That Bitch..

title of your story or chapter

I was waiting in front of the Anjel Mall by six p.m. It was very cold..I put my hands in the pockets of my  jacket. I was looking around at the people who were passing me.All of them looked very angry, rushing from the work or to meet somebody. I was lucky that I remembered how Matteo looked like..I was not drunk last night. Sun went down like an hour ago and all mall was lighten up with bright lights.

I checked my cell - no miss call or text. I told him I will wait in front of the main entrance. By the 6:15 it started to rain. Great..I wanted to turn around to go to hide in the mall, when the raindrops stopped to fall on my head. I bumped in to the man.

I looked up in to his face. If somebody would slap me right now, I would be not surprised more..It was Max..He was standing in front of me with the smile in his eyes holding umbrella above my head. What should I say? I was expecting somebody else..somebody who is probably on his way right now..What is he doing here?

"You?" That was the only word I was able to get out from my mouth.

"I was expecting warmer reaction from you.." He said. "Especially when I saved you from getting wet.."

"What are you doing here?" My pulse was going crazy.

"I wanted to see you."

"Well, it is nice to see you than, but I have a date tonight.." I was still little bit upset about the night he said he will call me back and he did not while I was waiting..

"Should I be jealous?" I could hear sarcasm in his voice. "O.k. Enjoy your date.."

He looked across the street on in coming tram. "You can keep the umbrella, so you don't get wet while you are waiting.."

When he made his first step away from me, I got it. He was really leaving?! I put the umbrella down watching his back. I did not want him to leave...

"Max!" I yelled at him. The older lady, who was passing me by got scared. She gave me angry look, but I did not care..He stopped and looked at me. I never forget that look..Somewhere there in the middle of busy intersection, in the spring rain, covered by the cold cloudy night I felt like I was fifteen again..

We took his car to the Renaissance hotel - not to have sex, but to have some French food..The hotel's restaurant was the best restaurant in the town. He ordered some red wine and escargots...He poured me a glass.

"You look different." He said looking at me.

"In which way?"

"I don't know. You have different glow..That must be something in the water of this city."

I was finishing my third glass. The candle on out table was already almost done and the dinner plate was empty..He was talking about politics and economy, about the things I did know nothing about. I was just sitting there looking at him thinking about his lips, his eyes, his voice..about the night we spend together last month..

"..don't you think?" That was the only part of his monologue I got. What was he talking about?

"What?"

"What do you thing about that idea?"

"I'm sorry..I was.."

"Am I boring you?" I loved the way he smiled.

"No..I just got lost in my thoughts."

"What you've been thinking about? "

I blushed and took a sip of my wine.

"About your date?"

My date? Oh, shit. I forgot about Matteo..

"No..I was not thinking about that.." That was rude from me to flake on him like that..

"Is it serious? You and him?" His eyes sparkled in the candlelight.

Not really according the fact I forgot about him, before even meeting him..

"Why are you in town?" I try to avoid the answer.

"To see you.."

Normally I would not buying it, but I liked that idea of him traveling across the world to see me.

"You did not call me back..'

"Were you waiting?" He raised his eyebrows with the playful smile.

"No..I was not.." It did not sound very convincing.

"I was booking my ticket over here..So I could surprise you.."

Bullshitter. I liked him more and more..

He wanted to take me home, but we ended up in his hotel room. Of course..Honestly it was the only think I was thinking about since I met him again.

I woke up at six..i knew I have to be at work by ten..He got out from the shower right when my alarm got on. I was watching him to get dress..

"Do you want to have breakfast?" He asked me while he was putting on his shit.

"I have no time..I have to go home.."

"It's good..My flight is in couple of hours anyway.."

"Your flight?" I was hoping he is staying longer than hust one night.

"I'm going to Monaco for ten days..I have some business to do over there.."

I sat up and covered my naked body with satin blanket. He came closer to me and kissed me.

"Come to visit me in Monaco.."

I was not a millionaire to take off from work just like that..I was happy to pay  my rent.

"It would be nice,but.."

"Think about it."

He dropped me off at my place, gave me a kiss and left. While I was taking my elevator ride I felt like I want to cry. I did not like that feeling..
