"Adiós"

👋

"I am trusting you with these keys. Guard them with your life." Clark says and he places the ring of keys into the palm of Morton's hand as if they were precious gold.

"Clark, I've minded your shop hundreds of times. At least now I will actually get paid for it." He huffs as the keys get shoved into his back pocket. "Don't think about this place and just go and enjoy life....speaking of which..."

Both Morton and Clark look up to see a red mini convertible approaching, with the top down. Clark smiles at the driver. Roshan's cocoa brown hair was all blown back, windswept, with big mirrored sunglasses sat on his nose. His crisp white t-shirt looked so good against his skin. 

"Where the hell did you get this from?" Clark says with surprise as he watches Roshan exit the vehicle, pushing the sunglasses  onto the top of his head in the process.

"I just picked it up for our road trip. Do you like it?"  He replies admiring the bright shiny paintwork once again.

"You bought it?" Clark says, again feeling that element of shock.

"I had savings sitting there, doing nothing. They're no use in a bank. Life's for living isn't it?"

"Hello?...what have you done to Roshan Heath?" Clark takes a step forward, lightly tapping on Roshan's forehead.

"So are you going to get in or not?" Roshan says rolling his eyes.

Clark picks up his bag and throws it in the back seat before getting into the passenger seat, making Roshan smile. He then looks at Morton watching the pair. "Hey, this bookshop is his baby, so that means it's my baby, so look after it."

"Yes chef." Morton replies, momentarily terrified at the authoritative tone. He watches as Roshan gets into the drivers seat.

"So, where shall we go?" Clark says, looking over at Roshan who was pulling his sunglasses over his eyes, before doing up his seatbelt.

"Anywhere with you." Comes the reply. They look at eachothers' eyes excited with their futures unknown. Roshan leans forwards, he places a tender kiss on Clark's lips. He then pulls away, switches on the ignition and gets into gear and together they head off into the horizon.

It's nearly approaching lunch. Morton hears the door opening, expecting it to be Oliver who has said he would meet, but he is surprised to see someone altogether different enter the shop. "Raphael...what  are you doing here?"

The man takes a few steps into the shop. "I'm here to buy a book. You still sell books right?" He says with that smugness which Morton saw once upon a time as alluring, but now it just reminded him of how naive he was.

"Well don't let me stop you." Morton replies, trying to busy himself with what little there was to do behind the counter.

Raphael disappears in between the shelves and Morton feels that slight relief that he is at least out of sight. The shop door now opens once again and this time it is Oliver who enters.

"Hey, Morton, you ready?" Morton looks at Oliver, then glances over in the direction where Raphael had gone. "What's up?" Oliver says, looking in the said direction. Raphael now steps out, making Oliver stop in his tracks.

"Hello Oliver." Raphael says, with that same tone which is now apparant he uses on everyone.

"Why are you here?" Oliver asks.

"To buy a book apparently." Morton says, glancing at Oliver before daring to face Raphael.

"Well this is a nice little reunion." Raphael begins, stepping out from the shelves.

Morton now moves from around the counter to stand next to Oliver. "I want you to leave." He says, his heart beating in his chest with being forced to feel emotions he didn't really want to feel.

"Hey, now is that the way to treat a customer?"

"You are not here to buy a book Raphael. Do you think we are stupid?" Oliver now says. "You are nothing to us."

"Creo que te tendré donde te quiero." Raphael replies smirking as he gets closer to the pair.

"Stop with that!" Morton says, taking a step back. "You know I don't understand."

"Then let me show you what I mean." Raphael utters as he raises a hand, to lift Morton's chin.  Their eyes meeting.

Morton knew it was dangerous as Raphael boldly leans in, taking possession of Morton's lips in a passionate kiss.

Oliver looks on at the interaction happening literally right next to him. He pushes the two apart. "Morton, what do you think you're doing?"

"Aw little Oliver. Are you sad to be missing out?...realmente quieres probar mis labios de nuevo, ¿no?" He now grabs at the shirt Oliver is wearing pulling the shorter man up onto his tip toes. The kiss is sealed, now with Morton looking on.

"Why are you doing this Raphael?" Morton questions as Oliver is finally released from the heated kiss.

"Why? Don't you like this? You both want me, I want you both. What is the problem?"

Morton looks at Oliver, with Oliver looking back at Raphael. "We don't need you." He says with all the conviction he can muster.

"You may not need me, but I can tell you both want me." He grins, reaching forward and again placing kisses on them both.  "y lo que Raphael quiere, Raphael obtiene."

"Well...." Morton says pulling back once again. "As it seems you cannot understand English and we can't understand Spanish, lets see if you understand this..."

He raises a knee and pushes forward in full force right into Raphael's crotch. Raphael instantly doubles over in pain, with Morton stepping back, looking satisfied with himself.

"And just incase you didn't understand...." Oliver raises his own knee and repeats the action.  Raphael is now on his knees before the pair. "And one thing I did learn in Spanish...

"Vete a la mierda. And I won't hesitate to tell your boss about your abuse of power." Oliver adds.

"Hey, I actually know what that means." Morton says laughing. Before adding, "Get out and don't come back."

Raphael manages to get to his feet and stumbles to the door.

"Adiós!"
