I only spent about half of the day lying in bed. Honestly, if it hadn't been for the exhaustion, then I wouldn't have had a problem at all. I was just fucking tired as hell from all the, uh, exercise last night.
After resting for a long time, I was bored of being in the room, so I decided to go to the kitchen with Makai to make dinner. I needed to keep practicing or I might forget how to cook and get worse than I was before. As for right now, after these last couple months of practicing, I was actually starting to get pretty good in the kitchen.
OK, I'll admit that I was nowhere near as good as Makai was, but I hadn't been cooking that long and I hadn't been trained by a chef. I was trained by my boyfriend who liked to kiss me, touch me, and even worse things than that, while we were supposed to be cooking.
The food always turned out good, but that didn't mean that I was able to pay attention to the process every time. It was making my learning take a lot longer than it probably should have.
Right now, I was heading to the kitchen and trying not to blush with the memories of the night before. I was just glad that Ben and Ryan didn't know what we had done or why I had spent all day in my room. Or rather, what the two of them probably viewed as Makai's room. Did it still count as my room since I moved in with him, into a room that was already his? I mean, I thought it did, but I was hardly an expert on those types of things.
Anyway, I was trying to ignore that. I was going to be making lasagna with Makai and that wasn't a quick process. I didn't care though, it's what I wanted to eat and Makai said that I could have anything that I wanted.
We started with prepping all of the ingredients. There were fresh tomatoes, herbs, noodles, Italian sausage, cheese, and a few others. While the noodles cooked, I browned the meat and Makai started to make the sauce with the tomatoes and herbs. I wasn't good enough for that just yet.
After the basics were done, it was time to start layering the stuff in the pan. We were working together, and Makai was back to his old tricks. I would lean over to put in a layer of noodles or something, only for Makai to come up behind me with his ingredient. He would put his arms around me and force me to lean forward so that he could place his layer in the pan. He would also take that time to kiss my neck as well.
"Stop it." I snapped at him when his breath made me shiver. I didn't want the others to see us like this.
"Fine." He chuckled into my ear, the rumbling movement from his chest to my back was making me shiver again. Dammit, stupid Makai.
At that moment, Ben and Ryan came into the kitchen and I saw that, for some reason, Ryan was grinning at me like an idiot. That was the only word that I could describe it with. He looked like a total idiot at the moment.
"Hey, you're up." Ryan sat at the counter and continued to look at me with joy filled eyes. "See Ben, he can walk. You don't have anything to worry about. You don't have to-."
"OH MY GOD! SHUT UP!" Ben went red and so did I. They knew that I had sex with Makai last night and apparently, they thought that I hadn't been able to walk afterwards. Well, at least Ryan had.
"What? It's true." Ryan was still grinning like an idiot, because he was a fucking idiot.
With my face burning red, I walked to the back of the kitchen near the pantry to hide for a few minutes. I didn't want them to see me.
"Hey, Ryan, try to keep some of those thoughts to yourself please." Makai was politely reprimanding our friend.
"Huh? Did I do something wrong?" It was clear that Ryan didn't understand what was going on. He didn't think that he had made a mistake at all.
"Ryan, you just embarrassed the hell out of Ocean, and me for that matter." Ben sounded nearly as embarrassed as I felt. I didn't know what either of us were going to do with Ryan at this point.
"What? I did? I..I didn't mean to." Ryan was looking between Ben and me. I was still trying to hide my face, but I could see him look at me. Panic had taken over and replaced the happy look that he had been wearing. "I'm sorry, Ocean. I didn't mean to say something that was going to embarrass you. I..I guess I am just still so happy to realize that I am in love that I can't help myself. I..I'm sorry."
"It's fine." I tried to drain the excess blood from my cheeks and make the redness go away while I walked back to the counter to help with dinner. "I know that you didn't intend to be mean when you said that, so it's fine."
"It is not fine." Ben countered my words and looked at Ryan. "I know you're happy and all that. I am happy too. I never once thought that we would be at this point in our relationship, but please just calm down a little bit. We will move at our own pace, and we don't need to copy anyone." He was calling him out for yesterday when he was mirroring Makai on the couch. "Also, try to read the room so you don't embarrass our friends."
"Yeah, I will. I'm sorry. I'm such an idiot."
"Nah, you're just new to all of this." Makai tried to soothe things over, I loved him for that. He was so nice to (almost) everyone.
We ate dinner together after that, once we had it finished. The four of us watched a movie in the living room, then went back to our respective rooms and called it a night. I wouldn't let Makai touch me at all though, I was still too tired from yesterday.
When morning came around, we had to start figuring out what our new routine would be. There were four of us now, and it didn't make sense that we should take two or more cars when we were all coming back to the same place. If there were plans for after school that would be different but other than that it was just a waste. Not to mention, Ben and Ryan both offered to help with the cooking as well, but they didn't know that we had someone to come do that for us a few days a week.
I will admit that it was a bit hectic, trying to figure out everything now. It wasn't that we were overcrowded or anything, it was just that none of us had been thinking about school at all over the weekend, so everything was scattered all over the place. Not to mention that Ben and Ryan had both been kicked out of their homes and had to start their routine somewhere else entirely. It wasn't an easy feat for any of us really, but especially them.
And then there was the fact that I was nervous as all hell. I was worried about how the day was going to go. I mean, I had kissed Makai in front of everyone.
OK, so it might not have been the ENTIRE school, but it was close enough to it. And I was certain that everyone that wasn't there knew about it all by now. Everyone was going to be talking about me, about us. And I just know that Justin and Brittney were going to try something again today.
It wouldn't matter that I admitted to being gay, or that I confirmed that I was dating Makai, they would still try to do something about it. Them and their blatant homophobic mindset. Dammit, today was going to be horrible.
I had to go to school though, even though I didn't want to. Even if I was going to try and stay home, Makai would just drag me out of the house and to the car. Oh, and he would have plenty of help if he needed it, now that Ben and Ryan were living here.
I had no choice but to go to school and face whatever bullshit was going to be waiting for us. Hell, maybe today would be the day that we were kicked off the team for being gay. I've been waiting for that boot to fall ever since I realized that I was, in fact, in love with Makai.
It would be painful for me, but I would deal with it. Makai was more important to me than the swim team. I would choose him over some short term high school sports glory. I guess that also said just how much I have grown as a person as well.
As we pulled up to the school, I noticed that we were running later than usual. The parking lot was filled with all the cars from those on the swim team that drove to school. I could see Justin and Brittney's cars as well, but they weren't waiting for us. I bet they thought that we weren't coming today.. I bet they're going to be surprised when they see us.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
