17-A night at the fair
Nick's pov
After the whole fiasco of yesterday, I'm slightly surprised Ezra invites me to his house, not only that. Ezra and Luke both get in my car. Is this going to be a recurrence from then on?
The gang still talked crap about Luke and Ezra as they noticed Ezra with Luke. I guess they suspect Luke is Ezra's boyfriend. Jokes on them I'm Ezra's boyfriend!
Regardless, it still makes me in a sour mood when I see that Luke gets to hang out with Ezra when he wants to but I can't. Gosh, secret dating sucks.
The good news is that the gang didn't try to teach any of them a lesson as I make sure they don't without sounding suspicious.
Even if they think I broke up with Taylor, having Taylor is a good thing. I get to use her to say she doesn't like it when the gang does such a thing. Nice is it? An alibi. She can be my alibi for anything and the guys would believe me.
Dominic still has a hard time believing me but he hasn't uttered a word about it. As long as it remains like that, that's what matters.
Even if I can't wait to see Ezra and kiss all over him, I have to head to the game.
——————-
We lost. How unfortunate. Usually, I would be pissed off as the rightful captain but I'm actually glad that it did happen. It means more time with Ezra.
The guys remained quite quiet while they took their showers but I heard curses here and there. I took my shower after them and now I head to my locker.
I wait for Ezra and Luke as I make sure the other leaves. I wait a bit after a few minutes they finally leave and I finally notice Ezra alongside Luke.
Ezra tries to hold me by the waist and almost kisses me but I block him from doing so.
"Not here."
"Such a buzzkill." He says disappointed and Luke gives him a smile of sympathy.
"I'm surprised you haven't gotten used to it."
"This is a daily recurrence?" Luke asks slight concern in his tone.
"Yeah, can't risk my rep."
"I guess I understand after seeing you play the game."
Yeah, I forgot to mention that Ezra was in the game with Luke.
"Nice and we better go now right?"
"Yeah.."
I check around to make sure the coast is clear and sure enough it is. That's thanks to the fact it was a basketball game and not the end of classes.
We head out and get in my car. Ezra hops in the passenger seat and Luke in the back. I start up the car and we leave the school's parking lot.
After a 10 minutes drive we get to Ezra's house. We get in and immediately get in. As soon as we go Ezra grabs ahold of my waist and kisses me hard. Yeah, he missed me as much as I did.
"Um, don't forget about me you lovebirds," Ezra smirks at that.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that. I won't forget about you."
"Ok"
"Anyhow, my moms aren't here. They are busy working."
"Yeah, I was wondering where they were yesterday," I mention.
"Let's get in my room."
I look at Luke to check if he really is going to come with us and judging by his look, he totally is. Ugh, I wanted some time with Ezra just with him! I don't have to mention why.
We get up to Ezra's bedroom and get in. Luke sits on the desk chair, to leave Ezra and me some space on the bed.
"You were good in the game," Luke says.
"Oh, thanks for telling me that but we lost."
"Oh...um, I know that but still...Ezra, you have such an athletic boyfriend!"
Luke at first chuckles nervously but then becomes amazed by myself I guess.
"Yeah, I picked him right," Ezra smirks and I just push him a bit into the bed.
"You two look great together."
"You think so?"
"Yeah," Luke admits.
"Well, that's good."
"Sense you two are bonding so much. I should leave to get you two to bond some more huh?"
"No don't!" I whine and he smirks maliciously.
"I wasn't being serious but now you only give me ideas."
"Yeah, leave then, if you really want to!" I dare.
"Sure, I'll explore the loo then!" I chuckle at that last bit.
"I bet you don't even need to wee!" Luke surprisingly yells out.
"Maybe not maybe yes! Now bond!" He leaves the room and closes the door.
"Um.." Now it's awkward.
"Awkward isn't it?"
"Yeah.." He says shyly.
"You don't need to be shy with me. I'm all arms."
"I know but..it's still so peculiar.."
"I guess so."
"Um, actually you two look great together but I can't help but be worried."
"Why so?"
"Um...I know you don't like hearing this but Ezra tells me about your issues." That pisses me off right there but I try to keep calm.
"You're 100% right about that."
"It's just I'm worried you're not treating Ezra right.."
"What do you mean by right?"
"Um..don't go bonkers on me but you tend to get extremely jealous and control Ezra. Innit right?"
My blood starts boiling at the mention that Ezra dared to mention that. Now I seem like I am the bad guy.
"Look our relationship is still fairly new and I won't deny the fact we have our issues but you can stop being worried about it."
"Um, why then must I ask?"
"Stop worrying that I'm not treating Ezra right. As far as I know Ezra and I work well together."
"Ah..um, I guess you're right on that. You both have your issues. I hope it'll work out for you two." He smiles softly.
