Seeds: 6.7, 7.5, 9.6, 10.7

Story:

-Thirty-year-old Carlissa did not like her job at the office. She worked as a bookkeeper and she found this boring. Needing more excitement in her life, she decided to try her luck in performing arts. She thus joined a theater workshop where she met Italo, a brawny, handsome, dark-skinned young actor whose face had every fine feature similar to those of the statue of David. The moment she saw him, she knew that she was going to marry him, even if he was so much younger—she wanted to, and she wanted him to want to.

-Italo, on the other hand, was pretty dense and could not pick up whenever she tried to make advances. An actor who perceived every event in his real life as a stage scene, he found it hard to take things seriously, let alone realistically. That was Carlissa’s problem. She wanted to show the young man how much she adored him, but to no avail, the responses she got were always friendly and non-romantic, and this made her think that he was only playing hard-to-get.

-One late afternoon, Italo was by himself dressing up after rehearsals. Carlissa walked in, locked the dressing room, stood in front of him at a close angle, and said "I just need to talk to you." Semi-naked, Italo was about to shout, but she cupped his mouth and told him not to. Carlissa could see it from his eyes that he was afraid, and that even with all the youthful energy and spirit that was inside of him, he did not know what was going on. 

-Italo looked into Carlissa's eyes with much fear. She was touching every part of his smooth, toned body. Just then, they heard footsteps approaching the room. Knowing that she had to leave right away, Carlissa put her hand on Italo's face for one last time and said, "I wanna marry you." Italo shook his head right after she left.
