Chapter 3


	The hours were flying by all to fast.  It was already eleven and
we'd be closing Calientes in an hour.  I've had Chris all to my self and
was loving every moment.  Things were not as awkward as I thought they
would be.  Chris and I kept our conversations interesting but still managed
to get the work done.  Chris even helped me out with some of the paper
work.  Honestly, I haven't enjoyed work so much in a long time. Hell, life
at times wasn't as great as these little moments with him.  Who would have
thought one person can make everything better with just a smile or laugh.
We stood next to the register and just began to wonder as I stared at
Chris.

"Not to sound rude, but why are you here?"

Chris "Umm, I work here."

"No. I mean, why here.  Don't you live with your parents?"

Chris seemed uncomfortable when I brought up his parents.  He seemed to be
lost in thought for a few seconds.

"Are you okay?"

Chris "Yeah, just got thrown off by your question.  Um, no I don't live
with my parents.  I share an apartment with a friend."

Chris seemed to look a little saddened with his answer, so I decided to
back off and change the subject for now.

"Hey, what are you doing after work."

Chris "Lets see, kind of hard to say, cause there's so much to do in this
small town at one in the morning."

I laughed at his comment and got him to flash me that smile I've so quickly
fallen in love with.

"Will since your such a busy man, there's no point in asking you to come
with us after work. Oh well, could have had some fun."

Chris "Hey, I never said I had plans set in stone."

"No no, it's okay, was just trying to be a nice guy."

Chris "Seriously, what's there to do at one a.m.?"

I laughed at the way Chris curiosity seemed to get the best of him.  He
looked like a little kid wanting in on a secret so bad. How could I keep
the something from a face like that.

"Shane and I usually go to her house on Sundays after work. She lives with
Rain and Rain's sister Ayla."

Chris "Really, what do you guys do?"

"We usually have all our clothes off by three, and the orgy finished by
six.  Oh and you can't tell anyone."

Chris's surprised face was priceless.  Nothing but shock and confusion all
over his face. I had to try so hard to keep a serious look.

Chris "I thought you said they were like sisters and that^Å umm
incest.. and.. umm???"

I burst out in laughter so loud that even the lingering costumers turned to
stare at us near the cash register. I turned to them and apologized for the
loudness but they just smiled and went back to their business.

"I'm kidding! It was a joke, but you should have seen your face!"

Chris just gave me an embarrassed smile which made me want to hold him and
say sorry. Talk about so cute he makes you want to puke.

"We just kick back and relax.  We watch a movie play video games or just
lie around and chat.  Nothing special."

Chris seemed to look interested in the question.

Chris "Sure, why not.  Better than going home just to lay in bed wide
awake."

At his answer I almost jumped for joy.  The thought of having Chris even
longer made me want to sing a song of joy, pretty gay huh!

Chris "I'll have to go home first and clean up some.  Kind of don't want to
smell like Calients all night."

"Hey, if you don't mind I keep a bunch of my clothes at Shane's house. I'm
pretty sure they fit you."

Chris "Really, Its okay, you don't have too. I can just run home and^Å"

"Don't worry about it. If I minded I wouldn't ask."

Chris "Ok then, I guess straight to your house from here."

At that point, Shane came running around the corner with Jaime right behind
her. She jumped into the air and landed right into Chris's arms.  Jaime
just stopped next to me given me that smile again. Again I felt
uncomfortable.

Shane "Hey my second tallest!  Is my tallest treating you good?!"

Chris "Of course not, he makes me do all the work while standing
there. Then he has the nerve to ask me to go to your house with him after
work.!"

I gave Chris an angry stare, then shielded my self from an attack from
Shane.

Shane "Hey, why you treating my boy all shitty for! You don't want me to
have to hurt you!"

I laughed at her Shane's attempt of being a hard ass.  We knew she'd be the
last person to cause anyone any kind of physical pain.

"Riiiight!"

Shane "Yo, don't make me get my girl Ayla!"

"Okay, okay, I'll be good!"

Shane "And you! You said yes right?"

Chris "Of course."

Shane, Chris and I just stood and laughed while Jaime stared at us with an
annoyed look.

Jaime "Well I wish I could go, but you know us models have our obligations
and all. Who knows maybe next time."

With that said Jaime just walked away and said he'd see us tomorrow.  As he
was passing me he stopped for a second and gave me a wink.

Jaime "Goodnight boss man.'

"umm, night."

