Chapter VALENTINA TOMMASO

I realized he was upset and I didn't know why. And turning to look in his living room I saw the piece of cake I kept for him and shook his head not believing it would be for that.

He was very sentimental, anything he already changed the mood and was very bipolar this man. But pretend, don't see and work normally and I looked again at his office and saw that he was angry. He spent the day locked in that office and sometimes water, coffee came in and he knocked on the table. It was the most that happened. I almost went to talk to him. I even got to the office door, looked at my friend and she shook her head that didn’t, and I went crazy to come in to find out what was going on with him. But I thought I'd get back to my desk. I went back to my desk and watched from afar to see what so much he did inside that office. After what happened at his grandmother's house, we stayed away, arrived at night, he just locked himself in the room, didn't want to talk, didn't want to say anything. I didn't make a point either. Then, in the morning, I thought it best to come alone, leaving you in your world.

But when I left, he was still asleep and now he's angry, I still look at my phone, no calling me to go to his office. Then I looked again at my friend, and I said,

- Please, let's have a drink before we go home, I need to talk. I still look at the office and see that he walked from side to side and gave a malicious smile. What hatred I knew was another woman. "But what to be today if not I'm going to go crazy, Carol.

"It took a while, let's go now. I've already finalized my contract and so I'll tell you who I'm flirting with.

I look at his office and I wanted to go out there and scream and say a lot of things, but I didn't have that right, so I put my stuff together and leave leaving my drawings on the table.

When we got to the bar next to the office, I already sat crested, and she smiled and already let go of what I didn't even expect.

"She's involved with Enzo. She let go at once and I get scared and turned the drink and look at her. "I've noticed you've been sighing a lot when he walks by and when he calls you in his office you go like a crazy, friendly teenager!

"I... I stuttered and had to tell me what was choking me and she's my best friend. "I married him, that's the truth.

She turned over the glass of booze and shut up turning another one without believing and hit me.

What do you mean, you crazy? Why are you making this up? She didn't stop talking and drinking and me looking everywhere. Have you ever had sex?

Carol, please... Mine is sick and needed treatment and he needed a wife to be the new manager of the company and then we put the useful to the pleasant.

"Wait Valentina. I'm scared I realized he was asking questions about you a while ago, and I also saw that he looked at you differently a few months ago. He planned all this.

I told her everything and I saw it was time to get back home and I didn't want to be in a fight with him and I feel like he was messing with me.

"The biggest problem is that we're fighting a lot and for little. I want it to work, my mom needs the treatment.

"Stop being naughty and say you liked the hot guys.

"What can I do, Carol, to please you?

"A naked stripper with a tie and give it to him as a gift.

She was talking so many ideas and I laughed up. And she holds me.

"Where are you going?

"Make him a candlelit dinner. And so, we stopped fighting.

"Good luck... You're going to need it.

I ran out to buy the ingredients, but this time I'm not going to buy shrimp. I ran providence to make the best food for him, as he loved, a pasta would be a pasta and a good wine and so we talked, I do not believe it is the cake.

And I looked at the time, changed my clothes, let go of my hair, put on a perfume, flavored candles, new flowers, music, and white wine waiting for him that took a while and decided to open the white wine and wait for him. That he'd show up, that's all. I called, I texted him, and he didn't pick up either. I thought it was weird, is it because he did it and what was going on?

I sent the last message, "Enzo, what's going on? It's all right." And I decided, erase. And I called again. And it fell into the message box. I just hung up.

I wanted to forget what I was feeling for him and Am I that weak? But it's the need for being betrayed and I'm already getting involved with another naughty male again. He must be with someone else and I here wanting to please him.

I still look at that table all tidy and my will was to throw everything on the floor, but I controlled, and I look again, and I snapped a picture and sent it to Carol and went to the room. I should have known he was going to leave me alone after avoiding me all day.

And I went to my bed leaving him with another woman.

ENZO

I just leave the office towards the restaurant and confess almost give up, yet I stayed in the car looking at the phone and remembering Valentina cooking with my grandmother and laughing. But I needed to face my past at once and that's what I was going to do. And when I walked in, she was waiting for me and gave a beautiful smile. It was a friendly dinner. She told of her travels, Paris to Greece. Everywhere she went, where she left to go, where she thought of me and when she counted, I stayed her every gesture, how important it was in my life, how much we lived together, how our vacations, our travels. And she's still so pretty, so smiling,

I thought you weren't coming, Enzo.

"After everything that's happened, we're still trying to keep in touch, but you're just gone.

"I thought it best and your family is very difficult for your mother. She didn't want you single.

"She doesn't want to; she doesn't have to. But I see you're doing very well.

"Yes, I am accomplished. I was able to carry out my projects, but I missed you. I heard you got married. I knew she'd ask.

"It was so fast; I took my family by surprise. That's not how they wanted it to be a surprise.

"And how did your parents react?

"They fought and walked away.

"Yes, I see you're also really enjoying married life, and you've changed a lot.

I keep looking at her as she talks and I realized that she came back very quickly when I heard about the wedding, I found it strange. I still looked at her again and gave her a kind of dull smile. And looking at my phone, there were a lot of calls and messages from Valentina. And the last one was in half an hour.

"We could go out dancing, what do you think kill the longing? When we got lost in the little bar and the ballad, I'd love it. Back in that little bar, where it's our favorite, what do you think?

I looked at the phone again. And I saw a message, her phone calls, I couldn't do that. I shook his head again, and for the first time in my life, I told her, "No" because of someone else. That was the truth. I looked at her again, said:

"I won't be able to. I have an appointment, but another day who knows.

I left faster, paid the bill, and left her at the hotel. And I left home again. I had to get home as soon as possible and see what happened, Valentina, and why would she call me so many times? And send a message. I thought it was weird. Something happened to her. I came home, nervous, angry. And desperate and when I ran, I opened the door and got scared.

She prepared all a candlelit dinner with flowers and the best wine. I never imagined she'd do that, and I’m still mad at her in the afternoon. I'm a really thick one.

I didn't believe it; I look again and I see the cake on the table as dessert and she prepared everything with affection. I sat down without believing that she had done it and still ate the piece of cake and shaking my head without believing that I had thrown it away in Cecilia.

I ate the cake and walked looking around town and felt that I needed to apologize to her and after so much time and friendship. I prepared and snuggled in her bed hugged her saying I arrived and thanking her for dinner.
