ENZO MORETTI
"Two years later"
It's been so long, and she's gone. I haven't heard from her, not Carol, or anyone else. Let alone Noah. I've been in his company, but I haven't met her, and it's been so long that I miss her so much, but I've followed my life between jobs, discussions, meetings, new ventures, today was the big day, the day to find new projects and some partners.
Today the big day of the inauguration of the dos event, partner of the company and I went as a friend to is to see every detail of the project he made that he won and he deserved between a sip of champagne and a smile, a handshake, a tights on the waist, I standing there looking at the decoration of the place and my suit navy blue wet hair, thrown back, my hand trembling, my Rolex on my wrist I shook my head while looking at my phone and seeing my grandmother's message.
"I'm at your house waiting for you."
When I slotted my finger, I felt my ring. I was still with her. And why didn't I? Is it because she was still on my finger? I shook my head and looking at the floor I took a deep breath and reminded her of the smile. When she came all spout and the party reminded me of her taste, she loved that decoration with flowers, the impeccable arrangements. And when I turn around, I see a smiling and beautiful crowd. The one models more beautiful than the other carrying on their neck the most perfect jewels designed by great designers when I lifted my face I came across the sight of the rainbow or angel that fell from the sky.
So perfect that I was intact unable to breathe, she was in a black dress with tulle on stones and I bet it's shiny, her shoulders out and the silhouette striking. I try to move and I can't get brownish hair at the waist and a beautiful smile and she even gestured with her hand when she put her hand on the man's shoulder and I see Noah and he smiled at her all in love. And my "Valentina."
VALENTINA TOMMASO
I can't believe I'm going to this event because I didn't want to go. I knew I was going to find him and my heart was racing and scared.
In that time away from him I tried to focus on myself and left everything behind, him and my old life. I cried a lot at first, but then I forgot. And I'm not going to lie, I thought about him a lot, and I cried every time I remembered that he preferred her. I'm done with everything and him.
"Honey, I wasn't upset about your party. And remember that you're the star.
"You don't surprise me; you know I hate it. And your father's going too?
"No, he said you're the star and you know how much he loves you.
"I don't deserve this, Noah.
"You deserve it, yes, you are a great professional and do not come up with excuses and you will be honored. Are you afraid to find him?
"It is erased in my memory, but you make a point of reminding me.
"We will not fight, and we come and be yourself and smile.
When I got to the party with Noah I wanted to hide, but it was impossible, all people already hugged me and talked nonstop. And looking for where he was, my eyes were looking for him and the fear in my heart almost exploded. And I was taken by surprise when I got on that stage, and now if he's here, he'd already seen me.
I know Noah did this and he just so. But I can't deny that I'm happy, he's been given me everything I need. But I put my hand on my necklace and smile and from up there I just looked for it in the crowd. And even though I screamed that I forgot my heart, I'd say something else and beg for it every night I lay alone. He was the one who fell asleep with me.
Enzo Moretti and the man who falls asleep with me every night and still lives in my heart.
