With all the I LOVE YOUs! That a boy could ever shout
Marco
P.S.: I would write more, but my computer won't let me
Marco grinned darkly at Ryan who was playing with the back of his hair," Cut it out will you?"
"Sorry" Ryan sighed out." I'm nervous, you know since tonight is going to be the big premiere and all-"
"You'll do fine" Marco said patting him on the leg and getting up as Jake ran into the room and launched himself onto Ryan's lap." Well hello there…" Ryan said as he got the wind knocked out of him. Jake smiled widely." My birthday's coming up!"
"We know" They both said at the same time," 15 Years old, almost time to be driving a car" Marco continued.
"Maybe you won't crash haphazardly into trees like your spurious father over here" Ryan snarked as Marco kicked him." I liked it better when you were nervous"
"Help me pick out my suit mister instead of abusing me" Ryan said, biting his lip nervously." Gimme a suit, or something!"
"I have the perfect thing" Marco remarked, hopping eagerly into the closet. Within it he began to hum stupidly again and giggle as he pulled out the outfit that he thought best suited Ryan. He came back out as he saw Jake wander over to the computer, log in and lazily type away." Who ya typin' to?" Marco asked casually.
"Searching for some new computer chip. This computer's bout to crash any day now with all this out dated software that you have stored on here" Jake murmured out.
"Oh…kay…" Marco said. He tossed Ryan some pants, a jacket and a pink shirt." Put it on"
"You've got to be kidding me" Ryan said, gawking at the clothes that Marco set out." No offence, but this is not the pride parade march of Canada"
"Well, it could be" Marco murmured as he smiled at Ryan.
He glared back in response.
"Fine, okay, you choose then" Marco huffed out. He disappeared down the hallway as Jake turned around in the swivel chair, teary eyed and flushed.
"What's the matter? What happened to you?" Ryan rushed out.
"I'm sick, another cold I guess" Jake answered honestly." I just don't want Marco to get all upset like he always does when I come down with something. Give me my meds and I'll be fine."
Ryan looked down," Well, what you have is a serious matter-"
"Which will evidently cause halt upon your plans of going to the gallery" Jake finished.
"You have a rather large vocabulary for a 14 ½ year old" Ryan said tilting his head to the side," And mister, you're more important than some crappy art gallery"
Jake grabbed him by the collar of his shirt." Just a art gallery? This is your unrequited dream!"
"You've got to be kidding me" Ryan sighed out, gently pushing him away." I'd give it up for you"
"I don't want you to" Jake protested." I'm perfectly fine. Go. Display your artistic desires to your nimble heart's content"
"I just wanna make sure it's okay with Mar-"
"Dad doesn't need to know" Jake said sharply." I knew I shoulda just kept quiet and left it alone. I trusted you Ry, I was hoping that you'd do the same"
Ryan bowed his head." Look. I'm worrying about your well being and safety alright?"
"Please don't tell him" Jake begged as Marco walked into the room.
"Tell me what?" He asked curelessly.
Ryan cutely put on a sloppy grin and lowered his gaze down to Jake's before replying," Nothing. Look, I'll see you two tonight…I'm gonna go raid my closet"
"If you see Harry Potter in there will you let me know?" Marco asked.
Ryan laughed as he walked out the door." Yeah, but I have a feeling that he'd probably be in yours". With one last knowing glance At Jake he walked out.
"What was that all about?" Marco asked once he left
Jake shrugged." I'm gonna retire in early Marco, kay?"
"Sure" Marco said as he watched Jake leave. Since when did Jake call him by his real name. Something was definitely up, but he'd pursue that once he came back from the gallery.
Ryan stood by the glass displays , stretched out like a cat and looking around the room about to pounce on his competition. He spied Marco across the room, but instead took a sip of his wine and licked his lips. His tie was off a little but he didn't care, it added to his persona. He wore a black blazer with a black tie and a red silk shirt. His cuffs were undone, with silver buttons on the end and a pair of black custom tailored pants. He licked his lips again as Marco came closer, until they were at eye length and yawned dauntingly." About time you showed" He said smoothly. Marco raised his eye brows as Ryan slid off the table slightly and guided him by his shoulders over towards the restrooms." Look is everything here Marco, so I have to act snooty"
"You're doing a great job of it so far" Marco remarked snidely.
"Yeah, I know" Ryan smiled." Look, why don't you hang out in the back area while the gallery gets it's final things up."
Marco shrugged." Whatever. Before I go, what's your status?"
"Marco, will you stop hitting on me and go?" Ryan asked.
Marco rolled his eyes," You wish. How many paintings are entered?"
"Oh, silly me" Ryan said as he fanned himself." 5 paintings are entered,4 re on display and the other one is in the auction"
"Good luck" Marco said as he nodded and walked off.
Ryan's brows crumbled." I'm gonna need it" As a waiter passed him by he flagged him down," You call this wine?" He snapped," I've drunken better piss than this!"
There was one painting that caught his eyes. A boy with smooth black raven hair laid along a rock, one hand dipping into the water underneath him, black roses creeping up the rock and intertwining within the boy's arms and body. He wore a ripped black shirt and his eyes were closed, facing the viewer, his lips parted as if he were about to speak , but died before the words could come out. It was entitled "My Fair Fantasy" and next to it was the familiar scribble of Ryan's insignia.
Marco wandered around, mingling in between groups for a while when his cell phone went off in his pocket. Blushing at the tingle he picked it up and hissed hello into it."Well hello to you too mister" The voice tauntingly said smoothly.
His face pailed," Angelina?"
The person breathed into the phone.
"What are you calling me for now? To tell me what a dispointment I am or to spit in my face. Or how about both?" Marco raged.
"Woah, calm down little Nino" The woman said softly into the phone." I called because I need a little help, you know, child support isn't getting me anywhere fast-"
"Your only connection to Jake is through me and your still trying to milk some cash?"
"You're the only one that I can trust"
"Not this time Angelina, last time, all you did was spend it up on crack or whatever the hell else you were doing at the time."
"Ive changed Marco, baby, I'm clean"
"Lie to me all you want, but on your son's birthday come and say that to his face"
"I-"
"Exactly. Don't call me again unless you have something of your son's well being in mind" Marc shut off his phone and sighed as he scrubbed his eyes thoughtfully. The gallery was about to begin as he took his seat amoung the crowd and waved at Ryan from the stage. He smiled slyly before seating himself also and crossing his arms together as a man came up onto the stage and announced into the microphone " The 17th annual Cultural Arts And Invisionary Gallery has began, please take your seats so we can get started"
So there you go, the nect chapter 5 reveiws is all I ask for people! So please enjoy
