His Redemption (MxM)

Chapter 39

Stefano

I had been standing here for a while, Luke hasn't come out yet, and I still haven't seen a sign of Hewitt or Matteo, I know they're still on the yacht, because we're deep in the middle of the sea, so there's no way they ditched.

I'm supposed to be angry, but more than that I'm hurt, and sad, and I feel used.
I trusted Luke again, I gave him another chance in my life, and this is how it ends.
I'm not bumbed that he's having sex, or hooking up with Hewitt, that's by the way, it's the fact that he never thought it wise to let me know that he was gay, after we both agreed we wouldn't keep any more secrets between us.

I clenched my jaw and sighed out heavily, I heard footsteps beside me and when I turned it was Matteo, with Hewitt right behind him, I growled out lowly as my eyes met his
"Teo ..." I called out warningly and Matteo just moved closer to me and wrapped his hand around mine

"Baby, he just wants to talk to you, hear him out" he whispered, my eyes moved from Matteo and landed on Hewitt

"Hear him out"? I growled out, feeling my pain turn into anger "what does he have to say to me"? I asked looking at Hewitt "what do you have to say to me? I'm disappointed in you Hewitt" I whispered out, hearing him suck in a harsh breath, I moved away from Matteo, taking a step closer to him, he just stood there unmoving, but at least he was looking at me
"You know I half expected this from Luke, but you.... Come on buddy, I thought we were friends, we were brothers..." I let out a shaky breath, swallowing the lump in my throat

"We are" he whispered and I just shook my head, shutting my eyes briefly

"Are we? Hewitt....you know everything about me, things I never thought I would share with anyone, you were the first to know, and...." I paused and sighed out, Matteo had long left, leaving us both, I didn't know what to say to him "why didn't you tell me? Did you not trust me enough"? I asked and he just started shaking his head

"No, no of course I trust you, I just .... I was... How was I supposed to tell you that I'm....." I cut him off.

"That you're gay"? I snapped, chuckling humorlessly "look at me Hewitt, I'm gay, my boyfriend is gay, my boyfriend's brother is gay, I'm surrounded by gay people and you thought yours would make me see you any different"? I asked and he just ran his hand down his face and sighed out heavily

"I'm sorry Stef, I wanted to tell you...."

"But what? Luke asked you not to"? I asked and he just bit his lips and shook his head

"Actually, I asked him not to tell you" he whispered and I just shut my eyes tight "this is all new to me, I was trying to figure shit out before I told you, I just ...." He paused, biting his lips

"Gay, bisexual, whatever it is that you are, it doesn't change anything between us, you're my best friend and I love you no matter what, I'm just disappointed you didn't think you could trust me enough to tell me, even though you know I wouldn't mind" I whispered before I faced the waters, resting my hand on the railing, I'm not mad at him, I'm not even angry that I caught him having his dick sucked by Luke, I'm just sad and kind of hurt that he couldn't come to me, he couldn't tell me that something like this was going on with him.

I felt him beside me before he rested his hand on the railing too, causing me to sigh out, the silence between us stretched, I know he wants to say something, but he's trying not to offend me
"How long"? I blurted out.

"Huh" he mumbled, looking at me

"How long has it been going on"? I asked and he just bit his lips and swallowed

"When you were in the hospital after you got shot" he muttered out and my eyes grew wide

"That long"? I asked and he nodded "that's like two, three months now"? I asked and he just nodded again, how the hell did I not notice, but I thought.....
"I thought you hated him"? I asked and he just shrugged
