The Triumph of Love
Chapter 2
"Yes, its done, right Bridge?", said Sky before Bridge could answer Ryan. "Umm..yeah..sorry I'm still amazed at how beautiful this place is", said Bridge, who was still shocked at what Sky had recently said. "Ok, then all you need to do is write your signature on this", said Ryan as he handed Bridge a paper titled Lease Agreement. Bridge read the lease agreement and taking one last deep breath he signed it. "Great, okay Bridge you can move in tomorrow if you'd like, here are the keys" said Ryan taking the paper Bridge had just signed as he handed him the keys to the apartment. "Really?, O My God thank you", said Bridge, not able to control himself as he gives Ryan a big bear hug. Ryan hugged Bridge back and smiles at him as he says "No problem Bridge, if you're a friend of Sky then you're a friend of mine". Bridge just turns to look at Sky with a big smile, "Well it was nice meeting you Bridge, see you later Sky" said Ryan as he left the apartment waving at both Bridge and Sky.
Sky was looking out the window, which had a perfect view of the city. Bridge walked over to Sky, "So… were you serious about the date?" he asked. "Yeah...why?" responded Sky. "What makes you think I'm gay?" asked Bridge. "O… I just…I'm sorry I didn't know you weren't…you know what just forget everything I.." but before Sky could finish his sentence Bridge cut him off and said "I'm just kidding, I would love to go out on a date with you", said Bridge with a wide smile, still trying to stop giggling because of how nervous Sky got a minute ago. "That's okay, how about we just forget it" said Sky in a serious tone. Bridge saw Sky had a serious look on his face, "Sky come on, I was just playing I want to go out" he said. "No just forget it, come on I should take you back home" said Sky as he walked over to the apartment door and was holding it open for Bridge, who was in the middle of the apartment, to follow. "Sky, I'm sorry I didn't mean to sound like a bitch I was just playing around, come on, don't be mad", said Bridge as he walked closer to where Sky was. "YOU KNOW WHAT BRIDGE!" shouted Sky looking Bridge straight in the eyes. Bridge jumped when he heard Sky shout. "I got you" said Sky laughing as he saw Bridge's facial expression. Bridge walked over to where Sky was and hit him on the arm, "You asshole, I actually felt bad and thought you were mad at me" he said. "No, I was just playing, see I can take a joke ", responded Sky with a big grin on his face. "Ha ha, I'm glad, I like a hot guy that can take a joke" said Bridge. "What?" asked Sky, thinking he might not have hear correctly what Bridge had just said. "Nothing", responded Bridge. "Come on tell me, I don't think I heard you right" pleaded Sky. "Nope, I'm not repeating myself", said Bridge as he walked out of the apartment with Sky following, he then locked the door and they headed of to where the elevator was to leave the building.
As they exited the building and headed to where Sky's car was parked, Sky would not stop asking him about the comment in the apartment. Sky walked over to the car and opened the passenger's side door so Bridge could get in. Bridge thought Sky was finishing asking him to repeat what he said in the apartment but when Sky got in the car he sat their and said "I'm not moving this car until you tell me what you said in the apartment". "I'll walk then home then", responded Bridge as he reached for the door handle to open the car door. Sky quickly grabbed Bridge's arm, preventing him from opening the door, and said "Please Bridge, tell me". Bridge looked at Sky's beautiful baby blue eyes and finally gave in, "Fine, I said I like a hot guy that can take a joke" he said smiling. Sky looked into Bridge's beautiful emerald green eyes, after a couple of seconds passed he started the car, slowly getting out of the parking spot he was in he looked over at Bridge, "So you think I'm hot", he said with a grin on his face. "O god , Sky shut up" said Bridge as both he and Sky started laughing.
Sky and Bridge spent the whole drive back to the orphanage getting to know each other more, every couple of minutes Bridge would tell Sky how thankful he was for helping him fine an apartment, Sky would keep telling him that he was welcome and that he didn't have to keep thanking him.
