Gio, his art, music, and cats

March 29, 2022

Here is Gio again making me fall in love with him by playing his favorite music. Actually it wasn't his intention, it is just me. I'm falling in love with every bits of him, slowly. Some time, I hate him because he is sooo good at what he does. His works were applauded by the bosses and he is the most sought-after and in-demand employee. I thought of sabotaging him. Maybe I can delete all his files but then again, it would be easy for him to retrieve them all because his skills are great. I should devise a plan that will make him impossible to do the things that he has been tasked to do.

One night, when Gio rendered overtime at work, I purposely stuck a nail on the wheels of his scooter. I was confident that Gio won't be able to work the next morning because by then he would be at the hospital after an accident. But no, Gio is God's favorite. I'm amazed. How can one person make all the people around him love him? He narrated what happened to him on that night. He was able to notice that something was off on his scooter that he stopped at the highway and check what was wrong. The bosses loved him and took care of him all the more.

My plans failed in general and I'm now on the process of accepting the fact that he rules the world where I belong. At the moment, he sits just adjacent to me sipping cola from a styro-foam cup. Singing along with the music in the background. Did I ever told you that he has a cold voice. It is like he speaks from his diaphragm. He would make a great radio artist, I bet. But if he does that, he would be all perfect.

I learned through further research that Gio doesn't drink liquor. What a gift from heaven he would be to his girl. He is hard-working and creative. A girl won't ask for more. I secretly wish that I would be that girl but I belong to someone else already. Someone who is a total opposite of him. Sometimes, I regret being in a hurry. If only I waited for more, maybe I would be free when I meet him but then again there is also no assurance that he will like me back.

I never knew that I would fall for someone other than my partner. I thought I was into him until I met Gio. I started thinking of possible scenarios which I would likely experience if only, I first met Gio than my partner. Maybe life would be different for me. I, sometimes feel guilty whenever I caught myself imagining scenarios where my partner isn't in the picture. A part of me feels guilty and I feel like I'm cheating. But what if I am not really in love with him? What if I only love the idea of loving him?

What if? Aha! What if I would kill Gio's cats? I remember him sharing that cats, music and arts are three things he can't live without. I can't get rid of his music and art, but surely cats are easy to deal with. On Friday, it is his birthday and he invited us to come over. Then and there, I can give something for the cats to eat and die later. What would it be? Raisins, garlic, onions and chocolates? I would bring them all and secretly feed Gio's cats.

Why would a nicely-built guy like him have cats as pets anyway? He should have dogs or fishes. If I would be with him soon, I would really remove his cats from the picture. So, it would be better to take care of them as early as now. I would also want to see him in pieces as he sees his cats slowly dying one by one. Ohh. What a sight to behold!
