“Carlos: TK, did you let a wild animal loose in our home?
TK: What is this, make everything a big deal day? (Whiny voice) Ugh, there’s a possum somewhere in the house! The living room smells like guacamole!
Carlos: That’s what that smell is! TK, what happened in here?
TK:… I may have thrown a burrito at Mateo”.

charlos drama after controversial twitter reye's created.. here is my shots
charlos (charles leclerc/carlos sainz jr)
M for kissing
anggsstt, drama, singapore gp, the iconic marina bay pool, comitment talks, (carlos parents are trash here sorry)
-- "Zero" inspired by (born to die lana del rey lyrics)
two week before singapore gp
turns out, they didn't go to singapore earlier as they planned to do. carlos flew back to spain with his parents, leaving charles alone in hotel room with a complex feeling. internet has been speculating lately, about how... how charles' image as too nice, too friendly, too happy-- accusation spiraling around that it is just a facade.
charles still laying down on his bed , carlos' bed, that is long cold. he waits and scroll, scroll again through infinity thread.
'what the fuck is wrong with carlos' he thoughts.
or maybe they didnt like him as much as carlos do. maybe whatever this thing between him and carlos is wrong. maybe nico rosberg words true though, he speaks his jealousy.
is he? is charles jealous of carlos? the realization sinking deeper into charles heart and mind. he didn't-- but at same he is- but carlos never been in monza podium before so it's fair. and charles is truly , beamingly, happy to see his teammate on top of monza. he is not jealous, no charles is capable enough to separate on off the track.
but does carlos? is he really mad or just mad, or annoyed that charles pushed him hard? carlos said he didn't enjoyed the battle, he watched the cooldown video,
didn't like it but the race was good. carlos didn't like it.
he gulped his own saliva and feel the tears start forming at his eyes. charles bring his forearm to cover his face, curling at the side where carlos' slept, the bedsheet is no longer warm, carlos scents on thin air, he barely can smell it anymore.
'are you mad at me?' 10.30 AM
he typed to carlos and it seems his boyfriend already on the plane. charles sighed and goes into his slumber before any of tears streaming down into his sleep.
one week before singapore gp
carlos didn't reply his message. charles put down his phone and stares into his kitchen wall,
"what are you going to wear during the karting? should i use long sleeve or t'shirt is fine?" there is a similiar voice shouting at him from living room.
charles' finger twitch to send another message. it is so rare that carlos forget to reply his messages, as far as he knows charles name is always on the top in his chatroom.
when is your flight to singapore?
i haven't prepare my flight you know... just in case
well, let me know! i'm available after jules' karting race! (sent 07.00 AM)
and now it's already lunch time. arthur rumaging his clotes, go back and forth towards living room and kitchen, find something to fill the stomach before touching down the track
"Bro!"
"What?!" Charles jumped at his brother.
"You are out of space again. Come on! we had race to go!"
ah yes., karting for jules is held today and the reason why charles standing in the kitcen because...
he blinks at his brother as arthur raised his eyebrow,
"you won't cook pasta for us right? i choose to not eat a whole day rather than to eat yours" he said before storm away to his own room.
what was it again? oh right, he need to toss the pasta, well yep shit, it's dry now. carlos used to pour a cream milk and hot water to the pasta while adding some herbs, that is what make the pasta so chewy and tender. so he grabs a glass and pouring the amount of water then a milk, letting it simmer until he felt the texture is just right.
he hummed at his creation. savory and creamy. the spices kicked his mouth deliciously. maybe for carlos, it's too spicy. but it doesn't stop him cooking for charles, every night, every little chance they had, it always goes like: carlos with grill pan and the steak smokes all around him while charles sitting down the counter, ready to annoy him with sauce or eating the dish, making carlos snarked then they will bantering with each other. lucky for charles, sometimes carlos could fuck him over this counter, letting his come painted the walls or some of them might be decorating their food. carlos said it's delicious anyway, charles might think it gross but what's the different than getting swallowed a whole?
he chuckled at his own thought, and remember something
right, he missed carlos.
