I pulled away from Caesar. That was about the best 2 minutes of my life. Caesar, well Caesar's amazing. Just then Justin and Zoë walked up to me.
"Lance I think it's time we leave."
"Already? But we just got here."
"Why don't we go out some more?" Caesar suggested. I liked that idea.
"Sure."
"Fine, but get out of here before someone sees you with him."
"OK." We quickly departed without anyone noticing.
"Man now we're going to have a gay parade with us." Justin said as I left.
"Justin."
"Hey where's Lance?" Mallory asked suspiciously.
"Lance? He left about three hours ago."
"But I swore I just saw him with some guy."
"You must be mistaken Lance hasn't been here for a while."
"Oh well are you guys ready to leave?"
"Yeah."

ðððLater that nightððð

They were all gathered in the hotel. I still hadn't returned yet.
"I have a question." Mallory spoke up.
"What's that sweets?"
"Did anyone else see Lance kissing that guy tonight?" Everyone just stared at her.
"Mal, that's awfully mean to say stuff about my friends like that." JC was offended.
"But, I saw it."
"You don't go around saying things like my best friend is gay."
"But, sweetie. He was in a full fledged make out session."
"Hold up. Let me get this straight. You saw Lance making out with some guy and you think he's gay now?"
"Uh huh."
"Get out!"
"I'm serious."
"No, I mean get out!" He pointed to the door. "You can insult me and push me around, but when you start spreading stuff about my friends. That's where I draw the line."
"You should have drawn it sooner." Chris said.
"But..."
"Mal, I think it's time you leave." She looked around at everyone before storming out of the room and running straight into me.
"Watch where you're going!" I was still a little spacey from my time with Caesar. I was kinda dazed.
"What's your problem?"
"I just want you to know. I know about you."
"Huh?"
"I know you're gay. You're just lucky no one else believed me. I have to go pack now, cause of you I got dumped. Go on and parade around like a lunitic I don't care. I just hope the whole world finds out about you. In fact I just might tell them myself. The only thing good to come out of my torturous relationship with JC."
"Mallory, if didn't like him why were you with him?"
"See, I had this whole plan. I was gonna marry him then I was gonna kill him and keep all the money to myself. Then blame the murder on you four and then I would be rich and you would be out of my life. Unfortunately it didn't happen. I'll see you around Lancey." She walked down the hall after scaring the bejeezers out of me. I never knew she could be so cruel. She's creepy. I walked into my room and sat down on my bed I was just about to call Caesar. I spent the whole night with him and I missed him already. Unfortuately Justin and Zoë decided to drop by.
"Hey."
"Hello." I picked up my phone.
"I see you got over Kyle."
"Huh?" I began to dial Caesar's number.
"Well that guy you were, you know, doing?" I immediatly dropped the phone.
"You saw that?"
"Yeah, what were you thinking!?" Justin yelled at me.
"I don't know, I was just kinda caught up in the moment."
"So who is he?" Zoë asked crossing her arms.
"His name is Caesar and I met him when Kyle stood me up."
"Caesar, does Caesar know that you're not gay?"
"But I am."
"No you're not."
"I think I would know if I am or not."
"So was he good?" What was she asking me this for.
"Huh?"
"Was he good?"
"I don't know he was different. I've never kissed a guy before."
"Good different. Better than me?"
"I've never kissed you before." She walked up to me and to my surprise she kissed me.
"Better than me?"
"Justin is right there."
"I don't care, continue, better than her?"
"I don't know, it's hard to say. What is the point to all of this?"
"There isn't one."
"Then why are you freaking me out?"
"Uh nevermind!" She walked out of the room.
"Lance, you suck!"
"Why?" I was confused.
"Zo comes here and you're stupid. Can't you see how hot she is?"
"She is a very nice looking lady, but I don't look at the ladies."
"So you're saying Zo, doesn't turn you on at all."
"Basically no."
"Dangit. Gotta get another plan." He mumbled leaving the room.
"That was strange." I picked up the phone once again. "Time to call Caesar." I dialed his number.
