Short chapters
Not a too long story
Cliché but also a few in expected plots
"Can I hold you?"
I don't know what's happening, I've never hugged someone after I turned 17. But it feels like it's the right to do. "Just for a little while" I add quickly...

With Emma over my shoulders I reach the office. I open the door and set Emma back on her feet. Only to pick her up in bridal style. Finally I could hold her. She has no idea what te fuck she's doing to me.
She giggles, a sound from heaven. "What are you doing Matteo?" "Making sure you have a great seat." And I kiss her on the cheek.
When I reach my desk I sit and make Emma sit on my lap with her hands on my shoulders. "What happened when i made you leave amore?" She stiffens and I see the fear in her eyes and they turn glossy.
After two days Emma got her memory back, thank god. I was scared Mariana might ruined the drug or some shit. So she does remember the ball again and that I saved her. The night she remembered she was crying the whole night with Lana. Lana made sure she ate and was there whenever my amore needed something. I wish that she would've let me. Or Luciano and Mariana but she didn't. She was too damn stubborn
"Hey baby, it's okay. I'm not here to judge. Ya know." She better not thinks that I'll thing anything of her.
"I know." Good
She takes a deep breath and continues. "Well, at the airport a flight attendant came to me, to make sure I went a special way, I don't know... I thought maybe you were there to explain." And she looks down to her lap with shame.
God, what have i done.
"I'm so sorry baby."
She shakes her head "Don't be, you did it for your family, I understand it with my whole heart." She does?
"Well then Tims men came and brought me to him. He told me he was sorry, he even cried and I had to stay till next ball, so he could try to earn a second change. He was really nice and did a good job, we started to be friendly to each other again. B-but then, then at the ball. After he drank to much. And he didn't want to let me go anymore....you know what happened."
"26 October" I say. It's kinda rude to just say but I've to know what happened back then. What the fuck he did that makes her look and feel like this. In the time I've known her I've never seen her like this. Vulnerable
She widens her eyes at me and slowly nods "I have to know what happend 26 October."
"How do you kn-" I cut her off
"That doesn't matter, I have to know. So I can show him a fucking lesson." And then finally she gives me a tiny small smile. And I feel my stupid heart jump with joy
But when she opens her mouth that smile completely disappears.
"26 October, a few years ago. I-uhm he had a failed business deal. So he drank. A lot. And t-then.." her tears start coming down and I keep wiping them away. My heart now feeling so fucking sad and angry for her