"your cooking skill is improving"his maman takes a bite out of nowhere
charles grins sheepishly, "i have the best teacher"
his mom, always like an angel, smile and nods, telling him a goodjob. charles haven't say anything about his relationship, but somehow, his mom gives him a secret smile and charles didn't know how to reply it.
singapore gp week
Feet don't fail me now
Take me to the finish line
Oh, my heart it breaks every step that I take
But I'm hoping that the gates, they'll tell me that you're mine
12 PM, in the pool. just two of us.
charles breath hitched as a new message from carlos comes like a bolt of lightning. it's wednesday evening and charles started to worry if they will never talk about this. but patient always has it's own rewards.
charles stunned to watch the marina bay building from his car.
"your room is in level 16, number 5"
marina bay is beautiful
"charles?" his trainer voice slightly become annoyed because charles lost in his own world.
"where's carlos?" he said while still looking up to the building.
andrea sighed, "just a couple room closer to you. come on get moving charles, we've been here for thousand time and yet you still starstrucked looking at the building like a newborn baby" he says grumply before taking charles luggage out of the car
charles hummed, but it's true. singapore become more beautiful each year. andrea doesn't understand how beautiful singapore is to charles. and he thinks about the secret they kept in this country, sounds like an exclusiveness, charles loves it. he wonders if carlos feels the same.
so it is time to meet him then.
marina bay pool, midnight
carlos already sitting on the pool only with his swimming trunk when charles came to the highest floor. carlos and citylight infront of him, glorious, carlos and race track, magnificent, carlos gives him a side glance to him, endearing.
he smiled at his own idea before standing up beside him and
--a massive splash from the pool like slamming down by a whale
"ppfttt cahlos!" charles, soaked like a cat, still wearing full pajamas clothes. it not fair, he groans while looking at carlos who laughed at him.
"baby" carlos try to reach charles waist but before he could grasp any hems of charles's strings, the monegasque jump over and drowning both of them.
carlos wraps his arms in his waist, meanwhile charles hands find a grips in carlos' shoulder. they gave up and swim up to the surface.
he didnt know if he should laugh or take a breath first but they did both at the same time and ended up coughing. so so stupid.
"don't" charles gasping for a breath but still anchoring himself to carlos' neck
his teammate laughed and bring him into a soft kiss.
"charles," finally. oh charles want to cry.
he cradles carlos face with both of his hands, fingers trails the sculpture of his lover face, so hurried as if this moment will be gone in a flash. he missed him so much its hurts.
"charle-" carlos tries to speaks between the messy kisses but charles having none of that
stupid carlos left him hanging just after they sleep together. he hates carlos who run away and comeback as nothing happen.
"charles"
"non" he keeps kissing kissing his lips until it felt raw, fresh from their exchange saliva and carlos moans against him.
"you." charles ending the kiss by caging carlos head with both of his hands. "left me!" green versus brown, and charles sure he looks menancing now because how carlos brown eyes looking at him earnestly soft, innocent, afraid to be hurt.
despite his annoyance, carlos replies it with a sad gaze and a whimper. he closed their gaps in the water by pushing charles into pool side and hugs him close.
just right them, the race track is shining and splendid. the glows from track lights illuminating through the sky
they stayed in each other embrance in a damn long time, charles thought, did carlos booking the place so only two of them allowed to be this intimate?
he brought his finger to cradles carlos' hairs, "you cut it short"
only replied by a hummed against charles' neck. carlos snuggled closer into charles' skin
"what?" he decide to ask
"how many..." carlos sound unsure, " what did you see on internet?"
so this is it. charles gulped down, hands never leaving the thick locks that somehow shorter than before.
"everything..." he brushed carlos's spine up and down, "everything and it so unecessary. but..."
"but?" carlos fingers sinking deeper into a flesh of his waist
"i hate the way you treat me. just left me. it's dumb carlos, you make me feel dumb"
a silence occurs for a minutes, "it's complicated" carlos said. he cranes his neck to meet charles gaze that not looking at him, but to the scenery behind them.
"how so" charles asked him without spare a glance, "how could you say that when you also put me in a complicated situation?"
he watched carlos's face become more confusing than before, is he really?
"what do you mean"
'oh mamamia" charles giving him a tsk and carlos clearly grunts at his answer.
"you really jealous of me having my first podium in monza? charles you are unbelieveble--" carlos fingers are no longer in his waist. he whines at the coldness of water splashing against his body
"not that point" charles cuts him, " if you didn't like it why don't you just say it? if you can't say to the media, why not be honest to me? why would you need to be like 'oh the race was good but i didn't like it' at the same time you also say 'i enjoy the race, battling with charles is good', when you actually felt it wasnt!" he throws his arms into his side, making the water splashing everywhere
he doesn't dare see carlos eyes, he might cry, or maybe he is already. because he felt a warm water stings into his eyes, or maybe it just a splash of caporite.
