Chapter 25: Chapter 25

Jayden seemed happier recently. Whenever he got home from work he was giddy and hungry. Which Enoch didn't mind. It meant he could feed as much food as he wanted to Jayden. When Christmas rolled around Jayden was in charge of the guest list. He invited some obvious ones like Tom, Alyce and Jacob. But he also invited people like Bailey and Jayden's brother. Jayden had only one brother but 3 sisters. The rest of his family other then his mother, grandmothers and Aunts were male. It was a miracle when his parents popped out 3 baby girls. Enoch was setting the table when he heard the door bell ring. He opened it and found a tall burly man with brunette hair and bright blue eyes. It was like looking at Jayden but if he was tall and muscular. "Jayden's brother I presume?" Enoch said. "Yeah. Mike is the name. Pleasure to meet you. If it isn't in polite may I ask how you are related to my brother?" Mike said politely which surprised Enoch. He expected him to be all rough and tumble and rude. But he was very polite. "I'm his boyfriend, Enoch." Enoch said. "Oh, well nice to finally see you in person. Jayden talks about you from time to time and it's wonderful to put a face to the name, but it does ring a bell. Other then what Jayden has told me of course" Mike said before asking if he could come in. "Wow you've got quite a place here. How'd you afford it? Are you a doctor or something?" Mike said to Enoch. "No actually I'm an Author. My parents are the CEOs of O'Connor books. They let me have the property before I came out to them, after that they don't even talk to me." Enoch admitted. "Oh well that's interesting. I don't read much, but I would read one of your books for sure." Mike replied. Mike then sat down at the Table and they talked while they waited for everyone else to arrive. "So you go to the gym too? I wouldn't of guessed that." Mike said. "Well I haven't been going recently, I cut back on excersise during the holidays, after all family is more important then anything." Enoch said. Just then the door bell rang. At the door was Jacob and Alyce. He let them in and introduced them to Mike. Then he heard the door bell ring again and let Tom in. They all waited and talked. What was taking Jayden so long? Then the doorbell rung. He saw Bailey and Jayden standing at the door way right next to eachother. "Sorry I took so long, I had... an extra shift. Then I ran into Bailey and we..." Jayden said trailing off before Bailey whispered something in his ear. "Went clothes shopping, my buttons burst." Jayden said. They both walked in and Jayden did a little awkward wave at his brother. "Oh my god! Who invited the whale!" Mike joked as Jayden sat down. "So you still doing Gay shit?" Mike said as they began to eat. "For the last time Mike, I'm bisexual! I'm not gay." Jayden said a little irritated. Mike acted entirely different around Jayden. They all pulled crackers together, put gifts under the tree, played secret Santa, ate and even played charades. Everyone began to leave so Enoch went into the bedroom to fall asleep. He was so full, bloated and tired he flopped onto the bed without hesitation. Then he heard strange noises from the guest bedroom.
