Lontana Da Me 2

Walk on a Sunny Day

"That's easy, Mirko! Don't be that negative!"
"I am not negative! I just don't understand this freaking maths-stuff!", Mirko yelled back frustrated and looked on the paper with thousand of numbers and letters. Letters! Why did they have to use letters in maths? He hated this subject. Especially it was boring and he didn't understand it. This subject was the main reason for hating school! But not for his friend Daniel. He did a great job at school even he did not look like that. He was a smart guy at school and his grade were much better than Mirko's. That's why he tried to teach him a little bit. He helped him because they were best friends. But it was hard teaching someone who wasn't motivated. And Mirko wasn't.
"Mirko, maybe we should do a little break and talk about something else."
Mirko just nodded and threw the big maths-book on his bed.
"For example about graffities!"
Daniels' eyes started growing and he looked around to find some new sketches Mirko created: "Do you have some new projects?"
"Projects?", Mirko asked unknowing. His thoughts have still been in another world. A maths-world. Even though he hated school he spent a lot of time of the day thinking about this topic because his father wanted him to do this. He forced him to do nothing else. That was terrible!
But Daniel was able to think about something else: "I am talking about your graffities!"
"Graffities? No, Daniel, I stopped creating some new."
Daniel got shocked. His best friend was so talented. He had always done amazing sketches and graffities.
"But why? You have to! Do you remember the one you did last year? To say sorry to Valeria?"
He would never forget this graffitie. He was passing it everyday and every single time he was sawing it he had to smile.
"Sure, Daniel!"
"So you also remember how much the people loved it. And they still do!", Daniel said, "And if I was you I would take advantage of it. You have never done another streetart!"
"But I do! This one with blue and violet color. It says È tutta colpa mia."
"Oh right, that one. But Mirko, that's one year ago! You have to show yourself again. The people need signs of you."
Maybe Daniel was right and Mirko had already thought about it too because he missed spaying. But the problem was that he did not know what to spray. He had no inspiration anymore. Even though Valeria was back he had no idea. He had believed that Valeria took away his imspiration when she'd left. But it looked like there was more that blocked him.
"Mirko?"
"Yes, maybe you are right. But I have no idea what to do. I am out of inspiration, Daniel."
"Since when?"
"Since...Since Valeria went on tour."
"Sure! That was so obviously! She is destorying your concentration, Mirko. Valeria is not goo for you and your career!"
"For real? You too?", Mirko asked angry, "Why is everybody saying something against Valeria? When I first told you about her you was okay with it. And now everybody hates her! My father, you..."
"Yes, because she changed you! She isn't a good person"
He did not even try to deny it. He said that he hated her without feeling bad. And that's what made Mirko angry. It was okay that Daniel said that Mirko changed but if someone said something against his girlfriend the fun was over! Right now!
"You can say anything you want but don't talk about Valeria that way!", Mirko said threatening, "Valeria is a wonderful person and I love her. So either you accept our relationship or you can leave!"
He pointed on the door of his room and without waiting Daniel left the room. It hurt hearing his best friend saying things like that and it also hurt forcing him to leav. But he had no other choice.
Angrily Mirko kicked against a punching bag that was standing in a corner of his room and felt on the ground because of too much power of Mirko's kick.
"Wow, calm down, boy!", he heard a cute and soft voice saying. Surprised he turned around and looked into two beautiful eyes. He could never say it enough times.
"Vale", Mirko answered with a overwhelmed voice, "What are you doing here?"
"Your father let me come in."
His father? A real miracle after what he had said about Valeria.
"It's sunday and I have a little bit freetime before I have to go to the studios again", she explained, "So I thought we could spend it together and do a little walk through the Villa Borghese."
She saved his day! For real! That's exactly what he needed right now to calm down and to feel better: "That would be amazing!"
"Perfect! So you could also tell me why Daniel ran out of the house and did not even greet me. And what's that about."
She looked into the corner where you could find the punching bag lying on the ground like a dead body.
"That's a long story to tell."
"So it's a yes?"
Sure he would do a walk with her. He was an idiot if he would say no!

