Vida local louco (Long TR)
i was in fortaleza in august and met nomi, kept in contact, etc. now i'm back and she came to my place around noon the day after i arrived. she doesn't speak english, i speak very little portuguese (tho it's getting better), but we get buy on spanish/portuguese. nomi says that she's trying to give up the life: hasn't been to mambo, zipi, etc for a month, got a new/better/higher-paying day job, etc. this girl loves cerveja, but says only after 4pm (something about not drinking "during the day" even though 4pm is still day, i think). other than food, drinks, shopping, etc, i'm not paying her for sex this time around.
after a quick tumble in the sack to reacquaint ourselves, we went to lunch and to unlock an iphone 3g i brought for her (...anyone coming to brasil and meeting up with a girl may want to bring an older generation iphone. this one cost me $100 in the us, but similar models cost $600usd here because of 100% import taxes - a new iphone 3gs that we saw in iguatemi in august cost $900usd! no way i was buying that, but the cheapy used iphone from the us made a great impression on her...)
last time, i made it only to iracema, beira mar, and praia futuro. centro is what you'd expect - lots of people, lots of hawkers, activity, etc. lunch in a self-serve (by weight) place. while waiting for the iphone unlocking work to be done, she rolls up my sleeve and talks about how she adores my tattoo. last time, she said she was going to get it. i ask if she wants to go get a version of it and she smiled wide and said "sim, sim, sim" - off we go to a shopping area that was filled with tattoo and piercing places. we negotiated with one place - they wanted r100 which she said was too much. got to the place she got her last tattoo and they did it for r60. picture attached.
ok, so we shop around a bit more - the iphone unlocking took forever, like 3 hours. she looks at some makeup, we're a little bored, and she looks at her watch - magic time: 4pm and time to have some beers up in the little "food court" area. finally get the iphone and head to my apartment around 6pm. she says we can party in the apartment, but she doesn't want to go out - no mambo. cool by me. i had a 12-pack in the fridge and nomi tells me it's not going to be enough! we start drinking, listening to some music on the tv and youtube, smoking cigarettes. about 6 beers and and hour or so in she showers, we have another roll in the hay and a beer together and she says she wants to go out tonight after all, just not to the "puta-rias" (or something like that - her words, said with a laugh). she then lights up and says something about going to her friend's then to clubes "normal, normal, normal!"
so we head out and go to porto do iracema down the block, and apartment building very close the the action spots. she wryly asks me if i know the place, and i explain that my friend bijou from last time stayed here. she says that its where many of the girls have shared apartments so they can work easier, etc. we go up to one of these. it's like a 2 bedroom and there were literally 10 girls in there. some her friends, others she doesn't know. she disappears in the back talking to one of her friends (later, i found out they hadn't talked in weeks and she'd been trying to reach this girl without response, etc). some of the girls get me a beer and ask me to sit, and they all come around asking me questions (name, from, speak portuguese). girls would show up out of the back rooms, some with a pack of smokes to share, others just carrying their beer and smoking. most of the girls were 5-6s with one pretty hot but very young-looking one who was sort of off by herself in the kitchen chain smoking. it was quite a scene. we leave after 30 minutes or so. they asked for beer money for later. i gave r20 and they seemed happy.
off we go to a cab. at the time, i think we're going to some local club in centro. traffic is a nightmare and we finally get out and turn the corner into centro and it's a huge festival. festa natal. the entire square is wall to wall people, the buildings are filled with lights (angels, christmas trees, streaming lights of green and red and gold...), the square is ringed by food carts with all kinds of different stuff. the coolest thing i saw there was right away as we walked in - one of the old brick buildings had like 6 stories, with the facing wall having 5 "windows" across. the side of the building was also partially visible and it had more like 10 "windows" across. turns out, these "windows" are open to the air and more like a balcony under an archway. in time to the music, each "window" was filled with people part of the show, dressed in red, swaying in time to the music. looked like something out of a dr. seuss book - surreal effect. i wish i would've brought my camera, but nomi had told me not to, and to wear only flip flops, store my watch in the safe, etc. i guess she was worried about "ladrones" because, again, the place was mobbed with people.
we force our way through, grab some beers from a corner guy. trying to give r2, i accidentally pull out r100 and they all laugh at the gringo. we're at this for 90 minutes or so, drinking probably 4 grande beers each in that time. she's got to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord134][CodeWord134][/url], and we wait in a long line for the porta-potties. nomi's fairly drunk by now, and she burned some fellow partier with her cigarette while dancing samba to the christmas music, now she almost gets in a fight when some of the girls in front of her in line let a pregnant woman go in front. nomi then jumps to the front and goes in when the pregnant woman comes out. luckily, though they pounded the door some, the other girls let it go.
