Chapter 9—To Be Gay or Not To Be Gay…That Is the Question

Who knows what could happen?

Do what you do

Just keep on laughing

One things true there's always a brand new day

I'm going to live today like it's my last day

Find yourself

'Cause I can't find you

Be yourself

Who are you?

Will spotted a man with a dashing gray streak at the temple of his head and immediately made his way over to him.

"Remus, it's so good to see you again," he said batting his eyelashes alluringly.

Remus fought the urge to shake his head at the five-foot-nine, brunette man, who took the seat across from him. "Thanks Will its good to see you again."

"So what are we going to do today?" Will asked in an excited tone.

"I'm not exactly sure...I thought that we could just have some lunch…and talk," Remus said while grabbing the menu to browse through it.

"Oh that sounds good," Will said, staring at Remus intently, trying to pick up any signs that would suggest that he was gay.

The two sat in an awkward silence. Will trying to determine Remus' sexual preference and Remus trying to think of a way to let Will down gently enough that they were still friends, therefore ensuring that his mission would continue, but severe enough that he understood immediately that he was indeed not interested in him, because he had set his sights upon another.

"So…Remus," Will began in a suspicious voice, "have you ever seen a Broadway play?"

"No."

"Oh."

The silence once again surrounded the two. Remus looking at the menu with minimum interest, and Will stealing sly glances at Remus, while pretending to be absorbed in the selections on the menu.

"Which era do you think was Cher's best?"

"Cher? Who's Cher?" Remus asked with a blank look on his face.

"Holy Rolling Stones! You don't know who Cher is…she's only like the Goddess of the Gays," Will screeched while clutching dramatically at his heart. "I think I may faint…waiter-gasp- water-gasp- stat! She's only like one of the greatest singers and entertainers in the world!"

"Will calm down…it's not that bad…I don't know a lot of the American musicians…" Remus said putting emphasis on his British accent. "I'm from England."

"Who gives a flying nipple clip that you're from England…you don't know who Cher is…what kind of gay man are you?" he asked still in hysterics.

"I'm not gay."

"What! And you've been leading me on this entire time," Will shrieked standing from his chair.

"I haven't been leading you on…I thought we were friends," Remus said soothingly, "Aren't we friends Will? Does it really matter that I like being with women?"

"Um…well…I guess," Will said squirming from foot to foot, "I guess it doesn't matter," he said sitting back in his seat quietly.

"Okay…well now that's all out in the open, how about we go for a walk around the city," Remus offered, hoping to get away from the gawking lunch crowd.

"I guess that would be nice," Will said standing from his chair, acting as if nothing had happened. "Ciao everyone, the fabulous people are leaving," he called out as they exited leaving everyone in a small stunned silence.

While walking down the streets of New York, the two noticed Jessica's boyfriend, Fin, talking to a petite fair-haired figure. "Hey I think that's Fin, Jessica, you remember Jessica, don't you Remus, well in case you don't, she's my best friend…amazing girl, really, you'll have to meet her…but anyway like I was saying, that's Fin, her boyfriend, who I might like to add, does not know where she lives, isn't that wild, yes, yes, darling I know it's crazy, but well Jessica tends to be a bit paranoid at times, but like I was saying, who's that blond he's with?

"Is he cheating on her? He better not be, because if he is, he'll have the two of us to answer to," Remus raised his eyebrows at this. As Will continued to ramble on, Remus noticed a graying woman, with eccentric violet eyes, she winked discretely at him, after he sent her a dashing smile.

Fin walked briskly down the street, listening half-heartedly to the fair woman walking beside him.

"He needs you to hurry, he's getting impatient."

"Yes, yes, I know, but I can't rush things with her, no matter how impatient he's becoming," he said in a bored, rushed tone, trying desperately to rid himself of her.

"Look," she snapped grabbing his arm, "I would watch that tone of yours, because if you don't do your job, he'll have not only your head, but your entire body, among other things."

Fin shook her hand off of his arm, before hissing, "Don't you forget who resides in me and is supporting me, because I'll have not only your head, but your entire body, among other things," he said with a dangerous glare in his eye.

"Now, you better go, because I think that's Jessica best friend, Will, and he'll probably go buzzing in her ear, telling her I'm cheating on her, and that would put a large dint in our plans, and we wouldn't want that, now would we," he said mockingly.

"No, we wouldn't," the flaxen woman sneered back, before disappearing into the crowd.

Throughout the entire exchange of words, neither figures noticed the pair of violet eyes watching the entire scene and listening to the entire argument.

Again sorry for the shortness, but please REVIEW anyway.
