Touchdown For The Gays

-Chapter Twenty One

"We should eat breakfast with Oliver."

"I think you should stop trying to give aids," James says. "I can not be seen sitting with that queer boy."

"But he's fun!"

"And I'm a virgin." He says lightly.

We walk into the cafe and I look around for Oliver but he isn't anywhere in sight. My eyes land on Freddie, who is sitting with Tristan, John, and some other people who's names I never learned.

"Since when did they become cool?" I ask with a frown.

James follows my eyes. "Damn Riley, your open relationship is getting bigger and bigger."

"I wouldn't even call it a relationship anymore. Seriously, what is up with him?"

"Nothing, rumor has it he has a problem getting it up."

"What? I'm talking about Freddie."

"Oh! That's Freddie."

I frown and say nothing more. James can be so dense sometimes it is honestly frustrating. We grab our breakfast and I turn around and see Oliver is finally here.

"He's here , let's go sit." I say while dragging James towards the table.

"I better get 7 seven minutes in heaven for this." He mumbles.

I sit James down at the table despite his protests. Oliver glances up and gives me a bright smile.

"Good morning Riley," He says with a grin. Then he notices James and it quickly dissolves. "Hello James."

James just grunts in response and digs into his food.

"I apologize he's not housebroken."

"Don't apologize for me to that fag!" James yells bringing attention to us.

"Coming from the queer." Oliver snarls back.

"I honestly think this a start to a beautiful friendship." I joke giving them both bright smiles.

I look at Oliver who gives me an annoyed look then I look at James who is giving me a glare. Even though it's a mean look I can't help the butterflies that comes into my stomach. Did I really have feelings for James this whole time but just settle for Freddie because he was more expressive at first? Am I too late? Will James even want me anymore?

I sometimes feel selfish because of my own feelings. But these guys were pretty selfish when they weren't even thinking about mine!

"So practice is going to cut short today," Oliver brings me out of my thoughts. "Um, you guys wanna come chill at my cabin after?"

"I'd rather not. I have better things to do like staring at a wall." James retaliates rudely while shoving food into his mouth.

I roll my eyes. "We'd love to."

James gives me another look but doesn't protest. It makes me cheer to myself. A pro that comes with a guy having a crush on you is that he'll do what you want with little complaints.

"Sweet," Oliver says with a bright grin. "I think Isaac might stop by."

"Great, the other queer." James mumbles.

"Don't worry James. I'll invite your boyfriend Tristan if you want to feel more comfortable."

"You know what you litte fa-"

"We'll be there!" I yell interrupting their little argument before it can go another further.

But I can't help the huge smile that goes on my face. Their little bickering is somewhat amusing. You can tell it isn't pure hate there, they just haven't had the chance to get to know each other and they're judging only by what they see from the outside.
