Blake's Love 8
Blake's Birthday ______________________
Chris and I made it back from our New York adventure and fortunately my mom nor my dad had anything to say about it.
Life went on just as it had for the rest of our relationship. It's April 9th today and I turn 17 tomorrow. Of course, that means that Chris' birthday is in 16 days. My mom is throwing a party for me on April 14th, and since Chris' Mom thinks he's too old for a party, we're just going to have a few friends over at my place on his actual birthday. He has been shying away from his Mom, which I find odd since he wanted to come out to here a few months ago. Or was that in my silly dream about him and Melanie?
Oh well, I can't remember.
The best news I've received in the last few days is that my cousin Justin and his new boyfriend are coming here for my Mom's birth of my new sibling in August. We still don't know if it's a boy or a girl. I suppose my Mom decided not to find out till birth.
From what I've heard Justin's boyfriend is really nice. He is a Chicago native, and they are both transferring to Boston University next year so Justin can be closer to home. His name is Ethan, and they have been together since February. It's weird. Only 2 months and they act just as much in love as Chris and I do after an entire childhood together. I guess he just got lucky to find a decent guy.
Charlie and Hunter have been dating since that day in December at the Bowling Alley. They have been pretty hot and heavy lately. I don't know if they have gone all the way together, but I wouldn't doubt it. Melanie is, of course, her usual self. She dated a boy at school for a while but it didn't last long, so it's back to Me, Chris, Melanie, Hunter, and Charlie as 'the group', Hunter being a new member. He's a really nice guy and although I was sure the friends he was with at the bowling alley was his distinct group I've never seen them since that night. Maybe Hunter was one of those loner guys that just liked to hang around with whoever was doing something exciting. If that's the case though, I guess we are a pretty exciting bunch because he hangs out with us every time we get together.
Chris and I are still virgins, but I've actually got a plan of action to make that a thing of the past that Chris is not objecting to. Our one-year anniversary is coming up very shortly. I plan on that being the day. I've got this master plan that's all in my head and will play out perfectly if all goes well. Though Chris doesn't know exactly what I've got up my sleeve, he knows it's something worth waiting for.
Now that I think I've covered everything that's gone on in the last few months in short, let me get to the agenda for my birthday. The first thing that I plan on doing is making out with Chris for as long as I see fit, which I'm sure he won't object to. He's a kiss freak. Then I want to go out to dinner. Nowhere special, just a place we can talk and be alone for a little while. Then it's off to Wellingger Creek where I want to spend the rest of the night together.
I had the delight of being able to plan the day together tomorrow. We are both taking the day off of school so we don't have that to worry about, and luckily our parents didn't object.
Tonight at dinner my Mom was making me feel on her stomach as the baby kicked. It actually brought a tear to my eye. I was the youngest so I never got to do that before. Well, my Aunt had Josh after me, but they don't come over frequently, and unfortunately I don't get along with Josh nearly as much as Justin. Justin was almost as much of a brother to me as Jamie.
That brings me to Jamie; the newly wed couple that is now expecting a baby as well. My brother and Charlie's sister were married in March, and she's about 6 weeks pregnant, which makes it very possible that the wedding night was the night of conception. That's a story they will enjoy telling in the future...A new brother and an Uncle in the course of a year, how exciting.
Chris is probably almost here. I called him once I got upstairs from dinner. There's nothing better than being able to call up your boyfriend and having him be able to come over whenever you want him to without objection from your parents. That's what it's come to with Chris and I. We are just so close that our parent's don't consider us friends anymore, almost like brothers. That's definitely one thing keeping me from telling my Mom and Dad that Chris and I are more than friends, because I know it wouldn't be the same after that.
Now that I think about it, I'll probably just ask for Chris to stay the night since we aren't going to school tomorrow. I love it when he spends the night and we can sleep in each other's arms. The New York New Year's trip was absolutely wonderful because of that. For one whole week I got to sleep in Chris arms or he slept in mine. That's where the biggest question comes in, which am I...top or bottom? I couldn't answer because Chris and I play the roles equally in every aspect of our relationship. There's nothing that indicates what he would rather be either. I guess that won't matter for us like it does some people.
"Blake, Chris is here." I heard my mom say from the living room. Without having to get up I heard him start up the stairs so I just stayed on my bed.
