Desire Unleashed

Chapter Two

Today I was gonna meet with George. He and I have been best-friends for almost ten years now. I remember first day I've met him. 

It was first day of school and I was just moved to city, so I was new at school. My hair was a mess that day because I had to run to school. I thought that I would be late, but I got there on time. The schools hallway was so crowded and noisy. All teenage kids was pushing others, giggling and talking so loud. Well I was minding my own business, trying to find my class, when some boy crashed into me. And of course everybody start laughing and pointing at us. Hell yeah, first day here and I'm a laugh stock already. 

He jumped up and started to pick up my stuff while apologizing. He helped me up.

''Hey sorry about that.'' he said while rubbing his nape and trying avoided my gaze. I just smiled and said that it was okay. We exchanged names. 

''You're new here right? Never saw you before.'' he said.

''Yeah, first day.''

''Suck, huh?'' George said

''Yeah, well, you helped with that.'' I said laughing.

''I already apologized.'' he moaned. Almost all of ours classes were the same. I didn't have a locker yet, so he asked if I wanted to share his. I agreed. He was pretty popular. Between the classes kids would gather around his locker and chit chatted.

When we finally had lunch time I asked him. ''Do you have a comb with you?'' cause I have forgotten my own at home and finger combing didn't help my messy hair.

''Yeah of course I do?'' he said immediately. I smiled, when we were at his locker, then he handed me a comb. We were silent for a moment then I dropped the bomb.

''So does everyone know that you're gay?'' I asked still combing my hair, but keeping my voice low. I was trying to be nonchalant. I knew he was gay and I was okay with it. I just wanted to know that was he out from the closet.

''WHAAAAT? I'm not gay, girl.'' he snorted. ''If you want I can prove to you, babe.'' he said with husky voice. Then I snorted, when he put his hands on my waist and pulled me against him. His hands trembled. 

''So you have a girls comb in your locker and I noticed a pocket mirror under your comb too. AND I saw how you looked at Mr. Johnson, our math teacher.'' I said, then continued. ''Look, I'm not judging and if nobody knows, they would not hear from me. I promise it.'' he just watched me. Then he sighed, running his both hands through his hair. Then just nodded.

''Nobody knows, so please don't tell anybody.'' he whispered. ''How did you know anyway? For two years nobody could guess and you haven't even been here for a full day.'' he continued. I just shrugged and told him that he had a kind of aura that's all.

From that day forward we were best friends, but even now George hasn't come out from the closet. I always tell him that it's okay, but he wouldn't listen. He is too scared to world to know. Now he is big model of course, so he wouldn't tell anyone.

Oh we did kiss few times and he stole my first kiss. He kissed me front of all school and everybody was cheering, some George-fangirls were glaring at me. Just to prove his friends that I was his girlfriend. So all the school years I was his girlfriend and somehow it didn't bother me. And when he had kissed me first time I didn't even blush, but he on the other hand was so uncomfortable that he grimmest and told me that he definitely wasn't bisexual.I never cared about boyfriend stuff, so I was okay with it. I just shrug at the memories. 

I was waiting for George to come, so we could go somewhere to drink. 

''Hey, Char.'' I heard George yell from behind me. I ran to him and hugged him tightly.

''Missed you stupid.'' I told him. 

''I'm very missebly, I know.'' he said while kissing me on my cheeks.''Come on, let's get some drinks and tell about what I missed.''

We took a cab to a pub. While drank we talked about his travels. He told me he was seeing someone. I was happy for him. He didn't date much. I remember his worst lover. George was 18 at the time and his lover few years older. After six months we learned he was married and had a child with the woman. It was an ugly breakup. Georges lover put the blame on me, just because we were best friends and we were sleeping together. Which were bullshit. About right after that he found the modeling job and his life got busy.

After that he didn't date much. He was always careful.

''So who is he?'' I asked. He smiled so warmly, I guessed he was already falling for this guy.

