LLL – Chapter 26 – Where Life Takes Us – House of the Rising Sun
Nick Bells' POV
Today was the day... The day I agreed to go out with Jayce. I really don't want to; I mean... well you know why. I just don't feel like heading out anywhere, but a promise is a promise.
I walked out of the bathroom trying to fix up my tie. Mom was leaning against her doorway staring at me. "Yes, mother?"
"I just can't get over how handsome you are. Jayce is a lucky young man." Mom... you have no idea. "Where are you two going tonight?"
I sighed. "Jayce is taking me to a fancy place. He told me to wear a tie and leave my wallet at home." Mom reached out her hand. "Really, you sided with him?"
"Yes! Nick let him be a gentlemen; he offered anyways."
"More like demanded." This tie is pissing me off!! "Mom can you fix my tie for me!?"
She let out a giggle. "Of course I can." I stood there as she fixed it up. Then she made me hand her my wallet. I don't know what I was expecting there to be honest. Maybe her forgetting in 5 seconds.
Not long after that Jayce pulled up to the house and got out of his car. I ran downstairs trying to prevent my parents from seeing him. I mean, I know who I'm going out with and my parents... they can be a bit protective of their baby.
So I tried to book it out before Jayce knocked. But just as I made it to the foot of the stairs there were three loud knocks on the door. Damn it Jayce, be slower!!
I opened the door with an extremely fake smile. "Hey Jayce," and an awkward giggle finished it up.
Jayce looked really good. He gelled his hair back and had on nice cologne. His blue plaid shirt worked well with his black dress pants. His sleeves were rolled up; I like to keep mine down.
Dad came out of his office, with a smile on his face. "Hello, you must be Jayce."
"Yes sir and you are Nick's father I assume." Jayce extended his hand for a shake.
Dad gripped his hand for a shake. "Your assumption is correct. You can call me Mr. Bells." Oh, dad please don't be overprotective. "Where are you two going tonight?" OH GOD that's always how it starts!
"I'm taking Nick over for a bite to eat at my favorite restaurant. After that, I don't really have planned." Nothing else planned!? Maybe that means that we'll go straight home.
"And what time will Nick be home tonight?" It was 5:30pm right now...
Jayce smiled. "No later than eleven."
"Good, enjoy your night boys." He turned around to head back to his office. "It's good meeting you Jayce."
"Likewise sir!" Jayce had this cocky smile on his face. To be fair, he answered all the questions well enough for my dad to leave right away. I remember Clair's first date... they had to reschedule. "Ready to go?"
"Very!" We got out to his car and went on our way.
The restaurant was in the next town over, which was a 45 minute drive. Jayce let me put my music in, which was mostly the latest pop music. We talked about all kinds of stuff, mostly music related though.
When we finally made it to the restaurant, I couldn't believe it. It was like... a five-star restaurant with five-star availability and prices! No wonder he made me keep my wallet at home.
Looking over the menu I was dumbfounded. "You look overwhelmed, should I have taken you somewhere else?"
I looked up shaking my head. "No! I like it; I just have to take everything in. How'd you get reservations for this place? It looks super hard to get in!"
He smiled. "I got super lucky and someone canceled just before I called." Okay, is that destiny pulling some shit here or what? "I've been here a few times with my parents."
"Your parents can afford this!?"
Jayce laughed it off. "Ya, they are really well off. We moved here for a place for them to settle down. They are still super busy with work and stuff."
"What do your parents do?"
"My dad is a pilot, and my mom is the head chef slash owner of the new Fork 'n' Spoon in town." That restaurant just opened up too and has been creating a buzz around town. Apparently it's super great. I might have put my resume in for a server position there. "Mom and dad buy and sell bonds almost daily, which is where most of their money comes from."
"That's cool... my mom is a teacher, you knew that, and my dad is a lawyer." My family sucks compared to his. "I actually put in my resume in at the Fork 'n' Spoon for a server position..."
Jayce smiled. "I'll make sure you're hired then! I'm going to be the Sue Chef." I gave him a confused look. "Basically the second in command of the kitchen. Mom has had me helping in the kitchen since I was little."
Just then a waitress came up to the table. "What may I get you two to eat?" We ordered our food; Jayce spared nothing as he got a four-course meal for each of us. "Okay, if you need me I'll be around." She winked towards us and was on her way.
I turned to Jayce. "So you know how to cook?"
He laughed. "Ya, I would like to say pretty well. Apparently enough for my mom to make me her Sue Chef."
"Then I'll make you a deal." He raised his eyebrows. "I'll agree to go on a second date with you if you cook it all yourself."
"Done!" We laughed as we continued our conversation. I really need to not judge a book by its cover. He puts on such a rough approach that I couldn't see past it. He's actually a cool guy when you see past the cover he puts up. Mom was right, I'm glad I gave him a chance.
