Chapter 2 - The meeting...

Cosimo and Christel enter in the car.

Cosimo turns on the car's panel and you can see Christel's eyes focussed on him!

<< What's up? What have I done now?! >> ; << the belt must be worn before turning the key!! >> Cosimo snorts and puts on his belt << You're absurdly heavy Mara is right!! >> Claudia from the back seat bursts out laughing..and says << and you've only known her for half an hour!! >> ; << Listen.. I'm saving your ass... you're just good at getting into the mess and the one who has to fix it is always me... But I'm the heavy one!! >> << I didn't ask you anything I asked you to stay out of this story!!! >> << yeah sure.. while you were crying yourself out in the back seat of my car... But when I warned you not to give your number to Ciccio you told me that I was heavy and mommy..>> << oh what fuckn pain you are!!! >> Cosimo laughs << but didn't you just leave the church? >> ; << going to church doesn't mean being Saints and even less perfect.. it means having faith in God who helps you in every situation.. like today.. he put us in front of you.. or at least I hope that you manage to get Ciccio out of our lives.. I don't trust you that much... >> ; << ah thanks very much.. maybe I should change road... >> but she continues to ignore his answer << I prayed for half an hour for a divine sign.. I couldn't stand to see her in these conditions!! >> to this answer Cosimo remains silent.. usually he never risks being seen so shamelessly.. next to girls for fear of Irene.. and her obsessive jealousy.. but today something attracted him so much.. and then Christel.. Her way of doing things... her strong and grumpy character was driving him crazy.. he had betrayed Irene so many times.. he hadn't been in love for so many years... but never a girl had intrigued him like her..he wanted to stop the car ther and kiss her until she couldnt breath anymore.. take her for everytime she answer him back..He could feel that was no way that he could let her go.. He knew it was hard this time for him..she was a christian and she wouldn't let him go closer to her especially because of Irene...

He really liked to tease her...<< sorry Christel but if God made us meet it means that I'm such an angel..so can you give me the number?? >> Claudia from behind doesn't hold back again and laughs together with Cosimo.. while Bored Christel not worthy of a look and says << I see that the tears have gone.. as well as the bad thoughts... >> . . . << thanks to you my love... I love you!! >> << I don't.. I hate you both... because I know.. it's a matter of time and we have to repeat the same tarantella... because Pietro's bad secrets will be discovered..I can see everything that will happening in fews weeks>> << you're wrong... >> Cosimo answers << you'll see that this time you will be wrong in everything even about me!!.. >> <> << the only thing that you can see now are my horses.. we've arrived.. >>

Christel gets out of the car and starts screaming: << How beautiful I can't believe a riding school.... horses.... I thought you wanted to kill us when you took the road to the countryside.. instead there are here.. them my loves... how beautiful you are!! >> Claudia and Cosimo lean against the car and shake their heads laughing.. then Cosimo shouts << Pa where is Uncle Giovanni can you call him?!?! >> << Cosimo what's going on what are all these screams??.. Miss is everything okay?? Is she okay?? >>

Cosimo's father is a gentleman of beautiful presence.. badly dressed for the job at the riding school.. but always clean in the face and you can see the resemblance to Cosimo.. same height and same eyes and smile..

