Chapter 4

Evan lied in his bed later that night staring absent-mindedly at the
ceiling playing catch with himself with a baseball that he had from when he
was younger, his phone went off and he reached over to answer it. Christy
was on the line.
	"Hey baby? What's up?"  He asked, as if nothing was wrong.
	"Don't you even dare! Don't baby me!" She said very pissed off.
	"What is your problem?" Evan asked catching an attitude of his own.
	"You know what my problem is. What is today?" Christy asked finally
calming herself down.
	"It's Friday, and..." Evan began to realize. "Oh damn. Christy I am
so sorry. I totally forgot about our date earlier."
	"What's been going on? You've been coming really distant from me
lately and I feel like I might lose you soon. You're my best friend and my
boyfriend, I love you far too much to let this go by unnoticed. Now please
baby just tell me what's going on."  She asked, he could hear her resolve
breaking over the phone, his own heart beginning to sink. On one hand he
wanted to tell her that he's changing that he is falling out of love with
her, but on the other hand another side of him wants to make this work
until the very end he could learn to fall back in love with the life he was
living before Max came into his life.
	"Nothing. Baby, you know I love you, I will always love. You will
never ever lose me I promise.  Let me make it up to you, with dinner
tomorrow night." Evan asked her practically pleading. Christy didn't have
to think twice before forgiving him and accepting his proposal. "Awesome I
love you baby.  Good night." He hung up the phone and stared at the
ceiling, knowing full well that he had partially lied to her. Once again
Evan had willed himself to turn things back to normal.

       The next day was normal except that Evan had gone out to the
jewelers and the flower shop before his date with Christy. At about 6 he
arrived in a maroon dress shirt and black pants. He rang the doorbell and
Christy mother answered.
       "Christy, Evan is here." She called letting him inside. "Hello Evan,
how are you dear?" She said shutting the door and moving past him.
       "I'm doing well Mrs. Berkeley." Evan responded.  Christy came down
the stairs right after he had said that and she made her way to the door.
       "Good to know dear. Be sure to have her home in before 2 AM"
Mrs. Berkeley said giggling.  Christy rolled her eyes, definitely not
pleased with her mothers musings.. As they got to Evan's car he raced in
front of her to open the car door and let her in.  A few short minutes
later they were on the road and Evan could feel the negativity.
       "So baby, how'd you spend your day?" Evan said gripping her hand.
       "Ugh, the same old boring stuff." She said neutrally.
       "Well you are gonna have a really good night. I promise." He said
finally giving her hand a tender kiss she looked over at him and
smiled. They drove for another half hour to a very nice and fancy place
that Christy loved but they didn't go to very often. When they were about 5
minutes away he told her to close her eyes. He pulled into the parking lot
and pulled the bouquet of roses from the backseat. He opened her door and
lead her out, reminding her to keep her eyes closed. They walked up to the
building and into the fancy lobby.
       "Okay open your eyes." Evan said beaming. Christy opened her eyes to
view the beautiful gilded room with flawless marble floors.
       "Oh baby, La Maison de Perle. Thank you" She said giving him a big
kiss. He put his arm around her and then walked up to the concierge.
       "Hi. I have a reservation for two for Lonzo." Evan said to the
MaŚtre D.
       "Ah yes." The man said, "Very lucky for you to have gotten a
reservation today." He said almost snappishly. "Follow me." The couple
followed the MaŚtre D to the back of the restaurant where it was
quiet. "The waiter will be by shortly to take your orders" The MaŚtre D
said and walked away to deal with other patrons.
       "So I figure we could take tonight to just talk." Evan said.
       "Anything in particular?" Christy asked fearing the worst.
       "No, well yea kind of." Evan stated unsurely. "The thing I've been
thinking about was that I'm just not sure about things any more, you know?
Like where I am going after this, I'm not even sure what I want to do with
my life yet. I'm thinking I might just apply for Yale. My dad went there,
my cousin went there. I think I'd be the only one not going to Yale." The
waiter come over and poured them water, and took their order. "I mean he
wants me to be a lawyer, I don't know if I want to do that."
       "Honor thy father and mother, my love. I think you'd be a great
lawyer." Christy said taking a sip of her water.
       "Yea I guess it wouldn't be that bad." Evan said leaning over the
table to kiss her. The waiter came back with their drinks and took their
food order. "There was something else I wanted to tell you.  Christy, I
don't think I will ever find anyone else quite like you. You are my life
and I don't know what I would do if I lost you, so I bought you this." He
pulled the small velvet case from his jacket and presented it to her. "This
is my promise to you. To be there when you need me, to love no one else but
you the way I do now."
       "Oh sweetheart, I love you too." Christy said they shared a
passionate kiss and began to talk about more general things until the food
came. After about an hour and a half the bill was paid and the walked out
to the car. Neither of them ready to go home. He drove to a lookout spot
also known as Lovers Point. Evan parked and got out of his car and opened
the door for Christy, the two sat on the hood and stared up into the
sky. "Baby, tonight was excellent thank you." She leaned over and kissed
him passionately, with every second the kissing got more intense until they
were going at it full on. Evan unzipped her dress and caressed her breasts
subtly and his shirt was off and pushed back. They kissed more and with
more intensity. They switched places and Christy ended up on top of him,
kissing him fiercely she undid he belt and opened his pants.
