CHAPTER 14!

It was a long day for Adam and Elvis as they have been following up with Steve’s case. Adam was seriously worried about Elvis so he insisted on him spending the night at his place. He wouldn’t want the culprits to follow Steve back home and meet Elvis. He was really worried so he insisted even though Elvis didn’t like the idea. “I am honestly not feeling good about this Adam, this thing between us is still hidden; I wouldn’t want to take chances with Eunice finding out.” Elvis complained looking extremely worried.

Adam smiled as he continued driving. “You know I wouldn’t suggest this if not for the situation. You don’t have to be paranoid, Eunice has been staying with mom for the past two weeks and I am sure she won’t come today, so chill and enjoy the night boy. Besides we can always use work as an excuse.” He said looking at him. Elvis took a deep breath. “Why are you smirking Adam?” He asked giving him a suspicious look. Adam smiled back as he speeds up the car. “Well, I just can’t wait to take you to my bed and do some bad things to you.” He said and they both laughed.

The house is very enormous and flashy, very organized for a single man. Elvis was mesmerized with Adam’s taste of furniture and decorations. He was staring around the enormous sitting room with admiration when Adam walked towards him with a glass of water. “Make yourself comfortable, this is your house also.” He whispered in Elvis’s ears. Elvis smiled as he collected the glass and take a sip. “Why are you trying so hard to be a pervert?” He asked rhetorically as he sat on the couch. He jumped and sat beside him as he grabbed him by the waste. “Well, I got to enjoy every moment I have today, moments like this don’t swing by every day.” He said as he gives him a peck. “Come on; let me show you around the house.” Adam said as he grabbed Elvis’s hands and showed him round the house. They were sitting on the couch and deliberating what to order for dinner when they heard a car parking in the compound. Adam quickly peeped through the window and surprisingly, it was his mother’s car. He started sweating profusely as he wears back his shirt. “Oh my God, what will they be possibly doing here?” He kept on asking himself as they arrange themselves to avoid being suspected.

They were both looking paranoid when Adam’s mom walked into the apartment with Eunice walking behind her. They were also surprised to see Elvis in the apartment especially Eunice who couldn’t hide her smile at the same time giving them a suspicious look. As if her mother read her thought, she stared at Adam for a while. “What is going on here?” She asked. Adam welcomed them and quickly turned to Elvis who was already holding his laptop bag as if he was about leaving. “Let me drop you off, and don’t forget to work on those files.” He said looking at him. His mother insisted Elvis joining them for dinner since he stayed late working. The dinner was very quiet except for the mother who tried to engage Elvis in a conversation, while for Eunice; she was all over the moon staring at him, she couldn’t even get a hold of her meal. Adam tried as best as he could to keep the atmosphere more official. He tried so hard to resist himself from staring and lusting over Elvis’s lips as he chews his food slowly.

After the long quiet dinner, he drove Elvis back to the hostel; the drive was also quiet as they were both having a lot running through their minds, especially Elvis who is rethinking the situation of being in the middle of siblings. Adam grabbed his hands as he packed the car around the hostel. “I know what you are thinking Elvis, but I assure you that I will find a way to make our relationship open to everyone. I don’t want you to think much about Eunice.” He aid looking at him. Elvis sighed deeply as he slowly pushed back Adam’s hands. “There will be a session break immediately after the internship, I will be travelling back home.” He said with a cold voice. Adam was startled, he is sure that Elvis is worried about the situation but he is trying so hard to calm down the boy. “That will be a long break Elvis, how would I survive without you?” He asked looking worried. Elvis giggled with a little smile. “I have a family to get back to, and I honestly need some time to think about this whole relationship. I hate the feeling I am having Adam.” He said as he slowly pushed the car and head out.

Adam was trying to call him back but Elvis whose heart was filled with guilt couldn’t wait back. He walked really fast into the hostel so Adam couldn’t catch up with him. Adam sat in the car and sighed deeply as he holds his head in between his palms for a while. His fear isn’t his family finding about his sexuality, his greatest fear is losing Elvis and he would do whatever in his power to avoid that. He sighed again as he drove the car away with a junked heart filled with fear. He kept on wandering around the city without an intended destination, his eyes were soaked and blurry from the drink he has been taking which is obviously taking his sanity. With a drunken face, he drove slowly back to his office as that is the only safe space remaining for him.

Adam couldn’t differentiate whether he was hallucination or being real but he was sure that he met someone in the company who was still working late. He staggered as he walked in. the person rushed and grabbed him while he was about falling. Adam holds the person tightly and stared for a while before he started talking. “Don’t leave me Elvis, promise me you will stay. I cannot survive this if you leave, I promise to make things right, I promise to settle the thing between us but please, hang on with me and stay by my side for a while.” He said with tears as he grabbed the person’s lips and kissed passionately. Cleo was confused as she also kissed him back; they were both engrossed in the kiss while Adam continued further. He undressed her and they had sex right there on the couch. It was rough and long because Adam was drunk and he kept on mentioning Elvis’s name throughout their act while Cleo kept on indulging him.

