Chapter Fourteen

"Of course sweetie" Emmett said as he helped Brian off the rock and started to walk to the front of the park. When they got there, Brian looked towards Emmett and asked

"Could we keep this to ourselves please? It's not that … it's that I don't want the others to know I just want to get Justin back first."

"Of course sweetie, I'll keep it quiet and I will help you get your man back I promise." Emmett said as he headed to his house that he shared with Drew, thinking on how to help Brian get his man back.

Brian also headed to his loft and went to bed, ever since meeting Justin, he hadn't tricked at all, and he didn't intend to go back to that life if he can get Justin back. He wanted to have a life with the man and create a family. He believed Justin was the one, he just hoped Justin felt the same.

The next day Brian woke up to banging on the loft door, he had phoned Clive to tell him that he wouldn't be in that day; he needed time to think and get his mind round the fact that was in love. When he opened the door, there stood Emmett, Drew and Michael. He knew why Emmett and Drew would have been there, Emmett couldn't keep anything away from the ex- iron man. But Michael was there for a different reason.

"Brian, you're not dressed." Michael whined

"Why would I be dressed? I'm taking the day off" Brian said as he let the three men in to his loft; he only wanted Emmett and Drew there that morning, he couldn't cope with Michael as well.

"Why are you taking the day off" Michael whined again, he didn't like not knowing what Brian was doing, he was his best friend after all.

"Because I had a business idea for Brian to go over" Drew said as saw the discomfort of man in front of them.

"Oh right, I best go open the shop" Michael said as he started his way to the door

"Mikey, why did you come round this morning?" Brian asked as he watched his friend leave

"I thought you would need a lift to work." Michael said as he turned round and smiled at Brian

"But Mikey, my car is downstairs in the garage." Brian said as he watched the realisation hit Michael that he had been caught lying. He knew he had to do something and soon, so he did the first thing he thought of. Lie.

"Well, someone rang me last night telling me you were drunk so I went to collect you and I couldn't find you so I went home to Ben and Jack." Michael said as he tried to make better himself feel better by lying to Brian

"But I wasn't drunk last night, I stayed in all night" Brian asked as he looked towards Emmett and Drew, hoping they got the message that they didn't tell Michael that he was out, and they didn't. They just looked at Michael with a new view of who he was.

"Anyway, best be off" Michael said as he ran out of the door and down the stairs, leaving the 3 men in the loft very confused over what had just happened.

"Right… I'm sorry but I had to tell Drew last night. I can't keep anything from him, hope you don't mind" Emmett said blushing

"Em I don't mind, I was expecting it really; at least I have two people who can help me win Justin's heart." Brian said as he went to answer the knocking door again. This time he was pleased to see the man on the other side of the door. It was Justin.

"Hey… um… sorry I didn't return your calls. My father told me he wanted to spend the day as a family with no cell phones, just his sons and daddy, sorry." Justin said in one breath, saying what he had been rehearsing all the way over to Brian's loft.

"Oh baby, I thought I fucked it up" Brian said as he pulled Justin in to hug him and letting the tears fall again, Justin pushed them both in the loft and stopped when he saw Emmett and Drew watching them.

"Baby who are they" Justin whispered in Brian's ear. Brian turned round and looked at Emmett and Drew as they stood near the couch smiling. They had never seen Brian so much in love and they liked it.

"Baby these are my best friends Emmett Honeycutt and Drew Boyd, Emmett helped me realise last night that I loved you." Brian said as he pointed first to the two men and then turning to Justin taking his hand.

"Oh Brian, I love you too…I never thought my feelings would be reciprocated" Justin smiled and kissed Brian on the lips and hugging him tighter than before.
