Symphony of love.

Untitled Part 3

It was a few weeks later, and Manolo was serving food and drinks to the patrons of the Café Calavera. He sat down some plates of sweet treats, pre-made by Lewis, on the table. "So, that's six Classy red cookies, and two Red Velvet cake milkshakes. Will that be all for you today?" Manolo asked the couple in front of him, fighting to ignore his envy of their love.

"No, this is everything we want." The young male skeleton said. He picked up a cookie and fed it to his girlfriend, who giggled and then did the same for him. Manolo walked over and went over to Manny, letting his smile fall.

"They're so in love it hurts to look at them..." Manolo said softly.

Manny looked at Manolo with a hint of pity in his eyes. "Sorry about that pal... Uh, so... Lewis spent the day with you yesterday, right? What did the two of you do?" Manny asked him to try and change the subject to take Manolo's mind off of his pain.

Manolo smiled a bit. "Well, he helped me clean up my apartment, dragged him to the store, baked treats for me, and... We cuddled for a bit." Manolo blushed a bit at the last bit as he remembered yesterday. Manolo rolled his eyes when he heard Jack gasp softly.

"So are you and Lewis-" Before Jack can finish, Manolo interrupted.

"No, we're not dating. We just... Enjoyed some shared time together." Manolo defented.

"Sounds like a date to me~" Jack sing-songed. Manolo rolled his eyes a bit.

"It wasn't a date. Besides, why would he even want to date me? He's so... Sweet, and adorable. He deserves someone full of love... Not me." Manolo said, his voice becoming sadder and quieter as he spoke.He lightly hugged himself, knowing he had gained some trust issues and a bit of a temper after being murdered by the one he once loved with all his heart. Manny and Jack looked at each other, silently talking to each other about how to help Manolo.

"Manolo, I... Understand your heart still hurts from what Maria did to you, but... Maybe Lewis can help with that. Having a bit of a temper and some trust problems doesn't make you a bad person." Jack patted his shoulder, causing the younger skeleton to sigh.

"If you say so Jack..." Manolo muttered softly. He remembered when he first came to the land of the dead, how he would drink, cry, and then fight with random people.

Manolo hiccuped softly as he took another swig of the whole bottle of tequila. He slammed it down on the table and sobbed. "She killed me! I gave that woman years of my life, I tried so hard! I-I was even gonna FORGIVE her for cheating on me! B-but she just killed me!" He began to sob again, when he felt someone touch his shoulder. He turned around and decked him in the face. "Don't touch me!"

He sighed and rubbed his face to shake off the drunken memory of starting a bar fight here... Again. He sighed and watched Lewis go around taking orders with a warm smile in his eyes. Manolo developed a soft smile as he watched him.

Lewis saw him watching him. He turned to Manolo and waved a bit. He then got back to work, walking over to a dirty table and cleaning it. Manolo watched him with a soft blush, watching as he bent over to better reach the other side of the table. Manolo licked his boney lips as he stared at Lewis's shapely ass. "His figure is great! Nice wide hips, broad shoulders and chest, strong body... Not to mention is sweet, gentle, but no bullshit taking personality, I can't help but wonder what he would be like in bed under someone..." Manolo chuckled softly as he imagined it.

"Well Manolo, I sure boner what you're thinking about! Yohohoho!~" Brook punned softly as he stared at Manolo, who glanced down and blushed brightly at the sight of his own hard-on.
