Allister’s POV
“I’ll always have your back. May it be a battle with Goliath or Godzilla. I’m always here. It’s what best friends do, right?”
Oh great! I just agreed to a dinner with his parents. Not that they hate me, in fact they adore me. Too bad I just don’t feel the same for them. They are conniving and controlling. Well, not to me but to Vinny. It what most parents say about their children, “We only want our best for our kids”
And for them, it’s sticking to the plan they have for Vincent’s life.
Okay, since I’m somehow ready for dinner with the Salvatore Family, I’ll tell you a quick story about Vinny and his parents.
As to what I can remember from Vince’s story about his life when we were in High school, drunk and whatnot, his dad told him that his life was already laid out to him.
He went to an all-boys prep school. He tried to finish in honors and to avoid any ruckus while in school, thus making no friends. It was school and home for him. Not even a little play time after school with the other kids. He only interacts with them only when needed, like in parties. Not that he was an introvert, but his parents weren’t the social kind of people. They talk to people only if they will benefit from them.
To the innocent eyes, their tactics were normal acts of rich people. But to eyes that know the truth, you’ll see their plan through and know what their real intentions are.
That brings me to Vinny’s High school life. It wasn’t easy. As Vinny began to fight back, his parents still finds a way to get back at him and let him obey them. Though he was given a reward with his ‘obedience’, he was allowed to choose his school and there we met. It was the start of sophomore year when he transferred and there I fell in love!
I approached him seeing as he is so cute with his slightly messed up blonde hair, green eyes, and his then mysterious presence. And then we became friends, he was happier than I first met him, which made me feel so special. He then proudly introduced me to his parent’s like I’m his girlfriend, well that’s what I felt then. But really, it’s because I’m the first real friend he ever had. The others he met before were mere acquaintances or were just forced by their parents to meet other kids, like Vinny.
Like I’ve said, his parents adored me. They loved me because Vinny now found a friend. We always hang out in his room, playing video games non-stop until we fall asleep. Those were wonderful days, me lying in bed with him pretending to be asleep as I hugged him. But that wasn’t far from now, we snuggle up whenever we’re together.
Then came senior year. Choosing a college was the least of his problems, it was the major he wants to take up versus the major his dad wants him to take up. And here I played my ‘lovable best friend’ card. I convinced them that Vinny will take up Arts instead of Business if he attends every dinner meeting they have, go straight home after school, and he kept his Straight A’s. Which they thought was very torturous for Vinny, well it was, but he chose to side with me on this one. I was with him in every dinner meeting so he survived them. This made his parents love me even more, because I was being a good influence on Vinny.
And so we were in College!!! Happiest time of my life! Party here, party there. All with Vinny, of course! But for him those parties were just to forget. His parents were pressuring him. He needs to have high mark in every class or else they won’t pay for his tuition fee. A little less stress than before but college wasn’t that easy. I can’t help him much because I was studying a different major, Culinary. Way different from art, though he helped me decorate some of my cakes that was needed for one of my classes. I wasn’t that gifted in art, but I started learning from Vinny.
And during College, I experience a lot of heartbreaks. Vinny fell in love with 7 girls. (but who’s counting?) But there was nothing I can do. He was vulnerable to temptation. Gladly, no one stuck with him. No one but ME!!!
Soooo, up until now, I’ve been with him through thick and thin. For better and for worse. And hopefully til death do us part…
Now it was nearing 8’o clock and Vinny is not yet here.
I paced through my apartment and waited.
As the time grew closer to 8, my heart started to pound loudly. And the sound of the doorbell didn’t help as I jumped out of my stupor. I clasped my chest, and I tried soothing it.
I exhaled a breath and opened the door. This is it!
“Hello my darling!” Vincent tried his imitation of his mother, earning an eye roll from me. “Are you ready to go?”
“I’ve been ready since the day I said yes to you. Shall we?”
He escorted me out and we rode in my favorite car of his, his red and white Mini Cooper. I don’t know why, but it appeals to me so much.
“You can drive it if you want?” He offered as he saw me staring with awe.
