My eyes went wide as his lips made contact on my skin. I started blushing and could feel the heat building up inside me. What was this feeling? Why am I getting all hot from a kiss? more importantly, from a guy's kiss? I felt confused. All my life, I believed I was straight. But now? I'm not so sure.
"B-lake? Why did you just k-iss me?" I stuttered, my cheeks flushing red. Blake was all silent, looking at me with a dazed, somewhat drugged smile.
"Blake?" I asked, still shocked at what happened.
"I'm sorry, did you call me?" he asked teasingly.
"Yeah, I said Blake didn't I?" I said. He just stared at me, smiling and arching an eyebrow.
"I don't know this 'Blake' person you speak about." he said as he laid down on the bed, ruffling his chestnut brown hair. He took deep, steady breaths. His chest slowly rising up and down and I just noticed at how muscular he was. He was really hot, for a guy I mean.
"Hey! I said I don't know this 'Blake' person you speak about." he said getting a little annoyed that I ignored his first quip.
"Oh" I said as I shook my head, clearing my mind. "Blak-e-y" I said, emphasizing every syllable of the word.
"There you go Mikey!" he said smiling.
"Why'd you kiss me then?" I asked, not that I minded, I was just curious about his behavior. Even drunk, I assumed you knew what you were doing and the reasons behind doing them.
"Didn't you like it?" he said frowning.
"No, but.." I was cut off as Blake pulled me in a tight hug, making me lie down on top of him, my back to his chest.
"Whoa! What are you doing?!" I exclaimed as he held me tighter. I didn't resist though. He moved so that he was laying sideways and he made space for me so that I was laying on the bed too.
"I want you to stay here with me Mikey!" he said, draping his arm over my chest and pulling me against him.
"Blake.. I mean Blakey, I can't….. what if someone come's here?… or what if someone see's us? I can't.. I mean… are you?" I fumbled for the words, it was hard to think when I my mind was racing and heart was pounding heavily at the closeness of Blake to me. It was too much.
"No. I'm not gay." He said flatly.
"Then why?" I asked
"I don't know Mikey….. When I first saw you…. There was something that sparked inside me. I dunno but, like we were destined to meet…." He said, his voice trailing off in thought. "I'm sorry if I sound like crap, and I'm sorry if I'm freaking you out by doing this… but… I like the feeling I get when I'm with you…" he said as he placed his nose on top of my head.
I was so…. I don't know… happy? Somehow it was like I understood what Blake was saying, it's like with him, I could be anything I wanted to and not feel judged. In my previous schools, people always thought I was weird, a misfit and always avoided me. I wasn't ugly or anything but people didn't want to be with me or be seen with me. Growing up, I didn't really mind it but now when I thought about it, I felt hurt and sad. I had a miserable childhood, with no friends. I couldn't help it but a tear traveled down my face. I sniffed and Blake moved so he could see my face.
"Are you crying Mikey?" he asked, voice full of concern. "You are." he said as he saw me. I couldn't help it, the tears all came and I couldn't stop them. I felt so embarrassed crying in front of him and I tried to hide my face.
"I'm sorry if I kissed you." Blake said sadly, stroking my face and wiping a tear.
"No,no, it's not that… I never had any friends before and…. It's just, I'm glad you became my friend Blakey.." I said trying to smile a little. He smiled too and I felt my heart warm up at the sight of him smiling.
"Me too Mikey, Me too." he said as he laid down beside me. He started humming and I tried to pick up the tune. He began singing then.
Tonight we'll change our lives,
It's so good to be by your side
You'll cry
But we won't give up the fight.
I knew this song and I smiled at how he slightly altered the lyrics to fit the situation.
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs,
And they'll think it's just 'cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive
I started singing with him at the chorus.
Throw it away
Forget yesterday
We'll make the great escape
We won't hear a word they say
They don't know us anyways
Watch it burn
Let it die
'Cause we are finally free tonight.
"Didn't know you sang Mikey." he said smiling.
"Yeah, me too." I said. He started laughing
"Maybe you should join Glee club then." He said cheerfully.
"Okay, I'l give it a go then." I said equally as happy.
I enjoyed this special moment with Blake. All in a day, so much has happened. I didn't want it to end.
I hadn't realized that I was beat till my eyelids were battling with me for control. They started closing and opening. I didn't want to sleep, I wanted to enjoy this moment with Blake but my brain wasn't cooperating at all.
Blake soon was asleep too and his heavy breaths made me even feel sleepier, I couldn't get up though since his arms were wrapped around my torso. I finally gave in to sleep, letting the numbness take over my body. I was sure I was asleep but something told me I wasn't in the right place to sleep, like I had to get somewhere.. I couldn't place my finger on it so I welcomed the sleep but somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew something was coming up, and it wasn't good.
