COLD REVENGE'S
Part 57's. Single Man's
This handsome Antonio has an incredibly strong pull, with just a knit shirt fitting a regular gray body, almost a dozen women have been smiling at him throughout our dinner.
"Jeez, why don't you just be a movie player." Another one passing by winked at him. She laughs.
"I was never offered, the fact I tried to be a figure, but again I don't like being in front of the camera. But the job now is the ideal of a small one because I idolize the police. Dad's family are cops, so I don't think I enjoy that kind of attention, but this looks like it's enough to help smooth things out with women. He's quite honest, and he's got good pride. That's a plus point.
"That's great, having a proud father. Every kid needs that."
"The Dench you hate has been arrested along with Herron, I saw the news. The big DEA arrest for Captagon, you must be happy to see that reply for them."
"Yes, it's good to see that karma exists."
"You're not going to continue to put his bank data on the investigation?"
"I'm considering it, maybe later. Maybe I'll aim for Cohen, he can't get away without paying anything."
"I have a government friend, you want to work on that? Leave it to me, let me go on with it."
"Later, I was once suspected by him, if now I prank them both they would be suspicious. I'm afraid they'll investigate now, Cohen's still an active cop. Not now..."
"It's up to you."
The conversation went everywhere then. Lots of fun things to talk about. Fun dinner this time.
"Thank you for dinner." I convey my thanks to him..
"Next time we walk again."
"certain." I liked our conversation, I guess. Nothing wrong tonight. I entered the lobby with a small smile.
"Emma." I turned my head, this is a familiar voice but why is he here?
"Colin? You're here?" It turns out that's him. He followed me in the lobby.
"I happen to pass near here. I bought you food." This time he brought me Italian food that he knew I liked.
"thank you. You wanna go up? You've eaten."
"You're back with someone?" He didn't answer my question but instead asked back.
"Someone's taking me to dinner."
"Man?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Ohh, your boyfriend?"
"Not just friends."
"Office friends?" The question increases in detail.
"It was Antonio who helped me blackmail Dench. Have you eaten? Wanna ride?" I finally switched the conversation.
"I thought you hadn't eaten either so I bought two portions."
"Ohh let's go up, it's okay, I can accompany you to eat." I'm okay of course. He let me stay in his apartment for months of course I don't mind if he wants to have dinner while chatting here. Maybe he just wants to talk over dinner.
I'm pulling his hand now. Asked him to follow me. He followed me willingly.
"Don't I bother you."
"You think of me as someone else. I already considered you a brother." He smiled at my words.
I'm glad he came here, but what can I say other than consider him my brother. She already has a lover she loves, I just keep myself from expecting much. Where else can I find someone as good as him. Sometimes I ask why he is so good.
"Wednesday, it's been two days but there's work, just finished tonight. Tomorrow take care of the team here. Thomas is coming tomorrow."
"What's this important until Thomas comes."
"She wants to talk to a top US government official. Maybe take care of the case too, the case is not taken care of by him directly. There's an operations chief, but he says he'll be at our base and have a chat later."
"so."
"There's been a problem lately?"
"No. I've only enjoyed Herron's news lately. Nothing I do about them."
"You're taking your Aunt and Uncle on vacation?"
"Yes I told you the new year I'd take them to London and Paris. Would delight. But it's still a long time..."
"Antonio was going to be your lover?"
"I don't know, maybe... He's pretty good it seems." Why is he asking about Antonio now?
"How's Julie? You guys okay?" He's quiet for a second. A long time later I did not answer, I became curious. "What's wrong? Something happen?"
"He chose someone else." Apparently, he's heartbroken.
"He chose someone else?"
"Yes I guess actually. But that's it." It was so fast, not that they had just become lovers. Why did it break up so soon.
"You've expected it."
"No more talking, we didn't make it." So now he's single. But still the reason he didn't want us to date from the beginning was because we were involved in work, so I guess this time it was the same.
"Maybe you'll meet someone better. Don't think about it too much."
"Yes, you're probably right." He's looking at himself now. Poor as well, it seems that he was expecting that Julie so much. The perfect girl he dreamed of for years.
"So what am I gonna do. You're not trying to take her heart again. Maybe he'll be moved by the seriousness of your efforts."
"No, that's enough, I guess. I've tried so much, the heart problem is hard to reverse."
"Patience, you'll get in return. Eat a lot, heal a heartache is eat." She laughs.
"That seems to be your formula."
"Yes, I like to spend ice cream in the refrigerator and afterwards regret if I'm in a bad mood finally I added badmood. So now that I don't have any more ice cream, I avoid buying one liter of ice cream. There's only 100 grams." I laugh. "You want to..." I go to the fridge and get my ice cream stock out.
"Do you have a lot of good food stock?" He took the ice cream I offered quickly.
"There's blueberry cheesecake, chocolate too. I only eat one slice a day. I gave you one too." He took that too.
"I'm not going to starve to be stranded here. It's not wrong for me to come here for dinner."
"Come if you want. But if you come too often I'll charge you back for wasting my food stock."
"You can collect it. I'll pay you."
I grimaced. Where could I charge him. I'm glad he came here. Now that Julie's gone, has she ever considered us?
But why is he happy here.
Maybe we have a chance up front.
I was too afraid to hope. I'll be crying and clapping my hands again.
