-It was midday; the sun was filtering
through the kitchen window.
One of those early spring days, when the
sunrays are too timid to become hot enough, so your hands and toes are
constantly cold but there is some kind of hope in your chest. Hope for longer and happier days.
- I could see you sitting down on the
kitchen table, rumbling down on your spaghettis, which were furiously fighting
back.
-I stepped in the tiny kitchen, intently
looking at you. You noticed me and, slowly, as I walked toward you, you stopped
gobbling on them. My finger skimmed across your lips, brushing away every tiny
tomato spot, and then, while still holding your gaze, I licked my finger.
-A smile started to play on your lips,
while your eyes burned like molten cobalt. I swear I felt the heat in my guts,
ravaging its way in.
I looked back at you knowing I was in
trouble. And I liked it. So I giggled away while I started running. Escaping
from you. But that meant the game was on.
You, instantly, stood up from that chair, knocking it over. The hunt was on.
I ran to the living room, knowing,
certainly, I could not get far before you could catch me, so I jumped over the
sofa, landed flat on my stomach and hid there, trying to control my breaths. All
I could hear was your steps, which eventually stopped in the middle of the
room. I could see your barefoot feet from underneath that brown velvet sofa.
The house was not very big, so obviously there was not much furniture. I
realised, too late.
-Damned –I sighed.
You laughed, walking towards my hideout. I
could not see you anymore.
Suddenly my feet were strongly pulled. I
yelled out of surprise, and laughed as soon as I saw it was you.
