"The pill you said, where it was, I forgot last night..." He looked at me who was suddenly panicked.
"What are you actually dreaming about? Why are you so panicked?" He asked and looked at me in surprise.
"I dreamt I had a baby and then I had a lot of work, the managers were hounding me, everyone was crowding me, my baby was taken by them because they wanted to take care of the job, the managers were all over the place, I didn't give it to her and then suddenly they blamed me for all the failures, my job was a mess, my baby was getting so thin... I don't want that to happen, Guilio, I'm really not ready for this." I immediately explained it with fear and shook it, the dream of seeing my own unkempt baby was very disturbing to me. He saw me talking so fast.
"Where's the pill, I'm really scared, give me the pill Guilio..." He was silent for a while, whatever was on his mind, I don't know, not that I don't want a baby, we're not going anywhere and not ready for it.
He looks reluctant. But he finally got up, looked in a drawer and gave it to me.
"It's..." He seemed half-heartedly giving the pill away.
"Thank you Guilio." I immediately drank it, I saw the clock turned out to be eight. I fell asleep long enough to have that disturbing dream.
"Is it that bad..." He's lookingat me. Is he offended that I don't seem to want him very much.
"How do you know I said I don't mind." Apparently he did not understand this was not a matter of him objecting or not, but we were not ready.
"I know you don't mind, but having kids isn't that simple. We need to prepare a lot, what if your child is not happy, I am not happy because too suddenly, if the mother is not happy, will the baby be healthy? What because if I'm not ready I endanger our child causing it to go unaddressed. You understand it's not... Not that I doubted you or rejected you, Balena. It's also for the sake of our son's happiness." He finally looked at me with a smile.
"I'm sorry I've had too many good dreams since I was with you, my mind thinks too much about things in our future. You're right, there's a lot to think about, what I want to tell you is that even if something happens I won't leave you alone, I'll make sure you're happy, too." I smiled at him.
"I'm flattered you said that... That you'll be ready for any risk. For me it's everything. But this is so strange, we've been talking about Balena's son... We were just last night..." She smiled and her fingers smoothed my hair, making me flutter looking at her so soft eyes at me. What's on her mind, is she's really thinking about a baby.
"How, I told you, I can't live without you." A word that left me speechless as she said it quietly. "Over twenty years we've been friends, I've always trusted you, never once did I doubt who you are. I told you everything, you know who I am, everything about me... If you want us to get married even today I'll say yes." I smiled and gently hit her chest.
"Guilio.. You are ..." He held me in his arms. Made me drown in her embrace and feel the warmth of her body.
