Because of Drew - Chapter 6

I didn't really feel like going to class that night. But since I had
already missed one day because of Drew, I had to grin and bear the fact
that school was important too.

School ended at 5:45 and I flew up to Karate by 6 and got the workout of my
life with Kick Boxing enidng at 7:50. 'Shit, shit, shit!' I thought. 'I'm
running late!'

I didn't even bother to go to my car, I just left the building and
teleported out of there, and back to my apartment. 7:51. Gotta love that!

I took a 5 minute shower, much shorter than my usual 20. Just enough to get
clean and ready for my first date with Drew. Oh no, what to wear?? I had a
great wardrobe already, but I don't really know what is appropriate for the
place that we were going. 7:57. Uh oh. Then I heard Drew's ringtone on my
phone. One that I created myself, I might add. His solo part of my favorite
song, My Everything. "Yeah?" I asked as I answered.

"You about ready?" he asked me.

"Yeah, just deciding what to wear. What kind of dress code is in effect for
the evening?" I asked.

"You can wear anything and look good. But, the dress should be
semi-formal." he stated.

"Thanks, see you in a couple of minutes." I said.

"I'm outside now." he said. "Do you need more time?"

"NO! Gimme just a minute. YOU are a minute early." I retorted as I hung up
the phone.

No time to put anything on, so I concentrated on a maroon button down, long
sleeve shirt, with khaki pants and a silver tie. The clothes
appeared. Gotta love the magic effect.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

'Just in time' I thought. "Hi there," I said as I opened the door and
stared into the face of true perfection. He was wearing black pants and an
emerald green long sleeve button down, no tie. I removed mine, but pocketed
it for later, just in case.

"Wow," was all he said. "Like I said, you look amazing in anything."

"Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself sexy." I said.

"Shall we go?" he asked.

"Yes, indeed." I replied. "Please tell me that we are not in the SUV. I
cannot stand big cars."

"Nope, we are in this right here." he stated as he walked up to a red
topless Ferrari.

"Please tell me that you just rented this thing to woo me. This can't
actually be yours." I said.

"Actually, its yours." he said. "I bought it this afternoon, and I was
hoping that you would take it as a gift from me."

"Drew, this is way too nice of you. I want to say that I can't take it, but
I know in my mind that it is better than the POS that I drive now. Thank
you." I didn't know what else to say.

"Well this is not all of it. If it is okay, I asked Nick and Brit to go
with us, as a double date. I hope that is okay." he said to me.

"That is great. Now if I get bored talking with you I can talk with someone
more interesting." I said, then I just laughed.

He started laughing too then commented, "I don't think that you will find
anyone more interesting than me tonight."

He started the car, since I did not know where we were going, and drove
off. Surprisingly enough, we ended up at the Millennium Tower
Restaurant. Our reservations were for 8:30 and it was only 8:20, so we
waited for a little while Nick and Brittany decided to show up. And they
did arrive with only 2 minutes to spare. They also looked pretty good. No
one looks better than Drew though.

"Cutting it a little close there?" I asked.

"This one takes forever to get ready for anything. I waited for her at her
apartment for almost 30 minutes before she was ready." Nick stated.

"Right this way, please" the host told us when they arrived.

We were lead to a table in the back, away from prying eyes. This was way
too nice from what I was used to. I grew up on McDonalds and Hardees, and
this was just not what I expected. We ordered out dinners and drinks, with
me getting a grilled chicken salad, and I didn't even hear what everyone
else ordered. I was too shocked by my surroundings and the fact that I was
here, with the man that I love. Still gives me goosebumps. Love. I had
finally found it.

There was idle chit-chat before dinner had arrived and during dinner. Drew
and Nick wanted to know all about me and Brit, I started. "When I start
this it is kind of hard for me to stop. I was born and raised in South
St. Louis, went to catholic school, where I had to wear the crazy
uniforms. Ended up moving out to Jefferson County due to the fact that the
crime rate was going up, and after my mom got robbed at gunpoint right
outside our house. I was bounced around a lot finally settling in Hillsboro
MO, and hating every minute of it. Too country for me. I needed
civilization. So after my little revelation about the gay thing in high
school then the magic thing shortly thereafter, I left the house. I was
only 17 when I graduated. I had to live with my grandma for a couple of
months, then I got my apartment. I have been living there ever since. I
have had no desire to contact my family since they threw me out on my own
with my car and my cat."

"Wow, I thought I had it bad." Brit said. "Growing up was nowhere near as
bad for me as it was for you. I come from the city of Dupo IL, and trust
me, there ain't that much there. Not really much to do in that town. When I
graduated from high school, I was in about the same boat at Sam was. I was
realy overweight, and I looked like a dork. So, I dropped the weight, got
contact lenses, and enrolled in cosmotology school. The rest is pretty much
history. Except for the fact that I was engaged once, to the man who took
my virginity. Then I ended it when I found him with my sister 2 weeks
before the wedding. Otherwise, lets see, my dad is gay. He came out in Sept
of 01, even though I was too young to understand to what was going
on. Also, I was never really wanted by his side of the family. They always
preffered my sister. On top of that, I tried to date guys in high school
and half of them came out to me after a couple of months of dating. So,
naturally, gay guys are EVERYWHERE in my life and I really don't mind it
all that much. I think that's bout it."

After she finished her story, the glossy eyed effect took over on the guys
eyes. I thought they were going to start crying for some reason. Drew got
up and started walking away. Nick said, "I wonder whats wrong with him? I
will be right back."

"No, let me go, I think that this has something to do with me anyways." I
told him. I got up and went to where I thought Drew was. I found him in the
bathroom crying. "What's up man? My life wasn't that bad. Was it?"

"I think that it was." he stifled out between sobs. "I just wish that I was
there to help at some point in time. The fact that you have been through
this much without someone there to support you is well beyond me."

"Drew, there was nothing that anyone could have done about it. Yes, I was
mad about what happened, but I am not going to let it get to me. Whatever
doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. If my family doesn't want to know
about the amazing person that I have become or the most perfect bofriend
that I have found, then they don't need to. They don't deserve to know." I
said to him.

He stopped crying, rather slowly, then turned to me and kissed me. "You are
so right." he said. "If they cut you out, then they do not deserve to know
anyhting about the man that you have become and the one that loves you."

"Come on, lets get back to them before they start to suspect something
about what we are doing in here." I said. All he did was giggle a little
then we started to make our way out of the restroom.

Ringing phone. "Shit, hang on a sec." I said to Drew. "Hello?"

"Steven? This is Sarah." the voice on the other end had said.

I didn't say anything at first. How could this person know my real
name. "Sarah...have a last name?" I said.

"Your cousin." I stood there and said nothing.
