Espejos

Their gazes locked, with Eugenio’s hand still on his chin. Then, without warning, they both inched closer and closer, until their lips finally touched. It was a small, simple kiss, but still full of passion and excitement. Both wanted it to continue, but they also knew they had plenty of time to take things further.


“Wow, that was nice,” Carlos said, his tears drying up a bit more.


“Yes, yes it was.” Eugenio replied. “I wouldn’t mind doing that again sometime soon.”


“Well, you know where I live. You could always show up and ask to take me out for a milkshake or something.”


“I can see I’m going to enjoy your company.”


“I’ve often been told I’m a good judge of character. In a way, I know a good guy when I see one. Though we better get back. If I lose this job, I won’t have any money to take you for any type of milkshake.”
