Chapter 34 - Words

Leon looked at his phone nervously, it was Friday, 9:30 pm and he already arrived at Doble Sense, he did not think he would return to work in that place, it was an exclusive nightclub full of wealthy clients, it has the best private rooms in the whole city if not the whole country. 

He had sex with Numa in one of those as he still knew him as Saz, the dancer. He smiled amused. Numa, who would have thought, he would become such a big part in his life. Of course he was very happy to have met him, but not happy enough to want to keep him as a friend at the expense of his own feelings.

He looked curiously at the black door of the nightclub, he turned his gaze towards the cars that were parked in line, he looked for one of the windows to see his reflection. He was wearing dress pants and a light pink shirt, so fashionable at that time, without a tie. He didn't want to look like a wedding cake doll. It looked good on him and he was happy with his own reflection, although he had to admit that outside the car it was freezing cold, but he didn't want to wear a sweater and ruin the outfit. 

Still 10 minutes to 10 pm, in the distance he distinguished the figure of a young man he knew and his heart skipped a beat, it was Numa and luckily, he was alone. He was wearing jeans and a red turtleneck pullover, he was looking so hot. He greeted him with a nod of his head and signaled him to enter. The guy at the entrance greeted Numa and opened the door with a smile.

"Hey, you don't say hello anymore," Leon asked in a joking tone.

Numa looked at him in surprise.

"The truth is that I don't know how to behave around you anymore. I don't know how far I can go," he remarked with a familiar tone.

They sat at the bar facing each other.

"Thank you for the job."

"It's nothing,."

"And how's the courtship" the question has been burning hs tongue since he has seen him.

Numa looked a little embarrassed.

"Very well, I'm with..."

"Lucas" Leon completed the sentence 

"I..."

"You don't need to say anything, I don't want to feel like a child throwing a tantrum at the end, still don't understand what you saw in him…," he interrupted himself.

"Might be boring for you, I just like it. It's quiet and maybe that's also what I need."

"If you say so, I'm sure you'll sleep very well with him."

Numa looked at him strangely.

"Because I don't think you'll do anything else" added Leon amused, in a childish way.

Numa looked at him offended.

"Don't overdo it, just because he's so quiet doesn't mean anything, Leon."

That attitude was bothering him. At that moment, a tall dark-haired man with a broad back and a serious look approached. 

He greeted them both and after apologizing to Numa, invited Leon to a private interview at the other end of the bar. Numa sat there and his eyes wandered to the center of the dance floor, where a stage had once been set up and where he danced with Zeus. But he didn't feel like it anymore, he has been called for a performance the next day but he lost the desire to dance. He enjoyed dancing but he no longer had a partner and besides that, the choreographies were Zeus' ideas, he was the creative mind behind the show, Numa only followed his instructions. 

His eyes began to water as he remember Zeus on the stage. He let out a sigh, it would not be so easy to find a job on weekends that would allow him to earn so well and only spend a total of 4 hours of his time. The music began to play in the place, it was a particular view, the empty dance floor only illuminated by some of the spotlights, which drew figures on the floor, while the music played softly invading the space.

The tingling sound of ice cubes brought him back to the reality. Someone was holding a glass in front of his face. He looked up and met Leon's smile, a wide and bright smile.

"Thank you," 

he murmured and before Numa could react, he gave him a fleeting kiss, just a brush of his lips.

"Hey... what?"

"I know, I know...don't be angry, but the temptation was just too great."

"When do you start?" asked Numa as he took the drink Leon offered him.

"Right now. As soon as they open I will be at the bar with the other guy, he will be in charge of showing me the most important things, then I have to come during the week for further training. Although the important day is today, since the other guy will give be one deciding whether I am suitable for the job or not.

"I'm sure you'll make it, it's the perfect for you."

"And you?" asked Leon, "aren't you going to dance again? I'm sorry, I didn't tell you anything but I'm really sorry. Do you want to talk about it?"

