Want You (BoyxBoy)

I ended up staying up past midnight, trying to find something to do for tomorrow. We don't really have shit in this town. There's a movie theater, but we just watched a movie last night. Well, I did anyway. Kind of. Having him leaned up against me distracted me a little bit. There's a bowling alley, but I don't know if he even likes bowling. Then there's a skating rink, but again, I don't know if he likes it or even knows how to. The only intriguing thing I saw was a place that does laser tag. And it was the straightest thing I could find for a date that's not supposed to look like a date.

But I don't even get the chance to suggest it when I read the text he sends me in the morning. It immediately bums me out.

'Hey. I can't hang out today.'

'Oh. How come?'

'My dad came back home because his work trip got delayed. He's wanting to spend the day together.' Oh, well, if that's the case...

'Oh, okay. That's fine then. I hope you have fun.'

'I'm sorry.'

'Don't be sorry. We'll hang out some other time. Just enjoy the day with your dad.' I tell him.

'Okay. I will.'

'I'll be thinking about you.' I send, wanting him to know.

He doesn't respond after that, and I make a mental note not to text him anymore since he'll be with his dad. And then I flop back against my pillows, letting a long groan out. I guess I'm spending the day moping.

An hour into it, I hear a knock on my door, and the only person that shows up without notifying me is Wes, so I get a little excited as I go to answer. But I'm a little let down when I see it's Maya.

"Ouch. You could act a little excited to see me."

"When am I ever?" I ask, stepping to the side to let her in.

"Double ouch. I came for comfort, but maybe I should just leave. It doesn't seem like you're giving any out today."

I furrow my brows, instantly letting concern take over. "What's wrong?"

"So, you know how I got arrested after Thanksgiving?" I nod, remembering her telling me how she got caught for fucking Alyx in her car. I told her she shouldn't have done it, but she argued that they weren't even in a public place but in some woods. They still got caught, though. "Well, Alyx's mom has hated me ever since. I just ate dinner with them this week and apologized, and everything was all fine and dandy. But..."

"What'd your dumbass do?" I ask, lifting my brow.

She lets a huff out and plops down on my couch. "It was an accident," she whines. "I went over there last night when I wasn't supposed to and smoked with him. We ended up falling asleep after, and it fell off the bed. Then his mom came home early, and I forgot about it in the process of sneaking back out."

"And she found it?"

"She found it," she confirms with a grimace. "I fucked up big time. She started yelling at me, calling me a junkie and shit."

"For weed?"

"She's a cop."

"Oh, shit." I didn't know Alyx was a cop's kid.

"But she kept screaming at me and threatening me, and I just got so mad that I..."

"What'd you do?"

"Well, I wanted to knock her on her ass, but I wasn't going to do that to his mom. So I told her I slept with Alyx on her couch." My mouth falls open some. "Raw," she adds, making it drop even more.
