Chapter 6
Chris admitted to Jack that Spanish class was the funniest class ever. They had played poker for the duration of the hour. Mrs. Day kept telling them to keep it clean. Chris was thankful that they didn't play strip poker like Missy originally suggested.
He knew he would probably come in his pants if he had to be around Naked Jack again today. Every time he even thought about he started to get hard. Jack was having an effect on him. And he knew Jack felt the same way.
He didn't want to rush into anything least of all a relationship with another man. Though he doubted he would receptive to a relationship with a woman. He was horny as hell and that was for sure but in the mean time his right hand would just have to do. Seeing Jack naked had given him enough jerk off material for months.
Chris just wanted to orb to his apartment and masturbate. He so needed to get out of there. The desk was hiding his semi for the time being.
God help him when he stood up. He tried to avoid eye contact with Jack because he felt guilty for thinking about him as sexual object. Why did the Elders have to give him the hottest future Whitelighter they could find any way?
Jack set his cards faced down on his desk.
"I fold." He said.
"Me too." Courtney said.
"Me three." Missy said.
"Chris. That means you win again." Jack said.
Chris wasn't paying any attention he was shifting nervously in his seat.
"Dude you won." Jack said.
"Huh?" Chris asked blinking.
"You won." Jack repeated.
"Oh." Chris said blushing.
Jack looked at Chris studying his expression to see what the deal was.
Jack reached down and adjusted himself (which only got him harder) while Missy was trying to shuffle the cards only managing to spill them everywhere. He didn't know why being a teenager meant that you were constantly horny and always hungry. He figured he was a growing boy but this was just pathetic. Having a hard on in Spanish class. There wasn't anything sexy going on there.
Except Missy sucking on a Tootsie Pop. Which wasn't very hot because he'd seen it a million times and plus she wasn't very good a giving head anyways. Matt was always better. He tried not to think about how much hotter it was to having a guy going down on him than Missy.
Every thought he had was a chain reaction. He doubted he would be able to rid himself of these thoughts until he got home and scheduled for a little time alone with Jack Jr.
The bell rang before Courtney and Missy could pick the cards off the floor. Jack forced himself to stay and help and not run straight home and lock himself in the bathroom for an hour. Chris helped pick up the cards too.
It stuck Jack as odd the way Chris was holding his book bag in front of him. Then it occurred to him. Chris was hard too. Jack knew Chris was into him but he had that wounded thing going on so Jack wasn't about to rush him into anything and risk hurting him even more.
Chris sighed to himself it seemed like Missy had dropped more than fifty two cards. Partly because she kept dropping the same ones until they made her stop helping. Finally, all the cards were off the floor. Chris put them back into the box and put them on Mrs. Day's desk.
She smiled at him and continued talking on her cell phone. When he walked out into the hall Jack was waiting for him. Fortunately, Missy and Courtney spilt and Jack seemed happy about it.
"I hope today didn't freak you out much." Jack said as they started walking out of the building.
"You call this weird. I grew up around stuff way weirder than you can imagine. I know what you're thinking that I'm gonna skip school tomorrow or something. But I'm so gonna be here. When things start getting weird at least you know they're going to be interesting." Chris said.
"You haven't seen weird until you meet my mom. She the total poster woman for weird." Jack said.
"What does she do?" Chris asked.
"She's a professor at the University." Jack said.
"That doesn't sound too weird." Chris said.
"That's not the weird part." Jack said.
"I'm sure she's not that weird." Chris said.
"You have met my little brother. He is the product of her weird ways." Jack said.
"We just got a T.V." Jack said.
"You mean a new T.V.?" Chris said.
"No the first one we've ever had." Jack said.
Chris stopped walking and stared at Jack with his mouth open.
"You didn't even have a T.V.? What did you do all day?" Chris asked. Jack stopped too.
"Made shadow puppets." Jack said.
Chris raised an eyebrow. Jack laughed.
"I'm just joking. I'm not really much of a couch potato. I'd rather be running." Jack said.
"When you run what do you run from?" Chris asked.
"I don't think I understand." Jack said simply frowning as he considered what Chris was saying.
"I guess I run away from everything. My mom, my grades, everything. The whole world just goes away and it's just me and the road." Jack said.
"That's how I feel when I play. Nothing matters it's just me against the music." Chris said.
"I'd like to hear you play one day." Jack said. Chris blushed.
"I'm not all that great." He stammered.
"Sure you are." Jack said.
"Which way?" Jack asked once they got off school grounds.
"Excuse me?" Chris asked.
"I'm going to walk you home. Which way do you live?" Jack asked.
"Th- that way." Chris managed to point left.
Orbing would have been faster than walking four blocks sporting a semi.
"I don't live to far from here either. Hart's a tiny town. A total nothing community but somehow I still manage to get into trouble." Jack said as they started down a street.
"How so?" Chris asked. Jack sighed.
"Technically it's not my fault. Bobby up and does things and I end up taking the blame for it." Jack said.
"You sound like a good brother for taking the blame all the time, Bobby's lucky to have you." Chris said.
Jack looked at Chris he could tell this was a touchy subject so he moved on to the next topic, "So where's your job interview?"
"Abercrombie and Fitch. I'm not a real snazzy dresser or anything so I'm going to totally be out of my depth." Chris said.
"You'll be getting that employee discount. So maybe that will change." Jack said.
"Hey. Are you implying that my wardrobe sucks?" Chris asked.
"In a word yes. I'd have to look at all your clothes to make a correct diagnosis but right now I think you have fashion-itis. A debilitating illness where in your fashion sense is totally disabled and you wear pants that are much too big even though you have a great ass." Jack caught himself before he went further.
Chris laughed.
"This is my block." Chris said.
"I live in that building over there." Chris said pointing to a building just a little further down.
One of the nicer apartment complexes in Hart.
"Rent must be killer." Jack said.
"Yep. Otherwise I would not even think about taking a job in retail. I'd much rather work in a bar or a café or something." Chris said.
"You want to come in?" Chris asked when they were standing on the front steps of his building.
"Yeah sure. My mom doesn't get off until five and Bobby is at a friends house and someone stole our T.V. And I'm babbling aren't I?" Jack asked. Chris nodded.
"I don't usually babble but with everything that's happened today. I'm kind of nervous." Jack said.
"It's totally understandable. If your nervous about coming in you don't have to the place is a wreck anyways. I'll just see you tomorrow." Chris said.
"Maybe that would be best." Jack said.
Knowing that chances were if he went up to Chris' apartment he would end up hitting on him.
"You can come over tomorrow for dinner and meet my mom." Jack said.
"I might have to work that is if I get hired. But if I can I will totally come." Chris said.
"Great then." Jack said.
He didn't know what to do at this point. He couldn't kiss Chris. He wanted to but they were on a public street and people were passing by and he didn't want rush Chris into anything. Chris smiled and stuck out his hand for Jack to shake.
"Later man." Chris said shaking Jack's hand.
"Yeah later." Jack said as he started down the street.
He watched for a second over his shoulder as Chris walked into his building and then he ran all the way home
