Thirty-One
Preston was in the kitchen making a special dinner for Robert. He couldn't believe it had been a month since they had officially started dating. It had been the happiest month of his life. He still felt guilty about the way Ann Marie found out, but he wasn't going to let her ruin this for him. The relationship he had with Robert was the best thing that had happened to Preston since he came out. Preston had decided that tonight was the night he was going to have sex with Robert. He loved Robert and he was ready for them to take that next step in their relationship. He was hoping that Robert felt the same way he did too. As Preston got to working on making dinner, he realized he didn't know what he was doing. Nothing he was doing was coming out, as it should. He was starting to get frustrated; he needed help so he went to Vera's apartment. He was hoping Vera would be home. Preston walked up to Vera's door and knocked, he saw his cousin Xavier.
"Where is Vera?" Preston said as he let himself into the apartment.
"She is getting ready, what are you covered in?" Xavier said as he brushed off some flour off his shoulder.
"I need her help with making dinner and its flour, I dropped the bag and it went everywhere."
"What are you making or should I say trying to make?"
"Chicken parmesan and a triple chocolate cake from starch, they happen to be Robert's favorites."
"Well your first mistake was trying to make something you have never tried to make yourself." Vera said as she joins them in the living room, but when she saw Preston.
"I have seen Robert make it plenty of times; I didn't think it was going to be that hard."
"How big of a mess did you leave in the kitchen?"
"Let's just say that if Robert was to come home right now he would flip out."
"What did you do in there?" Vera walked out of her apartment before even letting Preston answer her question and went into their place. When she walked into the kitchen, she stopped dead in her tracks. She had never seen a mess this bad before, and she knew if Robert saw it this way he was going to be beyond pissed.
"Oh my god Preston, what happened in here?"
"I don't know, somewhere along the way things started to go downhill. Vera please I need your help and cleaning up in here and making dinner." Preston looked at her with his sad puppy dog eyes; that's how he can get his way all the time.
"Ok fine, you and Xavier are going to start cleaning up and I will get started on making dinner. What time is Robert coming home from work?"
"I think he should be here around ten." Vera looked at the clock they did have much time.
"We only have three hours, so hurry up and start cleaning up. I don't have enough time to make you a triple chocolate cake, but I do have a tray of brownies I just made that you can have."
"Oh thank you yes that will work and I am sorry that I am ruining the evening. I know you and Zay were supposed to be going out."
"Hey don't worry about it, you're my friend and you always help a friend in need. Besides you're going to be making it up to me anyway."
"Don't forget you owe me too Preston." Xavier said.
"I know and whenever y'all need a favor I will be there for you guys."
"Yeah you better be, this was our last night here before we go home for Christmas. I was really looking forward to those brownies too." Xavier said.
"I know and I'm so so sorry, I'll make it up to I promise."
"Oh trust me you are, here you can finish, Vera wants me to go get my brownies and give them to you."
"You're never going to let that go are you?"
"Nope" Xavier said as he walked out of the apartment. Preston went over to where Vera was, to see if she needed his help.
"You need help with anything?"
"No I'm almost done, but you can go set the table."
"Ok" Preston went to set the table, as he was finishing up Vera walked in with the food and set it on the table.
"Ok Preston here is the food and I will be on my way. Robert should almost be on his way."
"Thanks again Vera, I don't know what I would do without your help."
"Um I think you would have made Robert sick, because he wouldn't have passed up a meal made by his amorcito."
"How you know he calls me that?"
"What part of we are like best friends did you not understand?"
"I think you two talks about me too much."
"Aw come on he just loves you, you should feel special; someone other than your mom talks about you like that."
"I guess you're right. I never told anyone this but the first time I meet you I was jealous of you. I thought you were Robert's girlfriend."
"Shut up for real?" Vera started laughing.
"Yeah, when he told me he was bringing an old family friend, I just assumed it was code for girlfriend. The whole time I was waiting I was hoping you would at least be semi ugly, but when I saw how beautiful you were it just made me even more jealous."
"You're such a silly boy."
"Ha I know, Vera when did you realized Robert liked me?"
"The first day I met you."
"Really, but I didn't even see it?"
"I have known Robert for a long time, even though I made his life miserable while we were growing up. That day I was with you two, I could see how happy he was just being around you and how happy you were to be with him too. I know at the time he didn't even realize it himself, but I knew that you two would end up together."
