? Arsonist lullaby ?

we did not talk much until we got inside BurgerKing, it was almost empty so it was easy to choose where to sit

- what will you want May?

- mmm I think a Rodeo Burger you?

- Maybe a Chrispy Chiken, sit down and I bring the food

- oh sure...I said taking some money out of the wallet

- oh do not worry I invite! he said, his eyes narrowing as he smiled cordially and blushing a bit

I could not help but smile as I walked away to find a table, it took only a few seconds until He arrived, and when I saw him walk I noticed that the beauty he had was not only internal

- Woah, this looks delicious!

- Because it is, I love hamburgers

- Well ...

- The junk food!

when we realized that we said it at the same time we both laughed, but not uncomfortably, but on the contrary, it seemed as if we had met years ago

- And .. Well, tell me a little about you Ash, I do not know, do you have any other hobbies besides drawing? Maybe sing

- Oh no, do not want to hear me sing, I hear like an out of tune flute

I could not hold back my laughter and I laughed until my stomach hurt

- Oh god! I said while recovering the air

- well in fact I like to do Crossfit or going to do weights to the gym, mostly sports

- oh I used to be good playing Volley but as a kid I broke my wrist and I never played again

- oh I'm so sorry

- no need to worry, my friends said it was good but ... being honest I have butter hands and I could never throw well

He laughed while I take mi hamburger to take a bite

- uhmmmm this is delicious, I was craving one of these long ago

- same me I was bored with my uncle's chicken soup

- Oh! you live with your uncle!

- Yeah, well ... Suddenly Asher's expression changed, a mixture between nostalgia and fury filled his face, I should not ask

- Gosh, I ... I should not ...

- It's okay, well sure you know, almost the whole institute knows ehmm ... I was in the reformatory ...

soon asher I stopped having eye contact with me, just looked at the ground as if sorry for his reality

- my father entered the jail for possession of drugs and my mother ... she, she always cries at night when she comes from the restaurant where she works ...

- Asher I ...
- No, do not apologize ... he said while a tear rolled down her cheek

- Asher look at me

I said drying his cheek with the my hand

- You are not you alone okay? you will always have me, I will always be here to support you ... I understand you, I know how you feel, how you know that you have everyone on your side, but you never stop feeling alone, I know it hurts, but it is better to overcome this together ...

for the first time I felt that someone in this world understood me, and now I understood him, for the first time I felt ... accompanied

- thanks May...

He take my icy hand to warm it with his

- you know u also have me...

There was a deep silence once at his car, but then we finally arrive home

- well uhmm... Th- Thanks for this beautiful night Asher. I said hugging him not wanting to leave

- Thanks you

He said whispering to the ear, but when we separated we both stopped with a finger between our mouths, while Asher's hand removed a strand of unruly hair that had fallen on my face, posing his hand on my neck , his lips called me with desire, but I was not going to kiss him on the first date so I lowered my head and I took his hands to impregnate myself in his heat, my body shuddered when I felt his lips resting on my forehead

- Goodbye Asher, it was a beautiful night

- goodbye May, sleep well

Once out of his Jeep but before entering home I could hear him scream my name

- are you free on Thursday at 5?

a known mixture of emotions loomed over my chest, the same mixture that the fire made me feel

- yeah i think so!

- Ok then, see u on Thursday! said smiling as he walked away to get lost on the road.

when I opened my apartment I could not help but smile remembering tonight, trying to feel his mouth on my forehead and fingers entwined with mine .. thinking about the second appointment
