_ , wake up, man! � said hitting �s head.
_ Hey! I�m already awake! � said a bit upset.
_ Everytime we pass by this ATM you keep starring at it and never take any money. � went on.
_ This is serious, . For 3 year you�ve been doing the same thing. � said taking the card from �s hand.
_ Give my card back! � said seriously.
_ Give it back, ! � said getting out the car.
_ Alright, dad, I swear I don�t do this anymore. � joked.
and went back to the car as and stayed at the ATM.
_ Why, after 3 years, you can�t forget about her? You don�t even know her name. � asked curious.
_ �Cause at the moment I saw her...

Flashback (3 years ago)
_ Hey! Could I use the ATM first? I�m in hurry.
_ Sure! Go ahead... excuse me but, do you live here in London? � asked.
_ Uh uh. � the girl mumbled.
_ What�s your na...
_ Shit! � the girl yelled. � This damn machine doesn�t wanna give my $50! I can�t wait �till tomorrow!
_ Is it urgent? �Cause I can lend you if you want.
As was speaking the girl was practically punching the machine when realized what he said.
_ Wait! Did you say you�ll lend me the money without knowing who I am? � the girl asked curious.
_ Yeah! � took the money from his wallet and gave her. � It seems to be really important to you... by the way I�m .
_ Thanks, . You don�t know how much I�m thankful for that.
The girl took the money, gave him a kiss on the cheek, got in the cab and left.
End of flashback

