couple of words [59]

He: You're staring at the fire.

She: Yeah. It's beautiful isn't it? The wood burning, slowly.
You can seat in front of the fireplace and look at it till there's only ashes left.

He: Agreed... Plus, the sound is also a music to the ears.

She: I guess... When we stare at something silently for a while, whatever you're looking at, it becomes poetic.

He: Now you got why "everything seems poetic to me, when I want it"...

She: Ohh no, I unmasked your gift!

He: Yeah. Now what do I have to prevail? I'm finished!

She: Ohh don't be sad, I'm pretty sure you'll always be the master of it.

He: Mmm it's funny, because the reflection of the fire on your face is pretty...

She: What, will you draw me?

He: I wish I knew how to!
Instead I'm gonna stare at you for a while... Ask me again what I'm thinking in a few minutes...

She: Say hello to the camera!

He: What are you doing?

She: Just a trailer of our holiday trip. Now don't be rude and say 'hello'!

He: "Hello, strange watching me. Hope you're having a great time on your computer desk while I'm away!"

She: I'm glad I told you not to be rude!
"You watching us there, don't be mad. Have a nice day!"

He: That was a unexpected... But you know, this light wasn't good at all to shoot. This video probably is going to be a little dark.

She: I know, mister. Even so, I think this sunset was worth to try.
Plus you look so serious driving hahahah.

He: So you wanted to show our friends that we are having fun in a video shot in the road?

She: Of course. Road movies rules all, don't you know?

He: You're full of surprises.
And wasn't me that said that about the road movies?

She: It was, memoryless!

He: Well, I'm glad. We're making our own road movie.
Don't you think we should talk about our existencial problems and what we're looking for in this trip?

She: Well, the only existencial problem I can think about right now is the time we're gonna spend together. And the only thing I'm looking for is to make some memories about it...

He: Yeah. A different kind of road movie. But I guess we can sell it anyway!

couple of words [57]

He: You were the reason why my gastritis got worse, you know?

She: Me? Why?

He: Well... I don't know if it's too soon to say that, but... Before it was 'oficial' I was always tense, not knowing if we would keep going out, if you you was getting annoyed with me, that kind of stuff.

She: It's required a lot of stress and bad food habits for this disease to become this serious... Plus, you didn't look so nervous to me.
If you did I would think something was wrong with me, I'm glad!

He: Yeah, I know it was silliness... But I was tense. I still didn't know if you liked me that way, and then I realized that I missed you everyday... And couldn't see you or ask you out because doing that I was showing "too much interest", as some people told me...

She: Wow, calm down mister. And I thought that women thought too much about these things... Good to know hahah.

He: And the thing is... You, I mean, women, always knows the answer. A guy who likes a girl can't be sure if she has the same feeling, so he tortures itself about not knowing this... Don't think every men are cruel, because it's not like that... We suffer a lot, but we must not demonstrate it!

She: Mmm... Now I'm interested about it. I can see a lot of discussions about feelings coming hahahah!

He: The only problem is that doing this at a cinema line people keep staring at us...

couple of words [56]

He: It was something like a rollercoaster. I didn't know if you were interested but I liked your company too much to be apart...

She: Well, like I said... At the beginning I wasn't. I needed just to be with myself, to cure my scars... Trynna trust in other people once again.
And it came within a month or less.

He: Sometimes I think if I wasn't too damn lucky, you know? Like, if we have met in other situations things wouldn't turn this right.
But of course, it's more like a "thank God it happened just this way" thought, so I remember to be thankfull.

She: I guess everything happened the way it was supposed to. I don't know if it's luck, destiny or whatever. But since it's a pretty rare feeling when its reciprocal, I guess we should be thankfull allright.

He: Well, looking at this way... I guess you weren't mean to me.

She: And you weren't a memoryless womanizer. Just a guy afraid of telling some girl that he liked her...
And the thing is, we could be so natural with each other that this happened naturally.

He: Well, enough said about our past, this drawer cleaning got me hungry!

She: You barely reached the half of your souvenirs!..

He: Oh we have all the time in the world to do it, like that old song says.

She: Uh-oh mister, these are yours! Now I'm focused in finishing this dinner properly without burning anything!

He: If you do burn it I'll add the recipe to the "funny memories" part of the souvenirs!