We all had confused looks as Jaime walked out the front door.  Dude was
weird, and we all knew it.

Chris "Don't we have an hour still to work?"

"We do, but we only keep one cook after closing to clean up. Plus, his
application is very specific on being off at midnight."

Shane "Yes! I know! He reminded me about a hundred times! I get it beauty
sleep and shit! Dudes cool but shish, talk about an ego!!"

We all laughed some more at Jaime's expense, but then quickly returned to
work.  We had an hour to clean and a lot to do.  Plus the faster we
finished the sooner I'd get to spend some more quality time with Chris.

	The last hour past really fast and we all were ready to leave. I
made sure everyone was out before me while Shane and Chris stood next to my
car outside.  I was excited to be hanging out with Chris outside of work,
yet still kind of shocked he was even here.  How weird was it that just the
day before we had met at the lake and the next day we'd be working
together.

	I double checked the place out and made my way out.  Made sure that
the doors were locked to Calientes and made my way to the parking lot.  I
could see that Shane and Chris were laughing about something.  I was glad
the two had hit off so great.  I thought to my self as I reached them and
saw Chris smile at me.  He had this innocence to his smile that made me
think how couldn't you fall in love with this guy.  He stared me in the
eyes and put his hands on his head.

Chris "We ready to go?"

"Yeah you can just follow me."

Shane "Yeah lets go, I'm the hungry and the feet's hurt!"

Shane at that moment jumped on my back and nearly knocked me to the ground.

Shane "Home Jeeves!"

"Dammit Shane! You know those boobs of yours weigh a ton each!"

Chris just seemed amused by us as he made his way to his car laughing.  I
even forgot I had Shane on my back. I just stood there staring at him
walking away.

Shane "You know its good to see you like this."

"What?  What are you talking about"

Shane "Happy.  It's been a good while since I've herd you laugh the way you
did earlier inside. He seems good for you Ethan."

"I don't know what your talking about. Why would you say that."

Shane "Lets see, the way you look at him, the way you laugh at everything
he says, the way your always smiling around him"

"Okay I get the point."

Shane "I bet you even have a stiffy every time you^Å.. "

"Shut the hell up! Man I hate you so much!"

Shane "No you don't, you love me!"

At that point Shane throw her arms around me from behind and squeezed me as
hard as she could.  I finally beat her off my back and managed to get in my
car.  Shane jumped in the passenger seat with a big smirk on her face.
Shane never brought her car on Sundays.  She figured since I always go to
her house after work that she might as well get dropped off and ride home
with me.

	I stared out the window and thought about what Shane said. She was
right, I was fallen for Chris fast and hard.  I didn't understand why but I
knew for sure that I was.  If Shane could see it, I wondered if Chris did
too. I sat for a moment just wondering how to hide my feelings.  The whole
ride home no words were spoken between Shane and I.  I was stuck on the
whole Chris situation.  I needed to figure the best way to hide my
feelings.  I had too, or I'd mess up any chance of just being friends.

	I Pulled up to Shane's apartment complex and parked into one of the
guest parking.  I looked out the window and saw Chris do the same.  The
nerve started to set again as I saw him walks towards my car.  I made my
way out and Shane did the same.  Chris walked up to me with a smile on his
face.

Chris "We going in or just standing out here in the cold?"

Shane "Yeah hurry before my nipples get too cold and stab someone!"

Shane turned and ran away towards the apartments.  Chris and I just stood
for a second laughing at Shane flapping her arms as she ran.

Chris "You sure its okay for me to be here.  I mean Rain and her sister
wont get mad?

"Don't worry about it.  It practically my home too.  Rain knows you and
Ayla is the sweetest girl you'll ever meet."

After comforting Chris we made our way to the door.  I didn't have my keys
and for some reason Shane had locked the door after going in.  I knocked on
the door and waited for a few seconds until Ayla finally swung the door
open.

Ayla "Why the hell didn't you just use your key! Do I look like a door man!
And who the hell are you!"

Chris looked nervous.  You could tell he wasn't sure what to say.

"Shut the hell up Ayla. Its Shane's fault, she locked the door behind her."

Ayla "I'm just kidding.  I locked the door so I could mess with you guys."

Ayla started laughing and Chris still looked nervous.

"You see why nobody likes you! This is Chris. Chris, this is Rain's sister
Ayla."

Ayla "Hi.  Sorry bout that whole who the hell thing, was just kidding."

Chris "Don't worry bout it."

