Chapter 15.

Angel.

While they both they looked at each other with tenderness and love almost to the point of kissing, a fellow university professor named Angel approached completely breaking the privacy between both men asking them what they were doing, and immediately Fred excused himself showing the napkin saying that he had spilled himself with the hot sauce and he was helping him clean it.

Angel looked at the boy and looked at Fred, the boy seemed familiar to him, but among so many students who go to the same university his mind was scrambled with a lot of names, so he did not pay much attention and simply said: ahhh, I suppose that you are also tired, it has been a completely exhausting period, not only for students like you young man but also for old people like us.

Cristian told him: yes, definitely you are right Professor Angel, it has been a completely suffocating last period, Fred looked at Angel, but Angel simply said: ohhh, I think I remember your name, ¿are you Cristian right?, so the boy answered: yes, that's me.

Angel said: wow, you are very good, you have excellent grades and you are about to graduate, you are definitely not a problem kid, that is why I admire you, not like the gang of your classmates, every day is a headache with them, the good thing is that they are about to leave, so I guess that is why you came to eat with Fred, ¿right?, to which the boy answered: yes, I invited him to eat as a way of thanking them, but I am a little clumsy and the food was a little spicy and hot, so I spilled.

Angel, well son, you are not a kid anymore and that is why I suppose you will accept that I invite you to have some beers, or ¿are you ashamed to have some beers with this pair of old men?,

Cristian said no, that of course he would accept to have the beers with them and that he felt honored to share with both of them.

Fred called the waiter and asked for a bucket of cold beers and there was another serving of garlic shrimp with hot sauce… the three men, when the beers and shrimp arrived, ate and drank, made jokes and told anecdotes about the university.

Ángel did not stop complaining about the bad behavior of many students and how uncomfortable it had been to have to put up with them for years, in fact he confessed that the most satisfying part of being a teacher is when a group is about to graduate, not because of the illusion of the degree, but on the contrary, because they never have to see it again and it is a headache.

He agreed with him in that sense, because there were students who really lacked respect and took the teachers for fools, under the table Cristian caressed Fred's leg and he simply smiled innocently in front of Ángel, as if he were part of the conversation that the three of them were having.

It didn't take long for Angel to let himself be consumed by alcohol and completely drunk they couldn't leave him lying on the table and leave, so they carried him between them to the car and then left him in his apartment, but as they didn't know which one it was because the man didn't have the keys to his house, they called one of the condominium board janitors and he opened the door to his apartment, where they could see how clumsily the man had left the keys on the floor of the entrance and that probably leaving in a hurry he didn't realize that he had dropped them…