Antoine Rieu's POV
"Izzy help me with something!" Izzy and I were hanging out in my room like usual, but today I wanted to do something. Something I think I'm finally ready for!
He rolled over on my bed. Don't worry he's still fully clothed. "How can I help my dear Frenchie?"
I took a deep breath. "I wanna tell my parents today!"
Izzy immediately jumped up from my bed. "REALLY!?" He can yell really really loud when he's excited. He quickly had me in a hug he was so happy. "When do you wanna do it?"
"Today!"
My door flies open. "Stop with your sex in here!" Emile spoke firmly. Both of us just look at him and burst out laughing. "What's so funny?"
"I have no idea, to be honest." I was feeling the same thing. No idea why I laughed, but it just happened. "So when today do you want to? It's up to you when we do it."
"What are you doing?" Emile closed the door as he entered the room.
I sighed. "I want to tell Mom and Dad that I'm into guys."
Emile's face lit up really fast. "Sweet! I'll leave you two to plan it then!" And like that he was out of my hair. If only it were this easy every time he was bugging me.
So for the next hour or so Izzy and I tried to plan how we'd do it. Turns out that that just created more stress for me. We ultimately decided just to go up and tell them. It seemed like the least stressful option.
Izzy led the way upstairs. Mom and Dad were sitting watching a TV show. I couldn't tell you what they were watching. It has doctors and shit in it.
Mom noticed us come into the room. Now... since this is mostly in French I'll translate for you. "What are you two up to? We heard yelling downstairs."
"Can you pause the TV for a sec?" Dad paused the TV. "I wanted to tell you guys something..."
"You can tell us anything Antoine." My eyes looked around the room, at anything but my parents. "What is it, son?" My dad tried to counsel me.
I looked over to Izzy. "You can do it, Antoine!"
Taking a big deep breath in, I turned back to my parents. "I like boys more than I like girls..."
Mom and Dad didn't seem phased by this at all. Mom smiled. "So it's you who was looking at those sites!" That got me turning into a tomato reaaaally fast.
"We still love you, son; nothing major has changed in our eyes," Dad reassured me. "I'm proud you found the courage to tell us. If you need to talk don't be afraid to ask. We're here for you more than anything, Antoine."
"That goes for you and your brothers. You can tell us anything, and we'll listen. We just want to be there for you three." My parents really are the best! I'm way too lucky for this.
"I love you, Mom and Dad." I went over and hugged them. "Okay, that's all. Bye now!" They had a laugh as we went back downstairs. I was doing so well today not calling him that too!
We got into my room and shut the door. The first thing Izzy did was kiss me. At this moment, a kiss was perfect. It wasn't too much, or too little, just perfect.
Izzy separated from my lips, both of us with huge smiles on our faces. "You're amazing Antoine, amazing."
"Merci!"
Isaac Adams' POV
Antoine came out to his parents!! I'm super happy for him for doing it. The way they just accepted him was perfect. Now we can be a bit more snugly in front of his parents. That's if Antoine is up for it.
So just after Antoine did it, I posted to my Facebook a status saying: So happy for my boyfriend for coming out to his parents today!
Don't worry, I only have like 20 friends on Facebook. Only people I would talk to regularly and I have high privacy settings. Non-friends can still message me though.
Though that status is now haunting me... Dakota messaged me when I got home. Like right, when I got home. I was fucked.
Dakota – Since when have you had a boyfriend? Me – Shortly after I got back from vacation... Dakota – So that's why you ditched me then? You were seeing someone else? Me – No, I mean I had feelings for him, but I didn't know he liked me until I got back. And I already told you, I was too nervous to ask to hang out with you. Dakota – And that excuse is still bullshit. Me – I know, and I'm sorry, but there isn't anything I can do Dakota – Could have told me you have a boyfriend... Me – I don't need to tell you everything Dakota Dakota – You told me once that we were boyfriends, what happened to that Isaac? Me – I started going out with Kale, and I told you that. Why are you bringing up the past? Dakota – Cause, to me, all this seems to mean to you is a joke. Me – Okay, Skype call right now!
Is it just me or is Dakota crazy? I don't know what to say about this... I really don't.
My Skype started ringing; Dakota was calling me. I answered. "Hey."
I could hear Dakota roll his eyes. "Whatever."
"Dakota listen for a second."
He cut me off. "No, you listen to me. It's been like four years since we met, and we've been on and off the entire time! Then when you can actually see me in person, you skip the fuck out. Now you have a boyfriend, and I feel fucking lead on here." I was at a loss for words. What do you say to that? "No words, huh? Figures."
"Dakota, since Kale and I broke up I haven't been dating you. I don't need to report everything to you. I don't need to say that I'm dating someone or whatever. I've said I'm sorry over and over again for not seeing you."
"And every time you say it I hear absolutely nothing."
