A Wave Of Desire

Ocean

We decided to go to shopping just after breakfast. We were smart about it though. We made sure to appear as just friends while we were out. It did make me remember that date we had gone on though. I really did have fun that day, even if I was nervous as hell. To be honest I would love to-.. I mean I wouldn't mind going on another date with him.

We could go to the beach, or to see another movie, or just out to dinner. Then again, unless we left the city and went somewhere like LA, we wouldn't really be able to do much even if we were on a date.

I had been thinking about all of this while we were looking for the food that we would want to have over the weekend. Apparently, Makai had this big plan for what we could eat for lunch today and tomorrow, dinner tonight, and even breakfast tomorrow. It was a lot of stuff, but I could tell that Makai was really looking forward to it all. Not to mention that I would be able to cook with him again and that was a good thing.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Ryan came up to us as we were heading toward the check out. "You're shopping together now?" He laughed at us lightheartedly.

"Can you believe that I called this guy up to hang out and he was floundering, unable to figure out what to eat all weekend because his parents were gone to visit his aunt again." Makai had thought up a cover story for us really quickly. I just wish that his excuses didn't make me look like an idiot.

"Haha. That's hilarious." Ryan was grinning. "What, can't you cook?"

"I can. A little." I blushed as I answered him sheepishly.

"No, he can't. There was a time recently that he tried cooking and destroyed the whole kitchen." Makai was laughing his ass off at my predicament like it was truly hilarious.

"Hey, I never had to cook before." I frowned at him and narrowed my eyes while he and Ryan laughed.

"Hey, Ryan, I got it." Ben had called out to him as he ran up to us. "Oh hey, you're here too."

"Yeah, Kai is helping little baby Ocean with his shopping since he can't cook. Though that's some pretty intricate food for someone who can't cook." Ryan eyeballed the food that we had in the basket.

"That's because I am going to cook it for him." Makai gestured toward me. "If I left this up to him to cook, I be hauled into the police station for manslaughter and arson charges because I left him alone in a kitchen."

The three of them were laughing so hard that I could tell they were having a hard time standing up. I just knew that this was going to go on for a long time. Dammit, why did this have to happen? Why did they have to be here and almost ruin everything?

"What are you two doing here?" I asked them as a way to end the laughter.

"Oh, we're going to the beach, so we stopped for some supplies." Ryan's words were so matter of fact that it seemed like he was just telling me that the sun was up, and that we were living on planet earth. And even if that were so, I could still see the massive grin on Ben's face. He was happier about this trip to the beach than he was letting on.

"That sounds like fun." Makai's eyes turned a little wistful.

"You two want to come?" instantly that light in Ben's eyes faded and he was just looking at me as if he wanted to tell me not to come with them.

"Nah, I think we should head back to my place. Makai is going to make my rations for the weekend then he's gotta run home too." I did my best to make things easier on Ben and I saw that he was wearing a grateful smile.

"Yeah, I can see how your food is a little more important than going with us. Maybe next time." Ryan looked a little disappointed, but only for a moment. After that he and Ben started to get the rest of their beach provisions and were out of sight in moments.

"That was nice of you." Makai smiled at me.

"What?" I didn't know what it was that he was talking about.

"You know what I mean. You helped Ben out there." Makai knew it too, but he and I were both trying to stay quiet about it.

"Yeah, I know. I thought that he deserved some alone time with Ryan." I thought about how much I enjoyed having Makai around and thought about Ben. If he felt even a fraction of what I did then he would definitely want to be alone with the guy that he liked.

We finished our shopping, paid for the food and were about to leave when we were stopped by someone that we really shouldn't have had anything to say to.

"Ocean?"

The person who had called me was Giovani Parisi, he was one of our rivals from St. Reece's.

"Gio?" I was shocked when he called out to me. We had gone to middle school together but when we went to different high schools, we drifted apart.

"Hey, I'm glad you're here. I am having a party in two weeks. You know, the weekend after Thanksgiving. I was hoping that you'd come." He was smiling at me like he used to when we were kids. It was hard to turn down that look in his eyes.

"I don't know. I mean, won't the others be a little upset about me being there?" I didn't need our rivals trying to take their anger out on me.

"Nah, it should be fine. Come on, say yes. Please!" He was literally starting to beg me.

"I think he's a little bit nervous to be the only guy from our school there. How about I come with him?" Makai butted in, saving the day for me once again. I could kiss him right now, you know, if we weren't in public that is.

"Yeah, that's fine. We don't want the whole team to be there, that would be a little much. But you and I used to be friends so come on, come to the party. The both of you. Please."

I was literally backed into a corner here, but he did say that Makai could come with me. That alone should make things easier on me.

"Yeah, OK, I'll be there."

"Awesome. Let me get your number and I will send you all the details."

Thankfully, that was the last interruption before we left the store. We were now free to go back to my place and have our weekend alone together. I was actually looking forward to being alone with Makai at my place now. I know that the location didn't really make that much of a difference, but it would still be a little different than when we were at his place.

Not to mention, the 'physical' aspect of our relationship started in my bed, but we've still never done 'that' in my bed. Not that it will change anything about it, still I wanted to try it at least once.

Dammit, am I some kind of pervert freak now? Every single time that I am alone with Makai I start to think about sex. I envision his naked body and the way that it feels under my fingertips. I start to think about the things that he does to me, and the things that I do to him. And the things that we do to each other. It was all exciting but is usually left it so that I couldn't be anywhere in public. Good thing that we were in his car right now. I didn't need to explain why the outline of a certain part of my body was bulging more than a little.

Yeah, I think that just about settles it. I am some overly horny deviant freak. What the hell had he done to me? Did he corrupt me with his passionate love making? I could be a total doofus and say it was what he left in me, and on me, but that would just to be a little too disgusting and groan worthy. It wouldn't even be something that I could bring myself to laugh at.

I was glad when we pulled back into my driveway. I needed to get back inside and away from people who might start thinking that I was something that was too dangerous to leave out in the public. They would start to follow me around and try to capture me so that they could lock me up in the loony bin.

"GAH!"

GAH! I screamed internally and out loud at the same time.

"Stop being a drama queen and help me with your groceries." Makai laughed as he got out of the car. He didn't know how lucky he was, being so confident in himself meant that it was easier for him to roll with the punches like he often did. "Come on." He called out to me again as he stuck his head into the car.

He already had all the bags, so I just shut the car door and followed him inside. Whatever was going to happen would happen, no matter what I did to help or hinder it.. I might as well embrace it and deal with things as they come.
