Am I......?(BxB)

Chapter 14

It's been about two weeks since Justin first started living with me and my family. I don't know what went on at his old house, but it must've been hard for him. He often feels like he needs to do most of the housework, even though either my parents or I have already said we're going to take care of it.

It makes me feel like he was treated more like a slave than a son. Justin tells me that his mom was the bad one in his house and his dad often stayed out of everything and let his mother do what she wanted. Justin doesn't blame his dad for how his mother is, but wishes his dad did more to help him.

Brian often comes over to my house to see Justin and how he's doing on the weekends. He's always extremely concerned on how Justin's doing, to which Justin tells Brian he's doing okay. Justin's easygoing attitude and Brian's over-protective nature really help bring the two of them closer together. I even heard them get closer together one night when Mom and Dad were on a date. I think they forgot I was in the house...right in the next room too...

It's now early in February and I'm at Hank's Hardware and Repair Shop, my workplace. I've worked at Hank's for the last two years and he's a great boss. I often help customers find what they're looking for and carry the wood they need to their cars. It's hard work, but it's worth it.

I'm in the middle of restocking a few shelves when I hear someone walk up next to me. "Excuse me? May I have some help?"

I look to my right and am nearly blinded. Standing next to me is the most handsome man I have ever seen in my life. He even makes Channing Tatum and Ryan Gosling look ugly.

He looks to be about twenty-eight and his hair is a beautiful shade of brown and is styled to perfection and his face is immaculate, not a hair on his five o'clock shadow out of place.

His eyes are almost piercing with their emerald green color and his jaw and cheekbones are beyond perfection. His teeth are almost fake they're so perfect and are so white, they're shining. Along with his pristine button down shirt, dark jeans, and black boots, is a body that looks like he works out everyday. He's not bulky, but in perfect shape. He's...flawless.

I shake my head out and look back at him. "S-Sorry, what do you need help with?" I ask.

"I'm trying to get my boyfriend a nice birthday present." He's gay? Of course he is. No one can be that gorgeous and be straight. "Can you help me find what I'm looking for?"

"No problem." I put my last item on a shelf and look back at the man. "Do you have any idea what your boyfriend might want for his birthday?"

"Actually, his birthday is also our five-year anniversary of being together, so I also want to celebrate that."

"Congratulations," I say.

"Thank you. He and I rented a house together and although it's a nice house, it does get lonely at times for him. I work most of the day and he waits tables at night. We often only get to see each other in passing and maybe once a week for dates."

"Oh, I'm sorry. May I ask what your boyfriend's name is?"

"Nelson."

I connect all the pieces and smile. "Your name wouldn't happen to be George, would it?" I ask.

He looks at me, lost. "Yes, it is. How do you know that?"

"I'm friends with Nelson, and I must say, he really knows how to pick them."

George slowly smiles too. "You're Josh, aren't you?" I nod, not pointing at my nametag. "Nelson told me about you a while ago. He was spot on with his description of you. You're just as handsome as he said."
