VICENTE TOMMASO
We kicked out of there. I just wanted the money and I’d take her out after everything she's done to me. I couldn't even run, my leg broken. I still lame after everything that happened. We went out in the dark and that bastard came. But when we entered the alley, I breathed firmly and leaned against the wall and one of them looked at me.
"You did everything wrong. She said it was for you to kidnap and not do what you did and now who's going to give the money? She's not going to pay any more.
"We share what we've got from her. Because she was light, didn't you see she was light?
"You did the shit, and you should just kidnap and then we'd get paid. You were supposed to be nice; you've already come in alarming and we're supposed to kidnap her and rip all the money off and now you've done the shit, man. Now who's going to pay? He pushes me taking the bag. "Now, man, you're going to be left with nothing.
"No, give it back to me, it's mine. It's my money.
"Not at all. We're the ones who did all the work. It was us who did all the work.
And they started hitting me, kicking me, pushing me, ripping the bag out of my hand. And they hit me so hard, they kicked me in the face, in the body, on my broken leg. And they left taking Valentina's purse and I stood there stretched out on the floor.
"And my money.
VALENTINA TOMMASO
After everything that's happened, my father still found himself entitled to come and collect anything from me, I didn't believe it. I was still cold from the fright. I looked at Enzo's arm, he was bleeding.
I pulled my handkerchief off my neck and tied it to his arm.
— We think we go to the emergency room.
Of course not. This was just a cut of nothing. He smiled. "Just clean up and pass something is good, but I can't go home like that.
" No, let's go to my place. I'm going to take care of your wound.
"You don't have to. I don't want to give you any trouble.
" Stop it, Enzo. It's my duty, you just defended me.
I took him home. I knew he was going to need care and when we arrived, he sat in the chair and I ran to get the bandages and brought it, sat by the couch, on the floor and started cleaning.
" Looking like that was ugly indeed. He lowered his face. "Is it better to clean up what you think might get infected?
" Of course, it was and it's very ugly. I think I'd need some stitches.
" No, exaggerate, but I can't go home, because my grandmother will be worried and will want to hit me when she finds out I've been cut off in the street.
I kept looking in the bastard's face and seeing how far he was going and laughing. I knew he wanted it and I loved having him standing there next to me, what a fucking domination he has over me. I took a deep breath.
" You can stay here with me until you get better. And then you say it was a scratch somewhere.
You know what she's like, right? If she knew that, she'd be desperate.
" No, and rightly so. And she's still going to blame me.
" You were not guilty, Valentina. It had to happen. And I told you, I'm always going to defend you.
He knew how to make me laugh for nothing and I feel defenseless next to him, and it wasn't going to work out he's right next to me. But since I'm going to let him go after he saved me; I still look at him sitting with his shirt open and bloody and run into the room and pick up a robe and hand over his hand.
"Take off the shirt I'm going to put in the machine, it's bloody, and you can have that robe. And there on the left and the bathroom and you can sleep because I'm going to stay on my project.
"As well as better rest and if you want, I help you. He smiles and I try to get out of that tension.
"You don't need Enzo and you're going to take a shower; I'm going to order something to eat. He smiled and approached.
"I've already order dinner.
Wow, wow How rushed. I laugh and go back to the bedroom door. "Did you plan this?
"I planned to be cut by the addict, and so you would bring me home. What idea and Valentina?
"Well, you Moretti guy.
He went in the shower and I'm not going to lie, I got a fast heart, he had this gift of leaving me floorless, I still take a deep breath and try to concentrate knowing that he was there a few meters from my body. And I put my hands on my face and breathe, and I whisper.
"What a need! Keep away from me this evil called Enzo.
I laugh and go back to work considering winning the contest I leave aside impossible to fool me that damn man knew me takes off the ground. And I didn't even think about anything, just come out of my thoughts and desires when I hear the bell and get scared.
I look at the table and I see that I did nothing, and I didn't even move a paper and I run to the door, and I was the delivery man and Smile.
"I'm just going to take the money for a moment.
" It's already paid for. I look at him and I appreciate it and I don't even remember the tip and he came out laughing.
I go to the kitchen to get the cutlery and yell at the bastard and he came smiling and opens the wine and gives me a glass.
"This isn't a date just for you, you know. And wine is unnecessary.
He already takes me the dishes and went to the table and tidy’s up and we sat down with the pots of Chinese food and I laugh and he knew what I was thinking, knew me well. And I sit looking at the pot, he knew it takes my concentration and laughed.
"You're uncomfortable with me here.
"I'm not used to man walking around the house. But you’re, okay?
" A little pain in the arm and better take a painkiller.
I get up and give him the medicine and he started telling him about the company and saw how much he was changed and seemed looser.
"I lost some contracts when you left. And the brides' design went to the contestant.
" I heard; I was in London.
He stayed away and I took the cell phone that touched the couch and smiled at the view of the name and he is eating. I sit on the couch and start the conversation.
"Noah what a surprise I thought you were busy i called you five times. I laugh and get up and pick up the wine and he stare at me. "I can't go I'm finishing the project and then we'll celebrate I promise.
He starts taking things off the table and gets the cup in his hand and I look at the little robe on his body and laugh.
"I'll see you tomorrow and don't drink too much.
I turn it off and see that he's left the room and I leave the glass in the sink, and I go to him and I see him in bed and I get closer.
Good night, Enzo.
"It's better not to stay late after all tomorrow and a new day and thank you for letting me stay here.
I turn off the light and go back to the room and I knew I wouldn't be able to think of anything with him in the room. But I try to disconnect from everything I've been through next to him and his little girlfriend.
"I can't fool myself with it again I need to be strong."
