Chapter 6

Luke was just starting on his homework when his cell phone rang. Sighing he put down his pen and looked at the display to see who it was. Not recognizing the number, he shrugged before answering with a quick "Luke Snyder".

"Well good afternoon to you too"

"Noah?" Luke asked surprised.

"At last he recognizes me" Noah joked, a small laugh escaping him.

"How did you get my number?"

"I cheated and looked through school records. I'm glad they had your cell phone number on there though because it would have been hard to explain to your parents why your university professor was calling you after the first day of school".

Luke could hear the smile in Noah's voice and couldn't help but laugh.

"Abusing your status already Mr. Mayor?"

"Maybe, just a little, but I figured you wouldn't exactly mind."

When it stayed quiet on Luke's end, Noah got a little insecure.

"Or did I figure wrong. You don't mind that I called do you Luke?"

"No! No, of course I don't mind that you called, I'm actually glad you did. I'm just… surprised I guess you could say."

"Honestly? I'm kind of surprised I called too. When I started college to become a teacher, we had this discussion once about relationships between teachers and students and I remember so many people saying that if you liked or loved someone then your position shouldn't matter and I never understood any of that until now."

Taking a deep breath, Noah waited for Luke to interrupt him. When he didn't, Noah decided on a question.

"Luke, what are we doing?"

"I don't know" Luke answered honestly. When he felt like Noah was going to interrupt him, he quickly went on.

"I don't know, but I'd like to find out. That is, if that's what you want too"

"Of course that's what I want too" Noah answered immediately, not wanting Luke to doubt him for a second. He had no idea what it was about the boy that attracted him so much, but he was not willing to let him go without at least a chance to find out.

"Okay…" Luke said, not really sure what else to say. "Now what?"

"How about dinner? Do you think your parents would let you bail on them on such short notice?"

"I don't know, I'd have to check. Can you hold on for a minute"

"Sure" Noah said. He was willing to give Luke all the time he needed and that alone surprised him. It had been almost 5 years ago when he had come out as being gay and not once had he ever felt this connection with someone so quickly. Sure he had met guys he had liked and even guys he had wanted more then just a one night stand with, but he had never felt nervous before and that was exactly what he had felt before calling Luke… nervous.

"Noah, you still here?" he suddenly heard Luke say.

"Of course" Noah answered with a smile. Like there was any chance of him hanging up on Luke.

"It took some convincing, but my mom said it was okay if I went out tonight. So what did you have in mind?"

"How about I pick you up in 2 hours?"

"Where are you going to take me?" Luke asked, a hint of flirtation in his voice.

"It's a surprise" Noah flirted right back. "But I'll promise to make it worth your while"

"I'm sure you will," Luke now said laughing.

"So I'll pick you up in 2 hours? Dress nice, but nothing too fancy okay?"

"Whatever you say Mr. Mayer," Luke said with a sneaky smile.

Hearing Noah sigh, Luke knew he was going to be saying Mr. Mayer a lot more if it gt that kind of response from the other man.

"See you in 2 hours Luke," Noah said before hanging up.

Putting down the phone, Luke had a huge smile on his face. Noah had looked up his number at school and now they were going on an actual date.

Throwing his cell phone on his bed, Luke opened his closet and looked through his wardrobe. Picking up several outfits, he threw them on the bed into piles of maybe and absolutely not until his entire closet was empty.

"This isn't working," he said to himself and quickly grabbed his cell phone.

Punching in some numbers, he waited for the person on the other end to answer and when they did, he threw a quick "I need fashion advice" their way before closing his phone and dropping down on his chair again.

Tonight was going to be great, he just had to get through the two hours of waiting and finding the perfect outfit before he could relax.
