CH 4 The one with all the talking

After the party I began to think. What should I do? My own problem was pretty simple to solve just talk with the guy and get it over with. But what to do with Jes straight approach is clearly wrong way to solve this. Should I just give it time and let her come out of the closet when she feels like it? I had an idea that I would talk to Carol or Susan abaut it but that could also end up in to more troubles that it would solve... Before I could think any further my mom knocked on the door.

" Hey it's me, can I come in?"

" Of course, it's open" I answered

" Hey is everything okay? I sensed some tension between you and Jes before she left"

As usual nothing like this could go past my mom without noticing. Against my better judgement I decided to tell her the whole story...

"Well yeah we had a little misunderstanding. Nothing more I think we're fine now." I said that how I felt abaut it couldn't be sure though before I would see Jes again

"Okay, would you like to tell me what was the misunderstanding abaut? Maybe I can give you advice... I haven't seen Jes like that in long time so I'm just little worried okay?" Mom said with carring voice

" Well okay to put it simple I think... (I took a long pause) That she's gay, and would like to come out of the closet but doesn't just know how. I think her reaction pretty much proved that atleast there is something going on... I'm not saying there is something wrong with it, or I should force her out of the closet, but I just would like to be able to help. I convinced her that I dont think she's gay but I think she might think that I know the truth and thats why she's acting like she's hurt from what I said. Am I making any sense?" I stopped realising that my mom look's like she didn't know what to say which is pretty rare for her...

"Um what makes you think that she might be gay? my mom asked in disbielief

" Well first I saw her staring in the emptiness with kind of a look, you know? Then I startted to talk to her abaut it, assuming it was a guy and thought that I might be able to help. At that point she started to use he, she and him , her pretty much mixed. And I think that she spoke much more passionatly and honestly when she was used. Of course I can't be sure yet but I have a strong feeling that, there is more to the story than just grammar mistakes." I said little confused now

"Honey you're making pretty big assumptions based on small ammount of fact's. You haven't seen her kissing a girl or even looking girl on that way. I don't say that you're nececearly wrong, but be careful you don't wanna lose friend for something like this... Of course you know that you could talk to Carol or Susan, but I don't think they can tell you anything that you don't allready know... If you want my advice I think its best to just wait for atleast to point where you can 100% sure... You know Jes, she will tell you and Alex when time is right to tell, if there is something to tell..." Mom said

"Yeah I guess you're right. This just came so out of nowhere, I mean I have known Jes almost 10 years now and still I didn't see this coming. I think I better apologize Jes. Well thanks mom for advice" I said smiling

"That's what mom is here for, just be careful what ever you decide to do." Mom left the room

Well I quess that settled it. I quess I can't do anything for this for now. I quessed it was better to just consentrate on my own problems I decided to start tomorrow shouldn't be that difficult. If Alex could find her courage how difficult could it really be?

Well as I found out next day it was harder than I thought, I found some pieces of info here and there. His name was Daniel, his parents are divorced and he sucks at math. Well even there there is something to grap on like the math problem maybe I could tutor him for the test for next friday. Maybe see if I can set up a date after for "reward".

Day was almost over, and hadn't have a decent chance to talk to him, but now I saw him in school library clearly fustrated over something on the closer look I saw that he was trying to figure math problem. Of course I decided to offer help.

"Um hi. I'm just guessing but are you having some troubles with math?" I asked trying to be as calm as possible

" Argh I just hate math it has given me allways troubles at school. Hey I remember someone calling you genious when it comes to science subjects. Could you tutor me? I really wanna do good on this upcoming test" He clearly was getting his hopes up.

"Of course I will help you on this test, but do you know what they usually call me? I asked with a smile

"No... I thought that it genious would be enough" He said clearly nervous

"Yeah it is more than enough don't worry, but I still prefer Emma though." I offered my hand

"Of course where are my manners, I'm Daniel, or just Dan for short, but enough joking arround I seriously need help with these..." He said taking my hand and still wondering how did he manage to get a girl of his dreams to his tutor.

Couple hours passed and Dan seemed to get the hang of it I don't get it why he did have so much trouble with it in the first place. He seemed to check me out at time to time but I pretended not to notice it. I didn't wanna make it too easy for him. My cell started to ring I had forgotten the time I was suppose to meet Jes and Alex 20 minutes ago. Well I picked it up

"Oh hi Alex, sorry didn't notice time I'll come as soon as I can" I said quickly

"If you're still with the guy then take your time we can wait, but we expect to hear everything afterwards." Alex said teasingly

"Fine I should be just abaut done for today. So see you in abaut 30 minutes okay?" I tried to keep my calm

" Okay" I heard after that I hang up

"Oh you need to go, it's fine I think I have gotten pretty good at this" Dan said Trying to hide his nervousnes

" Are you sure, you know we could do this more if you want to you. Allthough I'm not sure did you ever have troubles with these at anypoint, or did you just need an excuse for being together with me?" I asked straight.

His face blushed complitely red realising that I had noticed him checking me out, now I knew I had him pretty much where I wanted. Now it was just abaut whose gonna ask who out.

"I-I guess we could continue this tomorrow. Fact is I wanna do good on this test, but you're right abaut me wanting to spend time with you... So could we set a date maybe later this week, maybe after test?" Dan said hopefully

"Hm I have to warn you I have pretty overprotective parents when it comes to dating, so could we keep this as a secret for now, of course I will tell my friends and I have a feeling one of my friends may need help so maybe a double date on friday? " I asked knowing that if Alex and Jack want to keep this as a secret too they will need help too

"I was abaut to suggest the same thing my mother can be little over protective sometimes and she's not easy to fool either, but I'll figure out something. Should we exchange phonenumbers for now?" Dan said taking out his phone

"Good idea, but use text if possible I can never know who's listening" I said

"Good point text if we can, I hope we can make this work." He said smiling

" I'm sure we will and don't hide forever just for the begining okay... just so we know where we are going- But now I have to go, so tomorrow same place and time? " I asked pretty much knowing the answer

"Fine by me. By the way didn't catch your last name?" He asked

"Geller and yours?" I didn't see problem with it so why not

"Waltham" He answered

Why did it sound so familiar? I'm pretty sure I have heard the name before somewhere but he just moved from London doesn't make much sense. Well I decided to let it go for now. got more important things in mind. Time to head to the cafe

Well but time for a first cliffhanger so Review, Follow, Favorite if you liked and tell me why you did/didn't like it all feedback is more than welcome. Next time we continue with TOW setting up double date
