Mo stood there with his arms crossed. Waiting for his other half to get home was agonizing. He wasn't sure on whether or not he was angry or just confused. His hands ran over his hand as he paced through the kitchen. Seconds seemed like minutes and minutes seemed like hours. What was he going to say to Glitch when he got there?
The longer Mo thought about it the angrier he got with the situation. He began fuming and when he heard a car pull up, he slowly opened the door. He watched as a guilty looking Glitch walk up the steps with the Lu$hcrew. Angel and Aubrey didn't say anything at first until Aubrey couldn't stand the silence anymore.
"Hun I'm sorry about this. If you need anything just give me a call." She hugged Mo, going back to the car with Angel right behind her. They watched as Mo escorted Glitch in and shut the door. Angel turned the red head beauty as she started up the vehicle.
"I saw him crying….. Earlier." He didn't say anything else after that and Aubrey sighed. She drove away from the house in silence. Angel didn't try to talk to her nor did he continue the subject. Their date was ruined and Angel felt a little peeved. It just wasn't their night he guessed.
When Aubrey dropped Angel off at his place, she followed him to the door. "Angel, about tonight..."
"Mi hermosa riena, I'm not angry about that at all. It sucks but maybe another time." Angel held his arms out for hug but instead of getting a hug in return Aubrey kissed him. They seemed almost frozen and the kiss seemed to last too short for the both of them. Aubrey left Angel with a final goodbye kiss. When she got into the car, she rested her head against the steering wheel, sighing.
"Glitch."
Glitch and Mo stood on opposite sides of the living room. Mo held a pack of cigarettes in one hand and the other was a phone. Glitch's face was red and panted softly, exhausted from all the breathing. Ever since he got home there was none stop yelling. Mo was frustrated and he wanted nothing to do with Glitch at the moment. Glitch spent most of the time trying to convince Mo not to call his parents.
Mo locked eyes with the teen. He wasn't sure what to do anymore and he felt like the only thing left was to threaten Glitch with a phone call to his parents. After a few seconds of silence and staring Mo finally calmed down enough to speak. "Glitch just please go to your room."
Glitch didn't run, but he didn't walk either. Each step he took felt heavier and heavier and when he closed his door he fell to the ground crying. He cried tears of frustration, confusion, and for a love that would never be answered.
Mo threw the pack cigarettes away and tossed the phone to the side. He knew something was wrong, but he never expected this. Mo wanted answers, but he knew he was not in the mental state to ask them. He sat there in agonizing silence that clawed at his mind for hours. He rubbed his eyes and looked over at the clock.
11:34 PM. Would Glitch even be awake at this time?
Mo sat up, taking deep breaths of air. His heart raced in his chest, thudding loudly against his ears. Mo climbed the stairs, thinking of what he would say to Glitch. Upon reaching the door Mo began to have second thoughts, but he didn't stop. He was going to talk to Glitch. They were going to have this discussion. No yelling, just talking.
Mo didn't knock, and he gave no warning when he walked in. He watched Glitch's head raise from the curled position he was in. Glitch's eyes were red and puffy from crying from not too long ago. Mo took his place next to him on the bed.
"Glitch….Jordan, can you tell me why?" Mo asked as calmly as he could.
Glitch seemed to take his time with answering. Letting the question linger in the air for a few seconds longer before answering. "At first it was curiosity, but then it helped clear my head." Glitch's voice was a little shaky and soft at first. "I couldn't stop thinking and it just kind of cleared my head of all these thoughts lately. Mo I didn't mean to…..to cause trouble." Glitch adjusted himself so he was sitting next to Mo, resting his hands in his lap.
"You should've told me you were having problems. I could've helped." Mo replied feeling his anger rising again. "I'm here for you. Don't you know that?" Mo questioned.
There wasn't an answer. Glitch turned his head away instead. "But what if you were the reason why?" Glitch whispered, his face beginning to heat up. Mo barely heard the question and when he pieced it together he didn't feel angry anymore.
"Why?" Mo asked as he began to count slowly in his head. He didn't want to cause Glitch pain. He didn't want to be that guy, but he was.
"I'm gonna tell you, but when I do….You won't want me here anymore." Glitch paused turning his body enough so he was facing Mo now. "I was confused at first, and I tried ignoring it. It was hard though and spending all that time with you, I…I couldn't believe that I didn't notice it." Glitch's eyes seemed lose all doubt when he spoke.
Glitch reached his hand out behind Mo's head. "Mo I really do like you." As if the last word was the magic one, Glitch clashed their mouths together.
This was truly the end for them, he thought.
So Mi Hermosa riena means My beautiful Queen, if you were wondering at all. Ciao.
