I woke up today thinking that I'd take up Dan's idea with starting to use the gym he had. I decided that it would be best to keep in shape, since these are the years I should make sure I don't get into a slump. Usually people that do gain a bunch of weight they don't need.
All I can say is, "Wow.. 6:00am is way to early for me to be up doing anything." Or anyone else for that reason. I guess the only reason I am is because Dan said he'd personally help me if I'd like.
("I should probably get this out there, I exaderated on the size of the weight room. But what kid at my age doesn't exaggerate anyway, right?")
Dan came up to my room and opened my door wondering if I was ready to use the few machines he did have.
"Hey Brandon, you ready? I do have a few machines, just know if at anytime you feel like you've outgrown our home gym, I have a friend who has a real gym. I can get you a membership there for practically nothing. On the plus side of that option it's only a few blocks away from your school."
"Really? that's awesome! Thanks Dan!"
He smiles at me. "Well let's get going, I've got work in a hour."
I'm practically already dressed and decided to wear an old t-shirt since I'd to go for a shower after anyway.
Dan walked with me to the mini gym as you can call it and he spotted me while I lifted some free weight. He decided to try 40 pounds on each side. The first time I lifted them the whole thing almost came down on my chest.
If it wasn't for Dan I'm sure I would've died.. or atleast had a stroke.. I'm not the strongest thing in the world as you can see.. I tried again with half the weight. It was still really, really heavy! but the overall 50 pounds was doable for atleast five lifts.
"Hey, Brandon, You want to use the treadmills now?"
"That's something I'd like more.." I looked at Dan like I never wanted to use the weight bench ever again.
"Now your talking Dan!"
He smirked at me. "Call me dad, Dan sounds weird from my son you know?" He looked at me like I was his son all my life.
I gleemed with pride knowing I was going to have the chance to get to know him more, rather then just seeing him time to time walking down the hallway.
I spoke up, "I'm more a running kinda guy anyway since I used to be a swimmer at my old school. Honestly now I'm not sure if I'd even like to do that at this point though. It was almost expected of me since my mom always talked about my real dad doing that."
The next thing I knew "Dad" smiled and said the most interesting thing I've ever had the chance of hearing. "Don't worry, here you can be yourself, noone will ever get the chance to tell you that you have to do something you don't want to be forced to do. Not as long as I'm here, you can bet on that."
Me and Dan did a fair sized run on the treadmill before going our seperate ways for the day. I told him I wouldn't be home for supper and that I would be going to eat with my new friend, Nick.
"Go enjoy the mall it's Friday. Don't worry about spending to much I trust you, and from what you said yesterday at the table, you might need some new clothes." He smiled and gave me a credit card, I was unable to think for the moment.
As he left he slapped my butt which I thought was really awkward.. I jumped, slightly but didn't really realise it myself because I was to busy deciding what to do with the money I was just given. All I could really think was that Dan must have a ton of money my mom doesn't even realize he has. Almost like a secret stash..
I'm just glad I'd be able to hang with Nick.
The day passed fairly quickly. I decided to watch some tv. That show about where the guys all buy these storage units. Anyway when I watch that show, hours go by like crazy. All the drama within the show makes me kinda happy I'm not there and can just laugh at there foolishness more then anything.
Finally 4:40pm came and I sent Nick a text about how I'd be at the restaurant and how I wouldn't order till he got there. A few minutes after leaving I got a text that he'd be there a few minutes late since he had a late practice. For what I don't know..
I text him back quicky before I got to the reataurant. I guess while I'm sitting here I could tell you a bit about the place.. It's called "Williams Authentic greek."
The inside looked like a Subway. You know basically when you walk into one and noone's there for some reason. Well this was much like that with seating for about 30-40, I'm guessing, but of course people were there. It's a restaurant on a friday evening..
I sat there for a couple minutes before Nick came in looking even better then the first time I met him. He looked like he just had a shower before coming.
"Hey Brandon, sorry I was a bit late. Had a busy meet today".
Oh? for what? He looks at me and grins. "Swimming of course!"
I nod at him as my heart humps a bit quicker. "Really? swimming? I used to be on a team as well!"
Nick looks at me with excitement. "Thats awesome! You think your going to join the team when you get to school here?"
I shrug but grin. "I might just have to.."
He looks at me curiously as I gulp not realising the hole I just myself into.
"I mean it's pretty hot here.. even for the spring." He nods understandingly.
(Wow that was just to close!)
We both go to order but when we do the man behind the counter smiles.
"Hey Nick, who's your friend?"
Nick looks towards me, "His name is Brandon and appearently he's got more in common with me then we both thought."
William looks back towards me and grins. "Sounds cool" He puts his hand out for a shake. He looks curiously at me. "Well a friend of Nick's is a friend of mine." I look towards William and then over to Nick. I try to piece together who they are to each other but don't have any luck.
William breaks the awkward silence as he looks towards Nick. "So two Gyro festivas on the house it is. I'll have them both brought out for you."
"Oh and Brandon call me Will, william is to formal."
Nick smiles as we reach his usual seat at the back. I just laugh and look at him playfully.
"Your not part of the mob are you? I mean with the free meals and booth at the back?" He laughs.
"Might be, so don't mess with us, got it?" he nudges me playfully as we take our seats. Within minutes we are both eating. I do my best to break the silence.
"So are you team captain?" he shakes his head.
"Naw I'm not cool enough for that." He laughs once more.
(He has the laugh that makes you want to just.. You know... Hug him!)
Nick looks towards me. "I'm mostly alone here other then a few friends. Don't get me wrong, I know almost everyone throughout school but I'd rather just stay away from most."
