The night we met

Chapter 56

Two months later.

I had now overpassed what had happened to me two months ago and it wasn't easy at all but Matteo has helped me.

It takes courage to get out of your hiding place. Its just a hide and seek that you are waiting for someone to find you. I guess Matteo has found my hiding spot since the beginning and he still does.

I wondered what Matteo told Alessio after he called him.

Matteo was seriously mad with him after what he had done which was the he had looked for me and told me about my parents which it only was what Matteo knows about and claimed.

How did Alessio found me? Huh.

But there was still something that tormented me more.

The dead body.

Looking at the soulless man lay in the floor made nervous even to think of that. Killing is a topic I don't like to think about. It terrifies me. But for some reason it did haunt me because he was about to do this merciless thing to me. But I still felt ache in my heart watching him die. I'm still a human and he was too, even if I hate someone or detest him I wouldn't have done that or ask for that. I wouldn't have asked to kill him. I wouldn't.

I may seem happy but this memory its what came into nights sometimes and I could probably wake up crying or screaming to 'let me go'. But those nights have decreased. Recently I haven't had, thank God.

Its around seven and I'm here outside watching the stars. There aren't a lot but I can see some of them that are twinkling. I have my caracole in my hand and I finally placed it on my ear. I close my eyes and focus on the sound only.

I hear the waves and it feels like I'm in front of them and not from this long distance. Its soothing and calming to hear this. My body relaxes at the sound but my mind and heart craves to be in there again.

"We could go right now if you want to."

I smiled.

I heard Matteo's footsteps as he walked towards me. I opened my eyes and saw how he laid beside me as he looked at the sky.

We all need someone to do this spontaneous plans because they always seem the best.

"I will love to but I'm very busy with my flower-shop and so are you, we can't escape from our responsibilities like that."

"Yes we can. That's the fun part of all of this," he said with a light tone that made me laugh.

"You make it sound easy."

"It's easy. We work fucking hard, we deserve it."

"Ha, I think we do."

I got closer to him as I laid my caracole beside me and I started to play with ny ring.

After a couple minutes of silence we kept looking at the stars. Which both actually enjoy doing every single time. I find this moment appealing and calm, but as I play with my ring I start thinking when will I be ready to finally say to him that I'm ready for marriage. I know who I am, what I want and whom I want. I have all of those things now but something deep inside me isn't ready yet.

"We got invited to a masquerade ball in Italy. Its a party from Mark and his wife Addy. They are this year's host to give the awards for the best businesses, so I got nominated and they want you to present me, basically give a speech about me."

I sat down quickly speechless. They want me to give a speech?

"Really? ...why did they chose me?."
