Mark n Leo (Final stages 1/4) (english)

Mark got up from the sofa, and looked both ways, "where are my clothes", he thought, he searched for them around and nothing... "those wretches" he thought somewhat annoyed, surely his clothes were still at Joe's house.

Mark looked for a phone in the living room and kitchen, but there was nothing, so he decided to go to Noe's room and when he opened the door he found that it was quite simple, a bed, a closet, another door and a small table with the phone. what he needed.

Before going to the phone, Mark saw himself naked, and on his way to the closet, he opened it and saw the dragon's clothes, Noe had told him that he could wear whatever he needed, but wear the clothes of someone he just met It would be awkward, so he closed the door and went to the phone.

"Those bastards, they did it for this purpose, they think I'm an idiot" Mark muttered as he dialed the phone.

"Hello?" answered a familiar voice on the other side.

"Susy, I'm Mark, how are the…" endless shouting made Mark's ear move away from the receiver.

"WHY ARE YOU CALLING, TO TELL ME THAT YOU ALREADY WOKE UP WITH YOUR WHORES!, TO RUB IN MY FACE THAT YOU SLEEP WITH OTHERS, YOU FUCKING PIG, LITTLE MAN, DO NOT THINK I'M GOING TO TOLERATE THIS ANYMORE, FUCK DAMNED BASTARD..." she shouted non-stop Mark's wife.

"DAMN IT, YOU WANT TO CALM THE FUCK! I STAYED AT JOE'S HOUSE, LEO'S CAR BROKE DOWN, OK, YOU DON'T HAVE TO..." Mark replied in the same way.

"YES, YOU THINK I'M YOUR ASSHOLE! NO STUPID, GO SEE YOUR MOTHER'S ASSHOLE FACE, YOU AND THAT DONKEY OF SHIT, THINK I'M AN IDIOT BECAUSE I..." Susana's voice was cut off as Mark slammed down the phone.

"Damn stupid!" he said as he dialed again.

"Yeah!" answered a male voice.

"DAMN JOE, WHY DID YOU NOT LET ME MY CLOTHES, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!" said Mark angrily.

"Hey hey, calm down friend, yesterday we were drunk, as soon as we left you everyone stayed to sleep at Noe's house, if you had woken up you would have found us all there" replied the bear.

Mark just huffed into the phone.

"Look why don't you take some of Joe's clothes, he says no problem, in fact, we all wear his pants, well we all left ours at my house," Joe said.

"But..." Mark said.

"Look, Noe says, don't worry, he's confident, and by the way, he'll lend you his bath," Joe told him, "my boy told me you smelled like fish," he said that last thing in a whisper.

Mark hung up the phone in embarrassment, then tilted his nose and sniffed… he definitely smelled…

Mark dialed the phone again.

"Hello" replied a male voice, smooth and deep.

"Leo?" Mark said.

"Mark?, Mark listen, I'm so sorry about yesterday, forgive me, it was wrong, I overdid it, I'm sorry, I just wanted that so badly that..."

"Listen, Mark, you don't have to apologize, for what happened because we both wanted to, that's all, now there are more important things, ok," Mark said, interrupting Leo.

"This is important Mark, I don't want to lose your friendship, because of what I did, you are very important to me" Leo answered.

"You are for me too, I had a great time yesterday, and... and everything until the end was perfect" Mark swallowed, "but as we said, it would only be that night, later we would say that never happened, because that shouldn't be a problem, right?" Mark asked.

Mark could hear a sigh on the other end of the receiver, serious relief, disappointment, he didn't know.

"You're okay with that, right Leo?" Mark asked again.

"To tell the truth, no Mark, I don't think... I don't think I can avoid talking about it with you, pretend it never happened, I don't think we can just ignore what we feel, I love you Mark and I can't hide that anymore" Leo said His voice was sad but sincere.

This time Mark sighed, then sit on Noe's bed, "Yes, I feel the same, but I'm not going to risk it, Leo, not right now, I don't know if you understand me, but yours and mine may just be an adventure, a fleeting feeling, even a dream that when fulfilled will suddenly disappear, I can't leave my family, for a fantasy with him", Mark said while rubbing his hand on his leg.

"I understand," Leo said, "Well, I'll do what I can, to pretend that it never happened, if that's what you want, but what I feel for you is serious, just always keep it in mind," Leo said, before hanging up the call.

Mark stood still for a moment, looking at the phone, he felt sad, frustrated, and angry.

Mark dialed the phone once more.

"Hello" answered a broken, sad, hurt voice.

"Why the hell are you hanging up on me!" said Mark angrily, "then that's the best thing you can do to show me that you care, pretend nothing happened, hang up the phone and that's it!" Mark said in an annoyed voice and growled slightly.

"But you said..." Leo said before being interrupted.

"I didn't say that you pretend that it didn't happen, I'm not going to leave my family, but I'm not going to leave you either, I don't know if you understand me, and I know that what I'm telling you is wrong, but I don't love that woman, but she's the mother of my children, and that's why I'm with her, but if we find out that what we have is more than a fantasy, then and only then, I'll leave her to be with you", said Mark, sure of his words, and with the heart beating hard.

"I... I don't know if I understand correctly, but... are you asking me to have an affair? Are you going to cheat on your wife... with me? That's what you're proposing, to be a lover, is that it?", Leo replied.

Silence fell once more on that call, and this time it was Mark who hung up.

"But what the hell am I doing," he said, raising his hands to his face, putting it in those terms is exactly what he was asking Leo, to be a lover, to be unfaithful, "He must have felt humiliated," Mark thought.

Suddenly Noe's phone began to ring, Mark didn't answer, so he rang a couple more times until Mark finally decided to answer.

"I ACCEPT" Leo yelled at the telephone.
