Chapter 4

Julia

Honestly, I don't know how, I arrived at my apartment but I arrived. I run up the stairs towards the entrance hall of the building. And as soon as I barely put my feet there, the doorman was already with the packages in hand and already coming towards me .

From the expression on his face he was curious as to what I had won. He hands me the packages that Giovanni had sent me and I thank him and feel my hands trembling from holding him.

The curiosity of knowing what exactly was in it was driving me crazy and the urge to rip right there in the hall was huge and I make a huge effort to control myself.

I head towards the elevators and press the call button while waiting for them to arrive. I look at the packages again and I put them in my arms better and I see that the packaging was from a very famous store and I am shocked because this store, in addition to having beautiful sample models, was too expensive for my budget.

The elevator finally arrives and opens the doors and I enter I press the button for the floor and as soon as I press the button the doors close and the elevator starts to go up to my floor.

I started to move my body, already anxious, not seeing the time for that blessed elevator to arrive at the floor. As soon as the elevator stops on my floor, the doors barely open and I finally run out towards my apartment door and quickly grab the key from my dress pocket and open the door.

It opens and I walk in and close the door behind me. I go towards the bedroom and when I get there, I take the boxes to my bed and carefully place the boxes and along with them my purse and looking at them I am in doubt and which one should I open and I start to open the first box , small.

I take out the tissue papers it contained and pull out the first piece and give a whistle when I see that I've taken out a hanger with lingerie, transparent black.

- Damn, you're beautiful. – I say to myself. I keep caressing the delicate piece and at the same time I am afraid of damaging this beautiful piece. I put it aside. I pick up the small box and place it on the other side of the bed.

I pull out another box and open it and take the piece and when the dress comes out I'm speechless. He's too handsome. Only there is, however , this dress could not be worn with this bra alone even with the panties.

- My God... This man is crazy! – I was in shock and still speechless for the pieces he had bought me. I put the dress aside along with the lingerie . And the box I put it together with the other one on the same side. And then I go to the third box and when I open it , there was also a pair of thin heel sandals that made me completely in love with them. I pull them into my arms and I sit on the bed next to the boxes and I take one of the sandals and I put it on and I do the same thing with the other foot and I get to my feet.

I try to take a few steps to see how I would be walking without stumbling. I loved wearing heels, but these were too big and I never wore them because I was afraid of falling. Now testing here taking these steps I know I'll be able to walk without embarrassing myself.

- My God, this man knows how to shop. – I say to myself. And the thought comes to mind that he bought for some lover of his, the same things he bought for me and I don't like those thoughts. I know it sounds silly, but I like to think he never bought anything for his whores.

And thinking about these women he's been dating makes my stomach turn. It's a mixture of feelings of going to them and taking what's rightfully mine, even knowing that Giovanni wasn't mine. Lost in my thoughts, I barely hear a noise coming from somewhere and for a moment I don't know where it was coming from.

That's when I realize it was my cell phone and I reach down and grab the bag I had left on the bed next to the packages. I pick it up and answer it and see that it's my best friend who is calling me in a WhatsApp video call .

- Hi... - I greet her.

- Hey friend, how was your boy today? – she asks curiously and I smile mysteriously, still not wanting to tell her.

- funny, you should ask me, how was my day and not want to know as you said, my boy who is actually my boss.

- Hahahaha , hi friend, good night, how are you? How was your day?” she asks wryly and I roll my eyes at her. – Now tell me about that delight of your boss.

- You know you're married, don't you?- I remind her and I see her roll her eyes at me.

- You know that Adriano is my delight too. - she jokes and smiles.

- Yes I know, you are crazy about each other. - I reply feeling slightly envious of my crazy friends' relationship and wishing that for myself too.

- Yes I love, that man, madly. -she declares and I notice how her eyes shine too much.

- Yes I know! I reply smiling at her who reciprocates.

- Now, stop winding me up and tell me about that delight. – she asks again and knowing that there was no way to escape, I start to tell her everything that happened and until the moment that I had some packages. - Ahhh , fuck ! Show me , I want to see what he bought. - She screams and I smile and turn the camera to her side and start showing them one by one and hearing her sigh between the wow lines.

- What's up?- I ask when I finish showing everything or rather almost everything.

- Friend, for the love of God this man has fallen for you!- she declares and I smile sadly.

- Calm down my friend, he only bought it because we have to go to this event. - I declare making it very clear.

- My God, Ju this man is crazy about you, look at these clothes he bought for you!- She says with so much conviction that I almost believe her.

- So what, he might have bought it for his girlfriends too! – I remember her not wanting to let me be influenced by her words. As soon as I finish saying these words, I notice that another call is appearing and when I look and notice that it is also a video call from none other than my delicious boss, as my best friend says, it is Giovanni. - My God...

- What happened?- Helena asks curiously.

-You won't believe who is calling me on video call? – I warn her and I hear her scream!

- No? She yells again and I nod my head. - You're going to answer him, you heard!

- I don't... - I answer quickly and she looks at me and says:

- Yes! You go answer it and then you call me as soon as he's finished. – and without waiting for my answer she hangs up the call and I tremble all over to see that he still insisted on calling me and I take a deep breath and answer and when I look at him I notice that he is in his room and more precisely in his bed and what got excited very quickly went to see that he was shirtless and God this man is too perfect.

- Hi, Julia... - He simply says my name and there I am practically dripping to the floor as if I were melting, just like those WhatsApp memes and I stare at him not knowing what to say, because at that moment I wasn't trusting in myself and God, and I noticed a drop of water run down her body and I knew she was, fucked up because I wanted to invade her cell phone and climb her body and lick that drop of water that had run down her chest.