"Me too"
"Hey, funny question. Are you gay by any chance?"
"Oh, no! I get that comment often but I'm actually straight." He smiles awkwardly. Well, that's a relief I guess.
"Times up!" We both jump out in surprise when Ezra opens the door violently.
"Were you spying on us?!" I ask furious at the thought of that.
"No, why would I?"
"Ok, so it was just a coincidence then?!" I say furious.
"Bloody hell! Stop going bananas over this and calm down geez!" Ezra yells out and Luke flinches at that.
"Yeah, I'll stop," I say sulking.
"Good"
We continue chitchatting together without any more problems.
———————
Ever since that other day, it seems like Luke is somewhat my friend as he hangs around us every day of the week. He even blocked Ezra and me from getting naughty. The nerve!
Anyways that's not important, this Friday night will be special today. Every year the entire school goes to a fair at night. It's like an event.
The good part is that it's fun, the not-so-fun part is that I have to be with the gang. I don't want that! I would very much prefer hanging out with Ezra and even Luke!
Honestly, I don't know why the schools do that but I think it's cool. A night at the fair is not the same as in the movies but still equally as cool. Through, I actually forgot about thie event
Anyhow, Ezra is actually going tonight. He usually has work shifts on Fridays and Saturdays. He called off work just for tonight geez and I won't get to be with him...
Right now I should focus on winning my game. The party for tonight is at the fair so...I guess that's cool.
——————-
We lost our game but then again I couldn't care less because tonight is still happening.
We just arrived at the fair and I'm with the gang because I have to stick with them. There's a beautiful sun that is setting down. It really is beautiful and on a Friday night too.
"Finally we get to be at the fair. Why don't we ever come to the fair?" Leo asks.
"I don't know man. Don't ask me." Dom says in return.
Yeah, I actually don't know why we never come here. Most people would say it's expensive but you know...we have the money so we can't complain.
"We should totally come here a lot this summer!" Livia says loudly.
She's already thinking about this summer? Damn, I haven't thought about that just yet...
"Yeah totally!"
"Let's go on this ride!" Aaron says.
Oh, sh*t that's one hell of a rollercoaster. Does Aaron really want to ride that?
"Then, let's go."
I notice that Myung seemed not overly in for the idea but he still goes to the ride. While Taylor is uncomfortable with the idea.
"Wait, let's stay here."
"Why...?"
"I won't get in that ride."
"Why? Don't you like that ride?"
"Nah, it's too much. Besides, you don't really want to go too do you?"
"Yeah..no.."
"Nick! Taylor! What are you waiting for? Come!" Leo yells.
"Nah we'll skip this one."
"You guys are boring." Then, he leaves with the gang on the monster of a ride.
"Now, I guess we can do something else."
"Why did you do that for me?"
"Eh I don't really want to go with them besides, I don't want you to be all alone."
"You don't need to worry about me.."
"Nah, don't stress it. Let's go on another ride while we wait for them to get off."
"Ok..."
We go on a much softer ride and we enjoy it. While we were in it, I noticed Ezra and Luke from afar and couldn't help but want to be with them.
That's when I had the great idea to ditch the gang and go with Ezra and Luke. They won't notice us, right?
Sure Taylor is still with me but..it's an opportunity for her to finally officially meet Ezra and then his friend too. How come I've never done that before? How dumb of me.
"Taylor?"
"Yeah?"
"What do you think about ditching the gang for real?"
"What? We can't do that! They'll be mad at us!"
"Who cares about them? Besides, I have a better idea."
"Huh? What idea?"
"You know Ezra?"
"Yes, what about him?"
"I was thinking of joining him."
"Oh..." Knowing what she's thinking about I clear up the misunderstanding.
"You'll come with me of course!"
"Huh?"
"You didn't hear me? I said you're coming with me! It's an opportunity for you to finally get to know him!"
"Oh..."
"What?"
"It's just...is this really ok?" She says hesitantly.
"It's fine! If you're worried about ditching the gang you won't be in trouble!"
"Really?"
"Yeah!"
"You don't think Ezra will mind me being there?"
"Of course not! He won't mind! Besides, he's with his friend Luke!"
"Ok.." Despite the fact she agrees, she still seems uncomfortable with the idea.
"Let's go before the others see us."
We walk around together till we finally find Ezra and Luke waiting in line for a ride.
While we walk in their direction, I notice Allyson with her boyfriend, the goddamn Jonathan together. I would've expected them to be all lovey-dovey together but it looks like they are having a serious conversation, like a real serious conversation.
I don't get that. It's Friday and we are at the fair why are they being all serious? That's not even like Allyson to do that. Oh well, it's not like it's my business anyways.
We walk some more and get in line with Ezra and Luke.
"Ezra!"
