Shades Of Steele (Man x Man)

Chapter 4 Home

Finally after a whole two hours of driving I've finally made it home. I grabbed my keys from my back pocket and put in the house key, turning it, and opening the door to find Elliot asleep on the couch, slight drool coming out his mouth. I smiled softly noticing a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a small half eaten bag of Reese's peanut butter cups.

"Looks like you had a blast." I whispered to myself walking past him and going into the kitchen.

"I really did man" a voice said from behind me, making me jump

Elliot laughed and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Jeez man I forgot you get scared easily, and bro you did the interview?" He asked sitting straight. I handed him the folder and walked back to the kitchen to make myself some food since I haven't eaten almost all day.

"So how did it go?" Elliot asked

"It went fine, he was interesting" I said opening the fridge.

"What do you mean he was inter-" he was cut off when He opened the folder and a piece of paper fell out. Elliot bent over and picked it up scanning it.

"Bro what's this?" Elliot questioned. I looked up to see him holding Alex's business card.

"Ya he gave me his card because I guess he liked me?" I said, slight confusion in my tone.

"Bro that's amazing, imagine you two getting together that'll be a something alright." Elliot laughed.
I laughed too but much more nervously, I mean a part of me wanted me and Alex together but my other half thought maybe it wasn't good and would interfere with his work and besides that we barely met but there's something about him that attracts me to him, and it isn't his looks.

I stood in the kitchen looking like an idiot before Elliot took me out of my trance.

"Dude you good?" He asked.
I looked up to him and finally spoke.
"Y-ya dude" I smiled nervously "he also asked me on a possible date." I said nonchalantly

Elliot turned around so fast that I thought he had gotten whiplash. He smiled largely and ran over to me putting me in a bear hug. I was confused.

"Why are yo-" i managed with the little oxygen I was taking in until I was cut off by him.

"Dude that's amazing! When is this supposed date?"

"Maybe sometime next week? He has some business to do here so I don't know." I said to him.

"Bro that's amazing let me know how it goes! I'm heading to bed I'm pooped." Elliot said sneezing

"Alright bro night talk to you tomorrow!" I waved to him before he shut his door and now I was left alone with Alex's business card. Do I call him? Or let him call me? 'oh whatever it wouldn't hurt to talk to him for a bit' I said in my head. I dialed his number into my phone and put it next to my hear while it was ringing. Finally I got a reply

"Hello, Alex Steele speaking"

"Hey Alex it's me, Kevin" I said smiling.
