My Little Turtle - 6. Chapter 6

Chapter Six: A Second Chance

Opening my eyes, an intense white light burned all around me. Bringing my hand over my eyes; I tried to shield myself of the light. Suddenly the light started to fade and I saw myself running. I saw Chase sitting there, looking at me. I walked up to Chase and sat down next to him. We started talking.

 

Again everything changed. I saw Chase and myself at the restaurant, talking and having a great time. Looking at Chase, I could see the happiness in his eyes. We walked out and I saw myself kiss him.

 

There was a sudden flash, and again everything changed. This time Chase and I were lying in bed. Chase wrapped his hand around me and whispered that he loved me.

 

Suddenly I was in a hospital. I saw myself laying there, tubes attached to my arm and down my throat. The beeping of the heart monitor echoed in the otherwise quiet room, the green lines moving up and down as my heart beat. Chase was sitting next to me asleep. His hand clutched mine: even in his sleep he couldn’t let go of me.

 

“Beep Beeeeeeeeeeep Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep” Echoed the heart monitor, waking Chase of his slumber. Suddenly the empty room was flooded with doctors and nurses. A nurse grabbed Chase and told him to go to the corner.

 

“He is going into cardiac arrest.” Shouted a doctor, getting the defibrillator.

           

The doctor put the paddle on my chest causing my body to buckle upward as jolts of electricity went coursing through my body. Everyone looked quietly for any sign of life.

“BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP” blared the machine, showing no sign of a heartbeat.

 

Again I saw my body jolt as they tried again to retrieve me. No sign of life on the monitor. Looking over at the corner, I saw Chase slide down the wall, putting his head in his lap. He started sobbing uncontrollably. Watching him there helpless broke my heart. I walked over and kneeled down to hug him. My hands past right through him. “Please...Please don’t let him die.” I heard him sob. I tried to tell him it would be ok, but no sound came out.

 

“BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP”

 

“Still nothing. Doctor, I don’t think there is anything we can do.” A nurse.

 

At exactly 8:30 PM on Sunday, I was pronounced dead.

 

“He can’t be dead. No. Please. I love you.” Chase yelled, running to my side. The doctor tried to grab him, but he wouldn’t budge. “No he is not dead. No!” he yelled, clutching my hand. “Please, Ryan. I need you.” He fell on top of my dead body and started crying.

 

Everything went black. “I love you. Ryan, I need you.” echoed over and over again. Suddenly light flooded in. It was not the intense bright light from before, but a florescent light. My eyes started to adjust to the light and I recognized where I was. I was in the hospital; I heard the beeping of my heart monitor, the sobs of Chase.

 

As my vision returned completely I saw a doctor looking at me puzzled, “How can this be?” he asked.

 

I squeezed Chase’s hand and he looked up. Unable to believe it, he saw me looking at him, “Ryan!!” he yelled. Leaning down to kiss me, he whispered “I love you.” I looked him deep in his green eyes and told him I loved him too.

 

The doctor interrupted us, “I am sorry to interrupt this moment, but I am in shock that you are alive.”

 

“What happened?” I asked.

 

“Well, when you were stabbed, the knife punctured your right lung, filling it with blood. We were able to fix it, but you lost a lot of blood. You were out for two days, and suddenly your heart stopped. We tried to retrieve you but we couldn’t. Then suddenly your heart started again. It is nothing short of a miracle.”

 

“Oh wow” was all I could muster.

 

After checking a few things on me, the doctor left Chase and me alone to talk.

“I was so worried you were going to die.” Chase said on the verge of tears, as was I.

 

“Yeah. I was too. I don’t even remember what happened. I remember coming in to see Tyler there holding a knife and I rushed him.”

 

“You knocked him unconscious and when the police came to help they arrested him.”

 

“I am so glad, we are both ok. I love you Chasey.” I said holding his hand.

 

“As do I.” he said leaning in to kiss me. Breaking the kiss, he quickly ran to the door and shut it.”

 

There that’s better” he said with a wide grin on his face.

 

Walking back over to me, he leaned down and started kissing me again. I felt his tongue brush against my lips, so I parted them; allowing him to slip in my mouth. His warm tongue slid over mine, and soon they were wrestling in each other’s mouths.

 

Chase broke the kiss and bit my lower lip, “Look’s like somebody else wants to play.” He said moving his right hand down and placing it on my cock.

 

The sky blue hospital gown was not doing a very good job to hide my quickly growing erection. Chase gripped my cock over my gown and started to jerk it; making it even harder and more obvious.

