He pressed his earphones deeper to avoid the drilling sound coming from the kitchen window and went on reading his “Hide& Seek” book.
His tongue slid, moist, hot, seductively determined, between her teeth. His fingers tightened against her scalp. Delanie met his invasion with a challenge of her own and was rewarded with the hoarse sound of his groan as her tongue touched his. A shaft of pure fire shot through her.
She twisted to wrap her arms awkwardly around his neck. His eagerness sent her pulse racing as she met him halfway between the bucket seats. It was impossible to get their bodies aligned the way they were sitting…….
He scratched his ear and pressed the “next” button on his player
“and I’m a black rainbow and I’m an ape of god……..”
It was so hot in the kitchen, his eyes were red and painful because of the sleepless night he had, he heard something moving behind him, turned his back and tried to focus on the LCD, Marylin Manson dancing crazily on his screen.
Surely behind the metal door of the fridge he was saying something, he turned the volume up so he had no chance to hear Ace.
“don’t like the drugs but the drugs like me……..”
“I hate him, I hate him, I hate him.” He thought and pressed the earphones deeper staring at the screen, surely the earphones were hurting him.
He bit his lower lip trying to keep calm and not to slap his sleepy face. “fucking bastard, I thought he was different, how dare he………” hatred, revenge, pain were all he could feel at that time.
Ace put the jar of jam on the table stretching to get the butter and cheese from the frige door ajar.
“Asshole, how comfortable he acts as if nothing had happened, I’m gonna kick his ass outta……”
Ace pulled the chair in front of him and sat on the other side of the table, his legs brushed against his knees before Idiot moved his knee to the other side.
The room wasn’t hot at all with the rain started a few minutes ago, a cold breeze was coming through the window but Idiot felt so dammed feverish. He bit his lip and clenched his fists to avoid saying anything, the music was so loud he was sure he’d be deaf in a few minutes.
Ace put butter on his toast and tried to open the jar, stuck, no matter how hard he tried, again and again he tried, useless. His lips moved probably saying something and then holding the jar right in front of Idiot’s face.
He stared at his bluish grey eyes,” how dare he wanted me to open the jar for him? Why don’t he pack and leamme alone?” Idiot asked himself before grabbing the jar and making a bee line to the faucet. Hot water ran through his fingers as he stared at the running water trying to send the tears back to their storage bag.
He wrapped his bony fingers round the lid and turned it in a circular motion, it opened at last, he put the jar angrily on the table and went to the window pretending he was interested in the workers outside going back to work after the short rain.
He was sure something was singing in his ears but he had no idea what the words were as if he was deaf, his vision blurred as a drop of tear ran down his cheek . he could never imagine how easily his heart was broken, he couldn’t convince himself to even look at him, let alone talking.
Drowning in his own thought, he leaned his head against the window and stared outside, asking himself so many different questions all starting with “WHY”.
Ace finished his breakfast and he was too sleepy to realize his lover’s expression. Still feeling quite sick from the too many drinks he had last night; he managed to clean the table after putting the butter in the washbowl, then cupboard and at last back in the fridge. Then he went to the window to see what he was looking at so long, his hand rested on his shoulder pulling the earphone by its end.
He looked out side, following the workers with his eyes before saying:” you know Idiot, I had a very strange dream last night, it’s vague, it’s .. it’s… you know it was more like a wet dream, nothing comfortable you know……it was me and you on the bed and you were shouting angrily at me and begging me to stop……”
He wasn’t listening, he didn’t want to listen to him because he was sure he could change his mind with his words. His words always did the magic, so deep, so wise, so logical so rational, he loved the way he talked to him but not this time, he didn’t want to listen so he put his left earphone back and pressed “next” button, holding his player firmer in his hand, he could feel the pain in his heart got more intense, his player was the only thing that could help him avoid his words yet it was another distracter itself because it reminded him of the good time they had together, all the joy and smiles and kisses as he opened his gift, he liked what he bought for him, it was the kind of player he wanted to have for a while.
He clenched his fist harder, leaving nail bites on his palm and closed his eyes to avoid the tears. “ how dare he?” he thought, inhaling deeply, now his voice seemed so distant, he could hardly understand him.
Ace stopped talking about his vague memory and looked at the man standing by his side, tracks of tears were visible on his cleanly shaved face, and his lip was white like the kitchen walls as he bit it harder. He closed his eyes in disbelief then opened it as if he was wishing the image in front of him change in the nano seconds he closed his eyes.
