Voice mail

{L.S A.U}

I have never been a person that enjoys cooking, I usually just order chinese food or pizza, mostly pizza. Today when I came home from work I couldn't stand the thought of eating pizza for the third time this week, so I decided to give the cooking a try.

I mean, I'm sure is not that hard.

The only thing I had on my dispense was pasta and canned sauce, this would be it. I set the water for the spaghetti and wait for it to boil, the box says I have to wait for seven minutes. So far cooking is very simple. In the meantime I decide to play that dots game in my phone, I'm so hooked. Soon enough I hear the water boiling and I insert the pasta, using a fork to make it fit in the pot. Now, I have to wait for ten minutes until it cooks. Easy.

The canned sauce says it has to be heated before served, preferably in a pan with a bit of butter. This should be quick.

I open the can putting it in a pan and adding a spoon full of butter, placing it on the fire. With a wooden spoon I start to mix the sauce at the same time I move the pasta with my other hand. The phone starts ringing just when my hands are full.
Who could it be? -I wonder.
No one calls me on my home phone unless its from work or the bank.

It keeps ringing but I realize if it's something important they would as well call me to my mobile or just leave a voice mail. I keep moving the sauce until the butter dissolves, the call goes to voice mail and is when I hear a loud sigh, my head realizing it comes from the phone box, it went to voice mail.

"...Hey, um... I'm... I'm Harry. I shouldn't be calling you but here I am." The person makes a pause. A man, of that I'm sure. He has a deep raspy slow voice that makes it impossible for me to not give it attention. "I know you're mad at me after everything that happened. But... Please try to understand. I didn't..." He sighs again, I found myself standing in front of the phone. I'm sure I don't know this person, I would remember his voice. "...I didn't mean to hurt you." He makes another pause. I didn't realize my bottom lip was in between my teeth. What a beautiful voice, even when its saying such heartbreaking things. "If you want to call me, or... Just meet again, I will be in BShop tomorrow at five..." He sighs, even when I don't know this person I can feel the hurt in his voice, it makes me hurt as well. "I will be waiting for you."

That's the last thing he said, right before the line went dead. Instantly a red light appears on my phone indicating I have a voice message, with a shaky index finger I press the button, replaying the message.

"...Hey, um, I'm... I'm Harry... I shouldn't be calling you..." I listen again, my eyes totally focused on the phone and at the way his voice makes my ear tingle, this has never happened before.

Its shorter than I thought because sooner that I wanted I hear his last sentence.

"I will be in Bshop tomorrow at five... I will be waiting for you."

I hold the phone in my hands, sliding down the wall and pressing the replay button, hearing his voice again. Such an unique voice. How is it so raspy and slow? Does he have a sore throat? And why is he going to Bshop? That's a very known LGBT friendly coffee shop downtown, great tea by the way. Whithout controlling myself I press replay again.

"... Hey, um... I'm... I'm Harry..."

Who are you Harry? And why do you have the sexiest voice I have ever heard?

Not even the power of this stranger's voice can hide the smell of burned sauce and overcooked pasta, when I move my eyes up from the phone there's a lot of smoke coming out of the kitchen. Shit.

Leaving the phone on the table I run to the kitchen turning off the stoves, cursing loudly at myself. That's why I don't cook, I can't even make pasta.

Throwing the sauce and the pasta away I decide to order pizza, for the third time this week. When I walk back to the phone the red light is still on, I press it again not waiting to hear that voice again.

I don't care if I don't know him, but I can't help myself but wonder how is this man, to imagine his face and body. Such a sexy voice sure has a great owner too. My skin feels warm and my entire body is relaxed just by listening to his voice whispering words that have
no meaning to me, but somehow they make me shiver.

I need to find out who he is.

And I will.