"why you didn't say anything to me. people accusing me that i'm the one who lies to the media meanwhile i'm actually really like it and having fun. i'm so happy for your podium because you fucking deserve it the whole weekend. and they still said things like that-- and and " he is rambling too much but carlos let him to continue,
"and your mom, the twit, it doesn't make anything better!" charles gasped, " and i need you that time. i need you to convince me, to tell me that us is okay, but you are gone, you... you left and i don't know am i did wrong. does your family dislike me that much? is whatever we are having this right now, is wrong?!"
"charles hey" carlos cupped his cheek and it's a wet mixture between pool water and tears
charles shutted his eyes, it's stings and hurts in many different way, he tends to overthink so much and carlos is the one who often calm his racing thoughts but he wasn't , not at particular two weeks before singapore.
🎶Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough
And the road gets tough, I don't know why
"is me loving you, consider as a sin?"
carlos grips his face tighter, "charles!" his voice rough, disliking charles thought
it doesn't get better
"loving you when we are f1 driver is already hard!" he wriggles from carlos touch', but carlos held him firmly
charles brought his own hands to his eyes, palms against the eyelids desperatedly, and his voice becoming wavery as he speaks up,
"why you don't make it easier for me, to loving you as a person?"
"why carlos?" he lets carlos to see his vulnerabilty. when he opens his watery eyes, charles was shocked because carlos sheds more of tears, leaking down from both of his puppy brown eyes.
"don't say things like that"
charles was so stunned seeing his teammates cried so he completly blank as carlos brings his face closer for a deep kiss
he tasted a salty tears, the lashes are heavy with droplets. charles gasping for carlos's tounge and it sets firmly inside him. carlos brings his hand to brush against charles eyes,
"im sorry" he could hear carlos whimpers against the kiss
"im sorry, im sorry" carlos pulled away from his lips and goes into charles' nose, "im sorry, charles", and a drop on where his dimples used to rest, "i'm so stupid, i'm sorry" then settle it long on charles' forehead, "sorry, shalrs"
"carlos" charles look at his eyes and found carlos hiding something from him.
"sorry, i..." he stutterd as fingers shaking against charles' cheek. charles covers carlos' hands with his own, smoothering his hair hands slowly until the finger stop shaking.
"i'm serious being with you.about this. about us" carlos breath against him. then he let out a chuckled
"i've been thinking about the future how will i purposed you, how big or small our wedding goes, and yet here i am being so stupid that i can't even understand you, be with you, convince you that i love you."
charles stunned at carlos confession, "married..? you want to--"
carlos chuckled in his own tears, "my parents, they don't fancy you, but i'm hunderth percent sure it's because we are still teammates. they used to be like that to lando too, but not as severe to you." charles still eyeing him closely, seeing how carlos scrunched his face, preventing tears to spilled
his brows furrowed, "i swear i tried talk to my mom but she doesn't listen. yes, i didn't like it how you are pushing me hard while i'm defending but i'm also having fun. so so much. that's why i said that to media, i-- i want to tell you but things happen and my parents urge me to come home together and..."
"and you didn't replied to any of my text" charles said it bitterly
"yeah" carlos losen up his grips then settle down on his arms.
"i was..."
"its okay" charles sighed,
"charles. no, it's not okay. i made you questioning your feelings. i made you feel dumb" carlos is now looking at him shakingly, like... like he is a murder of someone or spill some ferrari secret to media.
but charles thinks about many possibilites of their position now. which is zero for them to come out as a couple. it is not a strategical condition from the team where they are still have a poor perfomance, it is not beneficial for carlos because of his on hold contract, and still controversial for their sponsors.
zero.
"but what does it takes? you can not just marry me here without our parents knowing. even so, i still can't hold your hands in public. i never had a chance to do a proper date with you!"
"are you breaking up with me?"
charles groans at carlos dumb answer, "seriously?! you think i'm that easy to give up !?"
carlos whinced, "no..."
