Part 13

He woke up late the following morning having not slept a wink. He woke up and fell back asleep again continuously, and the noise! On the other side of his bedroom wall was the kitchen of a neighboring flat and the tenant, a sixty year old widow got up at four-thirty in the morning to wash the dishes. He could hear the clattering of porcelain and the characteristic sound of a large gas tank being moved. Why? Was it to clean the floor underneath it? There was no peace.

The thing that got to him was that around seven o’clock there was silence again. The time in the morning when he thought most people got up and started to make noise with manual labor, this crazy woman stopped. And so he often fell asleep again at that time. That morning it was nine o'clock when he switched on the radio to hear the news. He was thinking of many things; of his patent, of Lorenzo and of the situation, of whether or not he was passive or not. He didn’t really mind about being penetrated, he didn’t really enjoy it that much even though he was gay but it still troubled him that Lorenzo had been unable to do it. Would their relationship always be like that? Would he have to always have the active role and Lorenzo the passive? He got up and had breakfast.

“There are some bills that you have to pay at the post office and can you pick up my pension,” decided his mother, “If you go now there will be hardly anyone and you won’t have to wait long. And if you're passing by a supermarket, can you get potatoes, onions and lemons. And don’t forget to get something to go with the pasta, like lentils, chickpeas and some vegetables. Oh and don’t forget to buy some fruit, you know that I don’t eat if there isn’t any fruit on the table.”

“Ok mother, I’m off,” but she continued talking allowing herself to be interrupted.

“Christ, what a headache I have today? Why is that? It could be high blood pressure; will you take a reading before you go?”

“Ok, mother, fine...”

Her pressure was over 160, it wasn’t really high or dangerous but Rosario told her that it was nearly 150 so she wouldn’t worry needlessly.

Before he left, his phone rang. It was Francesco. “Hey Rosario, how's things?”

“Ok, why?”

“I bought another water tank, but this time its been

put in a lower place so we have to take it up thirty metres and we have to do it by hand.”

“Who’s 'we'?”

“Uh…you and me of course,” answered Francesco. “But we’re going to need some other help too, at least another two pairs of hands.”

“Who do you want to phone?”

“Well I kind of thought of your Lorenzo, isn’t he sporty?” and he laughed. “And Federico, Giorgia’s partner, if he wants to come, and her son.”

“You organize it and I’ll ask Lorenzo and get ready.”

***

Everything was organized for the following Saturday, at five o’clock in the afternoon, Rosario and Lorenzo arrived at Francesco’s place in the country.
