Over the next two weeks, Jacob and Alex spent more time together. With Jacob having football practice every weekday and his girlfriend expecting to spend time with him as well, they didn’t have as much time together as they would like. But they made the most out of the time they got together.
Every time they hung out, Alex would suck Jacob off and he got better and better at it. He loved to do it and Jacob thought he was great at it. In all actuality, he definitely had room to grow as he got more experience but the fact it was Alex made it feel better than any others Jacob had received before.
Jacob still hadn’t done much with Alex’s penis, it was a mental hurdle he hadn’t gotten over yet. Alex was patient with Jacob though. If Jacob wasn’t so caring and sweet to him, he’d probably have more of a problem with it. But Jacob had started to jerk him off a little while Alex sucked him off and Alex could appreciate his progress to that point.
They’d gotten an A on their science project, proof of how good of a team they made in Alex’s mind. The people at school wouldn’t know how close Alex and Jacob had gotten by their behavior at school.
They didn’t interact much more than they did before, just casual small talk before class from time to time with poorly concealed smirks. It was innocent enough for people to just assume they’d gotten along okay working on their project together.
But even by the small amount of conversation he had with Jacob seemed to change other people’s behavior toward him. More people seemed to say hello to him or else, just made little friendly comments to him. Alex was still painfully shy but it surprised him how much it made his days better to be acknowledged.
A couple of times, Jacob would feel a little daring and would rub his foot on Alex’s under the desk in class. Alex would just smile, roll his eyes and ignore it so as to not draw any attention to Jacob’s risky behavior.
One day, Jacob had followed Alex when he had went to the bathroom. Alex almost had a heart attack when he felt someone’s hand grab him by the arm and push him against the bathroom wall. But as soon as he was turned around, he knew who it was.
Jacob put his hands together over his head and made out with him aggressively for about 30 seconds until they heard the bathroom door open. Luckily, the school bathrooms had a wall that blocked the view from the door into the bathroom. Still, they only just were able to position themselves convincingly so as to not give off any weird vibes to the student who had walked in. The agreed it was super hot sneaking around but that they should probably not do that again.
In just a couple weeks, Alex had not only fallen totally in love with Jacob; he was falling in love with himself as well, though more slowly.
He tried to keep his feelings in check but he had been so starved for affection that it was inevitable he’d grow incredibly attached. This was the first boy that ever gave him this kind of attention and it didn’t help that Jacob was such a catch.
This caused Alex to start feeling a little jealous over Jacob’s girlfriend. They both knew it wasn’t fair to her but it was a difficult situation for Jacob. Alex tried to be understanding but in the last couple days, he’d been dropping hints that he wasn’t comfortable with Jacob being in a relationship with someone else even if it was complicated.
Alex knew that he might have been overstepping his bounds by doing this. But for Jacob, he’d been waiting for this. He knew it wasn’t fair to either Alex or Kelly and that Alex would eventually need his undivided attention. But he was scared. Kelly subconsciously served as some sort of buffer for him, as messed up as it sounds. If she’s out of the picture, he knew it would remove the only thing that kept him from spending every second with Alex or talking to him. It would be like admitting his bisexuality if he dumped her in his mind.
Kelly had begun to grow suspicious as well. She could tell Jacob had pulled back. He wasn’t texting or calling her as much, wasn’t spending as much time with her. And when they were together, he seemed more attached to his phone than her, a valid feeling considering he was texting with Alex.
He also seemed less and less interested in having sex with her. In fact, they hadn’t slept together since the weekend Jacob had hurt his hand and distanced himself from Alex. This was incredibly uncommon, Jacob was a young bull in the bedroom and required sex every time they were together normally.
Jacob knew deep down that he was falling for Alex just as much as Alex was for him. But it didn’t make things any easier for him to accept. Finally, Alex said something to him that made him see things a little differently.
“How would you feel if I was dating some other guy while we were talking because I didn’t think you were ready to be with me?” He had asked Jacob.
This made Jacob angry just thinking about it. The mere thought of another boy with Alex made his blood boil. And the more he thought about istanbul travesti it, the more he realized that was because it hurt him to think about it. Alex was HIS and, as immature as it may have been, he knew he’d be willing to throw hands with any guy who so much as flirted with him.
