“How about me?” I looked at him, what did the question mean.“You can liken me to him.”
“You're worse!” He laughed off.
“You are cruel.”
“I am not cruel, I am just careful not to break my own heart. You think a breakup is that easy.”
“Entah, what is the affliction... I don't understand.” I guess somehow she's the same as Guilio, unable to feel the bond that's too intense. They have the same problem.
“You don't have feelings.” I sneered at him.
“Maybe you're right. I don't know how to explain myself.” He chuckled, Don Juan's face looking a little dim. But strangely he spoke honestly, that he could not feel the bond too deep with women.
We stared at the lights in the twinkling bay. Live music features love songs inside, songs I've long forgotten. Winter is coming soon, as usual I miss it with Mom.
“You're beautiful, don't humble yourself. You have a powerful aura, like the main madre-madre of the family. Ordinary people will take you too high and can't why you.The girls who ignore you, they know they can't beat you.” Suddenly he spoke.
“What is a compliment...Or you're seducing me.” I smiled at him.
“That's a compliment.”
“Being strong is sometimes exhausting.”.
“Don't be too hard on yourself. You can lean on me, but don't fall for me. I can't promise you anything.” I smiled, looking at him... Can I lean on him? But don't fall in love. Love is complicated, sometimes it hurts you.
“Come,..” His hand was holding me, carrying me leaning on his shoulder. “Taste better not...” I don't know how long I've never leaned on someone. Feeling a soothing embrace, feeling sheltered even for a moment.
“Thank you.” Now smelling the perfume and the cocktail makes me sleepy. It feels strange but it doesn't scare me, but the beat feels good leaning in Don Juan's arms makes you feel proud somehow, maybe proud to be able to make him talk frankly who he is. “Please promise me the truth as a friend, can you promise me that.”
“Although it hurts?”
“Although it hurts. Friends can't lie to each other.”
“I can promise for that. But don't fall in love with me, I'm just your friend no matter what happens between us. Maybe like Guilio. I'm the absolute bast*ardo like you said.”
“I know.” I'm laughing a little.
We just talked about a lot of stuff spending late into the night talking. Starting from his love life like Guilio, never lasted long with one woman, because he is anti-commitment, rather feel unable to commit. Feeling family is a burden, or maybe he's too involved a woman who is too demanding, just like me he seems too cautious too.
“Let's go back. It's late, tomorrow you still have to work.”
“Ayo.” I'm happy now. This leaning talk seems to make my heart lighter. ”When did you return to Palermo?”
“I'm back in Palermo tomorrow. If the deal is done, we will take care of the legal signature of my capital participation, as requested by Guilio. And I'll deposit the cash.” The trip felt short later, maybe because the road was late we only had a shorter time to return.
“We're here.” He breathed and looked at me. “You want to drink something at my place?” He's teasing me right now.
