Chapter: 33.******Steven had just woken up to the blinding lights that seem to pierce his very soul, he felt weak and tired.What had happened to me? He wondered, his vision blurry, memory fleeting. He couldn't remember a thing. With much struggle, he sat up and looked around him. Well, wherever he was is most certainly not his bedroom. Steven looked down at his clothing and discovered they were that of a hospital gown.What the fuck! He mentally yelled. Where the heck is David? His heart was throbbing in his chest. Panic getting ahold of him. Steven wanted to call out for help, but his voice came out like that of a broken record. He couldn't hear his own voice.God, what is going on? He could feel his eyes going misty. He was going to cry. He didn't know why he was filled with agony. The feeling of loss was too profound that his head couldn't understand it. Somehow he felt like a newborn like he's never seen the word before. He seems not to have a memory of where he was and what ha
Chapter: 34.*******Steven went back to reading, the words blurry but he tired. Whatever was going on, would be explained by this note. So he read. Hey baby! I know what you’re thinking right now, don't worry too much I'll tell you everything. God, I'll miss you so much! I'm so sorry for what happened. Raya had you shot and you were going to die from excessive bleeding in your chest. I couldn't let that happen, baby, so I-I. God, this is so difficult to write. Steven, I shot myself so you could have a change of heart. That's right baby, I gave you my heart. See! You're not totally alone. You've got me, forever. Living inside of you. That's where I belong. That's home. That's where I am meant to be.I'm sorry if you don't understand any of this, but in time you'll do. Go on living for me baby. Please!I need you to stay alive, for me. For us.You're my world, Steven. The sex, love and all that we shared would always be a memory I'd die for over and over and over again. And I m
Chapter: 1*******“Steven!""Steven!!""My goodness, where is that boy?" The woman paused, pushing a stay lock of hair behind her ear. "Steven!""Yes! What is it, mother?""What! Don't tell me you've been in there all this time and I've been shouting on top of my lungs." Mrs. Mebel scolded."I'm sorry mum, I was lost in my own thoughts.""What is bothering you son? You're not the type to look dead and mostly to be lost in thoughts. Something's changed in you and I want to know what that is. What is it, son? You know you can tell me anything.""Yes mother I know, but I'm not so sure about this one. I don't want to share it with anyone."I might even die with it, gladly die with it."That's nonsense son, you've to share it with me. They say a problem shared is a problem half solved. If you don't tell me or anyone else, it keeps hurting you." Mrs. Mebel tried talking her son into telling her."Mum.""Yes, what is it? Trust your mother and tell her.""OK mum, but maybe later we could tal
Chapter: 2.******Steven was dancing to his favorite music when he got a call on his cell phone. First, he loves dancing and he wouldn't stop even if it were his mother on the line, but when he saw the caller he stopped, paused his music and went to answer it."Hello!""Hey! My main village man. How are you?" Said the melody's voice from the other end and Steven found himself smiling. Steven loves David and they have been friends since forever, in fact, they were both born in the same hospital, the same day and they were both laid in a bed beside each other. Their mothers were in the same room on a bed beside each other when the babies were brought to them. It was as if fate had brought them together. The parents bonded after that ordeal and they had grown to be inseparable, almost brothers. When their fathers had crashed on a plane 10 years ago. They had been each other's backbones and the reason their mothers are still alive. He has missed his best friend and was so happy to hear f
Chapter: 3.*****What is wrong with me? Let's just pretend none of that happened earlier and I wish Raya wasn't married to David. "What!" Where did that come from? I can't stay here and certainly can't feel something for my best-friend’s wife, it's wrong and a sin.Nothing seems to be working the way Steven wanted it right now. He stayed up turning and tossing around making a mess of the king-sized bed. He never knew when he eventually fell asleep. Steven wished it never happened but David came right in and bounced on him waking him up with a jolt. Now that was a really cruel way to wake someone up and being so angry David did that, Steven threw David off of him and had him pinned down on the bed. When he eventually let go of his hand they both had a good pillow fight that got the pillows open and flying all around the place. For two grown men like his mother used to say, they sure know how to play like kids. He guesses it's part of them, something that makes them special, something
Chapter: 4. *****"I am sorry David but I can't stay, I've got some packing to do." Even if Steven hasn't unpacked yet, he has a flight to book for tomorrow. Just as he walked into the living room Steven saw Raya, she stood there looking into his wet blue eyes then she ran into his arms and went on her knees.What is wrong with this woman?She cried begging Steven not to leave. Obviously, she was eavesdropping on them all along."You know it's bad eavesdropping on other people's conversations and please get up.""What is going on?""I won't answer a woman on her knees." She got on her feet and pleaded for Steven to look at her in the eyes, just this once. She was right although Steven would never forget her, he still needed just one last gaze of her. Steven looked into her eyes and he froze."Tell me, what is going on?""Raya I'm leaving tomorrow and I am glad you're in David's life now, don't forget he loves you very much, so take good care of him for me. I love him so much." Steven
Chapter: 5.*****The airport taxi was already waiting for Steven by the time he got out. The drive to the airport made him wish he'd never travel again. The taxi sucks. The air was so fucking hard to breathe in. Eventually, they made it to the airport and once Steven was ready to go on board, the sight of the plane made him want to throw up the little of what's left from last night. Steven might never board a plane for the rest of his life again.I think I'm going to be sick.That is if I made it home alive.What did I ever do wrong? Why did my sick heart have to love someone else's wife? David hates his guts, he would never speak to him again, his face this morning told Steven more than enough.? How would he go on living knowing too well that David is no longer part of his life?It's no longer D&S.It's just him.What could be worse? His life right before his eyes is fading away, there would be no one to talk to, no one to share his pain and worries with. Never had he ever thought a
Chapter: 6. *****"Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you.""As you can see, I'm getting my favorite fruit. What do you want?""To see your beautiful eyes.""Yeah right! Think I don't know sarcasm when I hear it. Seriously though, what do you want?""Have you seen Raya? Can't find her anywhere.""I think she went off to get some things.""Just tell her I'm off to a meeting. Not sure when I will be back, tell her not to hold lunch for me.""Mmm." Steven moaned as he took a big bite of his apple. "So good!""Go easy on that apple, you're a grown man.""Quit sounding like my mother, you're no different, Mr grown man."David smacked him hard on the head and ran off while Steven chased after him but he was faster and was already in his car pulling off by the time Steven got out."I'd reserve that slap for you when you get back, you egghead!" Steven yelled and saw David flip him the finger.A few minutes later Raya walked into the kitchen, carrying bags in both hands."Nee
