Chapter 5

Simon was surprised by Tinka asking that. "Maybe... I don't have a lover so I don't know if I would or wouldn't..." Tinka nodded. "Alright" Simon shifted a bit. "But since we are somehow on the topic of lovers- do you have one?" Tinka shook his head. "No, and like I said earlier, you and Leo are my first friends I have made since I was in jail" Simon nodded. "Okay... have you ever had a lover?"  Simon slightly tilted his head "No" Simon was surprised. "O-oh"

"You?" Simon slightly smiled. "Just 2... one was for a year and the other was for 3 years..." Tinka nodded. "So I can safely assume you have had your first kiss already?" Simon blushed a bit. Why is he asking this?... Simon shifted a bit. "Yes... I have. have you?" Simon slightly tilted his head. "Yes"

Simon was surprised since Tinka said he never had a lover but also not surprised. "Oh... but you said you have never had a lover..." Simon slightly tilted his head. "Since when did you need to kiss a lover for it to be your first kiss?" Simon blushed a bit. "O-oh, never! I was just a bit confused.." Tinka nodded. "All is alright" Simon nodded. "Who was your first kiss with?" 

"Someone I knew where I lived before going to jail" Simon nodded. "How old were you when you went to jail?..." Simon slightly tilted his head. "17, almost 18" Simon was surprised. "Oh- how old were you when  you had your first kiss?" Simon slightly tilted his head, again. "I think I was around 13 or 24" Simon nodded. "Ok"

"You? person and age?" Simon smiled a bit. "Ah, my first lover, I was 14" Tinka nodded. "How long have you been single?" Simon shifted a bit. "Uh... hm... 4 years..." Tinka nodded. "Alright" Tinka looked at the time again then back at Simon. Simon was a bit confused. "Want to watch a movie?"

"Uh, sure?" Tinka nodded and grabbed the remote for his tv. Simon now realized that Tinka was still sitting on his legs. Tinka turned his tv on and gave Simon the remote. "Pick something" Simon nodded. "Okay... can you move off my legs-?" Tinka kinda stood up and Simon moved his legs closer to himself, Tinka sat back down. Simon found a movie and put it on.

*******

The movie is over now and Tinka looked over at the time. "It's 6... 4 hours" Tinka looked at Simon. "Oh, I should probably head home soon..." Tinka got a bit sad. "Why so soon?" Simon looked at Tinka. "You can see me at work-" Tinka slightly nodded. "I'm fully aware of that but during that time we can't exactly talk to each other due to our work" Simon nodded. "Yeah... but I need to feed my dog..."

"Oh, you have a dog?" Simon nodded. "Yeah, he's a pitbull" Tinka slightly nodded. "Age?" Simon smiled a bit. "2 years, got him when he was 9 weeks old" Tinka nodded. "Have you ever had any pets?" Simon slightly tilted his head. "A cat when I was younger, he's most likely dead now..."

"Oh..." Simon was surprised at how easily Tinka could talk about death, then remembered Tinka's crimes and got a bit uneasy. "What kind of cat was he?" Simon tilted his head. "F1 savanna cat... I have pictures of him if you would like to see" Simon was surprised since he doesn't know what a F1 savanna cat is but he nodded. Tinka took out his phone and opened up his gallery app Simon looked over and saw pictures of Tinka with other people who Simon assumed were his family and friends. Simon also saw a lot of one dude in particular who looked a lot like Tinka but also different. Tinka got to the pictures of his cat and opened one, he gave his phone to Simon.

"That's Saxe... he liked me the most, my other brother the second... hated my mother... it makes sense why-" Simon was barely listening to Tinka since he was lost looking at Sake, in the picture he is laying on Tinka's chest and is taking up all of his chest since Saxe is sprawled out laying on his side while Tinka is on his back, Simon could also see that Saxe had a silver coat with bits of gold at the ends when he zoomed in to look at Saxe better, he also noticed that Saxe had black and grayish spots. both Saxe and Tinka were asleep in the picture. Simon didn't even notice that Tinka moved closer to him until he talked.

"I was 17 here... almost 7'2 and Saxe is 10" Simon nodded. "He's really pretty..." Tinka laughed a bit. "Yeah... Saxe might still be alive...his breed of cat typically lives from 12 to 20 years... that picture is only 7 years old... he would reach 20 in 3 years..." Simon nodded. "That's cool, who took the picture? you both seem asleep here-" Tinka laughed a bit. "My brother, he woke me up after taking the picture then randomly sent it to me during lunch" Simon nodded, "Do you have any where I can see Saxe's eye color?..."

Tinka smiled and took his phone back, he started looking through his pictures again, he found one where a dude was holding Saxe. Tinka gave his phone back to Simon and he looked at it. Simon realized that the dude holding Saxe was the guy that looked a lot like Tinka and that Saxe was reaching one paw out to the camera while the guy seemed to be kinda laughing. Simon kinda zoomed in on Saxe's eyes and saw that they were hazelish with them having gold, orange, brown, and a bit of green mixed in. Simon glanced at the time on Tinka's phone and was surprised. 

"I need to go... it's 7- I need to feed my dog" Tinka nodded. "May I come with you?" Simon gave Tinka his phone and was surprised. "Uh- sure, come on" Tinka smiled and got up, so did Simon. Tinka quickly went into his room and grabbed the clothes he used for work then went back to Simon, they went out of the apartment and Tinka locked the door, they went to Simon's truck and both got in. Simon drove to his house.
