Delivery Boy

By Jason Walker

Jason had written his cell number

on the bill he handed Derek long before

the food arrived. Whether his phone

ever rang didn't really matter; he had

crossed a line he couldn’t un-cross.

“Have a good day.” Derek smiled and

waited a moment longer in the awkward

silence. Jason knew it was his cue but

couldn't remember his line. Derek

turned and headed to his car, glancing

back once just to be sure.

Jason stared for a moment longer,

still speechless, stepped back inside, and

shut the door behind him.

Love, or something like it, would

have to wait.
