This Is What They Call Love - 3. Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Pure bliss was the only way to describe the feeling Cory was experiencing as he woke up from the wonderful memories of the weekend. “Well, someone was having quite the dream, must have been a really good weekend.” Cory shook off the sleep from his eyes as he realized that he was in bed with Caleb grinding his leaking hard member against his friend’s backside. “I’m sorry Caleb I didn’t realize what I was doing.” Caleb waved his friend off as he got out of bed.

Waking up with Caleb in his bed was not an unusual occurrence, more often than not Caleb would find his was into his bed sometime in the middle of the night if he was not entertaining a guest. Cory grabbed a pair of shorts before making his way out into the living room. “So, tell me about your weekend with the mystery man,” Caleb said while making himself a cup of tea.

“He is an amazing. We spent most of the first night at the bar just talking, and after you decided to take his friend home he offered to let me sleep over at his place to avoid your latest porn flick." Caleb simply shrugged and waited for his friend to continue. “Nothing happened this weekend other than some kissing and cuddling, but we are scheduled to go to dinner this evening.” Caleb smiled at his friend. It had been a long time since he had seen him this enthusiastic about someone. “Well, this sounds like the perfect excuse for a wardrobe update so let’s get a move on.

Triston let a sigh of relief as he closed his laptop screen, he typically didn’t mind working extra over the weekends as he usually didn’t do much aside from the times that Brian dragged him out, not since things ended with Henry. This time however he was anxious for his dinner date with Cory. He couldn’t believe how easy things flowed between the two of them and just how natural it all seemed. Triston absent mindedly reached for his growing member as his mind flowed with thoughts of the young man. He huffed in frustration knowing he didn’t have the time right now and hoping he wouldn’t be doing this alone soon enough.

Triston felt the butterflies in his stomach flutter as he pulled up to Cory’s apartment. The young man was fidgeting with his clothes as his friend slapped his hand away, Triston couldn’t help but let out a small laugh. “Would you stop that, I already told you that you look great,” Caleb chastised him as Cory continued to mess about with his new clothes. Triston’s eyes were locked on him the entire time as he made his way up the walkway. They just stood admiring one another, before embracing each other in a tight hug before parting with a soft kiss. “You two are just so precious. I can’t wait until I meet my knight in shining armor,” Caleb gushed causing Cory to let out a loud laugh knowing friend was definitely not the relationship type.

“We should get going our reservation is within the hour,” Triston said as he began to lead Cory a way a hand on the small of his back. “It was nice to see you again Caleb,” Triston called over his shoulder. Caleb smiled happy for his friend as he watched the pair drive off.

The restaurant, one of Triston’s favorites, a secret little Argentinean place that he had stumbled upon while entertaining clients was a short drive away. It was a simple gesture but it made his heart flutter as Cory placed his hand a top of his while it rested on the gearshift. The young man simply looked over at him and smiled before his eyes returned to taking in his surroundings. He often times seemed so lost in thought and Triston couldn't help but wonder what was going on in his mind. Finally parking the car, Triston already missed the feel of Cory’s hand on his and as they walked towards the restaurant he couldn’t stop himself from taking a hold of Cory’s hand offer the young man the same kind of smile he received only moments ago.

“This is one of my favorite places in town. I’ve never ordered anything I didn’t enjoy.” Triston felt the need to mention suddenly feeling very self-conscious about the date.

Cory noticed the shift in the man’s demeanor and quickly took charge pulling his faster toward the door. “I’m sure everything will be perfect.” He grabbed Triston’s face between his hands bringing their lips together feeling the rush of warmth flow through him that he has waited for so long. “Now, let’s get in there I’m starving.”

Dinner was everything Cory imagined and more, the smells of the authentic food wafted through the building. When their plates arrived it was heaven on earth from the first bite to the last. Triston watched how much he enjoyed the meal and it brought him joy to know that Cory appreciated something so trivial in his eye. When the bill came both men reached for the bill before Cory won the short lived tug of war.

“You’ve done some much for me thus far, let me have the pleasure of treating you.”

The gesture spoke volumes to Triston making this an already great night simply the best.

“How about we go for a short walk to work off all that food? I feel like I’ve devoured a farm.” Cory grabbed his stomach for dramatic effect.

“I would like nothing better,” Triston responded as he reached for Cory’s hand letting him lead the way.

The restaurant was situated not far from a walking trail that led parallel a canal with the soothing sounds of the water as it ebbed and flowed with the tide. Stopping to peer out over the water, Cory gazed at the man in the reflection on the moonlight before pulling him close, this time meeting in a much more passionate kiss.

“To the start of something wonderful and many more adventures to come,” Cory whispered before pulling Triston down for another kiss full of passion.
