A Recipe For Love
"Zeke! Are you home?" yelled Ryan into the boy's house. "Yes one second! Just getting out of the shower! Want to come upstairs" Zeke yelled back. "OH NO" Zeke thought to himself "was that too suggestive?" He didn't want to come off too strong. His anxious feelings disappeared when he heard Ryan's footsteps ascend the stairs. "Can I come in?" Ryan said. "Yeah just one second! I am pretty wet right now! Let me dry off." Ryan chuckled "Are you trying to seduce me?" Zeke froze "no of course not! Why would you think that" he tensely responded.
"So are you ready to get started with this marbled cake? It's one of my specialties! I love the way the chocolate and vanilla swirl together," said Zeke. Ryan uttered a response "I've never been more ready for anything in my life! I love cake!" "Okay you get to work beating the eggs. Do you think you can manage to do that on your own?" Zeke said. "I mean if your offering help I don't think I could refuse," said Ryan smirking. "If you really want my help I guess I could help," Zeke said sarcastically. Just as Zeke was reaching his arms around Ryan, Sharpay burst in!
"Want are you guys doing!" she yelled. The two boys jumped away from each other. "Nothing" they both said at the same time. "Zeke has been helping me learn to cook in exchange for math tutoring" Ryan exclaimed in defense. "Oh well that explains some things. You guys have been spending quite a lot of time together lately. What are you guys like a couple or something?" "NO" they exclaimed in perfect unison. "Oh I was just joking, but you guys are acting really fucking gay!"
The tears began to flow from Zeke's cheeks, as the offensive words got nothing but net. He turned and ran into his backyard. In the distance he could hear Ryan defending his honor and he felt a little better. Maybe he was gay… that would explain the undeniable pull he felt towards Ryan.