 

Looking at Chase, I hissed, “Chase not here.” He just looked at me and gave me a seductive look, and stroked faster. Suddenly he stopped and I thought he was finished; but I was wrong. I felt his hand travel up my thigh inside the gown. Quickly he lifted the gown over onto my abs; revealing my naked lower region. Before I knew it his mouth was all over my cock. He sucked as fast as he could. The sensation he was giving me was amazing, but I was quickly aware of my surroundings and told him to stop. He just looked at me and told me he wanted to pleasure me and turned his attention back on my throbbing cock

 

Closing my eyes, I tried to control my moans as he sucked harder and faster. My cock slid in and out his wet warm mouth, driving me to sexual ecstasy. I felt my balls tighten, and the pressure traveling towards my cock. I bit my lower lip to keep from moaning as I erupted in Chase’s mouth. Swallowing as much as he can, a little dribbled down his chin. Once my orgasm had subsided and my cock was slowly softening, Chase covered my cock back up and leaned back up to kiss me.

 

Reaching up, I grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him closer to me. Our tongues explored every crevice of our mouths. We were so into our make out session that we did not hear the door open.

 

“Chase, I just came to—oh. I am sorry!” Kathy said, quickly clothing the door behind us. Chase turned bright red and I couldn’t help but smile. I gave him one last kiss and told him to get her. He quickly ran after her, returning a few moments later with her in tow. “Sorry to interrupt.” she said, “I just wanted to see how you were doing.”

 

“I am feeling better.” I said.

 

We talked for a bit, and then she excused herself to make dinner. Chase and I were talking when the doctor came in to tell me that I was free to go. After getting my things, Chase and I drove to the house Chase and his family was staying at.

 

Walking through the door I was greeted with cheers and applause. Chase’s brothers and sister, parents, and some other members of the family and friends I had not met, were all there to greet me. Alex and Amanda came up to give me a hug. Alex asked if I had a scar, which Kathy said was inappropriate to ask, but I told her it was ok and showed him. He thought it was pretty cool, and I had to laugh.

 

Chase introduced me to his family and friends. He was beaming whenever he told anyone that I was his boyfriend. Alexa, Dani, Chloe and all the girls from the sleepover were there. Chase introduced me to a beautiful young girl, named Lydia. She had long flowing dark brown hair and brown eyes. He introduced me, saying that she was his ex-girlfriend and that they had dated for a bit, but since they were best friends it did not work out too well. At first I thought it would be awkward meeting Chase’s ex but she seemed really nice. When Chase had to go help his mom with something, she got a serious look on her face, “So what are your intentions with Chaser?”

 

I smiled and told her that she had nothing to worry about and that I had all the best intentions in mind for Chase. I told her that I truly did love Chase and that I would never hurt him. She smiled and said that it was a good answer. We talked a little about how Chase and I met, and what had happened in the past month.

 

The party died down a few hours later and I was glad because I was still pretty weak from the whole ordeal. At about eight that night, most the people had left. Chase’s parents were in the kitchen talking to their family about Jacob’s wedding. Chase, Amanda, Alex, Aiden, Lydia, and I were all sitting in the living room talking, when Aiden looked at me and said, “Ryan, I am sorry for how I acted at dinner when I first met you. I thought it would be weird having a guy date my older brother, but you are really cool. I am sorry; you care about Chase so much. I think it’s awesome. You are really cool.”

 

“Thanks, Aiden. That means a lot.” I said. He came up to me to hug me and Lydia and Amanda awed.

 

“So I really approve of you.” Lydia said smiling. “Too bad you are gay.”

 

“Haha. All of us hot great guys are gay.” I said smiling.

 

“I know. All you hot guys just like it each other. I mean look at you and Chaser. You two are so hot, but you like each other. You are selfish you know. Sharing your hotness with each other and not the girl population.”

 

“I know. Just look at turtle. He is so hot.” I said leaning in to kiss him.

 

“Ok gross. I know I said I’m ok with this, but come on.” Aiden said laughing.

 

His laughter was contagious, and seeing Chase turn red with embarrassment wasn’t helping either. Soon we were all laughing. Chase was laughing nervously and Amanda was turning red, barely breathing. Chase’s parents came in and asked what was going on. We all just busted out laughing again, and they rolled their eyes muttering something about kids and went back into the kitchen.

 

An hour later, we all decided to go to bed since we all had a long day and another long day ahead of us. I got placed in one of the guest rooms across the hall of where Chase was staying. Lying down on the comfortable bed, I was glad to feel a real bed and not the hospital bed. I was just drifting to sleep when I heard a light tapping noise against the door. At first I thought it was just the old house making noise, but I heard it again, this time a little louder.

