The night we met

Chapter 23

One month later.

Matteo and I had sex almost everyday and the pain decreased in which now I only felt pleasure. I've been very addicted to it, why? I think its more like a drug, once you try it you want more.

The last few days I've been planning the design of the flower store and the online and delivery shopping. I haven't had time to figure more about the business class but I've been thinking to go today, once for all.

I'm still not sure about this classes at all. I don't like to spend too much outside, only if it's Charlotte's or the flower shop. Maybe I should think of it twice, just to be sure. I could have classes online, its safer.

I sat on the bed as I watched the city from outside. I was contemplating the view when suddenly Matteo entered to the room.

"Hey," he said as he jerked at his tie until it came undone and pulled it off.

"Tonight I'm going out with Domenico to a meeting, but I will come straight home as soon as I finish," he said coming closer to me. He sat on the edge of the bed and his gaze landed on my hair as he pulled a strap of it behind my ear.

The flowers were going to come in twenty minutes which gave me time to decorate for his surprise. Once his meeting ends, he will come and see it while I wait for him.

I finally nodded and he stood up and went downstairs. Once he turned around I tried to hide my smile.

This was going to be perfect.

Matteo had left fifteen minutes ago and the flowers had arrived just in time. A man came with his truck in which I saw the flower boxes from far away. I waited until he passed from the gates. The car was parked and a mid thirties man came out with a cap on. He came near me so I could sign a paper to complete the delivery. Once I did it he walked towards the back of his car and took the four boxes of flowers.

I waited as he put them in front of the door. He passed by the guards near the entrance and left. Matteo had told me about these new guards because he cared of my security. He didn't explained me enough but maybe I should ask him more today.

Fanny helped me to take the boxes to the roof one by one. We finally took a lot of time doing it but it was worth it. As I opened them over there a lot of colors were on my view. They smelled incredibly and their color was beautiful. I grabbed one and showed it to Fanny. She looked at it and smiled but then she turned around to open another box.

We started fixing them all over the roof garden in every corner or space we could find. It took us around four hours to actually finish. It looked amazing!

I felt tired and Fanny left to make some lemonade for both of us. I felt the sweat all over my forehead as I walked forward.

I sat down on the edge of the roof and watched the sunset. A wind came by and I closed my eyes at the cool breeze. Matteo Giordano was becoming more special to me. So what I felt was, love. This was my first time feeling this for someone, this type of love. The love you give to the one that we all wait for a lifetime.

Some come early and others late. Maybe the one for us just comes on the perfect time, its just us who can't wait for them. But when we wait we ask ourselves, why hasn't it come?. Is he the one? Actually who really knows?

I finally looked around and stood up and grabbed the blanket. I placed it on the floor and smiled at Fanny's and my work done. I stared at it for some minutes. Wait. I'm missing the wine and the nutella! Shit, I forgot about them. I slapped my forehead as I remembered it. I need to go and buy them.
