Tom
woke up disoriented. He looked around, felt Nick's head on his
shoulder, and remembered where he was. He leaned over and kissed
Nick, waking him up.
"I
should go." Tom whispered.
"You're
gonna sneak out on me?"
"If
I don't leave now you're going to have a lot of explaining to do."
"Guys
stay over at each other's houses, Tom." Nick said, "And who
cares if my parents know about you."
"I
guess."
Tom
laid back on the bed for fifteen minutes. He needed to get home to
get ready for school, but he wanted to spend every minute with Nick,
to spend the morning together. He cuddled up against Nick for as long
as he could.
Tom
climbed out of bed and pulled on his jeans. He grabbed Nick's hand
one more time, smiled at him, and tried to slip out of the house
unnoticed. He was outside, walking down the driveway toward his
truck, when Nick's dad walked out of the garage. He was a rough
looking guy, a little thick around the middle. Tom remembered Nick
telling him that he worked construction or something like that. His
stride conveyed friendliness, but also assertiveness and strength.
"Tom
right?"
"Yes,
sir." Tom said, trying to be polite.
"Listen,
I don't know what you've got going on with my son," he paused
and looked uncomfortable. "But, he's my boy, and if you mess him
up, you're going to have to deal with me."
"I'm,
uh, not going to mess him up, sir." Tom said, "Really."
"He's
changed since he started hanging out with you, for the better,"
he said, "I hope you understand what you mean to him."
"I
understand, really." Tom said. He looked at the ground and
blushed. "He, uh, he means a lot to me too."
Nick's
dad smiled. He took a step forward and grabbed Tom's shoulder. "No
more sleeping over, ok? House rules."
"Yes,
sir." Tom said.