"Really I don't believe that, how could anyone know what was going to happen?"
"Believe it or not, you two were meant to be together. Don't you find it weird how you two met? I mean he was going out with your cousin, so you were bound to meet at some point, but you two met on a chance encounter. Had you two met through Ann Marie, he wouldn't have got to know you and he would have never fallen in love with you or vice verses. So I believe it was fate that let you two run into each other that day."
"Well you do have a point there. I don't think I could imagine how life would be right now if I hadn't met him."
"Me neither, OK I'm heading out, hope you two have a nice evening and don't forget we are leaving bright and early."
"Ok see you tomorrow morning." Preston said as he let Vera out and went into the bathroom to freshen up.
It was late in the evening when Robert got out of work. It was the last day of work until he returned next semester. Tomorrow they were all heading home and wouldn't be back for about a month. Robert walked into the apartment and found it dark; the only light came from two candles that were on the table. When he got to the table, he found his favorite food. He smiled; he couldn't believe Preston went through all this trouble just to make him a home cook meal.
"I hope you like it; it was a lot of work."
"It smells and looks delicious, I love it thank you amorcito," Robert kissed him, when Robert broke the kiss he made his way to the table to sit, but before he could Preston stopped him.
"I want to show you something before we eat." Preston dragged him into the living room and sat him down on the couch. Preston straddled Robert and looked deep into his eyes.
"I know we have only been going out for a month, but when I'm with you everything just feels right. I want to take the next step in our relationship." Preston starts to kiss Robert passionately then slowly moves down his neck as he unbuttons Robert's shirt and moves on to undo his belt but Robert stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Preston asked, as he looked confused as to why Robert stopped him.
"You don't have to do this Amor."
"I know I don't have to, I want to because I love you. Don't you want to sleep with me?" Preston looked into Robert's eyes to see why he was turning him down.
"Amorcito I would love nothing more than to be with you, but we don't have to rush things, we have forever to be together." Preston felt like an idiot and embarrassed, he got off Robert and went into the kitchen. Robert could see Preston was embarrassed and went after him. He grabbed his hand and pulled him into his arms. He held him tight and whispered into his ear.
"Hey what's wrong?" Preston sighed and turned his face so Robert couldn't see the tears that were forming in his eyes.
"I just feel like an idiot for thinking you would sleep with me."
"Amorcito don't feel that way, I love you and I just want our first time to be really special. I want our relationship to be about love and not have to rely on sex to keep us together. I don't know how long you and Grant waited to have sex, but I feel like if we do it now it would change our relationship. It's too early for us to take that step." Preston forced himself out of Robert's arms, and then he turned to face him.
"Don't you find me sexually attractive?" Preston asked through his sobs.
"Amor of course I do, like I said I want our first time to be special." Robert stepped closer to Preston, but he took a step back.
"It never stopped you before, with all the other girls you dated. Does the fact that I am a boy gross you out too much to consider having sex with me?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Preston regretted saying them, when he saw the blank expression on Robert's face.
"Robert I'm sorry I didn't really mean to say that, I just feel like an idiot." Robert felt bad he really did love Preston. He knew turning him down like that had hurt his feelings. Robert pulled preston into his arms.
"Your right it has never stopped me before, but I was never in love with any of them. I didn't care how long or how it would affect our relationship. I love you too much to have it all ruined by having sex so soon."
"I know I love you too and I'm sorry." Robert pulled back and cupped Preston's face in his hands, wiping away his tears.
"You don't need to be sorry for anything, now come on I want to try this delicious meal my amorcito made for me." Preston smiled back at him and kissed him on the lips.
"Ok come on, I must confess I had Vera helping me, I didn't want to poison you with my bad cooking."
"Aw I still would have tried it and I wouldn't have cared if I got sick. You would be here to take care of me anyway." Preston started to laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"Vera was right; she said you would have eaten the food I made, even if it looked terrible."
"That's how you know that I really am in love with you."
"Yeah that's true; well don't worry its good because Vera wouldn't let me help."
"I guess I'm going to have to give you some more cooking lessons then."
"Yeah you are, because I want to cook for my man once in a while."
"Ok amorcito" Robert kissed him and pulled out Preston's seat for him. Then he took his seat across from Preston and dug into the meal.
