Just when Simon didn't see an end in sight, along came Declan. They met at an AA meeting. Naturally, Declan announced that he didn't really need to be there.
"I mean, I was just on a bender. Classes were over. I wanted to party, you know," he got up in their circle of metal chairs and begin to talk as if he might be the best storyteller ever. He then mentioned how he smashed his little black car into a street light pole and how the rest was history. "Really, I don't have a serious problem."
Simon couldn't say if he was put off. After all, Declan had a certain charisma about him. Perhaps it was that slight Tom Cruise nose of his. And he didn't waste any time getting his flirt on once he cornered Simon. Oh, and he smelled of lemons and jasmine.
Actually, they were the same height, and well it all worked in each other's favor..after all. Simon spent the night with him. Discovering each other's earthiness in a rather sterile townhouse.
Naturally, his brother Xander was typically dismayed about the whole ordeal. He got an earful which Simon didn't really need.
"It's not that big of a deal," Simon shrugged. Wasn't that the way it is? Xander rolled his eyes at Simon's question and just said. "You need to be really careful."
"Do I?" Simon couldn't help but say with a sigh, but quickly promised Xander he would invite Declan to dinner or something. Really, couldn't his brother let it go? Honestly, he'd been waiting what seemed his whole life for something so...exhilarating. And Declan did have a lot to give. Of course, Simon was ready for the challenge. Simon thought of Declan in pastels, but there was a darker side to him too. It made Simon smile to think about it. At least for another twenty-four hours or so of happy thoughts..until he might see Declan again.
Still, he knew those sorts of endeavors would not be happening in his brother's basement. Although, Simon did wonder if Declan felt the same way. Of course, he had to. He just had to. Simon went off to think about Declan and their night and all the full-on sexiness of it.
Simon found himself shaking in laughter. God, it was like he was going out with himself.
I think this is the beginning of something beautiful.

ReplyDeleteOoh, what an exciting turn of events! With, of course, some killer descriptions: "Discovering each other's earthiness in a rather sterile townhouse." and "Simon thought of Declan in pastels, but there was a darker side to him too."