He opened his mouth to say something, his voice failed him, he could feel a big lump in his throat, “ it wasn’t possible, how could he….?” He couldn’t stop the guilty feeling and the voice of his conscience.
Ace looked for Idiot’s hand holding his player firmly a few inches away from his body. He pressed the “power” button until he was sure it was off and now Idiot could hear his voice.
His hand was as cold as ice, so did his eyes, now staring emotionless and making him feel more guilty. The stony silence was hard to bear and Ace had to break it with the proper words or he’d be gone forever.
“it wasn’t a dream, right?” Ace asked with a shaking voice. His expression didn’t change as if he was built of stone.
“I I I …. Just can’t…… I didn’t…. jesus I really didn’t…..” Ace searched for words but it was like his brain shut down a few minutes ago. He wanted to explain though he was sure nothing could explain his brutal, lustful, cruel behavior.
He put his hand on his face and tried to make him look at his face, “holy smokes, he’s cold as ice.” He thought as his fingers touched his tender skin.
Ace gulped nervously before saying another word, holding his hands tightly he opened his mouth but couldn’t say a word. He was sure if he couldn’t convince him then, he would never forgive him.
He tried to recall his last night, there were too much to drink, he was so mad at his boss and colleagues, he had an accident and he had heard the news about NYC cab drivers and that was more than enough for a day but he had no right to treat him like that, like a fuck buddy, like a slut, like a… , he failed to think of proper words, how much he hated himself, how he could ask for his forgiveness when he could hardly explain his behavior, surely he was understanding but not when he crossed the red lines Idiot cautiously drew around him a while ago. He had promised not to cross those lines when he was still hurt, still struggling to understand himself, to not to blame himself on every single thing happening in his life.
Ace moved his hands slowly round his waist, he didn’t protest but his stare didn’t change a bit, he was deeply hurt. Now his hands were carefully wrapped around his waist and he tried to pull him closer but he put his hands on his chest and pushed him hard he almost fell on his back. “god , his hands are so cold.” Ace thought still shivering by his cold touch.
Idiot left kitchen without looking back ,going straight to his room, he locked the door.
Ace tried to get back to his feet, walking up and down the living room, he had to think of a solution. The clock stroke 1 time. “what?” Ace looked at the clock, it wasn’t possible, he had slept so long, it was time for lunch and he’d just finished eating his breakfast without knowing the time. He had to go to work but then what the hell Idiot was doing at home at that hour of the day, he should be at work too.
He paused a little before knocking on the door, no one answered, nothing moved. He knocked louder. “gimme my clothes and then do whatever you’re doing.” Ace shouted angrily, no answer came, he waited for a while, at last the door opened and pile of clothes was thrown out, the door was shutting again, he had to be quick or he’d be gone forever, he pushed the door hard and got inside, Idiot was on the floor, surely he didn’t expect such a big push. Ace looked at him for what seemed like hours but wasn’t more than 30 seconds, he had to be quick, he made his last decision and without warning jumped on Idiot who was trying to get back to his feet, their faces were less than an inch from each other, Idiot looked shocked and tried to avoid Ace but he was late and it was useless because he didn’t wait for him, his lips were pressing hard against his, their bodies grinding against one another, he started licking his lips trying to taste him, Idiot resisted for a while but it didn’t last long. His doors were broken and once again he was inside. Tender touches, sweet taste of jam and butter, smell of his cologne on his lover’s body, they started kissing wild, letting their cheeks brushes against each other feeling his unshaved face again and again, there was no use to resist, surrender was the best way to forgive so he surrendered and Ace took advantage, try to dry fuck him as his hand slid inside his t-shirt.
He liked his cool breath smelling like mint, he wanted to eat him, he wanted him to be his, to be the submissive boy he was in bed, not the bad-tempered furious kid in the kitchen.
Ace ran his fingers through his hair and asked:” would you forgive me?”
“If you promise.”
“promise what?”
“never ever again do that to me, no matter how angry you are.”
“ I promise from the bottom of my heart” he whispered in his ear and held his ass in his hand to pull him closer.
The door bell rang, they tried to ignore it but there was no use.
Ace kissed Idiot one last time and got back to his feet to open the door knowing he was forgiven.
