You Make My Life Sweeter(LGBT Short Story)

One

I have never imagined that one insult could change my life.

I closed my eyes to stop my tears. I was sitting in my meeting and seeing him was not helping either.

Why does he has to be the new CEO?

"Mr Bryan, if you are done with your daydream.. Can we start our presentation?"

His voice wasn't sweet and loving like it used to be. I looked up at him.

His Green eyes were cold. There was only hatred in his beautiful eyes.

It was Noah Jerome. The CEO of the multimillionaire company.

Meeting went really slow as it was like a living hell for me. It was not the same nerd and always scared Noah. He wasn't the boy in teens whom I have humiliated in front of whole school.

As soon as I finished my presentation work, I started to pack up my things. There's no way I'm going to work in this company anymore. I will seriously miss this place. It was like a second home to me.

I was busy doing my work at my not too huge but cozy office, when a blonde girl knocked on my door.

"Come in"

I said after wiping my fresh tears. I really don't know why was I even crying.

"Mr Jerome is calling you in his office"

Without even listening my reply,the Blondie left.

Of course he will call me. He wanted revenge for sure. He will humiliate me just like I have done to him.
I was ready too.

I was a stupid jerk who loved his reputation and bad boy image more then anything. I knew from the beginning that I'm gay but watching others calling gay peoples faggot or bad names,has really effected me.

I have dated him for like four months,secretly.
I know that my flirting with other girls ,sleeping around and pretending to hate him has hurt him.

I will make jokes at him with my so called friends.

I hated hurting him. Not because I was a gay too but only because I had fallen in love with him.

His kiss feels so right. Even his complaining was so sweet. I only wanted him.

But I was afraid of being judged. I was afraid of losing my reputation. I was afraid of everything.

I was a coward who didn't have even courage to come out and be with the only boy in my life.

I was playing game of football when Noah,the only love of my life has approached me with a gift wrapped box in his hand.

He was smiling at me. He looked like an angel whom god has created only for me.

I wanted to hug him.To kiss him. To feel his touch. I wanted to be his only.

But I didn't do any of it. I was with my friends. Or may I say I was being trapped with my insecurities.

He stood in front of me.

By now whole school has gathered around the field.

I got panicked. I didn't know what he was up to. Why in the first place he was there.

"I love you James"

Yes. I love you too Noah.

Too bad I couldn't tell him  this.

He was still smiling.

Pin drop silence.

My heart was throbbing against my chest. My lips wanted to smile. My hands wanted to hold him tight against me.
