Past, Present and Future

I Have Messed Up Big Time

Okay, I admit that I screwed up with Eric and Tommy. Paul too. Biting back my pride, I call my little ball of fire and hope he picks up. 

"What?" he snaps. "Calling to apologize?"

"Yes." "Could I come over?"

"I guess. Bring food."

"I will."

At least he's willing to see me, that's a good sign. I head out to the nearest pizza place. While I'm waiting on them, I pop into the store next door and pick up cupcakes, soda and chips. Eric loves junk food.

Thirty minutes later, I'm sitting in Eric's driveway trying to juggle all the food and look for the spare key. Eric comes out to help but refuses to look at me. "You really did bring food."

"I love you and I screwed up big time. I'm sorry." I reply. "Please forgive me."

"Let me eat first and I'll let you know."

I carried the rest of the food in and set it on the table in the kitchen. Eric didn't use plates, just his hands. I follow suit and pick up two pieces of pizza, fold them together and eat them like a sandwich. 

Finally we start talking. I pour out my soul to Eric who in turn does the same. Ending with an "I LOVE YOU" from both sides, I leave happier than I did when I arrived. I kiss Eric with the promise of taking him out on a date tomorrow. I then call Paul and apologize and then do the same to Tommy.
