I Love You?

Chapter 7

*EDWIN'S POV*

It was finally time to go to school. Charlotte and I had the same bus stop. I decided to tell her about my sexuality.

"So, I have something to tell you." "Hmm?" She was drinking coffee. "I'm gay. Well not gay I don't really know. Maybe bisexual?"

She seemed to choke on her coffee. "You are?" "Yeah." "So, you have a boyfriend?" "Yeah. My childhood friend, Samuel."

I showed her a picture of him. She widened her eyes and tipped down her glasses. "Whoa. He's a nice tall glass of water." She was right. He did look pretty hot from the angle I showed her.

"He is. He gives it to me gooood in bed." I didn't mean to say that last part out loud. Charlotte busted out laughing.

"I can't breathe! You looked like a deer in headlights!" I sighed. "Well, pretend that didn't happen." "Ok ok."

When we got to the school, it was more like a college than a high school. There were elevators, shops in the school and even a athletic room.

"Whoa. This school is huge." Charlotte nodded. "Mhm. I'm sure you'll like it."

...

The school day passed, and I made a new friend, Adrienne or Addy for short.

Charlotte wanted to see and meet Sammy, so we rode our bikes to his house afterschool.

When we knocked, his dad answered. "Oh hey Edwin. It's nice to see you. And who's this?" "This is my friend Charlotte. Charlotte, this is Mr. González."

They shook hands and we went inside. I knocked on Sammy's bedroom door and he pulled me in. "Sammy!?" "Oh how I've missed you!" He kissed my lips multiple times, and my neck as well.

I giggled. "Aw Sam. I missed you too, but I brought a friend over." Charlotte walked in, though I'm pretty sure she already saw what we were doing.

"Samuel, Charlotte. Charlotte, Samuel." Samuel grinned, which made me smile. "Nice to meet you." "You guys make a good couple, but I kinda feel like the 3rd wheel."

I nodded. "I'll go get us some foodies from McDonalds. I'll be back."

*SAMMY'S POV*

Once Edwin left, Charlotte asked, "So how long have you guys been dating?" "Almost a month, once September rolls around."

"So." I turned on the TV. "Tell me about yourself Charlotte." "Hmm...well I'm the oldest out of 4 kids. I have another sister and brothers. My sister, Kiome, is 14, my brother Halian, is 11 and the youngest, Tadi is 9."

"Whoa so you're 16?" "Mhm. I'll be 17 November 12th. When's yours?" "August 4th." "Oh so the same as Andrew's?"

I perked up. "So what was he doing on the 4th?" Charlotte laughed. "You're jealous? You haven't even met Andrew yet."

I wanted to be honest. "Yeah I am. Any boy near Edwin..." I balled up my fist. "Sorry. I am protective. I love him."

I felt my face heat up and I smiled. Charlotte sighed. "You really are in love with him." I perked up and burrowed my eyebrows. "Is that a problem?" She seemed to jump back. "Oh no no I'm just envious." "Oh..."

The atmosphere was awkward, because I'm pretty sure I made a threat. "Well you can have my number, so we can communicate more often." "Oh alright." We traded numbers and sat in silence until Edwin came back.

Edwin came back with apple pies and a Coke for me, Sprite for Charlotte and a tea for himself.

"So Eddy, our anniversary is coming up." He nibbled on his pie and smiled. "I know. What's your present?"

I was gonna take him out to lunch, then take him skating and get ice cream.

"I'm taking you our for the whole day. I think the 4th is on a Sunday." "Mhm. I'm giving you something."

Charlotte was just sitting there, analyzing our conversation.

*EDWIN'S POV*

Sammy had passed his motorcycle test last year, but he never got one. My Uncle had one that he bought for Luis, but it was still brand new.

So I was gonna give it to Sammy, so that way he can ride around with me.

"What're you getting me?" "Can't say." I winked. I realized Charlotte felt awkward, since she was silent. "Oh Charlotte, you wanna head home?"

Charlotte looked at me and said, "No I'm good. I have to be home by 5:45 and it's 4:40 now." "So what do you guys wanna do?"

Sammy made a suggestion. "Let's go see how Carmen and Daniel are doing. Daniel said they stayed at the school to help set up the new stage." "Alright."

Sammy rode on his bike, but there was only one spare. "Charlotte, you wanna ride with me?" She nodded. "I'll ride with Sammy." I felt a tug of envy, how she chose Sammy over me AND how she's sitting with MY boyfriend, but I didn't wanna seem dramatic.

"Ok. Let's ride." During the ride, Charlotte had her arms around his waist, and I kept looking at them.

And with me looking at them, I ran into a telephone pole and screamed, "FUCK!" I hit my nose on the pole.

Charlotte and Sammy were cracking up. I was pissed. "Ow." "Watch where you're going babe. How did you run into it anyways?" "He was looking at us."

I turned slightly red with embarrassment, and because my face started to swell. Charlotte's face softened. "Oh your nose is all red." Sammy snickered. "You look like that clown from McDonalds, Ronald McDonald."

And they rage into a fit of laughter. I put my hand over my nose, which was burning then. Sammy wiped his eyes. "Phew." "Asshole."

But then he smiled and kissed my nose. "Is that better Eddy?" I smiled. "Yeah. But I think I need ice." He kissed it again. "Two for the road." We giggled until Charlotte pulled Sammy.

"Well we should be going. C'mon." I felt something going on with Charlotte, but I pushed it aside, little did I know, this was only the beginning.
