i insisted so much for going on this brief vacation.
i insisted you were gonna make it, and you cautiously accepted to come to the beach with me.
we had to take two trains for arriving there, because a couple friends invited us in their city, and three more for returning home.
you were a mess of sweaty fat rolls and anxiety even before leaving home.
i saw you waddle to the taxi to the station and i observed you while you realized this was your last vacation outside of the city we live in.
you tried your best to stay calm, to comply, to not get anxious and nervous... you tried your best to huff and puff and drag your 180 kilos of tender heavy meat from a train to another.
in a station there weren't lifts.
you had to take the stairs for the first time in six years.
you barely made it out alive, and i know because i had to fan you for a while while you tried your best to not puke for the fatigue and the pain in your joints, and i tried my best to keep you awake, not fainting, talking to you and giving you an icecream and a coke because my little piggy needed a treat soooo bad...
when we went to the beach, the bottom piece of your bikini was visible only from the back; you were so busy eating treat after treat ā a granita, an icecream, crisps, cokes, and so on ā that you barely noticed how people looked at you...
their eyes wide, the whispers, the giggles, the disbelief on their faces...
yeah, this was your last vacation outside of our home city, and i really enjoyed taking you around like my prize pig, waddling with your loppy belly outside of clothes too little for you, panting after few steps and always asking me when we're eating again.
it's been you telling me, once we returned, "it was nice being in the water... but i'd rather not leaving the city anymore. i'm so tired, amore mio... please, let's not do this ever again".
i'll do as you ask, my lovely piggy.
you used to love the sea, going new places, visiting cultural spots...
...but now you only love food, and me.