“Nah, I’m feeling girly tonight. Drive me home, baby boy.” I teased and tugged on his necktie. He purred seductively and ran to his side of the car.
I cleared my throat and as soon as his eyes were on me, I pointed at my door. He sighed but came back to my side of the car and opened the door.
“Happy now, my dear?” He asked mockingly.
I kissed him on the cheek. “Yes Vinnybear. Thank you.”
He blushed and concealed his smile as he walked back to the driver’s side.
–
The dreaded hour of dinner has come.
One step. Two steps closer to the door. Hand in hand we walked and as we reach the door, we pressed the buzzer, praying to God that the dinner will go by smoothly as possible.
The door creaked open and a silhouette of a lady was in front of us.
The said figure engulfed me in a hug. “Glad you could make it!”
As she released her hug, I replied. “You haven’t age a day Lorraine.”
She blushed. “Oh Allister, you never change as well, always the charmer.” “She giggled. “Come on in, Daniel is waiting for you two.”
OMG! I’m getting the heebie-jeebies just by looking at her smile. This night is not going to be good! I can just feel it!
“Take a deep breath with me.” He held both my hands and we both inhaled before exhaling our sighs.
“Let’s do this.” I pecked his lips before walking to the dining hall.
“Allister!” Daniel greeted. “It’s a long time since you’ve been here.”
I swallowed the lump on my throat before speaking. “Yeah, I’ve been busy with work and all.” I said as I scratched the back of my head.
“I see. Well, come on you two, sit down. Lorraine prepared a very nice dinner for you two.” He smiled. “Vanessa said she’ll be home late, she said she’ll try to catch up.”
This is really scary. Vanessa is not here. OMG!!!
Vinny and I sat down together. Lorraine was across me and Daniel is in the head of the table.
We said our grace and had dinner.
The first few minutes it was filled with the klinks and klanks of our spoons and forks.
What’s next was something I didn’t expect. Welll, not really.
“So when did this all start? This thing?” Daniel opened. “Amanda told me about it.”
“If you mean our relationship, just days ago.” Vincent answered as he wiped the crumbs off his face.
Daniel hummed before speaking. “You really know how to work me up, don’t you?” His brows met and a glare was forming in his eyes.
“Whatever do you mean?” Vinny retorted.
“Your act! Stop acting innocent.” Daniel barked.
“As if I’d listen to you now. Allister and I are together, deal with it.” Vincent bit back.
His mother was just sitting there, quietly listening. Her expression was very stoic.
“Stop this gay nonsense. No one buys this shit your selling!” He pounded the table making me jump at my sit. “And to think I trusted you Allister! I thought you’re a good influence to him, but I guess you were tolerating his stupidity and hanging on to every penny he has!”
Alright! Shit is gonna go down! Nobody calls me a gold digger and gets away with it.
I held a hand up Vincent’s face and took over.
“If you may.” I opened. “Never did I ask for Vinny’s money. Never did I beg for his help. And never did I use him for my own good. Yes, my intention for us to be friends was to eventually become lovers. But none of it involved the amount of money inside his wallet!” I seethed. “It’s not my fault if your son chose to disobey you and swing my way. Maybe if you tried being human for a minute you’d feel what he feels, what we feel.”
“I don’t care about your mindless rant. All I care about is my son marrying Amanda. They fit better together! Hell! They’re meant to be together!” Daniel raged.
“Dad! You don’t know a damn thing! I love Allister! Leave us be! I’m stupid to even think that you might have changed. But you’re still that same guy who loves controlling my life.” Vincent growled. “I can’t change even if I try! Even if I wanted to!”
Damnit! I almost chuckled! Does he really have to quote Mary Lambert?!
“Then let me help you son! I only want the best for you! And Amanda is what’s best for you and our family.” Daniel assured Vincent
“There it is! It finally came out of your putrid mouth!” Vinny pointed out. “That you want me to marry Amanda for your own good!”
“Fine! Live with this trash!” He pointed at me, enraged. “But don’t expect a single dime from us! And consider your accounts closed.”
“Fine by me. If that’s your worst threat, leaving me poor, then have all my money, I don’t need it.” He spat. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up. “Let’s go, the food here tastes rotten as their souls.” We both stood up and walked away.
