ENZO MORETTI
I couldn't believe it when I saw Valentina. I couldn't think of anything else. I still leaned against the wall to hide as soon as she was going to see me. I tried to breathe and looking at her all smiley with him. And he hugged and I couldn't believe it when she went up on stage everyone screaming and clapping and he said:
" This is our newest jewelry designer, the Machado family and a rare jewel. She's already won two contests and now she's here representing the company. She came today representing the company and we have the honor of presenting the award to Valentina Tommaso.
I even sat down to be buzzing with the information I just found out.
I hid. I let her not see me. Because I was going to pick her up at the right time. I had to talk to her, but I didn't know how. And he didn't make room. Every time she went to talk to someone, he was next door. But I was going to stand by. And today I was going to talk to her, and I wasn't going to let her leave like this. Without an explanation. And when I saw that she smiled, and he ran his hand through her hair. She smiled half bland. There's no way they're together and she went to the bathroom, and I followed her.
I was standing there at the bathroom door with a passionate teenager waiting for her girlfriend to kiss her, her legs trembling, her hands sweating, her head spinning when she discovers that today she is part of the Machado company and not mine. Since I was so muggle, so silly to have let her go, I should have fought for her.
And when she came out, I stood in front of her, i stopped my body and when she lifted her face and saw me she said:
"Mr. Moretti! She said scared.
" Valentina, surprise? I just wanted to understand why you left without saying goodbye, without saying goodbye. You think you needed this?
"I don't care what you think? But what do you want?
"I want you to know how much you missed me and how much I missed you, your departure. Me, my grandmother suffered from your departure, and you didn't even say goodbye, not to me, not to her. You just got out of our lives. Why Valentina?
I told you. I have no satisfaction to give to you or anyone else. And I don't care what you felt. And after all, you still find yourself entitled to charge me anything, Mr. Moretti. "It's not like that, Valentina. You don't know how much I've suffered the lack you've missed me. I still choked and said it at once. "I love you, Valentina.
"I don't want your love, it's a little too late don't you think?
I still try to hold on to her arm to talk and when I try to hold her hand and pushes me is pulled with everything, I took a fright.
"Is everything all right, Valentina? He held her waist and pulled and said, "She is with me, she is my companion. Let's get out of here!
"Noah... we have nothing else to do here.
She left holding his hand.
I didn't believe it. I was so angry, so angry. I felt my heart go off. But I didn't leave it for less. I went after her. I wasn't going to let her go again without saying everything.
I went after them and saw when he went to the parking lot and I looking in the back, but I couldn't see Valentina. He put the body in front and when I looked at him got into the car and got fired, I still hit the car in anger, knowing that I lost her for good and years she's with him. I ran around to get in, get my car and came across, and I stared scared and looked again without believing, it was the couple that Valentina and I saved in the car accident, but what were they doing here?
She's already shook her hand to me, and I wave my hand and all bland, smile and they approached. He with a child in his arm and all smiley came towards me.
"Wow, you remember us.
"Of course, but what are you doing around here?
"See Valentina's award, she invited us, but what about you how are you?
"I'm working hard. I see you guys are doing very well.
"Yes, we were married and our son. I kept looking and they realized I was distant.
"Wow, what a madness after that fight and now married and son. Wow!
"Life is thus made up of ups and downs. You have to keep fighting to be happy.
"Life is made of love, hate, surprise, quarrels, isn't it really my love? She'd say and stare at me. "Yes, look at me and my love we fight straight. I watched that kid in their arms and the two of them smiling. "But thank you for everything, for you saving us that day. I even talked to Valentina; we always meet her have been part of our lives.
"Yes, Valentina has a great heart. It's wonderful, it's a rare gem.
"The best we always have and complete each other. He did. "It was a pleasure to see you again and congratulations for your family.
It kept beating my mind. I got in my car and kept remembering every conversation I had with them, and she came back in my mind, closed my eyes, and remembered her smile, the smell. There in the car listening to my favorite music, I closed my eyes and remembered the park. She's got her feet on the bench laughing and chewing on her favorite snacks and laughing.
"Enzo loved this pendant and much more than the urson."
Oh, my God, I’m so sorry. And the pendant. I put my hand on my face and I remember the pendant and I just saw it on her neck. "And the necklace around her neck. She made a pendant necklace and so carries it everywhere. I saw a light there at the end of the tunnel and I knew you still loved me. I come home running and I’ll play my jacket on the couch and smile.
"I saw Valentina! I scream. "She looks beautiful, Grandma.
"Calm Enzo down and tell me.
"She was at the awards, and we met fast. Do you think I have a chance?
"Of course, you have my son. And you already have your answer: just run back and bring this woman back.
- I promise I'm going to bring her back.
I hung up and stared at the window and smiled I close my eyes and I smell it.
"The rain hit the window and the smell exuded at home, she was cooking her favorite food, the risotto. I closed my eyes feeling happy to have you there. Her fingers slide over my back, and I feel the nail wedged at the waist and her kissing and biting and I just let her touch me after the night of pleasure we had. A cuddle was the best thing. And when your lip touches my skin, I almost moaned. But my phone was screaming on the table and my body was also pulsing and shaking with a hearty. And I look at her, she was red smiling on her toes waiting for me to continue. And I watch her looking at her that she dropped my shirt on my body just by flossing lace and I smiled and said:
"Valentina?"
