Taken Chances

Ch. 4 So I Die Happy

He finished shaving and washed his face off. He stepped out of the bathroom and heard Tony laughing. He smiled to himself and went in his room. He threw on his favorite obscene bear boxers and a pair of pants in lightning speed. He wanted his new shirt and remembered his bags were in the kitchen still. He stepped out into the hallway and passed Billy going to the bathroom. “Hey man. What are you so happy about?” Billy asked. Joel shook his head and laughed as Billy went in the bathroom. He stepped out into the living room still smiling and Matt laughed, “Hey you sexy bitch.” Joel laughed and grinned as he went to his bags and pulled out his new black shirt. He slipped it over his head and went to the fridge. He pulled out and apple and took a big bite as he walked over to where the other guys were sitting playing Playstation 2.

He plopped on the couch still grinning. Benji looked over and laughed, “Dude why are you so happy?” Joel shook his head, “Nothing.” Tony laughed, “I think he got some ass.” Still grinning like an idiot he looked at Tony, “You could say that.” Tony smiled back and Paul nudged Joel, “Nice.” Joel nodded his head and jumped as he felt his cell phone vibrate/ring in his pocket. He pulled it out and pressed talk, “Yo!” It was Audrey saying she was coming over to drop off Joel’s hat. He said all right and hung up as Matt asked if he wanted to play PS2. Joel said no and said he was going to get the mail.

Joel jumped down the steps in the front of the house- still going on a natural high from Tony’s kiss. He slowly walked the short distance to the mailboxes and got their mail. He walked back to the house and waited in the driveway a minute for Audrey. She pulled up and smiled at him. “Hey Joel. Here’s your hat.” Joel smiled, “Thanx Audrey,” and he leaned in her window to kiss her. She smiled, “You’re happy- that’s good you seemed sad earlier. What’s up? We didn’t exactly talk before,” she smiled. Joel nodded, “Yeah sorry about that. Want to go for a walk? I wanna tell you some stuff.” Audrey smiled, “Sure I don’t have to be at work for another hour.” She got out of the car and Joel smiled leading her to the little park bench area at the end of their street.

“So now what are you so excited about? I wanna know,” she smiled as she sat down.

Joel grinned and sighed, “Well first I wanted to thank you for letting me……..”

Audrey smiled, “It’s cool Hun. I think it’s good to have…….. someone like you. Just for the………” she laughed.

Joel laughed, “Yeah. Well I just wanted to make sure that you were still okay with it. And if you ever wanna quit or don’t want to I’ll understand.”

She smiled and nodded her head, “Same here. But come on tell me- what is making you so happy?”

Joel blushed and grinned once again, “You remember Tony?”

Audrey raised her eyebrows, “Yeah, did something happen?”

Joel grinned and nodded exuberantly. Joel had told Audrey about his attachment to Tony. She knew that he was bi and that he wanted Tony. Joel smiled, “Yeah last night I had to see Benji and him in the living room and so when I woke up this morning I went in the bathroom thinking it was Benji taking a shower in there but it wasn’t. Tony was in there and oh my god he looked so good. So that’s when I came over this morning. So when I got home from your place, he was still here but Benji had gone out so it was Tony and Billy here.” He smiled out of breath and continued, “So I get in the shower right and I was thinking about you… and I got turned on. So I heard someone come in- cuz ya know we only got the one bathroom- and so I looked out and it was Tony. And so I just went back to thinking about him and showering and when I got done I couldn’t find a towel so I looked out in the bathroom and there he was just sitting there. And I didn’t know what to do cuz I was still very turned on so he tossed me a towel and I tried to cover up as I got out of the shower and he was still sitting there. So I shaved,” he said stroking his face and smiling taking a breath, “and he was sitting there and we sort of talked. Then I said something about you and then Benji and I don’t know what happened but he kissed me.”

Audrey clapped, “Ooh go Joelsy!”

Joel beamed, “I know it was wonderful!”

Audrey smiled and hugged Joel, “I'm happy for you. So what do you think will happen next?”

Joel shrugged, “I don’t know- but I don’t think he would kiss me for no reason.”

Audrey lowered her voice, “Would you sleep with him?” Joel blushed and turned away laughing. “Oh come on, you can tell me- I'm your benefits buddy,” Audrey laughed.

Joel looked at her and beamed, “Yeah, I would.”

They laughed and Audrey smiled, “And if you ever wanna three, Call me!”

Joel nodded and laughed, “Don’t know if I would share you two.”

She smiled, “Well you know where I am.”

Joel nodded, “Yeah and I really am happy I have you- you understand me. Thanx Audrey.” She smiled and hugged Joel again.

They walked back to the house and Audrey smiled, “Well honey I'm happy for you and call me and tell me how it works out.” Joel agreed and walked back into the house still smiling. “Your legs are smooth as they graze mine we're doing fine we're doing nothing at all. My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me,” he sang at the top of his lungs and looked at Tony for the last part, “So won't you kill me, so I die happy.” The rest of the guys just laughed and Benji threw a chip at Joel’s head. Joel laughed and sat back down. Tony smiled and looked around as he asked, “So where are we going tonight?” Benji shrugged, “How about that new club?” They all agreed and got ready to go out- which only took a second.

Benji, Joel, and Paul went in one car and Tony, Matt, and Billy went in the other. They met at McDonalds then went on to the club. They got to the club and listened to the band playing. Like always Benji got wasted and when it was time to leave they all went to the parking lot. “Joel, why don’t you come with me?” Tony smiled. Joel grinned and nodded his head then went to tell Paul. “Paul, are you going home? Can you take Benji home? If you need to take my car back to your place and we’ll get it tomorrow.” Paul agreed and Joel climbed in the seat next to Tony in his Cadillac and they dropped the other guys off first before heading back to Tony’s apartment.
