Tales of a gay teenager
Chapter 2
Him: Diana, will you marry me?
My Mom froze for a moment, she calculated.
Mom: Gabriel, you didn't have to
Him: All I ask, is love from you
Mom: Aren't we already in love
Him: We are, but we can take it to another leaf, Diana will you marry me
Mom: Yes Gabriel, it's a yes.
He got up and put the 8- carat of gold in my mother's ring.
Me: Mom, what's going on, who is he?
Him: you must be the first born, Samuel..right?
Me: Who are you?
Him: Iam Gabriel, and judging by the way things are going, Iam your new father
Me: F*ck you!!
I ran up the stairs, and went to Keisha's room.
Mom: Samuel Gregory get up here! That is no way, to talk to someone older than you
I found Keisha laying on the bed, listening to music.
Me: (knocking) hey Keisha
Keisha: Hey bro, what happened?
Me: I can't deal with all of this right now
Keisha: What? You're scaring me. What's going on?
Me: Keisha, mom's getting married
Keisha: to who?
Me: I don't know him, but I miss Dad now
Keisha: Me too
(We went silent for a moment)
Me: What are you listening to?
Keisha: it's just some hard, metal rock
Me: Let me listen( I plugged in one ear)
Me: Whoah, doesn't this music destroy your ears
Keisha: They sound cool to me
Me: Dad would've said "No girl must listen to this type of music, blah blah blah"
( We both burst in laughter)
A few hours later, we freshened up and went down to dinner.
Mom: Oh you're finally came back to your senses, I believe you have something to say Samuel
Me: Okay, Iam sorry
Mom: sorry for?
Me: Iam sorry for lashing out like that
Him: it's fine, I forgive you. Sit down and enjoy your meal.
We sat down, Keisha sat infront of Mom, and I was facing him.
Him: I don't think I have formally Introduced myself, Iam Gabriel. Your mother's fiancè.
Keisha: Nice to meet you Gabriel
Gabriel: The pleasure is mine, young lady.
He gave Keisha a weird, jerky smile. Me and Keisha spent the whole dinner, playing and pretending to be happy family with the new guy, and finally they broke the news:
Mom: So, Me and Gabriel have decided that after our wedding which is a week from now, that we will move out with him to Navenwood.
Me and Keisha: What!
Gabriel: I just want what's best for all of you
I dismissed myself from the table and went to my room. I logged into my Facebook, Mark sent a message
"Hey, Sam. I hope you're okay, I just wanted to say Hi and I was hoping you could come over and we could binge watch Anime together"
I read his message with a disgusted look and turned off my phone.
Weeks later, June 16, 7:23AM. The day of the wedding. I woke up, did my daily morning routine and went downstairs. Everyone was already ready and busy packing up. As I was going to the kitchen, I spotted Gabriel looking at the event planner's @ss.
Gabriel: Good morning Sammy
Me: Only my real father gets to call me that
Gabriel: Okay Sam, I know its gonna take a lot of time for you to grow and love me but I promise you this, I will take care of you, your sister, and your mother.
Finally, the wedding took place. After a tiring, exhausting day I went inside the car and we finally drove off. I looked at the back window, as I was finally leaving my past behind, all the memories I had spent, the people who I cherished and loved...
Keisha: Sam
Me: Yes
Keisha: Mark called me today, saying he planned a suprise dinner yesterday for you two to make up, and make it official
Me: (Silent)
Keisha: He also said that, I must tell you that it was real and it will forever be real if you give him another chance. I don't know what he is saying, but he's speaking riddles.
Me: He really loved me
My smile quickly frowned, as the thought of Mark came into mind. And the thought of that, I'll be leaving his love for me behind..
The next day, We arrived at Navenwood. It was a glittery, glamorous and private surbub. All the houses were, luxurious and huge.
Gabriel: Well, everyone welcome to Navenwood
Mom: Aren't you all excited
Me and Keisha: (Sarcastically) yeah..
We got off from the car, in front of a huge modern house, with a fresh flowered garden, a magnificent cool air breeze. we went inside, the staff greeted us:
Gabriel: Diana, this is your servant, Herald. He always organises and fix any problem you encounter with just one clap of a hand. And this is our maid, Zara. Our Gardner and our florist, William and Mary. Then there is my right hand man, and also our chaffeur, Kane.
Kane: an honour to meet you Ma'am
Suddenly, three other people walked in..
Gabriel: Oh, Iam so glad you finally made it. Kids meet your new stepmother, Diana.
Them: (Shocked)
Gabriel: Diana this is my first born child, Kevin. My middle born, Cassie, and my sweet last born angel, Anna.
Diana: Hey, nice to meet you all, these are my kids, Sam and Keisha.
Me and Keisha: Nice to meet you.
We shook hands, Suddenly Kevin's grey-ish eyes, sweet and cute face caught my attention.
