Part 2 - The Showdown

Craig has gone on holiday without a word to JP.

There was a knock on the door and a familiar silouette could be seen through the glass. John Paul paused for a second. Surley it can't be him, its been just 2 days since he left for zante with Sarah without so much as a goodbye to him.

Reluctantly but eagerly he opened the door

" You've got to be kidding me" he muttered sarcastically whilst going to close the door on Craig. He looked tired and not himself and JP couldn't help but feel a surge of love as soon as he saw his gorgeous face in front of him.

" Listen John Paul, just please hear me out. I know I fucked up right but you have to let me explain. Hear me out then I'll leave i promise".

JP could never resist Craig at the best of times and even now after all the hurt he'd caused him he still couldn't. He opened the door.

"Nothing you can say Craig is ever gonna make up for this, not this time".

"I know, look I'm not hear to make excuses but just because I want you to know why I left with Sarah. I didn't know myself until we were there and I had time to think properly about us and this whole mess."

"Mess, thats a good way of describing it although I prefer a complete fucking nightmare which just never seems to end".

JP looked into Craigs eyes, he was so angry with him but so glad to see him too. He just wanted to hold him and never let go so he could never put him through that hurt again.

" John Paul you have had a long time to try and figure all this out, you have had feelings for men and you just knew you were gay, For me, until you I had none of these feelings. You have come into my life and now I don't know who I am, everything i thought I was isn't real anymore".

" We were real Craig, what me and you had, what we decided on before you just upped and left".

" I know, I know that now. I couldn't stay there with Sarah when all I could think about was you and getting back to you".

Tears welled in Craigs eyes and the desperation took hold of him as he pulled JP towards him. They were so close Jp could feel Craigs breath on his face and the urge to kiss him was stronger than ever before.

" I trusted you, I dumped Spike for you. How can I trust you again after this. You know I have never loved anyone like this before but I don't think I can take another let down, not again".

Craig released his grip and cupped his hand around the back of JP's neck.

" When I was with Sarah i looked at her and all I could think was I wish she was you, i realised its not Sarah I love, maybe I did once but that love can't and never will measure up to what we have. I love you John Paul, no one else just you".

Their foreheads touched and there breaths quickened.

" You don't know how long I have waited to hear that Craig".

Their mouths locked together like they never had before and JP's hands carressed Craigs toned warm back.

" So what now Craig".

" Now John paul its just you and me, no more doubts. Whatever happens from now on we'll face it together because that is how its supposed to be".

Craig leads John Paul to the bedroom...
