VALENTINA TOMMASO

After what she said, I kept thinking and I just wanted to go home and forget about what happened. But my heart was tight, and I can't get involved with it and just a contract I need to repeat it every day...

"Valentina is just a contract."

Eu não quero atear fogo, mas eles desconfiam desse jeito de você porque ele está cuidando de você. E você viu o rosto dele quando ele viu sua mãe?

― Era apenas o cuidado do chefe.

― Poupe-me Valentina... Chefe e nós nem sabemos quem ele era até ontem e agora ele está todo derretido lá. Então você vai ter que arranjar uma boa desculpa.

― Nem fale comigo sobre isso e agora esse amigo do inferno que apareceu. Mas o que eles disseram?

Eu precisava saber me defender do que eles iam me dizer, e eu não podia entrar no refeitório e dizer. Sim, eu sou a esposa dele. E eu ainda precisava manter a casta sem pegar ninguém, porque se alguém me visse, isso desmoronaria toda essa merda. E eu estou precisando.

― Que agora ficou claro que você é amante dele, porque ele estava muito preocupado com você. E que ele estava com ciúmes de sua amante e então ele jogou o café em seu rival.

After what happened, I tried to avoid it, I stayed in mine. I went home alone, taking care of my affairs, and I let them work it out. I don't want to be one more in anyone's life. I want to be unique. So, I gave myself up to my work and was going to visit my mother at the hospital.  I woke up in the morning, went to the office, did my job and stayed away and angry at the same time, and I know he also wanted his space, and our days were like this, each minding his own business.

But I get scared looking at the sketches on the table when he sticks his face on the edge of the door and looks in my living room. And I confess I don't understand certain attitudes of him, he doesn't want to tell the guys that we're together, but I've lived giving reason for gossip.

" Why didn't you wait for me? And worried, I thought you were still asleep. 

"No, I left because I had some things to work out. Today I'll have a busy day. I get up and go towards the door holding the bag. ― I'm going to visit my mother, but we'll talk later.

I've already left, I didn't give him and I confidence just. I went to take care of myself. It would be better for us to walk away, after all, he still has something to be solved. And this marriage is just a contract, I just left work early to visit my mom at the hospital and I don't want to give any more gossip. That's when I got there, she was all smiles.

And I got scared seeing the room with flowers and even chocolate and she made hand gestures.

"What was that, Mom? 

"Look, the flowers I received are beautiful, aren't they? 

― Are you really the mother who sent the flowers?

I knew it was him, after all in those months he came to the hospital and visited my mother and talked like they were real family. I don't understand why all that is too bipolar.

― That boy you get involved with. After all, you didn't want to talk about him. What's going on between you two? That's the third time he's sent me flowers. ― Mother, let's not talk about it, it is a very complicated thing. It's something I still don't have answers to.

―, but it looks like he does, doesn't it? For all this, I got scared. 

I didn't understand what she was saying, and she smiled. When I raised his face, he was at the door all smiles. I can't believe he was breaking a lot of rules. I told him I didn't want my mom to know about our deal and I see he was willing to throw everything on the fan, what was I going to say to her? I was looking for answers at that moment to tell her I didn't even have. He smiled and he came in with other flowers in his hand and chocolates and all smiles.

― I just asked, my daughter too, what is your relationship? After all, you've been coming straight with her, bringing flowers, sending flowers, bringing gifts. Take me here, take me there, then I wonder why you look more like a son-in-law?

― I'm Valentina’s boss, she's a great employee. That's why I dedicate myself to my employees, understand? But you're also very special to me, that's why I'm here. And I see you're already well recovered.

― Also with this 5-star treatment that I have here, I have to recover even, don't I? But look. Come in, I was just telling Valentina that you're a wonderful boy.

― Thank you to the Lady who is wonderful. Your daughter is also wonderful, but I see you'll be out of here soon. I hope so, we're going on a trip together, what do you think? 

I looked at him scared, I didn't believe it and my mother still agreed to shook her head, the two talked like they were childhood friends. I found that day very strange and that feeling, but for her it did her a lot of good.

