Chapter Nineteen – Forget Me Not
Chris was the first one to be out of the shower, due to this shower being his second one. He left the hunk to soak up more water under the shower, while he changed once again and prepared the dinner table for them to eat, since the young witch was starving, especially after the second shower session.
"Hurry up Wy, dinner's getting cold." Chris called out as he placed the last piece of cutlery on plate before grabbing couple of cherry tomatoes from the salad bowl to chow down, to stall his hunger.
"Coming, Just a sec…" Wyatt's voice shouted back, while Chris tried not to think about the slippery slope of Wyatt's abs that soap studs playing around with – however the young witch was snapped out of his thoughts by the rapid knock erupted at the front door, alarming him as he lightly jumped at the ferocity of the banging.
"Hang on!" Chris shouted as he made his way to the door, while the rapid knocking still continued. Taking a quick peek over the peep hole, he found pair of large hazel eyes staring right back at him, starling the witch again as he backed away from the peep hole.
"I know you're in there Chris!" Bianca' voice filtered through the door as Chris eyes widened in horror at the voice. Daring to take another peek through the peep hole, he found his friends standing on the other side of the door.
"Oh Shit!" Chris hissed as he quickly raked his brain for a plausible reason he could give his friends for not letting them know why he couldn't meet them up - but when his brain came up with blank, he knew he was screwed.
"Don't make me break the door down Christopher." Bianca shouted in an irritated voice from the other side as Chris slowly opened the door with a nervous smile to confront the Phoenix witch and the mortal – only he was stumped by their appearance, since both of them looked as if they fell out of aircraft and got dragged through forest in alarming speed. They both had leaves and twigs sticking out of their hair and clothes - not to mention, the mud smears on their faces, the various cuts and rips on their clothes and body.
"Hey Guys!" Chris said with a nervous mile as Tom entered the house, while Bianca hissed.
"Not a word!" Bianca said holding her hand up to cut the young witch off, as she took a step into his flat – at least she tried to, only to be slammed back into the corridor by the magical barrier.
"Bri!" Chris shouted as he rushed to the Phoenix, who hissed as she pulled herself into a sitting position.
"What the hell is that?" Bianca shouted just as Pink light appeared at the doorway and faded - – indication that the barrier been removed, while Tom cautiously stepped out of the apartment. "Why on earth have you got a flipping magical barrier around your place?"
"The twins had a mishap with powers earlier on, causing everyone's powers to switch places, so Penelope put a magical barrier around the place until it was sorted out." Chris said as he helped her up, while the Mortal nodded with much interest. "But what happened to you guys?"
"Your damn barrier is what happened dude." Tom hissed looking at the various cuts on his face and exposed arms.
"Huh?"
"We tried to shimmer in but your god damn thing blasted us into central Park." Tom groaned as Chris' looked little taken back.
"Ouch!"
"Central Park, New York!" Bianca snapped as Chris' eyes widened at the comment.
"I-I-I-I I had no idea, sorry guys." Chris apologised as Bianca shook her head.
"Forget it, so wanna tell us why you didn't bother letting us know about this?" Bianca asked folding her arms, while Chris shrugged lightly.
"We were there for an hour dude and the guy kicked us out when you didn't show up." Tom said as Chris looked guilty – already the image of his friends getting kicked out of the Trobulane centre coming into his head.
"You got any idea how humiliated we were when he gave our place to the next people in the line?" Bianca hissed as Chris shook his head, while realising that somehow he was backed into the wall that the phoenix was slammed into, while his friends stood hovering above him with a menacing look on their face.
"In the end, we ended up having to wrestle the man in charge," Tom said looking at his friend, while Chris gulped. "But the damn asshole called the security guard on us."
"I'm soooo sorry guys, I was going to text but then so many things happened, it slipped my mind, you gotta understand me." Chris said as Bianca folded her arms and looked at him, while Tom rubbed his side. "I promise we'll go there tomorrow."
"We can't." Bianca snapped back rolling her shoulders in pain.
