THAT'S LIFE

Chapter 2

Well Friday was definently an interesting day to say the least. Not only did I get joked on by ALL my friends but even the teachers did it. I mean come on just because I like a guy doesn't mean they have to bust my chops about it, wait this is me were talking about of course they do hehe.

Daniel was SO cool and SO HOT I couldn't help but stare at him every chance I got. Some of my friends knew and I knew they could tell I really wanted to be with him. He was so big and strong I mean I just HAD to have him but deep down I was told NO he is straight and off limits. It actually got to a point were I was shaking and I had to ask the teacher if I could go to the bathroom, she just looked at me with a concerned look then nodded yes, when she did that I jumped up and headed to the bathroom. I got there just in time, I threw open one of the stall doors and lost my breakfast, I couldn't believe it this boy who I had only meet yesterday had me feeling this way. I want to be with him SO bad but it seems like I couldn't be. The next think I knew someone was standing over me.

"Hey Britain you ok?" asked Jamie one of my friends. I just nodded then threw up again, Jamie helped me sit up then stand. Leaning against him I made it to the sink and washed my face I looked in the mirror and wanted to cry, but I didn't. I think I was falling in love and I couldn't handle it. "Hey it is because of Daniel?" I just looked at him and nodded, then a single tear escaped my eyes. "Man I am sorry if we would have known our teasing was going to do this we wouldn't have done it." I just shook my head.

"It isn't y'all it's me, I think I am falling in love." I said with this wide eye expression on my face. Jamie just looked at me smiled and hugged me. He helped me get myself back together then we headed back to the class room. When I walked in I walked with my head down and I didn't meet anyone's gaze, I know the teacher was looking at me and I heard Jamie whispering to her. He probably told her what I said, hey Mrs. German was a cool lady and she understood. I stayed with my head down and followed in the book, but I could tell there were still some kids looking at me wondering what was wrong. As soon as the bell rang I grabbed my stuff and bolted for the door, I headed for the lunch room where I found a small table away from everyone. Anyone and everyone who knew me knew if I was sitting here I didn't want to be bothered so no one came near me. I looked up in time to see Daniel coming toward my table when my friends stopped him and made him sit with them.

"Hey if Britain is ever at that table then NO one and I mean NO one goes over there, not even the teachers." said Bobby.

"But why?" asked Daniel.

"Because that means he wants to be by himself, and when he does no one bothers him, besides all you will be doing is talking to your self and half way through he will get up and leave, just like he is now." they all turned saw me gather my stuff and head out the door. No one tried to stop me and no one would they knew better then that. I was SO upset. I wanted to be with this boy and I didn't think I could.

The rest of the day was ok and I still didn't talk to anyone. On the bus I stayed by myself and I didn't even say hey to my mom when I came home. On Fridays she is always home early and that is cool, just not on days when I want to be alone. I went up to my room sat down at my computer and started it up. I got in the Internet and started chatting telling a few of my friends about what happened. Some of there were sorry I had to go through that but understood that after something like that you don't want to be around anyone. I didn't notice the time I spent on the computer chatting until I heard the from door bell ring. I looked up at the clock and it read 6 pm. WOW I was on it for more then 3 hours, cool.

I heard people talking and figured it was the Blackmores, I decided to stay in my room until they called for dinner, well that is what I thought I was going to do, there came a knock on my bedroom door.

"Come in." I said in a mono tone. My mom came in with Daniel behind her.

"Son Daniel is here is it ok if he comes in?"she asked, she knew I was upset but knew not to ask, I got my attitude from here so what can I say, thats life.

"Yeah" was all I said, mom came over and hugged me and whispered.

"What ever it is it will be alright." with that she left us alone closing the door behind her. I didn't turn around but I knew that he sat down when I heard the bed springs, squeak just a little.

"Umm...hi Brit" he said sounding kinda down.

"Hi" was all I could think of, I was social or what. We kinda sat there in silence for a few minutes.

"Umm can I ask a question?" he asked.

"You just did but go ahead." I still didn't turn around especially when he giggled.

"Ummmm...did I do...I mean did I say...I mean did I do something to make you mad?" I couldn't believe my ears, here this BEAUTIFUL boy was asking if I made him mad. I didn't know what to say I mean I was falling in love and I couldn't do anything about it.

"No Daniel you didn't do anything." I still didn't turn around. I was hoping he would be satisfied with that answer.

"Oh good, I don't think I would like it if you were." he said quietly. I couldn't believe what I just head, I mean he wouldn't like it, I mean I understand that but it was the way he said it.

