- hey, WAKE UP

I jumped up on the chair when I hear Luan scream.

- don't scream early, my ears are sensitive.

- early Ellen? It's three o'clock in the afternoon and you've been looking like a fool for half an hour, smiling alone - with a deep sigh he adds - why can't I find a man like that too, tell me?

- because there is only one and is already mine.

- if i remember well, until yesterday he was the worst man on earth. I collected the worst adjectives in the world, my chief goddess.

- things have changed. That was it.

I get up and go to get a coffee, avoiding Luan's comments. There is no way to explain that one day you hate someone and the next you love them. My cell phone on the table rings.

- answer for me Luan, I'm out of patience today. I help myself with a very strong, sugar-free coffee. Sugar is fattening. I choke and let the drink spill into my blouse when I hear Luan speak: - I'll tell you that you did the advertisement, I know it's huge. You have a brother? My God is Giacomo. I run and take the phone out of his hand.

- you went crazy, get out of here and call the lawyer. Let me know I'm going to be half an hour late for the meeting.

Today we are going to settle the last details of the audience. I don't let it show and I don't say anything to anyone, but I'm scared to death. Luan sulks with the scolding, knocking on the door. Yes it's not normal, I have a secretary, whatever, very temperamental.

- hi heart, I didn't know that you had already talked about me so well. I told you that I had great things to show you- Giacomo comments mockingly.

- Luan is sort of a man and has been imagining lying things.

- I already told you that you lie very badly. His voice comes out lower than normal and I'm sure his eyes are now turned upwards. What the hell, they are. How can he know so much about me? And Luan with that big mouth, I just made a comment and he's already telling the world.

- I am also concerned because you have an appointment with another lawyer. Are you cheating on me already baby?

- I don't have a appointment, I have a meeting to solve some problems.

- anything I can help you with? - he asks with a certain concern in his voice.

- maybe, I need to explain the case to you sometime. Not now. I want to know why you called me.

- because I'm already homesick, wanting to kiss your beautiful mouth and take you to bed again - his sweet voice makes me sigh.

- and when do you intend to do that, Mr. Giacomo? We agreed to meet tomorrow.

- I can't take it until tomorrow. I'll give you my address and wait for you for dinner.

- I know, you will take me to the slaughterhouse. You must already have a specific place to receive women at your home - I can't hide my jealousy, I hate to think about his past.

- you are always wrong baby. I never took any women who were interested to my apartment. You will be the first. I would like you to stop constantly reminding yourself of the women who have been with me. You are important Ellen if you were not, I would have even forgotten your name after i left your house.

- you are also important Giacomo. You already have me in full.

- then we will stop here or I will have to leave now to pick you up.

- tell me where you live then.

I write down his address and we agreed to meet at eight. When I turn off my cell phone, I grab my bag and leave. I'm going to get something to eat quickly and go back to see the lawyer.

When I get in the elevator I run into my uncle Chris. I don't say anything, I pretend he's not there. Obviously he is not satisfied with my attitude.

- enjoying your last days here at Pompeo? I kill that worm anytime.

I open a beautiful smile and say: - in fact, uncle I'm taking a lot of advantage, even to make my income double and be able to see your idiot face in court.

He doesn't answer anything. He takes his cell phone out of his jacket pocket and turns the audio on for me.

- listen ellen this beautiful testimony of your father in a meeting with me. Then I hear my father's voice ring out. "She has no idea. She's my daughter and I love her, but I know she can't look past her own nose"

A tear falls when I hear his voice. It's not possible, why did he say that? The audio continues "it is quite possible that if she leaves Pompeo one day, the employees instead of wages will receive scholarships" In the background of the audio I hear my uncle's mocking laugh.

- you are a con man of the worst kind, you disgusting rat- I take my bag and start beating him wildly

- I hope my father will pull his foot at night.

The elevator doors open and I realize that there are a lot of people at the reception watching me smack Chris. I am disheveled and very close to the image of madness. So I stop, straighten my hair, approach Chris, kiss him on the cheek and leave smiling.

- this uncle of mine is very funny, play fighting with me- and I go around wiggling. Nothing like a good actress.

