Us Against All Odds (En)

Friday night in Vancouver

You are the answer to all my prayers. You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don't know how I could have lived without you for so long.

They had gone to eat poutine at 'La belle Patate', Maya had insisted on taking her wife to the best poutine restaurant in Vancouver.

- "good! What do you advise me to do?"

- "the classic! If you like it, tomorrow we'll eat a modified one."

- "and what do you take?"

- "like you"

- "don't you want us to get two different ones and then share?"

- "I share everything you want with you"

- "ok so let's do this"

- "Which one do you like?"

- "the one with peperoni

- "I should have known better"

- "I have a passion for pepperoni"

- "probably the Italian side"

- "this is your favorite side of me"

- "your whole person is my favorite side. I can't choose."

- "good answer"

- "good evening, my name is Lauren, I will be your waitress tonight, have you chosen?"

- "good evening, we'll have two Venezian Spritz with a plate of finger food please" said Maya

- "and did you choose your dishes?"

-"Yes, it will be two poutines, one classic and one with pepperoni" said the Italian

- "It works I'll be back with your drinks in a moment"

Once the waitress left, Maya looked at Carina: "Lauren... My luck, yours."

- "Stop it, she looks nice. And then, you don't choose your first name".

- "yes, and then it's okay she's not tall, blonde, blue-eyed, making advances to my wife"

- "and all this on top of that! Anyway I only have eyes for a blonde with blue eyes, only for a woman on this earth"

- "Kiss me" said the blonde, leaning over the table

Their lips had barely touched when the waitress returned. Maya had a pout and his wife had laughed.

- "sorry I didn't mean to interrupt"

-"No worries," laughed Carina.

- "the fingers food should be ready in ten minutes"

-"Thank you for the thoughtfulness," said Maya.

Lauren had left for another table.

- "Can you be more pleasant bambina? She'll think you're attacking her".

- "not promised"

- "say her name is... Charline for example"

- "why the name?!" she said suspiciously

-"no reason! Don't be paranoid, it's the first name that came to my mind, I wasn't going to tell you to think that her name was Maya, the most beautiful name on earth".

- "go for Charline"

- "grazie"

- "Prego!"
