Edwin was at his college, practicing his game along with his teammates. He was so tired with his long practicing hours, and with his part time job but he was sure that he shouldn’t neglect his practice till the competition got finished.
His coach walked towards him, when he was on the chair, relaxing himself for a few minutes. He said “Edwin, tomorrow you should go to the organizers and give them the list of the sports, the names of our teammates, and all other related things.”
It added more to his already stressed state. There was an organisation that organizes the events partnered with almost all the top colleges, and every year, it was them, who kept organizing every competition. Unlike the regular organisations, it not sponsored only one college but many. And there were many of the organisations like them, that were partnered with few other colleges.
“Why can’t you send some other? Coach, I...”
“Don’t sa
Kate and Jacob, were in a restaurant talking to eachother. Kate was so angry on Jacob as he said he was going away for only two days but he took so long to return and Jacob was convincing his little angry bird.As usual, Edwin and Ace, were guarding them while eavesdropping their conversation. Ace was getting irritated with their stupid conversation whereas Edwin was enjoying it.“Too much drama.” Ace rolled his eyes.“Everything is a drama to you.” Edwin scoffed.“Oh man, I can understand the feeling of crush and love, as...” Ace was about to slip his tongue while recalling his memories with Brad, yet he controlled himself. He continued “But they both are doing too much drama. I wonder how you are enjoying it. What more, you hate my friend too.”“Of course. But Kate is so happy with him. As long as she is happy, I try to support them.”Ace shook his head, sideways, averting h
Ace and Edwin’s relationship kept growing, with each day. Whenever Kate and Jacob, planned any secret meet, Ace and Edwin guarded them as a result they both got the time for themselves to talk, to create a bond between them.They both saved their numbers with other names so that any of their friends or the college mates would notice it. They began talking over the phone sometimes if anything needed but only for a few seconds. But how much they treat eachother, normally, they were always the rivals as long as they belonged to the opposite colleges.Ace’s feelings on Edwin was increasing that confused him. He didn’t know when he fell for Edwin but all he knew was he was getting attracted to him so much and he felt like he wanted him. He was afraid to accept his feelings on Edwin. Moreover, he didn’t know what his exact feelings were.Ace, Jacob and Freddie, were in Ace’s guesthouse, enjoying themselves with loud music, booze and danci
Ace and Jacob, were shocked to hear Olivia’s approval for date with Freddie. Although, it was the least thing that concerned Ace, he didn’t like his friend to hangout with the girl, who was insane.“Are you really sure you want to be with her?” Ace made a disgusted face.“Oh, please don’t make that face, Ace.” Freddie shook his head.“Come on bro, you’ll get a better girl.” Ace tried to convince him but Freddie didn’t want to listen to him.“Ace, don’t tell me you are jealous.” Freddie chuckled.“Fuck you, dude. Do whatever you want with her. I don’t care.” He rolled his eyes.Jacob and Freddie started to laugh with Ace's irritation. Freddie got a call from Olivia, and started to talk to her, walking away from there. Jacob also involved in texting Kate, leaving Ace in his thoughts.For some unknown reason, he remembered Edwin. He noti
After taking bath, Edwin looked at the clothes to pick. He kept smiling while remembering it was valentine’s day and he was going to meet Liam. Taking a white shirt along with a formal pant, which Liam always loved on him, Edwin got dressed. His cell phone kept continuously buzzing with the messages from his friends, asking him to reach college soon. As he was the volunteer, he had works, which needed to be taken care of. Ignoring his friends' messages and calls, he kept staring at his chat with Liam. Their late-night conversation of valentine’s wishes to eachother. Then he opened his gallery and zoomed in Liam’s picture to kiss him. After a few minutes, he left to his college. Edwin was involved in organizing the event, looking after the decorations and every other thing. He spent all the day there, kept himself busy with the works. In the evening, he got ready in his college hostel as it would take time to go home and return. The party was started and every
Edwin couldn’t sleep that night. Although Ace promised him that he wouldn’t tell anyone, Edwin didn’t feel peaceful. He wasn’t ready to trust Ace, completely. A part of him kept saying Ace would bring trouble to him one way or other.He was at his home, still thinking about the incident that happened at the park. He wanted to tell Liam about that but he kept refraining himself from doing so. As Liam would get definitely angry, Edwin was not ready to tell him about that but his inner self kept pestering him to share it with Liam.He tried to sleep ignoring everything but the attempt was going unsuccessful. Sometime in the late night, he dozed off.“He is a gay. Not one of us.” Everyone in his college, started pointing him.“We are not going to play along with him.” His teammates began going away from him. With all the ignorance, Edwin’s heart got broken and tears formed in
The fact that Edwin was a gay was still unbelievable to Ace. It was a great shock to him. Another secret added into his list to carry it till the end. A part of him kept telling to share his secret with Edwin. In his entire life, he never shared about his secret to anyone but realizing Edwin was also the kind of guy like him, Ace deeply wanted to share it as he clearly knew Edwin would understand. Although he wanted to do it, he kept refraining himself from doing that.Edwin was deeply hurt with Liam’s words and anger. He tried to convince Liam but he wouldn’t listen that hurt Edwin more. It was his tenth time calling Liam but he wasn’t answering. Irritated with him, Edwin texted : You don’t want me to come to your office, do you?After a minute, Liam called him, shouting “So, are you blackmailing me, now?”“Blackmail? Li, please. I’m sorry for whatever that happened. But we can’t change it, right?”
Out of curiosity, Ace got out of the car. From a distance, he started to follow Liam. He was stunned to see Liam’s closeness with the girl. He thought he was over imagining but when they wouldn’t stop kissing eachother, many doubts arose in him. They both seemed to involve in an intimate relationship. Without getting noticed by them, Ace sat on the table behind them, eavesdropping their conversation. “I can’t wait for more days, baby. It’s already late.” The girl spoke. “Even I can’t wait. But I have things to take care of before our marriage.” Ace was dismayed hearing him. It was the thing that he clearly unexpected. “Liam, come on. We have been in a relationship for more than two years, how many years do we still have to wait?” Every word they spoke, shocked Ace. As far as he knew, Ace and Edwin were in a relationship from not more than a year. Was he cheating on the girl? That was the first thought that entered into Ace’s head.
Edwin couldn’t control himself. His heart was broken and he felt his world was torn apart. Liam was his first love, which he thought would stay with him forever. Knowing it as a fake relationship, he was unable to control his anger not only on Liam but on himself.He ran his fingers through his hair, pulling it in frustration while leaned to Ace’s car. Everything around him was sickening him. Ace reached towards him and looking at Edwin in such position, Ace got upset. He stood beside Edwin and pulled him into a gentle embrace giving the comfort Edwin needed.“Why?” Edwin mumbled, crying.“Because he doesn’t deserve you.” Ace replied still holding him.Edwin stood straight, mumbling “I loved him so much. I never expected this.”They both stood silent for a minute. Edwin was sobbing while Ace stood like a statue as he had no idea how to comfort him. Ace asked “What do you want to do now?&rd
