The day was mild, not a cloud in the sky to be seen, would of been a perfect summer day if it wasn't for the fact that we had to travel for the rest of the day.

"You got everything?"

I turned around to look at the voice of Ray, a good friend of mine who was going on a trip with me to go see my brother, Gerard. It was just a few days into summer and me and Ray took some time off work so we could go visit Gerard. Gerard lived a town away, not exactly the most convenient for a visit but he lived there for better work, and probably some freedom from living with me.

"Mikey if you got everything would you mind giving me a hand? I can't exactly carry all this..."

'Oh, oh yeah. Sorry'

I ran over and grabbed a brown suitcase that he struggled to carry, he was carrying two other suitcases and a smaller bag, I tried to take the bag from him but him being the gentleman, inched it away claiming he was fine when you could tell he was struggling.

'You know, I can carry stuff too. I'm pretty strong.' I said with a small smile on my face.

"Yes, of course, the one who can barely even lift a chair without breaking a sweat is totally strong." He chuckled and smiled back.

I felt a slight bit of blush hit my face and laughed it off. I was no where near being strong, I can barely even lift my own luggage.

I chuckled at the thought and he sent me one of those dazzling smiles. Me and Ray have been sharing a apartment for a good three months now, we weren't dating or anything, just two good friends that couldn't find a decent living area so we moved in together. But for the past month and a half, damn, I've been crushing hard on him. I haven't built up the nerve yet to tell him because well.. I just got out of a relationship around the time I moved in, I'd say a week afterwards. It was a hard breakup, it turned out that the 'love of my life' was actually in love with another man. I was miserable for the rest of that month, Ray watched me break down in tears almost daily, if it wasn't for him I'm more than sure I'd still be crying about her. Everything I started tearing up he'd run over and talk me back some confidence. One time I cried for atleast two hours straight, and feeling pretty worthless, he stayed up all night watching movies with me and giving me small pep talks until I could actually make it ten minutes without breaking down.

And now, I had a crush on him.

At first I didn't even knew I liked guys. I only dated girls but, crap, everytime I saw him I got weak in the knees. I loved everything about him, his smile, his hair, his humor and just... everything.

I jumped into the passenger seat of the car, looking over to my left to see Ray jump in and start the car.

"Oh crap, we're a lot more late than I expected." Ray said while buckling up his seat belt and preparing to back out of the driveway.

'Frank is driving there himself right? Or are we picking him up?'

Ray chuckled, " He's already driving, he started this morning. I think he wants a little extra time with Gee. "
He said while winking his eye.

'Well by the time we get there they better be wearing pants atleast.'

Ray laughed and started to drive towards the road to the highway.
