When Life Gives You Lemons

Oliver:



“I….I need some air!” Brandon gasped. He shot out his chair and practically ran to the door.

Nate took a sad breath “I’ll go and get….”

“No!” I interrupted him causing everyone’s eyes to fall on me “I’ll go and see if he’s okay.”

Everyone was giving me a weird look Well everyone except for Nate. He was giving me sly smirk, like he knew something that everyone else didn’t know. I stood up and made my way towards the door which was left wide open. I stepped out making sure to close the door behind me. I was instantly greeted by Mr. Sun. I greatly soaked up the warm rays. Glancing around it didn’t take me long to spot Brandon sitting on the pier with his legs over the edge. He’s so gorgeous, a diamond in the ruff. I walk over to him.

“Hey!” I mummer plopping down beside him

He looked at me before returning his gaze to the calm water “Hi.”

“Are you okay? Or….” I paused not quite knowing what to say. I started to twiddle with my hands “Did I make you feel awkward. I didn’t mean to. I’m sorry.”

“Awkward?” Brandon chuckled causing the butterflies in my stomach to grow larger “You didn’t make me feel awkward Oli. I don’t think you could make me feel awkward even if you tried.”

I smiled lightly “Oh really! Maybe I should try harder.”

“Oh shut it Oli!” Brandon nudged my shoulder as the cutest giggle I’ve ever heard left his lips. “But really, you didn’t. I guess I was just surprised. I mean I though I would know if someone I had a crus…” Brandon paused as his eyes went wide. Was he about to say….crush? He started to nibble on his lip “I just thought I would know if you were gay.”

“Not gay!” I stated in defense “I’m going to say bisexual.”

Brandon shrugged his shoulders. He picked up a rock and chucked it into the water. “Either way you like dick.”

“Ehh but unlike you I don’t like it in my mouth.” I laughed referring to the song Nate had sung the other day

“That’s what you think.” He grinned at me a small smirk on his lips “You just haven’t had the right one in your mouth.”

I raised my eyebrows at him “And yet you have?” Brandon stayed quiet and I smiled “I’m taking that as a yes.”

“In my dreams I have…” he said barely audible. I actually don’t think I was suppose to here that. But now it has me thinking. Is Brandon gay or at least is he bisexual?

I couldn’t help but stare at him. At his caramel skin color that went perfectly with his blondish-brown curly hair. His lush pink lips and the way his lip ring complemented them amazingly .But his best feature, his eyes. A beautiful green color with a swirl of blue around the center. They are and always will be the most gorgeous eyes I’ve ever seen.

“You’re staring at me.” He looked at me making quick eye contact before looking up at the sun “Why?”

“Can’t help it.” I mumbled. I look over to see Brandon staring daggers at me. I chuckle lightly “You’re also staring at me……why?”

Brandon turned bright red as he gaze down at his lap. “I also can’t help it.” A yawn slipped out of the precious boy beside me. A weight was felt on my shoulder causing me to glance over to see Brandon leaning on me. He looked up catching my eye “You don’t mind do you?”

“Not at all.” I smile which he gladly returns. Another yawn escapes his mouth. “Well somebody’s a little tired.”

He shook his head, his curls tickling against my cheek as he did so “Nope not tired I…..” Another yawn trickled out his lips. I gave him a sideways glance. He sighed lightly “Well maybe I’m a little tired.”

“You could go inside and take a nap” I offer

He shook his head childishly “No! I want to stay like this forever.”

“What?” I question laughing a little though my heart was jumping a lot. He wanted to stay like this….with me. “Why?”

“Well Mr. Sykes your shoulder is very comfortable.” He stated sarcastically. A laugh dripped out his mouth followed a content sigh “Plus….why would I want to leave this beautiful view?”

I turned my gaze to the crystal clear lake that shined like a million diamonds under the bright sunrays. The water rippled slowly weaving back and forth lapping against the pier ever so lightly. The huge lake was surrounded by a avenue of trees that went on and on for what seemed like forever.

“Wow!” I whispered admiring the natural beauty “Just wow!”