One thing I just have to tell you is that just because Chris and I are still virgins doesn't mean that something hasn't happened. Our New York trip resulted in the first blowjobs either of us gave or received. It was a very intense feeling, and I guess that stimulated my mind for bigger and better things, which is why I'm planning this big event for our year anniversary.
"Hey Chris." I said as he closed and locked the door.
"Hey baby, what's up?"
"Three guesses."
"And the first two don't count?"
"Exactly." I said as he came over to the bed with his dimpled smile and gave me a wet kiss.
Chris has cut his hair again, short and up in the front like he's had it before. I still have mine long, ear length, and parted in the middle, but I'm ready for a change. Chris has also got his tongue pierced and two new earrings in his left year. One is next to the original and one in the cartilage at the top. I really like the tongue ring, and the earrings are perfectly fine too. He really has changed since we've been together. Prep to punk, and I finally convinced him that Britney Spears is better than Christina Aguilera. That really doesn't matter much anymore though, he doesn't listen to pop music at all, and Britney is about the extent of my pop music enjoyment. He had his Malibu done up with tinted windows and lights, which I really like. My Impala is the same as when I bought it though. My parents are very conservative. Republicans...
"I love you." Chris said as he sat next to me.
He had on my favorite outfit; Orange Abercrombie sweater and army pants.
"I love you too hun." I said returning the kiss.
"So, do you want to go and rent a movie or something?" Chris asked playing with his tongue ring, sliding it back and forth through his teeth. Always a major turn on for me.
"I don't know, I think that's a good plan," I said grabbing my wallet, "let's take my car."
The both of us went out to my car and headed to the blockbuster. He wanted something sweet and romantic, though it was a surprise; normally he wants something either humorous or action packed. I can take either one and enjoy it the same.
We walked up and down the new release section and finally we picked 'Down to You'...which if you ask me is technically a former hit since it's been out for a long time, Julia Stiles and Freddie Prince Jr. where the main actors. I also grabbed 'Boys and Girls', another Freddie Prince movie. He's a good actor.
"Since we're at it with Freddie Prince, we might as well grab 'She's All That' too." Chris said jealously.
"OK." I said with a big smile.
So, as it was we checked out with three Freddie Prince Jr. hits and made our way back to my place.
Back on my bed we popped in one of the movies, and I got under the covers.
"Don't leave me out here in the cold, dark, lonely world." Chris said climbing under the blanket as well.
"You are being so silly today." I said with a half annoyed voice though I wasn't annoyed at all.
"Well, soooorry sweetie pie. Which side of the bed did you wake up on this morning?"
"The side I normally do."
"Well, maybe you should try the other side tomorrow. I don't want you to be a crab on your birthday."
"I'm not a crab Chris, I was only kidding. Take a pill."
"I don't need a pill."
"Well, I beg to differ." I said tickling his stomach.
"Hehe, stop it. I don't want your parents to suspect anything you wouldn't want them to."
"Oh fuck my parents."
"No, I'm saving that for you."
"Oh, shut up already." I said
"OK." Chris said closing his mouth not saying a word.
"I was only kidding."
...
"Chris, I'm sorry."
I felt a tightening in the khaki material between my legs as Chris reached around and gave my semi-hard dick a pull.
"Hey! Stop that!" I said.
"Hehe, why should I?"
"Well at least save it for later."
"Hmm, I can deal with that."
Chris settled down after that. I think he was just a little too horny for his pants. We finished our movie and popped in the second and last one for the night. We are going to watch the last one tomorrow morning before we get up to do anything.
Chris was still being a little frisky, stroking my inner thigh, occasionally brushing up against my balls. What I don't understand is why he didn't just turn the movie off and devote the entire night to me. I was watching the movie, but Chris was much better than any movie. The second movie finally finished and it was going on 11 o'clock. My parents had both retired to the bedroom and I had a quick idea run through my mind. The spa was downstairs in the back patio; why not take a little venture into it with Chris?
That's just what we decided to do as we grabbed our towels and went to the patio.
The patio was located off the back of my house, adjacent to Rosa's quarters.
A light was still on in her bedroom, but she presented no threat already knowing about Chris and I.
We set our towels next to the spa on a wooden bench. We striped naked and eased our way into the warm water. At first the water is so hot it burns, but then eventually the water becomes soothing and relaxing.
"God this feels so great." Chris said.
