Saturday night, and we find Eros in a club kissing Gemmy
The music was kinda loud , so they had to yell to each other.
"Um don't you think we should go somewhere more private?"
"We can't go to my place, my roommate is going to be there"
"Is she as hot as you?"
"Ha Ha funny! She is as hot as me, but don't turn me off now OK?"
"Let's go to my place then"
They walked to his car and drove to his place. They didn't even care to turn on the lights. Only the lights from the pool where making the room a bit brighter.
"I really want you, baby"
"I want you too, stud"
"Can I have your roommate as well?"
"Shut up"
Firefighter Gemmy was the first one that spend the night in Eros' Place. She seemed to know this game pretty well, and, boy, she could play with fire. In fact Eros thought she was the fire herself. Could he play with fire?
"Crap! I'm late! I've never overslept before! Aren't you supposed to be in Payn now?"
"Slow down. It's Sunday. I do not work on Sundays"
"But I thought you were blabbing something about going to the base today, or was it the booze?"
"I have to go to the base to pick up something. It's my sons birthday today and I thought to give something that has something that has to do with daddy's job"
"You have a son?"
"Two of 'em. But I don't get to see them that much. Only on special occasions"
"So young and divorced already?"
"You are new to Longview, aren't you?It's a longer story than that, but since you are on a rush we'll talk about it some other time"
"Um , sure, got to run now...Kiss goodbye?"
And then she run off...But Eros did not have a number, or a last name.He run outside to ask her but she was already gone. How on earth would he contact her again? Well Longview was not that big, she would come to find him anyway, they all do...Wait a minute...Was Eros mind thinking all these? He wasn't the kind of guy that would worry if he ever saw a girl again...Was he getting soft?
Well after last years incident with Pary, he sure liked the independence Gemmy gave him, but was it independence or he had just been used???
As he drove to the base, he kept thinking about Pary, who lately started trying to contact him again, and Gemmy that left without leaving any trace behind.
As he walked in to the base, he found a weird, rather hot girl, wandering around
"Excuse me, this is a restricted area, how did you get in?"
"Hi , I'm Scarlett, you are..?"
"I am Eros Amore, I work here"
"Nice to meet you Eros, can you help me get in? A guy named Gus won't let me in"
"Why do you want to get in?It's a military base, you can't just barge in"
"I know that but i want to see the Blibbering Humdingers and the Umgubular Slashkilters you guys are bringing here from space. I want to take a picture of them"
"The what?"
"The creatures you bring here from the space!I want to take a picture of them to prove to my roommate that they really exist!"
"We bring creatures here from space?"
"C'mon don't give me that story too. I know you've been keeping alien animals here"
"We do?"
"Of course you do!"
Eros was looking at her completely dazed. Such a beautiful girl and so completely insane!
"Look, I can't get you in right now. Give me your phone number and I'll call you later today. I'll find a way to get you in later"
"Sure!Thanks a lot Eros!"
Later that day, he called Scarlett and invited her over. She accepted and in no time she was ringing his doorbell.
They chatted a while , especially about the whereabouts and habits of the Blibbering Humdingers and the Umgubular Slashkilters, until she jumped up of her seat and pointed at the guitar.
"You can play???!!!"
"Um... yes"
"Awesome!!! Play something for me!"
She was looking at him with such excitement, that he couldn't find the courage to refuse.
As he was playing the phone rung.Eros picked it up and knew exactly what was expecting him
"You are still home? Seriously? You totally forgot about it, didn't you?"
"No, Auntie, I was busy ...You actually caught me while I was leaving to come there"
"I know your business Eros, Regina was so right about this, get your butt here now!"
"Crap, I've got to go"
"But I just got here!You can't just leave me all alone here! It's rude!"
Eros was not planning to leave Scarlett in his place of course, but he was sure that if he tried to ask her to go, she might start talking about weird creatures again or ask him to play the violin or something. She might be insane but she was fun, looked quite harmless and well she was hot.
"You'll come along"
"Cool! Where are we going?"
"My sons birthday party"
"A party?? Awesome I love parties! But I'm not dressed properly! Do you happen to have a gown?"
Eros looked at her for a moment, completely flabbergasted, and after a few seconds looking at her with his jaw dropped , he finally snapped back to reality.
"No dear, it's a themed party, the theme is ..um..."come as you like"... OK?"
"Perfect! I'll go home and get my butterfly costume then"
"We are already very very late, so leave your butterfly costume for another time OK?"
"OK"
Being proud of himself, that he finally managed to reason with Scarlett, he led her to his car and drove off. Since the boys where brothers and their birthday was a week away. Auntie had told Eros that she would hold the party for both of the boys at the same day so he could have a chance to see Cedric as well. So there was a surprise waiting for him in Aunties place, that he did not expect,and with Scarlett's blabbing he did not really had time to thing about it. Regina.
"Oh , it's you"
"Hey Regina"
"You finally decided to show up? And how nice of you to bring company along. Auntie is going to be so happy about this"
Scarlett was waving frantically left and right, and jumping up and down in excitement
"Of course you didn't expect us to wait for you? The boys have already blown the candles and are almost ready for bed.Go and kiss them goodnight, and after that Auntie is waiting for you in the back yard.I'll let her know you are here and that you have also brought a maniac in the house"
Scarlett has already left his side, and was chatting with some guests, who looked bewildered and freaked out. Eros grabbed her arm and pulled her with him blurting a quick and low "I'm sorry" to the guests she has been talking to, and led her upstairs.
