Love at Last Chapter 3: Whirlwind
"Jay what the hell are you doing you're gonna mess it up."
"Sheldon calm down, I know what I'm doing here."
"Uh huh and when you get all these wires mixed up don't come crying to me, because I'm going to say I told you so."
Jay was trying to hook up his new stereo into the DVD player and the VCR. He claims to be all knowing but he isn't. I left him to try and figure it out for himself since he knew what he was doing.
My watch read 12:00 and I had absolutely nothing to do, Jay would no doubt be tied up with this system for a while so I went over to the cafeteria to grab some food. It was pretty empty at the time so I just sat down near the wall by myself. The food was damn good and I was thoroughly enjoying it until Nate walked in looking very very good. He was wearing khakis with a blue shirt and tie. I tried not to let him see me until I called his name, and he sure as hell didn't either, he walked right in and started piling food on his plate. It was obvious that he was hungry judging from the two plates he had on his tray. After he got his food under control he looked around for a place to sit. His head was moving from side to side and then he looked right at me, then walked another way. He took about five steps then turned around smiling at me and walked over and sat down.
"Gotcha!" He said with a smile.
"Yeah you did for a minute, so how's it going, and whoa what are you looking spiffy for?"
As he was arranging his food trying to figure out what to eat first he was talking at the same time.
"Well, in about an hour I have a presentation to make in class, that's it for today. I just wanted to look good. Oh, and tomorrow I have a date!"
My mouth fell open. It was obvious by me expression that he had shocked me.
"Yeah, I should have told you that I met this guy last night at the party." His face was sad as he told me this horrible news that I didn't want to hear.
"Oh yeah? Well who is he?" I was doing my best to smile and sound happy...I tried to hide the dissapointment in my voice.
"Well, I don't really know everything about him but we talked for a while. We talked about the usual stuff you know, family, friends, stuff like that."
"Uh huh." I was crushed. I felt like I had been hit by a bus.
"Yeah, he isa really cute black guy who was dressed as get this...Robin Hood of all people last night."
After I snapped my head up and looked at himall I saw was an ear to ear grin plastered on his face. That's twice in less than five minutes that he played a trick on me, I couldn't do anything but smile and feel stupid.
"Looks like I could've kept you going for a long time but I would much rather see you smile than see you looking all saddy waddy." He poked his bottom lip out and gave me puppy dog eyes as he said that.
"Damn you got me again. As you can see I'm very gullible....so what did you exactly have in mind as far as a date Mr...you know what, I don't even know your last name Nate."
"Hmmm...you sure I didn't tell you?"
"Yeah."
"Childress." (Pronounced shill driss)
"Nathan Childress...nice." It sounded nice, but then again everything about him was nice to me. "So about this date tomorrow?"
"McDonalds good?" He interjected.
My mouth once again dropped open and I laughed. "Are you serious?"
His smile faded and he looked down, but he looked back up at me smiling. "Hey, if you were thinking Taco Bell sorry, I aint got that kind of money man! McDonalds is cheaper!" Then we both busted out laughing.
"Well, that must mean that you're just as broke as I am." I kidded.
"Yeah exactly dude!" After a whileour laughing subsided and we calmed down a little bit. "But seriously, we'll go somewhere nice."
I shook my head. "Hey, we don't have to go anywhere fancy or anything. Applebee's or Chilis is good."
"OK then you got it. I love Chilis. Does seven thirtyish sound good to you?" He asked.
"Sounds good." I said smiling.
We then ate the rest of our food chatting with each other. I'm not a very talkative person, I mostly say what I need to say then shut up. Nate makes me want to talk to him, I don't know why but I'm a lot more open and talkative with him. Something about him just makes me really comfortable. As we continued our talking Natelooked at his watch and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Holy shit I'm gonna be late I gotta go!"
" Oh sorry I was just talking and talking." I said as I watched him gather his tray.
"No no, it's not your fault." Then he stopped and looked at me. "I seem to lose track of time when I'm with you." That made me smile.
"So who's going to call who?" I asked watching him grab his plates and cups.
"Uhh, I'll call you alright, gotta go. Later man."
"Laterz." I said as I watched him rush out of the dining hall.
I got up a few minutes later and walked back to my room to laugh at Jay still probably trying to put that system together. But as I walked up to the door I heard some music bumping. I opened the door and saw Jay sitting by the stereo pressing buttons messing with the bass and treble, and Briant was sitting on the couch eating some popcorn bobbing his head to the music. When Jay saw me he smiled and raised his fists above his head in victorythen he turned it off.
