The Last Fall

TONY's POINT OF VIEW

"So, can you come in?" Carmen asked me as we stood at her front door after yet another date that we had tonight.

"Uhm, I actually can't. My oldest is at home watching my middle child...they don't mix well. I might wanna get back before I come home and find either one of them locked out of the house." I said as I lightly laughed and smiled at her. She laughed as we as she grabbed one of my hands and held it.

"Just for five minutes?" She then asked as she poked her bottom lip out some and then lightly kissed my lips.

"Carmen..." I said as I broke the kiss and laughed. "I can't. I'm sorry." I told her as I then softly touched her chin.

"I understand. Worth a try." She said as her smiled softly faded.

"What were we even gonna do in just 5 minutes. Talk about whatever?" I asked her.

"Tony, Tony, Tony...we could do a lot in just 5 minutes..." Carmen said as she looked at me, raised her eyebrow and then pulled her key out to open her door.

"I see..." I said as I took a small glimpse at her ass and then watched her open the door. She then walked inside.

"Give me another kiss at least?" She asked as she stood there and smiled at me.

"I can do that." I said as I took a step forward and placed my lips against hers. She touched the side of my face and our lips simply, softly connected fully together. Sweet- yet, very simple and full of evidence that delivered me into wanting more. However; I can't. "Alright, Carmen. I'll see you soon. Have a good night sleep." I said as I broke the kiss and stepped back.

"Again....call me your baby. You call me Carmen as if this is our first date. It's been a while Tony and you and I have both seen an entirely different and uncovered side of each other once before."

"I know. I'm sorry, baby. From now on, that's what I'll call you." I said as I started to walk towards my car.

"That makes me feel better." She said as she raised her voice a little bit and then closed the door.

I got into the car and shook my head as a small smile grew on my face.

That smile then vanished just a little bit as I pulled out my phone and read a text message from Ciyle saying that Cai has once again locked him out of the house in the dark.

I sighed heavily and rushed to get home.

"What the hell is going on now? I can't leave the two of you at home for 3 damn hours without something happening. Why is your ass out here?!" I asked Ciyle as I walked towards him where he was sitting on the front steps in front of the door.

"I didn't do anything! She's the one who's always acting retarded and locking people out of the house! I just went upstairs to ask her a simple question and she kicked me out!" Ciyle said as he stood up and looked at me.

"I don't care if you didn't do anything at all. No more games for a while." I told him as I tried to find my key for the front door.
