Adam's POV
There's something about Will that makes me forget. Forget, well, everything.
He lives in this world; a fantasy land that I could've only imagined a couple months ago. He's successful and gorgeous and… he likes me. Me. Here, I can do what I want. It's New York City, for chrissakes! I have so many options opened up to me; I feel like my life has just begun. And I'm excited, so happy and giddy with thrill for the future.
But this was before; before my past caught up with me.
It's so easy to forget. To make-believe that everything is perfectly alright. Because I'm in Will's arms and when I'm with him the world ceases to exist and there is only me and him.
I lied to him before. After my dad called, when I went back into the apartment, he asked me what he had said. I told him that, unfortunately, we would be having a few more people over for Christmas. I left out the other part: the part about me leaving, or at least the fact that my dad wants me to leave. He just hugged me reassuringly, and I breathed in his scent and made-believe that it would turn out okay. Nothing bad could happen with those arms around me.
Grace has been reminding me that I'm Jewish. She wants someone to celebrate Hanukkah with her, I think. Well, I'm half Jewish, actually. I told her that my dad wouldn't let my mom take me to a synagogue or celebrate any Jewish holidays when I was younger, before she had left and the few times I saw her afterwards. She looked at me funny then, and I realized how bad that was. Another thing to add to the list of things I hate about my dad. It's a wonder why I never just ran away as a kid. Too afraid, I suppose. Of the unknown.
When my mom left, though, I really wished she would take me with her. I used to imagine that one day her car would just appear in the driveway. She would greet me with a big hug and be so sorry she would stop at every ice-cream place on the way to New York City. I had a weird fondness for New York, even back then.
I've been lying a lot lately. The other night, when I was in bed with Will, for one. Well, not in bed, in bed. Kind of. We haven't actually slept together yet. But we've come close; like the night I was in bed with him.
The window was open and I remember the sounds of disco music coming from the apartment above us. Will got up and playfully danced, trying to get me to join him. I'm a bad dancer, though. Jack said that it was a travesty when a gay man can't dance- and that he would give me dance lessons. I'd much rather dance with Will, knowing where dancing might lead.
But, back to the point. He was dancing and I was laughing, and we ended up kissing. A lot. This was right after we got together, before we told anyone. I was still unsure of myself, which resulted in quite a bit of nervous giggles. Somehow our shirts had come off, and I was fascinated by his toned chest. And his lustful eyes. And his kissable mouth.
So, I was running my hands across his chest and back, exhilarated when the kisses got deeper as I did so. Will then grinned wickedly and started licking his way down my body. I remember thinking that this was much better than anything that I had done with girls before.
After he made it down to my belly button, and let me tell you- by this time the world was spiraling around me, he stopped suddenly. His eyebrows furrowed and he was examining something near my ribs; his finger trailed along a scar. He asked me where I got it.
I think I said a bike accident. Or I fell down the stairs. I mean, come on, he had been licking me, I couldn't think straight! I became nervous then, although he didn't seem suspicious or anything. My whole body seemed to blush; turning even hotter than it already was. I pulled him into a deep kiss just to change the topic.
Because I had lied.
A/N: Oh, short, I know. But, hey, at least I was quicker with updating. Even if this was a somewhat strange chapter. Review and I will send good thoughts your way! And I already have some of chapter 14 written, so hopefully it won't be too long of a wait.
