Denial (boyxboy)

Chapter 8

Jeffrey's P.O.V.

What the fuck! In that instant I knew he was coming home with me. He was much more paler when we entered this shithole that he had the nerve to call home and no matter what he said or did, he was not staying here for another moment.

My God it looks like someone just went through everything, lord only knows looking for what since there isn't anything livable in this room. I was fuming so I turned to Sky and said, "Gather your things. You're coming home with me." I think he may have been in shock. He blinked at me as if he really didn't hear me but after a few minutes he moved.

I called Ellis downstairs and instructed him to call the cops. Then I was planning on having this building condemned and within a month torn down. Yes, I have those kind of connections. Sky and I both turn around to a sound coming from his front door. Oh this was going to be good.

This greasy, dirty looking short, fat old geizer barges in and yells, "What the fuck you think you doin?" Before he can respond I say, "What the fuck do you care? It's none of your business." He says to Sky ignoring me, "Are you tryin to run out without payin de rent?" I laugh my ass off at this point and walk over to stand right in front of Sky. Blocking this fuck from him I respond to his question with, "Rent for what?" I spread my arms and say, "Surely not for this as by tomorrow the fucking roaches will be evicted!" I looked over at Sky and he's terrified. Now I'm really fuming!

So then I look back at this fucker and say, "By the way, the cops should already be here by now so have fun." Then I take Sky's couple of bags and start to walk out with Sky following behind me when this son of a bitch went to reach for Sky, well he never knew what hit him. I know that I'm very over-protective of my loved ones but with Sky, I lost all my sanity and just started pounding into this guy until a cop pulled me off him. I didn't look back. I didn't need to. I grabbed Sky and his bags and left.

It took over an hour but we finally got back to my condo. It's one of my favorite places to be alone with my thoughts because I always get lost in the view from my floor to ceiling windows. We walk through my door and I'm very worried because Sky has not said a word. Ellis has his bags and I had instructed him earlier to put them in one of the guest rooms. I turn around and my heart completely breaks.

As I watch one single tear role down his beautiful face, without a second thought, I gather him in my arms and he completely shatters. He justs starts to sob so heart wrenchingly, so uncontrollably that all I can do is just hold onto him. He's gripping me so tight. Like his life depended on it and the more he cries the more I realize that this is about more than what just happened tonight.

At some point, his legs give and we slide down to the floor together because, and I must admit, I'm never letting go of him. Not in this condition. Somehow I manage to get him in my lap with his legs around my waist and he's still just sobbing and shaking so badly. I was tempted to call Jacob because I just had no clue what to do.

Eventually though, I noticed that he did stop crying. When I look down at him, well damn...he had fallen asleep. God only knows just how tired he really was. He certainly couldn't have slept very well in that dump and then that's when it hit me hard, the reason why he was at work so much beyond his schedule. He was, oh God I just couldn't let the thought take root.

Well, no more. He was never leaving my side again. He'll never need or want for anything. Now, how do I convince him! Hm... he looks like an angel when he sleeps. I think this may be the most relaxed I've ever seen his features and everthing in me wanted to just kiss his eyes, nose, cheeks and lips. Damn I have to put him in bed now because I'm quickly becoming aroused and I'm pretty sure that would be a very bad thing right now.

I get up from the floor with Sky in my arms bridal style. God, he's not as heavy as he looks. Has he been going hungry? Again I have to stop these thoughts because what little control I have over my emotions is ready to slip. I did the most natural thing in the world to me, I walked into my bedroom and placed Sky gently on my bed. I laid down right next to him. The next thing I knew he turned towards me, looked me right in the eyes and just like that, the tears started pouring out of his sky blue eyes so I ,once again, wrapped my arms around him, he held on tight and eventually we both fell asleep not really knowing when he finally stopped crying.
