Real Love

The Morning After

"Bambina"

She whispered.

She sits up and realises they spent the night...

"This was a mistake , I'm sorry..."

"I don't know... Maybe it's just... better this way."

"It's fine , I get it."

She pulled up her trousers.

"Can you drive me to the fire station please?"

"Sure."

She replied 

We pulled up to the fire station.

"Thanks again"

"We could do this again whenever you're ready."

"Maybe"

"Bye"

"Ciao Bella."

She put her sunglasses on and drove her red Lamborghini away.

I saw Andy run out to me and instantly felt embarrassed.

"Maya!"

"Just don't ..."

I put my hand out to silent her.

"Station 19 , Fire at 110 Foster Lane,"

 Blared through our radios.

I came home from work at midnight. 

I walked into the apartment and closed the door behind me and leaned against it. 

Looking across to the kitchen I saw wine bottle on the table. 

" I fucked this up."

"I gotta call her."

I dialled her number.

"Hi."

"Hello Maya."

"I want to see you again"

" I'm sorry"

"I want to see you again too Maya."

"I knew you would call!"

"You know me too well!"

"Can I meet you later on at Greys sloans,"

"Sure my shift ends at 11 , then I'm off call."

"It's a date."