He turns around surprised to see me there. Then, he notices Taylor by my side and his surprised smile drops. Oh no...
"I didn't want to be with the gang and found a way to ditch those guys. I brought Taylor with me."
"Hi... I'm Taylor, Taylor Cassidy." She says shyly.
Ezra looks skeptically at Taylor. Ugh, I don't want him to think that and why is she saying her full name? We all know her? Oh, she doesn't know Luke. Makes all sense now.
"Hi...I'm Luke." Thank goodness Luke said something. I was afraid we would remain in an awkward silence.
"Yeah, hi too. You already know me so.." Argh is Ezra being serious right now?
"Yeah..." Taylor says awkwardly. Oh gosh, this is so awkward!
"How about we all get along?" I say to break the awkwardness.
"Sure..." Even if he says that Ezra doesn't look an ounce certain about his decision.
"Ok..."
We finally are the first one in the line and we get in right after. Thank goodness for that. Things are awkward...
It's a ride where we can sit four. Two per side. That's perfect! I sit next to Ezra and Taylor sits next to Luke.
Immediately, I sense Ezra's hand on mine, knowing damn well the others can see. I shake off his hand, probably due to the fear of being seen. He glares slightly.
"Um..is everything alright here?" Luke asks.
"Yes." The ride starts moving.
I look back at Ezra and he looks back at me not really enjoying himself. He didn't want me here huh? Or is it Taylor's presence?
"So, Taylor here wanted to get to know you more Ezra. I think you two could get along."
I say half glaring at Ezra but smiling too to not scare the other two. Ezra looks back at me unamused of my very obvious tactics to get him and Taylor to get along.
"Yes..."
"Why are you still with the gang?"
Oh gosh is Ezra being serious right now?
He's not asking those types of questions? He dares say that harshly too! Even Luke is shocked by this.
"Oh uh...I don't know...My friends..."
I make a sign at Taylor to answer correctly because I know Ezra won't let this slide if she doesn't finish her sentence.
"At first, they forced me into the gang because of Nick but now I'm genuinely friends with Nick."
"Don't you have little friends of your own?"
"Yes but...they still think I like Nick so...They pressure me to be with him."
"Do you still like Nick?"
We all get cut off guard, shock taking us all except Ezra staring coldly at Taylor.
Oh gosh, I take it back this was the worse idea ever to bring Taylor here.
"No...I don't. I used to but I'm over him now." She says awkwardly. Congratulations Ezra for ruining tonight!
"Hm, good enough." I glare at Ezra to make him understand the mess he's making.
"You two look great together.." Taylor says.
"Really? How much do you support gay people?"
"I have no problem with them."
"Hm.." I whisper in Ezra's ear.
"Stop asking those types of questions! You're scaring her off. I want you two to get along. Stop thinking she's a threat."
"I can't be 100% sure."
"Ezra!"
To try to at least make him reconsider, I hold his hand. That seems to make him in a better mood. Luke and Taylor both notice. Luke seems relieved that I finally did that and Taylor doesn't say anything in response. Then, the ride eventually comes to an end.
"That was a fun ride."
"Yeah.." I say knowing damn well it was anything but.
I realize that tonight we won't have any more progress. I decide to make the safe choice and separate each other.
"Guys!"
"Yeah?"
"I was thinking about splitting up. I'll go with Ezra and you two can hang together." They both look at each other shyly and embarrassed.
"Ok.." I don't need Ezra's approval because he already pushes me to go follow him.
We leave Luke and Taylor. Therefore, I follow Ezra. Ezra guides us to the...Ferris wheel. Seriously the Ferris wheel? I thought he didn't like anything like that.
"I want to ride this with you."
"Sure..."
By some sort of miracle, there was basically no line and we get in. I guess it is getting quite late after all. We sit next to each other since he chose to.
"Seriously Ezra why were you so mean to Taylor earlier?"
"I don't want to hear about it anymore tonight ok?"
"Fine."
We go up and of course, stop on top. Then, Ezra comes closer. He tries to kiss me and I immediately panic.
"Ezra! People can see us!"
"Nah don't worry not a lot of people can see us from up here." He is kinda right through...
Then, he crashes his lips on mine and I enjoy every part of it greatly. I can tell he was desperate for that kiss. I guess a kiss won't hurt.
"Now...for tonight, how about you redeem yourself by making me forget about tonight?" Is it what I'm thinking this is about?
"Why me?"
"Come on put a sock on it and kiss me. I very much fancy the aspect of having a taste of you tonight."
A taste of Ezra tonight? Even if I feel disappointed and hurt about the actions he did tonight, he knows very well I can't say no to that.
"Fine...Then, I can't wait for a piece of you."
Things didn't go as planned but at least I get an interesting ending. I'll think about what happened tonight tomorrow, I guess because tonight I'm having fun.