 

“Come in.” I called. I saw the door open and someone slip in. Under the faint moonlight, I caught a glimpse of Chase’s face as he approached. I felt the bed move as he slipped under the covers, “I couldn’t sleep.” He said. I wrapped my arm over him and pulled him into me, “Well I’m here now.” Leaning down, I placed my lips on his lips. It was not a sexual kiss, but a romantic one. A kiss that seemed to linger for all of eternity. I broke the kiss to look him deep in the eyes. I did not tell him anything but smiled and kissed him again.

 

Wrapping his arm around me, he pulled me in, slowly rolling on top of me. I felt his tongue brush against my lips, trying to seek an entrance into my mouth. Parting my lips, I allowed him to enter. I felt his tongue invade every crevice of my mouth. I slipped mine into his, both our tongues on each other. After making out for some time, I pushed him off me and got on top of him. I broke the kiss and licked my way down his body. Reaching one of his nipples, I slowly circled it with my tongue; leaving a line of spit as I licked over to his other nipple. I bit the other one lightly, and then started sucking on it. Chase started to moan and rest his head on the pillow.

 

After pleasuring his sensitive nipple for a bit, I kissed further to the side of his body. Slowly I traced my tongue from right under his armpit down to the waistband of his black boxer-briefs, and then worked my way back up. Chase threw his hands against the head board of the bed, trying to control his moans of ecstasy. As I continued to attack his side with my tongue, he pushed harder against the back board causing it to creak. I licked down his side then up, over his armpit and up to his arm. With my tongues, I traced over the curvatures of his biceps.

Slowly I made my way back over his chest and down towards his abs. As my tongue traced the ripples of Chase’s ripped abs, Chase let out a loud moan. Stopping for a bit, I gently sucked on his abs, feeling his muscles tighten as he bucked back in pleasure. Slowly I continued licking downward until, my tongue caressed over the waistband of his boxer-briefs.

 

Slowly I ran my tongue over his hardening cock through his boxer-briefs, hooking my thumbs over the sides of them. Pulling them off, his hard cock slapped against his abs, precum leaking. I grabbed it and kissed the tip of it then slowly took the whole thing in my mouth. Barely sucking, I ran my tongue over the underside of his shaft as his cock went in and out of my mouth. Grabbing the bed board, Chase let out soft moans. Knowing that I was pleasing him, I sucked harder and faster. Looking up at him, I saw a look of pure pleasure in those wondrous pools of green. Closing his eyes, he started to buck forward and I knew that he was close.

 

Sucking harder and faster, I brought him over the edge and started to shoot his load. The first shot hit the back of my throat with great force. Another volley hit my throat, quickly followed by another. Swallowing as fast as I could, I tried to swallow it all. Once Chase’s orgasm subsided, I slowly let his cock slide out of my mouth, licking the underside of it. I licked his cock clean.

 

Slowly I licked my way up his body to his neck. Reaching his lips, I kissed him hard and he quickly parted his lips and allowed my tongue to enter. He could taste the cum on my tongue as we made out. I broke the kiss, “Guess we are even now.” I kissed him again, this time more passionately. After a bit, I wrapped my arms around him and we both drifted to sleep.

 

A violent shaking woke me from my sleep. I looked over at Chase; he was sweating and thrashing the sheets violently. “No. Please don’t. No” he kept muttering over and over again. “Chase, walk up.” I said shaking him. I wrapped my arms around him, holding him tight. I pressed his head against my chest, stroking his hair. “Shh. Baby. Wake up.” I said, slightly shaking him. I kissed his forehead. Chase’s eyes shot open, “Ryan!” he screamed, wrapping his arms around my neck. “Please don’t leave me.” He said, sobbing into my shoulder.

           

“What’s wrong baby?” I said, holding him tight, tears forming in my eyes; scared out of my mind.

 

“You died. I dreamt of the night at the mall, and Tyler…he…he killed you. Please don’t leave me.” He said crying hysterically.

 

“Baby, I won’t ever leave you. I love you, and always will. I said holding him tighter. I told him over and over again that I loved him. We both sat there holding each other crying, until we were both too exhausted to cry anymore and fell asleep together.

 

The sun crept into the room the next morning, waking me. I opened my eyes, but was blinded by the intense light. Rolling over in hopes to get away from the light, I was greeted by the sight of Chase. The sun was shining on him, causing his hair to shimmer. Looking at him, I thought to myself that I really am lucky to have him in my life. He looked like a peaceful angel sleeping. Then it dawned on me again, that a few days ago I could have lost in all. I could have been dead. A tear rolled down my cheek, as those thoughts plagued my happiness.

 

Chase shift position in his sleep, lifting his hand resting it on top of my abs. I leaned in and kissed his cheek, “Wake up babe.” I whispered in is ear.

           

He slowly opened his eyes, and let out a yawn, “What time is it?”

 

“It’s ten o’clock.” I said, leaning in to kiss him again.