''Well, his name is Liam. He was at the gym where we were photoshooting. Later I learned he was the owner. So we started to talking, went to dinner and some drinking. We kissed few times, went to dozen or so dates.'' he shrugged, but I knew it was a big deal to him. ''It only has been a week, but he is really sweet.''

I told him about this Mason guy. He asked me if came to coffee shop again, but I told him I had two days off from work. I told him what he looked like.

''He sound hot.'' George said.

''Oh believe me he is. And the muscles on that guy. Damn.'' I fanned myself.

''So, do you have work tomorrow?'' he asked. We were waiting for a cab, so we could go home.

''Yeah. Come, it will be a little slow after 1pm.'' I said. I know he liked almost everybody at coffee shop.

''Hmm. Maybe I will.'' he said smirking. I shrugged. Got on a cab and went home.

***

Next day I was at work and Melanie was teaching me how use spaceship aka. coffee machine and I gotta say even if I'm slow, I am getting better at it. Melanie kept smirking, so I finally asked ''What?''.

''Oh, nothing. We just have new regular here.''

''Hmm...'' I said, trying to calculate the situation. 

Doorbell rang, I turned around to see George.

''O...M...G... it's George Stone. Please autograph my bra.'' Melanie jokes, making me laugh. It's really funny that mother of two acting this way. George walked like he is on catwalk. Making me laugh harder. Melanie rushed to him and  hugged him. It was surprise for me that GEorge had known Melanie for a few years already, because he was regular at the coffee house.

He took his coffee and went to sit near the counter. Another customer came inside. Melanie nudged me to look up. It was Mason. He smiled when he saw me. His smile made my heart stutter. I don't normally do this, but his smile made me nervous. Making me feel weird, in a good way. Melanie went to sit with George, possibly to gossip about this.

''Hi.'' he said while he rubbed his neck, looking nervous. Where was the grumpiness? 

''Hello.''

''I just wanted to say I am sorry about the other day.'' he said.

''Oh, it's fine. Everyone has a rough day. I didn't take personally.'' I smiled at him.

''I'm Mason.'' he said. I wanted to tell him that I already knew his name from the note. But he would probably feel like an i***t, so I kept my mouth shut.

''Charlotte...'' I said, feeling shy. ''Charlotte 

''I wanted to ask.. uhh...ask you... ummm..'' he looked really shy and nervous.

''Wow you are really good at this.'' I said before I could stop myself. Me and my big f*****g mouth. He went really red. It was kind of sweet to see a guy to blush.

''I want to ask you to dinner. You know...uhhh... as an apology and knowing you better.'' he said while smiling a warm smile. Still blushing a little bit.

''Are you asking me out?'' I asked and feeling stupid after. What was happening to me. 

''Well, yeah I guess I am.'' he said, laughing a little.

''Sure.'' I said, feeling giddy. Butterflies in my belly.

''Is today good? After your work.'' he asked. I looked over to Melanie and George. Melanie had her thumbs up, but George had his eyebrows furrowed. I was taken aback a little. Normally George liked my dates. Well mostly. 

''Okay here is my number.'' I told. 

We exchanged our number. He told me that he would pick me up from here, but I said that I wanted to change my outfit and I would meet him at the restaurant. He agreed and left.

Melanie came over. ''Damn, he is hot. Take him to your bed at least once.'' she said. She fluttered her eyelashes.

''Melanie!'' I gasped. I wasn't prude, but I still didn't wanted to customers to hear her. George stayed at the table, so I went to him.

''What is it?'' I asked.

''Well, I don't know. He was giving mixed vibes.'' he said.

''Mixed vibes?''

''Yeah, well. When he first came in I would have sworn that he is gay.'' he shrugged. ''But when he saw you I knew it was genuinely had like a crush on you.'' he said. ''Maybe I'm wrong.'' he ran his hand through his hair. ''So where is he taking you.''

I told the restaurants name. It was nice one. I asked George if he could help me with my outfit. SO after work he came with me so he would help me.
