Celestia
"Ciao" I smile as I walk through the front door with Hades and Zeus, just back from our walk
"Ciao bambina" Alonso comes over to me as the dogs run to the water bowl
It's a Saturday, mid-morning, and my dear
46-year-old godfather is eating a chunk of carrot, wearing basketball shorts and one of my oversized t-shirts that has a picture of Tupac on the back
I sigh "Alonso, you need a girlfriend"
"What? Me? No, I don't" he crosses his arms
"Yes, yes you do"
"I'm fine thank you very much" he scowls
"Alonso I love you but people are starting to think that you and my dad are in a gay relationship," I tell him as I put the dog leads on the counter and grab a bottle of water
"No one thinks that" he laughs nervously
"Yes, they do. If you swing that way I would fully support it but if not maybe you should find a nice woman for yourself"
He groans "It's too difficult"
"I am a narcissist, bipolar and go through periods where I have literally no empathy and I've had a boyfriend for nearly 2 months. If I can do it, so can you"
He sighs and nods "Fine"
"Yay!" I clap my hands "I'll help"
I grab a pen and a piece of paper, hop onto the kitchen island and sit cross-legged
"Okay" I clear my throat as he stands in front of me, still eating his carrot
"Age range?"
"Between 30 and 46"
I nod and write it down
"Hair color?"
He thinks for a moment "Any"
I nod again
"Height?"
"Below 5'11"
"Kids? I'm going to go ahead and write a no for that one"
He laughs "I don't care about that"
"Well, I do so..."
He laughs again as he shakes his head
"Likes and dislikes?"
"Has to like dogs and pasta" he starts
"Naturally" I nod as I write it down
"If another person tells me to get an air fryer I will kill myself"
"Okay so has to like dogs and pasta, can't have a thing for air fryers"
"The perfect woman" he smiles as I laugh
"I will find your wife in no time dear godfather of mine" I hop off the counter
"Can't wait" he calls as I skip upstairs
I flop on my bed and stare up at the ceiling
I don't know what to do
I haven't had a day like this in years
One where I have literally nothing to do, no jobs, no meetings, not even any beauty treatments!
I should invite Fifi and Chris over
They've already met twice when we all went to dinner and they got on really well
I text the group chat
'Hey sleep over tonight?'
Almost immediately they both reply
