I hang up the phone and immediately regret what I said. I scramble for the phone again and shakily call him
"Cecil?"
"Yes carlos. I'm sorry."
Click.
I sit on the floor and sob.
—
The buzzer rings.
I open the door, expecting a secret police member.
It's Carlos.
I take a shaky breath.
I don't finish it before he leans in and kisses me.
He breaks it.
"I'm sorry"
"Don't be"
I kiss him again.
I can feel some of my tattoos moving onto his skin.
We pull away for breath.
"Neat"
"Neat" I whisper
"I should probably invite you in"
"Maybe"
"Do you wanna come in? I have pizza."
"Sure, thanks."
We sit on the couch, a few inches apart, silently eating pizza. Nobody does a slice like big Rico's.
"I'm sorry" he muses, staring at the cheese and sauce on his plate, since wheat and wheat by-products are banned after an unfortunate incident with some snakes and lsome malevolent spirits.
"So am I"
"Cecil?"
"Yes?"
"I think I love you"
"I love you too"
Outside the window, a star crashes. Not a singer, or an actor, or a famous person. No. An actual flaming ball of gas.