"Hello."
"Hi."
"I really miss you."
"I miss you too, is it too late to get together tonight."
"Not by my watch." JC walked in and patiently waited for me to get off the phone, but I couldn't wait I needed to find out what he was doing there.
"Can you hold on for a second?" I pulled the phone away. "Can I help you?"
"Yeah." He sat down on my bed. "It's Mal, she's gone." He almost started to cry.
"I'm sorry."
"Go ahead finish talking to your friend."
"OK." I put the phone back to my ear. "I'm back."
"So where do you want to go?"
"I don't know." I was trying to put all my effort into this conversation, but I couldn't get my attention off of JC at the end of my bed.
"We could go back to Harley's Club?" He suggested. I wasn't paying attention. I wanted to hold JC tell him everything will be all right. "Lance?"
"Yeah huh?"
"Is that OK?"
"Why don't you run that idea by me one more time?"
"Is this a bad time?"
"Kinda."
"Just call me back when you can talk."
"OK, bye."
"Bye." I hung up the phone.
"What's up?" I got up and walked around.
"I miss her."
"Already?"
"It's been a long time."
"What did she do that made you get rid of her?"
"She said she saw you making out with some guy at the club."
"That's crazy." It wasn't that crazy cause it was true, but still.
"I know, I said she couldn't say that about my friends and that she should leave, but I wish I hadn't."
"No, that was the best thing. She was a devil."
"But she was my devil. She was my gal pal Mal." He walked up to me and put his head on my shoulder and cried. "I'll never be able to say that again."
"There, there." I patted his back.
"I should call her."
"No, no, no. You can't do that."
"Why not?"
"Cause then she'll come back."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"No, no, no. Cause you don't know what she would do if she came back."
"What would she do?"
"Um... she would." I couldn't really tell him then he wouldn't believe me. "She would be here."
"I would be happy."
"Well, why don't you just try to be unhappy a little bit longer and see if you like that."
"But I don't."
"Just a little bit."
"OK, a couple of days. Thank you Lance." He gave me a huge hug. I tried not to get too excited.
"No problem." I chuckled nervously. "I gotta call my friend back now."
"You hooked up tonight didn't ya?"
"Yes, in a way."
"At least one of us is happy." He sat down on my bed.
"Ummm?"
"Oh you don't mind if I stay here do you?"
"No of course not." I picked up the phone again and called Caesar.
"Hello." It was a woman.
"Hi, is Caes..." I looked over at JC who was watching me. "Caesarea there?"
"This is her." What? There's a Caesarea?
"Anyone else?"
"Um my brother Caesar is here."
"That's good."
"OK, hold on."
"Hello."
"Hi, it's me."
"I know, so everything OK, with whatever is going on there?" It's so nice that he cares.
"Yeah everything is great."
"So about tonight?"
"What did you have in mind?"
"I thought we could meet back at Harley's Club."
"That sounds great."
"Hey, hey, hey." JC was waving his arms at me trying to get my attention.
"Yeah." I put my hand over the reciever.
"Can I go wherever you're going too?"
"You wanna go?"
"Yeah, it'll get my mind off of Mallory and I won't get in the way of you and your girl."
"Sure, why don't you go get ready." I couldn't say no to that face.
"OK." He ran out of the room.
"Caesar you still there?"
"Just waiting for you."
"Change of plans."
"What's going on?"
"We have to go a non-gay club and bring Caesarea."
"Why?"
"Cause my straight friend wants to hoard in on our rendevous and he doesn't know I'm gay so I'll pretend to break up with Caesarea and then she can entertain him and you and me can sneak out to Harley's Club."
"OK, fine I'll do it. Then you'll have to give me more details on what's going on."
"I will, just make sure Caesarea knows."
"OK so we'll meet you at Hydraulics."
"OK, I'll see you then."
"Can't wait."
"Me neither."
"Bye."
"Bye." I hung up the phone. "Come on JC let's go!" I was excited I couldn't wait any longer to see Caesar.
"I'm coming."
"She's a bringing a friend for you."
"Really?"
"She said her friend was bored so she'll bring her."
"What are we waiting for? Come on!"