So, on this Thursday afternoon, he decided he had to break things off with Kelly. Not just for Alex but for her sake as well. At this point, he was just wasting her time and his when he could be investing all of his time in building something with Alex.
However much the thought was nerve-wracking to him, it was equally exciting. The mix of emotions was uncommon to Jacob, having always been your typical dude that felt emotions only one at a time. But it didn’t necessarily bother Jacob, in fact it deepened how he felt the good emotions in spite of his cluttered headspace.
Jacob saw things in life as lists. In football, before the snap he had a list of things he did. Call the play, find the blitz, determine the pass coverage, find any favorable match up and make any adjustment to exploit any of the things he may have seen.
With Alex, he was going through a different kind of list. He’d befriended him, kissed him, gotten intimate and now he was on the next part of his list which was to commit. This was such a big step and coming out was next. But he was nowhere near prepared for that step yet so he pushed that from his mind for now.
Jacob met Kelly outside by the field before football practice that afternoon. He figured at least that way, no scene could be made. Or so he thought.
Predictably, Kelly did not take it well. Every girl he’d broken up with always cried and Jacob always felt terrible for days after. But he wasn’t prepared for Kelly’s reaction. She didn’t cry; she was enraged.
“REALLY Jake? REALLY? I asked you just a couple days ago, I asked if there was something wrong and you said no! Now you’re gonna dump me out of the blue? So who is it?” She inquired loudly.
The guys who had already dressed for practice and were standing around waiting for others looked their way.
“Kelly chill…what do you even mean?” he said, playing dumb.
He wasn’t happy with her making a scene but he respected her right to process the breakup however she did in that moment.
“What nasty bitch are you breaking up with me for? Huh? Some ugly skank no doubt. YOU’RE SUCH A PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT!” She screamed at the top of her lungs and hit him hard in the shoulder.
She was losing control and the scene was now unfolding dangerously so Jacob started backing away quickly, not wanting this to go any further. Thankfully, she just stood there screamimg after him before storming off.
Her reaction shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise. She had an ego that dwarfed most men’s and being dumped was never going to go down well for her.
It honestly made Jacob feel better that she had responded the way she did. In his mind, he didn’t have to feel so bad about dumping her for Alex. Whether or not that was just a rationalization, that’s how he felt about the situation. He’d never cheated on a girl before and felt the these circumstances were different than if he’d been talking to another girl, right or wrong.
He couldn’t wait to tell Alex and see the look on his face. But he also felt uneasy as he made his way down to the practice field. What did this mean for them? He guessed that he had to ask Alex to be his…boyfriend? It was the first time he’d thought about that term, about having a boyfriend. It seemed odd to think about…and yet, it also felt right at the same time.
Jacob’s mind was preoccupied throughout practice and he didn’t play well. His coaches were concerned because if they won their game the following night, they secured the top seed in the state playoffs. If they lost, they would drop all the way down to 3rd. Jacob believed he would feel so much better after he’d talked to Alex and be just fine for the game the following night.
When he got to his car, he texted him.
“Hey baby, practice is over. I’ll be there to get you in 5, I wanna go to my house tonight.”
He didn’t call Alex “baby” without thinking hard about it first. He was pushing himself out of his comfort zone for Alex. Now that he was going to ask Alex to be his boyfriend, he was going to be all in. It felt awkward but it also just felt right to him.
Alex smiled when he read the message but rolled his eyes as well. Jacob always just told him what they were going to do, as if he was just going to do it without being asked first…
“Okay! I’ll be outside :),” Alex replied. Maybe he WAS going to do whatever Jacob told him, so what?
When he pulled in and Alex got into the car, Jacob leaned in for a quick kiss. He felt nervous even though he knew Alex liked him just as much as he liked Alex. You just never know people’s answers until you know, you know?
“So…I’m baby now?” Alex asked with a smile.
“Oh shush,” Jacob said, blushing furiously.
He istanbul travestileri never got like this with anyone but Alex. That’s how he knew he was making the right decision.
Alex could tell Jacob was extremely nervous for some reason. His hand was shaking as they held hands and Jacob’s eyes seemed to keep darting around. This made Alex nervous too, unsure of what was going on. Jacob was supposed to be be the steady calming presence, Alex’s rock. But right now, they both seemed to be two living embodiments of nerves.