_ Did you give $50 to a distinguished unknown? � asked.
_ She�s not an unknown to me!
took the money and got in the car. After the boys left, two girls stopped at the ATM.
_ Ok, this is the ATM you�ve been talking for 3 years since you got in Italy but, where�s the guy who lent you the money? � asked laughing.
_ Don�t laugh! If wasn�t for him I wouldn�t have caught the plane on time and I�d have lost my architecture internship. I�d like to give his money back and thank him.
_ Give his money back? Come on, , you liked the guy! The first thing that came out of your mouth when I saw you was �I met a guy at an ATM and he was cute� and besides, everybody at the company saw your �sad� face when your internship came to an end. You quit the job knowing you could stay, you�re the best architect there! was sarcastic at first but then, was talking really serious about it.
_ I made a lot of money working there and I didn�t have much expenses so, I have enough to take an one year on vacation. I don�t take a real vacation for a long time but now, I thing is the right time.
_ Won�t you go back to Italy?
_ No!
_ And where stays in the middle of these?
_ He doesn�t stay anywhere. When I told him that I was coming back to London I broke up with him
_ In 5 minutes you broke up a 2 years relationship.
_ Actually in 20 minutes, before they called my flight.
_ Bitch! � said smiling.
_ I never said that I loved him and he knew about it since the beginning so, it wasn�t that bad for him.
_ Anyway, next week I�ll go back to Italy, are you sure you don�t wanna come with me?
_ 100% sure! � answered.
The girls got in the car and went to the flat just bought.
_ Your father really loves you. With a huge flat like this I wouldn�t go back to Italy either. � said going to the porch. � The view is incredible!
_ Get a major in architecture, which is your mom�s dream, that I think you win one.
_ Sorry, I forgot about this detail.
The girls got quite for a while but soon started to talk again and decided to go to a club to celebrate �s coming back home. put on a black leather skirt with splits on both sides, a red top opened on the back and black high heel boots. put on white leather pants, a white top tied on the front, white boots and a white leather jacket. They were dressed to kill. They got in �s blue Porsche and went to the club. When the girls got in there everybody was looking at �s legs and �s butt �cause her pants were so tight that seemed to be painted on her body. and were at the bar when they saw the two girls going to the dance floor
_ The one with the red hair is mine � yelled.
_ The blond is all mine... � said in a low voice biting his lips.
The boys were going towards the girls when �s phone rang.
_ Hello?
_ , where are you?
_ At Persephones, . What about you and ?
_ We�re at the door, we�re going in.
hung up the phone and entered with in the club. After wait for a little while, and saw they coming and finally went talk to the girls.
_ Hey! Can I dance with you? � asked in �s ear putting his hands on her hips.
_ I think we�re already dancing. � the girl answered moving by the way �s body moved hers.
_ Do you wan...
Before could say something to the girl someone interrupt him.
_ Hey, ! Do you wanna go to the bar? � said tapping his shoulder.
_ No, I don�t. Hey! Where�s the girl with red hair? � asked looking around.
_ If is the one showing her legs, she�s at the bar. � pointed.
When was about to try something for the third time, he saw the girl running out of the club. Meanwhile wasn�t believing in what he was seeing, the girl he met at the ATM was in the same place as him but, this time, he�ll know her name. He ran after her and saw her at the parking lot so, he went to talk to her before she could leave.
_ Hey, can I talk to you? � he said breathing heavily.
_ Now I can�t but...
looked at and recognized him.
_ You�re the guy at the ATM! � she said shoked.
_ Do you remember me?
_ Of course I do! But now I don�t have time. I�m in a hurry...
_ I know I might sound pushy but, can I go with you?
_ Get in!
was driving like mad and couldn�t say a word to her. He rehearsed so many speeches and now, none of them seemed to be good enough for the occasion. The girl stopped in front of a big house and the doorman came to greet them.
_ Miss. , good evening.
was astonished, where was that girl he lent $50 that morning 3 years ago? Now she was called �Miss.�, had a Porsche and owned a house bigger than �s. stepped out the car and got in the house running upstairs leaving at the hall. After 1 hour, the girl came back.
_ Sorry for my lack of courtesy. I completely forgot you were here. � the girl apologized sitting next to .
_ Can I ask what�s happening?
_ My dad wasn�t feeling ok and, since he�s the only family I have, I left the club desperate.
_ But is he ok now? � asked concerned.
_ Yes. The doctor said he needs vacation but, no one can convince him to do such thing.
_ Good to hear that. I thought it was something worst.
_ He�s just a �workaholic�.
grabbed her purse and took $50 from her wallet.
_ Here�s your money.
_ What�s your name?
_ . Are you gonna take the money?
_ Maybe... do you wanna go out with me?
_ Maybe... what�s your name? � the girl joked.
_ . We could have dinner Friday night at 8pm.
_ Where?
_ I come to pick you up.
_ But this is not my house anymore. � took a piece of paper and wrote her address � 8:30pm at my flat.
_ On second thought, I guess I�m gonna need the $50.
_ It�s all yours.
_ My car and my wallet are with at Persephones. Can I use your phone to call a cab?
_ I give you a ride. I need to find to give her the keys of the flat.
_ Ok then.
and went back to the club to find their friends.
_ Damn! I can�t find her! � the girl said to .
_ And I can�t find my mates and just realized that my keys are with as well.
_ I don�t know what�s worst, my friend who was born and raised in Italy lost here in London or you without money and your keys.
_ Great! I found my mates. Come with me. � said taking the girl to the higher part of the club.
_ , where have you been? � asked.
_ I found the girl from the ATM, I mean, . � said introducing her to him and .
When saw the girl he got a bit upset but then let it go.
_ Where�s ? I wanna show him that she�s real.
_ But I�ve always been real. � the girl said laughing.
_ is at the bar with your dance partner. � told the girl.
_ Have you two met? � asked.
_ No, I was with when he went to talk to , that�s all.
_ I don�t remember seeing you. � said trying to remember him.
_ He�s not important! � said laughing.
_ Well, if you excuse me, I�ll go talk to . See you on Friday?
_ Sure! � answered with a dirty smile starring at the girl�s legs.
backed away and when realized �s smile she came back and kissed him on the lips leaving him breathless. She went to talk to her friend and left the club but, didn�t come home with her. To be exact, only got back to the flat on the next day at 11am making a lot of noise.
_ Could you make less noise?
_ Scusa... wha�s got into you? The bad humor bug?
_ Sorry , it�s just last night my father wasn�t feeling good and I got a bit upset... anyway, how was your night?
_ From 2am �till 10am says something to you? � said with a dirty smile.
_ Really? You gotta be kidding!
_ No, I�m not! is great!
The girls spent all day long talking about and the �ATM boy�, while the guys...
_ May I know what was that all about? � asked being rude.
_ What? � answered clueless.
_ The girl with the red hair kissed you at Persephones, I was gonna make a move on her.
_ You�re talking about ? You were make a move on her?
wasn�t paying attention on last night that�s why he wasn�t understanding why got so surprised.
_ What�s the matter? Before I could say something, was already drooling all lover the blond girl so, I got the one with the red hair.
_ Not her! Didn�t you hear when I said she was the girl I met at the ATM?
_ Hey, take it easy! I�ve never seen �your� girl before and there was no way to know who was she.
_ Sorry, . I got mad at you for no reason.
The boys stopped the discussion and started to talk about how was luck to find the girl.
The days went by, and decided to stay a month in London to enjoy the place and stay with a little bit longer. When Friday came, was inside her closet not knowing what to wear at her date with .

