The Brothers Return

This is the story of what happened when Derek introduced me to Jordan. His brother.

Much like the time between our first and second sexual experience together, little was said about anything that had happened. Strangely our relationship had remained much the same, no awkwardness or pauses in conversation. Basically life went on as though nothing had happened; which was fine for me and evidently for Derek too. The happy atmosphere was broken, however, when Derek’s brother came back from New York. He had arrived only 3 hours before Derek hadd led me back to his house as usual where we would play video games for a few hours until my mom got back from work. I’m sure who was more shocked to see him lying on Derek’s bed, watching a film of his Tv. After a brief moment of silence on both parts, simultaneously the two brother cried out eachothers name and jumped together into a huge hug. It was to be expected, they hadn’t seen eachother for years; of course this little family get together made me feel extremely awkward, not knowing where to look or whether to speak. I didn’t remain like that for too long though, Derek swiftly introduced us and Jordan was extremely polite to me, there was no reason as to why he shouldn’t be. Not much happened that evening or any other evening, nothing until half term at school.

Jordan had arranged with his parents that he was going to stay in the spare bed in Derek’s room for a few months, just until he could find a new place to live back in this country. The two brothers got on together great, no sibling rivalry there; I often envied the relationship they had. Being an only child I had never known what it was like to have and brothers or sisters therefore I didn’t really understand what it was like. The love was evident between them – they very rarely disagreed, never mind argued with each other. It was like they each knew what the other was thinking every second of every day. I, however, was getting bored of Jordans company; the time between getting in from school and having to go back to my house had been the only time, outside of school, that Derek and I had completely alone.
