Noe n Joe 3 Pg 15 (Final PT-3)

Joe, llego a casa, y encontró a Dan y Marcos en la mesa comiendo, Joe se sentó y Dan se paró rápido a servirle a su padre.

La cara de Joe se veía con un gesto de molestia, y Dan y Marcos lo escuchaban refunfuñar mientras comía.

Dan volteo a ver a Marcos y ambos rieron disimuladamente.

Habían pasado horas y Joe ahora se encontraba sentado viendo tv en la sala, Marcos y Dan estaban arriba tomando un baño, cuando la puerta de la entrada se abrió, y entro Lot, se le veía cansado.

"Buenas noches señor" dijo al ver a Joe.

"Buenas noches" contesto Joe de mala gana.

Lot estaba a punto de subir las escaleras cuando sus tripas hicieron un ruido tan sonoro que llego a los oídos de Joe.

"Que acaso no has comido?!" pregunto Joe.

"No, es que estuve trabajando hasta tarde en un proyecto y no me dio tiempo" respondió Lot avergonzado.

"siéntate a la mesa, ya te sirvo algo", dijo Joe levantándose del sofá y dirigiéndose a la cocina.

"No no se preocupes señor, yo lo hago más tarde solo voy a cambiarme", dijo Lot

"Que te sientes" dijo Joe, mientras comenzaba a sacar la comida del refrigerador.

Al ver que no tenía opción, Lot se sentó y espero paciente.

Joe le sirvió un plato de comida y se sentó a hacerle compañía, "gracias" dijo Lot.

Mientras comía Lot comenzó a dejar caer unas lágrimas por su cara.

"Eh?, ¿qué pasa?, te sientes mal?", pregunto Joe asustado.

"No, todo está bien señor, perdone" dijo Noe limpiándose las lágrimas las cuales no paraban de salir.

"Ya dime que pasa?" dijo Joe.

"Es que tuve mucha hambre en todo el día, y ahora que al fin puedo comer, me puse a pensar en mi papa, si el estará, bien, si estará comiendo, sé que está molesto y seguramente no quiera verme, pero yo quiero verlo y saber que está bien" dijo Lot rompiendo en llanto.

Joe se levantó y dio unas palmaditas a las espaldas de Lot, "Ya cálmate, los hombres no lloran, además los padres debemos preocuparnos por nuestros hijos, no al revés, ahora come"

Lot se calmó un poco y asintiendo continúo comiendo, aunque las lágrimas no pararon.

Cuando Lot termino de comer y subió a la habitación, Joe se quedó pensando en lo que dijo Lot, "ese estúpido seguramente no ha comido o cenado" pensó. 

Una vez se aseguró que Marcos estuviera dormido, se acercó a la puerta de su hijo y toco, a lo cual salió Dan semidesnudo, ” ¿qué pasa pa?" pregunto.

"Voy a salir un momento, cuidas a tu hermano y no vayan a salir ustedes, entendido" dijo Joe.

"a dónde vas?" pregunto Dan.

"Voy a… dar una vuelta al parque" respondió Joe, para después caminar hacia las escaleras.

"OK, dale mis saludos a ya sabes quien" dijo Dan sonriendo y cerrando la puerta.

Joe volteo sonrojado, pero ya no pudo decirle más, entonces bajo y tomo un par de bolsas que tenía preparadas y tomo rumbo a la casa de Noe.

Ya en el pórtico de este, se quedó parado pensando:

"QUE MIERDAS ESTOY HACIENDO!"

Joe got home and found Dan and Marcos at the table eating, Joe sat down and Dan got up quickly to serve his father.

Joe's face looked annoyed, and Dan and Marcos listened to him grumble as he ate.

Dan turned to see Marcos and they both snickered.

Hours had passed and Joe was now sitting watching TV in the living room, Marcos and Dan were upstairs taking a bath, when the front door opened, and Lot entered, he looked tired.

"Good night sir" he said when he saw Joe.

"Good night," Joe replied grudgingly.

Lot was about to go upstairs when his guts made a noise so loud that it reached Joe's ears.

"What?, are you not eaten?!" Joe asked.

"No, it's because I was working late on a project and I didn't have time" Lot answered embarrassed.

"Sit down at the table, I'll get you something," Joe said, getting up from the sofa and heading to the kitchen.

"No don't worry sir, I'll do it later I'm just going to change," Lot said

"Sit down," Joe said, as he began to get the food out of the refrigerator.

Seeing that he had no choice, Lot sat down and waited patiently.

Joe served him a plate of food and sat down to keep him company, "thanks" Lot said.

As he ate Lot began to drop a few tears down his face.

"Hey? What's wrong? Do you feel bad?" Joe asked scared.

"No, everything is fine, sir, I'm sorry" Noe said, wiping away the tears that didn't stop coming out.

"Tell me what's up?" Joe said.

"It's just that I was very hungry all day, and now that I can finally eat, I started thinking about my dad, if he'll be fine, if he'll be eating, I know he's upset and probably doesn't want to see me, but I want to see him and know he's okay," said Lot, bursting into tears.

Joe got up and patted Lot's back, "Calm down, men don't cry, also parents should worry about our children, not the other way around, now eat"

Lot calmed down a bit and nodding, he continued eating, although the tears didn't stop.

When Lot finished eating and went up to the room, Joe kept thinking about what Lot said, "that stupid jerk surely hasn't had lunch or dinner" he thought.

Once he made sure that Marcos was asleep, he went to his son's door and knocked, to which Dan came out half-naked, "what's up dad?" he ask.

"I'm going out for a moment, you take care of your brother and you guys don't go out, understood" Joe said.

"where are you going?" Dan asked.

"I'm going to… take a walk in the park" Joe replied, before walking towards the stairs.

"OK, give my regards to you-know-who" Dan said smiling and closing the door.

Joe turned blushing, but he couldn't tell him more, so he went downstairs and took a couple of bags that he had prepared and headed for Noe's house.

Already in the portico of this one, he remained stopped thinking:

"WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING!"
