Nerd To Jock: a nerd's glow up story

Chapter 16: Visiting Justin-2-

"You're going nowhere," he whispered in my ear.

"Oh really?" I asked sarcastically. He turned his face and pressed his nose on mine. I saw his closed eyes open slowly. His blue eyes narrowed at mine. I closed my eyes when I felt the situation becoming awkward. His hands held my neck and the back of my head and his mouth got closer and closer to mine until it was just a hair away of mine. He stopped for a moment letting our breathes mix in the small space between our mouthes. I was so ready for everything that could happen after.

But apparently he was not.

I felt his breathe get away as he muttered something under his breath. I opened my eyes to see him getting away.

"What?" I asked awkwardly.

"This isn't supposed to happen," he said, "I'm not supposed to do this to you."

"What do you mean?" I asked feeling confusion running in my veins.

"If anyone finds out, I wouldn't be able to protect you and we'll both get bullied," he said as he sat on the bed in front of me.

"What matters more, me or the bullying?" I asked as I stood up.

"Y- you," he said hesitatingly.

"Then, I don't care about anything else as long as we're together," I told him right before kissing him. Right there, right now, I was feeling my heart beat for once as they both synced to sing a love song, our love song.

"I like this," he said as he took off his shirt.

"Me too."

I woke up and Justin wasn't next to me. I put on my clothes fixed my look on the mirror and headed out. The door of the staircase was closed. I heard sounds from downstairs. I tried as much as I can to hear what was happening. And then I heard the entrance slam shut. I ran to the window and looked from behind the curtains and saw a woman in her late forties leaving. The door behind me opened and I turned to see Justin enter. He was just wearing shorts and a thin T-shirt. I took me a while to realize that he had a heating system for the whole house.

"What was that for?" I asked pointing at the door.

"I'm sorry my mum was here," he apologized.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry I should've respected the privacy you wanted with your mum," I said showing shame in my eyes.

"Ugh, the problem isn't her, the problem is that I don't want her to know about what happened," he explained.

"What? Are you embarrassed of being with me?" I asked.

"I- I'm not, I just want privacy, and I don't like telling my mum anything about my life." I shot him a look of disbelief. He walked in my direction and held my hands.

"I do love you Andrew," he said narrowing his eyes at mine.

"I cannot believe you," I whispered taking my hands out of his and looking out of the window. He took a step back and kept looking at me.

"I'm sorry Andy, I didn't mean like hiding our relation but I have never told anyone that I'm gay because I can't do it, I don't want to do it," he said.

"Hiding your sexual orientation is like hiding your love for me from the universe," I explained. He sat on the couch behind him without saying a word. We kept it like that until I felt the need of leaving. I took my jacket and ran to the door. He apologized as he saw me leaving but I ignored it. I slammed the door behind me and walked quickly to my house. I went in and the house was pretty dark. Curtains down, lights off, all doors closed, matching my mood. I turned on the heating system as I felt my fingers freezing. I went upstairs to shower and change and every moment I wished he will come. I wanted him to come as much as I didn't. I went out from shower and went to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and stared at what was inside for long enough. I then decided to prepare sushi. I enjoyed cooking as much as I enjoyed reading so I could spend time reading food recipes and then try them. I took out the recipe book I wrote myself and searched for 'sushi'. I read it quickly and then threw myself to work.

I was almost done when I heard a door open. Mum woke up. She didn't take very long to get to the kitchen.

"What's my young chef preparing for the lunch?" She asked as she rubbed the top of my head.

"Sushi," I explained.

"Oh yeah, I missed the sushi you make," she said with joy, "do you want help?"

"No thanks, I'm almost done."

"Okay then, I'll shower," she told me before leaving.

I finished decorating the dishes, I know it was just me and mum, and there was no need to decorate them but I liked to do it. I put the platters on the table, I brought two candles and lighted them and then went upstairs. I took my phone and called mum as I stood next to her room's door. She picked up.

"Hi, who is it," she said sarcastically.

"Did you forget about out date," I joked.

"Oh my gosh, sorry I'll be there in a few minutes," she apologized in a joking tone. After few seconds she opened her room's door and went outside wearing a black formal dress.

"If you were a burger at McDonalds they'd call you McBeauty," I flirted as I took her hand and spun her. I liked how close we were, and now that I barely see her I missed having fun with her. She thanked me and we went upstairs.

"Awe, that's cute, she said as she saw the dining table.

"Take a seat," I said as I pulled the chair back. She sat down as I pushed the chair slightly.

"Thank you," she uttered as she took her chopsticks and started to eat. "Delicious," she complimented the food I made.
