Coming Out

Part Sixteen

The after party at Drew's house was just as big as always, even though we didn't win. Everyone just wants an excuse to party. A few months ago, maybe even weeks, I wanted the same thing. Now, all I want is Jorge. Nobody else at our school could ever understand how much fun it is to lay in bed with Jorge and do absolutely nothing. Watching him watch a movie is more fun than any party. Hearing his laugh, or his soft snores, that's all I want.

I look around the house for him, but I can't find Jorge anywhere. Even after all the fighting today, all I want is him. I know he's here. He came with Olivia and Laney. I heard them talking about it on the bus ride back to school.

Just as I'm about to give up looking for him and go home, I remember the one place I didn't look, but we always meet up at during Drew's parties.

"Hey," I say softly, opening the door to the guest room upstairs. Jorge's laying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

"Hey," He sits up on his elbows to look at me. He doesn't smile. I walk over to the bed and sit down next to him.

"I don't want to fight anymore," I sigh. "Are you still mad at me?"

Jorge's face softens when he looks at me. "I was, but now I don't think I am." He smiles at me.

"Baby, I love you so much. I'm sorry about Laney. I'll take care of it I promise," I say when he crawls into my lap and rests his head on my chest.

"You said she was your good luck charm," Jorge doesn't look up but I can hear the hurt in his voice. "You always said I was."

"You are. I don't know why I told her that," I rub circles on his back. "Can we just go? I don't want to be here, I want to be at home with you."

"Yeah," Jorge lifts his head up and smiles at me. I lean forward and kiss his lips softly. I fun my fingers through his curly hair and pull him closer to me.

"Just come out to my car in five minutes, okay?" I ask when we pull away. He smiles and nods his head before climbing off of me. When I walk out of the room and downstairs Drew stops me.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yeah, I guess I'm just not feeling it tonight." I shrug.

"Dude, Laneys waiting for you in the living room," Drew gives me an annoyed look.

"I'm sorry, not tonight. I'll come tomorrow, though." He makes me promise I'll come tomorrow night before letting me leave.

When Jorge and I get to my house, we go to my room and take off our shirts and jeans so we're both in boxers. I lay my head on his naked stomach and wrap my arms around his back in a hug. He smiles down at me and runs his fingers through my hair gently.

"I love you," I sigh into his soft skin.

"I love you, Benji," Jorge props his head up on a pillow and turns on a movie.

I kiss his stomach a few times before laying my head back down and breathing in the sent of his minty body wash.

"Benji," Jorge whines. "Kiss me." I smile at his request and lay in between his legs. I lean down and kiss his lips gently.

"Baby, you have no idea how in love with you I am," I rest my forehead on his when we pull away. Jorge blushes and shakes his head. "I can't even put it into words."

"Tell me," Jorge pleads. I peck his lips and then kiss down his jaw to his ear.

"Can I show you?" I beg.

"Please," Jorge breathes. I go back to kissing his neck, sucking lightly here and there. I kiss from his neck down to his chest and stomach. When I reach the waistband of his boxers I tug on them with my teeth and let them snap into his stomach.