We were sitting next to each other and holding hands underneath the water, something Chris always liked to do. He always found a way to hold my hand, even if it meant hiding it between our bodies, or underneath something. I think it's incredibly sweet.
"Yeah, it does feel good." I said putting my head back on the plastic headrest behind me.
"I love you." Chris said expectedly.
"I love you to babe." I said looking over at him, and giving his hand a slight squeeze beneath the water.
Kissing: the next expected thing, but always appreciated step in Chris and I's relationship.
We kissed for a few minutes before Chris stopped and pulled some of the hair that flopped in my eyes back. Our handholding came to an end underneath the water, and he moved it a little to the right, in between my legs. He lovingly pulled at my sac, which was hanging pretty low because of the hot water.
"It's only about an hour until your birthday begins, should I wait till then to give you your present?" Chris asked.
"Well, the thank you wouldn't come until after 12 anyways, if you know what I mean." I said with a smirk. I said, with double meaning on the word come.
"I'll make it 'come' sooner." Chris snapped back.
"Bet you won't."
"Bet I will."
With that, Chris and I got out of the hot tub sooner than I expected we would, but not caring because of my horniness.
We stood dripping naked for a few minutes, and I finally I grabbed a towel off the bench and came up to Chris, wrapping it around him, giving him a bear hug at the same time from behind.
From the kitchen, a light went on, and I panicked. I through Chris down to the ground and grabbed my towel and put it on around my waist.
"What the hell?!" Chris said from the ground.
"Shhhhshh, one of my parents are in the kitchen.' I said, obviously scared to all hell.
"Oh shit." Chris said, realizing why I threw him down so hard and fast.
I seen shadows come toward the patio, but luckily, they were just going to the back door looking out the window.
Chris and I had closed the door to my room and left the TV on, and made sure to leave the light out in the patio for good reason.
I could now hear father in the kitchen, he turned on the microwave for a minute or two probably heating up leftover dinner.
It was tense there for a minute or two, but Chris and I just laid low, and he eventually made his way back upstairs.
Relieved, Chris and I grabbed our clothes and made a beeline for my bedroom.
Surprisingly, the close encounter just made me even hornier than I was before, and as soon as Chris had closed my door and locked it, I devoured his mouth. We had pretty much dripped dry by now, and I ripped the towel off from around Chris' waist. I had already flung mine onto the bed. I slammed Chris hard onto the wall next to my door and ground my crotch into his left leg harder than I intended. Shooting pain went ripping through my left testicle, but luckily subsided before Chris realized my whine was from pain and not lust.
Nothing was going to ruin this for us, not even my stupid left teste.
The pain was now all but gone, and Chris was on top of me on my bed. Kissing me hard every second or two, looking me straight into the eyes. His tongue ring did wonders in my mouth, and the one time he gave me a blowjob since he's it was so intense I almost shot a hole in the back of his head at climax. It sucked there for the week and a half he could hardly talk, but now it all seemed worth it. I pushed Chris bad onto his knees and then onto his back at the opposite end of the bed. I grabbed his rightly estimated 7 inches and stoked it a few times before I licked the tip, making him shudder from the butterflies being released from his stomach, and finally putting an end to the suspense of when and how this night would turn erotic.
Just to keep Chris in his ultimately horny mood, I just looked at it for a few minutes before I sensed him looking down at me.
"Everything ok down there?"
"Just wonderful." I said licking his head again.
This time I didn't take my tongue off and put half of it in my mouth, swiveling my tongue around and around with the spit I had gathered to intensify the pleasure.
I wanted to keep going, but Chris insisted that it was my birthday and without a doubt I should be getting all the pleasure. So what did I do? I laid back and took it like a man, hehe. And boy was it great.
Blake's Love 8.25
Found out _______________________
...Fade from Blake's room, while Chris is getting frisky and giving Blake his birthday present, and into his parent's bedroom...
"What are we going to do Jacob?" Blake's Mom asked his dad.
"I don't know, but I know I heard them in the hot tub together and then saw them run to the bedroom naked." He replied.
"Jacob, we've suspected this for months, and I just don't think it's healthy for the baby to make a big deal out of it now, it's worrying me enough knowing what's going on, let alone how Blake is going to take it once he finds out we know." Marie, Blake's Mother, said.
"Yeah, I agree, and I don't think Chris is going to be able to spend the night anymore...at least not until we find out exactly what's going on."
