THE PREACHER'S SON ✝

Episode Four

School was stressful, and being the head prefect made it worst.

I was glad my responsibilities for the day was over, so I retired to my crib.

I heard the sound of a running shower and remembered I wasn't alone anymore.

I sat on the bed to pull off my shoe when the bathroom door was opened and Maurice came out in just his boxer briefs.

"Hey, Victor! You're back." Maurice said, drying him body with a towel.

He stopped when he got no answer from me, and again, I was drooling.

"You know a compliment would be better than eye-raping me." Maurice teased.

"Huh! I wasn't eye-raping you." I defended myself.

"Cut the pretense already. I know about your sexuality." Maurice said, putting on a sweatpant.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I tried defending myself one more time, but failed, as I began to stutter.

"You're gay. And you know it." Maurice said to my face.

"No!" I said firmly.

"You are!" Maurice insisted.

"No ooo!" I yelled.

I woke up and I was sweating profusely.

My phone was ringing, and it was Morgan's contact.

"Sh!t" I cussed.

It was 10am already. I picked up.

"Hey!"

"I'm at your house and I've been ringing your door bell. Ain't you home?" Morgan asked.

"Can you give me two minutes? I'll be down soon." I said, hanging up.

I quickly rushed into the bathroom and took a quick shower.

I opened the door and apologized for keeping him waiting, leading him to the piano.

"So, what song do you have in mind?" I asked, booting the piano.

"Ohhh! That. I didn't really come for that." Morgan replied.

I raised my eyebrows in confusion.

"I know I said I was coming for some vocal stuff." Morgan said, rolling his eyes, sensing my confusion.

"Okayyy??" I asked, still confused, hoping he'll get straight to the point.

"Okay...... I see the way you look at me in church." He said, finally, and I bit my lip and bowed my head in embarrassment.

"Ehhhmmmm....." I stuttered, not knowing what to say.

I was scared already since he knows my secret now.

"You don't have to say anything though. I feel the same way, so boyfriends?" Morgan asked.

I had mixed feelings.

I remembered the dream I had earlier and my past experience, but I pushed them aside.

"Yes!" I replied.
