“I’m not telling.”
Bill run out of the room, slamming the door. Tom stayed there shocked. This couldn’t be happening. Had he just kissed his twin brother? Unfortunately he couldn’t lie to himself. He’d done it, and he’d liked it. Inside he felt butterflies fluttering, like never before with any girl. He wasn’t gay, of course, but he felt an extremely hard attraction to his twin. Was he sick or something?
The lights came back. He walked out of the room, searching for Bill. He couldn’t be really far, he wouldn’t have left in pajama. Would he? It seemed that he was wrong, because he looked into every room, every corner, every tiniest place, and he did not find him.
His phone started ringing. He ran upstairs to get it. He looked at the screen. It was Andreas.
“Hallo.”
“Tom, you are gonna tell me right now what you’ve done to Bill.”
“Is he OK? Tell me he’s not crying.”
“No, but it’s not really normal to see him in front of my door only dressed with a pair of pajamas and barefoot. And I can tell by his face that he’s not feeling well at all.”
“I.. please, let me talk to him.” Tom almost whispered when he said this.
He heard some scratching sounds on the other end of the phone line, and the faraway voice of Andreas, telling Bill something, surely.
“What do you want?”
“Billa, please, come back. I’ll do whatever you want, either forget it or keep it on. I just, I’m sorry, Bill, I didn’t mean to hurt you.” He was babbling. Funny, sex god Tom was babbling to his twin brother. In any other situation he would have just rolled his eyes at himself for being so lame.
“Tom…”
“It’s OK, please, just don’t be mad at me.”
“I’m not coming back tonight. And I don’t want it to go on.” His heart hurt, not knowing that Tom’s also was painful for some reason. “just.. forget it. I’ll be back tomorrow, and we can go to the cinema, you know?”
“I hope this means you forgive me.”
“There’s nothing to forgive.” Bill returned the phone to Andreas, who shut it down with a bare “bye”.
Tom went to his bed. He didn’t feel like watching TV anymore. The silver moonlight fell onto his almost naked body when he threw himself over his bed. He stared at it. Bill had said something about black. He felt himself like black now. He’d had the chance to make Bill know how much he loved him, and he screwed it. It could have been white, but it turned out to be black.
Somehow he knew he wouldn’t be able to forget that moment. It burned in his mind, he returned to the second when their lips met and it all felt so beautiful for him. Tom tried to send the image to oblivion, but Bill’s lips were tattooed by fire on his own. He’d fallen in love in just two seconds, he had a chance and he spoiled it, but he still felt the same for his twin. The only thing was that he would never be able again to express it, not even insinuate. It was obvious for him that Bill didn’t feel the same and wanted to forget.
Tom started to cry, taking deep breathes, sighing and sobbing. It hurt so much inside. He didn’t hear the door open.
“Tom, are you ok ?” Simone looked at him with a worried expression.
Tom just led out a painful moan and let his mother embrace him. The pain wouldn’t go, anyway.
“Hush, darling, it’ll be alright. I am here, Gordon is here, and Bill will be by your side too.” Tom cried louder when he heard his brother’s name. “Don’t worry, we’ll never let you down, we won’t let anything to hurt you. Specially Bill. He’d kill himself rather than seeing you like this.”
“Bill is gone.” he said, sobbing.
“Gone? What do you mean?” Simone panicked.
“Yeah, he’s at Andreas for tonight, he won’t stay by me.”
The woman let all the air she’d been holding leave her body in a shaky breath, relieved.
“He will, maybe he doesn’t know you’re not right.”
“He certainly doesn’t.” Tom smiled bitterly.
“Well, then wait till tomorrow, and you’ll both be together again, he’ll take care of you better than me. Now calm down and sleep. I will stay here by you if you want to.”
“Please.”
Simone lay by his son and placed his head onto her chest. She stroked his dreadlocked hair. They both fell asleep like this.
My angel Gabriel.
This story is for Gabriel (Niña). For she stood there when I was talking crap and read my foolish first stories. I’m glad I met you somehow. You feel a friend for me.
The main character in this story is inspired by a friend of mine, but any other characters are created by me.
My angel Gabriel.
She was surely an angel. Any time she laughed…he would just collapse. As some alphaville fan would say “the ringing of her laughter it sounds like a melody”. The last time he saw her was at the airport. She was there, with her hair tied in a ponytail, her lips a bit shinny and swollen. She’d been crying. He could tell by the redness of her eyes, but somehow she still managed to be flawless.
He didn’t want to leave. His heart would stay here, and he wanted his heart next to him, but it will stay anywhere she walks to. They lost in an endless embrace, as far as both knew it could be the last one. He felt the fruity smell of her hair and thought that he’d die if he never smell it again.
My angel Gabriel.
She stood there waiting for the plane to leave. She was crying, but still she kept her smile on. That was her way to make sure that he knew love knows neither boundaries nor distances. It was useless, though. They both knew it was impossible to keep a relationship so far away. That’s why, even though promising love forever and ever, they’d broken up. She wanted him to start a new life, and he wanted her to be happy.
Years went by. She was now a grown ang… woman. She’d finished her studies and was planning to move to France. She had some good friends in Europe. Some Spanish gal and a boy she’d been going out with for a year when she was young. Gabriel thought about it while she looked at the plane tickets she’d bought. Her heart felt odd while thinking about him. She’d loved him so much. Almost a year had to pass by before she could even think of forgetting their love story.
He was staring at somewhere outside the shop. Actually he was absent minded. He felt as though something really important was going to happen.
- There you are.- he said tiredly to an Irish woman who had stopped here to buy some tourist stuff before parting to homeland. It was a very big shop where tourists bought presents for their families when they remembered about it on the very last moment. It was placed in the Paris airport. He loved that shop because he could see people walking down the planes.
All of a sudden he saw something that made him blink. It couldn’t be real, for sure, it had to be unreal, some girl who looked like her. But he couldn’t fail on this. There was that flawless girl he’d left when he was young. She was a bit older, but still an angel. No one could look like her, like his angel Gabriel
- My angel Gabriel… Anne…please, will you take my turn? It’s a matter of love!!
- Sure, go.- She looked at him with the biggest of smiles.
My angel Gabriel.
When their views met again, they felt like petrified. Her eyes welled up. He smiled weirdly. Her tongue was useless, she couldn’t find a word to say. She didn’t feel like talking, though. It would spoil the moment. Somehow they managed to make it through the large crowd and the hugged tighter than ever. Tears fell from their eyes. So many years had gone by and they still loved each other.
- Do you remember?
The sun was setting and they were both sat on the porch of their country house, hands entwined. Their grandchildren played and laughed loud in the garden with the dog.
- Remember what, dear?
- That day, when we met in the airport.
- Dear, that day will stay in my mind forever. It was the best moment of my life up to then. You looked so much like an angel…
- Don’t I?
- You still do. You’ll always be my angel.
- I’m sure then, because you’re good one keeping your promises. You said you’d love me forever and ever, and here you are, keeping it true.
Their hands tightened in their embrace. And they lived happily ever after.
