ℛ𝒾𝓂𝒶𝓇𝓇ℴ́ | Jorginho

II

My work involved a lot of travel, since I was a translator for the British Embassy of Poland. Having loved learning languages at school and having a passion for travel, I aimed for getting a job representing one of the embassies, since it would fulfill things that I enjoyed. Learning Polish was incredibly hard and it meant I had to give up some of my weekends, but I felt incredibly privileged to be able to travel away often and do something that I enjoyed as a career.

However, I realised that perhaps Jorginho would find this off putting, since it would mean that I wouldn't have as much time for a relationship. Those were some of the issues that I faced in my previous relationships, therefore I didn't want to face the toxic issues that I suffered with last time, yet again.

Considering the Euros were coming up, I realised that he'd be busy too, with training and the potential that he'd be called up to the squad, so I was surprised he even made the move in the first place. However, I wasn't complaining. Despite all of these worries my mind had, I was still determined to follow my heart, therefore, when I got home the night of first seeing him, I decided to message him, once again.

Heyy, I made it back home safe. I hope you had a good evening. When are you thinking of doing something together? Xx

Jorginho
Ciaoo, it was great, especially crossing paths with such a beautiful girl ;) I'm free on Tuesday night. Would you like to come to my place? Xx

Charlotte
That sounds lovely! I'm up for whatever really. Just let me know what the dress code is of course 😂xx

Jorginho,
I mean you'll look very beautiful wearing whatever, but perhaps wear something you'd be comfortable in, but also smart xx

Charlotte
Okay perfect! Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday then xx

I decided that I'd leave work as soon as possible on Tuesday, with it being a weekday, therefore nothing too crazy happening. I was incredibly excited to see Jorginho, since this would be my first date, since my ex and I needed something like this to take my mind off of it completely. I wanted to give this a chance and I knew that allowing a date to happen would be the perfect first step.

Tuesday

Work was incredibly relaxed today, with there only being one major meeting, and a few clients inside to do things such as exchange passports and apply for visas, meaning I could get on with sorting out some online documents as well.

When the evening came, I said goodbye to all of my colleagues and headed back to my place, running a bath as soon as I got in, so I could prepare for the date.

I changed into a pair of wide legged white trousers, with a black racer crop top. I left my hair down, straightened and only wore natural makeup that night. After putting on my heels and my bag, I was ready to go to his. Nervously, I stepped outside, when the Uber arrived, looking forward to seeing him.

The Uber arrived at the address that was given and I couldn't believe the beauty of Jorginho's House. The walls were a beautiful white and the door was a smart, polished black. Above the door, there was a little terrace, with railings. I was super excited to head inside.

Thanking the driver, I stepped out of the car, walking up to the front door and ringing the doorbell. After about 30 seconds, he appeared at the door, wearing black jeans, a black shirt and a black jacket over the top, with a chain around his neck.

'Ciao tesoro,' he smirked, pulling me in for a hug and kissing both of my cheeks.
'Ciao Jorginho.. Or can I call you Jorgi? I feel like it's cuter,' I giggled, watching him blush.
'I guess it's a name no one else calls me,' he chuckled, 'But it works, it's cuter coming from you,' he winked.
'Grazie, you look great by the way,' I blushed.
'You look beautiful tesoro.. It's the first date and I already feel like you're way out of my league,' he grinned.
'You're too kind. Anyways, what's in store for this evening?' I asked.
'I decided to set the terrace up for you. Since the sun's setting, I thought it would be romantic... Follow me,' he smiled, taking my hand and leading me up the stairs.

We headed through the hallways to the double doors that lead onto the terrace and he had laid out a picnic, with lots of different foods to choose from and two glasses, with a bottle of prosecco to the side. He had even put some candles around the table, since the sun was setting, making it even more romantic.

'This is so beautiful Jorgi, I love it,' I smiled, pulling him in for a hug.
'I'm so glad. I wanted it to be unique, since we've already seen eachother in a restaurant and it makes it more special if I've put in the effort,' he smiled.

He pulled out a chair for me, before I sat down and he proceeded to pour out the glasses with prosecco. Giving us a plate each, he then sat opposite me and said that we could both begin to eat.

'So you probably already know what the first question will be.. Why is such a beautiful girl like you sat in a restaurant like that by herself?' he began.
'I basically had a horrible previous relationship. We were supposed to go to that restaurant together, but since he cheated on me, I thought I'd make the most of it and go myself, since I spent the money on it. I'm over him for certain, however I'm just a little bit fragile and am scared of being hurt like he hurt me,' I replied, looking up at him.
'Ohhh bella I didn't realise that was the case. I don't understand how someone could treat you like that. I just want to clarify that we can take this as slow as you need and you don't have to worry about me hurting you. I'll be patient and make sure everything goes at the right pace for you,' he reassured, instantly making me feel better.
'Grazie Jorgi. I'm willing to let things grow over time, for sure. I trust you,' I smiled, as he took my hand and rubbed his thumb over the top of it, on the table.

After that conversation, we carried on talking, mainly about lighter topics. I learned that he had a dog, who he cared about immensely, he was a huge family man and also was from both Italy and Brazil. Overall, he seemed like a very loving and caring person.

The night was drawing to a close and Jorgi offered to drive me home. As we pulled up to my house, I thanked him.
'Grazie Jorgi for an amazing night. It was so romantic and thoughtful of you,' I blushed.
'Prego amore. Would you mind if I did something?' he asked, moving his hand up to my cheek and cupping my face, turning my face towards his.
'I wouldn't mind at all,' I blushed, heavily, looking into his eyes.

With that, he pressed his lips up against mine and sparks flew instantly. He felt right for me, I just couldn't explain why, but everything about him fitted me perfectly.
