You Deserve To Be Happy.

[8] If It's A Dream Don't Wake Me Up.

Maya

I woke up and she was there, clinging to me like a little octopus.
The sun just came up illuminates her.
I'll take some time to look at her.

Damn, how can she be so beautiful?
Her breath is slow and regular and her lips were the color of roses, slightly open.

I can't help myself, so I gently caress her cheek..
She opens her eyes and when she sees me, she squeezes me even harder.

M-"Good morning my little and beautiful octopus"

C-"Good morning my love"

These words resonate in my head, filling my heart.

I'm not sure I deserve this woman.

M-"Did you sleep well?"

C-"Absolutely yes, and you?"

M-"Of course! What time do you start work today?"

C-"I start at 9 a.m. and finish at 7 p.m. and you?"

M-"And..tell me, what place have you been visiting since you've been in Seattle?"
C-"Actually, not too much..."

Said, lowering her gaze, but her face light up again when she said to me

C-"But last year, the day of my birthday, I gave me a day just for myself and I went to the Seattle Aquarium, It was wonderful, you see that they care about their animals, and about the oceans...
You can also play with the animals!"

I am silent, listening to her... and she keeps telling, with a beautiful little baby happy face.
The only thing that I can do, it's smile...

C-"Now can you tell me what time do you start work today?"

M-"Yes of course, I'm sorry, I start at 8 a.m. and finish at 4 p.m.
Would you like to meet us later?
But don't feel compelled..
I mean, if you don't want I understand..it's just..."

"Ehi, piccola mia..." (hey, my baby)

She tells me something in Italian, and put two fingers on my lips..

She told me it other times, but now I can't remember what it means..
She's so sexy when she speaks Italian...

C-"I admit I've been a little angry with you, but..let's say you're very good at apologizing...
And also to do something else..."

Slowly approaches me, looking me directly in the eye.

In front of me, she stops and touch lightly my lips.

I can feel the warmth of her breath..
This woman gonna make me crazy!

She goes away, and then comes back to touch me...it was like a gentle dance, that spreads throughout my body.

Then she gives me a soft kiss...

"So I think I really want to see you today...
Now go to take a shower or you'll be late!
I'll go home to do the same thing...and maybe then you could pick me up at the hospital.
Just tell me how to dress"

Said smiling.

M-"Uhm..something comfortable, not elegant....something simple will be fine."

C-"Something simple, uhm?"

M-"Yes, simple!" I answer her laughing.

C-"All right, I'll find something in my clothes, Captain!"

M-"But Why don't you take shower here? with me?"

C-"Beacuase all my clothes, my scrubs and everything I need to work is there.."

M-You should bring them here, sometimes..."

I can't control this words.

She look at me with her deep eyes who can read inside me.

I lowe my gaze.

M-"I'm sorry, you're right..I'm overreacting, because, look...we can take this slow, we should take it slow..."

She interrupts me again saying..

C-"I'd really like to do it, sometimes"

She lifts her shoulders, smiling.

Oh my God she said yes...she really said yes...
I don't recognize myself anymore...

C-"Now go take a shower, or I'll be late too, and Bailey's gonna give me extra shifts, and then you'll have to wait more time to see me again!"

M-"All right, all right, I'm leavin'"

I steal her a littel kiss.

C-"See you later, bellissima!"

M-"See you later, sweetheart"

I've already chosen where I can take her.
