Although Izzy was almost positive Ulises didn't trust the promise. He hadn't called for a ride in three days. It was hard to believe a social butterfly like Ulises hadn't gone anywhere in all that time. At the very least, he was cleaning for Seryn. And he had probably had to do his job in spurts so he wouldn’t get tired.

Izzy dialed Ulises’ number. It rang forever without a response, so he hung up and decided to text him.

Izzy: Why didn't you answer my call?

Ulises: Because I don't want to talk to you.

Sassy boy.Izzy had half a mind to spank his bottom.

Izzy: Do you need a ride anywhere?

Ulises: No. Thanks. I have it covered.

Izzy: We agreed I'd take you.

Ulises: You agreed you'd take me. I never had a say.

Izzy: I'm trying to be nice here.

Ulises: Wow. I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Ulises followed that with an eyeroll emoji.

Izzy: Please, just let me take you to work in the morning.

Ulises: Gavin is taking me.

Izzy: Fine but do you need to be anywhere else.

Ulises: You're not going to let it go are you.

Izzy smiled. He had him. Ulises would give in.

Izzy: I just want to help, baby.

Ulises: Fine. I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday in the afternoon. You can take me to that.

Izzy: Thank you.

Ulises: With the stipulation that you stop calling me baby.

Izzy chuckled before he even sent the text.

Izzy: Okay, Sweetheart.

Ulises: AAAAAHHHH! I changed my mind. You can't take me to the appointment now.

Izzy: No take backsies.

Ulises: That's not a word.

Izzy: Look it up in the dictionary.

Ulises: Bye, Izzy.

Izzy: Bye, baby. See you Wednesday, if not before.

Ulises sent an angry face emoji a second later.

The conversation improved his mood. Instead of dissecting the reason, he grabbed a beer from his fridge.
