Capítulo 21: 21. Lorenzo
We had made love all day, but the next day everyone resumed their tasks and it was impossible to find time to be together.
I was hoping that the night would come and that the place would close down so I could go to my room and be with Ginevra, as I had told her to move in with me.
"Lorenzo," Jacob called me back after Ginevra had come to say goodbye for the night, since her evening shift ended early.
"What happened?" I asked immediately, noticing my friend's dreary and worried expression. Ever since I told him that Ginevra was going to stay here despite her connection with the Rinaldis, our relationship had been a little strained.
"Can I talk to you about Ginevra?"
"Still? No, I already explained to you. I trust her and I know she would never betray me. "
"I wouldn't be so sure."
"Jacob," I stopped him in such a threatening tone that only a fool would had pushed the issue further.
"Do as you like, but at least ask your girlfriend why she went to Lucky Molan today to ask him to put her in contact with Maya Gerber!" He snapped furiously.
"What the fuck are you saying?" I got angry in turn feeling a pang in my chest. Was it possible that Jacob was telling the truth? Ginevra had sworn to me that she was done with the Rinaldis! I believed her.
She had given herself to me with love and trust, swearing to love me.
"Ginevra came to ask me for the phone number of Maya Gerber's boyfriend Lucky Molan this morning. I gave it to her, and she asked me not to tell you anything not to worry you, even though I think she knew I would never keep my mouth shut with you. Anyway, she called him and asked him to help her get in touch with ... Chelsea. Lucky doesn't know that the girl's real name is Maya. He accepted and agreed to meet her in the afternoon to leave her his iPad with access to Lezioniprivate.com as well as chatting with Maya. "
"Do you know what they said?" I mumbled, still incredulous that I had been taken so easily.
"No. I asked Lucky, generously rewarding him, but he only knew that from the next room he heard that they were fighting over an unexpected betrayal. "
"Anything else?"
"No. I'm sorry, but I had to tell you. "
I barely listened to his apologies because I had already left for my apartment in search of Ginevra.
I entered the house with the speed of lightening and found Ginevra wet, wrapped in her bathrobe, coming out of the bathroom.
"Are you all right?" She asked worriedly. I didn't know what I looked like at the time, but I felt one step away from committing murder.
"Tell me. What did you say to Maya Gerber? "
I overpowered her, approaching her like a fury.
"I told her not to come here tomorrow because I'm not going to go home."
"Don't lie to me!" I yelled at her. I was so upset that I no longer knew if she was telling me a lie or the truth.
"Lorenzo, that's the truth," she replied calmly. "I told her I love you. She got angry and we fought. She threatened to tell everything to my ... to all the Rinaldis. I told her I just want to be happy and here I feel loved and at home. "
"Did you tell her what I told you about Esposito?"
"I told her I had discovered something about him that would have stopped the wedding, but I didn't go into details."
"Fuck, you promised me you'd be quiet! If this marriage does not happen ... "
"The wedding is already off."
"What the hell are you saying? Did Maya say something I don't know? "
"No. I can only tell you that Ginevra has fallen in love with another man and that she does not intend to marry Brian Esposito. "
"Christ, if what you say is true, there will be a true uproar. Who is this new suitor? "
"Why do you want to know?"
"Actually, I'm simply curious to know who the idiot is who will soon end up in the obituaries of the local newspaper. Nobody can get away with it when the business of the two most powerful families in town is at stake," I chuckled bitterly.
"Do you know him by any chance?" I asked suspiciously when I saw her turn pale and unable to utter a single word. I was sure she knew that man. And very well. Too much, for my taste.
"I don't want to talk about it," she stirred, going back to the bathroom, but I stopped her.
"I don't know what happened between you and that man, because you obviously know him, but I remind you that you are mine now," I said nervously, grabbing her roughly by the arm.
"It's not what you think, but I don't want you to talk about him like that," she murmured uneasily, unable to look me in the face.
"You feel something for him!" I felt it and her blushing face was the straw that broke the camel's back.
