ACROSS THE STREET AND TWO DOORS DOWN by Spanky de Bautumn

They ended up rolling on the floor with Matt sitting on top of Jamie pinning his arms. Matt slowly started lowering his head, they were looking eye to eye, he was inches away from sealing the deal with a kiss when they heard the giggling of their sisters. “Oh man,” groaned Matt and they both sprang up and tried not to look frustrated and embarrassed when the girls came around the corner.

It was nearing six, they had been there eight hours, Jamie’s mom would have dinner ready at seven, so they decided it was time to go. It was kind of bittersweet for Jamie and Matt, they were really starting to like each other and didn’t want the magic to end.

The girls had worn themselves out and were asleep almost before they were out of the parking lot. This gave Matt the opportunity to slide over next to Jamie and put his hand on Jamie’s thigh.

“I really wanted to kiss you back there, but I hesitated because I didn’t know what you would do.”

Jamie looked at him, looked back to the road, then turned again and kissed Matt on the cheek before he realized what he was doing. He startled himself, but Matt took it as the green light and started to paw Jamie. Keeping one hand on the wheel, Jamie slapped at Matt and snapped, “Hey, I driving and the girls are right in the back seat.”

“I know, I know, I’m sorry. It’s just that you’ve been turning me on all day and I just want to eat you up.”

Jamie didn’t know what to say, nobody had ever treated him this way. “Well, at least keep your hands to yourself until we get home.”

“Okay, until we get home.”

Jamie always had a good feeling about himself, a positive attitude got him through some hard times. But the way Matt was making him feel was, was, well he just didn’t know, it was something he never felt before. He reached over and put his hand on top of Matt’s. Matt looked back and smiled.

A block before they got home Jamie woke the girls up and as soon as he turned the car off, they ran across the street to show Itsy’s mom their days take. Matt and Jamie sat silent for a minute, then Jamie said, “This has been an interesting day, to say the least, Matthew.”