"Thank you for asking. No, I don't want to talk about and I don't want to dance again, I don't have anyone to dance with."

"if I don't get the job, you train me and we'll dance together"

"I'm sorry but I don't think it would work."

"So you don't trust my skills, too bad," answered Leon pretending to be offended.

Numa shook his head, laughing. 

Leon was simply charming. If only he and Lucas understood each other, it would be great.

"Hey sweetheart, are you happy? You know, with the mummy."

Numa looked at him surprised, Leon was looking at him sweetly and the question alone made his colors rise.

"Yes, very much."

"That's the most important thing," he smiled, sweetly.

Numa answered him in the same way.

"And how are things going with your parents?"

"It could be worse, NEVER better. My mother calls me quite often but I'm not allowed to go over to visit her and she is not allowed to visit me either. What pisses me off is, my mother being so weak, following everything my father says. As if she's afraid, it's fucking bullshit."

Numa stared at the look on Leon's face, he looked really hurt. 

"Maybe, she needs time, and she will cheer up, I don't know what to tell you, surely you will find a way to see her again."

"If she doesn't come to see me, I'll go, even if I have to beat up my father, I don't care, the next time.... "

Numa kept silent, he didn't know that they had gone to such extreme with his father. In his case it was different, his father always defended him, he had the feeling he would always support him, no matter what he did.

"It seems you really hate your father..."

Leon turned his eyes to him.

"Of course I hate him, he's a son of a bitch who keeps preaching about good deeds and tolerance on TV, but it bothers him to death that his son is homosexual. Besides that, he has always treated my mother as if she was his maid, he has never taken her feelings into account and besides...."

He stopped a few seconds before continuing 

"…He's had other women for as long as I can remember."

Leon looked away as if he was fighting against his own feelings.

"You know, there was a time when I felt that way about my mother too."

"Your mother?" the answer surprised him

"She just didn't get along with me, I was always very rebellious, I liked to do things my own way, and my mother labeled me as a conflictive boy. "

"Wait, you? conflictive?"

"You didn't expect it, did you? Well yes, I was one at that time, at boarding school I was the worst, I had to change schools 3 times, school direction didn't like me, they said I was the devil himself."

"I don't believe it."

Numa smiled seeing him so amused, those things really hurt him even now, that's why he never talked about those times, but there he was with Leon telling him about his life, the trust he felt with him was unique, how could he achieve that? Make him talk about his things?

"It's funny, the only person I talked about this was Agustín."

Leon smiled at him.

"Truth is, I envy Lucas, you are a very special person. Lucky motherfucker"

"Don't say that ..." he faced him seriously "I can talk to you as if I've known you my whole life, and I am havinga hard time losing this connection. Why can't we be friends?"

Leon let out a sigh.

"I like you too much to stay by your side just as a friend, but that doesn't mean you can't talk to me anymore. If you need me, you can call me anytime. Whenever you need me, I'll be there, always."

"Numa, just one thing."

"What?"

"If you get in a fight with Lucas don't call me" he smiled mischievously "because then I'll take full advantage of the situation."

Numa laughed at Leon´s expression.

"Good to know"

"By the way, have you met Giovanni?," Leon asked curiously.

"His cousin? Yes, he introduced me to him last time, I don't like him."

"He's good in bed..."

"WHAT?!"

"Don't make that face, he's no better than you! We hooked up that time at the nightclub and then a couple of other times..."

"Are you dating?"

"He's not my type, he's a guy who likes sex and we just happen to share the same hobby, that's all," he winked at him.

"I see, he was very unfriendly to me."

"No wonder, after all, you are with Lucas and...."

"And... what?" asked Numa insistently.

"Well, you know..." Leon looked away.

"No, I don't know. You tell me, was there something between them?"

"I'll tell you, but don't say it was me: Giovanni was Lucas' first love."

Numa looked at him incredulously, that could not be true. His heart pounded in his chest, accelerating his breathing.

