Chapter 6 - Reggio Calabria City

As they approach Siderno, an unexpected text message arrives at Christel

< Hi, how are you? Did you get ready for Friday's exam? I need a good review.. are you back in Reggio? Maybe I can stop by your place and bring a pizza. Marco >

Christel couldn't believe it, she had been waiting for that text message for months... He's doing it now!! She sees it as a sign of destiny..he was the only one who could keep her away from Cosimo.. Marco! They've been studying in Reggio together for years.. same group.. same places.. and she liked him to death.. a smart guy with a high average and beautiful.. as beautiful as the Sun on the Sea.. that's how she defined it.. Tall, Blonde, Light eyes and a amazing body.. he went to the gym every day.. even in a simple truck suit pants and a simple t-shirt would drove everyone crazy at the university.. he had asked her number one evening after an evening at the pub.. they had drink and joked together all evening.. Christel hadn't even thought twice about giving it to him.. but he had never looked for her until today.. in order not to get caught by Cosimo she sends him the message right away

< Hi Marco.. what a surprise.. I also need to review.. I'll be in Reggio in a few hours.. See you at my place at 7:30 pm if that's okay with you.. do you remember where I live?? And I recommend the pizza ahaha >

Marco answers her right away < Of course.. if you arrive a little earlier I can reach you even earlier and we order the pizza directly from there so it doesn't get cold.. and so you order the one you like.. and I'm not doing nothing wrong lol! > < ok I'll try to get there around six I'll see you there at 6:30 pm okay? > < perfect see you later! > < see you later >

Cosimo brings her back to reality << Who is it that sends you all these text messages >> oh no he caught me << Noemi >> << No it's not Noemi you've become all red.. >> << mo also red.. listen you're not my boyfriend.. >> << I decided to accompany you to Reggio.. maybe spending time together will do us good.. >> << We're spending too much time together and I need to focus on the exam..and I told you I also need to think about it..>> << it's okay okay.. >> << oh we've finally arrived I have to run away.. >> Cosimo parks in the usual place near her car and she immediately gets out of the car to get on the driver's side.. they say goodbye.. and Cosimo tries to kiss her but she dodges and gets into the car immediately.. She couldn't believe it.. his thought was to run home to pack his suitcase.. say hello to her parents and leave for Reggio and be able to arrive even a little earlier to fix the house.. So she does.. and asks her parents for monthly financial support to be able to face the expenses and stay in Reggio always without having to go back and forth every week.. her parents are very happy..she had finally accepted the thing and so she starts again.

Mara receives a phone call << Chri you've arrived.. >> << No honey I'm still in Melito.. but it's almost there..>> << ok love..claudia told me you have to talk to me..>> << yes love.. I talked to her about it before.. because I couldn't stop by her house.. I left my job for good and I decided to get help from my parents in Reggio.. >> << But how in Reggio?? And Cosenza?? >> << Love let me finish.. >> << I know where you want to go already.. >> << if you say it like that I won't tell you anything.. >> << Shoot.. >> << Today I received a text message from Marco.. you realise.. Marco.. >> << Noo I don't believe it..>> << he's coming home tonight and he'll bring the pizza too hahaha >> << But excuse me but Cosimo?? >> << My love Cosimo he's very different from me.. too much.. he's too much.. Marco and I have everything in common..as you have with Pietro..you study together..you understand each other.. and I'm sure I can find the same thing in Marco.. Cosimo attracts me..he confuses me and I like him maybe too much.. more than I should.. but he's not for me.. the whole side dish is not for me.. What my father would think? At least even if he comes from a family like that Pietro studies.. he will do the same job as us.. Cosimo doesn't even want to help his brother at work.. >> << Love I'm afraid you'll get burned.. and badly.. but anyway I'll always be here for you.. focuuu (Calabrese expression as if to say Oh my God ) for the first time it's me to be a mother.. what's going on.. the roles have been reversed.. >> they laugh << why do you think I burn myself.. >> << Because you always liked Marco and I knew that sooner or later that text message would arrive.. but you like Cosimo and a lot.. and you have various reasons and some even true, and I don't blame you.. he is different from you.. his family is different from yours or at least you think so.. then you never know, we can't judge from the cover, but I've never seen you look at anyone like you look at Cosimo and I'm not telling you just because he's a friend of Pietro and I want you to come to Cosenza >> << I don't I know but I've arrived..I have to go sorry love.. >> << no go ahead and think about what I told you!! >> << ok love..please don't say anything to Pietro because I don't want to find Cosimo under the house.. >> << I'm sorry it's impossible you've already heard me talking on the phone.. >> << Noo fuck..>> << don't worry I'll keep an eye on him and tell him to open his mouth I'll kill him>> << no I don't say anything but I would beg you not to keep yourself with two feet in two shoes Cosimo doesn't deserve all this..at least he was more than honest with you>> << I would never do it.. ok bye>> << Bye!! >>

