There’s another post that I had part-written that should precede this but, then, that’s the way the blog goes.
Last night I was tired (see next post, probably) but I went round to his place anyway. He was watching a TV spectacular on Mina.
Actually, on that note, I must say how amusing I find it with some Italians when they mention some famous singer here and when you say you’ve never heard of them they can’t quite believe it! They seem to think that, if some person has had numerous hits in Italy, then the whole world should know. In the case of Mina, the first time F mentioned her and I said I’d never heard of her he was aghast.
‘But’, he said, ‘she was mentioned by [insert internationally famous singer here] and [insert another internationally famous singer here] said she was the best singer in the world’.
It’s difficult to explain that, if they are really, really lucky, they might have had one hit in the UK or USA, if they only sing in Italian. Anyway, it was Mina’s birthday a day or so ago and hence the TV spectacular.
His TV is in the bedroom so I went and lay on the bed with him. He seemed so pleased to see me, kissing me and hugging me. Later, when I got into bed (and he did too) he cuddled me and kissed my back. Not that we can do that the other way around. And, anyway, he was still watching the special.
I went to sleep, no dreams and only waking once for a short time. Today he called me as he was booking the flights for the wedding. He likes to ‘take charge’.
I thought he was just doing this wedding thing to keep me happy but he seemed really happy about it. And we get to go to the UK. I thought he wasn’t so keen on the whole thing and certainly not when it was going to be for almost a week but then, suddenly and without notice, he surprises me by actually booking the flights!
I guess I should be happy and I am but there is this thing that I’m never quite sure if he feels the same way; if we really are together. Like last night when he seemed so very pleased to see me and, yet, if I were to make the move first he would say ‘Not now’ or ‘I’m too hot’ or something to make me stop.
Yes, sometimes I get confused.