Romance à Paulista

Conheceram-se num dia 9 de Julho, como hoje. Ela ia fazer rematrícula na faculdade, e ele vinha do cursinho. Trombaram em uma das pontes sobre a 23 de Maio. Se reencontraram outras vezes, sempre de passagem pela Brigadeiro, até que ele lhe ofereceu um café e uma conversa.

Eram jovens e passeavam muito, da Brasil à Vergueiro, da Estação da Luz à outra Brigadeiro. Aos sábados quase sempre frequentavam a região da 25 de Março, driblando o movimento para almoçar no Mercado Municipal. E passeavam nas tardes de domingo, da Liberdade à Rua dos Pinheiros, do Museu do Ipiranga ao Parque Trianon.

Curtiam-se a ambos e também à cidade. Nos dias de semana -e trabalho- viam-se rapidamente no centrão, e no final da tarde encontravam-se na Praça da Sé. Do Marco Zero caminhavam aos seus destinos, e quando fazia calor o Ibirapuera era um bom local para um piquenique. Nunca se cansavam de ambos, e dos museus e cinemas. O Estádio Municipal do Pacaembu também era um local frequente, especialmente em um dia de clássico.

Fossem eles da ZL, do Alto da Lapa, do Mirante de Santana ou dos confins da Zona Sul, rodavam. E enfrentavam os perigos do trânsito ao andar de bicicletas, ainda que no final de semana. Um ato para corajosos. Viam de perto os problemas da cidade e em algumas ocasiões, marchavam pela Paulista ou em frente à Câmara por discordância de seus governantes ou para reivindicar direitos, ou o direito de ter determinado direito.

Eram, de fato, paulistas e paulistanos. Assim como muitos por aí, que podem não se dar conta de uma data de longínquos 79 anos atrás, mas que para alguns de nós ainda representa o dever -e o orgulho- de se erguer contra o que não vai bem.
Que continuemos assim, marchando, sempre pra frente.

couple of words [55]

He: Do you want anything more?

She: Oh no. Ask the check.
And tell me how can you do it!

He: What dear?

She: This... Smile.
It's cold, it's tuesday and we'll have a lot of work to do on the weekend. And you have this beautiful smile on your face.

He: That is why.
It's a cold tuesday and I've missed you...  Now I can look at you and talk with you. This makes me more calm to face the rest of the week...

She: Well it seems that the waiter and everyone that was hearing us thinks you'll propose to me. How foolish of them, isn't it?

He: What can we do if we have a strong relationship based on humor and affection?
By the way, when I do propose you won't even guess...

She: But that is a matter of science-fiction, getting married these days. I would say no, just to see everybody's reaction hahahah.

He: Yeah, I know that. Wait and see, lady!

[...]

He: Are they still looking at us?

She: Ever since we started talking about marriage.

He: Curious people hahahah. See how good is to see you in the middle of the week? That's why I smile.

She: Yeah mister, keep smiling like this, maybe one day I'll answer yes!

She: *cough*

He: You're the one who told me to organize this drawer!

She: I'm glad I did! I didn't even know it was so dusty.

He: You sound like I don't care about what's in it...

She: It's not that you don't care about it, you just should clean the dust from time to time...

He: Ok ok now I know.
Do you realize I have more souvenirs than you?

She: That's because your memory is worst than mine. You need them to think more about our past, dear!

He: Ohh...
I reluctantly agree.

She: Don't worry honey, it's a normal thing with men. Besides, you're better than most because you keep the memories.

He: Now I enjoyed...
And you know, right there in the first weeks... You were mean to me!

She: Mean? How?

He: Well altough we clicked and went out to a lot of places and talked about everything...

She: What dear?

He: Now don't be mad.

She: That depends...

He: Well despite all of this, you didn't seem to be interested in me back then, the first couple of weeks I guess. And you already had my heart.

She: Sweet. But it's right, I wasn't interested. In anyone back then.
I started when you showed yourself a very good company.

He: [...]
Now I feel like I was a memoryless womanizer. Why did you started dating me, again?

He: You're looking at every single tree we pass on.

She: Yeah...
Don't you think it's funny how most of them are dry and just one or two has flowers?

He: I don't know if it's funny. It's more like a process of life.

She: What do you mean?
Oh it's too damn cold!

