Subject: Magic Happens Chapter 5

     The next morning light was shining through the window and birds were
chirping outside.  I opened my eyes and was face to face with my beloved. I
lied there staring at him, gazing at his beautiful face, the face I
loved. In the midst of my gazing he opened his eyes and suddenly I was
staring into a pool of lovely dark brown. I melted like I did the first
time I looked into his eyes.

     "Morning love." He whispered to me.
     "Hi baby." I told him back. He leaned up to give me a kiss and I met
him halfway.
     "How'd you sleep?" I asked lacing my fingers with his. I felt safe
here, in his arms it was like nothing could touch me, a feeling of
invincibility.
     "Fine, just fine." He said looking down to me. God I loved those brown
eyes. "So did Leila get in okay?"
     "Oh ya she's just fine, I think she's sound asleep still. What time is
it? I asked trying to look over him to the clock.
     "It is, 10:46 in the AM. Why?" He asked with a great curiosity in his
eyes.
     "No reason." I laughed and smiled up at him.  He moved one of his
hands and started to tickle me. I was extremely ticklish. "Hey stop it." I
started laughing aloud. I started squirming around in the bed like a child.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door.
     "Yes?" I answered the call, still in the middle of my laughing
fit. The door opened and Leila appeared.
     " So I understand sex is a natural thing but can you guys, I don't
know keep it down a little. I'm trying to sleep off a hangover." She said
with a slight irritation and complete drowsiness.
     "Sorry there girly." Corbin said. I giggled under my breath and Leila
shot me a look with her killer hazel eyes. " If you want I can whip a
little something up that will get you up and running?"
     "Okay sure. Anything to get me away from the Peach Schnapps." She
said.
     "Oh baby, I hope you don't mind. I opened the bottle of Peach
Schnapps." I said to him I grabbed one of the blankets from the bed and
covered up as I grabbed the robe that was on the chair from the night
before.
     "Its no problem. I can always buy more." He said looking over to
me. "Oh Mark," I looked up wondering what he meant. "I didn't want you to
find that until later."
     "Wait? What?" I asked him.
     "I had your name put on the back of it." He said. I looked at the
insignia on it. I wanted to jump his bones in gratitude and Leila picked up
on it and cleared her throat, which snapped me back into reality. I led
Leila out of the room and Corbin told me that he'd be downstairs when his
phone rang.
     The rest of day was spent taking in the sights of LA. Corbin and I had
a double date with Luke and Leila. During the date we talked about the
possibility of moving out to California permanently and having a transfer
request to California Disney. After dinner we headed home had a couple of
drinks and went to bed, Luke stayed the night as well.
     The next morning I borrowed on of Corbin's cars and Leila and I went
to the Casting Center in Anaheim. Corbin had work.
     "Is this really happening to us or am I dreaming?" I asked pulling
onto a busy highway trying to keep my eyes on the GPS and the road at the
same time.
     "You mean the Prince Charmings that we just so happened to fall
upon. Sounds like a dream come true if you ask me." She said. Adjusting her
bra under he blouse so she didn't come off too slutty.
     "He is so, so handsome and to think of how it came along." I said, my
eyes following the twist and turns of the highway to Anaheim. "All this
time of heartbreak and disappointment and I finally found the love of my
life. AND he's a celebrity of all things. How did I end up with him?"  I
asked, I began to tear up and I took one hand off of the steering wheel and
wiped my eyes.
     "Sweetie you deserve him. He loves you. You've gone through all sorts
of nasty break ups and really harsh conditions. You deserve everything he
has to offer. Did you tell him about your past relationships, yet?" She
asked, now adjusting her skirt.
     "No, I have'nt. I mean, I wouldn't know where to start." I said. I was
trying desperately to push the conversation out of my head.
     "I think you should. Call him up and ask him to dinner tonight and
tell him then. You like the beach take him there. I know you are a lot
calmer and you think clearer." She said.
     "I should, shouldn't I?" I picked up my phone and dialed his
number. "Hello, Corbin?"
     "No, this isn't Corbin. It's Zac." The man said over the phone. "He's
a little busy at the moment." Zac giggled a little under his breath. And
whispered a word of 'stop it'.
     "Umm well. Could you give him a message for me?" I asked politely.
     "Yea, sure. What's the message?" Zac asked in an equally polite tone.
     "Just tell him that Mark called and I want him to call me back."  I
told him.
     "Am I to assume that this is Mark, the fabled boyfriend around these
parts? This is going to get good. Alright, I'll give him the message." Zac
said sounding a little preoccupied, then I heard a familiar giggling in the
background. I could have sworn it was Corbin.
     "Thanks" I said as he hung up. I put the phone down and pressed on the
gas, going a little faster than I was supposed to. The sound of sirens and
the rotating glow of red and blue followed us.
     "Christ." I said. I pulled over into the break down lane and put on
the hazards. The cop tapped the window and I rolled it down.
     "License and registration, please." The cop asked. He was about 40,
5'8, and balding. He was wearing dark aviators so I couldn't tell his
eyes. I pulled my wallet from pocket and drew my Florida license. Leila
handed me the registration from where Corbin said it would be. I handed it
to the cop. "Sir you were speeding. I clocked you doing 70 in a 55. Care to
explain that?
     "I'm sorry officer, I'm not from around here, and neither is my friend
here. I didn't know the speed limit until you just told me."
     "This vehicle is registered to a Mr. Corbin Bleu. Is there something
you want to share with me? He said his eyes darting to Leila.
     "What? No! He is a friend of mine. How dare you!" I said in outrage.
     "Sir, I am just trying to do my job." He said calmly.
     "Officer, this car is not stolen. This car belongs to my boyfriend." I
told him. He sighed and under his breath I heard him mumble. 'I always get
stuck with the fags'. I looked over to Leila and I knew she heard him but I
put my hand on her knee and shook my head. The cop came back to the car
with his sunglasses off.
     "Okay look, here's the deal. I'm gonna let you go with a
warning. Don't let me catch you speeding again." The officer said he handed
back the license and registration to me.
     "Thank you officer." I said. I started the car up again and peeled off
of the side of the road and continued on our way.
     "What was that about?" Leila asked me, obviously disturbed about what
just happened.
     "Some prick of a cop that has ignorance as a first impression."
     "Not that, Mark." She said looking at me. " I'm talking about the
phone call. Is something bothering you?"
     "I'm fine." I lied through my teeth and she out of anyone could pick
up on it like a bloodhound on a fox.
     "Don't lie. Something is bothering you because, you were speeding. "
     "Lei, someone else picked up his phone." My eyes began to water.
     "You don't think he's cheating on you?" Leila asked with the deepest
concern she could muster.
     " I don't think he would but the thought of it just kinda makes me
wonder.
     "Sweetie I know you trust him. It's going to be okay." She said.

