Forever Shoey

Chapter 3

We arrive at my new house. I moved to a pretty big place, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen, a living room, and a dinning room that connects the kitchen and living room.

Joey: Make your self at home.

I smile at him, he smiles back. I plop my self on the couch and watch him look around at all the pictures. I play with my hair.

Shane: You were so cute!

He smiles, I giggle. He picks up a picture of me and my Mom. I start to get fidgety. I don’t like to talk about my mom to other people. He smiles and puts the picture back down, thank God!

Joey: Hey, I’m gonna go make us some drinks! You can just sit down or something.

Shane: Okay thanks!

Shane’s POV

Shane: Hey uh… Joey!

Joey: Yes?

Shane: Where’s the bathroom?

Joey: Down the hall right next to my bedroom.

Shane: Thanks!

I start walking down the hall, there’s Joey’s room. Should I go in? I walk in the room as quietly as I can, I look around a little bit and I look in his side table maybe for old pictures of us, nope just a mini mirror and condoms. Pleasant. I go in his closet, very organized, there’s a hand made book with the title “Him” on the cover. I open it; the first page is a journal entry,

“It’s been a week since he moved here. He’s attractive, he’s nice and smart.”

There’s no date just a sentence. Then there’s a sketch of a heart with a key in it. The next page has another sentence that says,

“My love for him will never fade. It will stay deep with in my heart. Forever.”

This one has a sketch of the word “love” engraved in a human heart. This is enough; I close the book and put it back where it was. I walk back out into the kitchen. Joey is now wearing skinny jeans instead of shorts.

Joey: Oh hey! Here’s your drink.

Shane: Thanks… Why the change of pants?

Joey: Oh, I got cold. Why are they ugly? I can change them!

Shane: No no it’s okay I was just confused.

I smile at him.

Joey’s POV

He knows I’m not cold its 75° in here. He’s not stupid. I’m skinny jeans because it makes my ass pop! I wanna get to know another side of Shane tonight.

Joey: So about what I said earlier today… I’m sorry I didn’t confess up to you that I was gay. I just didn’t want you to leave me, like us not being friends anymore. Because not only do I like you as a friend but I like more than that.      

Shane: Like I said before I would never leave you.

I smiled looking down at the drink in my hand.

___________________________________________________

I’ve gave him about 8 glasses of Vodka, I guess you could say he’s shitfaced. But I’ve got him right where I want him. He’s sitting on my couch and I’m sitting in this big comfy chair.

Joey: You know it is pretty hot in here.

He says slurring as he’s taking off his shirt. I growl at him. I get up move to the couch he’s sitting at and sit close to him.

I try taking my shirt off and pretend I can’t get it off.

Joey: Oh! Shane can you help me? I can’t get it off.

Shane: Well maybe you should wear such tight shirts!

He drunkly laughs at himself. He helps me take it off. I start kissing him again and stand up, I put one hand on his chest and other one his hip. As we are kissing I slowly move my hand down his chest towards his torso. Then move my hands lower and start palming him. He starts moaning.

Shane: Joey! I really do like you.

He stopped kissing and whispered. I stop everything I’m doing and look into his eyes. I look down at our feet that are touching; I look back up at him while smiling.

Joey: You do?

Shane: Yes, I’ve suddenly become attracted to you.”

He acted as if he hadn’t been drinking at all. We slowly lean in to give a gentle soft kiss; I close my eyes and put my hands on his hips. Our lips met and it was a very short romantic kiss.

Shane’s POV

Now something I haven’t told Joey is that I have… I have… I have a girlfriend. Lisa, I love Lisa but I have feelings for Joey as well. But I feel like me and Joey have more of a connection. I have to do what my guts telling me.

Shane: Joey…?

Joey: Yes?

Shane: Can I tell you something?

Joey: Anything.

Shane: It’s good and bad news.

Joey: Shane, stop bluffing just tell me.

Shane: *sighs* Okay the bad news… I have a girlfriend. But the good news is I’m leaving her for you.

He mouth dropped. His eye’s widened.

Joey: Shane…You would do that for me?

Shane: Yes Joey I would. You know why?

Joey: Why?

Shane: Because I always thought I liked girls but then when I met you everything changed I started to second guess myself. But the night we got drunk and had sex made me know that, this is who I am. I am who I am and nothing can change that. So I have to break up with Lisa who I thought I loved to go out with the one I love. You Joey.

He looked directly in my eyes and actually started to cry.

Shane: Joey, please don’t cry. I’ll leave if you want me too.    

Joey: No! Shane don’t leave please that’s the last thing I’d want you to do.

He wipes his eyes and runs towards me.

Joey: How are you going to tell Lisa?

Shane: I’m just going to tell her the truth.

I walk over to the couch and pull my phone out; Joey comes and sits next to me.
