How far? [BoyxBoy] [Book I]

Chapter 13

“What are you doing here ma?” I asked anxiously as we all settled into the couch.

“Anthony!” Immy protested my tone.

“It’s fine Immy, Anthony likes to get to the point, just like his father.” She smiled. I waited for her to continue. “Can’t a mom visit her son?” She questioned, innocently.

“Uh huh. Sure.” I replied.

She laughed a deep laugh. “Well that is partly the reason.” She shrugged.

“What is the other reason?” Immy asked before I could.

“Well,” she said, starting to warm up for her explanation. “There is going to be this little proud party in town, held by my friend. You guys would love him!” She bounced with joy.

“That’s nice mom, but when is it?” I asked.

“Next weekend!” She said, practically jumping off of the couch and into the air.

“Well we will see if we can make it.” I said, starting to make up plans so I don’t have to go. It’s not that I don’t want to go, it’s just that my mom will try and set me up with a whole bunch of guys and yeah I don’t really want that, since I have Ronny. I looked over at Andrew, and caught him staring at me.

He gave me a smile, and I returned it.

I turned my focus back to my mom, she was in the middle of telling a story about her friend, the host of the party. I smiled at her, and she used hand gestures to show the enthusiasm in her story.

After my mother was done telling her story and we all were done catching up, I decided that we should go out to eat. Everybody agreed of course, so we all left Immy’s and set out to go to my favorite restaurant in town.

When we got to ‘Georgi’s’ my favorite little Italian restaurant, we all piled into the restaurant all happy and giddy.

“Great choice.” My mom complimented me as she looked around at the décor.

We sat at a long table, just enough room for us.

I sat across from Andrew with my mom on my right side and Immy on my left, and Vanessa sitting in front of her.

From the outside looking in we all must seem like one big happy family. I am the only one that feels out of place, I should be with Ronny right now, but instead I left him to deal with his problems. I feel like a horrible boyfriend.

We ordered our drinks and waited for them to arrive. My mom started to talk to Andrew, the usual stuff like what his major is, and what he loves to do.

“Well I am an art major, just like Anthony, and I guess I love to sing.” He shrugged.

Our drinks arrived and I was the first to take a sip of mine. I ordered an ice tea, because I really don’t drink soda at all.

“Hmm, an art major that loves to sing?” My mom questioned. “Are you sure that you don’t play for Anthony’s team?” My mom asked curiously.

When she said that I was in the middle of one long gulp and chocked and spit it up when she said that.

“Mom!” I yelled. Attending to the mess I just made.

Andrew didn’t answer till I was in the middle of another long gulp.

“Yeah I am sure I do, that’s why I love him.” He stated.

I chocked and spit up again. And everyone joined in on the laughter, laughing at me of course. Who else would bring the entertainment if I didn’t.

“I have to go to the bathroom.” I groaned, getting up from my seat, and heading for the bathroom.

When I got into the bathroom, I instantly locked it and went to the mirror. I looked at my face in the mirror. My face looked normal, except for that slight bruise that was still on collar bone, I am glad that my mom hasn’t seen it.

She did have an abusive past with my father so if she knew how my boyfriend was then should would definitely go after him. I splashed water on my face to snap me back into reality. I grabbed a paper towel and wiped my face.

I went to unlock the door, but before I could go out, Andrew walked in, pushing me aside and locking the door with us both in it.

“What are you doing?” I asked confused.

“I needed to see you.” He said looking me over.

“You have seen me all night, and apparently slept with me, I think you have seen me enough.” I sighed.

“That’s not what I meant. I want to really see you.” He said.

“That makes no sense.” I told him. “Look we have to go back to dinner before someone thinks that we are doing the dirty in here.” I breathed out, walking past him and unlocking the door. I pulled it open and looked at him, holding the door open for him to go out first. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair, but he walked out ahead of me.

When we got to the table my mom and Immy both gave me a knowing look.

“So mom,” I started, “you must meet my boyfriend Ronny soon.” I quickly breathed out. I didn’t want to look at Andrew’s face because I knew that he was hurt by me saying that. But it was the truth.

“Oh?” My mom said while taking a sip of her drink.

“Yeah, he is great.” I said to her, and she smiled in response. I heard Andrew clear his throat, but when I looked at him, he was looking down at his food. He had his fists clenched on the table, you could see his knuckles turning as white as bone, because he was holding them so tight.

I turned back to my mom, but her eyes didn’t meet mine, they were staring at something else. My neck? My neck! I yelled in my head, I forgot to cover up that bruise, that’s what I went in the bathroom for.

“What is that?” My mom as curiously.

“What?” I asked innocently.

“That, on your neck.” She said, sternly. I wasn’t going to get away with this one.

“I tripped and fell.” I stated.

She looked at me like I was an idiot.

“That’s funny, because it looks about the same size as a fist.” She said looking down at her food. I swallowed the huge lump in my throat and looked down at my food. I didn’t realize it had come already.

“I don’t know what your talking about.” I mumbled, to scared to say it aloud because my voice would of gave away my lie.

“I think we should order desert now!” Immy shouted out, interrupting the awkward silence.

I cleared my throat and looked up from my food, my mom was still staring at me.

“Anthony..” She said my name in a motherly tone.

“Yeah?” My voice squeaked.

“Did Ronny do that to you?”