Cosimo replies to his father with a smile :<< Don't worry about her.. poor thing she isnt all there with her head.. where is Uncle.. ? >> << I'm not crazy... and I'm not shouting.. I'm just happy and surprised because I didn't know that Cosimo would take me to a riding school.. to meet you and your brother.. >> << Cosimo che hai combinato??? (What did you do?) >> << noo don't worry.. Cosimo is still very engaged to Irene.. he loves her like crazy and would never betray her.. never mind... >> << Now I'm even more worried... >> <> he laughs << Are you done?? Can I explain myself to my father?? >> <> << Pietro my name is Pietro.. and don't call me Sir please.. it makes me feel old.. >> << ok excuse me!! Well you are ..mm you're not old you're still a handsome man... >> << ah you compliment my father... ahh look at her how expansive she is... >> Pietro laughs and Claudia answers.. << Mr. Pietro be careful because she always say that she want a mature and good-looking man.. >> <> <> << also strong the girl and me?? I mean you're killing my son.. >> <> << you're right..like today's that I still don't know anything about!! >> << if they make me finish... I came here to talk to your brother about your nephew Ciccio... I'm not even engaged to him.. God forbid.. I'm here to accompany my ex-friend from today on.. Claudia.. here the fox... who dated and fell for Ciccio.. then he made a mistake, he attacked her out of jealousy by slapping her twice... for no reason... she left him and he continued to torment her and threaten her and making her afraid even to go out with us...>> << what??!!! > Pietro and Cosimo exclaim << Yes.. you got it right.. we also have the evidence of the slaps.. because when he arrived I was making a story on Instagram of the 3 of us and I saved it... all because he had told Claudia not to go out with us anymore in the evening and we forced her to come with us to "Le Club" and he arrived there with his two friends.. those two fools who always laugh for no reason... and slapped her twice... >> << show me the video..>> Cosimo's father asks her. Christel goes to the car takes her phone and brings it with the open video to Cosimo's father who starts ranting at his nephew and screaming like crazy.. Cosimo takes Christel's phone and sends himself the video.. and saves her number... and just at that moment Giovanni, Cosimo uncle arrives on an e-Qooder with Ciccio, who, as they approach, changes the colour of his face.. and asks his father not to stop and move on.. but Cosimo yells at him: <> << take care of your dicks and think about your Irene>> Pietro angry, black in his face, approaches the e-Qoder and pulls him down by the ear.. << come with me come and let me see now what kind of Man you are..how do you slap a girl twice.. ah come on do it in front of us now..>> Ciccio's poor father at that point upset gets off too and approaches his brother in law << what are you saying.. he would never get to those levels... >> << Zio open the phone I sent you the video so you can show it to Zia too.. >> << which video?? >> shouts Ciccio << I'll report you.. >> <> laughs Christel looking at Claudia who with her head down and disgusted goes in the car... << What a complaint..who you reports.. omu i merda.. ( shit man ) now I'll fix you and the two dicks thar you going around with.... you don't leave the house anymore until I see you hoeing and pulling straight... you make me vomit and wait for me to tell everything to your mother she won't look you in the face anymore.. where did you learn to raise your hands on a woman ah?? From your friends.. >> Giovanni pushes his son on the bike.. and goes back up.. Ciccio looks at Cosimo and Christel disgusted and shouts << you will pay for this.. >> << Ciccio go to sleep it's better... >> Giovanni accelerates and goes away..

Christel greets Pietro and thanks him for listening to her and Pietro apologises to her and invites her to go back with her friends to take a ride with the horses assuring her that Ciccio will never bother her again and that if it were the opposite to call the riding school that he is there every day.. or to notify Cosimo!

Claudia decides to go home..it was a day full of emotions and she also felt embarrassed thinking that she had been with a guy like Ciccio.. she was right Christel had been too naive to trust him..while Cosimo and Christel reach Pietro and Mara and they laugh a lot thinking about Ciccio's face when she saw them at the riding school.

The end of the evening arrives and Mara decides to take another motorcycle ride with Pietro before going home and Christel reluctantly has to settle for another ride on the seafront with Cosimo who decides to park the car near a beach stablement..turns off the car and gets off and heads towards the beach.. Christel feels undecided she doesn't know whether to follow him or not... in the end she decides to get out of the car and he closes it and exclaims << it was time!! >> << but you're normal it's 11:30pm do you think it's time to go down to the beach? >> << move ball breaker.. wherever we do the only thing you cab do is complain ...>> he goes to the last deckchair near the sea and he lie down..<< come on come on and lie down next to me.. >> << ok that you are not normal it was understood.. but what the hell did you smoke to think that I lie down next to you I don't know.. >> << but do you have a moment in life where you live without asking too many questions do you have it?? >> << yes.. when I'm in prayer.. >> << ok go spend the evening with God..>> he gets up and walks towards the car..

He was so angry and at the same time he wanted her more.. He wanted to turn around pick her up on his shoulder put her down on that chair and punishing that mouth of her... But he knew that would scare her off.. He need to play is card better.. He had to make her to trust him, she wasent the usual girl who was attracted by the rich bad boy, she was diffrent.. That was maybe what was driving him crazy.. The fact thd she was the first who regected him!!