"stupid" he huffed and looked away from carlos. thought lost at singapore citylights. they are supposed to having fun, it's singapore. their country, their history starts here. and yet... their downs choose to happen in this place too. charles smiled a little in his heart, knowing their hardship growing in singapore too. because he knows, love is not enough as the road get tough. it needs a communication. requires strong believes and commitment.
"i am sorry, please don't give up on us." carlos tugs charles arms and without further do, charles melt to the embrace.
fighting on track against carlos is exhausting but fighting off the track with carlos is more mentally worn-out.
"how about you?" charles asked, mumbling his face against carlos' neck
"i'll make it up for you. let's have a city tour right now. i heard there is night market that is very delicious."
charles blinks twice, right now? "date right now? like,, this in the midnight?"
he felt a warm washing his body, "yes charles. right now. lets go somewhere. we have plenty place to explore in singapore." carlos, for the first time they meet again, giving him a fond smile.
"but, people will see us. your parents must be watching you--"
"fuck them. i want to be with you. to spend a proper couple date with you."
charles could feel another tears building again but now, it's a happy one. one step being in public. slow but sure.
"okay" he breathes out. "help me change my clothes please?" charles wiggle his brows, creating a laughter from carlos
🎶Keep making me laugh
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
sooner or later the world will now about them. sooner or later, charles will happy showing of the golden band that sit comfortable in his fourth finger. sooner or later he can walk hand in hand with carlos. but right now, the public only see their shoulder brushing against each other while they walked in orchid pedestrian street. carlos' parents might be seen the picture of his son feeding up charles the best kaya toast he ever tasted. later in the morning, rupert and andrea will scold them for sneaking out the hotel like a petulant child.
but above them all, singapore has witnessing their love oath. the country saw laughter, kisses, and tears they shared. five years ago they present themself to each other and singapore was watching them
and now, it is become the only secret they shared together. is sort of an exclussiveness. charles and carlos decide to keep it longer for a moment. and when they ready to state it publicly, singapore have to be the only place. it is.

A true Englishman doesn't joke when he is talking about so serious a thing as a wager.
Jules Verne, Around the World in Eighty Days (1872)
Michael Todd’s adventure comedy film ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ was released in 1956. The film starred David Niven as Phileas Fogg. It also starred Mario Fortino Alfonso Moreno Reyes (known as Cantinflas) as Passepartout, Robert Newton as Detective Fix, and Shirley MacLaine as Princess Aouda.
The rare picture of David Niven as Phileas Fogg in the Reform Club’s Card Room was part of a set just for publicity purposes and is held in the Reform Club archives. When it came to actually filming the scenes in the Reform Club they shot in the studios with a life-like set. The Reform Club refused to let any filming done on its premises for fear it might disturb its members.
As a current female member looking back, I might have voted otherwise just to let some daylight in to this once stuffy place.
Times have changed and a few private members clubs are quite partial for a big budget film to shoot some scenes in their iconic premises. This includes the Reform Club which has appeared in many popular films such as the James Bond films ‘Die Another Day’ and 'Quantum of Solace', 'The Avengers', 'Sherlock Holmes', 'Tenet', and others. I know there are now grumblings from current members that things have swung too far and the Reform Club is not a film set but a private haven for its members. So perhaps the Reform Club should close its doors on the principle less is more.
Anyone want to take me up on a wager that it will?

browsing the interwebs trying to see if garcia marquez had read borel (after cam’s mention of tarabiscoter) i found more* indices of borelophilia in latin america.
*nothing in the same league of Juan José Saer’s De l’art romantique (1st poem here) but it reveals a school of short story writers in Chile, who claim to love Borel.
From Roberto Bolaño’s concejos para escribir cuentos/advice for writing stories:
7) Los cuentistas suelen jactarse de haber leído a Petrus Borel. De hecho, es notorio que muchos cuentistas intenten imitar a Petrus Borel. Gran error: ¡Deberían imitar a Petrus Borel en el vestir! ¡Pero la verdad es que de Petrus Borel apenas saben nada! ¡Ni de Gautier, ni de Nerval!
/Storytellers usually brag about having read Petrus Borel. In fact, it is remarkable that many storytellers try to imitate Petrus Borel. Grave mistake: They should imitate his dress! But the truth is that they know nothing of Petrus Borel! Nor about Gautier or Nerval! (i have no idea about the context or these supposed poser petit cenacle fans)
8) Bueno: lleguemos a un acuerdo. Lean a Petrus Borel, vístanse como Petrus Borel, pero lean también a Jules Renard y a Marcel Schwob, sobre todo lean a Marcel Schwob y de éste pasen a Alfonso Reyes y de ahí a Borges.
