Evan was watching his show on TV; he wasnât concentrating on bridezillaâs show. He kept staring at Andrewâs bedroom door. The man has been in there all morning, after he came home from his meeting with David, he got home to eat with Drew and his father. But Andrew was acting odd towards Evan during the meal. Evan wondered why, after Drew asked him about his meeting with David, Andrew had excuse himself and went to bed.
Evan had told Drew how he had turned David down and walked away from the man, Drew was proud of him, and to be honest Evan was proud of himself as well. He felt like a big heavy piece of shit had been lifted off his shoulders and now he could walk lightly. He was still depressed with being single but heâll get a boyfriend soon. Well he hoped so.
He heard a noise and turns to see Andrew coming out of his room, he seemed tired and sad, and Evan frowns at that, could it be that Andrew was just now realizing that he was getting a divorced? Did it just hit him that his wife slept with his so called best friend?
ââAndrew, are you ok?ââ He questions quietly and Andrew tenses slightly but still tries to fake a smile.
ââYeah, Evan Iâm fine Iâm just coming down with something.ââ He murmurs avoiding eye contact with Evan.
Lies, lies, and more lies Evan thought.
ââHow about I make you some soup, maybe youâre getting the flu.ââ Evan offers, even though he knew the older man was lying but he wasnât going to call him on that.
ââNo, Itâs ok Evan, Iâll be fine but thanks for the offer.ââ Andrew smiles and Evan so how there was pain shown on the older manâs face.
ââYou know, its ok to be sad for what happened to you, thereâs nothing to be embarrassed about that.ââ Evan points out with a soft caring voice.
ââIâm ok about the divorce Evan, Iâm just going through some things, well more like confuse.ââ Andrew replies rubbing his face up and down with his hand.
ââOh, is it any thing I can help you with?ââ Andrew stops rubbing and widens his eyes at the younger man.
Andrew was speechless, all this time he had been avoiding Evan for the simple reason that he was the one that was making Andrew confuse. All this nights, he had done nothing but dreamed about the young man, in his dream he kissed, cuddle and had amazing sex with Evan and when he wakes up a rush of guilty feelings come knocking on his door.
He needed it to move out of here and soon, he couldnât betray his son like this.
ââNo, Evan itâs about work but donât worry Iâll figure it out, thanks for the offer.ââ He grumbles walking into the kitchen.
Evan stayed quiet, it seemed like more than just work to him but if Andrew didnât want to share and get help than he wasnât going to push him.
Evan felt a pang of disappointment in his chest; he really wanted to help Andrew.
He knew he had a crush on the older man, but it would pass he knew that. He couldnât pursue this crush seeing as Drew his best friend wouldnât like it much. Evan didnât want to risk losing his best friend just because of his hormones.
So Andrew was off limits, and it wasnât like he had a chance with the man, the hot sexy older straight man.
With a sigh he decided to do something more productive other than think about what couldâve been with Andrew.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Drew made it home to find it quiet, he frowns as he knew both his father and Evan were here, he notice how quiet and awkward they both had been around each other, maybe his dad really wasnât ok with Evan being gay?
Maybe Evan wasnât ok having his best friendâs dad living with them?
He didnât know what the reason was but he was going to find out, but how?
As he thought about how to get them both together at the same time he went ahead and went into the kitchen to make himself something to eat, after the math class he just had he need it something in his stomach.
ââHey, youâre home whatâs up how was class?ââ Evan questions his friend with a soft smile on his lips.
ââEh, it was ok I just wished theyâd cut the freaking classes to half an hour instead of the full two hours, Iâm starving.ââ Drew replies as he stuffs his mouth with food.
ââWhat are you up to?ââ He asks while chugging his beer.
ââIâm thinking about going out, you know the mourning period is over and I need to get out there.ââ Evan states making a face at his friend, who currently looks like a chipmunk with his cheeks full of food.
Andrew decided to come into the kitchen at that moment and Evan got quiet.
ââCool, how about me and dad joined you, we all need a night out.ââ Drew offers not giving them a chance to say no. ââI donât want to embarrassed you and Evan, why donât you two go.ââ Andrew chirps.
ââNonsense, dad go get dressed and Evan wait for us.ââ Evan opens his mouth to object but Drew gave him the look. The one that says, I already decided and itâll happen look.
Andrew sighs as he puts some jeans on and a nice black dress shirt, great this was just great all this time he avoided Evan only to end up going out with him.
Once they were all standing in the living room, Evan gave them a shy look.
ââI had plans to go to a gay club, but since you two are straight, well we can go to one of your clubs.ââ Evan pipes with an embarrassed smile.
ââFuck that, we can go to a gay club, Iâm comfortable with that, how about you dad?ââ Drew tilted his head to the side as he asks his father; this was a test to see if his father really wasnât ok with Evan being gay.
ââIâm fine with it too, as long as thereâs beer I donât care.ââ Andrew shrugs and thought to himself, maybe this whole infatuation with Evan will pass; maybe we just need to hang out with each other to see him as my sonâs best friend and not my sexual fantasy.
Evan was nervous at having Andrew with them, he and Drew did this from time to time, and they would take turns to go to a regular club or a gay club but this time they had Andrew with them and Evan was afraid Andrew would judge him for liking this places.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They were sitting in a booth drinking beer, Andrew was looking around, and spotted a couple of guys making out, he found himself aroused at the display instead of uncomfortable.
A nice looking man came up and asks Evan to dance, Andrew gritted his teeth as he sees Evan accepting the hand that was stretch out to him.
He didnât tear his eyes of the couple as they made it to the dance floor and started dancing.
He made fists digging his nails into the palms of his hands as he sees the man grinding himself on Evanâs ass. Evan moved to the beat of the music also grinding his ass on the manâs lower half.
He clenched his jaw at the sight, he was feeling possessive, jealous of Evan, and that shocked him.
Drew eyed his father, he seen that look before on a bunch a girls when he was out with someone that wasnât them, the one his father had in his eyes.
But it couldnât be possible, that looked meant his father was jealous. Drew follow the gaze and found Evan bumping uglies with the guy that had ask him to dance. He turns his eyes back to his dad and saw how his father had his hands into fists as he stares at Evan.
Could it be possible that his father was jealous of Evan? And if it was, how was he supposed to react?
He worried about this, he loved Evan as a brother and this was his father, they were both vulnerable from their break-ups and didnât want either of them hurting and this had disaster written all over it.
He didnât want his father to use Evan as rebound, and Drew wasnât even sure how his best friend felt about his father.
Drew decided not to voice out his discoveries, at least not til he had real proof that his father felt this way, who knows maybe he was wrong about his fatherâs reactions. He sighs and takes a big drink from his beer.
His father stood up and turns to look at his son.
ââIâm going to head out, you guys ok alone?ââ Drew smiles nodding at his father, he wasnât going to make him stayed here if he didnât want to, after all he did come to a gay club proving that he wasnât a homophobe.
Andrew rush to get out of there, he knew if he wouldâve stay any longer he wouldâve done something harsh, like taking Evan out of that fuckers hands, maybe punch the asshole that dare to touch the younger man.
He didnât know where all this feelings were coming from, he never gotten them before.
What the fuck is going on with me? He thought as he grabbed a cab and went home.
