Chapter 23: Second Guessing

Omniscient Narrative

Kai watched Aries as the light skin man stared hard at the television screen, watching whatever was showing.

Robert had left the two of them a while back, to give them some 'privacy', hoping the smaller man would go through with what they had discussed.

His thoughts kept adverting to the conversation he had with Robert, as his fingers fidget nervously, his leg bouncing up and down.

'should I really use Aries' the older dark skin man thought as he looked hardly at Aries, he shook his head before he let out a sigh.

"You've been sighing a lot and you keep bouncing your legs" Aries turned to look at the nervously looking man, who by the way also looked like he was about to shit his pants, Aries eyed the little beads of sweat that were forming on the man's forehead. "What's going on Kai" he asked, a small frown forming on his face as he gave Kai his full attention.

"Huh?" The blond man was snapped out of his thoughts.

"You sighed..." Aries spoke lowly like he was speaking to a child.

"For the like millionth time since we started watching the show" he added looking at Kai worriedly.

"And you keep bouncing your legs vigorously Kai, you're even sweating and the AC is on" Aries pointed to the man's shaking legs and then around the house indicating the room was cold.

"It's..." Kai started but stoped himself to let out yet another sigh. "..it's nothing, just keep watching the show please" Kai said giving him a fake smile.

It was now time for Aries to let out a sigh, there was no way he was believing the smaller man.

"You sure?" Aries asked unconvinced, the smaller man could smile all hard right now but he knew it was fake. He had learnt to master the difference between Kai's fake smile and his real one.

"Yeah" Kai answered shortly, trying to push the conversation from him and hoped for Aries to drop it.

"Alright then" was all that left Aries mouth as he leaned back to the couch, but not before looking at the smaller man for a brief moment, trying to see if the other man would open up to him, but after a few seconds of the man avoiding his eyes he just shook his head and faced his front, letting the previous discussion slide.

With another annoying sigh Kai layed back on the chair, making Aries eye twitch with irritation.

He did not understand why the man wouldn't just tell him what was happening, if he was sighing so much it meant he wants to let it out of his chest.

Yet the man was sitting beside him all rigid and clearly bothered by something.

'Would he even want to be with me in that way?' Kai thought as he looked at Aries through the side of his eyes.

He couldn't help but let his eyes roam up and down the light skin man's body, taking in the beauty that was beside him.

'He is handsome' Kai thought as he stared at Aries face, his eyes moving from the man's lips to his nose, to his jawline and back to his two toned lips.

'And he healthy, one night won't hurt...' he mentally shrugged, as his eyes shifted to the man's body, his eyes accidentally staring harder on the man's crotch, he could see the outline of the man's bulge.

'damn' the smaller man cursed as he watched Aries shift a bit, fixing the crotch area in his pants.

'Fuck you Robert' Kai mentally groaned.
