Chapter 12 - Windfall gain

As Bob opened his eyes, the day was already half past. But he was relieved as he saw in the garden Carlos, trying to build on the fireplace. His vast back and slow but accurate gesture were what Bob liked a lot of him.

Bob made two Cappuccinos, one for him and one for Carlos. And walked to the garden. Carlos smiled at him but was not asking anything.

„Hey, I thought you missed me, so I came for you. "

Bob tried to start a conversation. Carlos told him that he had an affair with Sandy. And it went not OK at the very end. They were just different and didn't want to try each other anymore.

Bob was shocked. My Carlos? With Sandy? He had no clue and also no imagination that this was even possible. And even if it was, how can Carlos say nothing? Is this even legal? He was confused. But most of all, irritated. How could you think Carlos, Sandy attractive? How? And why? He thought Carlos was gay?

„It was magic. And it ended." said Carlos.

„Okay, so paid the price?" said Bob.

„Not exactly. I don't even know why I got fired. For me, it's just wrong to argue more."

What does life have for surprises? Humans are just Humans. Bob felt stupid. Feeling like a dog, chasing a chicken, looking at the roof.
