Love is blind

Kimberly

I'm currently in Italy for four weeks for filming. I've been on it for two weeks now. In the early morning I sit in a taxi with Silvia. We are on our way to the filming location for today. "Are you still able to keep it up a bit". I shrug. "I'm pretty tired. They are long filming days. It also doesn't help that I've hardly slept for two weeks". Silvia nods in understanding. "Sleeping at home has been going a bit better for you, I think". I nod with a smile on my face. "How often do you sleep together with Julia now?". "In recent weeks I have usually been at her home one night a week. Julia and Sem are with me most weekends". Silvia looks at me with a smile. "When are you going to make it official?" I sigh. "Sil, stop talking about it. Julia and I are just friends. I know I never stand a chance with her for more than a friendship and I will settle for that. I'm already glad she came into my life. I don't want to lose her. So I am content with the friendship we have". Silvia shakes her head. "How do you come to the fact that you don't stand a chance with her?". The taxi stops, which means we have arrived at our destination. "Because she doesn't like women. You know that yourself. I really want you to stop talking about it. It is what it is". After saying that, I get out of the taxi irritated. I'm glad I can go back to work and have my mind elsewhere for a while.

Today was another ridiculously long filming day. When I'm back in the taxi with Silvia I grab my phone. Normally I would have been on the phone with Julia for a long time. "Wait a second". Silvia takes my phone. "What? I want to call Julia before she might be asleep," I say irritated. "I think I have something to make up for after this morning. I know I shouldn't have brought it up, so I've spent all day getting this sorted out for you." After Silvia says that she hands me an envelope. I look at her with wide eyes when I see what's inside. "What is this?". Silvia looks at me with a smile. "I was able to arrange for you to be free tomorrow. The scenes you had to filming could be moved. We are now driving to the airport. You deserve a good night's sleep. You will fly back tomorrow at the end of the afternoon". I unbuckle my seatbelt to give her a hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you". I hear her laugh. "Do not mention it. I've done it for myself too. I can't survive having to spend another two weeks with you like this". I give her a little nudge. "I love you too". She gives me back my phone. "I love you too. And now you can call her". I take my phone. Instead of calling I send Julia a message. I'm way too hyper right now. I don't want to let Julia know just yet. I want to surprise her and hope she likes this as much as I do.

K: Hey beauty! How is it over there?

J: You're late Sunshine. Don't have time to call yet and how are things with you?

K: Aaaah. Do you miss me?

J: Maybe a little. But how is it there?

K: Just a little? I miss you too. I'm tired. Started at four this morning and just got back in the taxi. So I'm still on my way.

J: Okay maybe a little more than a little ;) . That is quite a long day. What time do you expect to be at your hotel?

K: I have no idea. It's a long drive. You don't have to wait for me either. Talk to you tomorrow. Sleep tight beauty.

J: Okay I'll try to go to sleep. When you're in your room, try calling me. Maybe I'm still awake, otherwise I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Not much later we arrive at the airport. "Thank you really much. And sorry for taking it out on you." Silvia looks at me with a smile. "Don't worry about that. I'm also sure you would do the same for me. But you really need to hurry now or you'll miss your flight. As soon as you land, a taxi will be waiting for you. I'll pick you up here tomorrow. I only expect to see you rested again". I give her a quick kiss. "I love you. I'm just going to run now. I see you tomorrow".

It isaround three in the morning when I open the front door as gently and carefullyas possible. I sneak into Julia's bedroom. I quickly pull a shirt and sportsshorts from her wardrobe. As quietly as possible I go to the bathroom to getready for the night. Then I carefully crawl into bed with her. "Sorry. Ididn't want to wake you up." As soon as I hit the bed, Julia wakes up.Before she can turn around I've already snuggled up against her and put an armaround her. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in Italyfor another two weeks?". Judging byher voice, she thinks it's a nice surprise. "I can go again," I say with asmall smile. "No you're not". Julia grabs my arm and makes me holdher tighter. "I wasn't about to let you go again. I missed you," Isay with a sigh of relief. "I missed you too, but shouldn't you stay twoweeks longer?". "Yes, but Silvia was able to arrange for me to go for aday. I'll be off again tomorrow afternoon, but sorry, we'll talk tomorrow. I'mreally tired. I barely slept for two weeks." I can't help but yawn. "Sleepwell Sunshine". She kisses my hand. "Sleep tight beauty". Notmuch later we both fall asleep.
