Awkward (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 5

As I walked downt he hall, I touched the screen on my phone so it would light up. I tapped the 'Missed Calls' button and saw that the missed call was from my mom. I made it down the stairs and to the kitchen where Sarah was setting out plates and drinks on the table. 

"I'm going to go call my mom real fast, I'll be right back. And Damien should be down in a minute."

"Okay," she said, and I walked to the livng room to call my mom.

She answered on the fourth ring and it turned out that she was just checking up on us, making sure that we hadn't either burned down the house yet or flooded it. She was happy to hear that we'd done neither.

When she hung up, I walked back to the kitchen where Sarah was at. She was filling three cups with ice. I saw the bread sitting on top of the stove, black and charred around the edges.

"Thank's for taking the bread out," I said.

"Yeah, nice job with that."

"Yeah..."

Sarah looked at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing," she said, grinning and rolling her eyes.

What was that about? Who knows...

Just then, Damien came walking in saying, "Ooooh something smells delicious! Give me a plate!"

I chuckled at him and motioned toward the plates sitting at the table. He walked over and picked one up and filled it full of spaghetti. Good thing I'd made alot. Sarah and I each picked up a plate and began putting spaghetti on them.

"This bread looks amazing," Damien said sarcastically.

"Ha, ha," I said back, flatly.

Sarah just giggled at the both of us. She stood really close to Damien and I saw her brush up against him a few times but he seemed to be ignoring her. When they sat down to eat, I got some sodas out of the fridge for everyone to put in their cups of ice.

Sarah tried to sit close to Damien and basicaly flirted with him all night while he tried to flirt with me. Sarah kept asking him question and telling him stories while he nudged my foot under the table with his own.

Footsies?

At least he wasn't trying to touch my thigh with his hand or anything. And I was thankful that he didn't try anything else the rest of dinner. Nothing that would draw Sarah's attention.

I was basically silent the whole time, mainly because Sarah wouldn't stop babbling on and on, but also because I was afraid that if I spoke I would say something to emberass myself in front of Damien since he kept touching me with his feet. I kept trying to pull my legs back, but he was too close so there wasn't much I could do.

Finally, when he pretty much grabbed around my ankle with his feet, I scooted out of my chair and stood up. "I'm going to go upstairs. I uh-- I have a headache. And I don't feel too good."

Sarah stopped jabbing her jaw and looked at me. "Aw, I hope you're not getting sick. And if you are, I better not get sick! And you better not get Damien sick! I mean, you guys are sleeping in the same room, don't breathe on him or anything. Hey, on second though, Damien and I could sleep in your room and you could sleep by yourself in the guest room," she said, a hint of playfulness i her voice at the last bit.

"No, nuh-uh. Not in my house! Not in my room!"

Damien started laughing at my little freak out. "Plus Sarah, I though you like to sleep by yourself? You even said so earlier," he said.

"Well, yeah, but..." she trailed off. I think she got a little emberassed because Damien just basically told her that he didn't want to have sex with her. Hah.

I just shook my head and started walking toward the stairs. I stopped at the bottom of them and said, "Sarah, you know where all the movies and stuff are at. As long as you guys don't like burn down the house or break anything, then you can watch movies or someting as long as you want."

She nodded an okay to me and I went to my room. I walked in my bathroom and brushed my teeth and washed my face. When I walked back out in my room, I began pulling out the fouton so that Damien wouldn't have to whenever he decided to come up here and go to sleep, if he even did. I mean, Sarah and him might end up falling asleep in the living room if they stay up very late.

I pulled out the fouton anyways and layed a blanket and a couple of pillows on it. Then I went to my own bed and plopped down on it. What was wrong with me? Did I like Damien? Of course I did! Why else would I have kissed him earlier and not freak out about his nakedness?! I mean, sure, he scared me when I first met him at the hockey rink because he came out of no where and knew I was gay. And then there was the time at school when he found me outside and kissed me without warning. But still.

He was just so... likeable. It was like there was a force around him that made me want to be close to him. Even sitting here on my bed, I already missed being in his presence and being able to see his face. Even if I did feel 100% awkward around him because honestly, I was like a little school girl the way they say that they always get nervous around their crush and make a fool of themselves.

Uuuug. Why is everything in life so complicated?

I stood up and turned off the light and went back to my bed and layed down. Of course, I didn't really have a headache or feel sick, I just wanted to get away from Damien.

Wait. I thought I was just wanting to see him again already? LIke I said, complicated.

Anyways, now Sarah was flirting with him very openly ever since he told her he was bi, not gay. It sort of ticked me off, but I knew I couldn't blame her. Even though she's the one that suspected that he was gay and invited him and herself over here to try and get us together.

Ugh.

I didn't really feel tired, but I turned over on my side and curled up in a ball and tried to sleep anyways. I guess I was more tired than I realized because I was out in no time.

The next morning, I woke up feeling extremely warm and comfy.

As I gained conciousness I realized that there was an arm draped over me and someone pressed up against my back. I tried to keep my breathing even and slowly roll over to see if it was who I thought it was without waking them up.
