That day in Texas was very hot and the boys were hungry because the pizza had not been able to fill them.

-How long Eddie?-Hen wonder in her mind

- This is my parents' house, we are here, guys, - Eddie said getting out of the truck.

-Smells like sausages and roast beef, I want a good portion- Buck said

-Buck just don't joke too much- Eddie said

-Okay- Buck expressed as he greeted Eddie's mother with a big hug and a hand squeeze to Mr. Diaz ...

Eddie couldn't stop smiling when he saw Buck with his parents, thinking to himself, what would happen if Buck had to confront them for Christopher? Buck would do it?

The thoughts not only ran through Eddie's mind, but also Buck's, because when he gave Eddie's mother a hug, he felt that he was accepted in his family, but not in the way he wanted.

At the table Buck sat near Eddie,in several times their hands brushed when they took some food that was in the center of the table, Buck could not hide his blush when doing so and Eddie got nervous when that happened, people had to be very distracted or closed-minded so as not to recognize a couple of lovers when you have them in front of you.

- And what about that teacher?How did you say her name was, Ana? - Asked Eddie's father who had noticed some tension between the handsome firefighters ..

- I think that's history father-Eddie answered taking a piece of meat to his mouth ..

-Edmundo, I prefer that you focus on Christopher 100%, instead of looking for a mother to replaces Shannon, I think it would be very fast, also I think you already have an excellent support- Eddie's mother explained, taking her gaze towards Buck making him blush again..

The food had been good, but the mistakes had been several, more for Eddie's father who apparently did not feel comfortable with the friendship that his son had with Buck.

-"So ... Buck, you can tell me now,"-Hen exclaimed as she washed the dishes.

-To say what? - asked Buck

- What is happening between you and Eddie, there is more than a friendship, right?- Hen insisted to Buck

-Well, it's just a friendship, what makes you believe that Eddie and I- said Buck..

-You and me, what Buck? - Eddie asked interrupting the conversation

- Hen was just asking if you were still annoying with me, but it's nothing- Buck said shaking the towel to dry dishes

-Yes, of course, you could tell that they were somewhat amazed, but guys I think the family moment it's over, we should go to LA now- Hen explained leaving the kitchen...

Eddie knew that it was not what they were talking about, indeed, he knew that they were referring to their friendship - relationship that for a long time could be misinterpreted.

Buck, if there is something to talk about, we can do it now- Eddie said putting the last plate in the cabinet

-Eddie, when you're close to me, I feel like ...- Buck stopped just as Eddie's father interrupted them.

-Your friend is in the truck, it was nice to have you here Buck and Edmundo come to the living room please- Eddie's father said seriously who looked threatening

-Buck, thank you very much for visiting us, and I want to thank you for being there for Eddie and Christopher, I mean it,thank you very much- said the sweet lady

-I will always be there for them, take care Ms. Diaz- Buck was saying goodbye with a kiss on the Ms. Diaz cheek

Eddie meanwhile had to put up with his father's speech, the typical macho speech in which he encouraged him to look for Ana again. Eddie was no longer comfortable talking to his father about those things so he cut him off quickly.

"Dad, I'll call you later, I love you." Eddie said leaving his house, giving his mother a kiss and going with his friends to LA ...

The trip has been a bit long and the night has fallen, it seems Eddie ate too much and fell asleep near the window. Buck sneakily saw Eddie out of the corner of his eye, and thought how cute he looked sleeping.

-His eyes look so pretty- Buck said in his mind as he took a picture of him with his cell phone.

The scent of Eddie's perfume kept driving him out of control, but Buck already knew that it wasn't just the perfume, but the fusion it made with Eddie's skin.

Why my heart beats too fast?, shit!!, it's happening again!!!- thought Buck silently

-If you have something to say to him, do it, otherwise you are going to live your whole life regretting not having done it, I tell you from my own experience- said Hen while she ate some chips

-You again, I thought you were sleeping,- he said.

-I saw how you took a picture of Eddie,do you like him right? - Hen asked directly

-I think I'm confirming it,- Buck said as he combed his head lightly.

-Easy,you will not have to kill me to keep your secret, saying it is only up to you and Eddie, to no one else- explained Hen smiling

-Thanks for being a good friend Hen- Buck said as he settled down to get some sleep

-... but never forget that you can regret it in the future Buck, rest something ok,have a good night- Hen said, while she covered his eyes with a shirt to avoid the light.

That day Buck had understood and confirmed that if he wanted Eddie for him now, he just had to find a way to say it, because Buck was also afraid of his reaction, he was afraid of his rejection ...

The truck passed by Eddie's house that morning and Christopher was at the door to greet his father.

-What a boy! - thought Buck

-I admire him so much, no I do not admire him, I love him so much, he is teaching me to be a father without wanting to, now that I think about it, his approval would also be important- Buck kept thinking

-Christopher will understand,coz he loves you!, once Eddie accepts you, you should find a way for Chris to accept it in the most successful way Buck- said Hen ...

- I hope I can get to that Hen- said Buck

"I trust you, and you will," Hen said as the truck pulled away from Eddie's house.

That day Buck understood,he loved Eddie more than anyone else and from now he would just have the courage to tell him ...

To be continue.