next, some food from one of the stands, but nomi spots a guy bringing around tequila shots and orders us 3 - one each, one to share. didn't need that. cuervo regular. ugh. at least he had salt and lime. while we're eating shish kabobs and fries and, of course, drinking more beer, nomi is chatting away with a couple about tattoos and whatever else and she gets some food down the wrong pipe. ugly scene of choking, coughing, me thinking i need to try the heimlich on her (never done it), running eye-makeup, tears, mucous, the whole 9 yards. a good minute of this. finally, she clears it and gets help cleaning up from me and the people she was talking with. the festival is ending, too (it's about 10:30 i think), and it's definitely time to head out. taxi's were impossible. we tried for 15 minutes and nomi comes up with the "brilliant" idea of getting two moto-cabs (basically you ride on the back of a motorcycle with the driver). she tells them r5 each. oh shit. i'm a big guy, 250lbs. the drivers each tell me to go to the other one. of course they want nomi as a passenger not me. the unlucky loser finally tells me to get on, and off we go! shit, shit, shit, these guys are whizzing in and out of traffic at pretty high speeds, we're bottoming out as we go over crests and bumps because of the weight. wow. absolutely nuts. maybe only 5 minutes, but i never want to do that again.
we stop early. where are we? right by mambo and cafe del mar. i screw up again with only r100 to pay the moto guys so nomi goes to get change while the guys shake their heads at me. we settle, and nomi, pretty wasted now, starts walking us towards forro mambo. i ask her "didn't you not want to go here?" she says no problem, just drink and dance. problem is, it's only about 11pm and it's not open yet. so, we go off to zipi. it's only 11, but it was packed already. most tables were taken, but there was one near the stripper pole and mirrors, which i grabbed. tons of hot girls there. hope to get a chance to sample on another night. nomi spends a long time in the bathroom (she was still just in her shorts and tee shirt from being together all day - she didn't bring a bag) because her hair and makeup was in bad shape from the choking incident. i order beer from the same waitress as in august, we chat a bit. i see lots of familiar faces, and i'm hoping diana, another girl i kept in touch with but whom i didn't tell i was coming, doesn't show up. i did see julia, a little spinner from last time, but we haven't kept in touch, so it was just a nice hello how are you. nomi comes out and she's in the mood for dancing.... and making out... and pole dancing ... and biting my neck and face ... and tonguing me/making out a ton more. for any of you there last night, i apologize for the way-too-much pda. man, i thought she was going to do me right there in front of the mirrors at the back of zipi bar. every chance i get, i'm telling her, let's go home and make love because by now it was best to get out of public. we finish our beers and, thankfully, grab a cab and are whisked back to my apartment around 12:30.
first thing, cold shower. then hot sex for an hour. awesome, uninhibited, animal sex with all the noise and mess associated with such. it was intense! next, beer! damn, this girl can't stop drinking beer. and smoking. two packs between us throughout the night (she doesn't smoke until after dark - about 5:30pm - another funny time-based rule for nomi). i don't even smoke at home. feeling it now. soon enough, nomi wants to go out and grab some food. says it'll be quick. we walk all the way back (10 minute walk) to one of the little restaurants outside forro mambo. normal night-time scene out there: girls everywhere in and out of mambo and cafe de mar, homeless guys asking change, vendors with trinkets, etc. she orders us beer (of course) and two big bob sandwiches (like a burger with ham and egg and cheese - perfect order, actually, for all the drinking we'd done). we're watching ufc and she's hopping off to talk to a girl here or there that she knows. i notice diana sitting at a table behind me. i'm sure she saw me, but hoping not. ok, done and walking back, passing the transvestite and/or transsexuals along the way back, including a scene with some local guy, the police, and a transsexual arguing about something. he probably found something in "her" pants he didn't expect ...
home at last. bed time. not so fast. nomi wants to drink more beer. i tell her to go for it, but i'm going to shower and bed. she pouts a little but is fine. she's watching musica tv and drinking/smoking and i drift off. not sure how much later, i wake up to nomi climbing on top of me whispering "eu quente. eu te quero, agora!" shit. not because she wants me, but i'm out of condoms, and she doesn't have any either. we're playing and moaning, but i'm trying to cool it off. she keeps whispering/moaning "eu quente" and she's on top and she slips it in. i tell her we can't, she says "eu quente" so i go with it, but pull out in plenty of time and unload. ok. done. what a day/night. this morning, she had a bad hangover, didn't remember getting food or our last little quente session together.
she left a couple hours ago, but said she'll be back at 9pm tonight. i may have a hard time slipping this one and checking out the scene a bit more, at least until after her birthday (which is monday). she has to go back to work tuesday, but i'm sure the garota gossip network will have my ass in hand for her when i get with another girl next week. assim é a vida.
