smokey: haha you didnt wanna catch feelings i was going to be your rebound? really?

maricela:i didnt want a one time thing or a rebound but like a fuck buddy i wanted to put my energy into working and being a killer

he laughed and shook his head

they ordered some food and sat down

smokey: so tell me the story?

maricela: what?

smokey: you and gios? how is it different?

maricela: before him i was with vivis sperm donor my first i guess real love or i dont know maybe i dont know what love is i was never shown love adan just saved me from shit and then couldnt accept the fact that i was better at what he did i guess i dont know i killed him but i thought gio was the one i wanted this whole thing with him but i think we where equally fucked up and where comfortable i was like ok lets get married if you want? we have kids but that went to shit so quick so maybe this will be different

smokey: i like to see it like this .. love comes in different forms we all have a soulmate but we have to go threw it to get to that person i was in love before with my daughters mother we where young and dumb and it got toxic so i went my ways but i didnt give up on it i just said itll come to me when it does

maricela: yea thats one way to see it