We walked on in past Ayla.  First Chris passed her but when I tried, Ayla
grabbed my arm and pulled me close.  She looked over at Chris then
whispered in my ear.

Ayla "Wow, he's hot.  Are you guys, you know^Å"

"Nope, he's a straight one."

Ayla let go of my hand and headed straight for Chris.  To say I wasn't
jealous would be an understatement.  I knew what she was up too.

Ayla "So Chris, your not mad about my joke right?"

Chris "Oh no, just kind of get nervous when I meet new people."

Ayla "Don't worry I don't bite.  Hey are you hungry or can I get you
something to drink?"

I pretended not to notice that Ayla throwing herself all over Chris was
bugging me.  Guess I didn't play it off very well.  Shane came up too me
and got really close so that only I could hear her.

Shane "You know, he doesn't look half as interested in what Ayla has to
say. You notice he keeps looking back at you?"

"Don't start please, I'm not in the mood."

I walked away from Shane feeling bad.  I didn't mean to sound like a dick,
but it was true. Why let her try to get my hopes up just to be crushed. I
made my way to Shane's room to get Chris a change of clothes.

	I sat on Shane's bed and took a breather.  Chris had just got here
and I was already hiding out in the room.  I went to the dresser and found
some pajama pants and a t shirt for Chris and made my way back to the
living room.  I saw Chris sitting on the couch with Ayla all over him and
laughing. At that moment I thought about leaving and letting Ayla have
Chris all to her self.  When I was about to say some stupid excuse to why I
had to live, Chris pretty much throw Ayla off of him and darted straight
for me.

Chris "Hey you said you had a change of clothes for me!"

I almost laughed at how Chris looked back at Ayla scared.

"Yeah, here you go. You can change in the bathroom down the hall."

Chris just flashed me that smile at me and took the clothes. He disappeared
into the hallway and I made my way into the kitchen were I found Shane.

Shane "Here, I poured you some juice."

"Hey Shane^Å I'm sorry about earlier when^Å"

Shane "Don't worry about it. But did you see how he ran to you scared
shitless when you came out of the room?"

I laughed at Shane and gave her an angry look.  I then chased her out of
the kitchen.  I stood alone thinking how right she was. Still, Ayla just
has that affect on people.  I finished my juice and headed back to Shane's
room to change out of my clothes.

	When I opened the door I was shocked to what I found.  There stood
Chris in nothing but a pair of gray boxer briefs.  He was turned around at
first so he didn't notice me, but I sure noticed how nice his ass looked in
his briefs.

"Oh crap, I'm sorry.. I was going to change and.. I thought nobody was in
here!"

I turned bright red when Chris turned to look at me.  I couldn't help to
take a peek at his great body.  I started to turn around but was surprised
by the way Chris reacted.  He just smiled at me.

Chris "You don't have to go.  Its not like we have anything we haven't both
seen before."

Chris just kept smiling as he walked passed me to shut the door.  How was I
supposed to change in front of this guy I had it bad for.

Chris "If your uncomfortable, I'll get out."

"No, it's just that I thought you were changing in the bathroom."

Chris "I was going to but Rain was in there."

"Oh sorry. I thought she was at her boyfriends house."

I headed towards my clothes and tried to keep my eyes off Chris as he took
a seat on the bed, still wearing only his briefs.  I pulled my clothes off
and began to change into my pajamas.

Chris "So Ayla, she's.."

"Crazy."

Chris just laughed as he finally began to put his clothes on.  I was glad
because I wasn't sure how long I could avoid eye contact.

"You know you don't have to be scared of Ayla, she's just.. Extra
friendly."

Chris "What makes you think I'm scared of her?"

"The fear in your eyes as you stumbled and struggled towards me when I came
out with your clothes."

Chris "What makes you think it was fear, maybe it was passion when I saw
you and I just got a little too excited."

I stared at Chris trying to make out if he was joking or being
serious. Damn that Shane she had me all confused.  Chris just began to
laugh and made his way towards the door.

Chris "Okay I'm ready.  Oh yeah, do you know the safety word for Ayla? You
know, in case she gets too rough for my taste?"

I laughed at his joke but stuck in my mind was still his last comment about
passion. I tried to shake the thought and followed Chris out the door and
back to dangers way.

Ayla "Chris!"

Shane "Oh Shit run boy! Run!"

