- Party? But what party? What do you mean with a party? I don't have clothes for a party! - I started talking non-stop.
- Calm down, woman. - he said laughing. - I don't know all the details, Olivia only told me on the phone call that we were invited by one of our investors for a party at his house. As for clothes, we can go out and go shopping later, without any problems. - he said, holding one of my hands.
- Sure, shopping then. - I said raising the glass of juice. Enzo smiled and we continued to eat.
We finished our breakfast and got ready to go out, I was still a little tense about this sudden party thing, in fact I was tense as fuck about the whole damn thing, after all so much was happening at the same time that I was unable to process nothing right.
Enzo got ready in a heartbeat, and holy fuck! I would never get used to how he could be even more hot by only dressing casually, just in jeans and a white T-shirt. Seeing him like this made me feel like grabbing him and never let him go. The son of a bitch could electrify my whole body only with his naughty smile.
While in the elevator, the silence ended up becoming too loud for me, making me think about a million things, about how we would behave with each other on the street, in front of people, about what was going on between us, about what happened at the congress. I felt like I was about to freak out when I heard the elevator bell indicating that we had reached the ground floor.
Enzo let me go ahead, being a gentleman as he used to be and I went out the elevator, full of meaningless thoughts torturing my mind, until I felt a hand passing behind my back and stopping on my shoulder, pulling me gently back and when I realized, Enzo was embracing me. He gave a kiss on the top of my head and suddenly, my whole body relaxed and my mind as well, the simple fact of having his arm around me and his display of affection, seems to have answered all my doubts and I finally took a deep breath, like if I've finally found the place I belong, right there in your embrace.
We arrived at the car and Raoul was waiting for us as usual, he asked Enzo the coordinates and we left for our destination, which didn't take long to arrive. As soon as we got out of the car, I heard my cell phone ring and immediately started a saga to look for the damn thing that seemed to be lost in the black hole that existed in the bottom of my bag, even though it was tiny.
- I am really glad that you can't drop this bag on me while you answer that phone. - Enzo said, smiling when he remembered the episode when we met.
- No, but I can still hit you with it. - I said laughing and hitting him slowly with my bag. He ran his hand over his arm signaling as if had hurt and laughed.
- Hello! Hi? Hello?
- Hi sexy lady. - said Nessa on the other end of the line.
- Hello Beautiful! - I replied.
- How are you? Can you talk now?
- Good, I am very good. Actually, I'm on the street, we went out to buy some things. I won't be able to speak to you right now. - I said looking at Enzo.
- No, it's okay, go talk to your friend, we have time. - Enzo answered me softly.
- Are you sure? - I asked.
- Yes, talk to her. Raoul keeps me company. - he concluded winking at me.
I smiled at him and walked away a little, walking towards a stool in front of a small restaurant.
- Sorry girl, now I can talk. - I said to Vanessa.
- Are you alright? - she asked.
- Yes I am. - I replied.
- Don't you dare lie to me, I know your voice. Tell me everything now.
Vanessa had the gift of realizing things about me that sometimes I didn't even realize, it was almost impossible to lie or hide things from her and in fact I didn't even want to. So I let the shit out.
- You're making me nervous, just say it. - She scolded me.
- So much has happened since the Congress, I don't know how to process it. - I confessed.
- Yes, spill it. - she ordered.
- The presentation was a success, Enzo kissed me in the rain, we had to share the same room back in the hotel, we had a frantic making out this morning and I ran into Antony at the conference. - I released all the information at once, hoping to unload the weight from my chest.
Vanessa remained silent, for a few seconds making me apprehensive again.
- Nessa? You can say something now. - I said.
- YOU BOTH KISSED !!! AND HOW IT WAS??? I KNEW IT!!! - I had to move the phone away from my ear a little because of the screams.
- Yes, it was wonderful. Enzo is wonderful, I don't even know how to explain, he is handsome, sexy, charming, has a wonderful touch. The kiss in the rain looked like a movie scene, he went after me when I ran away after running into Antony.
