We stayed in our embrace for a while before he broke the silence.
"I love that you want to cuddle and I want that too, but I think we should start with the stitches, I don't really want to have to numb you again" he laughs a bit.
But I got scared and started shaking my head vigorously as tears were forming in my eyes.
"Hey hey no, I was kidding, we have at least 4 hours before it wears off, don't worry honey, I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you" he quickly apologize as I looked at my hands resting on my stomach.
"So, how about you lie down and talk to me about something or I don't know, maybe you want to listen to some music? Whatever you want" he says.
I look at him uncertain.
"It won't hurt a bit. You're completely numb and you won't feel anything. You may just feel a little pressure but no pain" he smiles "trust me Charlie, the worst part is over"
I begin to think.
I don't know exactly what I'm thinking, the worst is technically over so ... maybe I should let him do what he has to do?
So I look at him and nod slightly.
He smiles and guides me to lie down on the sofa, then walks behind my head snapping a new pair of gloves.
"Okay honey, I want you to close your eyes because I don't want you to see anything, ok love?"
I look at him worried and start shaking my head.
"No no no please no" I start to say but he cuts me off.
"No, hey honey I promise you, there is nothing to be afraid of, you will not feel anything, I just don't want you to be nervous about nothing. I promise that if I need to do something different I will tell you, but I'm pretty sure it will not happen" he smiles sweetly.
So I stare at him as he raises an eyebrow as if asking for permission to start.
So I close my eyes and start listening to his voice as my hands were literally ripping off the pillow.
"Okay love calm down, it's okay. So now you're just going to feel a little pressure, okay?" he warns ad something starts to mess on my forehead as I feel the pressure on my skin "Right like that. It's not that bad, is it?" he asks softly.
It was weird.
I do not like it.
But at least it didn't hurt.
"Come on Charlie, tell me about something" he tries to distract me.
"L-like what?"
"I don't know ... maybe what you like to do, your favorite ice cream flavor, your friends, your boyfriend or ..."
I cut him off
"I broke up with him ..."
"Ah ..." he fell silent "I didn't know that ... I'm sorry, may I ask you why?" he asks with a bit of curiosity.
"I chose to break up don't worry. I never liked him if I have to be honest, and he cheated on me, remember?" I say.
"Yeah" he goes silent for a second "Yeah I remember it ... But if you never liked him ... Why were you together?"
I laugh a little.
"You are a little naive my dear" I say, smiling a little.
He pretends to be offended making me laugh a little, and even if I don't know why I'm telling him this or why I'm so calm despite the situation I'm in, it's not bad to talk to him. I really like it indeed. It would be the first time I can be myself with someone other than an animal.
"Oh please do it again" he laughs a little.
"Do what?" I laugh.
"Exactly what I was talking about" he says confusing me.
I could tell he's smiling even though my eyes are closed.
"Your laugh, it's so cute! This is the only sound I want hear from you, no more tears"
At first I was a little shocked.
He doesn't even know me.
Why does he care so much for me?
"So you're single and blah blah blah ... But I still don't know what your favorite ice cream is!" he jokes.
I laugh a little more.
The atmosphere was really lightened.
"I love pistachio and ..... dark chocolate! Oh my God and then cookies ... caramel .... I love sweets ..." I was literally daydreaming.
He laughs loudly.
"Aaaaawww I see! Are you a little sugar vacuum cleaner!?! So why I still don't see you with a bar of chocolate every morning!?" he asks laughing.
If I could I would probably eat a bar of chocolate every morning actually.
"But really pistachio? It's a particular taste, I didn't expect it!" he says smiling again.
"What can I say? I'm a girl full of surprises" I say with a fake vain tone.
He laughs at my interpretation and then says "Yes ... Yes, I can tell".
