacity of fulfilling his wishes.

      Yolanda deflowered that young man and turned him from holy to sinner, with her, he assumed that he was not who he thought he was.

      This is the story of Alex and Yolanda, a man who learn to discover all the details of a woman body, a woman who learnt to love a man for who he was and not for the flesh vices.

      Chapter 2

      The central city square was surrounded by buildings of 4 floors, all alike, in a Renaissance style. The arcades took over cafés and stores, It was in one of these cafés on the square that a group of friends got together to drink a beer in the end of the afternoon. The bar was called O galeão, in tribute of the ships of the achievement of 16 and 17 century. They have been there for some time when a woman got in and took a seat on the table next to them. They look superficially but continued in amenable chatting, there they felt free because it was a different language and they could dare to use a banal lexis,that 18 years old people used to talk. Alex stood up to go to the restroom, when he gets in the male one someone touches his arm, turn to that woman who has came in the café, throws her arms around his neck, pulling him next to her mouth, kiss him for his astonishment. Her tongue forces him to open his mouth and for some minutes he can not think, getting rigid with the face of the woman's face, wide eyes and open hands, without knowing if hugging her or putting her away of him. She looses him leaving him with mouth smudged of her lipstick and goes out cleaning her mouth with paper tissues. Alex turns to the sink to wash his lips immediately, when he arrives at the room takes a look at the place looking for the woman and can’t find her, goes to his friends table and asks if they have seen her, but nobody was paying attention, went to the balcony and asked the barman, but he didn’t see her leaving.

      He told his friends what it had happened, obviously everybody laughs at him for not taking advantage of the
