The Stories We Told

Is it wrong to love you?

"Just because you don't like me, doesn't mean you don't like men..." he said. No I'm not like you, I'm not. I can't be, I'm a man. Right?!
I left his office enraged. I didn't know what to think anymore. Here he was standing in front of me telling me I would prefer a man on my bed then a woman. I mean, sure I have never been in love with a woman nor have I ever sleep with one. But that doesn't mean I'm into men. Right? I had finally reached my apartment and threw my things by the sofa.
'He's wrong he has to be...' the thought kept going around my head, 'he has to be wrong, right?' My sister must have heard all the ruckus because within a few seconds she was infront of me and I heard her ask,"You're home early, did something happen?" I looked up at her and manged a fake smile. I can't have her worrying about me. She's my little sister and she wouldn't understand. "I'm fine Elizabeth. I just got out of work early,that's all." She sighed and smiled,"That's good." My mom made her way towards me and gave me a strange look. 'Shit...she's on to me.' I smiled, "I'm going to go work on some paperwork." I quickly excused myself and went to my room . My mom hasn't been the same, not after my dad left us behind. She felt betrayed, heart broken and devastated. How could the man she loved for so many years leave her...and on top of that for another man. Yes you heard correctly, my dad left us for another man. I was only 10 years old and my sister was only 3. After my dad left, we didn't see him again and my mom made sure that I grew up to become a true man. As I thought of the past my mind went back to him, Arthur, my boss. How am I supposed to work with him now? I can't quit, my family needs money. We need to pay bills and my mother isn't capable of working anymore, she has reached her limit. As I thought of this I heard a knock at my door. I wondered who it could be and went to open it. It was my little sister, I smiled and asked what she needed. "You forgot this," she handed me my briefcase. "How are you suppose to do paperwork without your stuff?" She smiled and walked into my room. Noticing how quite I had gotten my sister said "Ok, tell me the truth what's going on? What happened?" I tried to tell her that everything was fine but she wouldn't give up. After about an hour of driving me insane I finely gave in, "Alright, alright I'll tell you. Just promise me you won't freak out you'll call attention to us and last thing I want is mom worrying...or possibly worse." I whispered the last part and took a deep breath as I tried thinking of a way to explain my situation. I sighed and began "My boss was acting strange today. He said some strange things." I stayed quiet as I thought of wether to tell her the rest or not, I decided not to. "I'm pretty sure he was drunk because he said I could go home early. I was a bit worried since I wasn't sure if I should leave a drunk man alone." She looked at me with a dumbfound expression, "That's it?" I nodded and stood up taking out my work and placing it on my desk. "You could've just told me about it...hm..but why did it take you time to explain to me such a simple thing?" Crap, she is really smart. I quickly thought of an excuse. "I wasn't sure how to mention the fact that my boss was drunk while working to my little sister." She laughed and said, "I'm not that little. But if that's really all that happened I guess I'll leave you alone." She giggled and hugged me before leaving me with my thoughts again. What am I suppose to do?
It was morning already and I was getting ready for work. Last night I couldn't sleep with the thought of having to work for Arthur the next day. I sighed as I walked out of my house and headed off to work. Today was going to be a long day.
Upon arriving to work Arthur told me we had to talk. I was a bit scared and wondered wether I'd need a new job. "Please sit," I sat down and tried not to make to much eye contact. He took a deep breath and continued, "I don't want to make to you uncomfortable  with what I said yesterday. It was wrong to approach you in the matter that I did. I was just a bit curious and wanted to know if you went that way but if you insist you are straight and a macho then I want to make a deal with you." He stayed quiet for a second and continued, "Spend one night with me. One night, that's all I ask for. And if you don't like it I'll get you another job somewhere else. You won't have to work for me or have to deal with me ever again." I looked at him shocked. "So what do you want me to just make this deal with you?" He looked me straight in the eyes,"You don't have to..." he smiled,"But you'll have to deal with me and knowing how uncomfortable your are just being in the same room with me right now..."  I inturpted him. "Fine..." and without thinking I had agreed to his stupid deal. Which explains why I'm wrapped around in a blanket, without any clothes and with my boss's nude body sleeping next to me. Damn I was an idiot but I'll have to admit...it wasn't bad. I smiled to myself as I thought of last night's occurrence. Wait hold on, when had I become like this? Was it last night? Oh God and I also completely forgotten about my mother...what would she think of me? She will probably disown me if she ever found out that this happened. I tensed up and stopped thinking when I felt Arthur's hands make their way through my body. His lips suddenly kissed my bare shoulder and he slowly made his way to the crook of my neck. "I know you're awake." I smiled, thank God I had my back to him because if not he would have seen me red as a tomato. I turned around and quickly pecked his cheek then sat up. He grabbed my hand stopping me as I tried getting out of bed. I looked at him confused but he simply said, "Where are you going?" He looked confused and really worried. I simply smiled reassuring him and said "I have to call home I don't want to make my mother worried." He sighed relieved and let go of my hand then smiled, "Well then I guess I'll get ready and make breakfast. Is there anything you would perfer?" He asked while putting a pair of sweat pants on. "No, I'll have whatever you'll have." He looked back at me and smiled, "Alright I'll make something quick then and after you're done calling home you can use the bathroom..." he pointed at a door on the other side of the room. "Here," he handed me clothes and said, "hopefully they aren't too big." And with that he made his way out of his room.
After calling my mother and taking a quick shower I went into the kitchen. Arthur and I had started eating breakfast when he asked how my mother was. "How is she? From what I understand she is sick but is she doing better?" I got a bit upset, "To be honest she isn't doing well she has heart problems and her health is getting worse day by day." I sighed, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to get you upset." Arthur said."It's ok." I replied and began eating again."What would your mother think of us? Would she be ok with it?" I looked down,"No, she wouldn't be ok with it. In fact she would be completely against it. And if we even tried convincing her somehow she will probably pass out or worse." He nodded and sighed, "Yeah you are right...so do we just keep this between us?" I was so upset I didn't want him thinking that I didn't like him nor did I want my mother dying because of another betrayal. "Hey it's fine with me if we keep this hidden. If it really worries you I'll go along with it. Would you like that?" I looked up at him and nodded. "I think we should keep this to ourselves." He smiled,"Alright if it's what you wish I'll do it." I smiled, "Thank you."
That's how our story began. Every time we had a chance to meet up we took it. I had changed that night and it was thanks to him. That promise we made each other to keep our secret hidden was forever kept and I am happy to this day.