Christel goes upstairs, takes a shower, arranges her things in the room and while she's getting ready at the house she sends a text message to Cosimo telling him that she's arrived and Cosimo calls her right away: << What's up now?? >> << Oh my God you killed me.. >> << I told you I need to study.. >> << but you where a mess and took you to long I was worried.. >> << I wanted to settle down earlier and I had to fix the house too.. I brought a lot of things, I'm moving here.. >> << What?? >> << yes we'll talk about it tomorrow calmly..I'm waiting for friends to study>> << friend?? >> << by Cosimo! >> and closes.

The Bell rings.. Marco has arrived. Christel runs away to open the door and Marco goes up. Beautiful as ever, tight jeans, white sweater, blue and white Nike vest, perfect hair stopped with the gel, and white blue Nike just like the vest. Perfectly matched and with a one-spider backpack with all its things for the exam. << hello welcome.. >> << Hi Chri thanks for letting me study together.. I'm ruined.. I haven't done much in these weeks!! >> << Noo don't tell me like that..I was hoping for you!! >> << What are you saying?? You are always very prepared.. >> <> << ahh here it!! It's already better.. >> << Come sit down I made coffee and I'll get some cookies to start.. >> << wow so much stuff.. last time you were making fun of Mara because she didn't keep anything in the house.. >> << No this is all my stuff.. I moved here to Reggio from today on.. and Mara from tomorrow moves to Cosenza.. The house will be only mine.. >> << Finally at least we can always hang out more if you want.. I never knew when to find you.. I wanted to write to you for weeks, but I knew I would find you close to the exam.. >> << why didn't you do it.. I would have come back earlier..>> << you are usually very closed, super busy, always in a hurry, I don't even know if there is someone in your life..>> << what does this have to do with studying together..>> << eh well you know.. you understand right?? >> << understood what?? >> and laughs << why are you laughing?? >> << better to laugh than to cry.. >> << yes be nice now.. okay.. okay.. >> and gets up and approaches her who is leaning against the kitchen counter.. << what are you doing?? >> he tells her running a hand through her hair << I'm waiting for the coffee >> she replies shifting her gaze, he lifts her chin << I mean in the next few months..do you have any commitments? >> << I don't know.. what kind of commitments should I have? >> << come on don't make me die..tell me if there's someone in your life..>> << I have to be honest, I don't want to start anything between lies, there's a guy who upset me and even kissed me a couple of hours ago.. and in the last two days.. >> at those words he dodges << no wait.. I know he's not the right guy for me, he has a vision of life and how to live life opposite to mine, I want to end all kinds of relationship with him.. >> << Are you sure? I don't want problems.. >> << I could have lied you and you would never known.. >> <> he approaches her again << maybe..>> << maybe this can help you decide.. >> he kisses her..slowly..softly almost not even touching her lips.. << mmm..I don't know..>> she answers biting her lip.. << mm so maybe now I have to try again..>> this time he leans with one hand on the kitchen cabinet and with the other he holds her head, starts kissing her, she lets herself go, incredulous, he lifts her up and sits her on the kitchen counter and continues to kiss and hug her, he starts moving his hands on her, on her breasts, he starts to turn on the desire on her.. And the coffee brings her back to reality, so she pushes him away and comes down from the counter. << excuse me did I do something wrong? >> it wasn't him who was wrong but her, thinking about Cosimo, what she is up to, she's not that kind of girl, she doesn't kiss two guys in a day, she had never behaved like that << chri answer I'm worried..>> and approaches her and hugs her << it's not you, you didn't do anything wrong, on the contrary it was a beautiful kiss..>> << eh then why did you move.. it could become even more beautiful..>> << ok.I'm not this kind of girl, I don't kiss two guys in a day, and above all I don't let myself go like that Too much.. do you understand? >> << But I don't think badly of you.. even if you kissed him before, I appreciated your sincerity, I wouldn't have liked to find out something like that, I would have moved away from you right away and I would have seen you with different eyes, even if discovering it, however, it made me a little jealous, annoyed, it must be a jerk to make a girl like you run away..>> << it's not such an asshole, he won't let go easily, unfortunately I don't even know how to tell him about it, I'm actually, I'm surprised that he hasn't come under the house yet!! >> << I'm not afraid of him, I'll put him in place don't worry!! >> <> << what kisses two in one day, don't make me repeat it please!! >> << no.. not only that..I'm a virgin and I don't think I can let myself go before the wedding >> and runs to the bathroom and closes the door << chri you locked yourself in the bathroom because you have to go or because you're ashamed >> << the second >> << ok open >> << no tell me what you think from the door >> << it's beautiful that you're still a virgin at your age, there's nothing to be ashamed of >> << ok and on the final part.. >> << I have to think about it, it's not easy for me to contain myself especially when I kiss you, but I know I have to respect your time, even if it will be hard, you are beautiful and hormones are not so easy to contain, you will understand..>> << look I was in a relationship before you, I mean I kissed my ex like that and I knew how to contain myself.. >> << how old were you? >> she opens the door and looks at him annoyed << two years ago!! >> << mm you're even sexier when you get angry..>> << idiot>> he smiles hugs her and kisses her on the forehead << better stop and move away because we have to study and we want to study law not anatomy tonight in spite of myself>> <>