"So what was that shit about me getting the wires messed up Shel?"
"I had faith in you the whole time Jay, you know that." I said with a smirk.
"Uh huh right.....sooooo I hear there's a NEW guy in your life? Who is this guy? Oh don't look at Briant like that, you know I would've noticed something was up with you."
True. He knew me better than I knew myself sometimes.
"O.K. his name is Nathan." I said giving in.
"Yeah yeah, I know all about him. So is he going to be good for you or what, you know what happened with the other ones." He said looking at Briant. Briant was in a humorous mood and sunk down into the seat covering his face.
"Well, I think he will be good for me, I like him a lot."
"O.K. well sit your butt down and let me teach you a lesson. It's called Madden."
I rolled my eyes and walked over to the couch and sat down. I looked at Jay as he was turning on the game and grabbing his controller. I rolled my eyes again because I knew that in about fifteen minutes I would be whooping his ass like 99-0 and he would be complaining. I grabbed my controller and we let the games begin.....
About an hour later with one minute left in OT, it was second down and I had the ball on his twenty yard line. I didn't want to just kick the field goal, I wanted to score and rub it in. The score was 56-56, and I hiked the ball and dropped back. My blockers gave me good protection and I saw an open man. I threw a bullet right in the end zone...and right into the defenders hands!
"Oooohhhhhhhh yeeeaaahhhh that's it man....oh he's gone baby, he's gone."
Me, Jay, and Briant were all screaming. His man was running the field and my men were diving at his feet trying to tackle him. I'd be dammned if he was about to score on me.
"Look at him go, I aint even gonna look at the screen anymore...and he could go all the wwaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!! TOUCHDOWN!!" Jay was screaming, jumping up and down and hollering. I was laughing at him because he didn't see the flag on the screen.
"Jay...flag, roughing the passer. I'll just take the ball back on the 5."
He looked at the screen and his eyes went through his face. "Son of a bitch! What the FUCK...that is sooo cheap man, roughing the passer my ass!"
All I had did was run the ball with my running back and then the game was over. Jay was pissed of course, but he would get over it.
"Jay, here's a lesson for you...you will never beat me in this game...I'm too damn good baby, I'm just too damn good."
Briant grabbed the controller. "Alright now that you guys are done with your game, I'm gonna finish up mine."
I sat down and watched Briant run around killing and jumping off of walls. But soon I felt myself drifting into the sleep realm and the last thing I remember is Briant saying in an angry voice, "Dammit, jumpacross the roof not off itasshole!"
When I woke up from my slumber I checked my watch and it read 9:30pm. Damn, I had slept the day away and there was no point in trying to do anything given the time, so I just stretched out on the couch and went back to sleep.
Sunday. A beautiful sunny day it was when I woke up at 9:00am bright and early. I got up and did my morning duties and threw some shorts on and then plopped down on the couch to watch some tv. Cartoons actually, Bugs and Daffy, and others.. I was having a good time laughing my ass off at those two having their little dance off in the theatre, even though I had seen it like a thousand times before. Suddenly I heard a door slam against the wall. I looked over and Briant was standing in his doorway wearing nothing but some black boxer briefs. Not that this was anything new to me, we had all seen each other naked and in various states of undress. But he was just standing there looking at me, not saying anything just looking at me as I sat there on the couch. Damn, he was looking good.
"If you strike a pose I'll take a picture for you baby!!" I said.
"Could you be just a little louder please I'm only trying to sleep here."
"Sorry man it's funny." I said looking back and forth between him and the tv chuckling. "You need to get up anyway, look outside man, it's beautiful!"
"Yeah I see... but I'm going back to bed...and could you please not laugh so loud?" He said as he walked back to his room.
A few minutes later it struck me that Jay wasn't up yet. He had to go to work today and he wasn't up yet. He's a waiter at a restaurant in town. I walked to his room and opened up his door and saw that he was dead asleep.
"Jay...Jay get up man it's almost ten." I shook him a few times until he showed signs of life.
"Mmmm what do you want?" He said in a groggy tired voice.
"Have you looked at your clock lately?" I asked.
He put his head up and looked over at his alarm clock which read 9:35am, he let out a long growl then rolled out of his bed and walked to the bathroom cursing. I went back and sat down to watch more tv and after about five minutes Jay was running out the door with his shirt half on.
"Later!" I yelled as the door slammed shut.
