More Than Just Roommates (Book 1)

8. Resting

~ Kyle

I knew it was a bad idea to say how I really felt out loud. Josh practically had a panic attack thinking about it, about having Jackson and Leo join us in sex. What was I thinking? That if Josh could accept it, I might be able to be with them too? How is that even sensible?

I'm just glad I was able to turn it into a joke.

I should be happy that I was with Josh. I had a boyfriend. I actually had a boyfriend, not a girlfriend this time. And he liked me just as much as I did him, at least, I hoped so. Sometimes I felt that we were moving too fast, just a week ago I had first kissed him. And now we were here with him giving me the best blow job of my life.

I needed to return the favor soon. He needed to feel the same pleasure he had given me, and I needed to show him that I was absolutely serious about him.

But we had no more time.

I was brought out of my thoughts when Josh pulled away from me. He looked to the door just as it opened. I hadn't even heard it being unlocked.

Jackson walked in first, and held open the door for Leo and his parents. Leo had his arm in a ridiculous looking cast and sling. I could tell already that he was going to constantly complain about it.

"Hey, guys," Josh said, a huge smile on his face. "How ya been?"

Leo scowled. "I'm going to hurt you, Reynolds. Don't joke."

Josh raised his hands in surrender, but still smiling. "Just messing with you." He lowered his hands. "Hi Mr. and Mrs. Graham."

They replied with polite 'hellos" as they moved into the room. Jackson led Leo over to the couch and told him to sit.

"Dude, I'm fine, quit babying me."

I wondered briefly if they had told Leo's parents about them. If they had, they were definitely okay with it.

Mrs. Graham stepped forward, holding onto a bag. It looked like Leo's gym bag. "Hey, sweetie, I'm going to put your bag on your bed, okay?"

He looked up her. "Yeah, thanks, Mom."

As she left the room, Mr. Graham walked over to Josh and me. "How are you boys doing? I haven't see you in a while." He shook both of our hands.

"We're doing good, sir," I said. I always felt the need to be so formal around him, and I didn't know why.

"How's school?"

"Well, we're passing," Josh said, smiling. "and that's good enough."

He laughed at that. "True enough. What about dating? Girls? Boys?" He looked at Josh when he asked about the boy part. I didn't blame him, why would he think I was gay too?

Josh and I looked each other briefly before back at Mr. Graham. We both nodded, and luckily, he didn't push any farther.

"Good, good. You're taking good care of them, right?"

"Of course," Josh said at the same time that I said, "Yes, sir."

"Good." He patted us both on the back and walked over to his son, who had just called him.

~ Jackson

I saw Leo's dad talking to Josh and Kyle. They seemed a bit uncomfortable, I wondered what they were talking about. The two were standing far apart, which was weird to see, considering this past week they've practically been inseparable.

I moved attention back to Leo when he starting getting up. I quickly sat down on his lap. "Stay sitting, please?" I asked him softly.

He rolled his eyes. "What if I have to pee? Am I just supposed to go here?"

"I can get you an empty water bottle."

"Gross! Dad!"

We both looked up as he approached us. Behind him, I saw Kyle and Josh move a step closer to each other, but still not couple close. Did they not want the Grahams to know about them?

"What are you boys up to? Shouldn't you wait until after your mother and I leave to have sex? And possibly your roommates?"

I blushed and tucked my head into Leo's neck. I felt so awkward. My parents would never joke around like that, especially in front of other people.

"Dad!" Leo complained over my head. "I just have to pee, and Jackson won't let me get up!"

"Now boys," Mrs. Graham said, walking back into the room. "What's going on here?"

Leo just groaned again. I still hadn't lifted my head up. I didn't want to.

"Jackson, can't you leave him alone for one minute?" That was Kyle. Now I did lift up my head to look at him. He was standing with his arms crossed over his chest. "I'm sure you'll both manage."

"Yeah," Leo said. "I can pee by myself, thank you very much."

I sighed, knowing they were right. I just worry sometimes. I kissed Leo on the lips quickly before standing up, then helped him to his feet.

It was really cute seeing Jackson get all embarrassed because of Leo's dad. I mean, it was easy to be embarrassed by him. At least he already knew I was gay, but I felt bad for Kyle. When were we going to come out as a couple to other people, besides Leo and Jackson? Probably after Kyle is able to come out to his own parents. They were on the stricter side, so who knows how they'll take it.

Soon enough, though, Leo's parents left us alone, but not before mentioning to Kyle and I not to let their "loviness" get too bad. Mr. Graham actually said that. It wasn't even a real word. At least, I didn't think it was.

If only they knew how bad it could really get with Kyle and I going at it too. At least we weren't all doing it together, like Kyle jokingly said earlier. That was still on my mind. Why had he said it? I mean, I can't say I haven't noticed how attractive they are. But a foursome? That's just out of the question. Right?

"Who's up for some dinner?" Leo said, walking out of the bedroom, where he had been 'resting'. His parents had left about an hour ago, and he and Jackson had been in there since. Kyle and I were stuck out here, working on the homework we didn't get done earlier because we were too focused on Leo. And each other. I really wanted to taste him again like that.

Focus. Leo was talking. Food.

I looked up at him. His lips were slightly swollen and his cheeks were flushed. Yep, definitely not resting.

"Are you cooking?" I asked sarcastically.

"Yep." His lifted his good arm to reveal his cell phone. "It's called ordering pizza. You guys in?" He looked back and forth between Kyle and me.

"Duh," the two of us said at the same time. I looked over at my boyfriend and grinned. He was smiling back at me. I still couldn't believe he was mine. It was just too good to be true.
