dangerous curves -Lando Norris (English Version)

Part 54: finally

''What is it, Amalia?'' Lewis asks impatiently.

''I'm moving out...I'm moving to Paris,'' I say.

His eyes changed, but he didn't take his eyes off me.

''What? Why? Lewis asks, surprised.

''I'm going to look for a job there...I want to develop myself further and I don't feel at home here anymore...'' I told them the truth.

He quickly left the table, heading for the terrace, followed by her.

''amalia..if you have a problem, surely we can sort it out...'' Lewis tried to convince me.

''lewis..let me just go through with it..i just have to do it.''

''and Charlie..you'll have my room..there'll be more room for you and Alexandra...'' I turned to see Charles and Alexandra.

''That's nice of you...'' her tender voice said.

''Are you sure, Ama?'' Charlie asked a little sadly.

''I'm not out of the world...we'll keep in touch, I promise you,'' I say to them.

''We'll miss you...'' said Maria.

----------------

*knock knock*

''The door is open...'' I said as I was packing up my things with Maria.

His figure entered.

''maria..can you give us a second?'' he asked quietly and brokenly.

''I was going to take the boxes down anyway...'' she said, grabbing some boxes and leaving the room.

We stood at a distance from each other.

''So...what do you want? I'm pretty busy...'' I started, interrupting the silence.

''Are you moving out because of me?'' his red eyes pierce me.

''My world doesn't just revolve around me, norris...'' I reply.

''But mine...please answer my question...'' he says.

''I have to get out of here...if I stay here any longer, I will break...''

''you mean us..right?'' his head bows down.

''I mean everything...my whole life...the old memories of my parents...everything, norris. But yes, you're also a reason why I have to leave Monaco behind.'' I spoke to him sincerely.

His head rose quickly.

''I'm sorry...for everything I've done to you...I'm really sorry, dear...'' his lips moved.

''Thank you, lando...'' I replied kindly.

''do you think we will forget each other?

''maybe that would be the best thing for us..we should focus on our careers...'' i responded.

''I will never be able to forget you...''

''oh and that's why you had Luisa right by your side last night...'' I say back briskly.

''I'm sorry...''

''too much shit happened between us, norris..let's just forget about it...'' i try to draw a line.

''why do you want to forget us? it was something special between us...you're making it out like it was just a one night stand...''

''If it had been something special, you would have treated me better...''I argue against that.

''That's not fair...you're the person I confided in the most...''

''and hurt the most...'' I add to his sentence.

''So you only remember the negative things, Amalia?

''no of course not..but the negative things overshadowed our good moments, lando.''

''I know..will you be okay..in Paris?'' he asks, his eyes still glued to mine.

''I think so..I won't be out of the world, lando.'' I reply tenderly.

''You promise me?'' he responds.

''promise me what?

''That you'll be happy there and take care of yourself?'' he asks.

''I promise you, norris...'' I reply.

''I bought you something a few months ago, but I never gave it to you...'' he said, his fingers disappearing into his pants pocket.

''What is it?'' I ask, very surprised.

A silver necklace clasps his palm.

''I want to give it to you...so I know you're okay...'' he said.

I slowly approached him.

''This is the sign of strength...'' I say as I stroke the necklace in his hand.

''For me, you are the strongest person, amalia...'' he whispers.

The room is now surrounded by silence.

''May I put it on you?'' he whispers.

Nodding, I turn my back to him. Swallowing, his fingertips touch my neck as he puts the necklace on me.

''It's beautiful...'' I say as I turn back to him.

''You are beautiful, amalia...'' he says.

My head rose up.

''what happens to you when I'm gone?

''I'll go back to the way I was before...'' he replied quickly.

''Cold and a fuckboy?'' I respond.

''Exactly...'' he replies.

''You know that's not necessary...'' I try to change his mind.

''I have to do this to protect myself''

''From what?

''from feelings and love...I don't want to feel that again if it's not with you...''

''You have to let me go, lando...'' I whisper, my fingers interlacing behind his neck.

''I've been trying...for a long time...'' he whispers back.

''I'll always love you...'' he says, his lips capturing my forehead.

We hug for minutes, just to feel each other's warmth and closeness one last time.

''I'll always love you too...'' I whisper back.

I settle into a small but cute apartment in the center of Paris. I immediately felt at home. I stand in front of the mirror in my bedroom in a pair of gray suit trousers combined with a white blouse. I wear his necklace under my blouse. I grab my documents from the living room table. In my little Fiat, I drive to the institution where I am about to have my job interview. This is a fashion and design company. I am greeted politely by them, who direct me to the boss.

''Welcome Ms. Hamilton...'' said a familiar voice.

The person in the chair turns to me as I enter the incredible office.

''Matteo?''

''amalia?''
