Alberto's POV
I have never watched a romance movie before. It's weird, but also intriguing. Usually, I don't think I would be interested in them. After all, this year I discovered my love for shows like the Amazing Spider Man or Bat Man, which are action packed and wayyy more interesting. But this film was opening my eyes. Especially since Luca was here. His perfect face, his gorgeous smile, his soft, chocolate brown eyes...wait. What am I going on about?
Luca is different than everyone else in my life. He understands me and he doesn't leave me like my dad did. But he's not like Massimo or Giulia. I trust Massimo, but I think of him as more like a dad figure. I don't think of Luca like that. And Giulia, she's my sister, I love her very much. But I would never kiss her or anything.
I guess I could call Luca my brother?
Hmm..no. That doesn't seem right either.
Most people in my life would probably call him a best friend, but I've always believed that he's more than that. I'm just not sure in which way. Well...until recently, until tonight. I think that I finally understand how I feel about Luca.
It's like how the woman and the man feel about each other in the movie. They crave one another's companionship. They understand one another. They are patient with each other. They are better together. They each want to take care of the other and be a bigger part of one another's life. I think that's how I feel about Luca.
I want to take care of him. I want to protect him and make him happy. I want to be the sunshine in his life.
Luca is my better half.
That's why I'm so interested in this film because I've never really understood a romantic relationship before. Until, this was laid out before me in the form of a movie. I finally understand the insides and details of why people feel the way they feel about another person. I understand why people do crazy things for love.
I would do anything for Luca, and I mean that with my whole heart.
I focus my attention back onto the film playing in front of us, now much more aware of the gorgeous boy less than two inches away from me.
