Rating: PG-13
Matt and Jim had been practically monogamous since their wedding. Jim traveled with Matt to Vancouver to the set of his new movie. Being his agent gave him leeway to spend time with his love without raising eyebrows. If anyone ever found out what went on between breaks in the middle Lawrence brother's trailer... well after all they were still newlyweds.
Jim sat in Matt's trailer going through his emails and mail he had his secretary forward to him. Today was the last day of filming and the two lovebirds were driving to Tom's house to attend Tom and Mike's Freak of the Week reunion party. The Smallville stars got the idea after filming an episode where many of the guest mutants on the show were scheduled to appear. Tom and Mike contacted other former guest stars for their theme party. Since their wedding, Matt and Jim had grown very close to Tom and Mike and had dinner with them as often as they could.
The party coincided with their six-month anniversary. Jim found a multitude of emails from Joe, Andy and David, Seth and a few other young celebrities who knew their secret. Jim knew that eventually his secret marriage to Matthew Lawrence couldn't stay hidden forever. He just hoped that they could get through a year of wedded bliss before the cat was out of the bag.
Jim opened an envelope from Tom Welling, which contained the guest list for the party. Among the invitees was Shawn Ashmore, Adam Brody who was currently starring on the OC. Adam was bringing his costar Benjamin McKenzie with him. Eric Olsen was also invited. Jim knew that he and Matt had worked together in "The Hot Chick". He tried not to let his insecurities surface again since Matt had assured him that after a brief affair, they were friends and nothing more. Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Zachary Ty Bryan had also agreed to attend and Jim was fast getting an idea of how the party would end. Hopefully, he thought with a smile, with him being tied down and serviced by all present.
The arrival of a new email drew Jim back to the present. It was from Chad his former associate. He hadn't had the opportunity to deal with him since he'd harassed Matt at the WB party months earlier. He opened the email out of curiosity and sat mortified at what he saw before him. In the attachment was a photo manipulation of Matt in a bridal gown and Jim in tuxedo. A mock wedding announcement similar to the kind found in the society pages heralded the news of their nuptials. Jim's hands trembled as he scrolled down and read the menacing words beneath the picture:
SEND YOUR BEAUTIFUL BRIDE TO MY HOTEL ROOM TONIGHT OR BE TOMORROW'S HEADLINE.
At the bottom of the screen was an address and room number of a seedy hotel nearby. Jim heard his beloved approaching the trailer and quickly logged off his laptop. 'This can't be happening', he thought over and over again. Matt bounded through the door and pushed the laptop aside, inserting himself in his husband's lap.
"Mmm, I've missed you", he moaned, peppering Jim's face with kisses. "I've got half and hour. Let's get naked."
"I can't sweetie...sorry...I...I have to make some calls."
Jim nearly dumped younger man on the floor as he scrambled to gather his things and make a quick exit.
"Honey", Matt cried out "what's going on?"
Jim pulled the muscular brunette into his arms and gave him a brief kiss.
"Nothing. I'll pick you up tonight and we'll head for Tom's. Don't be late."
Before Matt could answer, his beautiful blonde husband was out the door. Matt flopped into the empty chair and sighed. Sometimes he found it hard to understand how Jim's mind worked. He was often insecure about their relationship and his looks. It baffled Matt because Jim was the most attractive man he knew. Tom had a secret crush on him and Matt's own brothers were crazy about him. His workouts with the Smallville star added to his sex appeal. Jim was ripped and Matt enjoyed exploring every curve of muscle with his hands, teeth and tongue.
'He must have found out that Eric would be at the party', Matt reasoned to himself.
He decide when he saw his love tonight, he would confront him and prove to him beyond a shadow of a doubt that he had nothing to worry about. Having settled that in his mind, Matt took a quick shower and grabbed a bite to eat before returning to the set.
'Tonight', he smiled