 

“We better get up, before we miss breakfast.” He said, slowly getting up and sitting on the edge of the bed. I followed suit and got up too. The both of us got dressed and walked downstairs.

 

Dave, Kathy, Brycen, Amanda, Aiden, and Alex were sitting in the kitchen table eating breakfast; they looked up when they saw us enter.

 

“Good morning honey. Morning Ryan.” Kathy said.

 

“Morning.” Chase and I said in unison as we sat down in two empty chairs.

 

“Care for some coffee, Ryan?” Kathy asked handing me a cup.

 

We had a nice yet interesting breakfast. Alex was using his fingers to eat the cereal. Amanda kept smiling at me and winking when no one was looking. Aiden kept asking me random questions about my relationship with Chase; and Brycen was unusually quiet. Chase seemed somewhat quiet too; like he was deep in thought. Once everyone was done eating, Kathy and Dave asked everyone to leave but Chase and I.

“Ryan. Chase. There is a matter we need to discuss. It’s about…about Tyler.”

 

Chase started to shake a little and I grabbed his hand and held it.

 

“We know this is still a sensitive subject, but there is a trial tomorrow. Both of you need to go to put him behind bars.”

 

“Yeah. I agree.” I said. The thought of seeing Tyler again freaked me out, and I started to tremble a little. Chase squeezed my hand.

 

Dave told us what would happen at the trial, and what the consequences for Tyler would be. Throughout the whole time, Chase was very quiet. When Dave was done talking about the trial, Chase and I returned upstairs. Chase returned to his room and I decided to take a shower.

 

The warm water felt good on my muscles, and it did relieve some stress and tension I was feeling. Closing my eyes, I let the warm water cascade down my body. Suddenly imagines of that night came back. The look of horror on Chase’s face. The look of hatred in Tyler’s eyes. I could see the knife and I got a sharp pain and looked down to see the scar that it left. Tears started rolling down my cheeks; I felt weak and had to sit down on the shower floor. The warm water washed away the tears.

 

After a few minutes I was able to regain posture and stood up. I finished washing my body and rinsed off. I dried off and got dressed. As I was heading back to my room, I walked past Chase’s room. The door was open a crack and I looked in and saw him on the bed, his back to me. I could hear muffled cries coming from him. I quietly walked in, “Turtle? You ok babe?” I slid on the bed next to him, “Babe?” I said again. I held him and kissed his neck.

 

“I could have lost you Ryan. And it’s all my fault.” He said sobbing.

 

“No it’s not.” I said holding him.

 

“Yes it is. Tyler was my ex. If it wasn’t for me you would never have a scar. You would never have almost died. I think I should just leave you alone after this.”

 

“No Chase. Don’t ever think that. If it wasn’t for you I would never feel the happiness I feel every moment I am with you.”

 

“Yeah. But--”

 

I stopped him in mid-sentence and kissed him on the lips. Breaking the kiss I said, “But nothing. I want to be with you. Do you feel that?” I kissed him again, with great passion.

 

“Feel what?” He asked, confused.

 

“The spark between us. The rush of energy every time we kiss.”

 

“Yes. But…I still got you hurt.”

 

“But nothing Chase. It’s you that I want. And always will.” I said again before leaning in to kiss him before he had a chance to say anything.

 

We were interrupted by a knock on the door. Breaking the kiss, we told whoever knocked to enter. Alex walked in, “Hey. I’m bored.” He said, getting on our bed, and jumping on it.

 

“Let's go watch a movie, sport.” I said. He jumped off the bed, and the three of us went downstairs in the living room. “What you want to watch?” Chase asked Alex.

 

“300” he answered, sitting on the couch. Chase put in the movie, then sat next to me. I put my arm around him and he rested his head on my shoulder. Aiden came in and joined us. After the movie finished, Brycen came down, “I am hungry.”

 

“Me too.” Said Alex.

 

“Let’s go to Subway.” Aiden suggested.

 

“No. I want to stay here.” Said Chase.

 

“I’ll stay too.” I said.

 

Aiden, Alex, Amanda, and Brycen all went out for lunch, but Chase and I stayed in. “So, what you want to eat?” I said, wrapping my hands around him.

 

“Well, I make a killer peanut butter and jelly sandwich.” Chase said beaming.

 

“Really? Ok. I will have one of those.” I said kissing him lightly on the lips. Chase leaned in and kissed me back. He broke it and walked into the kitchen, and started to make the sandwich. I sat on the couch trying to find something to watch, but nothing was on. Chase came back with two plates of sandwiches. He asked what I was watching and I said nothing was on.

 

“Hey, want to watch One Tree Hill?” he asked me.