"It's not what you imagine, calm down, it was a couple of years ago in Italy. I don't know why they fought but that was the end. Actually, Giovanni told me something but I don't believe him, it sounds to me that it was way more serious. Now they don't have anything going on, so don't worry."

"How long were they together?"

"Approximately a year"

Numa let out a sigh, he has never been with someone for so long, he felt an uneasiness that could be defined as fear. Leon seemed to be reassuring him and he was grateful for it. What he didn't understand was why Lucas kept it from him.

"Numa, what was your longest lasting partner?"

"Me? I never had a partner, only sex, the longest was you."

Leon looked at him astonished.

"You never dated anyone?"

"No, never interested. I don't understand why Lucas didn't tell me."

"Maybe because he was afraid you'd be jealous or you'd tell him off or just because he's a brat" he raised hand in the air "I vote for the last one!'

 

People were starting to enter the place. Leon looked at him a bit worried, it was obvious that Numa has been thinking about it. The bar manager approached him and signaled it was time to get behind the counter.

Leon grabbed him by the shoulder to get his attention.

"Don't get your head screwed on. There's nothing to worry about."

Numa stood there watching as the place began to receive the first visitors who spread out along the bar and then invaded the dance floor. He took off his sweater and began to feel hot. He was worried, maybe it was better to go back, it wasn't worth staying there, maybe he could pay Lucas a last minute visit, maybe he hasn't gone to bed yet. A boy approached him to offer him a drink that he kindly refused, he began to talk to him but he was still lost in his thoughts. The boy was one of the insistent ones, a voice sounded from behind him.

"He is with me."

Numa looked up in surprise as Lucas stood in front of him. He didn't understand how or why. Nor what he was doing there. His eyes were serious, they had gone back to the bar. Again to the bar, but Leon has not noticed his presence.

"How?" Numa asked.

"I ran into Giovanni at home and he asked me if I was also going to the job interview".

Numa looked at him with confused

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought you would be mad at me."

Lucas looked down for a while before continuing to speak.

"So you don't trust me."

"Well, neither do you, right? Why didn't you tell me about Giovanni?"

Lucas seemed evidently surprised.

"Because it's something from the past, and it doesn't mean anything to me. Do you need more reasons?"

"But you are living together," answered Numa evidently angry, "because of that, you should have told me."

"Then we're in the same situation, you've been with that one too and now you're getting him a job and accompanying him to a place like this," Lucas objected.

"That one has a name and it's Leon. If I can call your cutie cousin by his name, you can call Leon by his name, don't you think? He's my friend, regardless of what has happened between us, and I'll help him in anyway I can"

"Even if it bothers me..." said Lucas.

"If it bothers you, it's your problem, not mine...."

"We are in the same boat"

"I don't call Giovanni that one. I don't like that derogatory tone."

Lucas nodded silently. He looked around. A couple of couples were dancing on the dance floor to the soft music. Leon approached to ask Lucas if he wanted something to drink but when he met those black eyes, he disappeared in the other direction to attend other customers. Numa stood up and started to walk towards the dance floor, Lucas closed in behind him.

"Where are you going?"

Numa stopped in his tracks.

"To the restroom. May I?"

Lucas shrugged and followed him. They walked across another dance floor to the restrooms. Numa entered one and Lucas waited outside leaning against the wall next to the door when he didn't hear any sound, he knocked.

"May I come in?"

Numa opened the door timidly, the space was quite small. The young man was leaning against the wall, with a strange expression on his face.

Lucas closed the door and stood in front of him a few inches from his mouth. He tried to kiss him but he turned his face away.

"When was the last time you were with Giovanni?"

The question took him by surprise.

"More than three years ago if I am not mistaken, Numa I will tell you the whole truth but there is nothing between us anymore, if any, then a relationship of mutual hatred"

"That time you were kissing, making out?"

Lucas closed his eyes as if taking a breath.

"I was drunk and he kissed me, I just responded but he doesn't mean anything to me, really."