After two hours of continuous study << I'm hungry please let's start ordering pizza.. it will arrive by nine >><> << thank you!! I'll pick up some peanuts and chips to help us with hunger.. >> << ok I'll order the pizza.. >> Christel also starts preparing appetisers in the kitchen.. << you'll see that tomorrow the 30 (top score at University) no one will take it away from us..>> << come here 30!! >> and makes her sit on his legs and starts kissing her..without ever taking his lips away from hers, she tries to move away but he holds her close and moves her hair, starts kissing her on the neck, it causes her to shivers, and the desire to let go, the bell rings and they freeze. << Don't tell me that crazy girl has arrived, for sure it's not the pizza it's too early!! >> << I hope it's Mara!! >> << Why?? Oh, don't worry, I'll stop him with two words, in fact I'm going to open the door!! >> He goes to open the door downstairs without asking who it was, and starts waiting at the door. They arrive at the door: Mara, Pietro and Cosimo. Pietro enters first, they look into each other's eyes with Marco: << I can't believe it.. and what are you doing here?? >> and they hug << He's my boyfriend!! >> Mara answers and hugs Marco too << I can't believe you finally found someone with his head on his shoulders, how are you my friend?? We thought it was.. >> and Cosimo enters << Cosimo you here too, noo what a reunion tonight, we have to go out to celebrate!! >> << Marco and what are you doing here?? >> << I was studying with Christel, we have an exam on Friday.. But she's a bomb as usual and we're done before.. >> << A bomb that explodes too easily..>> and approaches her, but Christel takes Mara by the arm and drags her to her room << What the fuck are you doing here?? Are you taking Cosimo to me without telling me?? >> << You can't understand what happened, talking to Pietro about Marco he wanted to see a photo because he thought he knew him and so it was, he told me that he and Cosimo make "party together" and they have been friends for a lifetime, that he is a "Don Giovanni", who always tries with everyone, while he was about to finish Cosimo called and said that he was about to come here and that if I didn't give him the address he would find himself anyway, so we looked at eachother with Pietro and we calmed him down by telling him that I was closing the suitcases and that We were also ready to come here, to wait for us to pick him up. I tried to call you but you didn't answer. >> << I can't believe it.. Shit because all to me >> << You saw with your eyes they know each other and want to go celebrate >> << Not for long >> << What do you mean?? Noo don't tell me I didn't arrive on time!! >> Christel starts crying and sits on her bed, Mara sits next to her << why are you crying? >> to that question Cosimo also enters the room and to see her crying he bends on his knees in front of her << hey what's up, don't cry, I saw you nervous and worried on the phone, I was wrong to want to come here, if you want I'll leave right away >> << I made a mess >> Christel answers wiping her face << you better all go away >> << what a mess? >> asks Cosimo << Go away and leave us alone >> Mara replies << No, go away too, I need to be alone!! >> << What?? No way, I've already brought my things to stay until Friday and Pietro too, but I'm sure he'll understand.. >> << Do what you want.. do what you all want, it's all so much now, leave me alone.. >> << Oh what the fuck happened!! >> Marco and Pietro also enter those screams <> << You will be happy now with your conquest, in fact you both will be, you can laugh of kissing me on the same day!! Fuck you all..>> she takes her bag and runs into the corridor and closes the door behind her and goes down the stairs with Cosimo's screams behind her back << eh no beautiful this time you're not going anywhere >> and chases her down the stairs managing to reach her and pull her by the arm << I want to look at your face!! >> << look at me, come on say that I suck, say that you were wrong about me, that you thought I was a serious girl, with my head on your shoulders, that instead I am like all the others, come on you will feel better.. and now let me go.. >> << what do you want to do the victim now, no one will believe you! >> << it's fine anyway >> Cosimo starts shouting the name of Marco in the stairs who comes out of the apartment and quickly goes down the stairs, Christel tries to leave, but Cosimo stops her again << then tell me how long it's been going on.. >> << Cosimo excuse me she told me that today she kissed a guy but she didn't tell me his name and I didn't ask, Christel is a serious girl, I didn't think it was you..>> << ah you knew that she had kissed someone else and you kissed her anyway, you know she's a serious girl, you had serious intentions I see..>> << ok while you make your speeches, I'm leaving, I'm not going to stay here one more second>> << no you owe me clarifications, if Cosimo is so angry it means that you You lied to me too!! >> replies Marco << ok I can sit down at least. >> << yes but don't try to leave because I'll chase you all over Reggio. >> replies Cosimo << Marco tell me what she told you and what you did, now you can't lie neither you or her!! >> << we just kissed>> << just kissed?! >> << yes because she doesn't want to go any further.. I like her and she knows it.. >> << ah you know?? >> << we want to avoid at least the comments.. you can keep them to yourself >> << you're not in a position to dictate anything..>> << asshole >> << look it's better that I'm shut up >> << ok I'm leaving >> she gets up and Cosimo takes her by the arm and drags her back on the stairs << aia.. you hurt me.. leave me >> there Marco doesn't liked and blocks Cosimo and pushes him against the wall << Co under these conditions I'm not there either, keep your hands in place.. I want to understand something too, I seriously like Christel and I've never seen her like this in years that I've known her, and I care about her, but if you get to the hands you go fuck yourself!! >> << What?? Do you care about her?? >> << But who did you take me for?? I play in clubs, but at the house of a girl like her never... if I'm here to ask and give you explanations it's because I want to understand what the fuck happened, I'm not understanding, I've been courting her for months, only today I looked for her with the excuse of studying and I tried. But she confessed to me before that she kissed a guy and that she doesn't feel anything for this guy and doesn't want anything to do with him anymore.. and I let that go with her, but seeing you like this I realised something is wrong? But aren't you engaged to Irene anymore? >> << wait, wait.. you don't want anything to do with me anymore?? >> and looks Christel straight in the eyes, she swallows a lump in her throat and replies << It's true!! >> << Ok excuse me Marco everything is fine, it's all for you, I'll remove myself!! >> He turns around and goes to the exit door, Pietro comes down the stairs quickly and calls Cosimo << Co wait I'll come with you..>> then he turns to Christel << as usual you didn't understand anything and make hasty decisions.. >> << Pietro it's not your problem..you think about Mara! >> << Thank God >> and goes out to look for Cosimo.

