Past, Present and Future

Pizza Night

I already suspect  that Bruce has a crush on Eric. He acts scared around me so that's why I suspect something. Of course I don't confront either one of them but I look at Paul who shrugs.

After rehearsal I suggest to Paul we all go out to dinner to celebrate our upcoming tour. Now I know that Eric has too much to drink, he'll start talking. I wonder if Bruce will too. To my surprise everyone turns me down so I head to my apartment. 

"Gene! Hold on!" calls Paul. "You wanna meet up for pizza?"

Sighing, I agree. Knowing Paul, we'll wind up talking all night but I'm okay with that. We order pizza and drinks to be delivered. I look for clean plates and glasses while we wait.

"Geneie, do ya think I'll ever be able to ask our road manager out?"

"You can ask him out all ya want but the question is will he accept? He's scared of his own shadow." I hear the doorbell so I walk over to answer it. Our pizza's here. Handing one to Paul, he sets it down on the table and blows on his fingers. 

Opening the first box, I slide three slices onto my plate and slap Paul's hand away. "Mine! You ordered the cheese!" I put the box away while he opens his. I make a face behind his back and smile when he turns around.

"When you smile like that, you look like a shark waiting on its prey."

I roll my eyes back in my head and stuff the biggest slice in my mouth. Of course  I nearly choke which sends Paul into fits of laughter. This in turn makes him nearly choke. We wind up looking like two fools with pizza and soda everywhere. I have cheese up my nose while Paul snorts soda up his and immediately screams when it burns.

Finally we manage to finish the pizzas and sodas after which we clean up and Paul heads home. To my surprise, he turns around and plants a kiss on my lips before leaving. I stand there in shock holding the door open. 

What the hell was that?!