"So he is angry because you lost your inspiration and are not able to do some skatches?", Valeria asked and looked confused when Mirko finished the short form of the fight between Daniel and him. The couple has already been in the park of the Villa Borghese. They had taken a bus that did not take a lot of time to spend as much time as they could in this amazing place. The sun were shining and a little breeze was blowing through their hair. Everything was perfect. Exept from the fact that Mirko did not tell the whole truth about his fight with Daniel. He didn't tell Valeria that they had fought becaus of her.
"Yes, he thinks that I should be more active on the street to show my talent", Mirko said and did not lie by saying this. It was still the truth.
"And he is right but if you aren't creative at the moment he has to accept it."
He smiled at her luckily and took her hand to show the whole world how much he was falling for her. Everybody should see that they were a couple.
"I am so happy because I have you", he admitted.
Valeria started smiling and gave her a little kiss on his cheek: "Me too, but don't change the subject! We were talking about your fight with Daniel."
"No, we are talking about a lot of more."
Mirko walked towards a bench and sat down but his girlfriend did not really understand what he was talking about: "What do you mean?"
She followed him and laid her legs on his lap to make herself comfortable. Mirko loved that. It doesn't metter when she touched him: It felt amazing.
"I mean...we are talking about the difficult topic future too."
"Yes, yes...That's an annoying topic but it can also be interesting and exciting. Because if you know what your destiny is about everything is possible."
She had already said that but Mirko wasn't sure if he really could follow his passion. He didn't know if his passion was his destiny.
Instead of Valeria: "You should apply to one of those Schools of Art."
"No, Valeria...", he contradicted and took her hand to wrap his fingers around her one.
"Why not? Last night I searched for some information about a school in Roma that's really popular", Valeria explained, "And it isn't that difficult to apply. You just have to send some projects of you to them."
Mirko started laughing when he heard her talking about it. Because of two things: "You will never give up, right?"
"No, because I want you to live your dream. Like I do. You deserve to be happy."
She grinned bright when she saw Mirko smiling. She was so stubborn. But he loved it.
"Yes, maybe you think that I deserve it. But the last year I drew nothing new. Like I said before: My inspiration was blown away."
"So we should try to get it back", Valeria whispered smiling and leaned in to give him a soft kiss. Okay, first it was soft but then it turned into a passionate kiss. But the feelings weren't missing. Not at all! Mirko felt every single part of her lips and the vibration that flew through his whole body. This strawberry flavor. The smell of a summer-breeze. It was the most perfect kiss. Like everytime she kissed him.
Carefully he laid he hand on her cheek and stroked over it.
When she had left him quickly at the train station and he had have to spend their date on his own, he had thought that their relationship had changed and would never be the same. That he would never had the possibility to kiss her like that. But now...It was better than ever.
"We are getting away from our topic", Valeria mumbled between the kiss and broke it reluctantly. But their eye-connection did not break. Quietly they looked into eachother eyes when Mirko forced hisself to think about the main topic again: "Ehm...I don't know if that can bring my inspiration back."
"You can try it at home later. But if not we should do something against your maths-problems."
"Any how?", Mirko asked a little bit hypnotized because Valeria was so closed to him. It wasn't possible to look at her not intensively.
"I was really good in mathematics so maybe I can help you", she replied, "If you want me to!"
"Yeah! That would be perfect. Because...I think that Daniel will never help me again after this fight. And I have never understood what he explained to me."
Valeria started laughing when he said that because he sounded so helpless and sweet. It was crazy how much she loved looking into his eyes and seeing him smile. It did not matter what he did. To her it always seemed sweet.
"So I will be your own special teacher. And you will do everything I am going to tell you!"
"Okay, Signorina Munoz!"