Daniel grunted in frustration as we left. Vincent was smirking as we walked. And that made me feel good. I’m glad I stuck with him.
We entered his car and went our way to somewhere.
“This is the last night we’ll ride this car, wanna go somewhere far?” Vincent asked, his eyes were twinkling in tears.
I thumbed away a tear that escaped his eye. “Take me anywhere you want.”
He nodded and tried to smile.
“Sorry if I got your hopes up. I should’ve expected that he’ll lash out on us. Sorry you have to hear all of that. Sorry that you have to fight for me. Sorry for…”
“If you apologize again, I’ll slap you.” I threatened, chuckling. “Vinny, what I did back there is the same thing you’d do for me if I got caught in a fight. I’ll always have your back. May it be a battle with Goliath or Godzilla. I’m always here. It’s what best friends do, right?” I told him as I held his hands on the gear stick.
“Boyfriends, we’re boyfriends now.” He corrected.
“You’re still my best friend, Vince. Even if this thing doesn’t work between us, I’ll forever be your best friend.” I said, pressing my hand on his.
“Glad to hear that. But I’m telling you, I’m not giving up on us. I’ll have to be dead before that happens.” He smiled at me.
“Same here.” I told him as I rest my head on his shoulder.
–
We arrived to a place we’re not familiar with but the place was beautiful. Grass covering the land. The skyline of Ashton can be seen from here. Flowers sprouted in groups. The moon shone over us.
It feels like we’re at the alps. Hill after hill we walked until we found a perfect spot.
He laid out his coat on the grass and I did mine as we sat on top of them. I laid my head on his legs and he was sitting there, playing with my hair as he stared at the air.
“You can live with me.” I offered.
I know he’s thinking about that kind of stuff. He’s not materialistic but he values what he has. Like his cars and other stuff he has to give up. He’s very sentimental.
All of his cars have a story to share. And this Mini Cooper we’ll have the last one. This night.
“Thanks.” It was all he said.
I looked up at him and looked back at the city where we live.
Everything will change from now on. We’ll be living together, He’ll be dependent on his coffee money. We’ll see each other more.
And that’s what worries me… what if he gets tired of me? What if he realizes that this life isn’t for him?
“Don’t worry about a thing, Allibear.” He said out of the blue. “I know you’re thinking about our future. And I promise you that nothing will change. I’ll love you and you’ll love me, like how it supposed to be.”
“I think we know each other too well to be even worrying about what could happen in the future.” I stifled a giggle
“That’s what makes me so comfortable being with you. I know you, more than anyone.” He whispered into my ear. His breath tickled my neck.
“And I hate you for knowing my soft spot.” I smacked his arm. “Stop it or I‘ll bite your wiener off!”
“Kinky. But I don’t think you’d like me as a tranny.” He laughed. “Is a strap-on good or would like me to have a vajayjay.”
I sat up. “You are seriously disgusting.”
Not that I have anything against trannies, but I love Vincent the way he is. With a penis.
“HA! You’re the one that’s gonna go cannibal on me. I know I’m packing something tasty but please don’t bite it off.” He continued to joke.
I hugged him, randomly. He was startled but he hugged me back.
“I love you. No matter what happens I won’t leave you.” He told me.
“I love you too.” I hugged him tighter. “I’m not gonna let you go.”
“I know.” He cockily said.
“Jerk!” I pushed him off.
He just smirked and rested on the grass.
“Do you think they’ll stop bugging you now?” I asked him
“I doubt it. But now I have nothing to lose. So they don’t have anything against me.” He answered calmly.
“Me.”
“Huh?”
“I’m the only one you have.”
“I know, but I don’t get what you’re trying to point out.”
“What if they take me away from you?” I looked down on the grass
“Then I’ll find you and get you back.” He assured me with a kiss.
I smiled at him. “Promise?”
“Promise.”
With that I laid my head on his chest and there we laid beneath the stars.
We’ll have to stay strong for each other. We’ll get over this and laugh it off at the end of the day.
Still, I’m scared of what’s gonna happen to us.
