I Will Take Care of You
Chapter 1
It had been a year since their last romantic encounter that either of them was actually willing to admit happened and both seemed to be accepting their separate lives. Noah and Ste had moved out of the flat and now had their own in the middle of the village; Brendan was now the sole owner of the club which seemed to be thriving and all appeared to be going well…
Ste and Noah were at the club just enjoying a 80s theme night that Cheryl was banging on to Brendan about for months and Brendan was positively electric with alcohol intoxication. His new boyfriend Conal was also in a bit of a state and Brendan had decided to call it a night and take him home. He started to walk towards the door when Ste stopped him:-
"What are you doin' Brendan? You're too drunk to drive!"
"Don't ya worry Stephen I'm only going around the corner to drop Conal off then I'll be back."
"Then why can't you walk?"
"Ya know me Steven I like to travel in style! Now are we finished?"
Ste knew better then to question Brendan's actions and left him to it whilst secretly worrying. He thought to himself that Brendan must know what he is doing so he left it and went back to sit with Noah, who had by this time clocked onto the fact the Ste had been talking to Brendan.
"What does he want?"
"Nothin'" (he kissed him on the lips)
Outside Brendan was slogging Conal's limb, alcohol infested body into the passenger side of his car. Ste was watching him with eagle eyes which seemed to scream out jealous undertones, he could see Brendan struggling to put Conal's seatbelt on whilst keeping him in the car; but he restrained himself from helping and went back inside.
"Did ya have a nice night?"
"Yeah it was nice" (slurring his words and reaching for a bottle of Tequila)
"Naaa you've had enough" (he put Conal's hands firmly but securely back onto his lap)
Conal didn't take any notice if this instruction and carried on trying to reach the bottle with his left hand so it was just out of Brendan's reach.
"Conal I said leave it, you've have had enough."
Just as Brendan was turning away from Conal, who was by this time slumped over the side of the seat - a car came charging towards them with no signs of stopping. Brendan swerved the car in the opposite direction.
