"Wit, come back here, you're in trouble," Jerry laughs, chasing after me and Mo with water guns, like little kids having fun.
It was the first time I had hung out in a while. I was having so much fun too, it was good to take a break from normality sometimes.
Bash was with his parents for Tom-Tom's birthday. I told him I didn't want to impose; I've never meant his parents and I didn't want them to get the wrong idea between Bash and me.
"Your dead meat dude," Mo yelled, throwing water balloon bombs. By now we're all soaked and soggy.
"I can't believe you.Wit, You're all manly now," Jerry geeked trying to sneak by us, nearly three hours of fun and water fighting.
"Can't help it, I'm happy,"
"Awe Witty happy cause he's got a boyfriend," Mo teased. I knew that was coming sooner or later, I wasn't going to fight it any longer, I've come to grips with reality, I'm gay and that's that.
Jumping to the sound of my phone ringing.
"Wait, Wait," I held up my hand signaling a time out.
'Bash what's up,' I said while trying to catch my breath. 'Nothing much, why are you panting?'
'Oh, water fight with Jerry and Mo,'
'So I called to let you know I'm not coming back until next week okay,' I felt a little hurt, but I completely understood it was nearly winter break and everyone was going home for the holidays. For once in a lifetime the weather wasn't Bi-polar 'Okay, just text me when you plan on coming back,'
'Yup bye baby,' he said, then hung up the phone, my mood changed, I was looking forward to him coming today, but I guessed not. Yes! I was a bit upset but he couldn't help but be with his son.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing Bash isn't coming back until next week,"
"Oh, Do you want us to stay with you for the vacation?" Mo said, laying his arm across my shoulders, Jerry just stood there staring and waiting for my answer. I didn't want to take their holiday away from them because I didn't have a family to spend it with.
I didn't want them to feel obligated to keep me company.
"No, No seriously go home guys, I'll be fine, I promise," waving my arms kris crossed style.
"Wit, it's their anniversary as well, you can't be alone," Jerry hung his head as he spoke, knowing I didn't like talking about my parent's deaths.
"It's been ten years, I'm fine," I've become numb to the fact that my parents died on their wedding anniversary coming home from a project in England.
"How about hanging with Tommy, he never goes home," shaking my head no as I walked into Jerry's apartment.
We spent most of the evening eating ourselves silly and watching movies including Knock Up, Mo joked around rubbing my belly saying I was pregnant and Bash needed to pay child support Jerry secretly took a picture and sent it to Bash, he immediately called me I couldn't help but laugh it was so funny.
"What did I miss?" he laughed.
"Nothing these jerks are teasing me again,"
"I bet, have fun baby." He laughed while hanging up, it was nice to talk to him before we went to bed, "Whooo, Baby Wit" Jerry teased.
Waking up to the sunlight blinding me, no idea why the hell I always sleep next to the damn window, currently laying Jerry's bed with him and Mo.
It's a good thing they didn't get all weird about being this close to me knowing my 'Gayness' as Mo puts it.
They actually could pass as a couple with the way they were laying Jerry was on his back, Mo literally laying on top of him with his hips between Jerry's legs.
Kinky, sneaky a picture before waking them up.
"MO YOU COPPING A FEEL THERE?" watching them scramble away from each other, giggling, even more, seeing Mo blush at Jerry. Just as we finished making breakfast, Tee came over.
"Wit," her smile lit up the room like always.
"Hey, Tee" looking up from the table I had wiped clean.
"What are you doing here?"
"Just hanging out, what's up,"
"Nothing just thought you would be with Bash..." my eyes shot up to her again,
"No, he's home with Tom-Tom and his family I didn't want to impose,"
I rushed before she got the wrong idea, the truth was I don't think Bash will ever tell his parents about us.
It's both a good thing and a bad thing, I never wanted a relationship that I needed to hide, but I also didn't want to draw any unwanted attention to myself or my partner.
"Tee baby," Jerry rushed to her side, kissing her cheek. Their laughter filled the room, Mo stood in the doorway. He had a smile on his face, but he seemed to have something on his mind.
"Let's talk,"
"Sure," he hung over my shoulder as we walked around the garden leaving Jerry and Tee alone.
Mo didn't need to tell me anything I already knew by the change in his face.
"You like someone more than a one-night stand," his shocked expression definitely gave it away,
"That obvious uh," he tucked his hands into his pocket kicking a rock.
"Who is it?" I wasn't trying to be nosy, I just wanted to help him a bit in this situation.
"I don't want you to get mad at me, or hate me," his words instantly turned me curious, I turned looking him in the eyes.
"I will never hate you Mo, you're my best friend and brother at that, what's wrong with you lately?"
"I don't know how it happened, I just woke up to him," I tried to hide the shocked expression on my face, but I honestly didn't see that coming. He huffed sitting on the bench running his finger through his hair nervously.
"Man I have no idea what to do, I tried calling him and even stopping by his house, but the shit I said to him I regretted so bad."
"Ok, so tell me exactly what happened," I wish I would have held my tongue, but he let loose and told me everything.
