“Son, dad and I wanted to talk to you.Despite his even, even affectionate tone, Louis knew that this conversation did not bode well for him. The fork of stewed mushrooms hung halfway to her mouth. Mom cooks delicious, yes ...“Ma, maybe we won’t?” I'll just promise not to kill myself again, and you promise not to put me in hospitals where you think they treat me?— Is it that simple?“No, not just… but I don't know what else to say.Lou sighed. He guessed that a visit to the family nest would not do without a good soul-saving conversation, and certainly - at dinner. God, he's twenty-six, but now he feels like a sixteen-year-old screwed up teenager. He looked at his brother, seeking support, but Tom prudently kept quiet, busy eating. However, he already took all the first fire while he and Kitty flew to Australia, and it was simply impudent to demand more. Looked at my father. John Sparks looked serene. It’s clear that ma is the soloist today, and pa is in the wings when it is necessa
She stands on the bank of the Erwell with her back to him, her arms around her shoulders. Cloudy and gray, the river rolls heavy leaden waves, and the same clouds are dragged across the sky by a sharp, gusty wind. The red strands of her hair, her long bangs flutter as the only bright spot in this colorless landscape.She is wearing a light gray dress. She is cold - the end of October ... why is she dressed like that? He pulls off his jacket and drapes it over her shoulders. The girl turns. She is very calm, almost indifferent. The face is a beautiful mask. She rises on tiptoe, reaches for him… he feels the touch of her lips… His heart beats muffled, heavy, measured, as if a pendulum from an iron core is accelerating in his chest. What will happen when it accelerates? He responds to the kiss, closes his eyes to drown in this wonderful sensation ... Lowering his eyelashes, he sees tiny orange tongues dancing in her pupils, in the very depths.Her teeth bite his lips, the tongue slides i
Well, how? she asks, still breathing heavily. She is taller than usual in heels and looks him straight in the eye. There is so much in this look in the semi-darkness of the club ... or does it seem to Tom ... or do you want it to be so? He is embarrassed. I want to say so much… He would have hugged her, but her brother is nearby, holding her hand. That's stuck ... If only for a second rolled off!— Cool, Keith… Very cool! There are no words - all that is enough for him. But sincerely, there can be no doubt.- Thanks! Wow, I was so worried!- Truth? It was not noticeable.I tried not to show.Lou presses his lips to her cheek. Lightning on the side - camera flash. A fresh photo, food for the fans... Tom now also has his own photos of her singing. Then her brother whispers something in her ear. Kitty laughs, turns her head, kisses his lips. Louis closes his eyes as he answers. Eh, damn...Then some girl grabs Tom by the hand, pretty, however, and asks:- Can I take a picture with you?-
Downtrodden breath, gasps, groans, screams... Goosebumps and cold streams on the back. When they finally run out of steam, melting snow is everywhere, perhaps even in shorts. Disheveled, flushed, laughing. Louis jumps on one leg, trying to shake the mud out of his ear. The whale is on his knees and gasping for air. Her cheeks are glowing, her lips are bright, as if made up. Roswo is covered with snow dust, like a cake with powdered sugar. He shakes himself off and sneezes funny.Tom lies on his back, arms outstretched, a cold mess melting behind his collar. The heart is pounding. It's disgusting, and great, and cleanly shakes out a hangover. He got it more than the rest - these devils united, knocked him to the ground and with four hands stuffed snow by the scruff of the neck. Kitty holds out her hand to him, smiling.Get up, Tommy. You will get sick.“Bastards,” he says with a laugh. He sits down, holding on to her icy wet fingers. She helps him shake out what has not yet melted. Lou
“Shasha walked along the shoshe… Oh, hell, you can break your tongue! How can you pronounce it?- Yes, not Shasha, but Sasha. You can say, you're just a moron ...- You're a moron yourself!How long have you been meeting with her? She already speaks good English, but you can barely babble in Russian, you can’t connect two words. Of course, moron, who else ... I already know more than you!And Tom didn't brag. To be a little closer to Kit, he began to learn Russian. It was not easy, but better than my brother. And Tom was proud of it. In this competition, he clearly won.Instead of snapping, or saying something like - fuck, little one? - Louis made a sad face (Kit said that they both had an innate "puppy" look), and sighed:“Damn, I miss…Tom shifted his posture, spreading his outstretched leg. He shoved the laptop onto the table, pushing his brother's sketches. And decided to ask:“Lou, why don’t you propose marriage to her?”The brother looked at Tom as if he was insane, spat out the
Tom woke up pretty early. The bus rocked smoothly on the move, they are still going. He rolled over onto his back, putting his hands behind his head. Keith... No matter how hard he and his brother try not to make noise, you can't fence off the audio accompaniment of violent sex with curtains... A week... a whole week will have to endure somehow.Suddenly, Tom felt something jump onto his bed. Something like a cat, moving gently and silently. He raised his head, puzzled. Austin stayed at home... there couldn't be any other animals here. He took a closer look and saw - at the feet, in the twilight of the sleeping niche, something swirled like a small gray cloud, like thick smoke from a fire. Strange, but for some reason this did not frighten him, but only surprised him.A puff of smoke began to approach, shimmering in shades of gray and blue, hovering over Tom's stomach. The younger Sparks reached out his hand, for some reason very heavy, as if poured with lead, and tried to touch the a
Hey-ear, about rubber products - I have an idea! Keith giggles and, hugging Tom by the neck, whispers in his ear. As if someone could overhear them. He hasn’t left the kiss yet (even if it’s almost innocent), he’s already shivering, and then her hands on his neck, the scent of her body, a warm whisper… Damn… that’s it, he’s not responsible for himself anymore… Tommy turns his head to catch her lips ... and hears voices near the bus.- This is Lou, he can't come here! And then it will be prematurely delighted.A second - and she is no longer near Tom ... She slipped away to the doors with a flexible catlike movement and blocked her brother's path.- Okay, baby, as you say ... I won’t come in ... then please take it out to me ... - Tom hears snippets of phrases. My heart dances an Irish jig in my chest. He clenched his fists, trying to control himself. What was it? Does Keith not notice anything and behaves with him as with a kind of girlfriend (“her girlfriends” are all male, Lou said
The week spent next to Kit was a mixture of hell and heaven for Tom. And a source of mass of pleasant, funny and funny memories.Keith is at McDonald's, watching the double hamburgers floating past on trays with her round eyes, and says that she might be a vegetarian tonight. And he orders… chicken salad. In her opinion, it's quite vegetarian :)The whale follows his spit flying into the river with a touching look.“Always wanted to spit off the Brooklyn Bridge,” she shares. — Even if the bridge is not the same, but still the feeling is awesome ... Come on, who is next?Keith wipes away a tear when he sees a homeless dog carrying a box in his mouth, begging for change for his master.Kit makes "pappy eyes" *, persuading Lou and Tom to buy her ... a crocodile on a farm in Louisiana. You see, she finds them "terribly cute." Probably, this was the only time when Louis answered her request - no. What prevented her from buying this crocodile herself - God knows ...And Tom also remembered
