Kisses and kilometers

S: I would like to talk to you
J: About what, something happened after I left? He said with concern
S: No, well i didn't noticed anything. I wanted to talk about something else
J: What do you have in mind?
S: I don't know, tell me about you, almost 3 years in another continent should give great stories to tell me
J: Well i'm sure I can think of a few. Says between laughs
S: Well, what are you waiting for? Start now
J: Let's see ... I could tell you about my first day in Italy, or maybe about some of the friends I made. But I would prefer to tell you about the time I almost left the city to not seing none of the stops while i listened to the war stories of an old man who spent the afternoon painting in the square everyday. You'll see, he was a very kind man, his name was Rupert, I think he was about a 72 years.

While Jack told her each of the stories that Mr. Rupert told him on that trip that should have been shorter than it really was, Sam couldn't concentrate on anything other than the way he couldn't help smiling as he remembered that day that made him feel so special.
At the end of his story a question came almost without permission from his mouth.

J: Sam, what is it that really happens, what were you looking for with this visit?

Sam just looked him in the eye, didn't knew what to do.One part of her was diying for telling him how much she wanted him, but the other part of her feared that he would disappear from his life. She thought about it, she considered telling him, but the truth was that she didn't know for sure what she wanted to tell him.
When suddenly...

Jack: Sam ... I like you, I have fought to disappear this things that I feel, but that day, on that bus, I understood that I could spend an eternity waiting just to see that smile that your eyes reflect for you.

Sam, paralyzed by what she had just heard, was babbling things like "Jack ..." "Jack, I ..." "You ..." unable to complete even one sentence until Jack approached so much that the screams that she had in her head finally came out

S: You should know that if you approach more I wont let you go
J: Neither will i