I nod. Who were those guys yesterday by the door at lunch?
Nick gets serious for the moment. "Don't mess with them their dumb shits. They recently actually beat up this poor kid for walking past them and slighty bumping them. They will get you in trouble. My suggestion is to leave them alone and walk the oppisite way whenever or where ever you see them. If I'm around though they won't mess with you though ok?"
I nod slightly scared and embarrassed.
(I'm really glad he has my back though even though we just met.)
Nick wanders to the trash with both mine and his garbage. I then look at him. "I gotta get some new clothes, wanna go to the mall?"
(I leave out the part about my new dad giving me the card of course.)
Nick nods. "Good idea, maybe we can get you a few decent t-shirts and a new hat? He laughs as he points to his hat I'm wearing"
"So where you from Brandon?" Nick looks towards me.
"I'm from dodge city." I watch Nicks face light up.
"No way! the Kansas City Royals are the best!" I gloat just a bit. "You know they were in the playoffs last year."
Baseball is amazing! I'd love to join a team but not sure if I'd be remotely good enough for one.
Nick nods. "I understand, well I'll have to get you in touch with the varsity team here. It's just through highschools here but still might be a good chance to see if you have what it takes.
We go outside and we walk towards a older toyota. Nick looks towards me. Don't worry it won't explode.. Or not yeat anyway.
We soon get to the mall and look through the clothing store and I got some cool t-shirts and even got Nick another hat since I was wearing his.
(My size too! we are a total match! I ended up sending close to 125$ though.. hope Dan Isn't to mad.)
After we finish the boring shopping Nick shows me this neat pet store. It turns out he loves exotic pets and has a snake as well. The whole time we were at the mall we were actually chatting like we knew eachother for years. Nick offered to even take me to go see his house as his parents were away attending some wedding for the weekend.
When we get to Nicks house we pull up and a BMW sits in the drive way. "That's my dad's car he smirks. Might be mine someday if I can show them I won't wreck this one. It's kinda a training car they say.. Anyway lets go in shall we?"
I just can't help but look at the house in front of me. It's huge just like my new house..
(Is everyone always this rich?)
We walk into the home and we pass the kitchen. "Want a soda?" Nick asks.
I nod, "For sure!" We get to his room and I can't help but feel like I'll be seeing this room alot more. As we get in he walks over to the other side of his room. I followed and sat on his bed. I looked around the room curiously. He fed his Ball Python. I was shocked and watched in awe. He soon motioned for us to go downstairs to watch a movie. We decided around eight, we'd order a pizza.
(What kid refuses a pizza even after he ate barely a few hours ago!)
We watched this movie about a bank robbery. Turns out Nick loves that kind of stuff. Not doing the crime but simply how people go through all the ideas up to commiting something like that.
It's pretty neat to think about how much time and effort goes into those plans and to think that a bank robber usually gets away with something. Then for some reason they almost always get carried away and usually do something stupid like deciding to rob something big, right after when the police are usually most active and alert.
Half way through the movie came and that's when for me, the mood changed. It was weird but amazing and I'm so glad I haven't creeped out Nick up to this point.
After we paid the pizza guy, Nick came and sat back down. I purposely desided to inch closer during the movie. It was a surprisingly chilly night even for Florida so I had the perfect reason. I decided to become bold and test the waters. I playfully moved up close when in the movie the bad guys just blew through the bank vault and they were taking the money. Anyway when this happened I jumped towards Nick and we both started to wrestle hard.
"You think the good guys will win? I do!" I smirk in responce.
"The bad guys will get away duh!" Nick has me in a head lock.
I'm squirming in his grasp. At that time my hand wanders down towards his upper leg and I grab at him making him let go of my head. I pull my head up and time stopped. Time went into slow motion as I looked towards him realizing my head was going straight to his. when we struck eachother we both at the same time looked at eachother. We just kissed! WTF! OMG! That was my first personal kiss with anyone! Let alone this amazing guy! I blushed hard and looked towards him.
He was laughing hard. "You liked that huh?"
I just stay silent as he teases me realizing he doesn't know I'm falling for him. The rest of the night went without a hitch. After the movie we watched a bit of wrestling. I felt as if he was just rubbing in the accidential kiss we had. We decided to call it a night not long after I called Dan telling him I'd stay. I wouldn't dare ask my mom for a reason I don't feel like is important at this time. It would just upset me anyway.
"So wanna sleep in my room?" Nick looks towards me. "When friends come over we usually sleep down here but it's so dam cold. It's weird.. Anyway I have a king size bed so dont worry we don't have to cuddle if you don't want to." He shoves me lightly as he teases me.
I just laugh back and follow him to his room. it's about 2am at this time so we are both pretty tired. Probably Nick even more since he has school today.
I use the bathroom and come back quietly just in time as Nick is shirtless and in his boxers. He hops into bed. I get in beside him after stripping and go to the opposite side. As I'm just about to sleep I feel a warm body next to me. Then I feel Nick wrap his arms around me.
"Hey you ok? Brandon? You've been quiet ever since you know.." I am completely at his mercy as he holds me close.
I nod* mhm just uh you know.. I'm just tired. Nick smiles and suddenly kisses my cheek. As he does, I squeek.
"He laughs at me softly. So cute! hope you don't mind the snuggles but it feels like I've known you for years and plus it's cold." Nick says this but I pretend I didnt hear the second part.
(I really want to see how far this goes!)
"It's ok I'll be your teddy." He grins and kisses my cheek once more approvingly.
"Thanks Teddy". Nick purrs as he does this. I glow inide like never before as I snuggle into the bigger jock not knowing what tomorrow will bring.