/fine: let’s agree on something. Read Petrus Borel, dress like Petrus Borel, but read also Jules Renard and Marcel Schwob, Marcel Schwob above everything. And after him read Alfonso Reyes, and after him Borges.

Museum Trip _ Hayko Reyes
Find a painting that has an interesting use of warm or cool colour in their shadows and highlights - what do you notice? 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is Van Gogh's Painting, a post-impressionist painter. I have copies of his paintings on my wall so I am pretty biased on why I like it. I always liked his wavy patterned brushed strokes and thick layers of paint. Seeing through a screen and or printed does not do them justice. Seeing them visibly pop out is great. He always seems to use blue, aquamarine, and yellow in a lot of his paintings, which is a color scheme that I like.
Tumblr media
This Franz Stuck's, Inferno. It is oil on canvas and very symbolic. Aside from the dramatic figures Stuck uses color to evoke emotion. The painting is very dark and low contrast. The most contrasting thing in the painting is the fire. Red and fire and used as symbols to represent suffering and hell just like where the scenery of the painting is.
Tumblr media
Jules Breton's, The Weeders and a nice contrast between cool and warm colors. The women working are all in the shadows (with cool and dull colors) as the sun goes down. But that's how you know the sun is going down. From the contrast of the warm sun. The sun is only bright and warm relative to the women.

Her satin dress and long hair blew in the Santa Padre cool December air. She quickly tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear as she eagerly awaited for the door she just knocked on to open. Her mind was jumping all over the place, while it was nice to be back home, she definitely didn’t miss the condescending and prying comments that always happened at her family’s annual Christmas party. 
“Are you seeing anyone?” “Why didn’t you major in engineering like your parents?” “You’re a freelance photographer?” “Not a lot of money in that, is there?” And that was just the ones she could remember, she definitely let a lot of them go in one ear and out the other but sometimes some of them found a way of sticking. That’s why she found herself at the Mango Street address, banging on the front door nervously waiting for someone to answer. 
“Hellllllooooo!!!” She yelled and peaked through the window hoping to catch someone walking by. 
“Are you crazy? Or just stupid?” Angel’s voice alerted the woman as he opened the door. His jaw hit the ground when he saw who was standing there.
“You wanna retract that statement or what?” She pushed the man slightly as she slid next to him to enter the house. “Where’s EZ?” 
The girl moved around the house like she had never left, like she was home again, and in a way she was. This house was where she grew up, after school she’d be here till the late hours of the night studying, before school she’d come over and trade lunches, the weekends were spent playing endless amounts of the same video game over and over again on the couch. All with her best friend, Ezekiel Reyes and his brother Angel. 
“Come on in, Julia.” Angel sarcastically retorted as he was still shocked holding the door open. 
“I’ve got a one track mind right now Ange, and I’m determined to bring your brother in on it with me.”  The hallway was just in her steps when she heard a familiar voice behind her coming from the kitchen. 
“Jules?” 
A grin the size of the moon grew on her face and she turned around to stare at her best friend. It had been a few years since they last saw each other. They were both at different colleges, at opposite sides of the state which made visiting rare and honestly non-existent. 
“You want to go on an adventure?” Her face was glowing in excitement. 
EZ stood there, a confused look on his face but still a glimmer of amusement peaking through. His hands were perched on his zip up, gripping the opening as he stared at the girl trying to comprehend exactly what she meant. But then it hit him. This was Julia. His Julia. Wild Jules. Whatever she had up her sleeve was probably going to be the most entertaining thing he’d done since he saw her last. He had missed that, the spontaneity the girl brought to his life, the laughs, and even in the midst of the chaos, she brought a feeling of trust. A feeling of home. 
“Let me grab my keys.” EZ moved so swiftly to grab the keys to the pick up truck while the girl made her way back outside, squeezing by Angel again. 
“Merry Christmas, Angel.” Jules squeezed his arm as she made her way back through the front door. “Tell Pops I say the same and sorry for kidnapping EZ!” She called out now that she was on the porch making her way down the steps. 
