Wander Lost

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 (James's POV)

He kissed me. He seriously kissed me. Jared Kissed Me. Why? Why did my best friend kiss me? Again? He said he wanted to. For what? Does he like me? Maybe a little. Maybe he was abducted by aliens and they replaced him with a gay Jared to trick me into going to their space ship. No! I will never fall weak. Okay, I'm not that nerdy. He's just trying to be an ass hole like always.

"What was that for?" I asked after he pulled away, breathless. I shoved him away and crawled into the driver's seat, wanting to put some distance between us. But, as always, Jared just comes closer. And closer. And closer. So close that I can feel his breath on my face.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't stop myself.. It was just an experiment.. James? I'm a closet bisexual." Jared mumbled and looked away, moving back further. Now it was my turn to come closer.

"You're what?" I raised an eyebrow and gave him that 'holy crap' look. He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye, then looked away again.

"I just wanted to see if the attraction went any further than looking. I'm bisexual, James. After kissing you and Lo-" Jared started, but I cut him off- shocked that he had kissed another guy.

"What!? Whoa!? You kissed another dude? Who?" I gave him my boggled eyes and let my mouth drop a little, ignoring the small little piercing feeling that shot through my heart when I found out that I wasn't his first male kiss.

"Uh.. Logan?" He rubbed the back of his head and neck before looking over at me.

"My cousin?" I blinked repeatedly, making it seem as if I were just shocked but I was honestly blinking back the tears.

"Err.. Yeah. He slapped me and told me to kiss someone that I actually give a crap about." Jared looked around, trying not to meet my eyes, and I couldn't help the small smile that rose to my face. That means he gives a crap about me,

"Hmm hm. So, why me, then?" I asked, just to see how he cared about me. In what way.

"Because you're my best friend, doofus. I give a crap about you." He lightly punched my shoulder and I shook my head and rolled my eyes.

"I think," I started out slowly, "When Logan said 'someone you give a crap about', he meant 'someone you are attracted to'." I nodded, slowly, and looked away, putting the key in the ignition and starting the car. We were on the road for a whole ten minutes before Jared spoke up again.

"Let's go out tonight. You and me. Out. You know? Like, let's go downtown into the city and go clubbing. I'll even go to a few gay clubs for you. How's that sound?" Jared gave me that 'come on man!' look and I laughed.

"You don't have to take me to a gay club." I looked over at him and he winked.

"It's no problem. Least I could do for messing up the past two days." He nudged my arm. "So how about it? Some food, some clubs, gay for you, and a little partying!" He laughed and my heart was still fluttering from that damn wink.

"Oh, fine." I gave in and he started cheering.

"Hey! Do you think 'Dr. Drill' has a CD for bisexuals?" He joked and I glared at him playfully.

"Shut up." I mumbled and pulled into the dirt area next to an abandoned basketball court.

"It was just a question." He gave me this fake hurt look and I laughed.

"Just grab the balls and let's go." I started to get out, but he gave me this panicked look so I stopped.

"What, Jared?" I looked at him with a slightly annoyed expression and he winked again.
