Chapter 10 Your boyfriend is approved…Or not

At 5 pm mom and dad came home. I told them my boyfriend would come for dinner and they were totally excited. Mom even cooked dinner herself. Obviously, she wanted to impress my boyfriend. But when the doorbell rang and my parents to the door ran to open it and they saw James stood in front of the door with a bouquet of flowers, mom hissed venomously:

»Please tell me you aren't my son's boyfriend. «

James looked nervous.

»Uh-I… Actually I-I am. «

He smiled weakly and held the flower bouquet out to her. Mom looked surprised at him.

»Are you kidding me? Is this some sick kind of trick to hurt my boys even more? You are nothing, but a narrow-minded, mean and disgusting person! At first you are beating people up for being gay and then you are suddenly gay, too? Do you really think I would believe this? Get away from my house! And come never back! And if you should approach one of my sons again, you will have a big problem! «

I was shocked. That was actually the last thing I would have expected from my mom. When I looked at James I snapped. He looked so heartbroken, so absolutely shattered, I can't even describe it. He looked a bit like a kicked puppy.

»Mom, stop it! «

I stepped angrily between her and James.

»How dare you to talk like that? How dare you to treat my boyfriend like that? Since when don't you trust my judgment anymore? He explained to me why he acted like he did! And guess what? I understand his reasons! I forgave him and I trust him! He made a mistake! Where is the problem? You are making mistakes too. Like forgetting to have breakfast with your son on said son's birthday! Now if you excuse me, I will spend time with MY boyfriend. FAR AWAY FROM HERE! «

I turned around, grabbed a jacket and dragged my boyfriend to his car.

»Logan! Logan, stop! «

I looked at my boyfriend and then at my hand. When I realized that I had an iron grip on his wrist I released him.

»Oh my god, James! I am so sorry! Does it hurt? «

»It's okay. Doesn't hurt that much. «

I lifted his wrist gently up and kissed it. James looked at me adoringly. We got into his car and I drove us to a restaurant nearby. It took me a few minutes to realize that James was crying. I pulled over and hugged him.

»James, what's wrong? », I whispered.

He buried his face into my hair.

»Logan, you shouldn't have done that. Your mother had some valid points. And I don't want to cause trouble between you and your family. «

I shook my head.

»Like I said, I trust you. And I couldn't stand nearby while she hurt you. «

When my boyfriend continued to cry, I caressed his cheek and wiped tears away before I kissed him. It was a sweet, slow and sensual kiss. I broke the kiss and wiped the remaining tears from his face.

»Let's do something fun. «

James nodded and smiled. We drove the remaining way to the restaurant. After we ordered, I got a call.

»Camille? «

»LOGAN! I heard the strangest rumors today. Alicia, she is in our AP chemistry class, the one who wore today that skirt in that horrible color. That color didn't suit her, she looked like a gigantic…«

»CAMILLE! Stop rambling. «

»Mhm? Oh yeah…Sorry. Anyway, she told me that Beau started to beat you up and then James interfered and he carried you away and admitted that you two are together. But that can't be true. I mean James is one of the biggest jerks on our school. There is no way you could be together with someone like him, even if you have a crush on him. Besides he absolutely hates gay people. I mean he is good looking, who am I kidding he is extremely hot, but that's it basically. «

»Camille, can I ask you for a favor? «

»Of course. «

»Stop drooling over my boyfriend. «

I grinned at said boyfriend.

»Sure. I can do that- Wait a moment. So it's true then? James Diamond is your boyfriend? «

»Yeah, he is. «

»Oh my god! How? Why? When? Where? Did you have sex? How is he in bed? I bet he is extremely good. And how big is-«

»Camille! I said stop drooling over my boyfriend. That includes imagining how he looks naked or how he is in bed. Besides I am kind on a date right now, so…«

»Logan, I am so sorry. I didn't know. I didn't want to disturb you. Where are you? Is it romantic? How does he treat you? Who…«

»Bye Camille. «

I ended the call and repeated everything what Camille said to James. My boyfriend laughed.

»She really wanted to ask how big I am? «

I nodded chuckling and devoured my food.

»Well, if you want to know you just have to ask and I let you look. «, he said winking.

I blushed.

»James, I…«

»Am not ready. I know. We are together since yesterday. And before we were together I wasn't exactly nice to you. Don't worry. I get it. «

I smiled embarrassed.

»Did you slept-uh with many people? «

James chuckled.

»Didn't you hear the gossip about the man whore Diamond? «

My cheeks turned pink.

»I don't trust gossip and rumors. «

»Good. But this gossip is unfortunately true. «

I looked curiously at him.

»Does it bother you? «

He shrugged.

»Yes and no. It was the only thing that helped me coping with his whole hiding-my-sexuality and bullying-other-people issues. But I regret that my first time wasn't with someone special. Someone special like you. «

My heart skipped a beat and then it beat faster than normal.

