The Piano Lesson- Chapter 2
He led me up the stairs, my heart racing the entire way. I still can't believe what just happened, what I just did. I still have the taste of him on my lips, exhilarating! We get to his room, he pushes the door open and I pause as he enters the room.
"Come on Colin, my turn." He said smiling as he grabbed my hand.
He laid me on the bed, I could feel him get on top of me, opening my eyes to see his lips come down on my forehead. He kissed me softly on the lips and continued down to my neck, gently kissing each side while he unbuttoned my shirt. I could feel his warm lips on my chest, pressing softly, teasing every sense in my body. My mind was reeling with desire. His delicate fingers unzipping my pants, and then the I could feel his mouth around my erection, I moaned as he guided himself up and down.
"Ephram, are you home?" suddenly rang out from downstairs.
He broke contact, it felt like a thousand needles hit me all at once, to lose his touch was shockingly hard.
"Damn it, my dad is home!" he said in a panic. "Hurry, get your clothes straightened out." He quipped.
I buttoned up my shirt, zipped my pants and sat up as fast as I could. Ephram was already heading towards the door as it opened. Dr. Brown stood there, looking in at me laying back on Ephram's bed.
"We were practicing and Colin felt a little dizzy, I told him to come and lay down for awhile." Ephram said, sounding only half convincing.
"Are you okay Colin? Tell me exactly what you feel right now, describe it please." Dr. Brown said in a concerned voice.
"Please, I am fine, Ephram just over reacted, I was going to get back up now anyway, it was just a little light headedness, I haven't eaten yet today." I managed to say, sounding very convince if I do say so myself.
"Are you sure? I need to know if anything is out of the ordinary!" He said.
"Yeah, I'm great, no worries." I said. "Ephram, I really should be going, thanks for the lesson, I learned a lot today!" I said smiling.
"No prob, I'll see you later!" He muttered with a smirk.
I let myself out of the house, wondering aimlessly around town back to my house. Before I knew it, I was there, in front of the house, not really wanting to go back in.
"Colin!" I heard shouted from behind. "Hey Colin, what to go shoot some hoops?" the voice said. I turned to see Bright running up to me. Now was really not the time, but I didn't want to go home either.
"Sure, I guess we could do that." I said in what must have sounded as unconvincing as I meant it.
"It's okay if you don't, we can just hang." He offered.
"I'm sort of hungry, lets get something to eat." I said
We made our way to the diner, I sat there enjoying my hamburger, not saying much. I kept replaying the events of the day in my head. Did it really happen, was this just some delusion that I had concocted in my head?
"So, what are you smiling about?" He said. "You have had this perma-smile stuck on your face since I called your name earlier, what's up?"
"Just it's great to be alive man, that's all, I don't take anything for granted." I said, well that was a half-truth. I don't take anything for granted anymore and it is great to be alive, but that's not what had me left in a permanent daze.
"Ephram" I said softly, or at least I thought it was softly so that only I could hear.
"What about him?" Bright said questioningly.
"What about whom?" I said, pretending that I did not know.
"Ephram, you just said his name." He said intrusively, I could tell he wasn't going to let this go.
"Oh, I was just thinking about how I have a piano lesson with him tomorrow. That's all." I mumbled.
"I don't see why you need those you're in perfect health now, he just wants to hang out with you in hopes to become cool by association, like that will ever happen" He snidely said.
"Bright, he's not like that and yes I do still need those lessons for my dexterity." I said defensively.
"Sorry dude, but he's your friend not mine, anyway he knows how I feel about him." He said harshly. "So are you coming back home with me? Amy mentioned you were coming over today."
"I'd like to, but I promised dad that I'd be home to help him with something." I said, knowing it was a lie. I just was not ready to face Amy, not yet. Besides, I really did not know what to say to her.
The next day at school, I saw Ephram in the hall by his locker. He looked at me in almost a glare from across the hall and motioned me to come over.
"Meet me at the track at lunch." He said before walking to his class so coldly.
I did as he said; I walked over to the track field at lunchtime, expecting him to tell me how big of a mistake it was last night and how it would never happen again. I could see him standing there, it was hard to judge the look on his face, so I didn't bother, I just walked up to him.
"Listen, Colin, about yesterday.." He began to say.
"Yeah, I know, it was a mistake and it won't happen again okay." I said in almost a contemptuous tone of voice, before I started to walk away.
"Really, oh, my bad because I thought it was good for you too." He said, sounding disappointed.
I froze in my tracks and turned to face him.
"You mean, you didn't ask me here to tell me what a mistake last night was?" I said.
"No, in fact I called you here to tell you that while it did take my by surprise, I agree with what you said, it just feels right." He said.
"But why, why would you want to be with me, or whatever you would call it?" I asked shyly.
"So I can kiss you whenever I want." He said coyly and with a smile.
It was like I had just won the prize at the fair, he really does like me and wanted to have some sort of something between us. I wanted so badly to embrace and kiss him, in my deliriously happy state I almost did until I heard something that snapped me back to my reality.
"Hey Ephram, Colin, can I talk to you for a minute." Amy said approaching form behind.
Ephram smiled when he saw the smile disappear from my face and it was replaced with a grimace of contempt. He knew that I didn't care about her in that way. I shouldn't have been mad at her, but she was intruding on my moment with Ephram and it was a really romantic time for us.
"Well, I should be going, remember we have a lesson later, see you at 5:00." Ephram said as he walked away.
"Hey honey." She said, kissing my cheek. "You never came over last night, is anything wrong?"
Yes something is wrong, I am falling for someone else, I thought to myself.
"No, it's all good, I just had some stuff to do around the house, I'm sorry." I said, thinking to myself that I just wanted this moment to end.
"You seem different Colin, just more distant." She said sadly.
"Amy, I AM different, I am not the person that you fell in love with, he's gone and I have tried my best to be him, but I can't." I said unfeelingly.
"So, are you breaking up with me? After everything we've been through, this is what happens?" She said angrily.
"No, Amy, I just need some time, okay, some space." I said before hugging her. I was angry with myself that I didn't just take the out that she was providing, but I felt bad, she had done nothing wrong, it really was all me.
Before I knew it, school was over for the day and I was at home, not able to concentrate on my homework. It was 4:30, almost time to go to Ephram's house. I didn't know what to expect, I mean it would be ridiculous to just have a piano lesson, but too risky to do anything else. We almost go caught yesterday and that is not something I am ready for, I don't think he is either.
"Bye mom, I'm going to Ephram's for my lesson, be back later." I said, heading off to my destination, I wonder what will happen when I get there?