"Are you sure you saw what you saw and heard what you heard?"
"Yes honey, I saw then run into his room, just as I was closing our door, and then I heard a bang and went to go open Blake's bedroom door and heard kissing. It had to be kissing."
"We raised him better than this, and how could they be doing this right under our noses and not figure it out?" Blake's Mom asked.
"I don't know, but I think your plan may backfire. I'm going to have a hard time looking at Blake and not telling him why may make things worse rather than better. I know that this would be stressful on your pregnancy but not dealing with it now could be just as harmful."
"Yes, that is true, but how can we bring it up?" She asked.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to sit him down and talk about it." His Dad replied. "And Chris should be here too, so he knows what we think about it."
"Yes, that's a definite." His Mother agreed.
Blake's Love 8.5
Out in the open _______________________
My birthday was absolutely wonderful. I was so happy the entire day. Now it's April 11th, only 14 days till we get to experience the same things again for Chris' Birthday. Hopefully I'll be able to stay the night at his house and repay the pleasure.
Chris and I both agreed that we didn't want anything materialistic for our birthdays. That the love we had was plenty, but I got him something anyways. I went out and bought him a "C and B Forever" bracelet. I think he will appreciate it, and I also bought one for myself to wear so we can match.
I could smell breakfast cooking downstairs, so I went downstairs to fill up on pancakes and milk before school. I definitely didn't want to go today, but Chris was picking me up, and that made it worth it. At least somewhat worth it anyways.
"Hey Mom, hey Dad." I said grabbing a piece of toast and swinging a chair around to sit in.
Both of them just kept on doing what they were doing. My Mom scrambling eggs, and my Dad reading the morning paper.
"Uhm...is everything OK?
"No, everything is...everything is fine." His Mom said.
"Are you sure?" Blake asked.
"Yes...I'm sure. But there is something we need to discuss. Would it be too much to ask for you and Chris to swing around here before going to the hardware store for work?"
"No mom, that's fine. We go out to lunch before work, so we can just skip it for today. I'll grab something in school. Are you sure everything is OK though?"
"We'll talk this afternoon."
My parents were acting very strange, but Chris was here and I had to go. I hope everything is OK with my little brother or sister. And why did they want to talk to Chris too? They couldn't know. No, that isn't it. I was sure my Dad closed the door before we started up the stairs from the hot tub. I know he did.
"Hey Chris." I said getting into his car.
"Hey sweet stuff."
"I dunno what is up with my parents, but we have to come right back here after school. They want to talk to me, and I guess you too."
"They didn't say why?" Chris asked.
"Nope, just that everything was fine. Which must be a lie if they really want to talk to us. And especially if they can't wait until we get off work." I replied.
"And if they knew we were down in the hot tub or whatever, don't you think they would have said something yesterday?" Chris asked.
"I would think so, but maybe not since it was my birthday. Maybe they just wanted to wait until it was over." I said.
"Well, meet me right back at my car when school's out."
"I will."
The rest of the trip was silent. We both had weird feelings about the whole situation, and the way my parents were acting made it seem even more strange.
The day at school was average. Though I won't waste my time telling you the problems Melanie is causing with her melodramatic attitude.
Back at Chris' car, and once on the road to my house, Chris gave me a reassuring kiss. We realized that the whole hot tub thing could be what my parents wanted to talk about. After all, my bedroom is right down the hall from theirs.
"Hey, I have a really good idea. My parents are more than likely expecting us in 5 minutes. Why don't we call Rosa and ask her if she knows what's up?" Chris suggested.
"Good idea, but what does my parent's expecting us in 5 minutes have to do with it?" I asked.
"Nothing really. But maybe if she says they are mad, we can just go straight to work and skip it or something. Not go at all."
"So they can think we ran off together?" I asked.
"Yeah, scratch that idea, I just want everything to be fine, that's all." Chris said.
"I know." I said patting his leg.
I dialed Rosa and asked her if my parents had talked to her about anything that they may need to talk to Chris and I about. All she said was to prepare for the worst. Maybe my parents where in the room with her or something, but that's all she said.
"I guess the best thing to do is just go find out what they have to say." Chris said.
"I don't agree, but I don't know what else to do right now." I replied.
We opened my front door, expecting my parents to be there waiting for us, but no one was there.