We left the hospital together and he kept quiet just watching the movements and I looking for answers to his attitude that seemed to be really wanting to get into my family. Enzo is the kind of man who doesn't know what he wants and is scratching at all.

But I broke the mood by coming home and saw that he himself realized he had already done the shit and seemed sorry.

― You didn't have to do all that, after all you're already paying for all the treatment.

― What I did for her mother, she is a wonderful person, she deserves it and I want her to recover with all my heart. He stopped in the middle of the elevator and said. ― Valentina I am not such a bad man and I have a heart.

― I see that the heart of stone is slowly melting.

We went into the house, and he's already gone out to the bath and smiled at his bedroom door and yells:

― Shall we have a wine before bed?

― I can’t, I have a job to do, and I'll see you tomorrow.

I went into my room and changed, put on my light pajamas, and tied my hair and back in the room and sat facing the street looking at the city and looking at my project on the table and laughing as I remembered my mother's face all happy.

I want to be the best, so I have to do my best and I prefer to walk away before I get hurt from this relationship, I see that he has surrounded me. People weren't going to be talking, making those comments so bland. I didn't know what to say to myself anymore. I was confused by the strange feelings in my chest, and I felt like repressing that moment. It's funny that it's been months, and I didn't even remember my dead man, the ex, and today I was sitting here at this table, he came into my mind out of nowhere, weird stuff. I took a deep breath and continued my work, and I was far wrapped in the papers, I got scared, he approached with a cup of coffee, placed next to it, and sat down.

―Really serious. Are you going to get in the way of my job? 

― Of course not. And here it is wrong. I think you'd better take that part and put that part here; it's going to get a lot better. 

He knew it was about it and it's very important to me. But he was more committed than I was.

― Seriously, yes, look, I'm experienced in these projects. So, if I were you, I'd change. 

I smiled blandly and he there next to me all excited and shut up and took a deep breath and how I was going to work with him shirtless in front of me and me in a need. ― Why have you turned away from me, and walk away?


― I thought it was better that way, it doesn't get in the way. After all, your friend is back.


― I'm also tired of people talking behind my back that I want to get close to you and enjoy you, because you're my boss, which I hit on you. I'm tired, you know.  I kept looking, he took the pen and changed. ― And I need to work for real, did the boss intend?  He scribbled all over the paper. ― What are you doing?

" Ms. Valentina, changing that from here too, that this is not cool. And I think it's getting great on your project. 

― I'm very smart, aren't I?

― You are very intelligent, that I have to say. 

Ele me ajudou a mudar e deu as dicas e eu mudei tudo o que foi apontado por ele me ajudando. Ele sorriu e balançou a cabeça ainda diz se pensava.

― Eu não disse que seria maravilhoso.

― Eu sou demais, eu sou demais. Levantei-me da cadeira de salto, que eu tinha terminado. Claro, ele ajudou também, mas eu terminei, ele sorriu e disse:

― Parabéns, foi perfeito.

E eu pulei em seu pescoço e prendi e naquele momento de euforia, beijei seus lábios, nossos lábios se encontraram, ele segurou meus cabelos com tanta força. Eu me senti entregue a ele naquele enorme homem fedorento ao meu lado e isso me fez tão bem-estar com ele. E foi um beijo apaixonado e devorador, senti suas mãos grudadas sob seu pijama. Meu corpo respondeu ao seu toque, sinto as pernas ficarem macias e meus dedos presos sobre seus cabelos negros e a bússola de nossas bocas entrelaçadas umas nas outras. Ele aperta meu corpo no dele e já está me carregando para o seu quarto.

E respirei fundo quando senti que estava prestes a ceder a ele novamente. E percebi que não poderia me envolver com ele ou dar falsas esperanças ao meu coração. Respirei e afastei meus lábios dos dele e ainda sem força meus olhos enjoaram e balançaram a cabeça e não deixei isso acontecer. Corri para o meu quarto.

― Que bando de desocupados.
