D&J (LS)

Jim & Danny CH-8

Daniel immediately looked at Jim when he heard the phone ring. Round eyes filled with tears as he looked at Jim with trembling eyes.

"Trust me," said Jim to Daniel. The young boy bit his lip but nodded in acceptance. Jim immediately answered the incoming call along with turning on the loudspeaker for Daniel to hear.

📞"Hello," Jim answered the girl's call.

📞(“Jim, what time are you coming to my house today?” ) A sweet voice asked. Daniel looked at Jim, wanting to know what Jim would answer.

📞“Probably not, I'm sorry," Jim replied.

📞(“Why? Last week. You said you'd come and spend the night with me at home. I diligently prepared dinner for the two of us,” the young woman's voice asked back with enthusiasm. Jim looked at Daniel with serious eyes.

📞“I don't want my lover to be uncomfortable,” Jim said. Daniel's face brightened a bit. Although still not 100 per cent confident but the words that Jim said made Daniel feel a little hot in the face as well.

📞(“Are you kidding me? Why did you say that you still don't want to be with anyone seriously?” The young woman's voice asked.

📞“Not joking. Because now I have someone I'm serious with. I'm sorry, Izabelle," Jim said back, sounding serious and firm.

📞(“I don't believe it. Someone like you can never be serious with anyone,”) The girl spoke back in disbelief.

📞“I won't force you to believe me. But l insist that what I am saying is true. In fact, I don't have to explain anything to you, because, after all, the two of us were never in a relationship. Sorry, and thanks for everything. That's it, Izabelle," Jim said immediately for he was never serious with any of his sexual partners. Whoever said that he was mean, Jim agreed to it. But he never forced anyone to sleep with him. Most of them were young women who offered themselves to him without any strings attached. Which Jim had to respond to cause it was normal for a man like him. When the call ended, Jim turned to look at Daniel who now had a dull face.

"What's wrong, Danny?" Jim asked worried.

"Don't you pity them at all?" Daniel asked. Because he felt bad like he was the reason the young woman was cut off. Jim used both hands to lift his smooth face slightly to make him look at his face.

“Danny, listen to me, don't think that everything is your fault. Because the person who is really at fault is me. And don't think that you snatched me from anyone else. Because I never belonged to anyone. But now I have an owner and that is YOU. I don't ask you to believe what I say. But let me have a chance to redeem and prove it to you with my actions. I'm going to make you feel confident that I have only you Danny and I really love you,” Jim said in a series of phrases causing the fog of guilt to slowly fade away from Danny's mind.

“is P' Jim really going to have me alone?” Danny asked in a trembling voice feeling overwhelmed.

“Yes, I will only have you, and forever,” Jim said again. Before Daniel pounced on Jim and hugged him tight.

“I love P'Jim, I love you the most,” Daniel said in a muffled voice. He could feel the joy overflowing in his heart. Jim held Daniel close to his chest. The two sat hugging like that for a while. Until Daniel was the first to break away from Jim's chest.

"Can you live with me for a while? I'll take you home later in the evening," Jim said. Daniel pursed his lips slightly but nodded in acceptance