 

“Sure. Put it in.” I said

 

Chase ran up to his room to get the DVD then came back down and put it in. He selected the first episode of the first season and sat down next to me. He leaned over and rested his head on my chest. ‘Wow, this is a really good sandwich.” I said.

 

“Thanks.” He said, and then started laughing.

 

“What? What is so funny?” I asked.

 

“You have some peanut butter on your lips.”

 

“Where?” I asked lifting my hand to my mouth.

 

Chase took my hand and held it as he leaned in. He kissed me on the cheek, licking off the peanut butter. “There he said.”

 

“Thanks.” I said smiling.

 

“Anytime peanut.”

 

“Peanut?”

 

“Yeah. My new nickname for you.”

 

“Peanut. That works.” I said leaning in to kiss him. He leaned back almost lying on the couch. I got on top of him and started to kiss him deeper, sliding my tongue in his mouth.

 

“Wow. We leave for like ten minutes and this is what happens.” Someone said from behind the couch. We quickly broke the kiss and sat up, looking at Amanda, Aiden, Alex and Brycen staring back at us. Brycen rolled his eyes and muttered something under his breath.

 

“God, you two should be so glad you can’t get pregnant.” Aiden said laughing. We all broke out in laughter. “What are you two watching anyway?” he asked.

 

“One Tree Hill. Care to join?” Chase answered.

 

“Sure” they all said joining us on the couch. We all got so into the show, yelling at the TV. Before we know it we had finished six episodes.

 

“Wow. I can’t believe we spend almost six hours watching this.” Amanda said looking at the clock.”

 

“I know. But it’s so good.” Aiden said.

 

“Ah. Dan is such an asshole.” Alex said.

 

“And Nathan too.” I chimed in.

 

“I know. But he is so hot.” Amanda said.

 

We were discussing what had happened on the show, when Kathy and Dave came in.

 

“Hey guys.” Dave said.

 

“Hi.” We all said in unison.

 

“Listen, we have reservations in an hour with Lydia and her family.” Kathy said. “So you should all get dressed and take showers.”

 

We all got up and went upstairs. Amanda and Aiden decided to take the first showers in the two bathrooms.

 

“Hey to save time, why don’t we take a shower together?” Chase suggested.

 

“What? Are you crazy? Your parents will know!”

 

“So what? I don’t know, after I met you I am just more spontaneous.”

 

“Yeah. But still.”

 

Chase pushed me against the door of his room and started to kiss me, “Come on.” He slipped his tongue in my mouth, pushing me harder against the wall. Slipping his hand in my shirt, he rested it on my chest; gently stroking it with his fingers.

 

“Oh what the hell.” I said.

 

Once Amanda came out of the shower, Chase and I darted into the bathroom, making sure no one would see us. Chase turned on the shower and both of us quickly started to strip our clothes. He stepped in the shower and I followed. Leaning in, I kissed his shoulders. Slowly I worked my way up to his neck. He let out a small moan, as I wrapped my hands around his waist. I gently bit his neck as I slid one hand up his chest. With the other, I reached down and grabbed his cock. As soon as my hand wrapped around it, I felt it harden. Slowly I started to stroke it. “Too bad we don’t have a lot of time.” I said letting go of his cock.

 

He turned around with a disappointed look on his face, “What? You can’t do that.”

 

“Sorry babe. We need to get ready.” I said, grabbing the soap. “Turn over.”

 

I started to soap up his back, letting my hands slide over his back. I went down to his ass and started to soap up his ass. Gently I massaged his ass. After a few minutes, he turned over and kissed me then grabbed the soap and asked me to turn over. He slowly slid his hands down my back, soaping me up. Once he was finished lathering my back and ass, he leaned in and kissed me.

I turned over and pressed my lips against his. Soon both of our tongues were in each other’s mouths, discovering every part. He slid his hand up and down the side of my body. Moving closer towards me, he pushed his hard cock against mine. I wrapped my arms around him.

 

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, “You two need to be ready in fifteen minutes.” Amanda said.

 

We both laughed and quickly rinsed off and got out of the shower. With towels around our waists, we ran back into our rooms. Once we were dressed we went downstairs. Amanda gave us a dirty look and laughed. We all sat and talked while Dave and Kathy were getting ready.

******************************************************************************

 

We were met by Lydia and her family at the restaurant. Lydia ran up to give me a hug. Chase introduced me to Lydia’s parents. Once the introductions were done, the hostess showed us to our seat. Lydia’s mom asked Chase how he and I met. Chase told her all about it and what had happened at the mall. As the conversations progressed Chase and Lydia’s parents slowly became intoxicated.

 

“You know son.” Dave said looking at Chase “You really have the family jewels. Aiden over here has a small penis, maybe that’s why he doesn’t have a girlfriend.”

