#five shots

You asked me once if I ever liked you, and I told you, “Remember when we met, seated next to each other on a delayed flight to California. I had a crush on you from the time we sat in our seats?”

“Then why’d you never call me?” He asked, the skin of his lips was fairly purple. 

“Remember, how we shared a cab and your dropped yourself off first because I was hesitant to show you where I was was staying. I spent the whole flight, the delay, the cab ride, thinking, man, this guy’s a real ass. So we pulled up to your apartment and you got out, but not before you smiled at me and wished me good luck. It was so gentle that as you walked to the door you were just another man who’d been stuck on an airplane too long. It meant nothing, it wasn’t coincidence to fate, just butterflies–and I got those flying, anyways. Then the cab pulled away. Of course, I saw you three days later at your brother’s house, as the nanny. That was coincidence and I’ve learned you never throw true coincidence away for a few gambling kisses.”

You looked at me like you do your computer screen, like it’s more than lines of code, and you said, “You speak well. I’ve always liked that about you. You could be reading pi and make numbers sound interesting.”

“I’m sure you could write it better than I said it.”

“To each their own.” He tipped his glass and drank, as did I, only parting my lips to claim my turn. 

I still remember how the metal sounds when the dice pops. I’ll always hear that sound. The die landed on an odd number and I drew from the truth pile of cards we made by hand. “Would you look at that. When you gave me your number did you want me to call you.”

“The card doesn’t stay that!”

We scuffled with the piece of paper, hands grabbing hands, and knees knocking into each other before I slipped the paper down my shirt. “You’ll never know, now answer.”

You dragged your hand over you mouth as you often did. “When I gave it to you, yes. But after I got through my door, no, and I hoped you wouldn’t. I got lost in how you said things. It was only after I left that I remembered you said you were twenty-two, you have two younger brothers, that you studied media writing, and used to write for a comic, and how you hated onions. I got to know you, and I liked you and I hadn’t liked anyone in a long time, not enough to live with. I get to come home to my favorite person every night, how many people get to do that.”

I did this yesterday with red wine. I literally started getting a headache as I was drinking it. I’m not as hardcore as I once was.
