McLovin' [BoyxBoy] [Completed]

Chapter Six

“Woohoo! Finally, time to close up.”

I grinned at Mandy as she closed her cash counter. I began shutting my cash counter too when the door jingled.

“I’m sorry but we’re clos-”

I broke off when I saw none other than Julian walk in. Mandy giggled, “He’s all yours.” Saying so, she quickly slipped into the storage room. I never told Mandy I was gay but I guess, after working together for this long, she had her suspicions.

As Julian strode towards me, I felt my heart thumping like crazy. I knew he was gay. He had to be! He was Hannah’s brother and she TOLD me her brother was gay. As I looked at him in his baggy jeans and huge hoodie, I frowned in disappointment. Oh boo, why was he all covered up?

He leaned on the counter, looking dead tired. He peeked up at me from under his eyelashes.

“I need something to keep me going.”

Before I could say anything, he clenched his fists and looked at me, “I know that you know.”

I froze and took a tiny step back. He straightened up to his full height and looked at me, waiting. I squeaked, “Know what?”

Julian slammed his fists into the counter, “GODDAMIT KENTUCKY. I did not deal with telling my team for NOTHING.”

I nearly jumped into one of the many cabinets behind me. He looked down at the counter, breathing heavily. Time to man up and play it off.

“I’m not the Kentucky you are looking for.”

I nearly hit myself. Julian looked at me in disbelief, “THAT is what you have to say?”

“I mean, the cold coffee here is great. It’ll...keep you going.”

Julian rubbed his temples and kept looking at me with those burning grey eyes that now felt like piercing bullets. I managed to yell, “Mandy? One cold coffee. Hurry, please.”

“When I said I needed something to keep me going, I didn’t mean I needed a beverage.”

“Caffeine is healthy in small doses, I think.”

He shook his head, “When Hannah told me that you were a homophobe, I laughed in her face.”

He looked back at me after breathing in deeply, “I told her, she was wrong. You were and are one of the nicest guys I know. She agreed. Until she told me you kept referring to people like me as Fags. I’m giving you this chance to prove she was wrong.”

“How do you want me to prove she’s wrong?”

Mandy stepped out, her eyes wide, holding a Cold Coffee. She quickly placed it on the counter and whispered, “You’re gay, aren’t you KennyBenny?”
