lucky, or if not, then it's probably pure coinsidence. (^_^) hehe...

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

James lay down on his bed, facing the ceiling of his room. The lights were
off and the moon's light coming from his window gave his room an eerie
shade of blue. It was around 1:00PM and he still hadn't slept yet. He was
thinking about what Miguel had said...

"I'm in love... with my girlfriend's BESTFRIEND!"

James couldn't get it out of his head. He kept on moving around in his bed,
trying to get rid of the thoughts. "Aargh! Why? Why!" he said through
gritted teeth, turning over and slamming the pillows. "Sally, I'm so
sorry..." he whispered, tears forming around his eyes. "It's my fault, it's
my damn fault!" he sighed, sobbing. He sat up and stared outside the
window. "I have to see him before he leaves tomorrow..." he looked over at
his clock and snickered a little, "make that today..."

It was a beautiful friday morning. The sun was up and the sky was blue with
little feathery clouds about. James didn't go to school that day, he lay
down on his bed, exhausted from thinking too much. It was around 10AM when
he decided to get out of bed and take a shower. Miguel's flight wasn't
until 2PM, so James decided to get to Miguel's house before he left. James
sighed as he approached Miguel's house. It was kind of big, with
two-storeys and a balcony. The general paint color was apricot and
blue. There was a mini-forest on the front lawn and a little playground in
the backyard.  James knocked on the door hesitantly, doubting if this was
such a good idea. The door opened, and James was relieved, at the same time
anxious that it was Miguel who answered the door.

"Oh! Hi..." Miguel said with a shocked look on his face.

"Hi..." James sighed a bit, "may I come in?"

"Sure! Sure..." Miguel said letting James in. "My folks aren't home,
they'll be meeting me at the airport. So what brings you here?" he asked
with a worried tone to his voice.

James sighed deeply and said, "I'm guessing that you might be gay or
bisexual,"

This gave Miguel a smirk around his face, "Duh..."

James continued, "So I just wanna know, why me? Sally's way more prettier
than me!" James expression now looked confused, Miguel saw this and put his
hands on James's shoulders. Although there was a little fear in his heart,
James didn't move because he needed answers.

"You really wanna know?" Miguel asked, looking deep in James's eyes. James
nodded slightly.

Miguel sighed ands said, "The truth is I don't know... when I was in love
with Sally, I thought: Man, this is the girl of my dreams; but then I saw
you more often, because you are her bestfriend. I didn't really pay much
attention to you back then, but ever since I got to see you more, God! It
was like, who is this guy. I wanted to really know you more than I should."
Miguel was trembling now, and his expression was full of worry, "Do you
remember that day the three of us went to the beach together? Sally was off
somewhere collecting sea shells, and you were right there infront of me,
stripping down to your bathing trunks. I was like so damn mesmerized! Your
abs, your chest, your cute little butt, not to mention the way you smile
when your just plain cheerful or when you make a stupid mistake." Miguel
was now starting to get misty-eyed, "I didn't know back then but I starting
to fall for you! Of course, I still had feelings for Sally, but more and
more, my love for her decreased, and my feelings for you grew bigger and
bigger each day. I didn't know, until I looked into your eyes when you
fainted that day at basketball practice, and I took my time wiping the
sweat off your whole body. I knew right there and then, that I was in love
with you!" Miguel sobbed, pushing forward, giving James a soft kiss.

James was shocked, this was the first time he actually got a kiss. Miguel
moved his hands down from James's shoulder, to his chest, then around his
body in a tight embrace. James didn't know what to do, he was confused. But
then a feeling just came over him a he returned the kiss. Thier tongues
moving around each others mouths which lasted for what seemed like 5
minutes. Suddenly, James pulled away, breathing deeply and with confusion
all over his eyes.

"I... I'm sorry..." Miguel solemnly said. He expected James to run and
never look back, but he was still there, looking confused. Then he said,

"It's ok... we all have our moments." He smiled that smile that drove
Miguel crazy. "What time are you leaving again? I'm here to see you off."

Miguel was moved with joy that he embraced James tight. James returned the
hug, it was non-sexual, more brotherly than intimate. At the airport as the
plane was starting to board, Miguel gave James a short sweet kiss, James
didn't respond, but he didn't turn away either.

Staring our the giant glass window of the airport, James watched Miguel's
plane leave and he sighed saying. "Goodbye... my friend..."