"What do you mean?" I asked. He kinda blushed, (I could tell because I turned around now pay attention)

"Well you see....you are so cool.....and...nice and....cute, I mean friendly" I don't think he thought I heard it but I did. I just stared at him, with my mouth open. He looked at me and at first I think he thought I was mad because he got this hurt look on his face, but then I smiled at him, he smiled back and blushed lowering his head. I got up and went over to him. I made him look at me, made him look in my eyes, I gasped I saw the same thing I hope and pray he saw in mine, LOVE. He smiled and nodded. I bent down still looking into his eyes, and as I got closer I closed my eyes, I don't know if he did, but then again I didn't care right at that minute. I felt his lips brush mine and I stopped breathing. WOW he tasted SO GOOD. I leaned back and looked at him, he had his eyes shut and a smile on his lips. When he opened them he saw me smiling back at him, I moved his hands from his lap then sat down in his lap facing him. I quickly put his arms around my waist to hold me up so I wouldn't fall on the floor. I just stared into those green eyes, and I leaned in and slowly kissed him. We stayed like that and I don't think either of us heard the door open, I thought I heard a gasp then nothing. We slowly un locked out lips and looked at each other.

"I love you Daniel, I feel in love with you when I first saw you." I said smiling at him. He smiled and gave me a gentle peck on the lips.

"And I love you Britain, I feel in love with you when I first saw you as well." now I KNOW I heard a gasp. We quickly turned and faced the door standing there was Shirley, Daniel's mom. Daniel was frozen and I couldn't move either because he held on so tight. They just looked at each other.

"Son I am SO sorry, I wish I would have known, I mean...did we your father and I cause this?" she asked coming to sit next to him. He took his arms from around me and I stood up, he reached his arms out and hugged his mom, he shook and cried.

"No mom yall didn't this is how I am and I am sorry." I was getting upset I didn't want him to cry.

"Son it is alright and we aren't going to throw you out or anything but are you sure I mean REALLY sure?" she asked. Daniel looked at me and smiled, I smiled back and blushed lowered my head. The next thing I knew Daniel was in front of me, he lifted my head and looked down into my eyes, we were both standing so don't forget he is taller by about 3 inches. He smiled at me and put his arms around my waist and I in turn put mine around his neck.

"Yes mom I am sure, and you know what I don't care who knows, I love him." he said to her while looking at me, I lowered my head because I didn't want him to see the tears, now as I said before I don't cry much but there are something's that get to me and this is one of them. He lifted my head and leaned down and kissed me. It HAD to happen I mean DAMN come on not two in a row you guessed it another gasp but this time it was not from his mom and we know it wasn't from my parents so that only left his dad. We turned toward him and he had a look of astonishment on his face. Daniel just stared at his father not sure what to say but he wasn't letting me go.

"Dad this is Britain my boyfriend. Well that is if he wants to be my boyfriend." he said looking at me with eagerness. I just smiled nodded my head and hugged him.

"Well son I honestly don't know what to say, I am assuming your mom just found out." he said looking at his wife, she smiled nodded and took her husbands hand, he smiled back. "Well if you are sure, then I guess there is nothing to say, but congratulations, you are sure though right?" he asked his son and Daniel just smiled at him and hugged me. The hugged the both of us and said welcome to the family, they asked if my parent knew about me and I let them know they did and are ok with me being gay.

They told Daniel that they were cool with him being gay but give them some time to get used to it but that it was still ok for us to be us. We all went down stairs for dinner a few minutes later. At dinner we told my parents what happened. They seemed happy that Daniel and I were happy and with each other. We all talked and laughed over dinner. Afterwards Daniel and I excused our self and headed to the living room. To watch some tv. Daniel lad down and scooted as far in the couch as he could go I just looked at him and he smiled and patted the side next to him. I paid down and there were we, with my head on his arms and both of his arms wrapped around me, and both of my hands holding his.

I don't know how long we laid there but the next thing I knew I awoke to a quite house. I looked at the clock on the wall and it read 12:30 am. WOW we must have fallen asleep, there was a blanket over us and we were still cuddled together. I just thought about it for a minute then decided that we should head up to my room. I have a big queen size bed. We got up kissed then headed upstairs, we went into my room and with out thinking about it we stripped to our underwear and climbed in bed. We pulled the covers over us and cuddled up together. Daniel on his back and me next to him with my head on his chest and my arms wrapped around him and both of his arms wrapped around me. We fell into a peaceful sleep
