Unchained #Wattys2020

4. Free day

It 7 am. it's time to get out of my bed. Did this all really happen? Wait, what about my car?
I dress quickly and run out of my house: my car is not here. I look around to see if it's parked somewhere else but it isn't. Suddenly, I hear the sound of a car coming to me, I look back and there is Gabriel, with his Porsche 911, smiling. He gets out of his car and says: << Dr. Steele, I'm so sorry but your car will get fixed in a few days. If you don't mind, it would be a pleasure for me to take you to work>>. I look at him very surprised and, After a few seconds of hesitation, I accept.
Suddenly, I receive a call from work: << Dr De Angelis, I'm sorry to call you this late but Dr. D'Amato came back earlier and she said you could take a free day. She said you did a wonderful job and she wants to see you tomorrow morning.>>
What can I tell him now? << Ehm, Gabriel, I'm sorry for having to stop you but I've just known that I have a free day. Would you mind taking me back home?>>
<< Oh, truly, I'm happy to hear that. I was going to spend the morning in my house at the Hamptons. If you want, we can have breakfast together there. It's a very quiet place and the view is stunning.>>
Ok, so now he's inviting me to spend the morning alone with him. I don't know him that well, nobody would accept something like this. Looking at him, I have to admit that there's no place I'd rather be at the moment rather than a quiet place surrounded by green and some fresh air. Also, I don't have anything else to do.
<< Ehm, Well, I don't know.. I have some work to do at home.>>
<< Please, Ginevra, I will take you back home before lunch, so that you can do your work.>>
<< Promise it.>>
He smiles and, with a deep and, with a reassuring voice, says: << I'm not that kind on man that breaks promises>>
I smile too and accept.
We start talking and I don't realize that time goes by so fast.
Suddenly, he stops in front of a giant mansion: it was a big white building, so elegant but most importantly so big. What can an alone do in a place like this?
<< Do you like it?>> asks.
Delighted by this sight, I say : <<I've never seen anything like this before. It's pure perfection.>>
<< The best is yet to come. But, before we enter, I need you to sign a contract. It's just a formality, don't worry. I've been working so hard to build this house and make it look exactly how it was pictured in my head and I'm very jealous of it. I need to be sure that you don't say anything about what you will see inside of it to anybody.>>
What a strange request. Why hiding so much beauty? I don't realize that, signing the contract, I would have done the most stupid thing in my life.
