"It was absolutely nothing. I had no ties. No bittersweet memories. I was leaving nothing behind. Never experienced companionship, never been in love. And in that moment, all I felt was loneliness and regret."
But there's always a first time..
_______________________________________________________ ''It's a pleasure, Agent Tequila!'' we smiled greeting our visitor from the United States, we had a mission to complete together and no time for much introduction at that time. We went through all the instructions and I went with Agent Tequila to Texas, my suitcase was already inside the plane that was going to take us ''Already?'' I giggled when I saw Agent Tequila pouring a shot of whiskey before sitting down ''It's never too early... or late!'' He laughed ''Have you tasted it?'' He raised the bottle towards me ''No thanks, I don't usually drink at work.'' I cleared my throat ''We are always working, I think mine is more interesting than yours.'' He sat in front of me with his legs open spread, thrown in the chair, I cleared my throat again and adjusted myself in the seat, feeling a little uncomfortable with the intimacy ''Do you already visited our country?'' He asked ''Yes, but this is my first time in Texas.'' I smiled friendly ''I can show you all our attractions in the city, best restaurants, bars...'' he took a sip, I can't tell if it was the American way of talking or if he was flirting with me.
The rest of the trip Tequila told me about several curiosities about the city where he lives and some interesting events that happened during the missions, in the end we managed to get along and I noticed that his way was like that, and there was no malice coming from him. Upon arriving I noticed that there were two missed calls from Harry on my phone and a message.
Are you alright? Harry
I immediately sent him a message, I must have been too distracted on the flight and didn't hear the cell phone ring, I putted on my glasses and went to the meeting room, Tequila introduced me to every corner of the drink factory, we had a good time that afternoon.
_______________________________________________________ ''You should visit us more, I enjoyed the company a lot, sometimes it gets lonely.'' Tequila smiled as we walked down the street, after buying a pretzel for each one in a cart in the center of London, right after we got off the plane, I enjoyed talking to someone new, but I was looking forward to meeting Harry "Sure, was nice." I bit a piece of my pretzel "Right now I would kill for a beer." He smiled ''We can stop by my house before you go!'' I smiled "Sounds great!'' We headed towards my street, it was night and it was getting cold by the begging of autumn coming, Tequila took off his coat and put it on my shoulders as soon as we turned the corner on my street ''Ah, I appreciate it but...'' he interrupted me ''Please, it's ok.'' He smiled ''It's just that I don't feel comfortable, and I'm not that cold." I spoke a little embarrassed, smelling another man's scent on my shoulders who was not Harry, I noticed that we were beng watched so I looked straight at Harry's balcony, as if something was calling me, and I saw him looking at Tequila as if he were the next target "Oh, fuck." I said closing my eyes as soon as Harry entered inside, today we had agreed having a dinner date and I totally forgot.
