My Boyfriend Is a Liberal Arts Student (BoyXBoy)

Chapter 26 Brand New

-J.P.-

I had barely gotten any sleep last night. The same thoughts, the same anxieties wouldn't stop running through my head. Like counting sheep but no sleep came out of it. If I kept this up, I was bound to start getting chest pains. Or worse.

Hair loss!

Tyler never showed up. That was the other half of the reason. I needed to warn him. Someone had to. Simon was ok, in fact, passed out on Tyler's bed. I didn't bother removing any of his clothes partly because I had no desire to. The rest was all from Michael's leer's, every time I thought about.

Possessiveness wasn't something I found as a turn on. No, possessiveness from what I'd seen usually always turned ugly, ending with heart break. I knew this for a fact because I was always the one on the sidelines watching people hook up and break up. So I took notes. A lot of notes.

I never bothered to correct the big beef, felt there was no need to. At least now I understood one thing, just because we were mated that didn't mean we knew each other inside and out. Communication was key, and we were going to have to talk about this sometime down the line.

If we ever got there.

So I zoned in and out sleep every hour expecting to find Tyler here, wondering why his brother was on his bed, and then use the excuse to sleep in his boyfriends. I'd have to break the news. It wouldn't feel good. For some reason I thought we'd finally be safe again. I thought we could all relax, feel good again. The killer was caught, the end right?

Now we had a bigger problem. Through the grapevine after Michael's friend arrived distressed, and unfortunately looking upon Ophelia with some light (and confusion with a pinch of anger at not getting her own revenge) in her eyes, these new wolves were here to stay a while. No, they could not saunter back the way they came. Silently either. The sister Styx and the brother (found out he was the eldest of the three) were going to be attending here. I also hated to think the worst of even the worst of them because I'd already met those. I felt there was still a hidden agenda coming from Ophelia.

No one knew, and it was killing me not knowing. Did she really plan to take over? Would Michael get fired? Would Tyler and I have to leave? Did she know anything about Tyler? ...Maybe she did? That would mean Julian would have to leave too, because, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Julian was a friend yes, but there wasn't like, a bunch of bonding moments spent together. Though I knew the arguments that would come up in the future if we had to leave.

Julian wasn't rolling in cash any more than I was. Sure Tyler would be willing to pay, but Julian was no kept husband (just like me! Yay!). He wouldn't care for it. Sure he'd know it would be the smart thing to do. But that wouldn't mean he'd like it. He didn't come across as the kind of guy that liked to be indebted to anyone.

Bah! Couples and their problems. They can all keep them if you ask me. I think I had more than enough on my plate as it was. I was going to have to be real careful about what I did around here from now on. Meaning I was going to have to watch my back.
