5. WITHOUT YOU
I fished out my mobile and scrolled through the contacts until I found the one person who would be able to sort my head out… My nearest and dearest cousin, Madison.
“Well, hello gorgeous.” Came his almost immediate response to his phone ringing.
“I need you. I need coffee and I need chocolate.” I blurted out desperately.
“Mm-hmm.” I could see him in my mind’s eye nodding and stroking his chin thoughtfully, “Do you also need a big fluffy pillow, a foot massage and a box set of Ugly Betty?”
“Yes.” I wailed down the phone.
He chuckled, “Come on over, I’ll put the kettle on.”
I knocked on his door and he immediately answered, gathering me in and fussing over me, “Oh, babe.” He said, “You look so stressed out – what’s the matter?”
I allowed him to usher me through to the kitchen and I pulled out one of the chairs at the large kitchen table which dominated the room, “Oh, God.” I put my head in my hands and groaned.
Madison came hurrying back across the room, armed with two hot chocolates – with extra marshmallows on mine to give me a boost – and sat down opposite me, “You’re freaking me out now, babe,” he said, “What is it?”
I shook my head and looked up at him, “I may have a crush – on someone I have no business having a crush on.”
His eyes almost popped out of his head, “A girl?” he asked incredulously.
I nearly spat my chocolate across the table, “No!” I spluttered, “Don’t be ridiculous!”
He grinned, “Well, who then?”
“Lachlan O’Shea.” I breathed, “He’s gorgeous."
Without You is number five in the Boys Next Door series, with the usual helping of adorable guys, a little drama and just enough naughty bits to keep you turning the pages…
6. LOOKING FOR TROUBLE
I blamed my parents.
What sort of a name was Angel for a guy anyway?
They’d set my future in stone with that decision.
And no. I wasn’t gay… I just liked guys, that’s all. I liked the way they looked. I liked their bodies… It didn’t make me gay.
“You coming, Angel?”
I looked up. Harry, Justin and Brad were stood looking at me with perfectly matching frowns on their faces. I shook myself and nodded. Shit. I really had to stop zoning out every time we came to watch the ice hockey. “Sure, sure.” I said as I gathered my belonging and followed them out to the foyer.
Harry grinned at me, “Lusting after the captain again, huh?” he asked quietly.
I snorted rudely, “Sod off,” I hissed at him, “I told you I found him attractive in confidence.”
He nodded, “I know you did – I haven’t told either of those two – chill out.”
I sighed, “I’m not gay.” I said. I was beginning to sound like a broken record…
“Sure, sure.” He nodded, “I never said you were, mate – but you might want to consider the possibility that you’re bi-sexual if it’s less abhorrent to you, but you know, we are in 2016. It’s no great surprise to people anymore when guys come out – sooner or later no one will have to come out. It’ll just be normal – because it is normal, Angel. Anyone who says otherwise is just ignorant.”
I nodded. I did know that – and I was sure I wasn’t homophobic… not really…. “Yeah, maybe.” I acknowledged. “But I really do love Kayleigh…”
Kayleigh was my girlfriend and I did, I really loved her. We’d been best friends since we met in school when we were twelve. We’d decided to give being a couple a go at the end of school when we went to prom together and ended up kissing. It was great kissing her and feeling her up. She was all soft and lovely and it felt safe and nice… Yeah. I know, don’t roll your eyes at me, I do realise that’s not really enough…
Harry scratched his neck and looked at me with a slight frown. “Have you guys, you know… done it, yet?”
What sort of a question was that? I raised an eyebrow, “And that’s your business because?” I asked.
Harry blushed, “God, sorry – yeah – you’re right, it really is none of my business…”
I sighed. I knew he was only concerned about me. He was a great friend really. “No.” I said quietly, “We haven’t. We uh, we want to wait until it feels right.”
Harry nodded, his face grave, “Let me give you a tip.” He said, “If you were really into her like that – it would already feel right. Your problem is that you’ve chosen the wrong team, mate – you’re into guys – whether you like it or not.”
Oh, shit. Why did Harry always have to voice my worst fears…?
7. BEST BOYFRIEND EVER
Taylor and I had been friends for a long time – growing up next door to each and all – but we ruined it all by making the mistake of having a drunken ‘moment’ when we were at the 6th form prom after party – followed by me virtually running away and then almost immediately starting to date Daniel Morton. It was all my fault, I can’t deny it – I shouldn’t have kissed Taylor – and I really shouldn’t have run away from him when he asked me what I was doing – and of course I shouldn’t have ever dated Daniel…
I told myself at the time that Taylor would be okay and he wouldn’t care – but I was so wrong – he took it all really badly and we hadn’t really spoken since.
My dilemma now though, was that my grandma – who loves Taylor to pieces and was delighted beyond all reason when, in a moment of utter madness, I told her we were a couple – still thinks we’re together and now that she’s had a fall and become incapable of living alone – I can’t lie to her about him anymore – because she’s coming to live with us…
I could have been honest – hell, I should have been honest about the whole thing but call me stupid – many do – I lied. I backed myself into a corner and now I had to go crawling to Taylor to ask him this massive