"Where are we going?"
"I'll introduce you to my sons"
"Why aren't they attending their own party?"
"Because they are almost sleeping"
"They are sleeping? I never sleep when I have a party! It's rude! Only if....Hey! You never told me it was a slumber party! Was that your wife down there? I'll ask her if she has an extra set of pyjamas to lend me!"
"Just stand here and wait for me. Do not go talking to anyone, OK?"
"OK"
Eros entered the nursery and was astonished to see two identical little boys staring at him. It's been a while since he last saw them, but he hadn't noticed before how much they looked like him. The only way he could tell them apart was their eyes. Dewayne had his mothers eyes, while Cedric had Eros's.
He first approached Dewayne's crib.
"Hello big boy, daddy is here. Happy birthday"
He pulled a toy rocket out of the bag he was carrying and gave it to the child, who was looking at him curiously
"Dadda?"
"Yes it's daddy, sweety. Sweet dreams"
He kissed Dewayne on the forehead and moved to Cedric's crib
"Hey there player, what's up? Daddy got you a birthday present too! Look!"
And another toy rocket came out of "nowhere"as probably Cedric thought, as he was looking at it completely lost
"Woket poof?"
"It's a rocket , yes! Goodnight to you too big guy"
He kissed Cedric on the forehead too and turned around to leave the room. He found Scarlett staring at him with the most amazing gaze. She looked so normal.
"That was the sweetest thing I've ever seen" she said
He had reached too close to her. They where looking in each others eyes for a few seconds. She pulled her hand and stroked his cheek, he could feel her soft lips pressing against his, and the time had stopped. He could feel every inch of her body pressing against him when he heard a voice behind them landing him back to reality
"You should be ashamed of yourselves!" They have been seen....
"I cannot believe you! Not only you forget about it, not only you arrive late once again, but you go and bring a nutshell in here that terrorises my guests , talking about Blibbering Slashsomethings or whatever they are called, and go making out with her right in the boys face! And you even let Writing Reg see you!Thankfully she is a very dignified lady that won't go blabbing about it to anyone, and came straight to me!You are so unreliable Eros! I should have listened to Regina, and not invite you. You don't care anyway"
"I'm sorry"
"That's all you have to say? You are sorry? I'm sorry I've ever met you! Just take your "date" and leave, OK? Just go!"
Eros did not even try to defend himself. He grabbed Scarlett , who was staring emotionless to a shrub, and got in the car. Auntie's words were harsh and partially true. He was unreliable. A bad father. He knew that. That's why he didn't want to have children anyway.Not because he didn't like children, but because he never learned to support them. But he did care. Even if Auntie and Regina did not believe it, he loved his sons and really cared about them. He just had no idea how to show it to them.
Neither he or Scarlett talked in their way back to his place. Like if she knew he wanted her to pretend she didn't exist for a while.
When they arrived to his house, Scarlett silently followed him upstairs. She kissed him tenderly and slowly they started undressing each other. They where not speaking at all, and their lips only moved to meet the other's ones
It was Eros who first spoke after at least two hours
"Thank you"
"For what?"
"For being quiet when I needed it"
"People might thing I'm crazy , but I know when to shut up"
"I really like you, Scarlett"
"What?"
"I like you, you are fun, in your own unique way of course , and supportive"
"Woa there big guy! you have to be kidding me!"
She got up and put her clothes on.
"I have to go. I need to go to the forest before 5am to find some Nargles. And i think you should get some sleep too. You don't want to fall asleep in the tank with the Umgubular Slashkilters, they'll suck your liver through your nostrils in no time!"
Eros bit his lip trying not to burst out laughing. She sure had a way to cheer him up.
"I just thought ,maybe you want to hang out more often." He said to her almost laughing,and completely certain she wouldn't refuse
"You are a good, attractive guy and all but you've got some issues and i'm not sticking around to deal with them"
She picked up her shoes, that Eros just noticed looked like honeybees, put a rugby helmet on and left.
The music was kinda loud , so they had to yell to each other.
"Um don't you think we should go somewhere more private?"
"We can't go to my place, my roommate is going to be there"
"Is she as hot as you?"
"Ha Ha funny! She is as hot as me, but don't turn me off now OK?"

Hee hee. What a funny little man-whore. Eros had been very very busy polinating all the lovely Longview flowers! I LOVE the pool pergola! That looks so inviting!
ReplyDeleteLOL Ruth
ReplyDeleteHe is not that bad, you know. He does have feelings.Deep inside that is. But he never learned to handle or express them, as he was never loved as a child. He was only an investment for his father and nothing more.
Poor Eros, he DOES have issues. I can understand. I had to read many books and take a parenting class and ask questions and watch mothers on tv I admired, so I could be a proper mother. If your parents are messed up and mess you up, too, you don't just automatically know how to relate to people properly. You have to study it. I look forward to seeing if Eros ever finds out how to express himself in a way other than sleeping with a series of women.
ReplyDeleteFirefighter Gemmy is very mysterious and interesting. I wonder if we will see her again.
I just noticed the reaction feature on the blog. I will go back and post the reactions.
