The Ride of Your Life: Hardzello

Chapter 7

BEN'S POV

I woke up the next morning with the sun in my eyes. I felt whole and satisfied. I was finally happy, and someone really understood me. That person was Joe. I had feeling for Joe that were more than just friendship. I longed a relationship with him, even though these feelings were new to me. I was okay with being gay if that means that I am with Joe. I stared at the ceiling, and watched the fan move slowly, round and round, leaving shadows in the room. I was caught up in my thought, my thoughts of Joe. Then the memories last night flooded back to me one by one, until I realized that I was going to be late for Church. 

I got up like a rocket and sprinted to the bathroom, and took a shower. While the arm water ran down my body I thought of the day to come and wished it would come sooner. When I was done I stepped out of the show and was met with a chill of cool air from the air conditioner. I chose my light  brown dress pants, and light pink, salmon shirt. I slipped into my clothes, applied clone an hair gel, combed my hair to the side, put my shoes on and was ready to go. 

I  walked out of my hotel room and was on my way to Church. I was so excited to see Joe and Lily. I want to tell him today, how I feel, but I don't really know how. I mean what if he doesn't feel the same way. It will be so embarrassing, and I will loose our friendship completely. I like Joe as my friend, and I see that he is a dexterously calculated person, who is very loyal. He is the type of person I need in my life, and to be frankly honest, this whole being gay thing s really knew to me. 

I arrived at Church and realized that I was 15 minutes late! Oh no, this is gonna be so awkward. 

JOE'S POV

Lily and I arrived at Church, and sat in the front row. We were quite early, because I did not want to miss Ben. I figured that he would be here soon after we had arrived before the service started, but he never showed up. The service began and my heart sank. I thought about leaving, but I realized that this would be a great experience for Lily, and that I owe it to her. 

As the priest came out from behind the alter, I realized that I had no idea what I was doing. Sitting in the front row was not such a great idea. I follow the actions of the other people, and tried to follow the book at the end of each pew. Sit, Stand, Kneel. There was a moment of silence for the souls who we have lost in our lives. Lily and I bowed our heads, and there was silence. The only sounds to be heard were the quite sobs of a widow, for whom this mass was offered to. Then out of the blue, I heard the Church doors bust open, and the shuffling of feet. Lily began to lift her head, but I told her not to. I mean what kind of inconsiderate person would just...

"Why do you join us mister Hardy, in a little bit of a quieter fashion?" said the priest. 

Jesus, Miriam, and Johnny Mozzarella, I thought to myself, It's BEN! (I hate cursing, and vowed to myself that I would never do it, so in situations like this I have to come up with sayings to respond.) 

Why would he show up so late and burst in like that. Wait he didn't stand me up, he came! My heart raced at the though. Ughh he is so perfect, even when he is not. He looked gorgeous. I was pulled out my thoughts when Lily began to tug on my shirt. 

"It that Ben? Did he come?" she asked, being too short to see him over the other people.

"Yes, yes he did. I told you he would come." I told her with a reassuring simile. 

I turned back to face the front of the Church and was met by Ben's courteous gaze. He looked gorgeous this morning. His hair look unreal, the way that his golden locks fell perfectly upon his forehead, and the way his eyes were so crystal blue. He started into my eyes for a moment, and greeted me with a "Good morning. Sorry I am late."

I broke away from my thoughts once again, was extremely caught off guard. 

"Ohh, don't worry about it, I  am just really happy that you showed up!"

"Me too." he said with a smirk. 

This day began with a sweet and peaceful start, but was it far from over.
