….
he was different, with his hair undone…he was passed out… in another world. It’s rather bizarre the way she loved him the moment she saw him that morning. He was not even paying attention to her as he’d always done. To her, he was so authentic at that moment. It’s when you don’t lie to anybody and, what’s more important, you don’t lie to yourself. She thought that in that way, he was honest to himself. With his attitude he was shouting: -”I had a bad night! so what!? I don’t need to fake in front of anybody..”
That was the first time she saw him so authentic. Not worrying about what people might say…, that was the attitude that captivated her. She wanted to kiss him all, stay by his side… and talk nonsense… She wanted to ask him what had happened the night before, but, that was a rather personal question and out of place. She managed, instead, to comment: -”it seems yesterday you had QUITE an interesting night..” then, she left the place.
That night, she had some flashbacks about the time he used to chasing her all day and night, the different ways he’d tried to call her attention, and the very personal things about himself. She remembered the bottles of perfume on his body that everybody noticed although people were at about one km away from him. She remembered his sexy and manly voice so different from the high pitch tone of her voice. She thought about so many things…about him..
She suddenly remembered the time he suggested her to be more aware of the people around her. It was true that she hadn’t cared much about her surroundings, and that she needed to change some of her attitudes to survive in the Tube but it was also true that sometimes you also need to think about yourself, as well. Sometimes, your soul needs some attention from you…
Except for his age, Peter was the person she was looking for. He had an open-mind that seduced her. He was social enough to be liked by the people around him; he was rather a faithful guy with- at least what he showed to a certain extend-… a “spiritual” side, as well. He was, however, quite progressive in his actions and thoughts. But what struck her the most was the way he solved “interpersonal problems”. That was what she liked most about him. Specially, she admired this aspect of his personality..
He was such a perfect guy, so eager to love. He had the ability to make people feel loved and special. He knew how to treat someone with care and respect. Though, he also had quite a “dark side”. Sometimes, he showed just the opposite… nothing to do with his patient personality and gentleman manners. So difficult to know a person -she thought. Though, she was living in the same house.