"Why not?" Chris asked as Tom and Bianca looked at each other before glaring at the Witch in anger.
"Because we got banned from that place, that's why, genius." Tom snapped as Chris backed himself even further away from his pissed off friends. "Bianca ended up breaking the guy's nose."
"Bianca!" Chris said in a voice of utter shock.
"Hey, you lodged that guy's nuts into his body, so don't blame me." Bianca snapped at Tom, who shrugged. "They had to take him to a hospital."
"Then we did an immediate bail out, and only got slammed into your damn thing." Tom muttered pulling the left over leaves out of his hair.
"Chris, Is everything alright here?" a Voice said causing the three to glance towards the door, to find half naked Wyatt – Wrapped only in his towel - standing by the doorway, giving cautious look towards at Bianca and Tom with his right eyebrow arched – in manner that said 'Is there any trouble here?'
"Err…Yeah, sure everything is fine Wyatt." Chris said with a smile as Wyatt once again eyed Bianca and Tom, before looking at Chris.
"Well, if you need anything let me know." Wyatt said a firm tone before walking away, not before giving Bianca and Tom a final look.
"Wow, do you think by any chance I can get his workout schedule?" Tom asked Chris with his mouth lightly open – while shrugged with widening his eye, to indicate he has no clue.
"Wait, this is what kept you busy?" Bianca said looking at Chris, who chuckled nervously. "When, how? I thought you weren't even speaking to him and all of the sudden he's walking around half naked in your place?"
"Seriously he has got a body I would die for." Tom said as Chris raised an eyebrow at him. "Not in the gay sense, I meant I would love to have it myself…you know what I mean?"
Chris shook his head but looked at Bianca, who looked beyond mad.
"I don't even know why we bother with you sometimes." Bianca snapped as Chris looked taken back.
"What?"
"You ditched us for this guy, who, you've been swearing at 24 hours ago, promising that you never even walk in the same road if you come across him."
"Yeah, but that was…."
"You know what, I don't care what you do Chris, but at least have the decency to let us know if you can't make it, instead of having us on your fall back option." Bianca snapped at Chris before glancing towards Tom. "Come on Tom, we're leaving, obviously Chris here is way too busy for us." With that note, she dragged Tom away to her apartment, leaving Chris completely confused on what just happened in that hallway.
"That's just great!" Chris thought to himself as Bianca slammed the door shut, leaving Chris to groan out before making his way back to his apartment.
###############
Dinner went smoothly for Wyatt and Chris, while the hunk really went overboard with his compliments about the food - but the witch didn't complain, in fact he loved every minute of it as he blushed like a school girl. After Dinner, Wyatt made few phone calls to his friends to let them know about his whereabouts, while Chris mentally kicked himself for not doing that earlier on – now Bianca and Tom are not talking to him. Despite the situation may not seem like a big deal, it still a big deal since both of them got banned from the centre because they fought for their place in hope of Chris turning up – Imagine if that happens to you, getting banned only to find out, your friend was busy with someone else and didn't bother contacting you to let you know what was happening – Bianca seemed understanding in the power switch situation, but Chris figured what flipped her switch off was the sight of half-naked Wyatt in her apartment – clear indication the power trouble wasn't the only thing that kept Chris from making it to the mall.
Chris sat on the couch, drowned deep in thoughts, he didn't even hear Wyatt calling out to him, until he felt Wyatt's arms embrace him from behind.
"Hey!" Wyatt whispered next to Chris' ears as the young witch turned to look at the blonde with smile, in response Wyatt gave a small peck on the brunette's lips. "You okay?"
"Yeah," Chris nodded with a smile. "So what do you wanna do?" at this Wyatt straightened up with a tight smile.
"I've gotta take off." Wyatt said as the emerald eyes before him looked disappointed.
"Oh…" Chris said with a little nod.
"It just, I've got work tomorrow and I've gotta drive back to LA now." Wyatt said to the brunette in an apologetic tone as Chris nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, I understand." Chris replied getting off the couch to face Wyatt. Once again feeling the sting of pain surging through his heart, Chris smiled at Wyatt.
