A Turn of Events - Part One

I was staring at him while he was driving the car. He looked magnificent. Carl is my best friend, my one and only friend, 'cause everybody in Hellington College thought that I was a really weird geek [I'm into electronics and rock music]. I'm Travis, by the way, 5"11 tall, blue-eyed, tan and built because nobody knew, even Carl, that I was doing gym work-outs. Besides, all of my relatives died and there was only me. My dad left me the mansion, and hell there weren't any maids, and I was the only person who lived there to make decisions. And then I remembered Carl. 

Carl is my best friend [the only friend] in the whole world. Same as me, he doesn't have parents and his other relatives don't want him. I remember the day we met at some coffee shop, where we knew each other well. Carl was 5"9, green-eyed football player. I decided to give him half of the mansion. He lived there and we became friends. I was the person who made him go to college because I can see that he has a future to become a good writer. 

[and then we stop by the present...]

I was still staring at him. He noticed that stare and we dropped off our crib. We raced to the master's bedroom and we drank some beer from the fridge.I'm not a big fan of beer but we drank.

Everytime we drink beer we ask questions to each other like "Have you ever fucked a teacher?" or "When did you start masturbating?" But this time it lead to something more than good friendship.

I like Carl a lot. Not just because he looks good. But he protects me from other people who pick on me; I was once ashamed that he took the punches of my classmates when they tried to hit me at tne toolshed of the school. All I could do was to thank him for blowing the guys away.

"It's okay..." he always says when I'm depressed and then I started to fall in love with him. "Thanks," and I would hold his hands like we were married or something but it didn't matter to him. "Don't cry..." he says and I'm falling more in love with him... what the??? I just realized that we were friends and I don't want to ruin it. 

{back to present}

"Do you like me?" he asked, it was his turn to ask the question.

"No, do you like me like me?" then I started fidgeting.

Why did he ask that question anyway?

Then he leaned forward and suddenly ....

HE 

KISSED 

ME.

What the? WHat was he thinking? Does he feel the same way I have felt for him since I met Carl? I don't know, but he pushed me down the bed... and he went on top of me and kissed me in my neck, my forehead. I couldn't resist. I pushed his head closer to mine and I let his tongue meet with my mouth. SUddenly I felt his hands going all over my thighs... and then he brok the kiss.

"I love you,Travis. I loved you since the day we first met but I don't think you'd be happy with that. Please... Travis... please forgive me..."

"Carl, I know that... I love you too."
