Chapter 5
Today everything was chaos at the flower shop, it would soon
be Valentine's Day and everyone was ordering flower arrangements, I loved
Valentine's Day!
- Carito\, can you come here? I need your help for this.
My name is daddy, I was quick.
- And who is this monstrosity for?
It was a huge arrangement of blue flowers, the most
expensive ones!
- It's in the notebook\, can you help me hold it?
I nodded, and helped daddy, the arrangement was very over
the top, both for the size and the price, daddy finished the arrangement and
put it aside, his breath was short from the effort.
I looked at the notebook and read the message and the name
of the person who would receive it.
- Fabien Salvatore -
I said out loud.
- You are the hell I want -
the message said.
- Creepy!
I said, dad laughed and shrugged his shoulders.
- Well\, you'll be the one to carry this arrangement - I
looked at the arrangement.
I looked at the arrangement, it was dark and quite
intriguing.
- What about Antonio? Why doesn't he go! It's always me!
What if the guy is weird and takes a kidney out of me?
Dad rolled his eyes.
- Stop reading so much stuff! Now go get the car\, so you can
help me get this stuff inside -.
I went to get it reluctantly, everything depended on me! Why
did I have more siblings if I was always the one who did everything!
- Didn't you have breakfast today?
Antonio asked me, approaching me.
- You're playing the fool! I'm always the one who has to make
the arrangements! Last time I almost got beaten up by a lady! -
Antonio laughed, how I fell wrong!
- I thought Dad had paid you more\, or was it a lie?
I glared at him.
- Carito\, come help me!
I ran and helped daddy to bring the monstrosity.
- Open the back door!
I shouted to Antonio, he opened it and helped me bring the
arrangement.
- What bad taste! Who ordered that ugly thing?
I shrugged, Dad gave me the address and I said goodbye to
them.
*
The place was in the fucking shit! My *** was sweating, the
sun was in my face, what the ****, I always had to go to the farthest places! I
was always the asshole.
After an hour of driving, I finally arrived! I thanked God
and got out of the car, stretched my legs and went to the doors to knock.
- I asked for Mr. Fabien Salvatore.
I knocked, the gates opened and I drove the car into the
garden.
A guy came out and helped me with the arrangement, when I
entered the house I was literally stunned. It was dark, it looked like a
vampire's castle.
- What's so horrifying?
Asked a man who came out of nowhere, he was very tall, his
eyes looked like liquid gold, his black hair combed back, he was...
intimidating, but somehow, very beautiful.
- Can he sign?
I handed him the form and he quickly filled it out.
- Uh... it's a Valentine's Day gift.
I answered him and read his name on the form, frowned and
tried to guess what it said.
- Is something wrong?
I shook my head.
- I'm sure he's a doctor or something\, what ugly
handwriting!
I covered my mouth with the form, he looked at me seriously,
he didn't move a muscle.
- I'm sorry\, I'm sorry! It's just that doctors have such
ugly handwriting! I don't understand it, and you write like them I'm sorry!
He was still looking at me, shit!
- Sorry\, sorry! Your handwriting is fine! You shouldn't pay
so much attention to me, I talk too much! You're Mr. Salvatore, right?
He nodded slowly.
- I thought that name belonged to an extravagant and wealthy
person! Even the message on the card is weird!
He slowly raised an eyebrow.
- It's not that I say you're weird! I don't even know you\,
it's just that this house is like those old castles where the villains live in
the movies! -
She folded her arms, shut up Carolina!
- You want me to be quiet\, don't you?
I asked her, but she didn't answer me anything.
- Enjoy the arrangement\, it's very you! At first I thought
it was too ostentatious, but looking at it I see that the person who gave it to
you hit the nail on the head!
I smiled a little, I was screwing up more and more, my god,
why can't I be quiet?
- Where are you from?
he asked looking me up and down.
- I'm Colombian\, my father came here when I was 3 years old\,
so I'm quite Italian.
He laughed.
- Are you making fun of me?
He moved closer to me and lifted my chin.
- Many people have lost their tongues from talking too much\,
and yours is very long.
I pulled away from him and threatened him with the
clipboard.
- He's going to come and hit you! -
I told him, I had 3 older brothers, I knew how to defend
myself.
- You've come all this way and you haven't found out what
kind of person I am?
I looked around, the only image that came to my mind was the
blue beard and all the women I had killed, shit! And now what was I doing?
- My father knows I'm here! I sent him the location as soon
as I arrived, so killing me wouldn't do any good -.
He took a deep breath.
- Do you know the value of your organs?
I hugged myself and looked at him ugly.
- My kidneys don't work well and I think I have something in
my liver.
I looked at him with fear, this guy looked like someone
dangerous.
He came closer and I put my hands up to protect myself.
- You have something in your hair.
It was so high it reached his chest, I felt tiny next to
him.
I felt his hand on my head and then he quickly pushed it
away.
- Get out of here! I have things to do -
I didn't even say goodbye! I ran out of the place, I was
going to leave him! This was already getting weird!
*
When I got there I reluctantly walked into the flower shop.
- He quit! -
I said to Dad, leaving the stencil on the counter.
- What happened to you now?
my brother asked me.
- The guy asked me if I knew how much my organs cost! And
what would happen if they took a kidney? I don't go out anymore!
Dad came up to us.
- What did you tell him Carolina?
Antonio started laughing, I hit him with my hand.
- Nothing! Why do they always think the worst of me? -
Dad left and came back with a black kitten in his hands.
- Here it is! Your brother found it on the road.
I held the little cat in my hands, he was so cute! He was
about 3 weeks old.
- I'll call you Fabien! You look just like the weird uncle\,
your eyes are just like his-.
I told him and cradled him to my chest.
- Carolina! -
Dad scolded me.
- But it's true! You do look alike.
I took a good look at the cat.
- I hope you're not trying to take out my organs\," I
said and smiled.
I said and smiled.
I told him and smiled.
