couple of words [35]

She: Busy week...

He: It's a living hell. I tell you, if there is a hell, it's pretty much like this.

She: It's that bad there?

He: Well let's see.. Today is wednesday and it feels like monday morning.

She: Ouch.

He: Also... I'm gonna work late everyday. Plus saturday the whole day I guess.

She: It's alright honey. We'll have lunch some day next week.

He: You know... It's not the fact that I have to burst my ass off in here...
I would do that happily if I could go home at night and see you.

She: Yeah, but...

He: Don't get me wrong honey, I know we live far and it can't be changed now... The world is wrong, not us.

She: Mmm having hard time with people there?

He: I... I just don't know what's wrong with people. Everyone. Everyone's mean, criticize other people from their back, publish status on social networks making fun of other people... And everyone thinks that this is normal.
Or maybe I'm wrong and we all turned into shameless, heartless, coldless bastards.

She: You're not wrong. It's a cruel world filled with cruel people. But what can we do to change it? I wish I knew...
But one thing I know, if there's a way to change it is to be exactly like you are, and do exactly what you're doing.

He: Working harder because I'm the one who gives the f-word?

She: Hahahah silly. You care. And not just about the work, but about everything. About people, about me. Don't you ever change that.
Don't lose your energy. You're stressed I know. When you go home tonight don't call me. Have a beer on the couch and fall sleep watching some game.

He: Really?

She: Sure honey. But don't drink too much, you know...

He: Okay okay, I know.
See, that's why I miss you. You're not just the best girlfriend ever. You're a person that I can talk too.

She: But you'll owe me a dinner once you can go home early!

He: Really? I'm having lunch at my desk talking to you and you're demanding a dinner some day next week or another?

She: That's my price, mister!

He: Fair enough...
Now, I gotta hang up hon!

couple of words [34]

She: Calm down, mister. Having a bad dream?

He: Huh? Oh you're here.

She: Of course I am. I guess you fell asleep watching tv before I get here right? Geez you're sweating!

He: Bad dream...

She: What was about?

He: Nothing frightening... Just... You were not here. I was sleeping alone.

She: So you dreamed that I was not here... And that was a nightmare?

He: I... Wouldn't say nightmare. But surely was scary.

She: How come? When I don't sleep here it's because I wake up early the next morning...

He: I know. It was... Different.

She: Different how?

He: It seemed that you... That you weren't here because you didn't exist in my life.

She: Oh...

He: That was scary. This thought that you didn't exist and that I had to sleep alone every night and dream about this perfect creature so unreachable.

She: Ohh don't start with this 'perfection' thing again mister!
But thank you. I'll try to be more present in your dreams...

He: Like you had to try...
