"Are you finished?"' I hear him ask behind my back

" almost " I answer, but feeling that he started to kiss me I try to move, but then he holds me down

"come on stop it " I was just finishing I was missing a few words ...

"you know you're even sexier when you're angry?"

he said getting me up and making me sit on him so I could feel how horny he was

"come on anto ten minutes and I'm done"

"dictate that I'll write" he said, but even so it wasn't easy, I felt his erection against me and the more I moved uncomfortably on his leg, wanting to concentrate, the more I couldn't do it, the more I got nervous and the more I felt him getting aroused.

What a situation ...

"Get up for a moment," I told him at last.

He got up and in two minutes I had finished. I pressed the button and that was it.

"Can you give me some time now?" he says.

"Sure, what exactly did you want?" I ask him, even though I knew very well what he wanted.

he drew me towards him and I was breathless

From the way I felt him against me, I could already understand that tonight he was going to hit me hard.

He didn't even give me time to understand what to do when he was already undressing me.

"God, Anto... in the studio."

I somehow managed to say.

"Why not in the office? Yes, it's here! What's the difference? And the door's locked?" We make love there on the carpet and then, like two teenagers, we run through the house naked and undetected to go upstairs for a quick shower.

in the morning I double-check everything and when we arrive I ask at the reception desk "the plan of adam stevens".

after a quick check he says

"twentieth floor side A"

"ok thanks" and seeing Antonio looking at me questioningly I say "I have to bring him the documents".

"do you want me to go with you?"

"no, I won't be long".

So I stop at the 20th floor and he continues on his way to the office.

It takes me a while to identify his position but once again his back was turned and I involuntarily say

"rob.. " and he suddenly lifts his head was lowered getting some papers in his bag and for a moment I had mistaken him for him .

"anna has been dead for five years he's not coming back" my head was saying

and yet there was something about him that was unmistakable...

"anna" he said smiling in that voice which gave me the shivers every time

"I ... brought you ... your documents," I said almost stammering, but what was happening to me?

I avoided looking him in the eyes I didn't want to see

They were so similar...

each time it was a pain...

and yet the face was totally different.

"Are you okay?" he asked again

"yes everything OK! I have to go now!"

"yes it's fine ... thanks"

"no.. . no problem"

I said as I left, what was happening to me!

I sounded like a girl with a first crush who started stammering . ...

When I got up Antonio was busy I looked at the time.

Half past eight.

The video conference was in half an hour.

I wait

he was always busy

maybe he didn't remember .

I wait a few more moments then knock

"come in" I hear and enter, and to my surprise it was ernesto.

what was he doing here?

"Has something happened?" I asked, alarmed.

"No, no, don't worry," ernesto answered, "I was just passing by and I came to say hello and to tell you if you'd like to come over on Saturday so the kids can play together.

"ah ok! yes that's fine" I say with a sigh of relief "I was coming because the video conference is about to start and I'm going alone? "

"no let's go together" he replies surprised and at the same time gets up

"ernesto see you on Saturday then"

"OK ... Anna" he greets me as he leaves.

"Come on, it's late" I say seeing that he didn't move "I have the documents" I say

"What's the rush?" he asked, amused.

"It's just that we're late, come on, walk! "

I said

"Give me a kiss or I'm not coming!" he said, smiling.

"You're worse than children ..." I answer him in the same tone but as soon as my lips touch his I go into a tailspin.

and now?

what would I have done at the video conference?

Would I have been able to interpret as requested?

Despite my doubts, I'm doing so well that they want us to meet in person next time and for me to be there.

"You impressed me!" said Antonio proudly as we went to lunch.

"I thought I wouldn't make it and instead..."

"you have to believe in yourself more and remember that you are Mrs. riva I wouldn't have chosen you if you weren't special".

she said kissing me

We were at the bar and I felt as if someone was watching me, but there was no one...

It was just my imagination and yet...

the sense of embarrassment I felt was real.

And he, as usual, noticed my state.

"Don't tell me you're still embarrassed that I kiss you in public!"

"No! I just feel like I'm being watched."

"And you let them look at beautiful things, you always look at them."

he tells me very quietly I lean heavily against him

and closing my eyes for a moment I think about the fact that since Roberto was gone, he was even less jealous.

I had always wondered why but I had never had the courage to ask.

Or maybe there was no real reason...
