I don’t want to go to this party, I don’t want to go, I really do not want to go to this party. I want nothing to do with this damn party yet here I am, getting ready for it just so I can be with Jaxon. Ain’t that a damn shame?

He asked if he could ride with me there and obviously I said yes, I was not about to let someone else come get him and they take advantage of him or something. I refuse to let anything bad happen to him if I can prevent it.

“Okay so I know that you like the guy and all but has anything happened between you guys that I should know about?” I didn’t tell him about what happened between Jaxon and I and I wasn’t really sure if I was wanting to tell him about it or not.

Shepley wouldn’t say anything but sometimes he speaks before he thinks and it gets him in trouble all the time and this is something that I don’t want to happen if we are around my parents or something.

I trust him though and I feel like I shouldn’t really hold anything back from him.

“I mean we are just playing it safe for the time being.” I wasn’t going to say much just so I wouldn’t give it all away, I was sort of hoping that he would accept that and not ask anymore questions about my situation.

“Okay great. What does that mean exactly?” Of course he just had to ask more questions.

“Look man, you seriously can not say anything to anyone and I mean that.” He looked at me like I just said the most offensive thing ever to him.

“Damn you are just going to insult me like that Elliot? I thought we were better than that.”

“We are kind of taking this slow right now. We aren’t rushing anything and we definitely are not going to tell anyone about this because I am not trying to get him in trouble.”

“Did you kiss him?” Seriously? Does he really have to ask me something like that? Why would that even matter?

“What? What does it matter if I did or didn’t?” I was being a little defensive and I could tell that is what he was picking up on.

“Dude it’s cool, as long as you’re happy more power to you.” He said with a smile on his face. Well yeah I am happy, I have no reason to not to be right now. I mean things are pretty much going my way right now which is kind of great.

“Jaxon asked he could go with us and he also asked me if we could go get his friend so we gotta be going so we can get out of there as soon as we can.” The way I looked at it was the sooner we got there the faster we could leave.

I wouldn’t mind leaving there early so Jaxon and I could hang out just a little longer alone. The only time him and I are actually going to get to be alone is when I go over his house to ‘watch’ him and even then we have to be on guard because we never know when his parents would pop in.

The last thing I need is for him to get in trouble all over again because we weren’t too careful.

“Is his a friend?” I just looked at him, was he being serious right now?

“I don’t think so Shep so don’t get your hopes up.”

“What’s so wrong with me wanting this person to be a female?” I grabbed my keys off of my dresser and then once again just looked at him. Does he always have to think like this?

“Regardless if Jaxons friend was female or male, you could not sleep with them. I forbid it.” He looked so hurt at my words but I didn’t care.

“You’re not my dad Elliot.” Did he seriously just say that to me? Out of all of the remarks he could say that is the best one that he had?

“God you’re such a child. Come on let’s go.” We walked out of my room and began to head downstairs so we could get out of this house.

I told my parents bye and let them know that I was going to hang out with some friends. I didn’t necessarily tell them that I was going to a party because I didn’t need them to worry.

It wasn’t like I was going to drink or anything because I am the driver and I also have to make sure that no one fucks with Jaxon. I am going to be like his very own personal body guard and if anyone by the name of Miles tries to talk to him I am going to interfere with that shit.

When we were walking to my car Jax was walking over to us, he had a smile on his face and his cheeks were already a light shade of red. He is too damn adorable let me tell you.

“What’s up Jaxon?!” Shepley said to him before walking over to him and doing some kind of hug thing. Poor Jaxon looked so lost and Shepley wasn’t even sure of what he was doing.

“Okay please let him go Shep, you are embarrassing everyone.”

“Don’t hate me because you can’t be like me Elliot. Everyone knows that I am the shit.” He didn’t word that right, what he meant was that he was just shit.

“Just get in the damn car before I leave your ass here.” Jaxon laughed at my friend and I before walking up to me.

“Before we pick up my friend I just want to be honest with you. I may have told him about us but don’t worry because he won’t say anything.” Well since we are going to open to each other I guess I better tell him about Shepley.

“Well in that case Jax, I may have told Shepley as well.”

“Oh no, is he gonna pick on us now?” I just love how he thinks that Shepley is out to get someone when he really isn’t. I laughed at him and shook my head.

“You have nothing to worry about. You can trust him okay? Now get that ass in my car.” His cheeks were turning a brighter red as he got in my car.

He sat in the back while Shepley sat up front with me, every chance that I got I would take a peek at Jax. He always looked so innocent and I loved it because behind closed doors he becomes a totally different person and it’s just for me.

I hope.

“Is your friend cute Jaxon?” Is he kidding me right now? Like is he seriously being for real?

“Well I mean, I don’t think so but you might think he is cute.” Shepleys face just turned upside down. He legit thought that Jaxon was going to be bringing a whole entire female with us.

“She’s a guy?” He said softly, I don’t know if it was to himself or to the rest of us but it was funny none of the less.

“I’m sorry, he was at one point my only friend so sorry to let you down Shepley.” This was actually quite funny to me, I am so glad that his feelings got hurt. He is always thinking that he can just grab up any bodies friends and I am just like dude.

I have no room to talk even though I am not as bad as him about all of that.

“Are we almost to his house?” I asked as I was turning down a street.

“Yeah, so just keep heading straight and when you hit that stop sign continue to go straight and his house is the first one on the right.” Seems simple enough.

I followed Jaxons directions and finally reached this guys house. He was waiting on the porch thankfully so as soon as I pulled up he walked up to the car and got inside.

“Thank you for picking me up.” Well it seems he has some kind of manners which is good.

“It is no problem man. I am Elliot but the way.” I said as I turned around to look at him. “This grouch up front with me is Shepley.”

“Hello.” He mumbled, he was so upset about this person being a guy that it was never not funny. 

“I’m Cassius.” What a unique name that is.

“Alright let’s get out of here.” I started heading for Miles’ house while Cassius and Jaxon were in the back talking among themselves. 

The closer we got to this party the more I just wanted to turn around and completely forget about it, we could all just go somewhere else and do something that is a lot more fun than this. 

Shepley probably wouldn’t like that idea because he is clearly wanting some female attention right now. 

I am just wanting some attention from Jaxon. I know that he is probably not wanting to leave his friend or anything so I just have to see how this plays out. 

Right about now I was craving Jaxons lips against mine and regardless of what happens tonight, I am going to get him alone even if it is just for a minute.