"Mom, Dad, you home?" I asked.
"Yeah, we're in the kitchen, come on in. Is Chris with you too?" My Mom asked.
"Yeah, he's here."
I followed Chris into the kitchen. My stomach was about to fly away with all the butterflies that must be fluttering around in it.
We sat down, me across from my Dad, Chris across from my Mom.
"So, what's up?" Chris asked, trying not to sound suspicious.
"Well, let me just say it how it is Blake. Your Mother and I have discussed this as much as we can, and we both agree on one thing. You and Chris are definitely more than friends, and neither of us want it to continue."
"But Dad..."
"Let me finish. We don't want it to continue, and Chris will not be able to spend the night over here anymore. You, also, will not be able to spend the night over there anymore. But, since it is your life to live, and I will love you whether you are gay or not, you guys can continue to be more than friends under those conditions. No spending the night at each others houses." Blake's Dad finished.
"Blake, I do have one thing to add. You will not, under any circumstances, let ANYONE outside of this house know you are with Chris. It would be a total disgrace to your father's name if anyone knew he had a gay son." Blake's Mother added.
"Now, for the punishment of messing around with Chris in this house, let alone while we were home, you will be grounded for 3 weeks. No more, no less. Once that is over, you can hang out with Chris all you want, you can see him whenever you want, and you can do what you want. But I will not allow you to sleep in the same bedroom, or stay at each other's houses for sleepovers." Blake's Dad said.
"Dad, three weeks of grounding just because you can't accept the way your son wants to live his life, his own life? You are going to make me miss my boyfriends birthday, just because you can't accept the fact that we are just as much in love as a guy and a girl can be?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying." His Dad said.
"But why? Why does it have to be a disgrace to the family and to 'my father's name'? Why can't you make it all right for me to be this way? Tell everyone that you support your son's lifestyle, and wish him the best in life? Why can't you do that, for me?" Blake said.
"Because that's not the way this family is, and you know that Blake. You were raised better than this, and it's all we can do just to let you guys still continue this...this gross excuse of a relationship." Blake's Mother blasted.
"Mom, Chris and I are going to be late for work. I think we have to go now." I said, with a tear running down my cheek.
Chris had said nothing to my defense, nothing at all. He just sat there looking at the hands he had closed together on the table.
"Let's go Chris." I said, getting up from the table.
"I'm coming, you go out, I'll meet you there." Chris said still sitting at the table with my parents.
I walked out and sat in the car, wondering what Chris was still doing in there by himself.
...
"Mrs. Yestler, Mr. Yestler you know I have been Blake's best friend ever since I moved here. I love your son with every beat of my heart. I understand your disappointment; it's never easy learning a son has chosen to live the gay lifestyle. My Mom didn't take it well either."
"Your mother knows you are with Blake?" Mrs. Yestler asked.
"Yes, she does. Though Blake does not have a clue that she knows. I told her about two months after Blake and I had made it official. We've been going out for almost a year; it will be a year in July. Maybe if you took the time to consider Blake's feelings in all this, then you would know that we have not had sex yet, and that we have been in love with each other for years, but were too afraid to tell each other because of what just happened in here a few minutes ago."
Chris stopped and looked at his hands again. He had kept his eyes focused on them the whole time Blake here, too afraid to look up and see the disappointment in Blake's face. And in his parents' faces as well. He was just about ready to cry, when he looked back up, tears welding in his eyes.
"You guys just don't understand what I have had to do to be with Blake."
The tears were now flowing. Down his face, under his chin, and eventually falling on his clasped hands laying on the edge of the table.
"My Mom, she's catholic. I had to quit going to church with her because she was so embarrassed to be around me. She resented Blake just as much as she resented me for this too. I couldn't bear to tell Blake that. And I made my mother promise she wouldn't tell him either. It's been almost 8 months since I told her. Now, she feels guilty for having resented Blake and treating me the way she did. She understands, now, that we aren't in this relationship for sex. We are in it, because throughout our childhood we grew up together, as well as in love with each other."
"I understand." Blake's mother said
"So, all I am saying," Chris said cutting Marie off, "Is that you should really think about this reaction. You should take into consideration that Blake and I want to be together for a long time. And that this may be the way things are for the rest of our lives. Take in consideration that we honestly do love each other, and we don't want to have to defy you, but if we have to, I'm more than willing to do it. And I think Blake would be too"
"We are allowing you guys to still be together." Blake's Dad said defensively.
