Lizzie and Theo leave my house and I end up falling asleep on my couch waiting for Aleister.  He said he'd text me when he was on his way but it was 11 o clock and I was tired.  Before I went to sleep Carson and I planned on going to the beach tomorrow so that's something to be excited about.

I wake up to the pitch black because I hear something fall.  "If you're a ghost or something could you please not right now because I'm tired."

I hear Aleister respond, "Well at least you said please."

I sit up after hearing this angel's voice.  I see him and my mom fixing her hair.  She probably didn't expect for him to be at the door.

My mom smiles brightly at him, "Mr. Blackwell, what a pleasure to see you, we can go upstairs for some privacy if that's what you'd like."

He coughs and fixes his tie, "You might want to sit down."

"Uh okay?" She says more as a question.

I've never wanted to go play in traffic more than this moment right now.

Al sits next to me on the couch.  He takes a deep breath, "Alexandria, the person I am seeing isn't a woman."

She stares at him with shock in her eyes.  She looks completely taken aback.

She squinches her face, "Who is it then?"

I shake my hands in a jazz-hands kind of way, "Suprise!"

My voice came out awkward and I puckered my lips waiting for a response.

She looks as if her Rabbit, Puffles, just died all over again.

"Nate," she wines.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I should've told you I just... It was complicated."

She shakes her head, "If this is a fucking joke it's not funny."

I feel extremely terrible right now. She's honestly done nothing wrong. The only thing she's ever done was say mean things to me but she didn't know it was me and she was just trying to get something she wanted. I knew she had a crush on him and yet I still went for it.

Al leans forward and crosses his fingers together, he gets really serious and I know this is the Aleister that is a multi-millionaire lawyer that has made a name for himself. This is the Aleister that closes a business deal. This Aleister is serious.

Is it bad that I'm slightly turned on right now?

His voice comes out very gentle and caring, "Alexandria, I am deeply sorry. I didn't know that I would have these feelings, it just kind of happened. I truly believe that something special will come out of this relationship and if I didn't think so, I wouldn't have pursued it. You were not meant to get hurt in any way shape or form. If you want to call me names and get mad at me, that is fine but don't get mad at Nathaniel, I take blame for any troubles this might have caused you."

Damn that was professional.

I can see my mom is trying not to cry.

She looks at me, then back at Aleister.

"Do you love my son," her voice comes out squeaky.

Al closes his eyes and nods.

She sniffs, "Okay, I need to go upstairs and think about this. I will see you at work tomorrow. Goodnight to the both of you."

She walks upstairs and quietly closes the door.

I gulp, "Are you okay?"

He shakes his head yes. I let my head fall onto his shoulder. I know she's crying right now. How will I be able to face her tomorrow? I'm a horrible son.

Al starts to brush my hair, "So I have a question for you."

"Yeah?" I say moving my head so I can look him directly in his brown eyes.

"This may not be a good time, but when is it ever.  We've never made it official, so Nathaniel Adams, will you be my boyfriend?"

My smile breaks out onto my face like a bad case of acne. Okay bad analogy.

I put my hands up dramatically, "Oh no, call the news stations, Aleister Blackwell from Blackwell and Associates just asked out a 17 year old boy!"

He smirks, "Oh really? And what was the 17 year old boys answer?"

I roll my eyes, "He said no... What the fuck, of course he said yes, he's not stupid."

We both laugh and I hug him. I can smell his vanilla and pine scent on his jacket. I haven't known him long but I know the feelings I have for him are immense and I never want them to go away.

He kisses my cheek, "I've got to go, things to do, businesses to run. Call you tomorrow?"

I nod. He leaves and closes the door behind him.

Should I go upstairs and talk to my mom? Ugh.

My phone rings beside me and I see Ryan calling.

"Hello?"

"I need help," he says like it was the hardest thing in the world.

"With?" I question.

I hear him hesitate, "Okay don't hate me but I spent all night hanging out with your straight brother and now I think I have a crush on him."

That takes me by surprise.

"Uh," I say back not knowing what to say because he's right my brother is 100% straight. 

He replies to my half ass answer, "And now Jonathan, the guy who outed me to my parents, wants to be friends and I'm not sure and just why is life so difficult?"

"Okay there, calm down, I don't think Jonathan is that bad of a person, he was just worried about you.  But do what makes you happy and as for Carson, I don't know what to tell you there.  I'm all for turning straight guys gay but they're usually not "straight" when I "turn" them.  Just delusional.  I'm sorry," I say trying to give the best advice that I can.

After a second he replies, "Yeah, you're right.  Thank you dude, I was freaking out for a second.  Senior year is a lot more difficult then I'd imagine.  I mean I'm 15 for fucks sake.  This is a lot to handle.  I guess the pressures just getting to me because my parents have such a big company and expect me to do such big things but I just want to be a kid for a while."

Man, I really feel for this kid.  I've known him for less time than I've known Aleister and I met him at a McDonald's crying, not the best story ever.  Being 15 and a senior has to be hard.  "Alright listen man, this may not be the best thing, but Carson and I are gonna go to the beach tomorrow, I know you like him and being with him might not help the situation but it may help you let go for a little bit.  And who knows, maybe Carson will like you.  I have a fantastic gay-dar so I'll keep watch."

He laughs into the phone, "Yeah, okay. I'll be there."

"Great.  See you tomorrow."

(A/N) if you haven't figured it out yet there will be a sequel with Carson and Ryan told from Carson's point of view I think.  But that won't be until after this book finishes which may actually be soon guys.  But thank you all for 100k reads!  The Q and A is still going so feel free to ask me questions.
