The man crumpled forward with a strangled cry.

Mateo stayed across the street, half-swallowed by shadow where the streetlight didn’t quite reach. Hat low. Collar up. The motel’s neon lights buzzed and flickered +

@GetMeAShot > breath disappeared.

The third decided lunging was smarter than leaving.

It wasn’t.

Mateo caught his wrist mid-swing, twisted sharply inward, and stepped through him, using the man’s own momentum against him. The torque rolled clean +

He leaned back, studying her.

“First slice?”

“Darlin’… I don’t sit down at a table I don’t plan on finishin’.”

[Alicia Greene *PARODY* @GetMeAShot]

A sly smile formed on her lips.

"Oh, I've noticed. Many have tried, but none have gotten past the first pizza slice."

[Mateo @EssentiallyEvil]

“Just sayin…”

[Mateo @EssentiallyEvil]

“If I’m still standin’ there, it ain’t by accident.”

[Mateo @EssentiallyEvil]

He raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth barely shifting.

“Ma’am… I don’t let just anyone that close.”

“Reckon you already know that.”

[Alicia Greene *PARODY* @GetMeAShot]

"Considering where you let me put my mouth I'm sure you don't just hand it out.... At least that's my hope."

[Mateo @EssentiallyEvil]

He leaned back, thumb hooking into his belt.

“Didn’t say that.”
A small measured pause.
“Just said I don’t hand it out careless.”

[Alicia Greene *PARODY* @GetMeAShot]

"Are you saying I haven't earned your trust, cowboy?"

[Mateo @EssentiallyEvil]

The corner of his mouth lifted.
“Trust’s earned, ma’am… but I’ve never been accused of rushin’ a good thing.”

[Alicia Greene *PARODY* @GetMeAShot]

Trust that he knows how to take his time to savor...

I’ll let the pour do the talkin’.” — 🥃

@GetMeAShot > you don’t mind a little company and a missing slice or two.”

[Mateo @EssentiallyEvil]

@GetMeAShot The corner of his mouth tugged up as he set the slice back down, slow and deliberate.

“I don’t mind provin’ my case,” he said easy. “But I’ll let you decide which half’s better.”

His smile crooked, soft but certain.
“If you’re offerin’ the stay, I’ll take it. Long as +

“Looks like somethin’ worth tryin’.
Might swing by and test that finish myself.”

@GetMeAShot > The corner of his mouth tipped up.
“I’ll make it up to you with the next round.”

[Mateo @EssentiallyEvil]

@GetMeAShot > He reached in, pinched a slice between two fingers, the cheese stretching before it gave.

“Deal,” he said, eyes lifting to meet hers over the edge of the box. “Long as you promise not to judge me for stealing the better half when you’re not lookin’.”