He: Everything and everyone has it's own time to prosper.

She: [...]
And you can make everything seems poetic right?

He: That depends of my mood. Right now I'm enjoying a cold night walking with you.

She: And does that pleases you?

He: How could it not?
Look... I know you're not on the best moment these days. What can I do besides give you my support? Be positive so you can smile a little.

She: I was thinking about these trees... Right now I'm just a dry one.

He: Hey, don't worry that much.
As I said, everything has it's time. Soon you'll be a living tree also ok?

She: I'm gonna need some sunlight though.

He: Personally I find this office tan really sexy. But as long as you dont raise branches or leafs I'm fine with that.

She: You fool.

He: Hahah I see you're smiling, don't hide it... Ever.

She: A nickel for your thoughts!

He: Ok I'll buy it. But you have to guess in just one word. Three chances.

She: Your team's victory.

He: Way too vague. Keep it simple.

She: Mmm... Happiness...

He: [...]
Don't go smiling that way! That's not funny!

She: Hahahah it is!

He: Ok lady, how do you do it?

She: It's pretty obvious. You told me to be specific... What can be more specific than this huge smile in your face?
It's only happiness and I like it...

He: Mmm so you're gonna start cheering for my team with me? I finally turned you?

She: Perhaps. But don't go bragging yourself, mister!

He: Then I'll only buy your nickel when I finished converting you!

She: I would protest about it, but let's change the subject. The subway isn't the best place to talk about this...

[...]

He: You love this people and this colours and you know it hahah...

She: Shhhhhhh!

She: Hey. You called me this afternoon... What's up?

He: It's nothing serious... Are you still working?

She: No, going home. Shoot.

He: Just wanted to know what you're up to this weekend.

She: I don't know... It's only monday. You have something in mind?

He: I have a million plans in mind.

She: I sense some bitterness... What's happenning dear?

He: Oh don't worry. It's just... I'm sad, the weekend is over and we have a long week before we can see each other again!

She: Relax. It's monday sickness... You'll get better as the week goes by.

He: I know, but it's not just this 'sickness'... Ahh I don't know what is it, but it's the worst feeling ever!
As much perfect the weekend is, it's just a little time for ourselves. It's unfair.

She: I know. But you know what 'life' would say back to you?

He: What?

She: Cry me a river!

He: Also, you're meaner at mondays!

She: Hahahah relax mister... See it in this way: everyone has this feeling, but no one has named it yet. If you do it you'll be leaving a mark for the humanity.

He: Mmmm... That could take a while...

She: Well, since I found something for you to do I'm gonna hang up. Good to know I'm usefull even at mondays!

couple of words [50]

She: You haven't told me which pic you chose, aside that one.

He: Oh I gave up, I printed all three...

She: And you're gonna alternate them?

He: I thought about it... But the idea of removing a picture from the frame kills me!

She: Hahahah you look like a kid that can't decide which dessert will have before even eating!

He: That's the feeling.

She: So you're gonna have just one frame? I'm shocked!

He: Hahah laughing of my misery...

She: Ohh dear, such a good feeling can never be a misery...

He: Mmm... I like that.

She: My phrase?

He: That too. But wait right there where you are. Don't move.

She: Ohh I can't believe in you, not now! I have wind in my face, I'm a mess!

He: Not at all. You're natural. Your hair in the wind is just what I wanted!
Plus the lampposts down the bridge and the sepia colour of the sky is really poetic!

She: I surrender. When you want to, everything is poetic...

He: And that, my dear, is a gift!
See, I bet this will give a great living room portrait!

Posted via email from a few words

couple of words [49]

She: How many pics you want to print?..

He: I don't know... Like three, or four or five.

She: Wow that's a lot of portraits!

He: Well I want to have at least two at my place. One in the living room and another in the bedroom.
But the bedroom's picture I already chose.

She: Really? Which one?

He: Let's pick the others first! If I tell you now you may steal it from me. You know the deal, we can't have the same portraits!

She: Okay mister! Let's do it. I guess... This one near the tree, the shadow is nice...

He: Hahah you keep calling me 'mister'. I'm getting used to this...
I'm between another 3.

She: I decided! The one with the shadow and... This one before you fell on the lake hahahah.