ðððððð

JC and I arrived early and waited for Caesar. It was about 15 minutes later that I saw Caesar walk in with a girl.
"Look, there she is." We walked over to them. I was taken aback by Caesarea. She was gorgeous. "JC this is Caesarea and Caesarea this is JC."
"Wow." He was amazed too.
"This is my friend Caesar." I shook his hand even though I wanted to do so much more.
"Lance, can I talk to you?" JC said.
"Sure." We stepped a few steps away from them.
"Um, your chick brought me a guy." I looked once again in their direction.
"Why yes she did."
"I'm not doing that."
"Then don't, maybe she didn't bring him for you maybe she just brought him because... she wanted to."
"OK, you didn't tell me she was so hot."
"I guess it slipped my mind."
"Lance." She walked up to us interrupting our conversation. "Come on." She was a really good actor. I looked at JC, he raised his eyebrows in a 'go get em tiger' manner. I took her hand and we quickly disappeared.
"Thank you so much for doing this."
"Well, it's been a long time since Caesar has been this excited about a guy and he wants to do anything to keep you."
"Really?"
"Oh yeah, when he got home he could not stop talking about the guy he met. I'm happy for him actually. Ever since Greg, he hasn't been the same, but I won't get into that."
"So how many years apart are you two?" Tried to get off the subject I could tell she didn't want to talk about it.
"We're twins."
"Wow, you really don't look it."
"Yeah he was given the looks."
"If you go for that kind of thing."
"So what's up with your friend?"
"JC? He's just little emotional he broke up with his girlfriend tonight. I've wanted him to do it for such a long time she was really starting to get on my nerves."
"Really? Or did you just really like him?"
"You know me too well already."
"It's a gift, I don't blame you, the physical thing ain't that bad to look at if I do say so myself."
"I wouldn't think of such a thing, anymore."
"You better not, not all the good guys could turn gay. That would just be my bad luck. So how long do you wanna keep this masquerade up? Cause I want a shot at him."
"You'll get your shot, a couple more dances I'll go get you something to drink, Caesar will come with me and you two will be sitting there and you can make your move."
"Then you and Caesar will sneak out."
"Exactly."

ðððHalf an hour laterððð

We were all sitting around together things were going well, although JC didn't seem too interested in Caesar, but oh well.
"I'm gonna get something to drink." I said on cue.
"Let me come with you." Caesar stood up it was almost if we rehearsed it. I winked to Caesarea but I had a feeling she knew what she had to do. The two of us disappeared.
"So." She made conversation.
"So." He replied.
"Lance is a really great guy."
"Yeah I know."
"Um, anyway since we're both just sitting here, do you wanna?" She pointed towards the dance floor.
"No, I couldn't."
"Why not?"
"Well, first you're with Lance and second I'm not quite over..." He trailed off.
"If it's that girl, don't worry Lance has told me all about her and it's time you got over her."
"Maybe you're right."
"Of course I'm right." She pulled him up and they evaporated into the crowd of people

ðððððð

I awoke the next morning bright an early. I stretched out my arms and yawned. I noticed Caesar still asleep on the couch. He was so cute when he was asleep, but I had to get him out of here. I rolled out of bed and approached his sleeping form. I sat on the couch next to him and picked up his hand.
"Caesar." I said barley above a whisper. He stirred a little but not enough to wake himself up. "Caesar." I said louder. His eyes fluttered open.
"Oh hey, good morning." He sat up.
"You gotta get out of here."
"Sure make me feel welcome."
"I don't want anyone to catch you."
"OK." He got off the couch and headed for the door. I followed him. "I guess I don't know when I will see you again, but call me."
"Sure thing." He gave me a quick goodbye kiss and he was gone and I was safe for now. "I want something to drink." I went down to JC's room I knew he always had the orange juice. I walked in and was startled by what I saw.
"Oh hey Lance."
"Caesarea?" There she stood pouring a glass of orange juice wearing JC's clothes.