When I get in the car, I wipe my mouth for kissing that disgusting old man. I start the car and get out, aimlessly. I let the tears flow freely. How could my father say such cruel words about me. I connect my cell phone to Bluetooth and call Giacomo. I try to keep my voice calm.

- hi Giacomo, are you able to speak.

- with you always heart. What is it? Miss me already?

- I need a hug- a sob escapes, I take a deep breath.

- are you crying Ellen? My God, what happened? Where are you? -He asks desperately.

- inside the car, going around without knowing where to.

- go to my apartment, that address I gave you, I'm getting there already.

- thank you Gi- I say. I turn off my cell phone and head to the location indicated by the GPS.

And an elegant building in an upscale neighborhood of São Paulo. I announce myself at the entrance and they let me up. Giacomo is already waiting for me. He lives on the roof and it seems like forever to get there. When the elevator doors open he is already waiting for me with open arms.He does not say anything. I hug and cry for everything, for the absence, for the longing, for the difficulties and even for my broken nails.

- shhhhhh baby. You need to stay calm and tell me what's going on, -he says as he strokes my hair.

- I hate myself, I always do everything wrong. I killed my father and mother and now I discover that my father has always found me useless - I say through tears.

- hey, don't say that- he walks away, takes my face in his hands and looks me in the eyes. - why are you saying that child? You are the most special person I have ever met. Look what you're doing to me.I looks silly today, laughing for nothing. How can you say that?

- you don't know me well. My father said before he died that I can only look at my own nose ...

- it must be because you have the most beautiful and perfect nose I have ever seen.

The compliment pleases me a lot and I smile between tears as he tenderly kisses the tip of my nose.

- Do you want to tell me everything that is going on baby? - he asks - there is something behind your eyes when you smile. Fear, sadness. And I can't stand to see that.

- I was always spoiled, arrogant, always thinking I could go get stars if I wanted to. Only my heart was never bad, do you believe me, Giacomo? -I ask, as if my mental integrity depends on it.

- you are beautiful inside and out - taking my head in his hands, kiss me softly - the problem is that you scare people, because you know you can search for the stars if you wish. And only that heart. If I give you the gifts I bought, can I get a smile?

- if it's the stars I can think- I answer smiling.

- to see you smiling and wiping away those tears, I can think of something like that. You know that I'm good with gifts.

- we need to talk about it sometime. You always put my presents under yours. Why do you do that?

- because affecting you has been my favorite pastime- he counters with a mischievous smile.

- affect me affect you?

- always baby, always. Leaning his forehead gently on mine, he whispers words of comfort. And maybe I have never felt so protected in my life. - here it is - he hands me a golden package, full of teddy bears.

Like a child I sit on the sofa, with my body resting on my legs and open the gift. His look seems fascinated about my actions. I take out a Pandora jewelry box. Inside is a bracelet with several pendants hanging from it. All the details he found out about me. A Mikey, the USA flag, it takes me a long time to identify a silver ball. I look at him with question marks in my eyes.

- a baby cookie, the last in the pack. You. My smile doesn't seem to fit inside the apartment. I come across a heart of diamonds, attached to a small key. - the key to my heart. You've already opened it, I'm waiting for you to lock it and don't let anyone else in. - Giacomo takes me and I jump into his arms. - there are more things in the bag. I let go of his embrace and run to look inside. Two airline tickets to Orlando. I scream. - let's meet Mickey. In fifteen days, I invited Mark and Lexie if you don't mind.

- I did not need all this Giacomo- I say with a voice choked with emotion.

- for you baby, the world.

- How am I going to pay for all this? - I ask.

- all i want now is for you to make love to me. But first I want to ask you something - he meant it - do you want to date me? I nodded, touched again, but with a different feeling, joy.

-Giacomo Gianniotti wants to date me?

-you have many more beautiful things in the world heart.

The next few hours were filled with ecstasy. I was able to take full advantage of everything he offered me, without fear of what would come next, without the concern of abandonment. A true feeling of love, when responded, rips barriers like an endless torrent of white water. When you have no more space to store your sadness, it will fade to dust at the end of the day, when you receive a hug from someone important. I finally realized that things could end well, that despite everything, even if I can't beat my uncle in court, with Giacomo by my side to protect me and hug me, everything will end well!
