I hear the word "promoted" I almost jumped into his arms and still look at his smile and was trying to disguise the joy. I knew I'd made it, because I'm good at what I do... not because I was with him or because I married him, she gave a smile. I left the room when I was hugged by my real friends. Antunes and Carol. And we had the biggest party, we hugged and laughed together.
― So today we're going to celebrate?
― Of course, I do. And it's all on my own.
― Let's get your ass up, guys. Carol said laughing and looking at the crowd of the huge room. ― Now we have a real boss.
He walked by my side and looked, smiled, walked into his office. But he wasn't content. I knew he wanted to say something, but I wasn't going to be able to call him, but I will. Still, as he entered the room, he came to the door and said:
― Valentina, please, can we talk for a minute?
― I've just been promoted and here comes a scolding. I said, I fixed the skirt instead. My vest on top of my blouse and I went into his office, when I came in, then I closed the door. Then I saw he didn't look great. ― Something has happened.
― You're going out to celebrate, but I forgot to let you know that tomorrow we have a trip to my grandmother's house. Unfortunately, there's no way you won't go.
― Seriously soon, tomorrow? I shake my head and laugh. ― I wanted to invite you to come with us to drink, but I know it would be impossible. But here's the invitation in case you want to come by for a tequila with your new boss.
― Congratulations deserved.
― Thank you, Thank you. I'll see you later.
I went out to the crowd all happy. I knew he wasn't going to, but I made the invitation anyway, when we arrived at the bar were already full animation round for everyone is the crowded counter with all the drinks.
― You are the only friends I have. Thank you.
― You deserved Valentina, it was the best presentation and look I’m your competitor, but it was wonderful.
― I spent the whole night doing it, I needed it. Now I want to see everybody keep saying it's because I'm boss. All on top of the boss, that's why I won.
― Surely, they will talk, know how they are, I know, but I ignore.
― And you can bet you’re going to talk. He said he was pulling me.
We drink between drinks, smiles and dancing. I went out to the dance floor with Antunes and us together and we're giving the fun to the party, and I wanted him to come in the background, if he came here, it would be so different, I don't know. It was like he supported me, but I know he won't, but it was just a spin and I almost fell when I raised my face.
When I turned, he was at the door and still gave a smile, lowered his face, and sat at the end of the counter and knew he had come to my celebration. And why not call? Antunes already looks and smiling said:
― Now that you're really going to talk.
― What the hell... I scream out. ― Let them speak.
I approach him and I already feel like everything was different between us, something was already changing and the happiness I was, I wanted everyone to know that I could do everything today and why not stay with my boss?
― Don't you want to drink with us? It's all on my own today.
― Seriously, you mean you're spending it on your own?
―Yes, thank you for coming and even knowing that tomorrow we will be news in the company.
― I can’t stay. But we can have a dose together like this and our little mischievous celebration. We shut up and he turned the drink and smiled. It was a relaxed atmosphere between conversations and laughter, he ended up accepting, he was wonderfully perfect, all smiling, and we turned the drink and I realized that he was not so cold.
― Congratulations, you deserved it. He'd come out and stare at me. ― It’s not taking long, we travel early.
I expected more than that and I'm not going to lie. I think I'm getting used to having this man around.
When I arrived, he had already gone to sleep, it was better so I was excited and needy and then I would regret it. I came in and I barely took off my clothes and threw it in my bed without a bath, with nothing. I was drunk, tired, but on the other hand, happy. I didn't even think of anything sleeping stuck to the pillow. I woke up in the morning with my phone vibrating under my body, as every morning I took a deep breath, took it under neath me and I looked again and it was time to get up. But I turn to the corner.
The strong breath and I'm dying to sleep again when I heard his screams and what does this man want at this time in the middle of Saturday? I open my mouth smelling of drink and grumble covering my head.
― Valentina? Get up...
― What the hell...
― You're going to slow me down. Even my grandmother's house has a lot of ground.
― Are you sure about that? We'd better go later, I'll sleep more.
― Now, because if we're late, you're not going to get the best room right now. Now, right now.
Didn't I believe all this for a room? I got up in a bad mood fixing my hair in place. And the tequila destroyed it.
― Good morning, drunk...
― What's so great about it? I'm done.
I was hungover, wearing sunglasses on my face and wanting my bed, but I got in the car, and he was all excited. It was family day and imagine I in the middle gives all powerful Family Moretti I shook my head and for me I stayed at home. But I played my wife just like he was doing his with my mother who was already loving him.
― How can you eat snacks at this hour? And still drink soda. I kept filling my mouth and looking and shoved it in his mouth and licked my fingers. ― What about your health? He said with his mouth full and laughed throwing the snack everywhere. ― It ruined my German leather. Look...
I laughed and shoved it in his mouth, who loved laughing and spat everything on me. And we looked like two kids. ― Look what you've done?
I increased the music and started singing and dancing and he laughed at the mess and when he lowered his eyes, he saw that the navy-blue line shirt was dirty and complained non-stop.
― How old are you, Valentina?
― Enough to be happy.
He smiled and seemed to be fun and so the trip became lighter and we didn't take long to get to his grandmother's huge mansion. And I knew it was going to be hard these days here with the superb family.
― We come and prepare because they will all be and if you do not want to say anything of it little.
― I know only what is necessary.
And when we got out of the car, we talked and ended up laughing unintentionally and I ran into his grandmother staring at me and he ran to hug her. And I expect her to get my attention and when I look at his mother looking angry and look at him.
― What was eating soiled the whole Enzo shirt?
― Snacks for breakfast. She'll come to her face and his grandmother hugs me, takes me into the house and talked nonstop.
― Grandma, has Henrique arrived yet?
― Of course, you don't know that he's always the last to arrive.
― You saw Valentina, so I wanted to come early, and the couple's room is mine. He ran like a child down the stairs.
― They always fight for the big room. But come on, honey, I made banana pie and I want to show you something I bought you.
I went with her into the kitchen, but his mother doesn't even want to be with us, she's harder to accept. His father is worse thinks I hit him and barely knows the old man he gave me the blow.
I helped in the kitchen, and she told me that when Enzo was little and his mother came round and sat down.
― Enzo is calling you. It was dry.
― Thank you, Grandma, I'll be right back to finish the salad.
I went out and I knew she was going to talk bad about me behind my back, it was right her face, and I was going up and his dad came out of the office on his cell phone and screamed rudely. And I just smiled, and he doesn't even want to say anything and I turn my face. And I walk into the room with the fucking open the huge hallway with wooden floors and he was on the balcony and I approach tickling his waist that screamed and ran after me around the room and we both fell on top of each other and fell and I didn't see what it was, but the side per fell with everything and the picture frame fell up and made a noise.
Our bodies glued together, and the looks being invaded by each other, I feel the breath fail and the urge to stick to that mouth. I take a deep breath and he smiles.
"We're breaking everything.
