Eddie wondered what was up with the picture, even as he took it, looking over Aaron's phone a bit as he did so. It had been a while since he used on of these, but then he couldn't say much. He had just upgraded his phone from the first Nokia, yes, that old blue one with the green screen and
Snake as one of the games, a few weeks ago. It wasn't anything fancy, just a keyboard phone, so that he could text a bit more. He liked to talk one on one in person more than anything, and talking on the phone was a close second, but texting was good when he needed to be more under the radar. And with Aaron. He would use anything to talk to Aaron. He smirked at Aaron's pose, but took the picture, and have it back. "
I say let's go to my place. I'll call in some food. You eat Greek?"Eddie replied quickly as he stood up, and started to stretch. "
Maybe we can catch a Yankees game, too," he went on, looking at Aaron's clothes, though his voice showed he meant it in good fun.
After I was cleaned and changed for the day, and feeling much better after taking my medication, and a glass of orange juice, I sat in the chair with a sigh. Aaron had already walked the dog and feed everything, and we didn't need anything. He really was trying to keep me from having to leave and do anything. I picked up my phone, and swiped the screen to unlock it, seeing it was a text from Aaron. As the picture and the caption, I couldn't help but giggle to myself. I couldn't believe he did that to me, and with
that outfit on to top it off. I closed my eyes, thinking over him. Picturing his body. We couldn't avoid the subject of what happened forever. I forgave him. I still trusted him, but, I still wanted to talk it all through. I sighed to myself, and turned on the radio after I hooked up the contention with the film crew. They were still getting ready, so I pulled out a book I hadn't read in a few months -
The Vampire Lestat, and waited for them to ready. I stopped, and leaned back as the CD player started to play a new song. I felt my mind wonder, as
Don't Wanna Miss a Thing by Aerosmith started to play, a sudden depression coming over me as it did. It was that one song that always, no matter what, made me happy and sad at the exact same time, and right now all I could think about was Aaron. It's funny how sometimes you'll hear a song, and think one thing, but after something happens, you'll think something complacently different. I remember when I first heard this song, when I was a kid, and all I could think, even then, was that I hoped someday, someone I loved would understand this song, and maybe one day it could be our song. I found it childish now, even as every word made me glance at the bedroom, regretting that I couldn't tell Aaron to be safe this morning. The last thing I said was "Yeah". What does that mean anyway? I took out my phone, and looked at it again, feeling it shake in my hand. It wasn't the same but...
Be safe. I love you, Aaron. I smiled, then hit send. Even if he didn't see it until tonight, at least it would be waiting for him.
