—Don't worry, they are taking care of me. —I turn to point at them, they remain in line and Leone has the letter in his pants pocket—. Let's go eat and bring them something.
-Come on.
The infinite number of dishes are distributed on tables, everything I crave I swirl on my plate, putting it in small portions so that I can try everything. I make their own dishes for them as well as the escorts, this meal is enough to eat three times for each member of the festival.
Empanadas, pastas, salads, meats, pizza, desserts; bread and a lot more variety that I put on the plate. I also serve the lemonade in several glasses and place the desserts on a napkin. I could be a woman who challenges, defies, has a bad face at times, but I always worried about those who accompanied me.
David and I deliver the food to the escorts, they refuse and I make a face at them because this food cannot be left until the end and end up being thrown in the trash. We take the other rations and give them to the brothers, Ginevra thanks us. She pushes her brothers with her arms to take the plates.
"Thanks Emily," Dom says. Do you have some sauce?
—Of course I'll bring it.
"Thank you Fiore," Leone mutters when I turn around and listen to what he says to his brother: "Glubber."
—It's free food, take advantage, besides you don't bend with her but with a little girl.
I laugh quietly until I give Dom what he asked for, when I walk away I dedicate myself to eating with my best friend, the mothers invite us to the table, we talk and after the meal there are the dances that they dedicate to the mothers by group . Luckily there are only the groups that want to sign up and David did it for two, his group and mine.
The school yard is filled with streamers, balloons, flowers and candy that the children end up devouring. Dances, songs and congratulations continue to close all this. I notice that I have to go to the bathroom, I have to go around some rooms, hallways and those on the ground floor are busy so I go to the stairs to go to the first floor.
I find them empty, only a mother comes out, greets me and continues walking with her daughter. It doesn't take me long to relieve myself. I think a little about all the sudden change and what I should do, which is resign, something I reconsider because I won't be able to come all the time.
I don't even have a way to communicate, he still has my cell phone and I highly doubt he wants to give it back to me now that he finds out that I didn't resign at work.
I rinse my hands, touch up my hair, making the ponytail tighter, and leave to return along the same path, which is the stairs. Fabian meets his niece who tells him to go downstairs so she can wait for him with her mother. They never come to these events because they find it boring. Now it's different and I just try to move forward until he intervenes.
"Don't touch me," I warn. Don't even think that you are a great man who only wants to fix things with me, you want to hurt me. This is over.
—I don't want to hurt you, Emily, I have always loved you.
-What's the game? "I challenge him." I think you really want to die, you plan to play with your best ally and—she furrows her eyebrows—I'm not stupid, you're not the only one who has the powerful on her side to make her moves. You're not going to hurt me.
He analyzes the bandage that still surrounds his hand, licks his lips and barely smiles.
—Things are always done as those above you dictate, you will never be someone in life who matters, no one will care about your job, your life, your favorite color or shit like that because you are a bore who only lives in her colorful world with a lot of brats who keep filling you with snot and their dirt.
I try not to appear affected, I have to keep putting the mask on my face so that it doesn't get inside my head and believe that it continues to have influence.
—That's what you think.
—Do you already have someone interested in you?
The boys approach, arriving by other stairs, they go in silence and looking from one side I see that Domenico puts his finger to his lips. I don't say anything, they approach carefully, remaining stealthy.
—Yes, I have someone who is interested in me, who knows that you are going to end up dead and I am capable of... —I think about it, it doesn't matter contradicting me right now on some issues—; tell him to kill you tomorrow.
Leone and Domenico are so close and Fabian takes a step to look for my face and kiss me, however, they unholster the gun and load the barrel against his head. He stands still, leaning against me, I put my hand against his lips and smile.
—Do you want me to kill you? —I ask amused—. Do you want to be the worst ally for your new friend? Because I can do it Fabian, after all you always depended on me to even buy a damn beer, you bastard.
I push him until they receive him in their arms, they look at me, something changes in that judging look that they had cast at the beginning.
“To the truck, Emily,” Leone says. We have a message to burn into this scum.
-Which message?
—Emily. —When Dom says my name it seems more like a request—. Please.
