Secret Romance (IM5 Colton)

Chapter 4.

*Sunday, September 9th 2012*

*Cole*

I woke up at 6am to go to the studio even though I didn't want to. I got in my car when I was ready and drove to the studio. When I got there, my heart started pounding and my hands started to sweat. I opened the door and Dalton ran to me. He pulled me into a hug and I hugged him back.

Dalton: "I'm not ready to tell, Cole."

Cole: "I know, me neither but we have to."

Dalton: "I know."

He pulled away and we both looked around then I kissed him quickly. We walked into the studio and all the boys were there.

Gabe: "Finally."

Cole: "Hey guys."

Dalton: "We have something to tell you."

Will: "Are you...?"

Cole: "Not yet because we want to tell everyone first."

Dana: "Tell everyone what?"

Dalton grabbed my hand and laced our fingers together.

Dalton: "We like each other."

Dana: "I KNEW IT!"

Cole: "Really?"

Dana: "Yeah. It's obvious."

We both laughed slightly.

Will: "Have you told Cassidy and Madison yet?"

Cole: "Yeah."

Gabe: "How did they react?"

Dalton looked at me and I shrugged. I don't know if we should say.

Dalton: "They were okay with it. We're still friends."

We heard the door open and quickly let go of each other's hand. Eben walked in and I looked at Dalton. He nodded slightly at me and I nodded back.

Cole: "Eben?"

He looked at us.

Eben: "Yeah?"

Dalton: "We have... Something to tell you."

Eben: "Is everything okay?"

Cole: "Yeah, it's just..."

I looked at Dalton and took a deep breath. He did too and then we looked away.

Cole and Dalton: "We're gay."

Dalton: "And we like each other."

Eben looked a little shocked but nodded.

Eben: "Okay..."

Cole: "We know it's really abrupt and everything but we wanted to tell everyone before anything happened between us."

Eben: "It's okay boys. If that's how you feel, then we can't do anything to tell you otherwise."

Dalton: "So you're okay with it?"

Eben: "Yes."

We both sighed in relief and they all smiled. I looked at Dalton and he smiled at me. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room. He pushed me against the wall and smiled at me.

Dalton: "They accept us."

Cole: "I know, it's great."

Dalton: "So, um, do you want to be my boyfriend?"

Instead of answering, I pressed my lips to his and kissed him passionately. I placed my hands on his cheeks and he put his on my back. I pulled away after a while and just smiled at him.