Marco looks at her and shakes his head << You owe me explanations.. >> << I don't owe you anything either Don Giovanni >> << It's true I've never introduced myself as a Saint, I've had many girls and I've never introduced myself to them telling them that I wanted a serious relationship, except with you, I asked you what you had to do for the next few months, because I really wanted to get to know you I've been watching you for months, you never been around with guys, never trusted anyone. I certainly wouldn't ever expected this mess tonight!! >> << poor thing!! >> << stop it, you told me that you kissed Cosimo twice, doesn't it seem like a reaction of just two kisses?? I've never seen him like this...I've known him since we were kids >> << Kisses are true but I haven't told you everything.. Cosimo had serious intentions with me.. he broke up with Irene!! >> << Cosimo who breaks up with Irene and who starts a serious affair with you. Who are you?? >> << There is a strong understanding between us, since the first day we met and for two days something strong has exploded between us.. I don't know why?!!? >> << I think I know why... now tell me why you don't want it? >> << you always know everything tell me why I don't want it.. >> << I'm telling you the truth I don't know why you don't want it.. maybe you don't trust him.. at this point I don't know if you'll ever trust me too.. but Cosimo is a very good guy, like few, and with a big heart, now maybe he'll be black with me too..>> << you're sorry.. run to him, you're done with me anyway. We'll only see each other again at the university, maybe!! >> << Well, kind, I'm going to get my things.. >> << Go ahead >> and she goes out the front door.