 

Chase choked on his water, “What?” he said turning red.

 

“Aww Aiden, poor baby.” Lydia said.

 

“So what about you Ryan? You got the family jewels too?” Dave said looking at me.

 

“Well, I never got any complaints.” I said looking at Chase. “Right babe?”

 

Chase kept getting redder and redder.

 

“Ohhh. Really? Tell us Chase.” Lydia cooed.

 

“Umm. Yeah, I can’t complain.” He said looking down.

 

Everyone busted out laughing. Chase kept looking down, turning redder by the second. After we had all finished eating, we continued to talk, laugh and have a good time. At the end of dinner, Lydia’s parents said that they really liked me.

 

One the way home, I noticed Chase was being kind of quiet. Not giving it much thought, I figured he was just tired. However when we got upstairs, he asked me to sleep in his room again. He said that he was afraid of getting another nightmare. I told him he could and the two of us got ready for bed. We both stripped down into our underwear and slipped into bed. We were both really tired and quickly fell asleep, with his hands wrapped around my side, head resting on my chest.

 

In the middle of the night, I was awoken again by Chase’s violent convulsions in his sleep. Over and over again he was mutter that he didn’t want to lose me. I tried to wake him but he just kept shaking harder. He was sweating a lot and breathing heavily. “Chase wake up.” I shouted.

Finally he opened his eyes. He told me he had the same dream he did last time. Holding him tight, I told him that I would never leave him. I held him tight for a few hours before we both drifted back to sleep.

 

We woke the next morning, to the alarm clock buzzing. Groggily I looked over at the clock and saw that it was seven in the morning. I looked down at Chase, who was trying to go back to sleep. I kissed him on the forehead and shook him away, “Baby, it’s a big day today. Get up.”

“I love you, Ryan.” He said groggily.

 

“I love you too.”

 

The two of us got up and got ready. We went downstairs and joined Kathy and Dave at the table. One by one Chase’s siblings came down to join us. It was one of the quietest breakfasts I ever ate. Nobody felt like talking. We all knew that what happened at ten o’clock would influence all our lives. Kathy, Dave, Chase and I left for the courthouse at nine.

 

We arrived at nine-thirty and walked in. At exactly ten the trial began. Chase and I were asked to give a testimony of what happened and then Tyler gave his account. The judge ruled in our favor and Tyler was charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.

 

Once Chase and I arrive home, we were greeted with all his siblings sitting on the couch waiting for us.

 

“What happened?” Amanda said, rushing to us once we walked through the door.

 

“Yeah. Did the fucker go to jail? Sorry, Mom.” Aiden said.

 

“Haha. Yeah he got 25 years.” Chase said.

 

“Yay that is so great.” Alex said.

 

We all talked for a bit about the trial, then Amanda suggested we all watch One Tree Hill to get our mind off of what happened earlier. Before we knew it, it was dinner time.

 

At dinner, Kathy and Dave told us that we would be leaving the day after tomorrow. After dinner, we watched more One Tree Hill. Three episodes in we all started to get tired and go to bed. Chase and I went to our rooms at fell asleep right away.

 

The next day we spend the whole day doing last minute errands and met with Jacob one last time to go over the wedding plans. I was able to email my professors, who all understood what had happened and gave me all their lectures via email. Thankfully I did not miss too much because finals were next week. Chase’s dad talked to the principal of the high school and they gave him a week extension to take his finals.

************************************************************************

 

I was glad to be home. I needed to sleep in my own bed. As the week progressed, I barely saw Chase as he was busy trying to catch up on the work he missed at school. Friday morning I got a text from him telling me he wanted to come over after school.

 

I was taking a nap when I heard the doorbell ring. Getting up, I went to answer it to see my boyfriend standing there.

 

“Hi Baby.” I said.

 

“Hi.” He said leaning forward to kiss me. As he kissed me, I could taste his chapstick.

 

“Watermelon chapstick? That’s kind of hot. It turns me on.” I said.

 

“What? Watermelon turns you on?”

 

“Yeah. It’s weird I know.

 

“I guess I will have to wear it more often.”

 

“Haha, you are such a dork.”

 

Laughing, Chase and I went into my living room and sat on the couch. Reaching into his backpack, Chase pulled out One Tree Hill and I put it in. When we were finished with the episode, he turned to me and asked, “So you know I know nothing about you. Like your ex boyfriends.”

 

“Well I had sex with five guys.” I started. “Four of them were exs and one was a one night stand. It was stupid.”

 

“Oh. Why did you break up? Did they mean anything to you?”