He: Wow, really? I wanted to hide this one but you would notice it.
You really enjoyed catching me trying to feed the duck didn't you?

She: Are you kidding, this is a obvious choice! I laughed so hard when the duck got scared of you!
I never thought you would try to get him although he was near. I felt bad for laughing at you, almost entirely wet in that cold.

He: Almost felt bad...

She: Well it was pretty damn funny...

He: Nevermind, you don't have to ask me. I liked this smile I saw in your face while you were telling me this...

She: Good.
So, tell me yours!

He: Well, my first choice is also obvious...

She: The one I'm frowning!
Ohh I look so...

He: Happy, calm, beautiful.

She: Ok then you can have it!
What about the other?

He: I just can't decide. And we're late for the movies...

couple of words [48]

She: You're not the worst passionate guy. By far you're not!
You just have to talk more... Open yourself a little more so I'll know that we are in the same tracks.

He: That was the problem last time, I opened myself perhaps too much and I ended up alone, well you know the story...
Wait, let me finish. You know the story, but... I will do it, I promise.
You're the best thing that happened to me in years I guess.

She: It's not that I don't like to read what you write or say to me, quite the opposite. But I already know you're good with it. Now we're together I need you with me.

He: You're right. And I need you with me too. It's good to have a little peace of mind, finally.

She: That's exactly what this is about. Peace, finally. I'm starting to feel calm and it's comforting...

He: It's what I always say, companionship is the best thing...

She: We surely enjoy talking about our relation, don't we?

He: I must say, I kinda enjoy it. At some point this conversations will cease and we will remember about it with nostalgia...

He: You're doing that face now.

She: What face?

He: That one that says you're overthinking about something...

She: You already know me that well... I guess that's good.

He: So tell me, what bothers you?

She: I was thinking that maybe I was a little harsh with you.

He: You probably was.
But that's good.

She: Why good?

He: Well it shows me that you really believe in us. That this can be something really good.

She: I do believe.

He: And you were right about the 100% also. But I must say... After being broken hearted no one is 100% sure in a relationship.

She: I know, I wasn't either.

He: But time only knows how many % we will have.

She: And from now on we'll have to stop wasting our little time together discussing about it!

He: Couldn't agree more. We're in the same tracks after all.

She: Well not all the same. I still can't stand when your snore wakes me...

He: Funny, lady!

He: I know, don't worry. Just settle there and we'll do it. Baci!

She: Back to you mister polyglot!

 

[...]


She: You are a magician and haven't told me?!

He: Hahahah. I have my tricks...

She: You're gonna tell me how you did that, aren't you?

He: Oh don't be so curious about it. It's just a post-it. With a 'good luck' message...

She: Funny, I'm asking about how you were able to put it there! Because I know you didn't go there before me... Right?

He: A magician never reveals his tricks!

She: Oh you're not a magician! I just wanted to know because I loved it!... Now everyone there knows me because my face was priceless!

He: You're always priceless!
But you must admit, it's a great way to start on a new job!

She: I hope they are not thinking that I have an insane boyfriend. Are you always this surprising in a relationship, mister?

He: Well only in the beginning... When I definitely have your heart I'll turn into a fat, baggy, drinking beer man!

She: Hahahah funny...

He: I'm telling you. Wait and see!

She: I'm not quite anxious about that!
Now I have to go, my battery is dying... Dinner tomorrow, I'll call you. Baci!

He: I told you, it was freezing there. Plus, it's sunday. The day of the sun.

She: I could barely remember of the sun with this cold.

He: It could be the last sunny sunday of the winter!

She: Ohh don't exagerate.
But it can be the only hot day in a while, you're right about that.

He: All these people agree with us...

She: It's nice to go out on a sunday, you know? Many people hate this day and forget to seize it.

He: I could not ask for anything else today. Walking with you in the park and having a picknick.

She: I bet that you're feeling like we're in a movie!

He: Hahahah you already know me well lady!

She: Well all I can say about it is that these months, our first months have being a great surprise...

He: Agreed. May the next ones be just like that!

She: Or better.

He: Hey that tree is nice to seat right?
But stop right there! I'm gonna take a pic of you.

[...]
I've been sleeping better you know?

She: I do hahahah. I sometimes wake up and you're smiling... Makes me want to wake you up and ask you about, but that isn't fair!