       "Wait. Wait. Christy." Evan said knowing what was coming, but his
objections fell on deaf ears.  "Christy! Stop!" He said finally pushing her
off of him. "We've been through this before, I'm not ready to do anything
else. So please just give me some time." Christy annoyed pulled back on her
dress and zipped it up.
       "Take me home." She said emotionless.
       "Okay." Evan said just as annoyed, she was becoming a bitch because
he didn't want to have sex. Great. He thought to himself. He wasn't going
to get into this tonight. The ride home was eerily quiet and neither of
them wanted to say anything to the other.  He pulled up to her house and he
looked to give her a kiss goodnight, but with no words she got out of the
car and walked up to her porch and went inside. Evan threw his head back
and sighed and headed home. It was close to midnight and he drove with a
lot on his mind. He pulled onto his street and in to his driveway, when he
saw a dark silhouette of someone leaning on the brick post of his
fence. "Excuse me, but this is private property."  He walked cautiously to
the figure not knowing what he was dealing with.
       "Oh sorry." The voice said his body slender with a little bit of
muscle. Evan recognized that voice.
       "Max?" He asked genuinely surprised.
       "Evan? Hi what are you doing out here?" Max asked being equally
surprised. Evan chuckled.
       "I live here. I can ask you the same question. What are you doing
out so late? It's almost midnight." Evan asked.
       "I just doing a little bit of jogging, you know just to clear my
head." Max said. Evan could still see his brown eyes shining in the dark.
       "Would you like some company? I could sure use time to clear my
head." Evan said. Max simply nodded and smiled. "Awesome, let me go
change." Evan smiled and bolted inside to get changed and Max stood outside
quietly. A few minutes later Max and Evan began jogging down the street
just chatting away. About a mile later they came to a park and decided it
was a good time for a break.
       "So Christy was absolutely pissed last night." Evan said
nonchalantly taking a seat on the bench, the moon was high in the night
sky.
       "Oh? Why?" Max asked slightly more concentrated on his running than
the current conversation.
       "I forgot last night was date night and she saw us driving away."
       "Shit. I'm sorry." Max said apologetically.
       "Nah, it isn't your fault. I don't know what's going on with her all
of sudden she always moody and pissed off at me for no apparent
reason. Maybe it's just her being a chick." Evan said sighing.
       "Or she could be pregnant." Max said seriously.
       "That's likely, I won't have sex with her. I mean it's not that I
don't want to but I've always been known to wait until I was ready and
until I was sure she was the right one. A year ago I would have gone for it
but I wasn't ready, but now I'm not so certain she's the right one. Here I
was thinking guys were pushy but boy was I wrong." Max just stayed quiet
but let out a soft chuckle. "What about you? Have you ever, you know?"
       "Me? N-no?" Max said completely caught off guard and let out a
nervous laugh.
       "Really? I'd think you'd have girls practically throwing themselves
at you. Perfect smile, deep brown eyes, and your build is amazing you're
skinny but you've got some muscle to you. Not to mention you're really down
to earth and easy to talk to." Evan found himself entranced by Max, who was
blushing like crazy. Evan caught himself before he would say something he
would regret. "I mean, not that I'm gay or anything." Max's smile wavered a
little bit.
       "Look, Evan." Max said, his mind was made up and now was the right
time to tell Evan what he needed to know. Evan had this comfort in his eyes
that made Max feel safe. "I need to tell you something." He took a deep
breath and revealed his secret before he had any second thoughts. "I'm gay
and now that you know that I would understand if you didn't want to be
friends anymore. You wouldn't be the first one." Max said jumping off the
bench and began to run away. It took a second for Evan to realize what just
happened and he bolted off the bench after the boy.
       "Max wait up!" Evan called to him, and put his football practice to
good use and took off in a sprint after him. He finally caught up with him
and grabbed his arm. "Max...please...stop." Evan said catching his breath.
       "What?" Max asked harshly his defenses was up fearing what Evan
wanted to do to him. Evan was still catching his breath. "Look I know what
you were going to say so just save us both the trouble."  Evan finally
stood straight up.
       "What was I going to say? Huh?" Evan said. "You took off before I
could even say anything. Look Max." Evan said gripping the smaller boys
shoulders. "I don't care. You can gay, straight, or whatever I pick my
friends no one else. I'm sorry that in the past you've dealt with jerk-offs
who leave you high and dry, but I won't do that." Evan said. Tears began
strolling down Max's face touched by Evan's compassion. "I've been taught
better." Evan said softly. He pulled the boy in for a hug and they stood
there in an embrace for a few moments before pulling apart. They began to
walk back. "Damn you're a fast runner."
       "Sometimes you have to be when your gay." Max responded.
       "Well, you can put that more practical use, no one will ever mess
with you not while I'm around.  I meant that before and I sure as hell mean
it now." Evan said trying to be serio-comical.
       "Thanks." Was the only word Max said.