"Don't sit there and tell me that you hope this breaks us up. That Blake will realize he's not gay, and this was just 'a phase'. I'm telling you right now, Mr. and Mrs. Yestler, and with as much respect as I have received from you in the past, and I have given to you as well, don't let finding out your son is gay make you think any differently of him, or of me. It's a terrible thing for you to go through, but imagine how Blake feels right now.
Like he ruined your lives. Like there is nothing he can ever do that will make up for this 'big disappointment' he's caused you."
"Chris, you have always been a part of this family. Even if you aren't my son, I still love you a lot. I respect you first and foremost for having the guts to stand up for what you believe in, and secondly because I know how much you do care for Blake. That's obvious even if you weren't dating, or in a relationship. Your friendship has obviously grown closer than I realized, and as much as I hate to admit it, maybe that's my fault." Marie said.
"Mrs. Yestler, it's no ones fault. You are not to blame. Mr. Yestler, you too are not to blame. No one is to 'blame'. It was Blake and I's decision to try and have a relationship, and fortunately it worked out. I can't express how much that needs to be understood. If this is a blame factor, then don't take it out on Blake." Chris said.
"Well, Chris, you are going to be late for work if you don't hurry now. Thanks for speaking you mind. I've always respected that in a man." Jacob said.
"Thank you Mr. Yestler, and please, please take what I've said to heart. I love Blake too much for him to feel guilty, or for his family to dislike me because we want to be together, and most of all, for his family to resent him, like my mother resented me for those short few months. That was pure agony." Chris said, getting up from the table heading towards the door.
"Bye Chris." Marie said, almost as if the whole conversation they had didn't take place.
"Bye." Chris said, closing the door behind him.
...
Left in the house alone again, Marie looked over to Jacob with a smile on her face.
"Grounding off?"
"I think so." Blake's Dad replied.
From the window in the living room, both Blake's Mother and Father watched as Chris got into the car, and hugged Blake as he cried on his shoulder.
"Most definitely off." Jacob repeated twice.
Blake's Love 8.75
Chris' Birthday __________________________
"Turtle wax huh?" Chris said handing me a case of turtle wax to stock on the shelves.
"Brings back some memories, doesn't it?" I said
"Sure does. I can still remember that like it was yesterday."
"Me too." I said with a smile.
Shultz's Hardware had downsized its staff by three people. Which was ironic since there were only 15 to begin with, so Chris and I were back on as stock boys instead of as cashiers. We were laid off all winter, so it was just nice to have a job back.
"All I can remember is going home that night, and jacking off harder than I think I ever had. It was because I knew you were probably doing the same thing at your house, too." Chris said.
"Hehe, which I most certainly was doing. Every image of you was running through my mind that night. Every smile, every touch, everything." I replied.
"Yeah, same here."
"Things sure do seem different around here now. I can't believe what my parent's said to me when I got back from work that night."
"I know Blake, you've only told me about a dozen times."
"Chris, I know but when you told me you 'talked some sense into them' I thought you were rude and speaking your mind."
"I was."
"Then how did it work?" I asked.
"I did it out of love and respect, that's why." He replied.
The night after my parent's told me about knowing Chris and I were together, they told me that the grounding was off, and that Chris was still allowed to spend the night if we slept in separate beds and kept my door unlocked at all times. Easily dealt with, and a far cry from what a strain the other arrangement would have put on our relationship.
Today was the 27th of April, and of course that meant Chris' birthday was 2 days ago. He was staying the night at my house this tonight and tomorrow night since his Mom was leaving town. She was going to see a friend from High school. Luckily, Chris didn't have to go.
Chris and I decided to just wait and celebrate his Birthday tomorrow. We couldn't afford to skip another day of school, and Saturday just seemed more logical. Though we both had on our 'C and B forever' bracelets. I gave him his on his actual birthday.
Unfortunately, the ordeal with my parent's has had an effect on the way Chris and I have shown each other affection. Even though I can hear when someone is close to my door, without being able to lock it gives us enough sense not to kiss or anything. My parents are being very reasonable with this, and I don't want them to suffer anything else than they already have. I actually do feel bad for them finding out, I wish it didn't happen the way it did. I wanted it to be like in the stories you read online. Where one boy sits and tells his parents, then they run over and tell the other boys' too. At least I did have Chris with me when it happened. He's the real reason we are still allowed to see each other guilt free.