Minutes later they finally arrived to the orphanage, Sky walked over to the passenger side and opened the door for Bridge to get out of the car. Sky walked Bridge to the front doors of the orphanage, "So when can I pick you up for our date?" asked Sky with a wide smile on his face. "So the date is still on?" asked Bridge blushing a little. "Yep, you promised me we'd go out, remember" said Sky with a grin. "Yes I remember" responded Bridge. "So…can I pick you up around tomorrow around 7:30 p.m?" asked Sky. "Yeah, that'll be perfect" responded Bridge, he didn't want the conversation they where having to end so he quickly spoke up and said "so are you going to come here for the Fashion show tomorrow?". "Yeah, I'm suppose to help out back stage" said Sky, getting a little closer to Bridge. "You know I was about to think you where going to forget about the date" said Bridge blushing again as Sky got closer to him. "Nope, I wouldn't give up the chance to go out with a hot guy that can take a joke" said Sky with his grin that wouldn't go away. "Ha ha , so you think I'm hot?" asked Bridge. "Yeah, I do, in fact I think your smoking hot" said Sky. Sky got so close that he didn't notice that he had wrapped his arms around Bridge's waist, Bridge didn't notice that his and Sky's face where almost touching.
"IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" asked a nun that had walked out of the orphanage's door just as Sky's arms wrapped around Bridge's waist. Bridge and Sky were stunned when they heard the nuns voice not realizing the compromising position they where in. Sky quickly unwrapped his arms from Bridge's waist as they both said "Sister it's not what it looks like". "IE'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, THEN WHAT WHERE YOU TO DOING OUT HERE WITH YOUR HANDS AROUND EACH OTHER? O LORD I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINL WHAT THIS COULD HAVE LED TO IF I DIDN'T SHOW UP WHEN I DID TO STOP IT" said the nun in a loud and strict tone. "I was just saying thank you to my new friend because.." but before Bridge could finish his sentence the nun cut him off and said "NO, NO, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT, BRIDGE YOU MIGHT BE LEAVING IN TWO DAY S BECAUSE YOUR TURNING 18 BUT UNTIL THAT DAY COMES YOU HAVE TO LIVE UNDER THE LORD'S HOUSE, SO GET INSIDE NOW AND PRAY FOR THE SINS YOU HAVE COMMITTED YOUN MAN". The nun walked into the orphanage looking mad, when both Sky and Bridge notice she was out of sight they started laughing. They kept laughing for a while, Bridge was the fist to break the silence "So I've known you for a couple of hours and you all ready made a bad impression on the nuns", "Well I guess I better confess my sins tomorrow " said Sky. "Ha ha , Shut up" responded Bridge. "So I'll pick you up tomorrow around 7:30 p.m." said Sky. "Yeah, that'll be perfect, I guess I might see you tomorrow at the fashion show too" said Bridge. "Yeah, maybe" responded Sky. Sky was about to leave but Bridge grabbed him by the arm, pulled him close and gave him a kiss on the left cheek and said "That's for helping me get an apartment", then he gave him a kiss on the right cheek, "And that's for taking me out to eat, your sweet and hot" he said with a huge smile. Sky turned read and without thinking he went in and gave Bridge a kiss on the lips. Bridge turned read and asked "What was that for?". Sky looked at Bridge and said "So I have something to hold me through the night". Bridge smiled at the comment and decided to go inside. "Bye, I'll see you tomorrow" said Sky Bridge as he walked inside the doors of the orphanage. Sky waited to get in his car until Bridge closed the door.
Sky drove back to his home, after he passed the security gates he drove up to the mansion he lived in with his family. After trying to find the house keys in his pockets, he went inside. He saw the clock hanging on the wall of the living room that read 12:37 a.m.. He walked straight up the stairs to his room as quietly as he could since everyone was in the mansion was sleeping. As he entered his bedroom he walked over to the dresser to get some pajamas. After he changed into them and went to the restroom to brush his teeth he got under the covers of his bed.
He tried hard to go to sleep but he couldn't, he was just laying on his bed staring at the wall. He couldn't get Bridge of his mind, he slowly touched his lips and said "Wow, this must be what its like to be truly in love".
Meanwhile back in the orphanage….
Bridge was experiencing the same feelings, "I cant believe I cant get Sky out of my head" he said. He looked at the clock on his night stand that read 12:37 a.m., "Well, at least I only have to wait a couple of hours instead of a day " said Bridge, trying to lighten up his mood. He his lips, trying to remembered how Sky's kiss was so passionate, "I guess this is what love at first sight must feel like…I cant wait to see him again" said Bridge out loud to himself as he tried to fall asleep thinking about what his date with Sky would be like.
