The Fate we Brought Ourselves

The First Attraction

Gareki sat at the dinner table, with his head resting in his hand. the other picking at his food with a fork in annoyance. Yet again his parents were nagging him about the way he acted. There was nothing wrong with him. Nothing that he had seen. His parents were the nagging type, every singal thing that he did they would nag about it.

He sighed. he didn't see what the problem was. He was an 18 year old in collage. His 19th birthday was next month. He would be moving out into his first home in a apartment close to his new job. He would be working at a bar for night hours and day hours. And he had just recently bought a Mercedes. He would have thought his parents would be proud of how fast he had his future situated. But of course not. He had one problem though.

But it was more of a secret and a problem altogether. He was shocked when he first found out about it. He was gay. For 5 years he had kept it to himself,not telling his parents. He was 13 when he had a first boyfriend, But he had to move away to a different city. Telling his parents this would really bring shame to the family. Mainly because his mother and father had wanted him to marry a girl that they had picked out.

Gareki had met her more then once. She was 17 years old. she had dark brown hair and dark grey eyes. She was pretty. But gareki didn't have an interest to be boyfriend and girlfriend. He had explained to her in private that he was gay. She was the only person he had told, and she didn't make fun of him she understood what he was going threw. her name was Airi and both of them were close friends. It felt like they were brother and sister at times.

Gareki didn't really have a crush on any guys in town, But that was about to change.

It had been a year. One simple year. He was now 19 years old. The morning started like any other. Shower, Brush teeth , get dressed, eat breakfast, grab car keys and drive to work. And later on he would have to drive to college.

Looking out side his Mercedes window he saw it was about to rain. Stepping his foot onto the gas pedal he drove forward. Gareki worked at a bar. He worked morning hours up to 10:00 am and his night shifts were up to 10:00 pm. Sure enough it was a lot to put in since he had college 2:00 pm. Luckily he was free on the weekends.

A few minutes later he was at the bar. After parking his car he walked up the side walk towards the door. Behind him he heard a car honk. Turning around he saw Airi's jeep in the park way. After she parked it she walked over saying hey.

hey. Gareki smiled. Airi decided to work with him at the bar, she had been dreaming of working at a bar for a while. she was now 18.

Did you hear about the new library they have across the street. I heard they have technical books in now. she said

As always you know that about me. Gareki said.

Of course, you've been wanting a library with technical study books in them for so long. It's about time that they put those in. Especially since you have a test coming up in your technology class. she said.

Your right. I'm going to check it out later. After work. Gareki said opening the door of the bar. They both went inside.

The bar was a popular one. And the inside was amazing. once you opened the door the bar counter went strait touching the other side of the wall. The counter was made of black wood the chairs were high seats with A light Blue on the back. The sealing lights were hanging down over each table. The tables were made of black wood also. The seating chairs were black chairs with a red cushion. the floor of the bar was black and white tile. the paint on the walls was a deep red color.

It was a nice place for teenagers to go. Most of the people that came here were teenagers or they were in there 20s or 30s. The bar was mainly for younger ages.
