The Dancer_(2)

It all started at the dance performance Intuition. Chris was one of the two people still to be picked up. The other was Jacob, who’s brown hair was slicked back still from the performance and he was still wearing a little eyeliner, making his brown eyes pop in the dim light.
” Hey you were good tonight, Jacob” Chris said sitting down on the same step as his crush of about three weeks with a smile.
” I’m glad you enjoyed it but what are you still doing here Chris?” Jacob asked.
“Mum popped a tyre. She said just to wait here for her.” Chris said frowning a little.
” Oh yeah. That sucks.” Jacob commented.
” How about you?” Chris asked, trying to keep him talking. If they talked then they would become friends and from friends maybe they could become more.
” I’m not sure if my parents are even coming. They are still mad because I almost got suspended today.” he said sadly.
Chris slid over to sit closer to him. ” What did you do this time?” Chris asked.
Jacob looked up into Chris’ eyes and for a second Chris saw a longing buried deep in his eyes, similar to his own.
” I… It… It doesn’t matter.” Jacob said looking away.
” So where are you sleeping, over the weekend?” Chris asked with a light bulb on in his head.
” I really don’t know.” Jacob said defeated. ” I was going to stay with a friend but they bailed.”
“Well if it’s not weird you can stay with me. Oh and my family of course.” Chris said nervously.
Jacob smiled his trademark sexy half smile. Jacob knew the affect his smile had on girls and he liked to see that it affected Chris in the same way.
” That would be amazing, thank you.” Jacob said sincerely.
Chris smiled and pulled out his phone.
” Hey mum can a friend of mine come and stay for the weekend?” Chris asked excitedly.
“Of Course. Have I met her before?” his mum, Ruth, asked.
” No mum. You haven’t met him before” Chris said with emphasis on the him.
“Oh okay. I’ll be there in about 30 minutes at the most.” Ruth said.
“Thank you Mum” Chris said with a smile.
” Your welcome. We don’t need to have a talk about safe sex do we?” she asked.
Chris was gob smacked and quickly stood up and walked out of earshot of Jacob.
” Defiantly not mum. He is just a friend,” Chris said.
” At the moment.” Ruth said teasingly.
” One weekend is not going to change that.” Chris said.
” Is he staying in your room?” Ruth asked.
” Well yes. Where else would he sleep?” Chris said.
” The couch.” Ruth said flatly.
” Look mum; nothing is going on with us. He has been kicked out of his house sort of and I just offered ours because I know we aren’t doing anything and pretty much everyone will be out.” Chris said trying to convince her. ” Besides he is as straight as a ruler.”
” Alright. I’m sorry. Good bye.” Ruth said.
” Bye.” Chris said a little annoyed.
” you know…” Chris heard Jacob behind him and spun around quickly in shock. Jacob was about a meter away and half smiling.
” you can get those flexible rulers that seem all straight until you pick them up.” Jacob said finishing off his thought.
” What?” Chris asked heart still thumping. He couldn’t decide if it was beating hard from the shock or being this close to Jacob.
“Just letting you know, not all rulers are straight.” Jacob said nonchalantly.
” You were listening?” Chris asked scared about what Jacob could have heard.
” only for the last bit. From about you telling your mum all about me and how ruler like I Am.” he said.
” What 30cm long and hard as wood?” Chris spat out not realising what he said until one of Jacobs eyebrows raised with a smile on his face.
” oh my god shoot me now.” Chris said blushing and walking back over to the steps and his bag.
” I wont tell you how close you are to the truth then.” Jacob said smiling. Jacobs phone rang and his smile disappeared.
He looked at Chris apologetically and answered the phone, ” Hey babe.” he said with a bored look on his face.
There was chatter coming from the phone that Chris couldn’t make out.
” nah he dogged me but I found another place to crash at.” he said smiling at Chris.
Chatter that was a bit louder came through.
” It is a guy from school alright,” he said looking irritated.
This seemed to relieve the voice a bit as it chattered on.
“Oh if only she knew” Chris thought smugly to him self.
A string of ” okay, cool, okay, nice, cool.” came from Jacob. Who was looking more bored as the conversation went on.
Suddenly there was a change in tone and Jacob said ” No, not this weekend babe.”
Chris thought he heard a ‘why not?’ come from the phone.
” I’m busy this weekend. Maybe next weekend we can go out.” Jacob said.
There was annoyed chatter coming through.
” I can’t okay. I have so much homework and even if I don’t do it I have other stuff I have to get on with.” Jacob said.
More chatter came through wilder then before.
” That’s not it at all. I’m not like that.” Jacob paused for a second and looked into Chris’ eyes. “I love you.” Jacob said slowly.
This seemed to calm down the voice but it made Chris and Jacob’s heart beats quicken.
” okay babe. Bye.” Jacob said dropping his gaze from Chris’ ashamed.
” so was that your girlfriend?” Chris asked ignoring the strong urge to hug him.
” Yeah. Everyday there is a new drama. You wouldn’t have to deal with that though hey?” Jacob asked with a hint of curiosity.
” well I still have friends that are girls so I get a bit of it.” Chris said shrugging.
” yeah but with your boyfriend?” Jacob asked.
” Never had one. Well not a proper one. There was this one guy I was sort of with for a bit but it didn’t last.” Chris said shrugging.
” That’s too bad.” Jacob said.
” Yeah.” Chris said still thinking about the ‘I love you’ thing that Jacob said and what it meant.
” can I ask you something personal?” Jacob asked.
Chris’ heartbeat quickened. ” Um sure.” he said a little nervously.
” how far have you been with a boy?” Jacob asked looking into Chris’ eyes again.
” Kissing, and I have felt a guys cock through his pants.” Chris said. His eyes involuntary looked down to Jacobs’s crotch.
He cursed himself and looked back up to Jacobs’s eyes.
As he did he noticed Jacob was looking at Chris’ crotch too and half smiling.
Jacob’s eyes re-joined Chris’ and Chris blushed furiously.
” Do guys taste any better then girls?” Jacob asked.
” You sure are asking a lot of questions.” Chris stated.
“Answer the question.” Jacob said.
” It is different for everyone. You will just have to try for your self.” Chris said.
Jacob slid across the step so he was right next to Chris.
” oh really?” Jacob asked leaning in close to Chris.
” yeah…” Chris said taking in a deep breath.
Suddenly they saw a car coming up the school driveway and broke apart before they were in the headlights.
Chris’ mum pulled up and Jacob opened the passenger door.
It took Chris a minute to realise Jacob didn’t want the passenger seat and Chris was meant to hop in.
As Chris hopped in the car he said a soft “Thank you” to which Jacob just smiled respectfully and closed the door.
