With Anthony leaving, shortly, I've learnt to not wait for the other shoe to drop. Let me just live in the moment and enjoy it to the fullest so that whatever comes next finds me with no regrets about these past few days.
Being shown affection by someone who is not family is a foreign thing to me but I'm slowly learning and I'm loving it.
Having Wendy and Sne is helping out so much. I can now do all the business administration in the office rather than taking it home with me. I might add another pair of hands soon, people love our shop.
Wendy apologized for what she said and I forgave her. Anthony is another story, he's not angry still but he's not the same with her. If he could avoid her, he would but sadly, he can't, well while he is here, once he's back to the US I think I he'll forget about her existence.
My phone rings which doesn't scare me nowadays. Back when I was alone, nobody called me so when it started ringing you can guess my reaction.
It's Luca calling, probably to make fun of me and Anthony. Since he caught us on camera kissing, we have been forced to be the basis of his jokes.
I swipe to receive the call and put it on speaker and not say a word. I do my work.
"Your boyfriend is stressed out here, do something before he fires everybody working for him", he says bored.
"How am I supposed to help when he's on the other side of town?" I ask trying to match his bored tone.
"You know what, I'm coming to get you. You have five minutes to finish whatever you are doing. I can't take his shouting anymore", he says. I guess he's getting ready judging by the sounds coming from the other side.
"Alright, no problem", I hang up. Thank heavens I'm done with the work or it would have been postponed until it forced me to do it. I close the computer and put it with some other things in the safe, you can never be too safe.
"I'm leaving now, I will be back shortly, though", I tell both ladies who are mending the front.
"Go be with your man. You can even take the rest of the day off, you deserve it, my friend", says Wendy giving me a suggestive wink.
I just laugh at her, while packing a few cinnamon rolls because I'm craving them today, some strawberry muffins since they are Anthony's favorites and my fix of chocolate, choco-mint fudge.
Luca tells Wendy and Sne that he will be back since he doesn't want to watch us suck face all day long and we are off to their hotel.
"So, what's stressing my boyfriend out?" I ask in the elevator taking us to their rooms.
"I don't know, when I asked I had to hide to avoid being hit by my laptop." He laughs at my face, "he won't throw things at you, that I know".
The nerve of this guy, he just left me at the door after opening it and placing my paper bag on a table closest to the door. I get in and close the door. I hear his booming voice from what I assume the bedroom since where I'm at right now is the sitting room. He is on the phone, I feel for whoever he's yelling at. I take the paper bag and put it on the coffee table, just to do something to pass time.
After stalling for a few minutes and he's done talking or yelling on the phone, I roll my wheels to where his voice came from. I don't knock, I know I must be out of my mind, what if he throws something at me that might injure me? Well, let's find out if he will because the door is already open wide.
He is sitting on the bed, elbows on his knees holding his head facing the Grey carpet. With my heart beating on my neck, when I reach his side, I put my hand on his shoulder, testing the water.
