*Sorry if I love you
That's what she said when we were walking after I picked her from school. She said it with that look on her face that made her even more adorable.
Ok let me start from beginning. I met this young girl one morning on my way to the office. She (in my defense) hit my car with her scooter. As a penance, I had to drive her to her school, since she was late (like I wasn't...). I gave her my card in case she wanted to settle her scooter damage. Work was getting exciting since my boss created a competition between me and a colleague to win a Japanese company account.
To my surprise when I was in a meeting the girl called me. Oh yeah before I forgot, her name was Niki. She asked me to pick her up since her scooter hadn't been repaired yet. Then she started talking about how she got a B+, a mark she never had before. I said to her that I couldn't talk since I was in a meeting with my boss. She kept on talking till finally she had to hang up. I could only sighed.
Short story, I spend quite a lot time with her eventually. Perhaps there's a part of me that needed the companionship after my girlfriend left me suddenly in an afternoon, leaving nothing except a goodbye letter. Perhaps when I was with Niki I felt young again, felt that impulsive actions that teenager do without giving further thoughts. I could swear I almost forgot how it felt to be a little mischievous. Maybe her simple and pure emotions intoxicated me. Not to mention she had the cutest face....
Was this love? Or was it just me trying to find some comfort from another girl since I was dumped not so long ago? Rebound?
I had to admit, her honesty and sincerity swept me away. I gave in to my desire when she visited my apartment and that night we made love. A thing that I regretted on the following day because I was supposed to present an advertisement idea to my boss. And the deadline was at 4 PM. To my utter surprise....she came to my office and brought two drawings. I looked at them and boy they were fresh ideas. A girl surfing with crescent moon as her surfboard. She remembered. She genuinely tried to help me. She touched my life in so many ways I couldn't describe. She brought colors to my monochromatic world.
As time went by I realized that I also fell for her. Her smile, her scent, her laughter...even her quite annoying habit to place her feet on the dashboard...which made her call me Papa, had make mey heart captivated. And one other thing, she inspired me. Though at the end the moon surfer idea was rejected (since the client wanted something more mature), she gave me another inspiration. Watching her sleep peacefully, moved me to take some pics of her which reflected what the client needed...simple, pure, yet powerful to move people...
But unfortunately it's not that easy. There's an age barrier. She's just seventeen, and we're separated twenty years. You do the math. But she's persistent. She even brought a list containing known celeb who happily married despite quite significant age difference.
Life...it went on mysteriously. As I thought I made my mind...out of nowhere my ex girlfriend came back and said that she did a terrible mistake by leaving me. She realized that she loved me and that she was just scared when I proposed her. I was shaken. It seemed more realistic to be with my ex girlfriend, than trying the possibilities with Niki. I was torn between these two.
As much as it hurt me, I decided to choose the more realistic one. So I broke up with Niki. You gotta give it up to woman's intuition. She could see it coming from my behavior. She asked me what's wrong living in a dream when I told her. I said, "It's not real". She was angry, and she had every right to feel that way. She asked me again, "You couldn't find a reason to break up, could you?" I told her..."I don't have any reason to stay"....she left in tears.
Few days later, she saw me having lunch with my now girlfriend ex-girlfriend. She was furious, I tried to talk to her but she snapped and told me that she thought there was something wrong with her. I could see that she's hurt....badly. But I think it's the best for us.
My friends welcomed back my girlfriend. And as time went by...I realized that my relationship was saturated. I missed Niki so much....I realized I made a mistake. And this was clearer when a good colleague forwarded an email...I found out that my girlfriend was actually seeing my other colleague who lost the competition. And she only came back because I won (the loser went to Lugano). I broke up with her (again)...this time for good. She was speechless when I showed her the 'smoking gun'.
I wrote a letter to Niki and gave it to her parents. I knew she was on summer vacation....perhaps also trying to forget all about me. But I'd keep waiting for her on a small island with a lighthouse. It's her dream....few weeks passed...I tried to occupy myself with fishing, but apparently I was bad at it. I kept on waiting.....one day...I heard a car approaching...I ran and finally saw Niki again...she came...
And as we met, Robbie William's song, She's The One played....Oh yeah...I forgot to tell you. My name is Alessandro Belli and this is my story.
Above was the plot of Sorry if I love you (Italian title : Scusa ma ti chiamo amore). One from a bunch of DVDs I bought last week. The cover itself was already misleading since it said French movie. I didn't know why I bought it...I just felt I needed something different, not another Hollywood movie. When I played it....I was surprised to see that it was actually Italian movie....Yippieee...
Michela Quattrociocche was adorable...she was absolutely cute and lively. Raoul Bova played his character well. Though the chemistry between them wasn't really obvious...but it's subtle enough to give hint to the audience.
As you read...the plot was simple...has been told so many times in so many ways. Reminded me of Richie Ren's movie, my wife is 18. Age....is it really a barrier? I don't think it's really is. Perhaps to some people it is...but if both are aware and wise enough to make a decision....it shouldn't matter. I don't know if I could decide the same with Alessandro..but to me, twenty years was too much of a difference. For starter...and fundamental one, there will be very likely a big difference in perspective. Both see, think, and want different things in life. The young one still wants to explore, to know what the world has to offer...while the old one wants to have a steady, no surprises kind of life. I'm not saying everybody will think like this....again wisdom doesn't necessarily come with age. If both have similar perspective and want the same things in life...I think they can make it.
For Alex, I guess he has found the one...Niki, she's the one...
Robbie Williams - She's The One
I was her she was me
We were one we were free
And if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
We were young we were wrong
We were fine all along
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
When you get to where you wanna go
And you know the things you wanna know
You're smiling
When you said what you wanna say
And you know the way you wanna play
You'll be so high you'll be flying
Though the sea will be strong I know we'll carry on
´Cause if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
When you get to where you wanna go
And you know the things you wanna know
You're smiling
When you said what you wanna say
And you know the way you wanna say it
You'll be so high you'll be flying
I was her she was me
We were one we were free
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
Yeah she's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
She's the one
