DEADTOWN

Chapter 6

As the howls and growling got louder, Tim became worried about Adam and decided to just go next door to check on him.

He taps lightly on the door as he opens it.

"Hey, I was just che....." He stops as he sees Austin with his arm around Adam and holding his hand. "Oh."

"Timmy." Austin looks around, meeting the hurt in Tim's brown eyes.

"Sh*t." Adam says quietly as he pulls his hand out of Austin's and quickly moves over.

"I, uh, I'm ... I'm sorry." Tim looks down to the floor and shakes his head. He turns quickly on his heels, heading back to his room. How in the hell could Austin do that to him? But then, he had no claims of Adam.

"Tim, wait." Adam calls out as he stands from the bed.

"Timmy, come on, man. It's not what you think." Austin calls out.

Both were answered by the slamming of Tim's door.

"Dammit!" Adam says as he shakes his head. Did he just blow any chance that he had with Tim?

"I'm sorry, Adam. I knew this would happen. I told Jenika that it wasn't a good idea." Austin says, running a hand through his hair.

"What? What are you talking about?" Adam says, looking down at the smaller man.

"For some stupid reason, Jenika wanted to prove that Timmy had a thing for you. And she thought that making him jealous would be the way." Austin explains. "I knew it meant trouble."

"Oh, my God. I can't believe this. Why in the world would yall even play a joke like that? If you guys ruined any chance I had with Tim there will be trouble." Adam warns as he heads toward the door.

Tim locks his door and leans against it. Fighting back the angry tears. He grits his teeth as he shoves the chair over that was in the room.

"Why?" Tim says to himself as he falls back onto his bed.

"Tim?" Adam calls out as he knocks on the door. "I know you're in there."

"Go away! I'm busy!" Tim shouts out, as he wipes away a few tears that had managed to escape. "I've got company!"

"Oh, really? Who?" Adam asks from the other side of the door.

"Chris." Tim answers after a few seconds of silence.

Adam looks down the hall to see Chris talking to Rob and Kelsey.

"Maybe you better try again. Chris is down the hall talking to Rob and his wife." Adam says crossing his arms.

Silence once again comes from the room until the door suddenly swings open.

A mixture of anger and hurt filled Tim's puffy brown eyes as he glares at Adam.

"What the hell do you want?" Tim growls in a low voice. "I'm not into sloppy seconds."

"Oh, shut up." Adam says as he grabs Tim by his collar and pulls him into a hard kiss.

Adam breaks the kiss leaving a very stunned and out of breath Tim staring at him.

"There was nothing and I do mean NOTHING going on with Austin and I." Adam says with gritted teeth.

"He's right, Tim." Austin speaks up from behind Adam. "This was all Jenika's idea to make you jealous and I was stupid enough to play along. I'm sorry."

"But why would yall do such a thing?" Tim asks as his eyes shift to Austin.

"She wanted to prove that you were falling for Adam." Austin answers with a shrug.

"That's really nobody's business." Tim replies.

"I know. That's what I told her. I'm so sorry." Austin says. "I'll see yall later."

Austin walks down the hall where he meets Olena going to her room. After a short conversation, she takes him by the hand and they go into her room, closing the door behind them.

"I had nothing to do with all this. I hope you know that. I thought he was only being nice." Adam says.

"I was worried about you, that's why I came to your room." Tim says as he looks down. "I was hoping ... I thought maybe that you might need somebody. I mean, with all the growling and stuff. I thought maybe you were scared."

"Austin showed up before the demons came out." Adam says as he glances toward the overturned chair. "What happened here?"

"Oh, I, uh ..." Tim says as Adam walks over to sit the chair back up. "I accidentally knocked it over." He lies as he bites his bottom lip. "Uh, Adam? Why did you kiss me?"

"To shut you up." Adam smiles.

"Oh. Sorry about the 'sloppy seconds' comment." Tim says with a slight smirk on his face.

"You're forgiven." Adam smiles as he walks back over to Tim.

"Uh, was that the only reason you kissed me? To shut me up?" Tim asks as he bites his bottom lip.

"Truthfully? No, it wasn't." Adam answered with a light smile. 

"Okay. Good." Tim smiles. 

"I know we've just met and barely know each other. But, I can feel in my heart that I really like you a lot." Adam says. "BUT. I don't wanna be just another one of your 'visitors' if you know what I mean. If anything blossoms between us, which I'm hoping it does, I won't share you with anyone. You would be off limits to the others. Understand?"

"What if ... what if I don't agree with your terms?" Tim asks in a sassy manner with a raised brow, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Then. Timothy. You won't have a snowball's chance in Hell to be with me." Adam answers, crossing his arms and glaring at the brown-eyed man.

Both stand in the same position glaring into each other's eyes for a good minute. Ignoring the demons outside in the streets.

Although Tim loved the sex he got from the others, this was his opportunity to be with Adam. The one he knew, after just a short amount of time, has stolen his heart.

Adam silently prayed that the gorgeous man standing before him would agree to his terms. It would break his heart to see Tim with anyone else. Knowing what they were doing.

"IF, I agree to your terms," Tim speaks, raising his brows. "And if I catch anyone else in your room 'comforting' you. I'll kick yours and the other person's asses."

Adam bites his lip to keep from laughing.

"And, your lap is a seat to no one but me." Adam states sternly.

Another thirty seconds go by as they seem to think about the terms being laid out.

A smile creeps upon their faces as Adam holds his hand out for a handshake.

"Deal?" Adam asks.

"Deal." Tim answers as he shakes the blond's hand.