Angel stood there dumbfounded again, confused to all hell at what was going on. His brother was now making his way past him to follow the girl who now stood impatiently in the driveway. Angel gripped his hand around EZ’s bicep, stopping him in his steps for a moment. 
“What the fuck is going on?” Angel asked, shaking his head truly just wanting to wrap his head around the last few minutes.
EZ licked his lips and gave that infamous grin of his and tapped Angel’s hand before removing it off his arm with a shrug. “It’s Jules.” 
Two words. As if that was the only explanation that was needed. For Felipe, who had just made his way to the living room to see what all the commotion was, it was all the explanation that was needed. Angel looked back at his father, as if he was waiting for him to offer up more information but he just followed suit with his youngest son's expression and shrugged, lifting his hands up and retreating back to his bedroom. 
After the two piled into the truck, EZ started to drive, following the girl’s directions with no clue where they were headed. 
“What brings you back home?” EZ asked, gripping the wheel. 
“Same as you.” Jules was now putting her window down so the breeze was in her face. 
“If I recall, I’m never invited to the Silva Family Christmas Party,” Ez teased, knowing all about the annual holiday party the girl’s family threw. 
“Every year that passes I’m closer and closer to my invite being revoked.” She laughed. 
It was strange. Even though the two picked up like no time had passed so easily, it was overwhelming. Not so much them or their friendship, but what it meant. The last time they were together, there was a pressure, a pressure of leaving behind all what was expected of them, which was a lot. Their last conversation was an argument about not going through with it. Jules was begging EZ to follow what he wanted to do, pursue baseball, while EZ was telling her she couldn’t live in her parents' shadow anymore.  Jules did it. She dropped out of school after the first semester and picked up photography and began travelling, working for magazines and companies on spec. It wasn’t a luxurious life but it was one she was proud of.
They pulled up to the ice cream parlor that was downtown and before EZ even put the car in park Jules was opening the door to exit. All he could do was chuckle, and open his door as quickly as he put the truck in park. As he exited, he saw the girl twirling around in the empty parking lot, her hair a mess from the car’s open window breeze and looking like a fool in her expensive dress clashing with the run down ice cream shop in the background. But yet, to EZ it was a picture perfect moment. 
“C’mon, Stanford. You’re buying me a sundae.” She waved him over. 
“And me?” He passed the girl and began walking backwards as his eyebrows raised a couple times at his best friend. 
“I’ll buy YOU a sundae next week, same day, same time. It’s a date!” Her voice boomed in the empty parking lot. 
“I gotta get back to school, Jules.” EZ’s voice was soft in comparison to hers as he held the door open for her. 
“No you don’t.” The girl denied as she slipped by him rapidly entering the shop. 
EZ didn’t bother arguing, it hadn’t even been 20 minutes and he wasn’t going to have this conversation just yet with the girl, not to mention he was on a high just from seeing her. Her energy was contagious and he was just happy to have this moment with her. 
“Vanilla Sundae, hot fudge, strawberries, rainbow sprinkles, anndddddd,” the girl paused for a minute as she overlooked the toppings menu one more time before finishing her order, “and a jawbreaker.” 
Her head swiveled over her shoulder as she looked at EZ and asked him what he wanted. That was it. That was the moment. Their last conversation, the argument. The look she gave him transported him back to that day. 
They had just left some shitty party and were walking home. They decided to walk through the shops downtown specifically because they heard some street music. Jules was absolutely drunk off her ass that night and the two of them danced the night away in the middle of the Santo Padre streets until she spun around so much she quite literally got sick. EZ held her hair back for her and just in typical Jules fashion, she bounced back immediately, wanting to tackle the next adventure of the night, which happened to be getting EZ to skip out on Stanford and go into minor league baseball. 
She looked over her shoulder at him just as she was doing now, giving him that look, with those eyes. He almost forgot how he could say no to a face that beautiful. The key word being almost. That night he just brought her close against his chest, resting his head above hers. Offering no words, just hoping the comfort would give her some time of answer. 
“Don’t go, EZ.” She mumbled into his chest. 
“I think we should get you home, Jules.” EZ squeezed the girl and resumed their walk home. 
EZ knew he loved her then, but he decided to take the route of breaking her heart instead, which also happened to be the path where he broke his own as well. He packed up for Stanford, missed saying goodbye to Jules and sent a 3 sentence note to her house knowing she wouldn’t have read it until she was back home in a few months. 