“Beautiful ain’t it.” Brandon stated tracing his index finger over the shape of my left hand “Have you ever seen anything this gorgeous?”

“I have.” I replied honestly.

Brandon huffed beside me “What?”

“What…..” I chuckled shaking my head “More like who.”

“Oh….” Brandon whispered. His eyebrows knitted and a hint of a pout graced his pink lips. A smug look soon replaced his confused one. “And who is this lucky gentleman…..assuming that he is a guy.”

I smirked lightly “Well Brandon you have assumed correctly.”

“Who?” Brandon looked up at me in amusement “Tell me who!”

“It’s not important.” I laugh

Brandon groaned letting his head fall to my lap “Tell meeeeeee!” I couldn’t help but laugh at his childish antics that just so happened to be undeniably cute. “Tell me! I don’t know him! Do I know him?” He gasped below me. I swear all I wanted to do was bend down and kiss him. He glared at me wide-eyed. “I better not know him!”

I thought about how to answer this question. “You know him very very very very very very…”

“Spit it the fuck out Oli!” Brandon whinnied flailing his arms about.

I giggled lightly “You know him very well. He’s very cute and adorable.”

“Cute and adorable mean the same exact thing.” Brandon crackled with a hint of what seemed like jealousy

“Oh, is someone jealous.” I smirked down at him. He rolled his eyes and mumbled a no. I nodded. “Well his amazing. And he’s pretty cool. And he’s the bestest bestest guy I know.” I teased causing the adorable boy to pout. I pinched his cheeks “Don’t pout love. You have nothing to worry about. I’ll still love you”

“Fuck you!” Brandon snickered lightly smacking my hand away from his cheek “Just tell me who the fucker is so I can harass him.”

“Ehh it’ll be pretty hard to harass him.” I thought to Brandon harassing himself. “But it’d be funny if you tried.”

Brandon lifted his head from my lap “Tell me who he is now. I want to know who the fucker is so I can…..” Brandon paused and the hugest smile in the history of smiles spread across his face. “Oh my motherfucker look at the duckies!” Brandon gazed intensively at the family of ducks before looking back at me happily “Oliver do you see the ducks? Do you see them?”

“Yes!” I smiled lightly at the big kid in front of me “Yes Brandon I see the ducks!”

“Bead! Bread!” Brandon shook my shoulders frantically “Oliver do you got some bread?”

“Really?” I cocked an eyebrow at him “Does it really look like I have bread?”

Brandon threw me an unamused look “Is that a yes or a no?”

“No my love, I don’t have any bread.” I couldn’t help but grin

Brandon sighed sadly before positioning himself back at my side. He placed his head back in my lap causing my heart to jump to my throat. This boy is really doing a number to me. He makes me feel all bubbly and warm inside. Looking down at him right now, how his caramel skin shines brightly in the sun, I just want to reach down and kiss him. No, not just kiss him, I want to have a full fledge make out session. That would be love right now.

“But aren’t they the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen?” Brandon questioned breaking me from my daze

“Nah!” I sigh running my hand through his curly hair “I’ve seen cuter.”

Brandon rotated his body so that he was looking at me “Then what have you seen that’s more adorable than baby duckies.”

I looked out at the water just wishing I had the guts to tell Brandon the truth. I wish I could be a man and tell him my feelings. Why can’t I just say it? Just spit it out of my mouth. But I just can’t say it because….I’m scared. I’m scared that he won’t talk to me anymore. That’ll he will find me disgusting and never talk to me again.

But if I wasn’t scared I would look into Brandon’s gorgeous irises. Lean down and press my lips to his. Savor the taste of him, let my tongue roam every inch of his perfect mouth.

But of course I am too scared. But I felt a surge of courage ripple through my veins. Maybe just maybe I can answer Brandon’s question.

“You…..” I whispered

“Did…..did you say something Oliver?” Brandon questioned

I looked down into Brandon’s confused face. I opened my mouth to reply but closed it again. I can’t tell him. I just don’t have the courage to do so.

“No!” I sighed in defeat “No….. I said nothing.”
