Raf and Jo

Rafaele and Jovana have known each other since primary school. Raf grew up to be a football playing party hard dawg. Jo did great in school, excelled in most major fields and only started partying as a university student. They lost contact then. Desiring different lifestyles and social groups and .. drugs maybe. Raf knew how to get it, you know, the girls, the attention. He was very playful, downplayed his own intelligence and lived off his reputation. Jo, having spent her teens as a wallflower, was a late bloomer, getting first waves of attention in her twenties. Which totally overwhelmed her. And made her forever shy. And taught her about the game out there.

When they met again they were both very attractive.

It really shocked Jo to see Raf so deeply inbedded in life and its celebration. Like, Rafa, you having all this fun and thats cool but what you gonna do when the fun is over? Or you need somebody you can trust? And Raf was like, yo, Jo, you fine and all that, headgame strong, but how you gonna play when your heart start calling out? Iz your brain gon kill yo heartz??

Jo once told me that Rafa completed her that way. In reminding her to let go off trained, learned, mouthed manners and unearth the heart's own speaking. It's what challenged her enough to accept him as evenly matched.

Raf, on the other hand, never talked to anyone about anyone or anything remotely challenging. So we don't know for sure about his match. We just like watching them together. Its really a special thing, a bond, a thing, a ship. Raf and Jo.
