Challenge - McDonald's

"I'll be back Kelly. I'm stopping at McDonalds."

"Now Joey?"

"Yeah...I'm hungary. I'll only be 10 minutes. You know how close it is to us."

"Ok."

"Bye."

But Joey wasn't going to McDonalds. In fact he wasn't even going in the direction of the McDonalds. He was going to see his lover Chris. Every time he told Kelly he was going to McDonalds, he went to Chris's.

Joey pulled into the driveway and his heart melted at the sight of Chris. He was cutting the grass.

Joey crept up behind him and wrapped his arms around Chris's waist. His lips kissed the sweaty skin on Chris's neck.

"Hey baby."

"I was wondering when you would get here."

"What can I say, I can't keep away."

Chris turned around and wrapped his arms around Joey's neck.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah. It's a good thing I'm a little chunky around the middle or Kelly would get suspicious."

The mention of the girls name made Chris turn away.

"Chris? What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

"No...Tell me."

"Are you ashamed of being with me? Is that why you lie to Kelly?"

"No...I'm just trying to be careful. What if someone from the press finds out?"

"So you are ashamed to be with me."

Chris pulled away and walked back towards the house.

"Chris...Chris wait."

Joey grabbed Chris's shoulder and turned him around. Joey was stunned to see tears running down Chris's face.

"Chris...Baby..."

"No...Don't. I love you. Alright. I do. And I can't be with someone who doesn't want to be seen with me. I can't be with someone who is hiding who they are."

"Chris..."

"Go back to Kelly. It's where you want to be anyway."

Joey grabbed Chris and slammed him into the wall. Joey's lips crashed down on Chris's in a kiss of desperation and love.

"I don't want to be with her. I want to be with you and ONLY you."

Chris began to cry again at Joey's words.

"I love you Joey."

Joey smiled.

"I love you too."

Joey grabbed Chris's hand and led him into the house.

Kelly was begining to worry. Joey had been gone almost an hour. She picked up the phone and called Justin.

"Justin...It's Kelly."

"Hey Kell. What's up?"

"Have you seen Joey? He said he was going to McDonalds and that was an hour ago."

"Well, I just drove by Chris's house and I saw Joey's car there."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks Just."

Kelly hung up with Justin

"What is he doing over at Chris's"

Kelly pulled into Chris's driveway next to Joey's car.

"Yep...That's Joey's car alright."

She got out and walked to the front door. It was open and she walked in.

"Chris...Jo..."

She walked in of Chris and Joey kissing on Chris's living room couch.

"WHAT IS GOING ON!!!" Kelly screamed causing the two to jump apart.

"Kelly?"

"What is going on? Chris...You keep your hands off of him....He's MINE."

"No Kelly...That's where your wrong."

"What do you mean Joey?"

"I'm not yours anymore. I haven't been for a long time. I love Chris. Not you."

Kelly reached out and slapped Joey before she ran out. Her tires squeeling could be hear as she pulled out of the driveway.

"You didn't have to do that Joey."

Joey took Chris's hand and laced it with his.

"Yes I did. I don't ever want you to think that I don't want to be with you or that I am ashamed to be with you."

Joey pulled Chris into his arms.

"I like this."

"Me too. I'm going to need a place to stay now."

"You can stay here under one condition."

"What's that?"

"No trips to McDonalds."

Joey laughed and pulled Chris close for a kiss.