 

“Well, they really did not mean a lot to me. I mean at the time they were awesome but I wasn’t like in love. Well, sorta. I fell in love with Peter. Peter was the first guy that I ever fell slept with. He and I dated for 3 years. Then one day he came over and told me that he wanted to end it. He wanted to have children and a family and the only way he could do that is be straight. He said that I would only stay in his way. So he ended it. Our relationship. Our friendship. Basically those three years meant nothing. He was ashamed of who he was and who I was. Two days after we broke up, he moved away. I haven’t spoken to him since. You know for the longest time, I was really depressed. I tried to figure out what I did to push him away. I loved him. I wanted to be with him. For a while I couldn’t date. I was scared I would fall in love again and they would leave me too. It took time to heal my heart and make the pain go away.” I said, wiping a tear from my cheek.

 

“I am sorry Ryan.” Chase said hugging me.

 

“It’s ok. I miss him, but life goes on. It’s been two years since I talked to him, I really haven’t thought about it for a while. Like I said, life goes on. And besides. I have you now.”

 

“I am glad, I have you too.” He said, leaning in to kiss me.

 

We continued to watch One Tree Hill and talked about things. I asked him to go on a date with me tomorrow, which of course he said yes. We finished the first season at midnight, then he said he better get home.

 

The next day Chase came over at five for our date. We arrived at the Town District an hour later. The Town district is like an outdoor shopping mall with restaurants and a movie theatre and arcade. We walked hand in hand to an Italian restaurant. We talked in and I told the hostess that I had reservations for two. She seated us at a table in the corner.

 

It was a quaint little restaurant; the inside was decorated like Italy. There were old looking columns, paintings of canals and gondolas on the walls, and Italian music playing faintly in the background.

 

“This is a really nice restaurant.” Chase said looking around.

 

“I am glad you like it.” I said. “So listen I have something for you.” I reached in my pocket and pulled out a little blue box. Sliding it across the table to Chase, I told him to open it. He opened it and took out the key.

 

“What? What is this?” He looked at me confused.

 

“It’s the key to the house. Look after what happened in Louisiana with Tyler I realized just how much you mean to me. I want you to move in with me. I want to wake up to you every morning.”

 

“I…I don’t know what to say.”

 

“Yes would be a good start.”

 

“Yes. Of course yes.”

           

We were interrupted by our waiter asking us what we would like to order. After we ordered, we continued to talk about him moving in. He called his parents and told him that he would spend the night at my house. In the morning he would go talk to them about my proposal. We had a nice conversation and we decided that after dinner we would go see a movie.

 

After dinner, Chase and I walked hand in hand to the movie theatre. We decided to see The Strangers. We sat in the middle next to a married couple and their teenage son. The movie started off slow, but soon got scary. Chase and I jumped at a lot of parts and during one part Chase grabbed my hand and held it tight. I leaned in and kissed him and told him not to worry. He just gave me an “I hate you. You’re making fun of me” look.

After the movie, the two of us decided to walk around a little bit. We enjoyed the warm California air with the nice cooling breeze. We stopped at an ice cream parlor and Chase and I got ice cream. Chase was so happy he got ice cream. He kept laughing and giggling for no reason.

 

“You are a dork you know that.” I told him, laughing with him.

 

“Shut up. No I am not.” He whined.

 

After finishing our ice cream, we headed back to the parking lot. When we got to my car, Chase grabbed me and thanked me for a great night, “I am so lucky to be with you.” He said, kissing me. We got in the car and drove home.

 

Getting to my apartment, I opened the door and let Chase in first. As he walked in, I couldn’t help but notice that he was probably the sexiest thing to ever walk the earth. Just standing there he gave a whole new meaning to the word sexy. He was, indeed, twisted steel and sex appeal and I couldn’t resist him. I was so happy to have him.

 

He turned around, looked at me, and smiled, “What are you looking at me like that for? What’d I do this time?”

 

I leaned against the doorway and laughed, “You’re a huge dork.”

 

As Chase started explaining himself, I walked toward him, “OK you have got to stop calling me a dork. I didn’t even do anything dorky. I mean I was just standing ---”

 

At midsentence I touched my lips to his and started kissing him hungrily, shoving him up against the wall behind him. I grabbed his hips pulling his lower body against mine and leaning in, kissing him hard and deep. He moaned in my mouth showing he liked what was going on. In between kissing his lips softly, I took off his shirt throwing it on the floor next to us. Chase moved his hands from my face to my back, running his hands up and down the smooth skin of my back under my shirt. I pulled back and took my shirt off while we stood there just looking at each other. He bit his lip as I licked mine and I took another step toward him, pressing up against him. I licked the side of his neck as he ran his hands over my body then I attacked his chest. My mouth went over his chest finding his nipples and gently sucking and biting them. My hand drifted over to his crotch, cupping his slowly hardening dick in my hands. I started pulling off his pants and boxers as my tongue and lips made their way down his chest and abs. He leaned his head back against the wall and groaned as he moved his hips closer to me. By the time my mouth got to his cock, I had pulled his pants down to his knees. I let them drop to the floor as I took his cock into my mouth. He ran his fingers through my hair and moaned again as I began to suck the length of his cock. His breathing quickened and his hips moved at a slow steady motion, so slow it couldn’t be called face fucking. I could tell he was in complete ecstasy as he threw his head back, gripping my hair in his hands as he came into my mouth.

