L: I’m sorry, piccola. I wasn’t trying to upset you.
M: I know, please have a good day at work.
L: Principessa, I hope you have a wonderful day in class. I want you to know that you are a beautiful and intelligent young woman. And I’m proud to call you my wife. Don’t let some small-dicked little boy get you down. You are too gorgeous for him anyway.
Tears welled up in my eyes. He is just saying that to make me feel better. He can’t possibly believe his own words.
M: You are only saying that to be nice, but thank you anyway. It does help:)
L: I’m not saying just to be nice, piccola. I mean it.
M: Okay
L: No, none of that. Tell me you believe me, bambina.
I put my phone down in my lap. Then I started writing down notes that Professor Scott had written on the board, when he was talking about whatever the fuck he was talking about, while I was distracted by my husband. My phone buzzed, then buzzed again. I sighed, as I picked it up.
L: Piccola
L: Please don’t ignore me
M: I’m not trying to ignore you, Luca. But, I am trying to pay attention, so that I don’t miss the whole class. I’ll see you at home.
L: Uh, no. You’ll see me at noon, piccola gattina (little kitten), when I come to pick you up.
M: Okay
I set my phone down and ignored it. So that I could finish copying the board. Professor Scott kept giving me the side eye, as I scurried to write down the notes. He was done writing now, and he was dragging on about his favorite plants. Once I was finished copying the notes, I took a quick glance at my phone.
L: You have a sweet soul, principessa (princess)
I smiled to myself.
M: You do too, Luca. Don’t ever let anyone tell you anything different. I see the real you.
