"Sara, it's dangerous, this time only three bullets. Maybe next time your life. How can you think of accepting another assignment."
At one point I thought, if I can't dance again. Maybe I can put all the bets on being an agent. At least I'll be paid well. Thomas will help me because he knows my story.
He could've found me a job. I don't know what, I'll think about it later. But I'm obviously hoping I can come back, I have to have a backup plan.
"I want to feel useful rather than just as a dancer. I want to break Franc... We can talk later." Finally I used my ace, asking him to stop urging me because I was sick.
"Look no, you got hurt like this, I don't know. But three bullets, do you think next time you have a spare life." I couldn't answer it so I just kept quiet.
"Eat first okay. I'll get you some food." Fortunately he retreated, not trying to discuss our matter anymore.
"Yes. Thank you." Thank you."
He came back with a food tray. I smiled to see him carry so much.
"Let's eat."
"A lot. Do I need this much food?"
"I called my doctor to ask for a good food recommendation for you. Matilda will make sure you eat well." I feel like he takes care of me like a kid. I'm a nobody who can have a lover like this, if Mom finds out I have a lover like this she'll be happy.
"Franc, thank you." He is the best lover.
"return. Now eat and finish, otherwise how can you recover." He's feeding me soup. I accepted it with a jumbled feeling between the funny feeling in the bribe, the pleasure of having a lover so considerate, and the sadness that maybe our relationship would be difficult.
"I love you..." He saw me smiling at him.
"I just want to tell you." I smile at him now. I am happy, really happy with him. Although I feel like this will only last a moment, I will remember this as a sweet memory in the future.
"If you really love me, you should understand my concerns."
"I understand, but there's nothing easy about a commensurate result. I want to feel a bigger hand than just a dancer in front of your family."
"You don't have to be a minister like my mother. All I want is a family. My mom used to be an ambitious person, maybe she saw my dad who was relaxed as a barrier to her ambitions. I don't know why they fell in love at first. I don't need anything like that in my house, I don't want my son to see his parents get divorced, you don't have to work for me."
I just understood what he said. Totally understand. But in his mother's eyes I think I'll be a burden to his son. I have a mother to support.
"I have a mother I have to look after Franc, you can't talk like that."
"Obviously I know, I don't mind looking after your mom."
"But your mother would mind I guess."
"My mom won't interfere with our lives." I was silent, maybe he said so but I don't know what's going on ahead. What's clear is that I won't act like a street*g who uses his rich girlfriend.
"alright. Let's see it later okay."
"You don't believe me?"
"I believe you."
I trust him. What I don't believe in is myself.
