Meant To Be

Chapter 6

-Shawn

I woke up the next morning with Jamal still laying on my chest, looking peaceful. I stayed for a few minutes and just stayed listening to his calm breathing. I carefully got up and managed not waking him up as I went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth with the spare tooth brush.

After I was finished I went to the kitchen to make some breakfast for Jamal. I opened the fridge and noticed that he recently went grocery shopping. I grabbed all the stuff that I needed to make breakfast for him.

I finished after a good 30 minutes then set all the foods on the tray. I made him eggs with bacon and pancakes, with some strawberries and orange juice. Then brought it to his room.

I sat the tray on the bed and tried to wake up Jamal.

"Jamal wake up" I said as I shaked him.

" What" he said while groaning

"Can you wake up please?" I asked him nicely, so he wouldn't be mad, cause he's always grumpy in the morning.

"Yes Shawn, I'm up" he said with an attitude as he rubbed his eyes and yawned.

I grabbed the tray and showed him it, "I made you breakfast" he looked at me then the tray.

"Thank you" he said as he got up to go brush his teeth.

He came back a few minutes later and sat down and started to eat.

"Did you eat ?" He asked me

" Nope I just made breakfast for you"

"Well you know I can't eat all of this food so come eat with me" he said while pushing the plate in the middle and handing me the fork.

"Feed me" I said smirking.

He giggled "OK"

He took the fork and took some pancakes and leaned in to put it in my mouth and I let him.

-
We finished our food, then I took the dirty dishes in the sink. I washed them then dried the plates off and then put them back in the cabinets.

I went to Jamal in the living room and sat next to him.

He looked at the time then got up.

Where are you going? I asked him.

I have to get ready to go to the office. He said then turned around and proceeded to his room.

I got up and started walking behind him, and I started staring at his ass, and I just wanted to grab it, cause that shit was jiggling a little bit, but that would be wrong cause he's my best friend, and I'm not gay.

"Why are you following me?" He said once he entered his room.

"Cause I can"

I ran towards him then lifted him up, and threw him on the bed.

"Shawn stoppp!!" He screamed with laughter as he fell on the bed.

I jumped on top of him then started to tickle him.

"Shawn your gonna make me peeee!!!" He screamed while attempting to move my hand.

I stopped then he ran to the bathroom.

He came out a minute later.

" Why are you so childish?" He asked as he went in the closet.

"I don't know" I told him as he grabbed an outfit threw it on the bed.

" Anyways are you staying here, or leaving when I leave?" He started to take off his shirt throwing it in the dirty basket.

"I'm going with you"

"Ummm going with me where?" He stopped and looked at me.

"To the office obviously" I said as I took off my pants and left my briefs on.

" okay" he turned around quickly grabbed his towel and rushed to the bathroom.

I'm standing here trying to figure out why he was in a rush all of a sudden, I walked to the bathroom and opened the door, to see Jamal just standing there, with tears in his eyes.

" Jamal what's wrong?" I asked him as I hugged him from the back.

"I don't know TBH" he said as he wiped the few tears.

"I love you, OK so just go get ready and I'll be upfront waiting for you" I turned him around and kissed his forehead, then left.

- Jamal

I started crying cause Shawn was just so fine and I couldn't do shit to him cause he was straight and it hurts me.

I got in the shower to clear my mind and tried to relaxed my body.

I got out 20 minutes later dried myself then I went in the room and got ready.

After another 20 minutes later I was done, I walked upfront to Shawn and he was ready also.

"Let's go" he said.

"Wait can you get my laptop and briefcase in the other room please?" I asked him as I walked in the kitchen to get some water.

He went and got it but then I realised I still haven't had my phone. I looked for it then found it under some papers on the other counter. I checked my messages and I had lots from Shawn, a few from James, some from work, and 20 missed calls from Shawn, and 2 from my mom.

Why would my mom be calling me, I thought, I'll call her later.

"Let's go Jamal"

We left the house and went to the parking lot.

" Are you going to follow me" I asked Shawn.

"Nope, I'll drive you in mine" he grabbed my hand and brought me to his car.

"OK"

- Later that day.

Shawn has been nice to me throughout this whole day. He got me lunch, he drove me places, and now he is driving me home.

"Shawn why are you being so nice?" I asked him.

"Cause I'm a good bestfriend." He said smiling.

"Hmmmmm"

We got home and I went up to my condo and Shawn didn't let me take anything with me, I could get use to all this treatment I thought.

We got inside and I went to take off my clothes.

I came out after a few and Shawn was sitting down watching TV.

"Shawn why aren't you going home yet?"

He paused and took his eyes off the TV, then looked at me.

"Cause I want to spend some time with you kid" he finally said.

I was about to respond but my phone interrupted me.

"Hello" I answered without looking at who it was.

"Jamal I haven't heard from you in like weeks, how are you and why you never called your own mother."

"Hey, mom I'm sorry I'm just been so busy lately with work." Getting up from the couch.

Hmmm you should never be to busy to give your own mother a call, but anyways I called to tell you I'm having a little get together with all my kids and your allowed to bring one guess.

"So when is it?"

It's tomorrow at 8, I tried to tell you sooner but you never answered your phone.

"OK I'll be there."

"Alright love you, bye."

"Love you to mom, bye." I said then hung up.

"Shawn do you want to go to a dinner at my moms place?"

"What time?" He asked

"At 8 tomorrow" I said hoping that he would come.

"Sure"

"Thanks Shawn I really appreciate." I said while I hugged him.

"Anything for you" he laughed.
