Friends

I wake up in the arms of Jason. I turn and scoot until we're face to face. Jason's still asleep and I just admire his face. When I can't stand it anymore I kiss his nose and wake him up. His eyes slowly open and when he sees me he smiles. "Good morning," he says. "Good morning," I say and smile back. This time he kisses me and we just lay there. When Jason gets up I laugh and say, "Your hair looks like a haystack." "You're one to talk," he says with a chuckle. I stretch and ask "What do you want to do today?" "I don't care as long as I'm with you," Jason says. "Culver City High School. I was actually getting some books at the Barnes & Noble for culinary. That's how I first met Gus," Jason says with a smile and gently squeezes my hand. "Speaking of which when are you graduating?" I ask Jason. He hesitates then says, "It's the 21st. This Friday." "Why didn't you tell me?" I ask a little hurt. "Because it's not a big deal, my family isn't even going to be there," Jason explains.

"Babe this is a big deal. You're graduating high school. I'm going to be there. Plus it's a luxury I never got. So I'm going to make this special for you," I say then whisper into his ear how I'm going to make it special. He starts to blush and shakily takes a sip of his coffee. Then Rigo speaks up and says, "You know I'm still here, right?" I look up and say, "Sorry." "You guys look good with each other. It's been a while since I saw Gus this happy," Rigo says with a smile. After we finish our coffee we take Rigo back and head back to my apartment. "I have to go back. But I guess I'll be seeing you this Friday, won't I?" Jason says. "You know it," I say then kiss him goodbye. He walks to his car then drives out. I head back planning things for Friday.
