CHAPTER 17

IT’S OFFICIAL!

I invited Vera and Giovanni to join me later to see Alin perform live. Vera seemed quite impressed that the lead singer of Silent Delusion was my boyfriend. When I told her, her eyes lit up and she told me how cute he was. Giovanni’s brows lifted but his reaction was less passionate. He still agreed to go with us to the concert. The backstage was busy and stressful. Geta was the first to see me. It felt good to get a warm hug from her. After I introduced Vera and Giovanni, Geta complimented Vera’s hair and tried to convince Giovanni to cut the fringe he still had. Vera told her in a low voice: “He is trying to hide his baldness. He is so sweet.”

“Che dice?” Giovanni was trying to catch up with their conversation, asking Vera in Italian.

“He doesn’t speak Romanian, but sometimes he understands. They’re both Latin languages, practically the same language,” Vera tried to warn us and then turned to Giovanni and started to rub his head. “She said we need to shave your head.”

I spotted Alin and went straight to him. My heart soared; was it attraction or more? I hurried over to him, and we kissed passionately. It hit me then. I wasn’t homeless any more - I found my answer: Alin is your home.It was so obvious that I wondered why this revelation hadn’t come to me before. You have too much emotional baggage Mona. I should be more like Vera.

“Alin, I didn’t have your keys.”

“My poor baby,” he interrupted me, running a finger down a lock of my hair. “We’ve been together all that time, I didn’t notice as well. You will get yours tonight. I am so sorry. I didn’t think about that.”

“Me too. How stupid is that? Anyway, I don’t like my new place, I may not stay there at all,” I told him sadly.

“You don’t need to. We’ll get you your own keys, and mi casa e su casa.” He looked deep in my eyes. He gently touched my hair and told me, “Don’t worry. Smile and enjoy.” He looked around, then, finally noticing the others. “Are these your friends?” He looked amused at Giovanni. I had to admit he didn’t fit the crowd. I pulled Alin toward the others to make introductions.

Vera said to me, like Alin was not present, “You were right! Where did you find him?”

Ema entered the room; George T. was with her.

Why do you have to look like a damn Goddess, Ema?

She had a long gold dress, in the Roman Empire style, and a black scarf on her new loosely braided hairstyle. The scarf idea was great.

Why didn’t I think of that? I asked myself, feeling less...something. I was always comparing myself to her and finding myself lacking.

Vera tugged on my arm, laughing as she said, “I don’t like her. Let’s hate her together,” she said, laughing.

“We could, or we could keep her closer.” I winked at her. We walked closer so I could introduce them.
