Mi Náufrago

Loving Me

Luna's POV:

Late dinner was great. Piero sure knew how to cook and satisfy my stomach. "Do you want more wine?" Piero asked as we sat outside, contemplating the breeze of the sea.

"No thanks. I'm getting a bit tipsy." I said and put my cup down as I had just finished my 6th cup of wine.

"I know right. We need to stop drinking. Hey, why don't we go and walk barefoot by the shore?" He suggested and I nodded. We took off our shoes and left them next to our chair.

We were still dressed all fancy due to the wedding, expect for the shoes and the coats now. "So, what will you do once summer ends?" Piero asked as we walked towards the water.

"Well, I want to finish up my studies. So I'll be doing that and also getting a new job. I quit the last one before I took my vacations, they expected so much of me and didn't want to pay me more." I explained.

"Oh! You sure have it planned already. What do you study for?" He asked, actually interested in knowing what I wanted to do with my life.

"Criminology." I said proudly.

"Woah! Are you some kind of prosecutor or what?" He asked.

"I'm going to become a prosecutor yes. At the moment I'm just an investigator in a small town police station. I'll escalate slowly." I said, proud of my small accomplishments.

"That's nice. Just be careful and not get killed or do any injustice with those who need it." Piero said and I nodded.

"I know." I said and kept walking down the wet sand. "So you just dedicate yourself to singing huh?"

"Yeah, I like my job. Well not as much when it comes to touring around the world. It is fun but I just miss my family like crazy." He said.

"But you are home now right? Enjoy it while you're with them." I said and took his hand. He nodded and laid his head on my shoulder.

"Yeah. Specially now... I won't be as sad whenever I have to travel. I'll have you to be thinking of." He said and stopped for a moment.

He took both of my hands and looked straight into my eyes. "You know, even if you're across the world from me, I'll always love you. And yes I do love you even if we just have a month going out."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing but I knew deep down that he truly meant it. "Can I ask you something?" I questioned.

"Anything." He replied.

"Let do something crazy." I suggested and he frowned as he didn't expect what I said.

"Like what? I'm totally in." He said after while.

"Oh I don't know." I said and began walking backwards towards the sea. "Maybe something that will ruin our clothes." I teased and he got the idea.

Piero ran towards me, taunting me too so I grabbed him by the strips he still had on and walked straight to the water. "Dio mio! The water is so cold!" He shouted as the water was now up to our waist.

"I know." I shivered. We stopped and I suddenly pushed him to the water. He splashed the cold water at me and quickly came up to the surface.

"Why did you do that?" He asked and I laughed. He began to tremble as the breeze blew lightly on us. "Come here! I love you!" He began to shout as he got up and wanted to hug me.

I tried to run away from him by going back to the sand but he got me by my waist. "Got you!" He shouted and I began to scream as he tried to tower me down into the water. He defeated me and I ended up under water.