Once we were freed from work, Chris and I stopped over at McDonald's to grab a cheeseburger. Something we did almost every day. After eating, Chris and I headed to my house for the night.
Since we had used my car, and it was a Friday night, I was surprised to pull up in the driveway and see my Mom and Dad's car gone. Maybe they pulled the big thing up into the garage for the night. No lights were on in the house either, and the door was bolted shut with all three locks.
Unusual.
I fiddled with the keys for a few minutes trying to unlock the door, and finally Chris took the keys from me and tried it for himself. He got them all unlocked and handed me the keys back.
"About time." I said, opening the door to get inside. It looked like it would start storming at any moment.
"SURPRISE!" Chris screamed when I opened the door, expecting a surprise party. He must have realized the oddity of all the lights being off and the door being bolted shut too.
"SURPRISE!!" ...I nearly pissed my pants, and Chris must have too by the way he jumped onto me.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS AND BLAKE" Everyone said, including my parents. They were standing behind the couch, and starting to come towards us with open arms for hugs.
"Oh, thank you." I said a few times as my friends and family came up and hugged me, and Chris' family did to him. Then his family was hugging me, and mine hugging him. Chris' Mom was there too. Her out of town trip was all a ploy.
Chris' Mom and my parents had a few conversations since we were outed. Everyone seems to be getting along just fine. Chris' Mom apologized to me too, for having resented the fact I was with Chris before she accepted it. Everything seems so much better now that I didn't have to hide my life from my parents.
The party was well on its way to being a hit when someone knocked on the door.
"You better go answer it, Blake. It's probably for you anyways." Chris said.
Before I could make my way over to the door, it was half open, and I seen Justin, my cousin walk around the edge of it. I stopped in my tracks.
"JUSTIN!" I said regaining my composure and running to him for a hug.
"Hey man." He said squeezing me tight.
Though he didn't know I was gay, I'm sure he suspected it. We always had a special bond, which was only second to the one Chris and I had developed.
I looked behind him, and seen a man I assumed was his boyfriend.
"Who's that?" I asked.
"That would be my friend Ethan, he came along for the ride up to meet some of the family." Justin replied. (Remember, Ethan and Justin's relationship is highlighted in 'What's Love Got To Do With It?' a story you can find here, on the nifty archive, or on my website.)
I wonder if Justin knows that I'm not the foolish young boy I was before he went away to college, or if he just wasn't sure what I thought about him being gay. Nevertheless, I was happy to meet Ethan, and introduced myself to him at once.
"Hi, Ethan." I said with a smile, and giving my hand out for a shake.
"Hi." He said shyly, taking my hand. He didn't look like the shy type; he must have felt uncomfortable being around other people Justin knew.
This night was turning out perfect. My cousin was home, and now I wasn't the only gay family member in the house. Plus, Chris and I had a surprise party going on for us. Charlie and Hunter were here, Melanie and her new boyfriend. Jamie and Linda were here too.
One thing that disappointed Justin was that his Mom and Dad didn't show up, and I found out at a later date that they were invited but didn't come because Justin and decided to come home for it too. That's just terrible to me, and I'm so glad that Chris talked to my parents. He said the things that I only dreamed of saying to them, but never would because I had to live with them.
So, now, I've got Chris, Justin, and my parents on my side. And its the greatest feeling I've had in the longest time.
_____________________________________________________ Well, that would be Blake's Love Chapter 8. It was a mighty large story. I hope you enjoyed it. PLEASE SIGN MY GUESTBOOK, you can find it at http://GTHQ.homestead.com. There are many other stories there you can read also. A new section of the site, called GASAD, will be up in a few weeks. I also look forward to your comments on this chapter. It was a very important one for Blake, and now that I've decided to combine Blake's Love and What's Love Got To Do With It (What's Love...) all into Blake's Love, Justin coming home was a major event as well. I've decided to give a run down of everything that you may be confused about in Blake's Love. Justin and Ethan are the last two characters to be introduced into the story line. Of course, Blake's Love will revolve around Blake and Chris, as always...but also look forward to Charlie and Hunter's and Justin and Ethan's relationship developing along the way as well.
Here's a little guide to keep things straight so far.
