Ten Tiny Love Stories Page #2

Synopsis: One at a time, each by herself, ten women speak directly into the camera and talk about themselves. Talking about a relationship with a man - sometimes a long-term one and more often a brief one - triggers remembrances of a parent lost, of a pet, of childhood. The first woman talks about running into a true love several years later, the second describes her loss of virginity, the third recounts a discomforting blind date; only one woman has experienced a long-term marriage. Dreams figure into several stories. Some ask "Is there only one great love?" "Where am I when I'm in a relationship - even one that ends in a night?," is a question others raise.

His face was so close

I could barely focus on it.

I looked down and saw the peach fuzz

on my thigh, standing on end.

After a while, he stopped.

I could tell he was trying

not to come.

He was breathing heavily,

through the nose.

I felt sorry for him.

I don't know why.

Then he started up again

and came right away.

That was fascinating

to watch.

I think I laughed a bit...

thank God

he didn't see that.

And then...

he pulled out and

my legs felt kind of cold.

And we lay there

for a long time,

saying nothing,

holding each other.

And I got up to use

the bathroom and came back.

He smiled at me and I watched him

as he fell asleep.

He had this little scar behind his ear,

I hadn't noticed before.

And I just lay there on top

of the cover, naked.

I could hear dogs

barking in the distance.

My dad had promised us

a dog ages ago.

He kept stringing us along.

We never got it.

I thought about that

for a while,

while Simon slept.

Then I had

this strange feeling...

as I was lying there.

I thought,

"I don't want him to wake up.

I don't want to hear

his voice anymore.

I don't want him to kiss

or touch me ever again.

I don't want him to remember

what happened this afternoon."

I don't know

what came over me.

I wanted to get up and leave

before he woke up.

And...

I closed my eyes

and told myself to chill.

Then I thought

about my mother.

I thought, " What a time

to think about her."

I wanted to think

about something else.

So...

I took a deep breath and said,

"Okay, just relax."

I tried not to fall asleep,

but I did.

I fell fast asleep.

And I had this really weird dream.

I dreamed of a dolphin.

It was out of the water.

It was drying in the sun

and its skin was about to crack.

I was looking at it

from above and crying.

And in the dream,

I remembered

that my mother had said to us

when we were little,

that she really wanted

to spend New Year's Eve...

of the year 2000 with us,

no matter what.

Of all the things

that were to come, for some reason,

that was the one day

she wanted to share with us...

more than anything else.

So, in the dream,

I said to her,

"Okay, Mom...

I promise.

We'll be together that day,

no matter what."

And I was thinking about that

later on, on my way home.

And how I wanted to tell

my sister about it... the dream.

We're twins and

ever since my mom died,

we tell each other

our dreams of her.

It's a deal we made.

I knew she wanted to hear

about the rest of my afternoon,

but I wasn't really thinking

about that anymore.

I wanted to talk about the dream.

I wanted to tell her.

I wasn't thinking

about Simon anymore.

Elias set me up

on a blind date

with this guy from Argentina