Part of what made Jacob so nervous was the fact his parents hadn’t met Alex yet. He realized he hadn’t told Alex he’d be meeting his parents yet so he did so as they pulled into his driveway.
“Oh my god,” Alex squealed out, voice cracking from stress.
This broke some of the tension for Jacob momentarily and he chuckled. Alex felt too nervous to feel embarrassed or humored by his voice cracking.
“Why didn’t you say something? I’d have dressed nicer!”
“You look fine baby, I promise,” Jacob said, feeling himself cringe a little as he called him baby out loud for the first time.
Hearing Jacob’s husky voice call him baby for the first time had that desired calming effect on Alex. He took a deep breath.
“And I need to tell you something,” Jacob said.
It was like Alex was on an emotional roller coaster. Alex’s nerves were back just like that. He just stared blankly back at Jacob, waiting.
“I broke up with Kelly before practice,” Jacob told him with a coy smile.
Once again, Alex let out a deep sigh.
“Oh Jesus, don’t do that to me! I thought you were going to tell me something bad,” Alex said, exasperated.
Alex wasn’t sure what exactly to say to that but it definitely made him happy to hear. He just smiled.
“That’s not all though…,” Jacob said, feeling more confident again and wanting to see Alex squirm some more.
“Ugh what Jacob, what? Just tell me, damn!” he said, flapping his hands impatiently.
“You’re my boyfriend now.”
His stomach did a flip when he saw Alex’s face light up. It was a look of pure joy, a rare kind of joy that was felt with every pore of one’s being. Damn labels, right?
“Ahhh!” Alex involuntarily let out loudly as he jumped into Jacob, throwing his arms around him.
He didn’t even have to ever say yes or okay; of course he was Jacob’s. He’d always been Jacob’s, from their very first hug. The fact that he wasn’t worried how silly he might look could attest to that.
Jacob let out another chuckle, wrapped his arms around Alex too and then kissed him on the cheek. Alex turned his head and kissed Jacob on the lips passionately.
Both of the boys got caught up in the moment, as Jacob slipped his tongue into his new boyfriend’s mouth. They were official now and they were sealing the commitment with a steamy kiss.
The boys suddenly heard something like a door shut and they both jumped. They couldn’t see where it had come from and just kind of shrugged it off as a neighbor or car door somewhere.
Jacob took Alex inside to introduce his “friend” to his mom for the first time.
“Mom? Where you at?” Jacob called out as he walked through the house with Alex.
“In the kitchen, honey!”
Jacob’s mom sounds super sweet, Alex thought.
“Hey mom, this is Alex, the friend I told you about,” Jacob told her as she was looking through the refrigerator.
She turned around and smiled widely at Alex. She was a beautiful 40-ish year old with dark hair and olive skin. It was obvious Jacob got his eyes and skin tone from her. His hair was a little lighter and a lot shorter than hers but looked similarly textured, thick and sleek.
“Hey Alex, how are you? This is the science partner you told me about, right?” Mrs. Andrews asked Jacob but with the air of already knowing the answer.
As Jacob answered her question, she came around the marble kitchen island and gave Alex a hug. Alex could see when she hugged him that they were basically the same height. Alex thought that Jacob had to get his sweet side from his mom, she was a total sweetheart.
“Well, thank you for helping Jacob. He’s a smart boy but he’s always struggled with science for some reason,” she said conversationally.
“Mommmm!” Jacob said, looking a little embarrassed.
“So what honey, you got that from me. I never did understand science either. Who cares about the difference in mitosis and meiosis,” she said with an dismissive wave and a smile.
“Well sit down, sit down! I was just about to fix some dinner. Alex, do you like chicken alfredo?” she asked.
“Actually, mom could you make some manicotti tonight?” asked Jacob quickly.
Alex could have melted right there. That told him that Jacob really did pay attention to him. It’d been two weeks since he had told Jacob about his favorite dish that his mom used to make. He gave Jacob doe eyes before realizing it probably would look odd to his mother but if she noticed, she didn’t show travesti istanbul it.
“Oh honey, I don’t have the ingredients for that and that would take too long tonight! Why do you want manicotti?” She asked curiously.
Jacob looked at Alex, who nodded in the affirmative to his non-verbal question.
“Alex’s mom used to make it for him, it’s his favorite.”