************ At 1:00 I still hadn't really moved except to get some food a few times and use the bathroom when nature called, shit I had nothing to do until 7:00 anyway so why not vegetate for the day. Jay was at work, and Briant had finally gotten up and was doing some cleaning in his room, and when he gets to cleaning he cleans. Don't talk to him, don't ask him to do anything, don't tell him to take a break, or you will suffer heavy verbal abuse. So, I let him get his clean on, plus he cleans everything so it works out well.
Having absolutely nothing to do is a two way street, it can be good or bad. At the present time it was very bad because I had nothing at all to do and was bored out of my mind. There was always video games but that got boring after a while.
RING....RING....
I didn't move for the phone. RING....RING....
"Oh don't worry about it Sheldon I'll get it." Briant said. I kept my eyes on the tv screen. I heard him pick up the phone and start talking.
"Hello? Oh hey Nate how's it going man?"
I immediately jumped up off the couch and ran over to Briant.
"...oh yeah I'm doing pretty good thanks...Sheldon? Um...no he's not here right now...Yeah....ooooh what are you wearing?" He had a huge grin on his face and was trying not to laugh in the phone.
"What the hell are you doing?" I whispered. "Give me the phone."
He was swatting my hands away from the phone and talking to Nate.
"Remind him about tonight?...oh what...no that's nothing I'm just trying to do some dishes man."
I finally just yelled in the phone to Nate. "Hey I'm right here!"
"Hahahahaha, here he is man." Then Briant handed me the phone and walked off laughing. I had to compose myself before I started talking, so I took a few deep breaths. Yeah yeah I'm pathetic.
"Hey Nate what's up?"
"Nothin much man. I see Briant was trying to be funny huh?"
"Yeah, he can be a PUNK sometimes!" I yelled at Briant who flipped me off and kept on with his work. "Sooo um...what's up?" I asked
"Well, I just wanted to see what you were doing right at themoment."
"Talking to-"
"Besides talking to me dude."
"Hmmm.....let me think. I'm sitting here watching Briant clean up and I'm watching cartoons. Nothing, I'm bored as hell." I said sighing.
It was pretty silent on the other end for a few moments. "Well, uh, you wanna hang out then? You and me...you know maybe get a bite to eat and chat a little more?"
How could I say no to that?
"Yeah man, I'd love to. Around what time?" I asked.
"Well, how about I come pick you up now, you said you werent busy so..."
"Oh...um... ok, I just need to shower and get dressed, so just knock and Briant should let you in if I'm not done when you get here K?"
"Alright..see you in the nude-I mean a few?" That was obviously one of his flirtatious jokes he likes to throw around.
"Maybe later young Childress, maybe later. Bye."
I ran to my room and grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom and jumped in the shower. Going out again with Nate I thought to myself.I hopped in and washed and hopped out. Briant talking to Nate couldn't be good. I walked to my room and opened my drawer and studied my boxers, boxer briefs, and briefs. It takes me a while to figure out what I want to wear when it comes to that, so I decided on some niceblack boxer briefs.
After putting lotion on I had to decide what I was going to wear, which is always a big thing for me. I heard a knock on the door and my heart sped up. I heard Briant and Nate exchanging hellos and making small talk. I called Briant into my room.
"Damn Shel, I should've kept him for myself...he's fucking hot!"
"Really! No shit, so what's he wearing?" I asked.
"Mmmm well look for yourself."
I cracked the door and peeked out and scanned the room, after I saw him I shut the door. He was wearing apair ofblue jeans with a nice casual button down shirt, and on his feet he had sandals on.
"Oh shit he looks so good man!"
"Yes he does and you better hurry up and get dressed and see him. I'll talk to him until you come out."
"Alright tell him I'll be out in about ten minutes." When Briant walked out of the room I decided on a pair of blue jeans I had recently bought that were pretty nice looking on me, and a nice red one size to small shirt. After applying some cologne and checking my clothes, and face about five times I finally decided I was ready. I walked out and saw him sitting on the couch with Briant chatting. When he saw me a big smile came across his face and he got up and walked over to me.
"Hey there what's up? You look good." As his eyes scanned me up and down I couldn't help but blush. It's a good thing I have dark skin or else I would've been as red as the shirt I was wearing.
"Thanks so are you ready to go?"
"Sure, after you."
As we were walking towards the door Briant was all smiles.
"Now I want you home by 11:30 is that clear?"
I just laughed. "Yes father I understand." Then we walked out the door.
