VALENTINA TOMMASO
I couldn't believe the bitch still has the guts to come talk to me after everything she's done for me.
Damn it! I scream angry and after all I was going through it again. "I can't believe fate is mine.
"Calm down... quiet friend. Think, on the other hand.
When she spoke, he came into the room with everything and tried to hug me and I pushed him.
"Calm down Valentina, I've already put her out. I told her she has nothing to do here. This project can't be missed now that it's all right.
"I don't care. Enzo, I don't want to know anything. I've made it very clear that I don't want contact with you or her. This is extremely professional. I haven't stopped talking and I still sing it in his face. "Now I'm not obliged to come to work and come here to meet the one who comes to speak unsettlingly to me. You keep your girlfriend away from me because you won't have a partnership.
"Calm Valentina, she's gone, she's not coming back. And she's not my girlfriend.
"I hope you don't come back... I'm here professionally, I've made it clear, and I don't want to talk to you anymore. Get out of here, get out of my office now. He left and I looked again at Carol and hugged.
"Easy, friend, don't be like that, you won't cry. I can't believe you're going to cry.
"Of course, I won't cry. I decided that after I lost my mother and son I will no longer be crying, much less for Enzo and her. They don't deserve a tear I shed, that's the truth. I'm just tired of all this. I don't want to suffer again because of her and if you think I'm going to make room for her to come into my life, you're wrong, let alone Enzo, because after everything that's happened, he doesn't deserve it even if I breathe for him.
I stood out of myself and hit my hand on the table and shaking my head in anger at everything. I knew it was been hard to see Enzo, but when I accepted this challenge it was for Noah's company and for me I deserved to come back here as powerful and the boss.
"I don't want to know anything else. I hope you didn't call him to your party.
Of course not. I don't even have any friends with him. After everything he's done to you, I just took him out of my life, even though he's Henry's brother.
"Let's have some fun. I don't want to know anymore; I don't want to hear or talk to these people who take my breath away.
I went to the women's locker room, took off my thin sock, changed the jacket underneath. I retouched my makeup, and I let go of my hair.
"I'm ready, friend.
"You look beautiful!
- I need to text Noah, I forgot it's been a long day.
" Wow! You're already giving satisfaction. Laughing.
"Today I had a chaotic day. I'll see you later. Now I'm going to celebrate Carol's birthday. Kisses."
"We are friends, and he has helped me.
We went down laughing and I forgot everything, I learned that pain makes me sick, so I leave everything aside and alive and so I have followed.
By the time we got to the bar, everything was ready. It had the colored balloons, the colored cake. The office crowd and the best, the gifts, the crowded drinking table.
"Come here, did you close the bar just for us? It looks like you closed the bar just for us today.
"No, but it's a special party. He left this area reserved here for us. This is just the crowd.
"Wow, it was top, and I miss this bar. Remember when we used to drink here?
"Oh, my God, tequila. Wow, don't even tell me. What happened? I'm back in the past. "Have you stayed away?"
"It was at this bar that I met Enzo.
"Really?
"Yes, it was in this bar that we saw each other. After our crazy night, I finally agreed to marry him.
"In a way, friend, you can't forget him either.
"It's just something that came into my head out of nowhere, but that doesn't mean I can't forget it, or I can't live my life without it. Enzo is my past.
Between rounds of tequila, partying, talking, loud laughter.
"Let's sing karaoke! I hear the crowd screaming.
"And we're going to karaoke. I scream.
Today I was leaving the house. I haven't had fun in a long time. I spent these years just working, courses, trips to Paris, taking courses and being the best designer. And now I'm here having fun with my friends. Antunes has already arrived and hugged me, kissed my face and we went to karaoke. Between songs, laughter, I was happy.
Between twists and turns of tequila glasses and prayer, I was already sweaty from both singing, dancing, and hugging. I was happy. It's been a long time since I've been like this. It was like I was coming back to life again. I missed my friends. I went towards the bathroom. I needed to wash my face and wash my hands of so much delicacy that I was eating. And when I was going to go into the bathroom, he came towards me. As he walked up to me, I walked backwards, looking into his eyes. I'm drunk there and he's in front of me, perfect, without the jacket, with only his shirt tapped to my elbow. He smiled better and came near me, like he was going to grab me. And I've been taking strides backwards, but it was too late. The smell of it makes me dizzy and the shiver in my spine I feel the leg shaking. He held it around my waist and talking almost on my lips. You could feel his breathing warm, the mentholated air of the drink mixed with the cigarette. And he took a deep breath, right in my face and said:
"Now it says you've forgotten me?
ENZO MORETTI
I had to lose to value her. I knew it would be my chance right now and I want her back. I was face to face and I felt like she was shaking just like me.
"Are you going to tell me you forgot me?
I looked her right in the eye. I put my two hands on the wall, my body pressing hers, without letting her breathe and act, and she tried to turn her face.
"Impossible. I remember you every minute of my day. You've done me so badly, I can't forget.
I got closer and even though she said that I ignored it. I wanted to take it all for myself tonight and kill all my longing, my will. As I was approaching her face, she moved her body trying to push me.
"You're not going to do that. Don't you dare.
"Why is that? Are you afraid you won't resist? That's how I feel.
"You are very mistaken as to how I feel.
VALENTINA TOMMASO
He pressed me on the wall, touching my body. And one of his hands shoved under my hair the other, holding my other hand on top of my head. He shook his head, looking into my eyes, took a deep breath and whispers.
"You haven't forgotten me yet.
"You think you're too much, don't you, Enzo?
Just what I needed now, when I said that, he stuck his lips to mine, ripping out all the air I breathe, driving me crazy, choking me with his lips. I feel your tongue wet my mouth, intertwining my tongue. It was a fight of tastes and lips, when I feel my skin chill, my spine hurt. He still took slight bites, loosening my lips and whispered.
"It's still mine, even if you deny it.
I, with both my hands, pressed your chest, wiped my lips and said.
"That was just a kiss. Don't you ever listen to me again.
When I heard the voice on his back, he looked at me scared and he laughed.
Is everything all right? Valentina. I got scared and got away from him and hugged Noah and told him to listen.
"I was waiting for you to leave with us.
Enzo stared at me, shook his head and I went out with Noah who didn't say a word, let alone Enzo. I let him go. I couldn't go back to the past again after everything that's happened. Noah saw everything. You've noticed every gesture of both of us. But I wanted to leave Enzo behind. I wanted to forget what happened between us. It was impossible because he still owns my heart.