The rays of sunshine piercing through the window which landed directly on his face and the intensity of a striking headache made him slowly opened his eyes. He was numb for a while as he was trying to get accustomed to the location. He slowly turned beside him as he screamed and jumped off the couch seeing Cleo sleeping half naked beside him. He was startled her as she also wakes up. “Oh, you are up?” She asked staring at him while he was rushing to get dressed. “What have you don Cleo? You have taken advantage of me Cleo, why are you this selfish? You are fully aware of the situation I am right now, why do want to create another fire between us?” He stammered looking pitiful.

Cleo giggled as she stepped a bit closer to him. “Selfish? Did you just call me selfish? I thought we are allowed to be selfish as long as it would end in our favors and protect our interests? Or do you think that rule applied to only you?” She asked with a wicked smile on her face as she pointed at him. He was about speaking but she interrupted him quickly. “Don’t even dare play the victim’s card here. This is entirely your fault Adam. All these wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t decide to stick your dick to a forbidden fruit. And of course, I learnt being selfish from you so you have no right to judge me on that.” She yelled again. He stared speechless with a sealed mouth at her.

Tears were scrolling down his face as he stammered. “You knew I was drunk Cleo, you knew I will never do that with you. You were supposed to be my friend, someone that could help ease my situation not adding to the burning fire.” He said with teary eyes. She hissed again as she also got dressed. “Oh please Adam. Don’t blame me; I wasn’t the drunken person that was throwing myself out. At your state last night, would have done this with any person around you even if it wasn’t me.” She said as she moved closer and picked an envelope on the table.

She sighed deeply before handing the envelope to him. “That is my resignation letter. You shouldn’t worry about this little incidence; you know your secrets are always safe with me.” She said as she picked up her bag and walked out with a smirk on her face. She slowly turned as she reached the door. “Bear in mind that whatever this thing that happened between us yielded to, you are taking full responsibilities because I have full evidence in HD quality.” She said staring at him as she banged the door behind her and walked away. Adam was short of breath, he was panting as he almost collapsed when he heard Cleo’s statement. That was when he realized that his life is in a mess. Why are all these happening to him? Why now when he finally found the happiness he has been craving. He kept on asking himself as he cried and rolled on the ground.…

ONE WEEK LATER…

Adam has been living in fear since his incidence with Cleo, and with Elvis’s sudden closeness, his mind couldn’t be at ease. He is afraid that Cleo will leak their secret to Elvis; he wouldn’t want that because Elvis is back and willing to be with him. He is willing to be selfish for their love and he is willing to prioritize their relationship before other people’s choice…

What is more exciting than finding love when you least expect it and from the person you never imagined to have. Elvis has never experienced a healthy relationship in his life, this being his first time, he could swear on his life that it’s his best. Even though he come across a lot of critic everyday about a relationship like his, he is so certain that he isn’t going to give up. Love is all about finding peace and happiness and he is so comfortable as he finds those and even more in Adam. He could swear that he has never been happier in his life. Adam loves him so much that he provided responds to even the least of his needs. What else could one ask for in a relationship apart from a caring partner? Well, he is already lucky to have Adam and he wouldn’t want anyone or anything comes between them.

Adam was concentrating on his system and sorting out work when Elvis walked into the office. He walked majestically as he dropped some files on Adam’s table. “Are you sure you don’t want to hire a new assistant? You can’t do all the work alone without Cleo and you are aware that my internship is ending in a week right?” He asked as he sat by the edge of the table and faced Adam. Adam smiled as he slowly stood up and moved closer to Elvis, he wrapped his arms around his waist and kissed him for a while. “I am surely aware. But you know I wouldn’t let you go even after your internship right?” He asked back as he kissed him again. Elvis groaned and as he was about speaking, Adam interrupted him. “That aside, I have a surprise for you.” He said as he walked to the mini drawer beside the table and picked some pieces of cards.

He walked back to Elvis who was still on the table and staring eagerly at the cards. “Vacation tickets?” He asked excitedly as Adam handed him the tickets. Adam smiled as he moved closer and pecked him on the cheese again. “Yes, you deserve a premium rest after such a great performance.” He said looking at him with a smile. Elvis was about thanking him when he interrupted him again. “You shouldn’t appreciate me for this Elvis. I should be appreciating you for bringing light into my life when I least expect it. You shined my life and made so colorful and I will be forever grateful for you. I will love and cherish you with all I have Elvis. I will take care of you with all my ability and I will adore you till the end of time.” Adam said with a smile as he slowly moved closer and places a deep kiss passionate on Elvis’s lips…
