Eleanor

One thing I knew for sure was that even though I made it this time I needed to work out so I could be in shape to keep making it. So as soon as Rep rehearsals let out Kit and I had my driver drop me off at the gym we have memberships to in West London.

"Thanks for letting me tag along Len"

"Not a problem thanks for helping me"

We started with jogging around the indoor track for an hour

"How's everything going for you?"

"Alright I suppose as it could I saw you on thee telly great speech you gave"

"Thanks I just spoke from my heart I just wish mum believed in me"

"Sucks when parents don't back you up doesn't it?" "

Yea she lied to my face to the people's face all she cares about is the damn monarchy"

"What did your parents do to let you down?"

"Beside being generally crappy parents who don't give a damn what I do where I am or who I am with?"

"My parents will never accept me Len no matter how hard I pray or how I try to please them to them I'll always be the gay son the one that they messed up on somehow"

"That's their problem than because as far as I am concerned your amazing Kit you shouldn't have to change for anyone not even them"

After a cool down we moved to the machines first doing some abb crunches, than we did some Pile Squats with the dumb bars spotting each other switching to some power stretch lunges moving on to some bench presses push-ups doing about 30 reps of 10 sets. "Thanks Len that's really sweet it means a lot I just kind of gotten use to being the strange freak in my family even in school I thought coming to a preforming arts school it would be more liberal but I was wrong their still as narrow minded as any school"

We moved on to the chin assist which gave me issues "Relax your body your too tight Len give yourself some slack breathe out than pull up slowly" Kit held my lower half as I pulled myself up slowly I made ten. "Now rest for a minute Len I need to use the loo I'll return" He jogged off as I took a drink from my water bottle.

"I bet you would look sexy as hell if you just poured that water all over yourself"

I almost chocked as I heard a voice from behind me my whole body froze. "I heard your speech it was very moving but did you mean it?"

"Of course I meant it why wouldn't I?"

"People say things they mean all the time people play games they lie"

"How can you say you stand behind the LGBT community yet deny you are one of us?"

Getting down from the machine I stopped in front of her she was right this wasn't easy to admit swallowing I moved closer to her. Lexi stood with one foot on a bench press wearing the sexiest gym outfit I have ever seen. Black tight stretch pants her flat stomach was tight firm on display for everyone to see thanks to her short crop top that clung to her DD breasts.

"We all have secrets Lexi for some of us it isn't easy to reveal but your right I am hypocritical to speak so passionate about acceptance when I can not even accept myself but I am working on it one does not come easy to accept the fact she is different not when it would get her exiled from her family, friends"

Kit returned jogging up "Hello who might this be?" "Kit this is my friend Lexi, Lexi this is Kit were school mates" "Nice to meet you" They shock hands "Len we should probably do some bench presses now" "I can spot her Kit" "Are you sure Lexi?" "Yes" "awesome cause I see some hot boys in need of some watching I mean spotting" Kit ran off almost gleefully I spotted where he was looking three boys around our ages with no shirts but ripped abs.

We worked for another three hours before exhaustion won over than we showered which I couldn't help but take to sneak a look. My heart fluttered as I watched her rub soap all over her delicate body. My knees felt weak "Like what you see?" "Huh?" Lexi's laughter rung through the walls echoing I felt myself blush. Once we changed we met Kit outside. "What's the stalkers names?" She motioned to Jack and Kit's guard whatever his name was. "Our security detail mine is Jack" "My guards name is Charlie but he doesn't speak much"

We walked into one of the fancier restaurants in London which was darkened but had soft music playing tables lined with fancy cloths, waiters carrying towels under trays. The host sat us at a quite table in the far corner. "This place looks rich I can't even afford the water off the menu"

"No worries Lexi my treat for being such an arse these last few weeks" "Well you do owe me" She laughed touching my arm. Her touch was simple light but sent waves of happiness coursing through me. "I'm kidding you owe me nothing everyone is entitled to come out in their own time" I smiled as I looked around at all the pictures each picture must cost thousands of pounds some were simple like the one of the dessert, some were of downtown London from years past a few of Paris there were ones of flowers. "Thanks for understanding I love the one of the dessert there's a beauty in it" "There's beauty in everything in life if one knows how to look for it"Slowly I reached out taking her hand rubbing my fingers over hers.

After a yummy dinner we walked around Hyde park for while it was already dark and close to closing time but there were still a few people cycling jogging walking dogs, the boats were all docked for the night but we stopped by Serpentine lake sitting on one of the rocks she took me in her arms while Kit ran to grab ice cream from a cart. "I don't know how this is suppose to work Lexi I have a boyfriend yet I like you" "Do you like him?" "Yes I mean not in the same way as you but he's a good kid" I could feel her fingers tracing my scalp caressing my hair. "You could break up with him" "I don't want to hurt him it's all so confusing I mean if I stay with him I am a liar a cheater but if I break up with him I'm a heart-breaker"

"Well maybe you could wait and see maybe this won't even work out we barely know each other why don't we take some time to see how this evolves no need to go breaking any hearts if this all falters although I don't think it will I am pretty certain that I will love being with you"

I turned slowly kneeling before her as she wrapped her arms around my neck leaning down she had the most amazing eyes I had ever seen. "I guess the only way to tell is if we seal this with a kiss" "So shut up and kiss me already you owe me that at least" Everything was so cloudy as to what I should do but the minute our lips connected those clouds turned to fireworks leaving those damn clouds buried behind the brilliant arrays of fireworks.