“EZ, do you want anything?” The girl asked again and he shook himself out of his head. 
“Same as you.” He stepped up throwing a $20 on the counter and his arm around the girl as she leaned into his chest. 
“I missed this.” She mumbled against him. 
“Me too, Jules.”
The two sat in the truck, windows down, eating their ice cream in silence, just the sounds of spoons hitting cartons and the occasional teeth chatter from the mix of the cool air and the cold ice cream. 
Ez barely touched his, which allowed Jules to finish hers and then start scooping from his cup. 
“What’s wrong with you?” She asked as her spoon snuck into his bowl. 
“You were right.” EZ said not able to hold back anymore. The memory of that night was eating him alive. Especially those last words. 
“I love you, but I can’t be here to watch you give your all to a life you don’t want.” 
“Then don’t.” 
Then don’t. EZ ate those words the minute they left his mouth. 
“I tend to be right about a lot, care to elaborate?” The girl was clearly still unaware of what EZ meant. 
“I shouldn’t have gone to school, I should’ve joined the training program.” EZ spit out words that were shocking to her. 
“Is it too late?” Logic took over, she wasn’t going to pull the “told you so” card, she wasn’t going to make a point, she was just going to try and see if it was feasible. 
“I’m a year out, as year out of practice. It’s nearly impossible.” EZ shook his head and leaned against his arm that was rested on the window of the car. 
“Nearly.” Jules said, grabbing his ice cream from him and finishing it off. “There’s some wiggle room there.” 
EZ smirked at that and let out a chuckle, Jules wasn’t one to give up easily, if there was .01% of a chance she would take it. 
“So what?” Her mouth was full of melted vanilla ice cream as she spoke, “we just gotta practice? Fill out some paper work? We’ll get Angel in the outfield, you tend to aim better when you have him as a target, then we’ll go down and fill out whatever we gotta fill out.” 
She was so hopeful that it made EZ start to gain a little aspiration. 
“We?” He asked, looking over at the girl now. 
“I’m working on a hometown piece for this magazine, I’ll be here for at least a month.” She now had the jawbreaker in her hand. 
“I never understood why you ordered those, you never eat them.” EZ’s attention was now being drawn to the candy. 
“They make for good magic 8 balls.” She shrugged and opened the door to the truck so she was now standing in the parking lot. “If it’s blue, we go on the second part of the adventure I had planned and then think about baseball, if it’s red, we go to the batting cages in El Centro and then the second part of my adventure after.” 
“What’s the point in that, it’s win win?” EZ was leaning over in the truck so she could hear him. 
“Exactly, we make our own odds, Reyes.” She said like he should’ve been aware of that. 
She smashed the jawbreaker on the ground and it broke into a few pieces to reveal the purple inside of the candy. 
EZ let out a laugh, moving so his head was leaning against the head rest. “Create your own odds all you want but fate has a way of intervening.” He shook his head waiting for the girl to get back in the truck but when he looked over he saw she was gone. 
A pit filled his stomach and he was scanning the lot looking for her before exiting the vehicle himself, sweat starting to drip from his head as he continued to look for her. His eyes stopped as he looked inside the ice cream shop to see her leaving with the bucket of jawbreakers in her arms, struggling to hold it up but not one peep out of her asking for help. 
With a deep sigh of relief, EZ walked over to her and grabbed the bucket out of her arms. 
“You wanna tell me what the hell you’re doing?” His confusion not only on his face but in his tone. 
“Making due with the odds given to us.” She shrugged like it was obvious. “It was purple. So we come up with something else to do. We’re gonna take these to the park and use them as baseballs. I know you have a bat and glove in the trunk, you always do.” 
EZ was at a loss for words, this was Jules, her mind was always working and not being around her as much made him forget just how hard her mind did work. 
“I’m in, but only if we make bets on each one we hit.” EZ placed the bucket in the bed of the pickup as he stared at the girl on the other side. 
“Will I be a millionaire?” The girl’s voice went high as she interlocked her hands and kicked her leg up to mock EZ. 
“Hey, I thought you were all about the odds.” He questioned her with a smile knowing the teasing remark would earn him a look.  
They climbed into the truck when Jules shook her head and smiled. “Shut up and drive, Reyes. Let’s get you into that training program.”
