Chapter 3: So Close

Saturday morning the sun is shining. If only I liked sun light. I have to get out of bed "ughh". I guess I'll change into some new clothes. I put on some ripped jeans and a old band T. As soon as I walk down stairs I realize I'm home alone. I guess my sisters went somewhere and of course dad left for work at 6:00 am. I look at the old grandfather clock in the living room. It's over 80 years old and still tells the right time. The clock reads 2:16 pm. I woke up early. I walk to the front door. It's time to go get the mail , I need to prepare myself it's going to be bright. Right when I open the door i get blinded by bright white light. "Damn you sun"! My eyes start adjusting so I walk down the sidewalk to the rusted old mailbox. It squeaks everytime you open it. Looks like dad got a bill. what's new. Before I walk in to my house I hear a familiar voice, it's Adam's voice. I see him walking out of my neighbors house. Before I can run in side I hear a dreadful sound. "Hey Thomas". I swing around so fast "oh hi Adam". "What are you doing at Mrs and Mr Lou's house". I ask curiously. "I just came to live with my grandparents". he says with a big grin. I'm shocked I used to do yard work for the Lou's, I never even knew they had a grandson. Not only is this cute, I mean friendly boy in all my classes but now he's my neighbor. Oh no... my sister is going to flirt with him. I don't care she can have him I'm straight I'm more straight than a dry spaghetti noodle. "Hey Thomas you wanna go somewhere"? I want to say no but my lips just say yes so I guess I'm going. We walk for about an hour and I'm scared. This is how I die. Adam is gonna murder me or worse. Would the second one really be that bad. What am I talking about, yes it would be bad I like women! He tells me to close my eyes. I hesitate but he reassures me with a hopeful grin. He grabs my hand and leads me behind some trees. I open my eyes and I can barely believe it. It's so beautiful a pretty blue lake with green grass and old cabin that is in great shape. "What is this place"? I ask. "It's my grandpa's old cabin he gave it to me"He giggles. "Wow it's so beautiful". I can't help but be amazed. "I thought you would like it". He says with light blushing. "I fucking love it"! I scream. Oh no what if he hates people who cuss shit I mean dang. He can tell I'm embarrassed. "Damn right" He says while laughing. By now I'm laughing too. We go to the cabin and talk for awhile. when I check my watch it's 8:54 pm. We continue talking but I guess we fell asleep because I woke up lying on his lap with him laying in a uncomfortable position. I get up really quickly. He's still asleep so I gently tip him over and cover him up. I left my number on the table next to him. Before I left I kissed him on the forehead. Friends do that, right? For the last time I don't like guys in that way it was just a see you soon/sleep well friend kiss. Its not like I frenched him in his sleep. Holy shit what if he was awake when I kissed his head! He will think I like him like that. I'll just tell him I'm not gay. No because he will be confused if he really was asleep. I'll just wait until I hear from him. Rinnnngggg! Speak of the devil.