"I'll drive back soon as I'm done." Wyatt said to Chris as the young witch shook his head.
"No, you don't have to do that, Wyatt. It's alright…" Chris trailed off as Wyatt walked around the couch to take Chris' hand.
"But I want to…" Wyatt said with a sincere note on his tone. "Believe me when I say this that I really wish I didn't have to go right now, because… waking up next to you is the best thing I have got going so far…" Wyatt said earning Chris' chuckle. "But I'm on contract, so I have no choice. I'll have to be there."
"I understand." Chris replied back with a nod.
"But I promise I'll be here soon as I'm done." Wyatt said as Chris looked into the blue eyes. They seemed sincere and genuine. "I like you so much Chris."
"I like you too." Chris replied back with a smile as Wyatt cupped his face and looked deep into his eyes.
"I think…." Wyatt whispered, leaning in close to Chris without breaking his eye contact. "I'm falling for you…"
"I think I'm falling for you too…" Chris whispered back as Wyatt looked into the emerald eyes that shined like a gem against the light. Glancing down at the red lips before him, the blonde closed the gap by pressing his lips with Chris, while sliding his arms down to wrap them around pull the brunette's slender figure to close to him.
###############
The drive back to LA didn't seem long like Wyatt remembered, but then again it could be for numerous reasons – for one being, he was happy and content than he had been in the past few weeks. Chris really diverted his mind from loss of his nana, although it hurts him, he can still remember the conversation he had with Chris before he left the brunette's flat.
~~Flashback~~
"Wy, I know losing your gran must be the hardest thing at the moment," Chris said gazing into the blue eyes. "But you can't let that stop you from moving on, I know there are going to be some hard times ahead of you but I'm pretty sure you Gran wouldn't want you to thrown in the towel. The best you can do to honour your Gran and the sacrifice she has done for you' is by living your life to the max and be the man, she'll be proud of."
Wyatt shook his head, tears blurring his vision. He knew deep inside, his Gran can never be proud of what he does; it will only bring shame on her. Oh god, how he misses her so much, he still can't believe she's gone, for some reason he keeps on hoping that when he gets back, she'll be there smiling and waiting for him, but deep down he knew that is not going to happen.
"I doubt I can make her proud." Wyatt whispered as Chris tilted his head to look at the blonde.
"You don't know that." Chris said as Wyatt exhaled deeply. "Whatever you did or you chose to do, She'll know that you'll make the right decision, even if you think you won't – she may be gone Wyatt, but she'll be there, she will always guide you when you need her, just trust your heart on that."
Wyatt merely looked at Chris with a smile and nodded. Chris smiled back, hoping one day; if he did reveal his secret to Wyatt that he could summon his grandmother for him.
"Remember this; she has moved on to a better place – corny as that might sound, it's true." Chris said earning a chuckle from Wyatt.
"Thank you Chris." Wyatt whispered as Chris smiled.
"For what?" Chris asked the hunk but in response Wyatt merely shrugged.
"Being here for me." Wyatt replied back as Chris shrugged in turn.
"What can I say; I'm a sucker for a hunk in distress." Chris said with a cheeky smile as Wyatt laughed at the brunette.
End of Flashback
Wyatt smiled a little to himself as he pulled up at the driveway of his bungalow. Clicking the remote to open the shutter, he slowly parked the vehicle inside before existing to the house through the side door.
He knew tomorrow is going to be yet another day in his god forsaken job, but at least he has something to look forward to it at the end. After all, he's only doing a couple cover shoots at the studio - for a magazine, a calendar and some personalised postcards - so he should be done by four in the evening, max – then he can go and meet Chris up.
"Yup, tomorrow is going to be very interesting day." Wyatt thought to himself as he made his way to the bedroom – only to smile at the sight of his room – how he missed his comfy bed, kicking his shoes off, Wyatt allowed himself to drop into the bed, as the mattress moulded around the hunk – as Wyatt sighed in relief.