He: Mmm I'm glad you don't wake me! I wouldn't sleep anymore... And neither would you!

She: You wish! When I'm sleepy not even a earthquake can stop me closing my eyes...

He: I know that too. But what you didn't know is that you talk while sleeping when you're tired!

She: Oh my God. What do I say?

He: Hahahah I would never tell you that!

She: You're mean! But it's ok, it's only fair, I see you smiling and you hear me talking. I hope it's nothing bad.

She: You do! I love these 'couples night'. I wish we all could do this more often.

He: Well I can't say I don't enjoy, but...

She: So now you're going to tell me what is that concerned, vague look in your face?

He: It's this obvious?

She: For me, yep. I don't know about them, but... Who cares?

He: Actually it's about exactly that.

She: What dear?

He: How many times the girls asked you about our closeness or said that we are 'hatefully perfect together'?

She: A whole lot of times. I stopped counting. But I take that as a compliment... Don't you?

He: I'm not sure. Four couples seeing themselves almost once a month for the past... Three years? And we are the youngest one.

She: Say it louder, I didn't hear that last part from here!

He: Well... I was saying that we are the youngest couple. Also they're not as close as we are. And I don't mean passionate, it's...

She: Connection.

He: Exactly hun. I don't know, I got tired hearing things like that. It's always the same.

She: See... Everyone has problems. We do too, but our disagreements never turned into fights. I always say that to the girls, too.
It's a rare couple, pretty damn rare! It's a normal thing if they have a bit of envy from us. And I don't see that as a bad thing. Everyone wants to be happy, or happier. Even you, even me.

He: Oh you bet. But can't complain now we are living together. In our second year together all I wanted was that. But was risky. Now we know each other this well I see everything has it's time.

She: Good to see that worried look gone!

He: And do you know what? It's even better knowing that there isn't a recipe for that.

She: Makes you feel special, doesnt'? I know the feeling...

He: You do...
And I know the feeling of sushi also. Next time please arrange it for another place! I don't know why I keep eating this...

But speaking of 'dark', tell me something... Which year was your darkest?

She: Well... I don't have a specific year... But I was having a living hell when we met.

He: Oh I know that.

She: Also, it was late autumn. It's always a little depressing.

He: I couldn't agree more...

She: And which was your darkest year?

He: Well it is kinda... The year before we met, but since things doesn't simply change in the new year I can say that I was having the worst time then, either.

She: And we managed to be nice to each other. That is something...

He: Hahah it is. We were two depressed persons. I guess that helped. We knew then that we had at least each other.
Plus, it was a nice day.

She: Yeah, that helped too.
Now with this 'dark subject' I want to have some dark chocolate! Bring it to me, will you?

She: No it's not.

He: Plus this damn cold... We are not leaving the apartment this weekend, right?

She: If we do, we'll have a challenge.

He: What kind?

She: Well let's say, for instance, that we need to buy something. We'll have a challenge and the loser will have to go alone.

He: Wow this cold makes you mean!

She: Funny! Do you agree?

He: What can I do, I'm the one who said that wouldn't leave the apartment...
I bet you have something in mind for us to do, right?

She: You know me, mister! But it's a surprise.

He: You know, there is one thing that makes this day less miserable.

She: What dear?

He: This cell-phone plan where we can talk whenever we want to.

She: You're right. But if you're thinking positively about the cellular company, then you really must be missing me!

He: Hahah funny. I can't even deny, either you're looking at me or not. That's bad!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to your 'challenge', lady!

He: That's good then. I went there to have lunch with you but you were already gone.

She: If I knew my prince was comming I'd stay a few more minutes with hunger!

He: Hahahah... It's rare when my boss says that I have two hours for lunch, I had to spent it the best way.

She: And I missed that. Now I owe you one!

He: Yeah I'm gonna think about something you can do for me!

By the way, that post-it is still there...

She: Of course it is! And never will leave, he's going with me wherever I may go!

He: Really? What if the glue gets dry and it doesn't stick anymore?

She: Well then I'm going to hang it on my little wall with a pin.

He: Good to know.

He: I was thinking about that exactly...

She: Maybe it's something universal. A couple pulling the strings so another couple can be formed.

He: You know, I did noticed those two were walking slower than us. I just wouldn't say that out loud to you. I didn't know what you would think...