 

When I stood up after sucking him clean, he had this huge goofy smile on his face that made me laugh. Chase walked over to me placing his hands on my hips like I did earlier and gave me the most passionate kiss of my life. I thought to myself, “He’s an amazing kisser and no one can beat him.” We started making out, intertwining our tongues and exploring each other’s mouths. Then Chase broke the kiss to lick down the middle of my chest and kissing my abs. I wanted to make this last longer so I pulled his face back up to mine and kissed him slowly walking him back to the bed. As we were walking to the bedroom, we continued kissing, our hands running all over the other’s body. When we reached the bedroom, he pushed me onto the bed, immediately falling on top of me. Still kissing, he continued to crawl up my body as we got to the top of the bed. I started fooling with the band of my pants, pulling my pants and boxers off of my hips. Kissing my neck, he pulled them the rest of the way off and threw them off the side of the bed. I pulled Chase down close beside me, running my fingertips along the length of his body. Circling his chest and running them up his thighs, barely brushing his cock. We looked into each other’s eyes as I ran the tips of my fingers across his lower belly. He let out a sigh and shuttered from the brushing of my fingertips over his skin then we kissed deeply, running our tongues over each others.

 

He slowly moved his body on top of mine while we kissed. His thighs were on top of mine, every part of our bodies touching. Being this close was sensual and the movement of our bodies together made me want it even more. I pulled him further up my body so he was straddling me right above my hardening cock. With the way he was sitting, my cock was grazing the small of his back. He felt my cock hit his back and he slowly began moving so it was running along his lower back, making me shudder. He was shaking with desire too as he kept stroking my cock with his back. I slowly moved my hands up his abs and over his chest as I let out a moan, anxious to be inside of him. I put my hand on the back of his neck and pulled him down to my mouth, kissing him lightly.

 

He kissed my cheek and nibbled my ear then whispered, “Wanna fuck now.” He said this, and then pulled back with that same goofy grin on his face. It’s that smile that made me smile so I nodded my head and pulled him back down once again, sliding my tongue into his mouth. Chase continued straddling me with his calves under his thighs and his weight on his knees. He reached back and grabbed a hold of my shaft, slowly backing himself onto it. He had no problem sliding me into his ass and I glided the whole thing in. He started moving his hips back and forth with his hands on my chest. We both moaned in unison as he stroked in and out above me, changing up the pace constantly. He was thrusting my cock into him deep as he kept up the rhythm, moaning.

 

I pulled him down and kissed him, looking him in the eyes as I rolled him over so he was on his stomach. I got on top of him, my thighs straddling his and my nipples touching his shoulder blades. My arms were stretched out on top of his and our fingers entwined. I slowly pumped in and out of his ass feeling the softness of his back against my chest and stomach. As my strokes got deeper and faster he backed his ass to meet mine, moaning with each thrust. Chase’s dick was stroking along the surface of the bed as I continued to pound into him. I felt the tension in my balls and knew I was close to cumming so I pulled my cock out so that the head was sitting in the opening of his ass. I found his prostrate and grinded my hard cock back and forth against it. By this point, I knew he was close to cumming too because his moans were getting louder. I felt him tense as he shot his load onto his chest and onto the bed. I grounded his pelvis into the bed as I thrust deep into his ass which sent me to the edge. I came inside of him and we just laid there on top of each other as I felt him breathe in and out. I kissed his back and rolled over, putting my arm around his waist and pulling him against me. I whispered that I loved him in his ear as we laid there. It was just in time to hear him say I love you too before we both fell asleep.

 

I woke up the next morning at the crack of dawn. I looked down to see my angel still sleeping. I got out of bed as quiet and careful as possible, trying not to wake Chase. I went downstairs and started to make breakfast. I had just finished making breakfast, when Chase came downstairs wearing only his boxer briefs.

 

“Morning sweetheart.” He said kissing me.

 

“Morning, boo boo.” I said wrapping my arms around his waist and pulling him into me; pressing his chest into mine. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

 

“One second baby.” I said walking to the door. I opened it to see a brown haired, hazel eyed guy standing on the walkway, “Peter?” I said confused.