»That's really sweet. «

James blushed.

After we finished our meal, James and I walked to an ice-cream parlor.

»Here you can get the best ice of the town. «, James told me.

I got brownie ice and James got strawberry-lime-yogurt both were delicious. When we were finished, James drove me home. We kissed and I could still taste the ice on his lips. When we broke apart, James told me:

»Don't fight with your mom. I am not worth it. «

»You are. «, I whispered.

I waved before I got inside. Mom came out of the living room.

»Logan! Where were you? I…«

»Don't even bother. I am going to bed. «

A few minutes after I went to bed, a warm, slightly smaller and firm body, which I knew as good as my own body, slipped under the covers to me and wrapped his arms around me.

»Hey, Los. «

»Logie you shouldn't have been so mean to mom. I understand that you became angry, because it wasn't right for her to say that, but she is just worried about us. She just wants to protect us. «

I sighed.

»I know. But did you see James face when she said all that things to him? «

»Yeah, I did. «, my brother whispered.

»I am on your side, Logie. «

When we finished talking about each other's day it was really late.

»I love you, Los. «, I yawned.

»Love you, too Logie. «, he mumbled.

We snuggled into each other and fell asleep.

~Time Skip~

The next morning I woke up at 6.30 am just like every morning. Then like usual I tried to wake Carlos up. Even on normal mornings it was hard to get him out of his bed. But when we slept in the same bed, it was nearly impossible. Every time when I shook him awake, he pulled me closer to him and mumbled:

»'M tired. U're warm. Stay. «

I chuckled and tried it again. After half an hour he was finally awake. Then we took both a (separate) shower and went downstairs to eat breakfast. This morning mom and dad weren't there. I wasn't sure whether they avoided me or had to work. After breakfast I grabbed my stuff and headed outside, where James picked me up.

»Where is Carlos? «

»He is driving to school with his own car. Camille wants him to pick her up today. She probably wants to press more information about us out of him. «

James groaned.

»Don't worry, James. He won't say anything. «

»Logie, do- do you want us to act like boyfriends in school or like friends? «

I chuckled.

»No need to hide it after you shouted our relationship out to everyone. «

»I am sorry. «

»Don't be. I am glad you did it. «

James was a perfect gentleman in school. He walked me to every class and picked me up after every class. When James, Carlos and I made our way to the lunch hall, I said:

»It's really sweet that you walk me to every of my classes. «

He blushed.

»Well, my charm and gentleman-ness are not the only reasons. «

I giggled.

»I don't think gentleman-ness is a real word. «

»It is now. «, James said chuckling.

»What is the other reason? «

Carlos and I sat down at our usual table.

»I am afraid you could get jumped for 'turning me gay' or some stupid shit like that. «

I smiled.

»Cute that you care about me. «

He blushed and then asked me and my brother what food we want and got it for us. While James was still away, Camille and Lucy came to our table. Jett and Dak wouldn't come to school. They caught some nasty stomach bug.

»So-uh, you and James? «, Lucy asked.

»Uh- yeah. I hope that doesn't make things awkward or something. «

She shrugged.

»We'll see. «

Shortly after that James came back with three trays.

»Here you go. «

Carlos smiled at James and thanked him and I gave him a kiss. The others looked like they wanted to say something, but Carlos beat them.

»If one of you want to question whether Logan and I should trust him or not, I'd suggest you don't do it. Because firstly, there is no reason for that. He is completely trustworthy. And secondly, Logan would go ballistic. We already saw that yesterday with our mom. «

The girls stared shocked at us. James smiled gratefully at Carlos. After a few awkward minutes, Lucy and Camille decided to spend their lunch on another table.

»I am sorry. I didn't mean to separate you from your friends. «, James said his eyes downcast.

»Not your fault. Camille doesn't trust you, yet and for Lucy it's probably really awkward. «

Carlos and James started a conversation. I was glad they bonded, but I regretted it at the end of lunch break. They had actually a lot in common. James wanted to be an actor or a singer as well as Carlos and they both shared their passion for pranks and crazy stunts. At the end of the lunch break they plotted pranks on basically everybody.

~Time Skip~

After school Carlos, James and I went to our cars. We all wanted to spend the afternoon together. We had a really good afternoon and evening. Even if it was a lot of work to tutor Carlos, when James was with us. Because he needed some help, too and additionally they distracted each other. But we all bonded and got to know more about each other. James and I agreed to meet the next day, just the two of us. We kissed and Carlos and I drove home.

»James is a really cool guy. I think we could become really good friends. «

I smiled.

»That's great. As long as you don't steal my boyfriend. «, I teased.

Carlos chuckled.

When we arrived at home mom pulled us into the living room. She placed us onto the couch and looked at me.

»You won't see that guy again. Never again. «
