Clay's POV

George and I held hands for the rest of the movie, which seemed to pass by way quicker than I wanted it to. I wanted to keep holding George's hand and was planning on cuddling up with him. Unfortunately, before I knew the movie was over and we couldn't cuddle up anymore. Maybe I would this evening when we were going to sleep.

As we were going back home, I stared at George in the corner of my eyes as he was cycling. He was so beautiful and I couldn't stop thinking about his lips touching mine. He was the most handsome boy I had ever seen and I wouldn't stop saying that. No one would ever be more handsome than he was.

We arrived at home and I sat down on the couch next to George, he was making a small list of what to take on the holiday we would be going on tomorrow. I looked at him and smiled. 'Can you help me too? What do I take with me?'

'You don't have to take much since we take care of all your stuff. Take some of your clothes, maybe we can buy swimming trunks before we go out for dinner. Take things like shampoo, soap, cologne or something and your toothbrush and toothpaste.'

'That's all?'

'You're laptop and your phone with chargers. And maybe some other you want to take with you.'

I nodded and smiled. 'Thank you,' I whispered. I was so nervous around him so I scooted a bit closer to Sapnap so I wasn't too flustered in George's presence.

George kept writing things down for a long time and I talked with Sapnap for a bit. Before I knew it was later that evening and right before we were going out for dinner, we left to go to a store to buy swimming trunks for me so I could have some for the holiday I was going on with George.

I wasn't the most difficult guy, so I just ended up choosing some cheap, green swimming trunks. George bought them for me and then we went to the restaurant.

Sapnap and George never told me that both their parents were pretty rich and they got a lot of money from them so they could take me out to places. Once I figured that out, I just wanted to cry. They were being so sweet to me and it made me really happy.

I had shortly texted with my mum once a day. She was working really hard so she could pay the bills and my food and school for the next few months. I just wished it would someday be solved, I didn't want to let my mum work all day, but I also didn't want to be this poor anymore. It would be selfish if I would be sad about it, it was harder for my mum.

I walked into the restaurant and sat down as the waitress handed me the menu, just as she did to George and Sapnap. The woman kept standing next to our table and looked at me.

I looked up awkwardly. 'Uh- hi?'

'Hey,' she said, throwing her hair back as she had a smile on her face. I frowned and looked back at the menu as she grabbed my hand.

George and Sapnap looked up as I pulled my hand away. 'Hello?' I said again with a questioning tone of voice.

'Hi, you're cute,' she said as she blinked and played a bit with her hair.

'Uh- thanks?'

'You're pretty antisocial,' she muttered. 'I'm being nice.'

'Yeah and I'm gay,' I said as I rolled my eyes.

'Oh,' the woman said awkwardly. 'I'm sorry.'

'Yeah,' I muttered. I knew I was omnisexual, but since I basically only had feelings for boys, I didn't feel the need to explain to her that I wasn't gay. She would only think she had more chances with me when she didn't. My heart belonged to George and it would always belong to him.

'You're here for the food not to flirt with the people who come to eat here,' Sapnap said with a clear tone of annoyance in his voice.

'I'm only complimenting him.'

'Yeah and he doesn't want girls, he wants boys. It's pretty awkward for him,' George said as he sighed.

'Are you single?' she asked George.

'I want boys as well so please stop. Can you just go away?'

'Fine,' she said as she walked away.

'Pfft, that's why I don't want girls,' George grinned.

'Agreed,' I giggled a bit awkwardly. 'Anyway, let's order some food.'

Sapnap put his hand in the air to ask for a different waiter and we ordered our food. While we were waiting, George and Sapnap were talking a bit about whatever and I was in my own world, staring in front of me.

I was thinking about George again and imagined him kissing me. I saw his beautiful face in front of me as I imagined his lips touching mine. I smiled as suddenly a hand waved in front of my face. I got startled and looked up to see Sapnap point to my side. I looked to the side and saw a waiter with our plates, waiting for me to make space for him to put it.

'Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking,' I muttered.

The man smiled at me. 'No worries at all, have a great dinner!'

'Thank you,' we all said and I stared eating my dinner, zoning out again. I started thinking back to George's lips on mine and my face heated up. I wanted to kiss him so badly and I would love to touch and kiss his body. I was incredibly in love and only wanted to think about him.

Sapnap and George left me alone for a little and the rest of the evening, I just spent a little in my own world. I thought about having a bit more money so I could take George out for a date. Before I knew it, dinner was over and I went to bed. I was excited for tomorrow since I would for the first time go on a holiday. With George.