<< Marco what happened?? Pietro can't find Cosimo.. >> << Well let's say you won't see me that much, you go to Cosenza and your friend dosen't want me etheir, I also thought I had finally found the right girl! Well, it's better to go back to playing!! >> << Well what did you said? Pietro told me that Christel told Cosimo that she doesn't want to know anything about it anymore, didn't you defend her? >> << Yes I defended her, I also pushed Cosimo who I consider as a brother and friend of a lifetime for her, Cosimo was ready to kill me with his eyes and now I lost a friend for nothing, because she doesn't want to know anything about it and turned out to be just a bitch!! >> << I don't understand anything anymore, too many things have happened, it's been a week that ours life has turned upside down.. she will be in pieces.. I try to tell her to come up!! >> << She's out.. I'm sorry Mara, I'm going!! >> << oh What a pain one more time. Well, see you next time! >>

<< Cosimo what the fuck are you doing? You leave Irene and don't come home to tell me anything?? You can't explain it to me?? What's on your mind?? >> << Pa I'm in Reggio I'll be back tonight, don't worry, I can't talk now, but if you call Giuseppe he'll tell you, he knows everything!! >> << In Reggio?? And what are you doing in Reggio? I don't want to talk to your brother I want to talk to you.. >> << Pa don't worry, I didn't make a mistake, or at least it's not my fault and my mistakes, it's her fault, your son is a cuckold.. she has another man.. for 4 months.. >> <> << Pa it's precisely of them that we have to be afraid of... >> << Well maybe you're right.. well are you sure? >> <> << ok I won't tell you I'm sorry because I know you wanted to get out of it for years, best wishes Cuckold >> Cosimo laughs << Thanks Pa.. >> << anyway I have to tell you something later... when you have time.. >> << ok dad.. let me go now.. >> << ok bye!! >> he closes the phone and while Cosimo puts the phone down to start again from the traffic light a car arrives like a bolt from the blue and hits him from the passenger side.