How stupid I was to lose her. She hasn't forgotten me still have in her heart, I felt it and that necklace was proof that I still had a chance to be with her.
I looked in that huge mirror in front of me and saw my Valentina was beautiful, perfect, the same girl and it will be mine.
The overflowing happiness on my face was the time to get back to work. But today with something special: the certainty that she still wants me.
The best I knew now was where she was and my grandmother's right.
I need to bring her back. That's my Valentina. I walked down the aisles of the company when I looked at Carol was there all happy talking in the canteen with friends, shook my head and pretended not to see and ignored her just like she did for years with me.
I was already walking into my office and he's holding me. And I had a laugh, so Valentina already told me she saw me.
Enzo has been here so long since I've seen you.
I had a giddy laugh.
"How can I not? We'll see you over the weekend that you were at my parents' house and my brother forgot. "Oh, it's true. It's pretty ironic if you don't think so?
" Little brother-in-law you look great.
I left without looking her in the face. What Else I've been doing is avoiding the people who have walked away from me in the last half.
I avoided her, my brother, my family, the only person I had more contact with was my grandmother and other than that I avoided fatigue. I never saw Cecilia again. I heard she had traveled and was taking a jewelry course and after all she ended up stopping, but I didn't want to know any of this I just wanted to know about me.
Working and hoping that I would reveal again. I stood at the door of the Machado company and stared from afar. And there she was. When she got all smiley in the cab, I shook my head and i knew that one time or another we'd see each other again, but I was going to leave her in her moment.
I spent the days avoiding meeting with people who hurt me and today I still took a walk and passed the door of the company again and did not find it.
It was another day that I arrived at the company, I was excited decided today was Friday and I went to the bar where Valentina always went with friends that I needed to meet her and I knew it was her day to go there because it was Carol's birthday and my brother told me everything.
I was going to make a present in her life and everything was ready with my favorite suit. I looked at my desk and she was all smiles.
"Good morning, Mr. Moretti. The conference room is ready.
"What meeting?
"Have you forgotten? Today is the day of the presentation of the project.
"Boy, I'd even forgotten what I'm going to do because I promised him I'd cooperate on this project. Or I wouldn't do it.
Lately what I've done less in my life is earn points. I'm done getting points. I want to win the war.
" I'm going to get everything ready, and I've left the project folders and all the ideas on the meeting table.
It's all right. Send water and coffee in ten minutes. "All right, you Moretti.
I grabbed a coffee and stood in my living room looking at her old room and missed her. From when I kept looking inside my living room and she was jumping around with Carol laughing around turning the coffee. I put my hand on my forehead tired, exhausted tiring day when my secretary came back into the room she said:
— Mr. Moretti has already arrived the representatives of the other company.
"Thank you for everything. I'll be right there.
I took the project that was on my desk. And I go out to the meeting room and my mood has already changed and lately I was like this with a sudden change of mood.
At the same time, I was fine I was no longer it was as if I realized something was wrong.
And staying away from her made me distressed, I just needed to solve all my problems, I walked in that huge hallway seemed so far away and when I approached the door.
I still took a deep breath and left everything behind and opened the door in and there was on my back, and I didn't even look was angry.
The representative on my back I took a deep breath and said, "good morning" and of course with my arrogance and power owner I did not even notice the body of the person.
"I'm Moretti. I sit down and raise my face. " - You mean it's you I'm going to work with?
When she turned and I fell sitting in the armchair and with my hand on my chin without believing again seeing Valentina in front of me in a sky-blue finish, your hair with a well-done coquet and looked like an executive. The nervous one took care of me. But the happiness I felt at that moment and saw that fate was putting it back in my life. I tried to hold on so As not to smile or demonstrate that I was happy to be there in front of me. I just shaved and she said,
"Then let's go to the meeting because I don't have time to waste. She didn't even look me in the face. She has already opened the briefcase on the table and without sitting she put her hand and said:
I didn't like that one. Here it has to be changed and here it has to be bigger. This piece is special.
I looked at her again as she gave the orders, and she was saying what she didn't like which one got her around and said:
"Valentina, I want to ask you forgiveness for everything that happened, the things I did that I said.
"Mr. Moretti, I'm not here to talk about personal life, I'm here to talk about my work and if it's to talk about personal life it's better to cancel the partnership.
"It doesn't have to be that hot. Look at me and I tried to get closer.
"I've said I won't say it again. I have nothing to say to you. I'm here on business. And I have a collection to do. Now if you're not able to make you tell me what I'm going to do with someone else and now as for personal life I have nothing to do with your life or mine.
I look at her again and I see that she was beautiful, beautiful, and now irritated she was even more beautiful. I smiled and said.
"You take things very seriously.
"I learned from my old boss and then here in Moretti is just work and if it continues. She breathed in anger. "There's not going to be a partnership between us anymore, you understand?
"Yes, I understand, but I will say one last thing: you. I laughed— You look beautiful angry; I love it when you walk your hand like that through your hair showing your perfect irritability.
She left the angry room for the canteen. And I went after it when I assured, and I said:
" Valentina!
"Let me go, Mr. Moretti. I think we've talked all about the job so redo it.
