The three of us just stand there, hugging in the middle of the living room for five minutes. I am so happy that the two most important people in my life are getting along together so well!
We pull apart from each other and return to our seats so we can finish our dinner. Mom is the first person to say something.
"So Caleb, if you don't mind me asking, When did you know you were gay?"
"Ummm...a couple of years ago..."
'Why didn't you tell me!"
"I was scared..."
"Why?
"Because i had no idea if you were ok with gay people"
"Oh, well fair enough. I never really gave any hints, did I?
For the rest of dinner. Mom asks both Jacob and I all of these questions about our sexuality. How we came to know, who our celebrity crushes are,
what type of guys we are in to and even if we have had any sexual encounters with anyone before which got quite akwkard...
I am so shocked at how much Jacob is opening up to my mom!I would never open up to my mom like that! Hmmm..I wonder what Jacob's relationship with his mother is like... I didn't notice but over dinner, It had started to rain.
After we finish up dinner and finish talking, Jacob and I walk back up to my room and we continue to talk about ourselves. After another two hours of talking, mom comes into the room and interuptes us.
"Hey, you two! Caleb, It's time for you to go to bed now which means, I'm really sorry Jacob but, that means you have to go home now."
"That's ok Sherri! I understand." He gets up from my bed and starts to walk out the door.
"Wait!" Everyone stops and stares at me " Mom, can Jacob and I have five minutes alone to say goodbye?"
"Sure honey." She walks out of the room and shuts the door behind her.
The two of us just look and stare at each other for a few minutes because none of us know what to say. Finally, i decide to say something.
"Jacob...was all of this real?"
"Every single moment of it"
With that comment, i put my arms around his neck and continue to stare into his eyes.
"O Jacob..I don't want you to go..."
"I don't want to go either but I have to. I haven't even told my family where I am. I bet they are worried sick about me.
"I want to meet your family! You hardly told me anything about them today!"
"You will, sweetie. You will one day. I promise you that! "Ok i will take your word for it. I really, really do wanna met them!
" You will! Just not at the moment.
"CALEB!"
O crap...
"Ok, honey i have really got to go now! I don't want to get on your mom's bad side."
"Oh no! You don't want to go there! Jacob...Will you take me to school tomorrow?"
"Of course i will!" He says as i get a peck on the cheek.
"Thank you! Ok, I will walk you out So mom can get off our backs"
We walk out the room and walk down the stairs together, holding hands.
"Ok Mom! I'm just gonna walk Jacob out"
"Wait there, sweetie! Ok, Jacob, thank you so much for everything that you have done for my Caleb today! You see, this move wasn't easy on both of us and i was scared that this whole thing would make Caleb all depressed and sad. So thank you so much Sweetie!" She gives Jacob a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Wow! Thank you! I certainly love Caleb and i will do everything to make him feel like he belongs here."
"Thank you so much!"
"Ok mom! i will be right back!"
"Thank you so much for dinner Sherri!" We will have to do it again sometime"
"Yes, we shall! Bye Jacob!"
Jacob and I walk out the front door and notice that it's still raining. I don't know what Jacob was going to do. He was standing there, looking like he was thinking about something.
"Come here, Caleb." He takes my hand and pulls me out into the middle of the road.
"But Jacob! It's raining!"
"I don't care!"
He pulls me close, lifts me up and gives me the most romantic kiss! This felt so perfect! The rain just even made it seem more romantic!
There we were, standing in the middle of the road and kissing! When he finally pulls me away, he takes me by the hand and twirls me round and round in a circle. He comes close to my ear and starts humming a slow, random tune. He puts his hands on my waist and then i put my hands around his neck and we automatically start slow dancing in the street. By this time we are both absolutly soaked but we don't care! Wow! This is the best thing that has ever happened to me! It is official, He has stolen my heart. After a couple of minutes of slow dancing, he pulls away,takes my hand and says:
"Caleb, I love you" That was the most simple I love you i have gotten but was defiently the best!
"O Jacob, I love you too!"
"I have really got to go now! I promised you i will be here in the morning to pick you up for school and so i shall! Bye Caleb!" He gives me a quick peck on the cheek and then runs off down the road. I watch him run and when i finally see him go off into the distance. I just stand there, in the middle of the road, absolutly amazed at what had just happened!
