Chapter 2

Merrick return to room to find it was empty. Merrick breathed a sigh of relief. It gave him a little bit more time to think about what he would say to Cole. Merrick placed the two bottles on the night stand then took off his jacket to show his black shirt.

'Wonder where Cole will sleep tonight?' Merrick asked himself as he sat down on the bed. The thought that Cole had to share a bed with him made Merrick smile. It wouldn't be so bad to tell Cole he liked after he left the bathroom finishing whatever he was doing. Merrick took off his shirt showing off his toned upper half. Merrick then grab a root beer bottle from the night stand. Merrick pop the top off the bottle. Merrick was sure Cole felt the same way, but if Merrick was to tell his true feelings for him then what would happen. 'After 3,000 years why can't asking someone out be easier.' Merrick asked himself then took a long drink from his bottle.

"Hey Merrick what are doing?" Cole asked walking out of the bathroom in his boxers. Merrick chocked on his drink at this sight.

"Are you ok?" Cole asked walking over to him.

"Yeah it's just the liquid went down the wrong tube." Merrick coughed into his hand. After a minute of coughing Merrick was breathing normal again.

"Merrick what do you do at night?" Cole asked taking a seat next to him. Merrick didn't doing anything at night other then think about Cole.

"I watch the box on the other side of the room." Merrick lied pointing to the TV on the other side of the room.

"What do watch?" Cole asked. Merrick didn't have answer for that. He found the shows on TV weird. But luck for Merrick Cole's growl phone rang. Cole quickly went over to his pants to get his phone.

"Hello Taylor is there something wrong?" A moment of silence.

"Ok," Then turned to Merrick. "Merrick I'll be back in a minute." Cole said then walked out of the room. Merrick let out a loud sigh of relief.

"I been in a lot of battles on my life time and before each battle I wasn't scaried one bit, but damn it trying to ask Cole out is scaring the hell out of him." Merrick said to himself falling back on his bed. 'I need a plan some kind of plan that would work.' Merrick thought to himself. Merrick laid there thinking about a plan that could work, so far nothing was coming to him that might work. He also what Taylor was talking to ole about. Probably telling him off for not telling them he wasn't returning home tonight. Cole returned to the room with a serious look on his face.

"Is everything ok?" Merrick asked. Cole gave a nod of his head then placed his phone on the night stand.

"Merrick we need to talk." He said as he sat down on the bed. At that moment a million thoughts passed threw his brain.

"About what?" Merrick asked pushing any thought that was coming up aside. Cole looked Merrick dead in the eyes then grab the back of his and forced there lips together. Merrick eyes widen as the words 'Oh my god Cole is kissing oh my god.' Echo in his head. Cole final released Merrick from the lip lock.

"Wow that was good." Merrick said after the stunning factor wore off. Cole smiled then took Merrick's hand.

"Taylor told me not to beat around the bush anymore. She also told me to grab and kiss you if you've haven't made a move yet." Merrick return the smile.

"Well Cole how is this for a move?" Merrick asked moving closer to Cole pressing their lips together again. They made out as they fell back on to the bed.