“Ohhh…Jacob told me about your mother dear, I’m so sorry to hear it… How about you come around Saturday and I’ll fix some for you boys!” She said with an understanding smile.
It caught Alex by surprise that Jacob seemed to have talked about him a good bit to his mom. Yet another thing that just further solidified his confidence in their relationship. He was sure had his mom still been alive, he’d be talking about Jacob to her endlessly.
“Thank you Mrs. Andrews, but I don’t want to be a bother,” Alex said a little weakly.
“Oh its not a problem dear, I won’t take no for an answer!” she insisted.
“And please, call me Francesca or Fran. Mrs. Andrews is my mother-in-law,” she added with an ironic shudder.
Alex couldn’t help but laugh. He could see alot of her personality in Jacob.
They sat around and just talked about all manner of things as Mrs. Andrews cooked. Jacob was so in his element, he really bounced things off of his mom and they were so fun to be around.
It really endeared them both to Alex because it reminded him of his relationship with his own mother. Alex was an enthusiastic participant in the conversation too, surprisingly. If Jacob alone made him feel comfortable to be himself, he and his mom together really brought him out of his shell.
Alex learned alot about Jacob’s moms side of the family as they chatted. Her grandparents had come over from Italy and her father was your typical first generation American success story. He’d started his own business that had grown to multiple locations. Her parents were your typical Roman-Catholic Italians.
She’d met Jacob’s father, who was a third-generation lawyer from a prominent local family in college. They’d gotten married their junior year of college. Only then (she winked at the boys as she said it) did she get pregnant and they had Alex’s sister before they graduated college.
“Wait a minute mom, what was that wink for?!” Jacob asked, humorously incredulous as she tried to keep talking.
“Well it certainly wasn’t because I was pregnant when I got married, absolutely not,” she said sardonically.
Alex laughed but Jacobs mouth dropped open, he’d never known this. His mom was your typical Christian mother when he was growing up and it surprised him that his mother may not have been a saint.
Jacob was even more surprised his mom was being so candid, especially in front of company and in front of a friend of his she just met.
“Then we had Jacob while his father went to law school and I worked as a schoolteacher,” she finished as she was saying before.
“You know, I’d like to be a teacher someday myself. I love history,” Alex told them.
“You? A teacher? You sleep through half your classes as a student!” Jacob teased him.
“I also sleep through conversations with you but that doesn’t mean I can’t talk to other people myself,” Alex jabbed back, making him and his mom both laugh loudly.
“Oh you are so funny! I like him Jacob, he’s welcome to dinner anytime…be a dear and set the table please. Your father will be home any minute,” she told Jacob.
Sure enough, as Jacob finished setting the table and sat back down, his father walked into the kitchen.
“Oh, who’s your friend Jake?” he asked as he walked up to his wife and kissed her.
“This is Alex, dad,” Jacob said.
“Nice to meet you Alex,” he said unlookingly to Alex.
Alex was rather intimidated by Mr. Andrews. Of course, Alex was intimidated by all men because of his father’s verbal abuse and being bullied before. He wasn’t quite as tall as Jacob was but he was larger if not less defined than his son. He had the clear look of someone who was about 10 years past his prime but was still quite the physical specimen. He looked different from Jacob. They shared a nose and a similar physical stature but Mr. Andrews had striking blonde hair and blue eyes to go along with paler skin than his wife and son.
Everybody sat at the table, passing around the bowl of chicken alfredo and a bread basket. It was Mr. Andrews that spoke up again first.
“So Alex, how do you know Jacob?”
Alex gulped. Clearly Jacob didn’t talk to his father like he did his mom.
“We have science class together, sir,” he responded nervously.
“I see, I figured it was something like that. I can tell you’re not much of a football player, are ya?” he said to Alex with a hearty laugh. He was one of those men that were unintentionally rude.
“Dad!” said Jacob somewhat angrily.
Mr. Andrews glanced over at Jacob bemused before looking to his wife, who shot him a meaningful look that very clearly said, “Shut up now.”
An awkward silence fell over them for a moment and Jacob realized that Alex was extremely tense, noticing he was bouncing his leg nervously. He reached under the table and gently squeezed Alex’s knee as if to kind of say “hey I’m right here, it’s okay.” Alex felt himself relax before Mrs. Andrews spoke.