She: I was distracted... And vulnerable. Well we both were right?

He: We do remember a lot of that day. This is good.
And as I told you then, "everyone's damaged goods right?"

She: "What matters is what you do to keep moving on with your life". Yes, I remember mister! How could I forget?..

He: For a couple of weeks I thought you didn't liked my companionship...

She: Well of course I did. That day triggered some change in me... You did it.

He: And that's why you replied saying that "it doesn't matter if you screwed up a relationship before. We're gonna seek the next chance to do it better next time, or the next and someday it will work."

She: What a deep conversation to have in a sunny day, isn't?

He: That's why it only took me five minutes to like you.
I was glad that you opened your heart to a total stranger. I confided you since then.

She: Mmm... Maybe these producers stole our story and made a movie about it!

He: That's would be a shame.

She: Why?

He: Look at this theater... It's empty!

She: This young couples... They don't even apreciate art anymore!

He: Yeah. Let's face a french-1950's movie marathon after this one ends!

couple of words [38]

She: This... Is a rabbit!

He: Wrong!

She: Mmm... A wolf?

He: Hahahah wrong. A wolf similiar to a rabbit would be funny...
Last chance.

She: Okay... This is... A dinossaur!

He: Well, its a Tyrannosaurus actually... But it's ok.

She: A Tyrannosaurus is a type of dinossaur anyway. Where did you learn to do these shadows?

He: Movies. Old movies, you know, the ones with huge monsters... They were all made of clay or shadows with hands.

She: Oh my boyfriend has such a knowledge of pop culture hahah...

He: Among other futilities, of course.

She: Well it's pretty good to have someone to talk about these things. When a blackout comes we realize that!

He: Yeah. But we had dinner, asked ourselves questions and played shadows. If we keep talking I'm gonna sleep right here on the carpet...

She: That's a good idea... We can sleep here for a change. I'll get the blankets!

He: Fine by me. I know you're gonna be grumbling at dawn and I'll have to carry you back to the bedroom.

She: And you better not to wake me up, mister!

He: Hahah... We discuss that every time and do the same thing every time. Some things should never change alright!

couple of words [36]

She: Honey... I know I'm late but I'm finally going home and I need a hug.
Not just a hug, yours.

He: I'm waiting here. With my two arms!

[...]

He: So, what's so special about my hug?

She: Ahh it's obvious right? It's you. There isn't anyone else I'd like to be with.
Specially because it's been a hell of a week.

He: I feel the same... But... It's pretty much like every other week, isn't it?

She: I suppose...
But the best 'anti-stress' therapy is you. No matter where we are. Just being like we are, you know...

He: I do.
But we must stop talking now or you'll be sleeping in my arms in about five minutes...

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...

couple of words [33]

He: Nice sunset right?

She: Beautiful.

He: I'm glad we could make it in time to see it. Best thing about summer is this view...

She: I don't know if it's the best, but... It's pretty nice to get home in a hot day like this and apreciate it.

[...]

He: I know. It's not the best thing about summer.

She: What is then?

He: To get home in a hot day like this... And have someone to share this sunset with.

She: Oh, not just someone. The one.

He: The only one.

She: The nicest one.

He: The... Well, this could go on and on...

She: Yeah. Thank God we have some more hours to be the perfect couple today...

couple of words [32]

He: Now you know that your boyfriend is a nerd coward...

She: Not at all. I surely wouldn't want you to get into a fight with a random guy annoying me in the bar.

He: Yeah, but would help if I was... You know... Stronger, tough.

She: Muscles over your brain? Thank you very much, no...
Now let's get some more drinks.

[...]

He: So you were saying that you actually like that I'm weak and nerdy?

She: I wouldn't say you're 'nerdy'. Sweet is better. Sensitive but a man. Not a jerk who likes muscles and breasts and beers, and muscles... See it?

He: I see your point. I just wish that I could talk more... Imposing. Like you, you dominate every conversation with a man if you want to.

She: Honey, that's because women are hotter. Always. Not because you think you're soft.

He: Mmm... I suppose so...
And you know... You are soft.

She: Am I?

He: Yeah, surely is.

She: Why is that?

He: You know... You're all soft... Like... A living cushion that I want to bite all the time. That soft.
