SOME ENCHANTED EVENING
Part One
Jason and Grant: A Love Story
It was a dark and stormy night. Halloween. Jason was all alone, watching The Shining in his poo bear footie pajamas. He was scared, he had never spent a Halloween without Grant before.
Ah, Grant.
He held so many confusing emotions for that man. He was his friend, his buddy, his pal, helping him plumb out his pipes when he got lonely, capturing EVPs...
He was the only other person who understood his love for the paranormal. Sure, the others in TAPS thought they understood. And yeah, they really didn't do that bad whenever they were out on a job. But Grant...his knowledge of ghosts and how to chase them, understand them...love them...love...
Was he in LOVE with Grant?
No...that couldn't be. He had a wife, and kids.
But since when did love have reason to it?
"Hey man, you ready for the next case?"
Grant was relaxing in his favorite computer chair, legs up on his desk. So comfy. He was just calling his bro Jason to talk about their next case.
He loved working with Jason. He was always competent, didn't jump at shadows like all the newbies in TAPS.
Sometimes, Grant wished that SciFi never hired them.
Going through old lighthouses, abandoned hospitals, even condemned prisons, just wasn't as fun on camera as it had been when it was just the two of them.
Oh, the days of their youth. Ghost hunting whenever they felt like it, never needing a silly case manager or an overpriced camera crew.
Just the two of them. Kind of like...a date...
"I—it was never like a date!", shouted Grant, forgetting he was on the phone.
"What's the matter?"
"N—nothing! I'll see you later bro!" Grant slammed the phone down, practically breaking the cheap plastic.
"Why...why am I so stupid? Why can't I be honest with myself?", said Grant, to no one.
There was an emotion nagging at the back of Grant's mind. That emotion was...love.
He had known it all along...he was in love with Jason. He'd known it ever since he had first met him.
"The only problem is...can I tell him? Will he accept me?" A single tear ran down his face.
Hunting ghosts wasn't as scary as...love.
OK chapter 2 has some secrets in store! R&R!!!
