Till We Meet Again (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 1

“I can’t believe you’re leaving in two days” Kae groaned. She is my best friend and all time companion since fifth grade.

 We have so much in common it’s like we are one person. We even shower together sometimes. People always think we are a couple, even both our parents think we are dating. But the thing is, she's bisexual, her parents knew that, and had girlfriends before. I like to think I'm Bi too, but I’m gay,  I had girlfriends before too but never felt that sort of connection.

I always eyed men, heck even dream about them or look at them naked...by that taught, I therefore conclude that I'm definitely gay, so bye to the cat and hello to the cock. I'm still hiding in the comforts of the closet though and of course Kae is the only who knows .

 “I know, but I have no choice” I replied with a sigh. She handed me her smoke to have a puff, and I gave it back to her after.

“The whole family is moving, I even beg them to let me stay since we are attending college this incoming semester” I added.

She took another puff from the cigarette before she threw the butt on the bin. “argh...!, your parents should stop treating you like a kid” she uttered in frustration.

I looked at her and smiled, “well every parent is, it’s their job”, I joked, and well be both laughed.

She cupped my face and look at me straight in the eye, I can see hers as well and looks shiny with tears starting to build up. “I’m so gonna miss your faggy ass” she said half smiling as she tried to suffocate me with her hug.

“ditto my lil’ bitch... ditto”, I replied as I return her hug and kiss her in the forehead. We broke off the hug and I wiped her tears from her cheeks. “you’re such a cry baby”.

“haha...funny” she countered but kept on smiling.

“we better get inside, people might be looking for you, it’s your farewell party Mr.-leave-my-fiend-behind-to-go-to-another-country”, she said as she stood from the couch placed in the patio, so did I and followed her inside the house.

“Remind me again why we had to have my farewell party at Luke’s house?” I asked as we enter the room.

“First, this was sudden, you know how our friends plan things. Second this place is the only available one since Luke’s sister who used to live here is still in London, so we can use her place for parties and stuff, well that’s what Luke said” She explained.

“K...!” I replied.

“I hate it when you reply one word or letter after I said a bunch of things”. She scolded.

“Sorry,... by the way thanks for the party I’m really going to miss all of you guys, some people are missing though” I replied as I try to look at the group of friends we have drinking, eating, dancing, chatting and laughing all over the place.

“Yeah I know, they can’t come since they have work, others have things to do, and some are busy rushing school requirements and stuff.” She answered with a sigh.

“Well at least most of the people I wanted to see are here, and that’s good enough for me” I whispered next to her ear sp no one  well hear what I’ve just said.

We went straight to the kitchen to grab some drinks and join the others playing card games in the middle of the living room. They are playing this kind of game which is really confusing but so much fun when you know how to play it, everyone seems to be enjoying their selves. The loser gets to have a shot of whatever liquor is on the table and the winner get’s the pot money from the bets.

In the midst of the game, Jake arrived introducing Gab his girlfriend, we all said hi to both of them while Jake patted me on the back, “It sucks that your leaving man, we’ll miss you lots though” he said to me as I stood up from the chair.

“Where’s Liam, I thought he was coming wi-“ I was about to finish asking him when the person questioned appeared holding up couple more bottles of liquor. He was wearing this skin tight black muscle shirt which shows his toned muscles and was smiling with the most gorgeous dimple ever.  It’s like I’m having one of my gay dreams again when he suddenly hugged me and rested his chin on my left shoulder.

The hug alone made the blood rise up to my cheeks. I was waiting for him to break the hug, but I must have counted ten mississippi’s before he let go. Then gave me a kiss on the cheek.

The kiss made me froze in my position until Kae snapped me back when she bumped me on my shoulder as she stood up to get the liquor that Liam was holding. “Yehey mojito!” she rejoiced as she took them and placed them on the pile of liquor on the countertop.

“Ivo?”, Liam said. “ are you ok?” he asked.

“Oh he’s fine we’re all having a blast, here have a drink and join us, we are playing the in-between game” Kae replied handling him a bottle of beer.

“Cool, I love that game...come on Ivo”, he laughed as he took my hand and sat beside me and Kae.

I’m still in shock from the out of the blue kiss on the cheek and I think Kae took notice of my reaction. I can’t seem to concentrate on the game since I kept on replaying the incident in my head, he never did that to me before. Sure we hugged before but it was over before you can say a word, and that kiss... Oh god that kiss on the cheek, I can still feel my cheeks burning up and smell his sent that lingered on my clothes. The manly boyish scent that makes you want to stick your nose and sniff the aroma til it’s gone.

What the hell is going on with me, my heart is still beating so fast, I might as well have a heart attack. I kept on glancing on Liam being mesmerised by his laugh and those dimples.

He caught me once but he just smiled back.
