Three to Tango…

Part 1 (continued): And The Chunks Will Fly!

Kyle POV

Eww. This kinda sucks. I know I shouldn't have ordered the chicken, but Cartman loves it! There I go, thinking of him again…I feel really bad though. He was humiliated in front of everyone. Well, so was I… but I wasn't the one who actually threw up… When this is over, I should go see if he's okay. No one seemed to do that. I wonder what Stan's doing about it? I'm not sure. Maybe I should go back and see them…

I walked back to Shakey's after a change and a shower. I was surprised to see Stan sitting there…WITH A GIRL! I wondered who she was, maybe just a random girl who walked in and he just happened to catch her eye? I walked over to the table.

Stan!

Hey Kyle, this is Jen.

Hey Jen.

Hello…?

Kyle.

Oh. Hello Kyle.

Hey, nice to meet you. Anyways, where's Cartman?

He ran out after you left. He seemed upset.

Do you know where he went?

Home probably, or Stark's Pond.

He won't stop looking at Jen. She's not that bad, but she's not my type either. Well, I'm happy for Stan. He's finally gotten over Wendy. I better go find Cartman. He must feel pretty shitty after all that. What if he thinks I hate him?! Oh fuck, I gotta find him right now!

Anyways, I'm gonna go find him. I'll catch you guys later. Nice meeting you Jen!

You too. Hee hee.

Bye Kyle!

Later Stan!

I walked down the long, curvy path towards Stark's Pond. It seemed so long all of a sudden. Maybe I just had a lot to think about. Usually I'd be walking there with a girl or the guys. I looked around, but I didn't see Cartman anywhere. All of a sudden, the bush rustled.

Who's there? Is it you Kyle?

Yes, it's me.

Come here for a minute.

Jeez. I hope that's him. It didn't sound like it. But I better check just to be sure. His voice sounds a little congested. Has he been crying? Oh no, I feel horrible now.

It was Cartman. He was crouched behind the bush. I sat down beside him. He sighed as I spoke.

I'm sorry about what happened. You didn't deserve any of that.

I did! I ate the chicken!

It's okay. It's just chicken! I got it for you anyway.

Really?

Yeah. I knew you liked chicken, especially the skin.

All of a sudden I could feel something come over me… I was falling in love with him! I didn't know what to do about it though…

Hey, hey Kyle…

Oh. What should I do? I have feelings for him. I gotta act fast...

Shh. Don't talk…

I quickly put a finger over his mouth and pulled him a little bit closer.

I'm gonna do it!

K-kyle… what are you-

I did it right then and there. I pressed my lips softly against his. I didn't want to let go either. I kissed him for a little bit longer and then pulled away to see his shocked face. My heartbeat was racing and I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach…

Eric POV

I can't believe he just beat me to the punch. I liked it though. It was warm and delicate. I want him to do it again. I want him to do it a hundred times.

We sat there for a while. I just held him in my arms and looked down at him. He had his head against my chest. I was in my right place.

Hey… I can hear your heartbeat.

Yeah. It's saying your name over and over again. I love you Kyle. You need to know that. I won't tell you now but someday I will. When it's the right time.

We watched the sun go down together. And then we gazed up at the stars. I didn't know anything about that sort of thing, but Kyle did. He showed me all the constellations in view. It was beautiful… but then, his phone rang. I listened to him answer it.

Hello? Oh, hey baby… no, I'm not doing anything important right now. Why? You wanna do something?

Baby! Not doing anything important?! So all of a sudden, I'm not important? And he's gonna leave me… for, whoever that is… Oh, he's hanging up.

Anyways. Where were we?

I didn't want to even talk to him. I got up of the ground and grabbed my jacket.

You know, you're SUCH a jew sometimes.

I ran as fast as I could. Away from Stark's Pond, away from Kyle. I just kept running. He was chasing after me… I was tiring out.

Awww, damn it. He caught up!

What did I do Cartman?

WHO WAS THAT ON THE PHONE JUST NOW KYLE?!

Tears pooled in my eyes, enough to blur my vision of him. I didn't want to look at him anyways.

It was… well. I have a girlfriend Cartman. I thought you knew?

No one ever told me that? Who is she…?

Debbie…

AS IN, the girl who served us at Shakey's, Debbie?

Yea, her. I didn't want to say anything in front of you…

Who gave a shit if he did? The damage would have been done anyways. Why did he even kiss me? God knows. Maybe he just felt bad for me because he knew it was what I wanted? Well, it's no use now…

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyle POV

I can't believe all that just happened. Why did she have to call and ruin it?

Cartman! You made me realize. I don't love Debbie as much as I thought I did. And tonight I showed you that!

I kissed him didn't I? I mean, I haven't been dating Debbie for that long. Maybe a week?

He mocked my voice…

Oooh. I'm Kyleee. I kissed Cartman and cheated on Debbieee. But Debbie doesn't matter… I'm just going out with her because she puts out and it won't make me seem as gayyy.

Oh shit. He's making this harder than it actually is! Should I tell him now? I think I should…

DUDE! I… love you Cartman!

Wha?

I said… I love you…
