Mine For A Moment

Chapter 22

Lonzo

I woke up to Kayon out front arguing with someone. I stood up trying to give my body time to adjust before taking a step. I peeped out the window and saw Micky. He wasn't too happy. Kayon was leaning against the car with his arms folded as Micky scolded him. I've known Kayon long enough to realize he did actually feel bad and was sorry.

Micky threw his hands up like he was defeated and Kayon reached for him and he gave in. They were hugging. I closed the blinds, I shouldn't be imposing on them. After a few more minutes there was a slight knock and both of them came inside. Micky smiled up at me. "I'm sorry to hear about the shot you been dealing with, you don't deserve that."

"Thanks Micky, and look if you going to be mad at someone, be mad at me. Kayon just came because I have no one else, and doesn't it give me a right to call him, but he really just talked with me and set with me."

"He explained everything and it's not easy knowing you both have such a strong friendship but in a way it's beautiful. I just just want my feelings to be considered, that's all. But you aaight with me Lonzo."

"You are with me too."

We had breakfast together and Micky gave us both some advice on how he was able to overcome people finding out. He said everyone is never going to be okay with everything you do, and don't let that stop you. Then he said we could all share his mom and dad, they were very supportive of him. He even FaceTimed them and they gave us air hugs and kisses. They said we were all so young and didn't need all the pressures of this world, just make good grades and be around people who make our souls feel good. Micky was loved.

After about 2:00pm they both told me goodbye, Kayon had to go to work. Micky gave me a tight hug and whispered. "You gonna be okay, it gets better"
That made me smile. I waved them bye.

"So you read about history for fun?" I asked Chris.

"Yeah, I like to consume as much knowledge as possible, you can never know too much." I smiled at him and he smiled back. "Thank you for seeing a second time."

"Thank you? Why thank you?"

He shrugged. "I never usually make it to a second date, once they realize I'm not giving it up. I don't even believe most of these guys are actually gay, I think they just wanna play out a fantasy or just have sex."

"You have a bunch of DL niggas in your inbox?"

"Yeah, and then I'm threatened to not tell anyone as if that makes me want to be involved with them."

"They threaten you?"

"At least once a month." He laughed. "I'm used to it and I just ignore them for the most part."

"If they are scared of someone finding out, why do they want to beat you up? I never got that,"

"Not sure, it's insecurities and the judgment from society. I think more men would be gay or bisexual, if they knew their friends were secretly thinking about it too." Chris placed his hands between his legs. "Like I said, most of them just want to try it and move on."

"Are you cold?"

" a little. I have low iron and hate taking my iron pills because they make me nauseous."

I reached behind me on the couch and handed him a blanket. "Here,"

"Thank you," he opened it and quickly covered himself.

"I only had one experience with a guy, sexually and then I kissed you but that's it."

His face lit up, he was intrigued. "Oh, and how was that?"