3 hours later...
_ Sure you don�t wanna kill the boy on your first date? � asked laughing.
was wearing a red dress with no sleeves, sandals with red strings and a low pony tale.
_ It was my last option.
_ You look great!

At �s house...
_ Hurry up, man! It�s 7:30 and you said you�d give me a ride! � yelled from the living room.
_ I�ll be down there in a minute! � yelled back.
_ You look like a girl to get dressed. � mumbled.

20 minutes later...
_ Am I wrong or you�re going to receive an award instead of going on a date? � joked.
_ Could you stop making fun of me? � said kind of nervous.
was wearing black social pants, a red shirt with a black tie and a black blazer.
_ A flower? � asked.
_ , one more of your funny jokes and I�ll throw you out the car in movement!
_ , I�m gonna let you believe that I�m afraid of you, ok? � said laughing playing with the flower.
_ Knock it off and drop the flower.

When they got at the building, went to see and left to meet . When she got outside she saw stopped in front of his car holding a rose.
_ You look fantastic! � said opening the door astonished with her beauty.
_ Thank you. � the girl answered blushing. � You look great too.
Before could get in the car gave the salmon pink rose to her.
_ It�s beautiful! How did you know it was my favorite?
_ Just a wild guess. It fits you.
They got in the car and the silence took over the car and all they did was look at each other. took her to a fancy restaurant at the other side of the town.
_ So, , why did you want $50 that night? � he asked to break the silence.
_ Who told you my surname? � the girl wondered.
_ When you were with your father, I was chatting with the security guard and he gave me some valuable information.
_ May I know what�s so valuable about me? � asked smiling.
_ The first and most important was that you don�t have a boyfriend, the second was that you�ve always been beautiful and the third is that you love to drink red wine when is too cold. � said pouring wine in �s glass.
_ I see you made quit a research about me but, only one person could tell you all these things and isn�t the security guard �cause he�s being working at my house no longer than a month.
_ Ok, ok... she asked me not to say but, was the governess.
_ Of course it was ! She knows me since I was a little girl.
_ But you still didn�t tell me why did you want the money that night. � sounded curious.
_ I was really late and remembered that I promised $50 of chocolates when I got in Italy.
_ $50 in chocolates?!
_ Yes, it�s a game we like to play... anyway, I forgot about it and when I took my wallet I realized that I only had $40 and the rest of the story you know.
_ Ok but, what about that kiss at the club?
_ It was a kiss like this?
Before could realize, was kissing him but, this time, the kiss had more passion and tenderness than the first one.
_ Wow! I wasn�t waiting for this...
_ I didn�t spend 3 years in Italy thinking about you to come back to London and not kiss you.
_ So you thought about me just like I was thinking about you?
kissed him again.
_ I loved the answer � said and kissed the girl.

