men... I hate them...

Saturday lunch in a restaurant not far from the Spanish Steps. A
Japanese restaurant. Mario and I, laughing at everyone and everything.
A great day until a girl comes in and starts shouting at Mario. I
intervene, she calls me bitch and tells me to mind my business as that
is something between her and her boyfriend. Mario is visibly upset and
gets more and more irate by this girl. I feel a sort of piety for her.
Mario gets up and smacks her with his strong hand back. The girl falls
and bleeds through her nostrils. Her face changes colour and shape,
she hugs Mario's leg and begs him to take her back and not abandon
him. Mario kicks her away. I am a roller-coaster of emotions,
feelings, memories, I feel like vomiting. I try to run to the toilet
but the girl's body is on my way and I cannot get up. I try to pass
but the bottle of wine falls and ends on the floor breaking in parts.
The girl is a mix of blood, tears and red wine. Some glass is on her
and a piece of bottle saws her stockings. She bleeds from a leg. she
keeps holding Mario's leg and kneels on the broken glasses. The few
restaurant guests start shouting at Mario and the restaurant manager
threatens to call the police. I want to die. "I have never been yours,
for me you were just someone to fuck when I needed. I never loved you,
you are pathetic, you are making a fool of yourself. Accept it as a
fact! You are a failure. You will never be nobody in life because you
are the stereotype of all negative qualities a woman can possibly
have" Mario shouted at the girl, looking her with an air of disgust
and compassion. The girl, Sonia, leaves his leg and throws on my lap
asking me, begging me, to leave him and give him back to her. "I got
nothing left in my life, without Mario, please please please..." Mario
pulls her back by the air and smacks her again". I stop him and he
pushes me back to sit. In that moment I live all my worst nightmares.
He will fucking pay for that! I lift the girl's chin and getting close
to that face that is now a mask of blood, I tell her "He is mine now.
get a life of your own and leave us alone". She is shocked, he is
happy, I am lost!
