Better Than Words
Chapter 4
For the next two weeks, Will walked around the campus like his best friend had died or something. Of course, he felt awful after spending five hours asleep on Jackson's couch because when he woke up alone in the room he found a note from Jackson.
"Will, I would appreciate it if you would put things away when you wake up. And try not to be here when I get back. Thanks."
"Man there are other guys on this campus who are interested in what you have to offer. Remember how I told you that Brian and Brent were both gay too? Well, maybe you should call one of them up and ask him out on a date. It's not really healthy to skulk around he like you've lost the love of your life."
"I'm not skulking."
"Oh excuse me. I meant to say pouting. If Jackson don't want none of what you have to offer, then offer it to someone else."
"I'm not gonna jump in the sack with someone just because the one I want doesn't want me back. I have a little more respect for myself than that."
"I wasn't suggesting that you sleep with them. What makes you think that Jackson doesn't want you back?"
"Because he had me half undressed and willing to sleep with him and the second he found out I was virgin he decided that he didn't want no part of me."
"Maybe he was showing you a sign of respect dumbass." Chad stood up to answer his cell phone when it rang from where it was laying on his desk. "Hey baby. What's up?" he asked Abby.
"No more sex for you unless you help me get Jackson and Will back together. Understood Mr. DiMera?"
"Yes, ma'am." He hung up and turned to Will. "I have an idea."
"What?"
"Come with me."
"Where are we going Chad?" Chad didn't answer him but grabbed him and his coat and forced him to follow him.
As soon as they arrived where they were going, Will knew what Chad was up to. "What are we doing here? I told you I don't want neither one of those guys."
"I know what you told me but I want to help you get the one that you do want so shut up and follow my lead." Chad pulled Will into the party.
As soon as he spotted Jackson, he started to feel the yearning he had for this delectable morsel of man. He was standing there talking to several other guys, including Brian and Brent.
Will didn't want to go over to them but Chad wasn't having any of that. So he followed him over to the crowd of hot guys, with Jackson standing right in the middle of all the hotness.
"Hey, Chad. What are you doing here?" Jackson asked.
"It's a party and I like to party. Am I not welcome here at your party because I'm straight?"
"No. I was just wondering why you were here." He glanced over at Will and wanted to ask him a question but he refused to cater to the gorgeous blond.
"Well, my buddy here is single and he is gay and I am lending him moral support as he tries to find that special someone." Immediately Will could see the look of jealous on Jackson's face.
"I didn't know you were single Will. I would have already come knocking at your door if I had known. I thought you were taken." Brent said before he glanced over at Jackson to see what he had to say about the matter at hand. He said nothing.
"Would you like to go out with me this Friday night Will?" Brian asked.
"Hey, I was going to ask him out for Friday night. You can't just encroach on our date."
"You don't have a date yet. So Will, do we have a date?" Will looked from Brian to Brent and then to Jackson.
Without waiting for Will to answer Brian's question, Jackson walked away from the group, leaving Will stunned and Chad smiling like a Cheshire cat.
"Listen Brian, Brent. Y'all are nice guys and all but I really don't feel like dating right now."
"So it's true."
"What?"
"You want Kiriakis, don't you?" Brian asked. At first, Will was going to deny it but he knew that he had no choice but to be honest.
"Yeah, I do."
"Then why aren't you and he together if you want him?"
"Because he thinks that if we hook up right away, it will be too soon considering I've never been with a guy before."
"So you have only dated girls up until now?" Brent asked.
"I dated one girl but we never slept together."
"So you are a virgin."
"Yeah. Until I met Jackson, I had only kissed one girl and that's my wealth of experience."
"Well, we can still help you make him jealous. He'll come around if he thinks a couple of seniors are lusting after you. He won't know what hit him when we get through with him."
"Thanks guys but I would rather not having him at all than to trick him. I'm going home Chad. Are you going to take me or would rather explain to your girlfriend why you stayed behind at a party with a bunch of gay guys?"
"I'm with you man. Come on." Then they left the party and headed back to their dorm room to wait for Abby to show up.
When they got back to their dorm room, Abby was laying on Chad's bed waiting for him. "Where the heck have you been?" she asked Chad.
"I was helping a friend."
"Well, I have been trying to help a friend as well and I want to go out for dinner and a movie." She stood up, grabbed her coat and pulled Chad towards the door. "See you later hot stuff." Then they were gone and Will was alone.
Will decided that he was going to order a pizza and while waiting for it to be delivered he would take a shower. He was getting out when he heard a knock on the door. Instead of taking the time to get dressed, he wrapped his towel around his waist and headed towards the door.
"How much do I owe you?" he asked before he saw who was standing at his door. "What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I'm here to see Abby. She told me to come here when I called her and asked if we could talk. Where is she?"
"She's not here. She went out to dinner and a movie with Chad. I'm here alone."
"Why were you asking how much you owed me? I'm not a hooker."
"I didn't know it was you. I ordered a pizza."
"So you thought you would answer the door wearing nothing but a towel." Jackson licked his lips as he looked Will's body up and down.
Just then, the pizza guy showed up, liking what he saw standing before him. "Hi. You ordered a large sausage?" he asked Will.
Will watched as Jackson pulled his wallet out of his pocket and paid the pizza guy. "He already has a large sausage so why don't you go stare at someone else." Then he pushed Will back into his dorm room and slammed the door.
"What the hell was that?"
"No way are you going to date 'large sausage boy' I can deal with Brent or Brian but I'll be damned if you attempt to show an interest in that pizza deliverer."
"I'm not interested in Brent, Brian or Mr. Large Sausage." He took the pizza from Jackson and tossed it on the table. "I only want you." then he pushed him up against the wall and started kissing him.
