What We Do For Fun // Gawsten

Chapter 8

Geoff's P.O.V. 

"Geoff!"

I was brought back to reality when I saw Christina in front of me with 10 bags of chocolate chips.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! Here let me help.", I say taking 5 bags from her. "Thank you", she mumbled and went to the back. I felt awful. I've been zoning out even more just thinking about about Awsten and this shouldn't be happening. I'm not gay. Gay people are just confused or they want it for attention. I'm not like that. 

Christina came back from the back looking a little annoyed. 

"I'm so sorry I wasn't paying attention. I was just thinking about stuff - ", she cut me off. 

"You're always thinking about stuff, buy yet you never tell me what stuff you're thinking about. Honestly, Geoff. What is up with you? You've never been one to just completely zone out and I'm worried." 

"Trust me. Nothing is wrong. Life is just kinda hetic right now, but I promise everything is fine.", everything was not fine. 

She looked uncertain so I just pulled her close and kissed her. She wanted to deepen the kiss, but I quickly stopped it realizing it was a mistake. 

"Are you serious? Now you don't even want to kiss me? Did I do something?", she asked. "No! You did nothing! This is all on me! Things are just crazy right now. Listen, I gotta go.", I say leaving to the back ignoring her calling out my name. 

I walked out and got on my bike going to the closest park. I found a small picnic table and just decided to sort everything out there. 

I can't do this. I need to stop thinking about him. He doesn't even matter. He's just a boy who is confused. I have to stop. This is affecting everything. This is -

I was brought out of my thoughts when I saw Awsten talking to some guy. Awsten was clearly uncomfortable trying to get away from the guy, but the guy kept grabbing his hips making him sit on the guy's lap. That guy was clearly intoxicated and Awsten looked like he wanted to yell. 

I shouldn't be doing this. 

I slowly got up and made my way over to the 2 boys. 

"Hey! What's going on over here?", I say as I made my way up to them. 

"Geoff!", help me  he mouthed and I nodded. 

"Come here.", I say as I reached for his hand and he took it. Once our hands touched, I swear I could have felt my knees go weak. Awsten finally got off the guy's lap and the guy got upset. 

"Dude, we were just having fun."

"Don't ever touch my boyfriend again, you got it.", I threatened and pulled Awsten along behind me until we got back to the table I was at. 

Once we sat down, Awsten spoke up softly, "Did you just call me your boyfriend?".

My eyes widened and I was about to apoligize, but Awsten spoke up first. 

"Because I liked it."