He took the boy's face between his hands and applied soft kisses on his forehead and cheeks before moving down to his mouth and starting to kiss him. Numa wrapped his arms around his waist and let Lucas' tongue invade his mouth, slowly, and in an exciting way Lucas caressed those lips, biting them as he entangled his tongue with Numa's. 

He left Numa's mouth to run along the fine line from his lobe to his neck. He nibbled the skin where the Adam's apple, almost invisible on Numa. He felt the boy sigh, as he ran his tongue up and down his neck, concentrating where he felt Numa shudder. He slid one of his hands under his shirt to caress the skin of his chest, while he kissed him deeply again, letting his fingers catch those small nipples to pinch them, he felt Numa's moan, withdrew his hands and quickly took off his shirt and threw it on the floor. They had been kissing and caressing for a week and the excitement was growing. He ran his tongue over every inch of Numa's hairless chest, concentrating on his nipples, which he nibbled, Numa responded with a shudder. He pressed his hips against Numa's and the heat of his body seemed to burn him, he reached down with his hand to unzip his fastener quickly and let his hand slip down to rest on his sex. Numa let out a moan, as he pressed desperately against that hand, the contact was insufficient. 

"Put them down," Lucas murmured in his ear.

Numa quickly undid his pants, leaving his arousal open. Lucas wrapped his fingers around that sex and began to slowly press it down and up, running his fingers along it while he kissed Numa's lips and enjoyed his moans and his expression of pleasure.

He began to speed up the movement while with his other hand he touched his testicles and the rough skin at the entrance. He brought his fingers to his mouth and wet them generously and ran them along the tip of Numa's member. He heard him moan as his fingers squeezed him there hard enough to drive him crazy. The boy's eyes were half-open and he looked at him pleadingly as he again took those fingers into his mouth and repeated the operation only this time masturbating him with one hand while with the other he touched that tip moistening it, pressing it deliciously.

"Lu..... Lucas... please."

Lucas looked at him full of satisfaction.

"What?" he asked as he increased the rhythm of the other hand considerably.

The wet contact on the taut skin of the tip was driving him out of control. 

Lucas knelt down and began to lick that erection from base to tip and then put it in his mouth, the intimate aroma of the young man filled his senses, it was a fresh and unique smell that turned him on. He felt the moans of the young man, he knew he was close, he had excited him too much. He could not stand it much longer, he applied more pressure on the tip and the response was not long in coming...

"ahh... ahhhh don't stop, Lucas... I'm coming..

"It was very good."

Lucas kissed him back.

Numa tried to bend down towards his pants but Lucas didn't let him. Numa looked at him in surprise.

"I have another idea," he replied.

He pulled down his pants and underpants until his hips met Numa's. He grabbed Numa's hands and pulled them down. He grabbed Numa's hands with his own and placed them on top of his head, holding them firmly. Numa's erection had just begun to lower, he moved so that his sex was pressed against his partner, then he began to move, feeling the friction of his boyfriend's sex against his own, shuddering as he felt the skin tug each time his movements descended.

He felt Numa's sex stiffen under his friction, under his increasingly faster movement. He left one hand free holding Numa's hands with one hand, while with the other he touched both sexes wrapping both tips with pressure, he felt Numa's high pitched moan and the shuddering of his body. He buried his face in the young man's neck biting him as the orgasm overtook him, spilling into his stomach, a few seconds later Numa's shuddering and his hot liquid spilling out between them.

Numa slid down the wall and finally sat on the floor, breathing heavily.

Lucas had taken off his shirt and was wiping his own stomach with it. Seeing that Numa's eyes were still closed, he bent down and wiped it himself. Then he lowered the lid of the toilet and sat there, grabbed Numa's hand and encouraged him to get up and sit on top of him. 

The young man hid in Lucas' arms while Lucas stroked his hair and said nice things to him.

Numa closed his eyes and smiled as he thought "I like you so much Lu", and hugged Lucas tightly, feeling the happiest person in the world.