Me: Hi I am Sam
Kevin: I am Kev, nice to meet you
Keisha: Hey there sugar plum, are you okay?
Anna: I am...
...Continuation...
Keisha: Hey there sugar plum, are you okay?
Anna: Iam a bit surprised, Dad always has new family. He doesn't have time for us anymore
Keisha: He does have time for you guys
Anna: No he doesn't, all he does is bring h0es in the house
Keisha: (Laughing) where did you learn that word
Anna: from Cassie's music
Cassie: Hold on little buddy, I think you said too much already
Keisha: Nice taste in music
Cassie: Thanks.
It was 11:34AM, I was playing Candy Crush on my phone, in my new bedroom. When suddenly I felt the urge to eat, I quickly sneaked to the kitchen. I found the fridge, and took some Yoghurt, A banana and made myself something to eat. I went back, I passed the bathroom..when I heard, someone is in the shower. I slowly peeped through the half open door, Gabriel was taking a shower. I retreat slowly, but I went back and peeped again. I dropped the bowl by mistake and he turned off the shower and I ran back to my room. A few moments later, he knocked.
Gabriel: Hey, you're still awake
Me: Yes, Iam. I can't sleep
Gabriel: I can't sleep too, that's why I took a cold shower, I couldn't help myself but notice someone was watching me
Me: (Tensed) Ohhh hahaha, that was me. I just came back from the kitchen, and I just passed. I didn't see anything
Gabriel: I know it was you, and your yoghurt fell in the floor
Me: (Sarcastically) yeah yeah, the yoghurt
Gabriel: it's really nice. [ He licked his two fingers]
I let out a huge swallow, he came close. I looked over the towel that was wrapped around his waist, he leaned closer. I could feel his breath against my neck, he dipped his two fingers into the bowl and licked them slowly.
I went back slowly and broke the tension
Me: Uhm, I feel sleepy now. Iam going to sleep
Gabriel: oh okay, I was just tasting the yoghurt. It's been in the fridge for two days now, I think it's spoiled.
Me: Sure, thanks. I'll leave it there. Goodnight
Gabriel: Goodnight
He went out, I couldn't help but notice he's back view. Cold and steamy, he stopped from the door. Looked at me and closed it again.
The next morning, I woke up. Wore a blue gown, with matching sleepers and I went to the mail box. I browsed through them, and I saw a letter from "St Billard High School". A school I applied for a scholarship to. It read as follows
"Good Day Mr Gregory, we have received your application for St Billard High School, and we have therefore granted you your scholarship for your education here in this school. We are very excited to have you, and we hope your education may continue to go as far and proud
St Billard HS"
I got overly excited and went to spread the news to the family.
Me: Hey Mr Herald, where's my Mom?
Herald: They went to their honeymoon in Ibiza, Spain sir.
Me: Why didnt they tell me, and call me Sam.
Herald: Okay Mr Sam, they said they didn't want to bother your sleep and felt like there wasn't a need to.
Me: But.. nevermind.
Herald: Good, breakfast is ready. Should I wake the others up?
Me: Why you're asking me?
Herald: Because you are the one infront of me
Me: Is that a funny joke or?
Herald: No it is not, Iam not a person who talks "jokes". I have been working here for the past 45 years
Me: Wow, how old are you now?
Herald: 75
Me: and they still let you work here?
Suddenly Kevin came downstairs and interrupted us:
Kevin: Yes, he is the best in the country with what he does. Herald could you please bring my food to my room, I'll be eating there.
I went upstairs and left my letter at the kitchen counter. Kevin picked it up, and read it.
I went to Keisha's room, in a suprise she wasn't there. I quickly jumped and looked for her, I encountered William in the backyard.
Me: Sorry sir, do you know where my sister is?
William: Oh they forgot to tell you, she went with Cassie and Anna to the movie theatres.
Me: seriously? So they all left me, alone
Kevin: Iam here, Iam not a ghost
Me: No, thanks for the offer. I'll just go to my room and watch a movie
Kevin: too boring, I could show you around and maybe you could meet my friends?
Me: sounds like a great idea, Iam in.
I went inside, Kevin was sitting with William outside.
William: He looks more energetic than you
Kevin: And a lot handsome too
William: Do you like him?
Kevin: No I don't
William: Your mouth says so but your eyes disagree
Kevin: Iam not gay
William: Last time I checked you were
Kevin: Iam bi William, Bisexual there's a difference
William: Well whatever label you got, it's still love. Try to break the ice that's keeping you two apart and confess.
Kevin: I don't really like him, he's too himself
William: sounds like you're jealous that he might take your place soon
Kevin: Yeah Iam, My dad never grew to someone that close before, it's like he's some kind of special stone.
Mary: What are you folks talking about?
Kevin: nothing Mary, we are just talking about how you and William make a perfect couple
Mary: [Fixing her hair] Really?
Kevin: Yes, let me leave you guys to talk.