     The rest of the ride was silent until we got there at about 10:30. The
ride was about 45 minutes long excluding the cop stopping us. When we got
there Leila went to the receptionist and she waved me into the waiting
room. I sat down while Leila retrieved the forms. I looked on the table and
saw a stack of magazines and I began shuffling through them. I saw an old
copy of People Magazine, Corbin was on the cover an arm around a guy about
his age and height with short hair and crystal blue eyes the head line
read:

     Corbin and Zac: More than just friends

     I opened to the table of contents and tracked down the article and
read a little bit of it.
     Corbin Bleu and Zac Efron, two stars of Disney Channels High School
Musical Series was seen partying hard at Silver, a gay bar in LA Saturday
night. They were seen making out in a more than friendly way. Blame it on
the alcohol, I think not

     Leila arrived with the forms and I handed off the magazine to her.
     "Oh honey, this is a tabloid magazine don't believe anything it says,
just don't okay" She said putting the magazine down. "Here fill these out."
I took the papers, and began to fill them out.

     The rest of the day went off without any problems and we were pretty
much guaranteed a job. The woman did mention however that we would need a
letter of recommendation from our Area Manager and manager first to get the
job Of course that was no problem.
     "Corbin! Babe you home?" I yelled for him. I loosened the tie I had on
and went into the kitchen and found that the answering machine had one
message on it. I make it a habit to listen to messages and jot them down
when I get a chance. I pressed the little red button before rummaging
through the fridge for something to drink as well as pulling out some
ingredients to cook with for when Corbin comes home.
     "One new message: Hey Baby, I gotta work late tonight. We just got
surprised with a pop choreography test. So I wont be coming home until
maybe midnight, so don't wait up. You know where the list is for delivery
food. I love you and I'll see you later. And Leila Luke says he misses you
already. Bye. End of message, to save it press.." I went over and pressed
the button off. I was in the midst of chopping vegetables.
     "Guess these will have to wait huh?" I said to Leila who was watching
lifetime in the living room.
     "I want Chinese tonight." Leila said. That was the same thing I was
thinking so I broke out the delivery list.

     We made our order and waited an hour for it. When the food got to the
house we ate faster than we have ever eaten before, even on the busiest
days with labor for 7 hours until break.  We fell asleep watching our
favorite movie, The General Days of my Children. When we heard to the door
slam shut. I opened a weary eye and saw the mop of curly brown hair and
straightened up.
     "Hey baby, how was your rehearsal? I got you some food if your
hungry." I told him.
     "It was okay, it was really tiring. Thanks, but I'm not hungry the
gang and I grabbed a bite to eat after we left. I'm gonna head up. Okay?"
He said. Corbin dropped his things at the door and sulked up the stairs to
our bedroom. I followed him upstairs and into bed.
     "Hey baby? I wanted to have a romantic evening. Just you and me. Sound
good?" I asked him.
     "Yea, that's fine. Does 8 sound good?" He responded. He had his
clothes off and was in his boxers and climbed into bed.
     "It does." I said climbing into bed next to him. I kissed him good
night.