At that point Ayla came running for Chris and he headed towards the
kitchen.  A few seconds later Ayla came running out the kitchen
screaming. When I entered the kitchen I saw Rain and Chris standing and
laughing.  When I got closer I realized why Ayla had ran away.  Rain had
managed to catch a moth, Ayla's weakness.

Rain "Yeah if she ever tries to smother grab the nearest bug around and
she'll always react in such a way, beautiful isn't it."

Chris "Wow you saved my life."

Rain "See this is why I collected bugs as a child, not cause I liked them
but because I like having my own room."

"I thought you were with your man tonight."

Rain "I was but he was getting boring so I came home."

"Alright lets grab the snacks and watch some movies."

Chris "What are we watching?"

"Shane rented some foreign movie.  You like those kinds?"

Chris "Not really but it's cool."

"Don't worry, we get them for the kick ass fight scenes."

Chris "Now we're talking."

We all raided the fridge and cabinets for snacks and headed towards the
living room.  We all sat around the floor and assured Ayla it was safe for
about five minutes.  When she finally decided it was safe she came and sat
between Chris and I. Half way through the movie the night just had to be
ruined.

Ayla "Hey did you see that girl, she looked liked Mercy."

Shane "No she didn't."

Ayla "Yes she did, Ethan rewind it so we can see her again."

"Can we just forget it and finish the movie?"

Ayla "No, I want to see her again and show Shane."

Rain "God does it matter lets just watch the damn movie."

Ayla "Hey just cause you two are mad at her doesn't mean she's not my
friend."

Chris "Um, who's Mercy."

"Nobody!"

Ayla "Damn Ethan you don't have to yell."

"I'm not yelling! Cant we just drop it and finish the movie."

Ayla "Well if your going to have an attitude like that, then no!"

"Ayla I'm sorry if I don't want to see or be reminded about Mercy
everyday!"

Rain "Dammit cant you guys just shut the fuck up so I can watch the movie!"

Shane "Ok Ayla your right she did look like her!  Can we go back to the
movie now?"

Ayla "I don't know why you're all so mad at Mercy, she didn't do anything
wrong."

Chris "So is Mercy a bad person or what?"

"She's nobody!  I already told you!  Why do you even care?!"

Chris "I'm sorry, I was just concerned. I thought we were friends and^Å"

"Friends?! We just met! I barely know you and you already want to get into
my personal business!"

Shane "Ethan!  Chris didn't do anything but try to be a nice guy."

"I didn't ask him too be anything!  God you know what forget this."

Rain "See Ayla, see what you started!"

I headed to get my keys and felt all this anger build up. Visions of Mercy
began to creep in my thoughts, which didn't help.  I looked back at the
group on the floor and saw Rain and Ayla still going at it.  Shane was
comforting Chris who looked like a sad puppy.  I began to feel bad for a
second but stopped myself.  He was winning me to fast and I was scared.  If
I let him in to much I knew I'd only end up hurt.  I had to go and headed
for the door only to be stopped by Shane.

Shane "Don't go like this.  Look at him, you really hurt him."

I couldn't look Shane in the eyes.  I only spoke as cold as I could.

"Better him than me."

Shane "Wow that's harsh. I never thought I'd hear something like that from
you.  You can't let one person turn you into an asshole Ethan."

Tears began to fill my eyes, which only made me even madder.  She was doing
this to me again and didn't even have to be here.  The fact that Chris was
watching only made it worst. The only thought going through my mind was to
not put my self in that situation again and I lost it.

"Stop!  You don't know what I'm going through!  She didn't hurt you!  You
didn't loose someone you loved!  You didn't watch ten years of memories get
thrown away over the truth!  I tried to do the right thing cause you all
said it would be okay! You're right Ayla, she didn't do nothing wrong, I
did by listening to you guys!"

The tears were now running down my face.  I looked past Shane and over at
Ayla.  She only pissed me off more when she couldn't look me in the eyes.
I looked at Rain who just looked sad.  I saw the pain in her eyes and began
to hurt more.  When I looked at Chris, he seemed to be lost in emotions.
He was confused sad and angry all at once.  I turned back to Shane who just
stared at me with tear filled pleading eyes that nearly crushed me.

Shane "I'm sorry we talked you into it, we honestly thought she'd be^Å and
not everyone is like that."

I swallowed any words I had and turned around.  In a way, I always blamed
them for what had happened with Mercy and I. Now they knew.  I walked out
the door and to my car.  I drove straight home feeling blue.  The anger had
passed by the time I made it to bed.  For the first time in a long time I
cried myself to sleep.