Plus all day with her closer to him without a chance to can tuch her.. Hold her.. That he why wanted to lay down with her.. he wanted to talk to her and watch the stars.. try to be romantic and maybe have the chance to hold her and smell that profume on her that was driving him crazy.. But she was to strong and she didnt want to let it go..

Christel does the same thing..shocked by Cosimo's reaction and gets into the car in silence this time..

She was angry and surprise at the same time.. He was amazing all day and made her laugh inside more than wants.. And she had to force herself to dont look at him or at his smile.. She knew he was a bad news.. She knew he couldnt be hers.. But he didn't know that she always like him from when she was in high school, nobady knew, not even the girls.. She never said anything to anybody because he was engaged to Irene at that young age, so she always though he was an idiots.. Plus she knew he was in someway related to a mafia club, not sure about it, nobady there is sure about anything, nobady talk about them.. But today have him giving her attentions, feeling him wanting her push something inside of her, she kept repeting, christel is just a day, stop dreaming and dont let him found out that he can have a chance!!

Thats why she didnt sit or stay to close to him, she need to keep the distance! He was engaged!!

He starts again the car and doesn't put on the sitbelt, out of provocation and she dosent say anything.. then he starts to accelerate and she doesn't do anything... then he stops... he looks at her.. << I exaggerated. I'm sorry.. and that I've never gone out with a girl like you..>> and she remains silent << come on I apologised... don't they teach you to forgive in church?? Come on I promise you that tomorrow I will go to church and confess.. help me father.. I sinned against Christel with thoughts.. words... >> Christel still remains silent and then doesn't hold back and laughs heartily... << I knew it would work.. maybe you'll even be a priest..>> << bitch but then I'll think of you anyway.. maybe even more!! >> << Cosimo you can think of me as much as you want... you are Egaged.. EN.. GA.. GED!! I don't know what kind of women you usually hang out with..but I won't give you my number.. I won't give you anything of mine.. mine.. in the sense of not being vulgar... and now call Pietro please.. because even that we spent a nice afternoon and evening together now I'm tired and I want to go to sleep and I've already been called too much like a pain in the ass today.. So now please can you do it for me.. please!! >> But Mara calls on her phone << love are you the car on the seafront.. >> << yes it's us.. >> <> << thank goodness.. I wanted to call you too... >> << good mom..I'm coming!! >> Christel closes the phone looks at Cosimo and says to him: << Ciao Cosimo it was nice to do business with you... but our trip ends here...>> and she gets out of the car to go to the driver's side.. he gets off passing her the keys and greets her with a kiss on the cheek and says: << wait to say the last word.. never say never.. remember...>> and she screams << what does that mean?! >> he doesn't answer say hello to Mara.. Christel waves to Pietro with her hands and gets in the car..

Mara is all electrified:<< So you kissed? Did you give your number? When will you see each other again?? This will be a book novel yours I feel it.. I'm more excited for you than for me and Pietro!! >> Christel stops the car and looks at her with shocked eyes << what did you drink?? Tell me you're kidding...you recognise me..who am I?? Kisses the first time I meet a guy?? Not even on the first date.. then you remember that he is Irene's boyfriend and that Irene is Noemi's best friend.. yes?? Earth calls moon.... >> and then she starts the car laughing.. << so nothing?? Well I saw your looks and the complicity that was between you... I didn't see you look at anyone like that... >> << no nothing... I was just happy because I put Ciccio in his place... and we went out together only because of you... and your headbutts.. yours and Claudia's.. >> Mara shakes her head and remains silent..

They arrive at Claudia's house.. she gets out of the car.. they go up to the room.. Christel changes.. and gets ready to sleep and takes the phone from the bag.. and sees a text message from an unsaved number..

SMS < We'll only find out by living.. >

<< Maraaa.. >> << what's up why are you screaming everyone is sleeping... >> <>

SMS < If you're arguing with Mara about who gave me your number..it was you!! Look at the WhatsApp messages!! >

She opens WhatsApp and sees the video sent to him from her phone...

SMS < asshole..now I'll block you! >

SMS < we'll see... >

And she smiles inside.. Fuck this is not good!!