"There are things you don't know, and I can't tell you yet because first I have to make sure nobody can hurt you," she mumbled with difficulty, making me even more nervous.
"The only thing you have to make sure of is that I never have to find out I have to share you with someone else," I said authoritatively, taking possession of her mouth in a rough kiss that could erase any other thoughts.
"Lorenzo, please, I ...", Ginevra tried to say, but I stopped the rest of her sentence with another kiss, while I untied her bathrobe and undressed her quickly.
For a moment she tried to free herself and to cover herself, but I quickly lowered myself on her, canceling all her hesitations as soon as my tongue slipped wet and warm on her small breast.
This time I did not hold back and, without trying to be discreet, I penetrated her with my fingers.
I unbuttoned my pants and lowered them.
Then I did the same with the black boxers.
I didn't want to get undressed but only to punish her for the hesitation I had read in her gaze when talking about that man.
"Lorenzo, "she panted a step away from orgasm, but I removed my hand in time.
Ginevra groaned in pain for that interruption right as she was enjoying that most beautiful moment.
"Let me enjoy," I ordered, making her bend over in front of me.
I took her hair in my hands and pulled her face upwards, towards my hard member ready to be tasted.
Not without a hint of hesitation, I saw Ginevra approach and take it in her mouth.
"Good girl. So ... ", I panted, feeling her shy tongue brush the rod and then go back to the tip. I let her get comfortable with my penis and when she finally started sucking on it, I had to restrain myself not to come into her mouth.
"Get up," I ordered, taking her by the buttocks and bringing her to hug my hips with her legs.
Thanks to that position, I was able to penetrate her easily.
I pushed furiously into her.
"Why are we doing this?" Ginevra asked me at some point, rejecting my kiss.
"To forget," I replied, thinking how bad Ginevra's past made me feel with its memories and the men who still filled her mind, with the fear that one day they might take her away from me.
"Sex cannot help you. You are just trying to possess me, to make me yours, to bend me to your jealousy, "she said, getting rid of me and getting back on her feet. 'You once told me that I must never get used to a man's arrogance. Therefore, I am telling you that if this is the relationship you want, then you are the wrong person. I love you, Lorenzo, but we can never be happy if you don't trust me or respect me. "
I didn't know whether to be more upset by her words or by her calm, cold, precise, and knifelike tone, like a scalpel in the hands of an expert surgeon.
The truth was that I was in pieces and that relationship born of lies and secrets still hidden, was tearing my soul to pieces like a ferocious animal, bloodthirsty and hungry for all that was good in me.
"I ... I'm sorry," I barely managed to pronounce.
"Apologies accepted. Can we go to sleep now? Tomorrow I have to get up early and get the rooms ready. "
"I don't want you to work that much anymore. I could upgrade your responsibilities or ... ", I said realizing that, even though Ginevra was my woman now, she had never stopped being a waitress and had never asked for a privileged position.
"I didn't think I would say this, but the truth is that I like to be busy and take care of the Bridge. By now this place is like a home for me. I like to redo the rooms, put a small bunch of lavender between the cushions, serve at the tables and see people happy and satisfied with the service. In addition, the chef added my carrot and grapefruit glazed spaghetti to the menu. Not to mention that Marielle is now like a mother to me, while Randy and Josh are the two younger brothers I never had. We all love each other very much and support each other. I am fine and I would not want to switch my job in fear of losing this harmony, even if now everyone knows that we are together and I am a little intimidated, "she told me with eyes shining with happiness.
"All right," I gave in, relieved to read contentment on her face.
"I just wish things got better between us too, but I realize that there are still too many obstacles and secrets; however I promise you that I will soon find a way to get rid of my past and tell you everything."
I wanted to tell her that I trusted her, but jealousy was a bad adviser with a strong power over me. Besides, I could trust her, but I would never trust others and I knew that if I let my guard down even once, sooner or later someone would come to take me away from Ginevra forever.
