When we didn't make love, we made war. No better words could describe our relationship, she thought, standing on tiptoe, nude, in front of the mirror. Not a single night was similar to the other, but all of them were a routine in the end. She pulled back her lower lip, and as she rounded it with the liner in hand, memories flashed across her mind. Just me, holding my composure as every fiber of my being was torn up inside. Always standing tightly in a starched outfit: white shirt with a bow tie, a low cut black vest and black pants. Always at the entrance of the restaurant waiting for the arriving guests as The Bear sauntered around the tables, recklessly haunting
other women and releasing his passion with them in the ladies restroom while his consort was having dessert.
Pressing her lips in a pecking gesture, she wondered, "Who made a bigger fool of herself . . . his wife or lover? I guess neither of us." Mrs. Spicuzza knows that no one could sweep her off her pedestal of wife—no matter what lover or affair her husband was involved with—and this blushing hostess was completely aware of what to bear in order to be with a man of a respectable social position like him.
It µiµn’t matter to anyone, and much less to him, that I threw ironic comments like flaming arrows over the dining table, where his consort or his friends were seated, while I served the drinks. It µiµn’t either prevent from getting rid of his grip in our blue room, at the hotel located in the heart of Sorrento, in the early hours, as I shouted at him, I'm not another one of your whores!
In the end, I wouldn't leave or stop loving him in the same way
Mrs. Spicuzza was going to stop being his wife. All it was was just our war.
As her eyes traced every curve of her well- rounded breasts that came to a point at her small nipples in the mirror, she thought about the written lines of a manuscript she was reading. From which the blushing hostess learnt that we are interrelated with other beings that are supposed energies in different times and dimensions. All the human beings with whom we have any relation are those people who come in the same timeline as us. We meet them to know more about ourselves—from where we come and where we are going, and who we really are. In other words, the reflection of what you are defines, in a way, your personality. This is the reason why we put up with all the hurt from our beloveds and befriend those who can possibly harm us.
Cupping her breasts with her hands, as her lover used to do, she said to herself, "I prop myself up on this affirmation or presumption to
justify my hitch to The Bear and all the ones who could have abused me."
This blushing hostess will die with no clue about Alessandro's nickname. In fact, no reason for his nickname, ‘The Bear’, if he had an elongated figure and a receding hairline over the middle of his head. She never saw any resemblance to a bear at all. Somehow, with his tremendous presence and charisma and his prominent role over the others, as well as his overwhelming solitude, the nickname fit quite well with his personality.
Tossing her neck around, she has a glimpse of the uniform thrown over the bed. It was impressive to see Alessandro at one end of a rectangular table —which couldn't ever be circular in order to not be at the same position of relevance, like King Arthur and His Knights of The Round Table, exercising influence, which cast a spell, over his friends. Well, She wouldn't incline herself to think of them as friends, but just as followers. Indeed, those men followed him wherever he went, even inside this small place.
As the palm of her hands move all over her body, moistening her skin with soft cream, she recalled every caress of her lover, and said to herself, "Alessandro was a leader for all those men that were part of his circle. Some were closer than others, but the closeness weren't related to a social position, just to the fact of being agreeable or being a perfect companion for him." And, now that I think of it, it was true.
