a
was more than a year ago, in March 2007 to be precise. A call to some 'unexpected location: a job interview. Molly and I run the university at which I was told without thinking twice. The advertising agency ... This unknown world that fascinates us so much hapless university prepared to encounter immense communication ... Although we should first learn to communicate maybe ourselves ... But it's not digress.
Well, I arrive in this agency. By. So much white that seems to go into a cloud. Everything always more fascinating. And then he, Mr. art director, dressed in white. I thought, "Morgan Freeman in 'Bruce Almighty' " or perhaps "a guardian angel." It was not black and even he had wings, but ... A first meeting, he gave me a book with a dedication: "To Laura , slowly ...". More than a job interview, a chat, so much so that I leave more confused than before. Which strange: it gives me the bitter orange, she asked me about my life and asks me if I love writing, I speak to me and I stress the fact that I'm looking for a stage. But all work and failed to draw a conclusion.
Spend some 'time ... a second meeting. A second book, "A Laura, gently . Find out who is the protagonist and then I discovered, reading the book, which I like very much, as I was told by him. Below is a risky proposal: would you be able to speak in front of 100-200 students in your hypothetical agency experience? I? Me? Why me? He trusts me? Why not trust me? I have no experience, I'm not able, my self-esteem is a dead branch trampled by the wind at that period, also due to my final disappointment in love. No, I'm not the person who is looking for. And then, the "madness". Some photos of models on the desk and my desire expressed by the innocence in the face "to wear a dress, a dress signed, it would be my dream ... My body has never tasted the thrill. The desire of Cinderella comes true: my angel invites me to his house, white of course, in every detail, gives me the balls with water and try a dress Uncle George. I is perfect, I hardly recognize myself in the mirror. I remember that day like it was yesterday. All so surreal and imaginative. I was a doll at the mercy of an angel that I adjust the dress with care and dedication. Just for the hell of it. A message stored in my SIM to remember this magical pop in my life "C redo you to be strong, but I think weak. We are what our mind thinks." And then?
And then a greeting and a goodbye. WHEN? To never again, I thought. A lightning meeting, those who remain, even if you do not know why. And then the biggest surprise ever expected, a month ago. A text message that said something like: "scroll through the contacts on the phone and I thought. How are you?". "And how do you remember me?" It was my first thought. After more than a year. Followed by a series of text messages and then a "see you". Why not? Until you get to last night.
The craziest thing is I knew I should be excited, maybe a bit 'anxious to tell him what I could, how could I be in his eyes, how I behave, any of its expectations. But none of this. It was me, the real Laura, natural and at ease than ever before. Just as if the person I was going to meet soon to know her for years. And indeed it ... I still know more than a year ago! Location
dream: Bulgari Hotel. Well, perhaps my only thought in the whole evening was: "It sounds a little girl enchanted by all this splendor, maybe a little 'igenuotta, whereas for him this is routine, everyday, we are all daily for lunch ...". But in fact I did not care much, I wanted to enjoy the evening from moment to moment.
We sit. Tavola "minimalist" tablecloth beige, brown dishes that accompanied the color of bitter orange, sipped gently . I was spontaneous, I was myself, and I liked this a lot '. wonderful dinner of fish: tuna tartare and baked sea bass. All the better, as the words spoken at the table and imprisoned now in my mind. A relaxed confidence as few times I was able to express. And then of gummy candies to express the sweetness and color of the evening, as I recall.
may seem exaggerated, but I think that some meetings are in the heart. I can not explain well So maybe we will be talkative, simplicity, creativity, goodness that sets it apart, finding time between his work and personal commitments for a simple and humble person like me. "I was changed after one year?" "Yes, I am more confident, more sure of yourself." Compliment ever been more appropriate. Correct answer Mr. angel without wings.
And then a goodbye, this time not to ever again, but soon. A kiss on the forehead to the conclusion, as if to seal the charm of the meeting.
