9: Trying to make a difference
"I cannot imagine a life in your absence. You are like the breath of air that I need to live, the drop of water in a thirsty desert. I need you like a bird needs the skies to go higher."
Constantine JakeTwo weeks later
"What's cooking?" I ask as I drop my bag and make my way into the kitchen where the heavenly aroma is coming from.
I stop on my tracks as I see an unfamiliar face in the kitchen with Zander and they are both chuckling and talking together while Zander cooks. Their laughter decreases as they see me come closer and I press my lips together as I awkwardly wait for Zander to introduce us and clear the awkward tension building up in the kitchen.
Zander doesn't notice the tension though because that's the kind of person he is, so instead.
"Hey Alex, you're back."

I commend before turning to the carrot, green pepper and egg sauce on the cooker frying."What are you doing in the kitchen Alex?!" Explodes Zander with an unholy curiosity.I glance at him with a raised brow, "This is my house right?""Exactly why

"I thought you'd be with Havana.""You did that on purpose didn't you? Slam the cameras to my face without a heads up!""Z, I?" I start but run out of things to say.His eyes are red and the fury in his eyes I have never seen before, "Everything was going fine with Havana and I, and we were getting to know each other better and then you went up there and told everyone that I'm your twin brother so what do you think me telling Havana that I like her will be for her?""I don't know Z, I honestly didn't think of that aspect."He laughs painfully, "Of course you don't, you never think Ale

I can no longer think of anything but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you. I grasp you, I kiss you, I caress you, a thousand of the most amorous caresses take possession of me.Honore de BalzacHis hands are in his pocket and he has a not so happy look on his face as he demands, "What part of come 'find me' did you not get gatita?""The part where you became a needle in a fucking haystack!" I retort which makes me feel good and want to give myself a high five."Sassy gatita, the needle might be small but a slight pierce will make you bleed."

Richardson"Is there anything to do?" I ask, joining Zander in the kitchen. He seems to be busy with the cleaning of the toaster and microwave."There are a few," he answers, pointing to the dishes in the sink. It is the weekend and Lauren doesn't come on weekends so we do all the work ourselves and so without any sort of complain, I move over and do the work, "I must ask, what happened to you?"I understand his question and so I don't try to act like I don't. "I guess I realise that I have spent the past two years buried in work and let's be honest these are the years that I have to have fun.""What's speaking through you Alex," he grabs me by my shoulder and shakes me violently and if it wasn't Zander shaking me, I would

"We efface an hour by passionate love, without twists, without aftertaste.

I drop my pen and pick up my phone and on it is the name Zack as the caller ID.I smile warmly, pick the call and place the phone to my ear, "Hello Zack."There is a hesitation before he speaks up, "Hey Alex, you okay?""I am okay, but you on the other hand sound like you're not," I state with a curious tone. "Is everything okay Zack?""Yes," there is still a hesitation in his answer and unsureness in his voice. "I wanted to talk to you about last night." He trails off."Okay?" I drag out wanting him to continue.