Meanwhile at �s flat...
_ Ciao, bella! � said putting one of his hands on �s waist.
_ Hello, there! � said smiling.
got in the flat, pulled the girl closer to him and kissed her playing with her tongue.
_ I�m loving this visit to London. � said unbuttoning �s shirt.
_ Really? Well, I think I can make you like it even more. - pulled a bottle of tequila from behind him. � Do you have lemon and salt?
smiled and went to the kitchen. Though it only takes some minutes far from her, couldn�t handle stay without touching so, he went after her. The girl was cutting the lemons when he held her from behind kissing her neck. started to feel the heat of �s body and turned to face him. He kissed her without thinking twice grabbing her by the hips and putting her on the table.
_ I�m thirsty... I guess I�ll drink some tequila.
put a piece of the lemon in �s mouth then, opened her shirt and put salt on her stomach. He looked at her, sucked the lemon, licked the salt, put some tequila on her bellybutton and savored the drink with his lips.
_ I think I�m thirsty too, capisce?
climbed down the table and did with exactly what he did with her.
_ So, Mr. , are you having fun? � the girl whispered giving love bites on his stomach.
_ Lots of fun...
Before could take control of the situation again, started to open his belt and kiss him really slow. When the intensities of the kisses were growing , totally excited, held and squeezed �s long blond hair. They were so involved that walked through the flat leaving tracks of clothes all over it. What they had was something totally physical. and couldn�t touch each other that the same word came to their mind: SEX!

Hours later, and went to her flat.
_ What the hell happened here? � asked looking at her messed flat.
_ I think the answer is obvious. � said taking a shirt from the floor � �s in the house!
Suddenly laughter came from the room.
_ Could we play again? � asked kissing �s shoulder.
_ Yes we can! � she answered laughing.
and looked at each other.
_ Hmm... would you mind if... � said feeling awkward.
_ Come on! Let�s get out of here!
took the girl by the hand and they left the flat.
_ Where are you gonna take me? It�s raining and it�s 2am! � said getting in the car.
_ We�re gonna dance.
_ Where?
_ Shhh...
put his finger on her lips, closed the car door and kept in silence all the way. After a while he stopped.
_ , did you realize that we are on bridge with no one around at 3am? � the girl asked curious.
_ Yes, I did...
_ And did you realize it�s still raining... a lot?
_ Yes, I did...
turned on the headlights, step out the car, went to the other side, opened the door and made a sign for step out too. The girl did what he asked as he turned on the radio and in a few minutes, �Anytime� by Brian McKnight started to play. He went towards the girl really slow and, the only thing he could see was how beautiful she was with the rain falling all over her body and her lips that were so inviting. slowly placed his hands on �s waist and looked into her eyes, he placed his face against hers and they started to dance still staring at each other�s eyes. The girl put her hands around his neck and whispered.
_ What�s that all about?
smiled and, with his lips next to �s ear started to talk really slow and in a soft voice.
_ For 3 years I�ve been waiting for you, for 3 years I�ve been going to that ATM hoping that one day I�d see you again... � he stopped, took a deep breath and looked into the girl�s eyes again - ...I slowly fell in love with you in these last 3 years and, I was waiting for the moment where I�d finally meet you so I could say everything I feel for you. Now, that it�s real and not one of my dreams, I wanna say that I...
_ Shhh... � kissed him really slow so she could taste his lips.
� You don�t have to say a word, I already know.
_ How if I didn�t say anything yet? � asked running his hand softly on her face.
_ I knew since the day I met you at Persephones. You didn�t have to say anything, I just saw in your eyes.
_ That means you feel the same for me? That you�re gonna be my girl? � asked apprehensive.
_ I already am your girl.
_ Really? � he asked confuse.
_ Since the first time I saw you at the ATM.
They stayed there under the rain dancing and kissing. From that day on they were a couple.

A month later...
_ Hey, ! Wake up, man! � said hitting his head.
_ I�m already awake! _ answered starring at �s blond hair. He went towards her, held her by the waist and whispered in her ear.
_ I�m really glad that my �sexy lady� is staying for a bit longer.
_ I guess I have more things to enjoy here in London.
The girl bit �s lip and pulled him to her room.
_ I guess this physical thing they have is becoming something more than that. � said laughing.
pulled the girl by the belt and kissed her neck.
_ If what they have is physical or not I don�t know, all I know is that I love you!
They started to kiss and guided to the room.
If and are gonna stay together forever no one knows but, and knew what they had will last forever, why? �Cause that night at the ATM, both said �I love you� without saying a word.
