3-Minute Passion (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 18

I opened my eyes and felt the cold air touch my skin. I leaned my body on the headboard. Where is my shirt? Where's Red? I took my phone out of my pocket and it's only 8AM. Did Red sleep next to me? I walked to his closet and took a white shirt. Shit. I can't go down and let them know I just woke up. This is so embarassing. 

I went to check my face on the mirror. I need to at least look descent. 

"I didn't know you're awake.." I looked over the door where Red is standing topless and only has a towel on.

"Uhh, yeah.. I just got up... Sorry, if I woke up late...." I turned to face the mirror. 

"No need to be sorry for anything... Breakfast is ready... You can go downstairs, my dad's talking about how great you are..." He walked towards his closet to change.

"Uhm... I borrowed your shirt... I couldn't find mine..." I know there's still tension between us. We haven't settled the college thing last night, because I dozed off.

"S'okay. I saw how uncomfortable you were when you were sleeping so I took it off and put it in the laundry." He puts on a white shirt same as mine. He looks better with the shirt.

"Thanks..." I turned to face him. He's already done putting on clothes. His black boxer's a little fit.

"Let's go?" His eyes are scanning my face. He must still think that I'm mad at him.

I gave him a small smile to let him know that I'm not okay, but can manage.

He doesn't seem to like it and walked pass me. I don't have any other choice, but to follow him.

Joey, Kevin, and April already started eating. Joey noticed us and gave me a big smile.

"G'morning, James! How's your sleep?" April and Kevin turned to face me. April is dressed with a red silk fit dress that really compliments her skin tone. Kevin, on the other hand, is only dressed with a green worn out shirt. It's obvious that they are a complete opposite.

"It was nice..." I gave them a faint smile.

Joey's grin turned into a frown. I know that he can sense that Red and I are not okay. I just hope he doesn't bring it up.

The breakfast passed by Kevin and Joey sharing their childhood moments and I laughed every now and then. Red is quiet as usual. I can't stand him bantering at me, but I also can't stand him giving the silent treatment. It's driving me insane.

I went back to his room to look for my shirt. He didn't follow me when I excused myself to change. My Halloween costume is still at my house. And Nick would pick me up at 5. If this will keep up, I have no choice but to go back home.

I sat on his bed and clenched my hands. Damn it, Red.

The door opens and I quickly fixed myself.

Great. Finally, he decided to show up.

"Hey." His voice is so gentle it's hard to hear him.

He can't even look at me straight in the eye. I want to sulk in front of him just to let him know how hurt I am right now.

"I wanna talk to you about... College..."

"What've you decided?"

"I'm going to Ohio University with you." His eyes rest on mine.

"You don't have to..." He can't give up PITT. I know he'll do great there and he can feel comfortable being the smart kid he truly is.

"Why are you fucking pushing me away?! It's my choice!" He shouted.