"You can't blame me for that."
"Sure I can. Why is it that I feel nothing, the amount of times you've said sorry?" I do say it to him a lot. "You'll randomly stop messaging me saying your phone died, or you fell asleep or some shit. The amount of times you've said 'sorry' makes them worthless to me.
"I hope you're fucking happy with your new boyfriend. Good day Isaac!" And he hung up the Skype call... I can't help but feel super terrible about this whole thing now... I think Antoine has just made his way into the crossfires of a war, and it's all my fault.
Tyson Jackson's POV
Zach had joined in on the first company dinner he's been to. Seeing him dressed up in a suit and tie, it made me realized how hot he was. Like he's super attractive, he could get any girl. But he has Shane, who makes him happy!
I was walking around with Zach, introducing him to people who come up to us. "Hello, you must be Tyson. I have heard so much about you." A man came up to us hand extended to me. "I'm your father's new trainee, Travis Crown. It's very nice to meet you."
Travis looked a bit older, not much younger than my dad. But definitely in his late 30s at minimum.
I shook his hand. "Likewise. This is Zach Albore; he's my provider while Mom and Dad are busy."
Travis shook Zach's hand. "It's nice to meet you too, Zach. How long have you been Tyson's provider?"
"I've been working since they went away before Christmas. After they had got back, they offered me the job, and I accepted on the condition that school comes first." Which was one of the best days ever!!
"Ahhh, yes. That is the trip I met your father, I believe." Something caught Travis' attention behind us. "Ahh, Nikolai, come here a second!"
I turned around to see Nikolai Tavenor from school! He looked exactly like Oz from Pandora Hearts! SUPER CUTE!! Also good manga, go read it.
After one look at us he gave off a cute smile. "Tyson, this is my step-son, Nikolai. His sister and mother are sure to be here somewhere."
Nikolai offered a wave. "Hello. You're part of the GSA at school. And a part of my Math and French class right?" I nodded. "Tyson Jackson, correct?"
"Yep."
"So then your dad is the one who throws these dinners?"
Again I nodded. "He likes to make sure the staff knows one another. Even though they cultivate together for the most part."
Zach grabbed my shoulder for a sec. "I'll be just over there." HE pointed towards the bar; he's only 18 though, so he'd be getting a soda of some kind. "Come get me if you need anything, or go anywhere."
It was nice having Zach here. I'm usually by my father's side the entire time as he makes his rounds to the chatting groups. With Zach here I can roam around as long as he's close by. Luckily the bar was like 15 feet away.
"I think I'll join you, Zach." Travis left with him.
Nikolai giggled. "Travis is pretty cool. He's the reason we moved here."
"You call him Travis? Isn't he your step-dad?" I find that kind of weird.
"Ya, but I met him when I was eight and he was introduced to me as Travis. So that's what he's always been to me." Okay, that makes sense... still weird but makes sense. "Anyways, I was looking for a friend... well person, to show me around town sometime. Just where the good stores and any hidden treasures are. I thought... maybe we could hang out sometime and do that together."
Is he asking me out on a date!? Or am I just reading too far into this? Fuck my hormones are going crazy, which makes this is hard to read! "Ya, sure I can do that. Do you have a cell phone?"
He shook his head. "Parents couldn't afford one. Maybe now with Travis' new position I'll be able to get one."
"That sucks... what's your house number then?" I managed to put his home number into my phone. "I guess giving you my number wouldn't be really good... you'll just forget."
"Actually!" He got really excited. "I have a photographic memory and can remember numbers extremely easily. I could give you my mom's debit card number right now." Wow... okay. I gave him my number.
Like half an hour later I tested him. "What's my number!?" And he got it right, dead on! "Wow, you do have a good memory."
"I was top of my grade. You guys don't post your GPA in this school though, so I don't know where I stand here." Wow... He's cute and smart... is there anything this kid isn't?
Just then someone hit a wine glass with a knife. "If everyone could return to their tables, dinner is about to begin!" My dad's assistant spoke loud and clear.
Nikolai turned to me. "I'll be expecting that call Tyson."
"Don't worry; I won't let someone else show you around." He quickly went off in the same direction Travis headed from the bar.
Zach walked up to me with this huge ass grin on his face. "I know something you don't know!"
"What is it? Tell me!" I can't stand it when someone taunts me like that.
Zach laughed. "Apparently, and you didn't hear this from me, but Nikolai has a major crush on a boy in school." He's into guys!? OMG, THIS MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER!!
Did I really just say OMG... I'm sorry.
"WHO!?" I demanded to know.
"Travis didn't say, he just asked me what I thought about raising a son who was into boys. We had a nice conversation. That's honestly all I know, Tyson." He likes a boy, that means I have a chance with him! That's all that matters! This is officially the best company dinner I have ever been to!
Chapter End.