- Right, I'm Team Enzo from the start. But what was this son of a bitch of this Antony was doing there? He didn't do anything to you, did he?
- I don't know, I have no idea what he came here to do. He did nothing but fuck up with my psychological one more time. - I confessed, feeling sad for the memory of the meeting.
- Girl, he was an asshole and will always be one and there is no point in sinking again because of him. He's past, and you live in the present. And your present is a hot guy who kisses well, has a good grip and is crazy about you.
- I know, but I'm still afraid.- I said feeling sad
- Everyone is afraid, but you can't keep your heart in a chest like Davy Jones, you're too hot to become a monster with tentacles on your face.
- You are crazy. - I said laughing at the comparison.
- I am your crazy and you are my crazy and what I want most is that you find someone nice and be happy. And from what I realized Enzo is a good competitor for that.
- For that, what? - I asked.
- To make you happy, you tapir. Are you paying attention to what I'm saying?
- I got distracted looking at him, sorry. - I replied laughing.
- You are a dirty bitch. And instead of staying there full of crazy thoughts, you will enjoy the company of this hot Italian guy and forget about the rest. That's an order. - she said.
- Oh shit, he's coming here with two ice cream cones in his hands. Fuck he is so hot. - I said, looking at Enzo coming towards me.
- Girl go and grab this man, smear that ice cream all over his sexy body and enjoy. - She said excitedly.
- Shut up, you bitch. - I said laughing.
- Love you friend. - she told me.
- I love you too, we'll talk later. And ah, thank you.
- Any time, babe.
I ended the call at the same moment that Enzo came over to me with the ice cream.
- Chocolate or lemon? - he asked.
- Chocolate. - I said, taking one of the cones from his hand, while he sat on the stool next to me.
- Did I interrupt your call? - he asked.
- No, no, we were finishing already. - I replied.
- Have you been friends for a long time? - he asked me.
- Ah yes, a long time ago. - I replied.
- We met at work. I mean, before I started the internship at Vivere, at the beginning of college I worked as an English teacher on a course for a year and it was there that I met Vanessa.
- Interesting, five years of friendship is a really good time. - he said.
- Actually there are six. - I said correcting him. - I stopped college for a year. - I concluded.
Enzo was looking at me confused, I could see in his eyes that he wanted to know more. But he didn't ask and soon changed the subject. I felt a little relieved, although I enjoyed our moment of unassuming conversation.
- Let's go then? -he said extending a hand to me when he stood up.
- Yes, sure! - I replied. - But first, wait. I want a picture of us, are you all right?
He looked at me for a moment, smiled and then sat down next to me again, hugging me again as I took out my cell phone to take the picture.
- It's great I loved it! Don't forget to send me. - he said.
We got up and headed for our day of shopping, when we weren't giving hands, we were embracing and that made me very happy. Enzo took me to several designer stores, with wonderful shoes and clothes. I fell in love and chose a dark green jumpsuit with a V-neck and bareback and black heels.
I was surprised when he didn't want to see me dressed, he said he preferred to wait for the surprise and I found it fun, even a little emotional.
When I left the changing room and went toward the cashier, Enzo stand up from the chair he was waiting for and came towards me.
- Let's go? - he said.
- As soon as I pay. - I replied.
- It is right, Miss. - replied the cashier girl.
- What? What do you mean? - I looked confused at her and then at him.
- The Mr. already paid us, here it is. - Said the girl handing me the bag.
- Grazie. - Enzo held my hand and led me out of the store.
- Enzo, why did you do that? - I asked.
- I wanted to give you a gift and that's it. Let's have lunch?
I smiled at him and nodded.
We returned to the hotel at about three o'clock in the afternoon and when we passed the reception heading towards the elevator, we were reached by one of the receptionists.
- Signori Vincenzo, buonasera. - the man said.
- I am happy to inform you that the problem with the rooms has already been solved and luckily we have another suite available. - He concluded.
Enzo and I looked at each other at the same time and nobody said a word.
