Arthur Sakho

"Do I have to wear the eye patch?" Trevon asked me.

"Yes," I said. I stood in front of him and readjusted the eye patch over his eye.

"My eye will get tired from working so hard."

"When that happens, switch the eye patch."

"But you aren't wearing one. You wanted to dress up as pirates."

"Not all pirates wear eye patches," I said. "And I'm wearing the parrot." I patted the fake parrot on my shoulder.

"Do we have to go to this Halloween party?" he asked. He looked passed me so he could see himself in the bathroom mirror.

"Yes. You've said no to every other party I wanted to go to," I said and readjusted the vest. I used that as an excuse to touch his bare arms. He gave me a look that told me he wasn't fooled and knew exactly what I was doing. He had sexy arms though. I couldn't help it.

"At least let me put on a shirt with sleeves," he said.

"No," I said. If it was up to me he would just be wearing the vest and pants, but he insisted on wearing a white tank underneath the vest. I circled around him so I was behind him. I put my head on his shoulder. My arms circled around his waist. I clasped my hands near his belly button. I looked at our reflections in the mirror.

"My performance with Danny is going to be mid November. I can get one ticket free and I'm going to get that for you. Would you rather come Friday night or Saturday?"

"Either is fine with me," he said, "just let me know."

"I'll get you a ticket for Friday's performance then."

"Just get me an aisle seat if you can so I don't have to clamber over people."

"Okay."

We stared at each other's reflections for several moments.

"So," I said. "I've been waiting and waiting, but you've been keeping a secret from me."

"No I haven't," he said.

"Then what is Vincent's secret?"

He frowned at my image. "That's not my secret to tell," he said. It wasn't the first conversation we had about that.

"But you told me Alex's secret."

"And I shouldn't have."

"He didn't mind when you told him you told me."

"Vincent is different."

"Please," I said and kissed his neck. "It's not even that big of a secret is it?" I had no idea what the secret was, but I couldn't imagine it being bigger than Alex's.

"It is to him," he said.

I sighed. And pulled away from him. "Fine," I said, but I really didn't have any intentions of letting it go. "We have a party to get to anyway. Party time," I cried out cheerfully and exited the bathroom. Trevon followed me. I put on the waistcoat and then the captain's hat. Trevon's eyes lingered on me.

"Do I look sexy?" I asked. I struck a pose and held up my plastic sword.

He laughed. "You did until that moment."

I pouted and put the sword away in its plastic sheath. He closed the distance between us and crashed his lips to mine. His strong arms came around my waist and crushed me to him. My arms came around his neck. I reveled in his solid body pressed up against mine as his lips moved with mine.

"Wait," I said breathlessly and pushed him away. "Don't distract me. We're going to that party."

"Fine," he said.

"But first," I held up my phone, "pictures."

After I took several pictures of us, he drove us to the sorority house where the party was. He took off the eye patch while he drove. The party was already in full swing when we got there. I made him put the eyepatch back on before we went inside. I pulled him through the crowds. I greeted everyone we passed whether I knew them or not because it was the polite thing to do and it was a party. Music was playing and people were dancing. I let go of Trevon's hand and began to dance. I was hoping he would dance with me, but kind of expected him to drift off in a corner somewhere. He surprised me when he started to dance with me. His movements were clumsy and off beat but it was absolutely endearing.

After we danced two songs, he tripped on his own feet during the third. He looked around sheepishly. He was too cute. I leaned in and kissed his cheek. "I love you," I whispered loudly enough that he would hear it through the music and the chatter around us. He relaxed and beamed at me. He didn't hesitate to dance more after that.

We danced for several more songs until I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Danny dressed as a vampire. He even had fake teeth, but not the cheap ones. They looked good.

"Danny," I cried out cheerfully and hugged him. He patted my back and then nudged me to introduce him. "Danny, Trevon. Trevon, Danny," I said.

"It's nice to meet you." Danny held out a hand and Trevon shook it. "I've heard a lot of great things about you."

"I've heard nice things about you too," Trevon said.

"I hope you're not bothered by me and Arthur doing the ballet performance together," Danny said.

"Not at all," Trevon said. "It's what he loves and what he wants to do for a living. I can't get jealous over everyone he dances with in his entire life. Besides, I'm just imagining you are dancing for me since I can't dance well."

My lips turned up at this. Danny was smiling too. "That puts a lot of pressure on me. I hope I can make you proud," he said.

Trevon smiled. "I'm sure it will be great."

We moved so we were near the wall instead of the area where everyone was dancing.

"I'm going to get something to drink," Danny said.

"I'll go with you," I said. "Do you want something?" I asked Trevon.

"Just whatever you are having," he said. We started to walk away when Trevon called after us, "Nothing alcoholic though. We're underage."

"You're such a nerd," I laughed. "But I love it."

Danny and I went into the kitchen. Several beverages were on the counters. Chips, cookies and a variety of snacks were on the table.

"I like him," Danny said to me.

"I love him," I said.

Danny smiled at that. "Yes. That is obvious. And it is just as obvious that he loves you."

"Really?" My insides warmed.

"Yes," Danny said. He grabbed a water and I did the same. It wasn't a cheat day otherwise I would have gotten something sugary. I thought about getting Trevon something else, but he said to get him what I was getting so I grabbed another bottled water.

We started back to where we left him, but I stopped. A cold trepidation spread through me as I saw Alice in a barely there pixie costume talking to Trevon. She stared up at him with awed filled eyes. His eyes strayed to her cleavage before he quickly averted his eyes elsewhere. For the briefest of moments, I wondered if Trevon prefered soft breasts over my hard chest, but then his eyes found mine and I saw the clear plead for help.

"Alice shouldn't have that much cleavage," I said to Danny. "Clearly she has some sort of help to get that shape."

"Speaking of cleavage," Danny said. His gaze went somewhere across the room. I looked and saw Samantha. She was dressed as a princess. The pale pink dress was modest, except for the low square cut that showed off her squeezed together, lifted breasts. Her dark hair was in pretty curls that spilled around her shoulders.

I looked back at Danny. His eyes were only for Sam. I squealed knowingly. His eyes drifted to me. "What?" he asked.

"I think you're staring a little to hard at our Sam."

His entire face turned red with his blush.

"You have a crush," I said playfully.

"Stop teasing me and go save your man from Alice."

"Alright," I said, "but go talk to Sam before some other man goes and gets her." It was obvious that Danny wasn't the only one watching her.

"Okay," Danny said and was crossing the room without even saying goodbye.

I wasted no time getting back to Trevon's side. "Your water." I handed him the bottle. Alice frowned slightly when she saw me.

"Thank you," he said.

I wrapped both my arms around one of his. It was a little awkward as I was still holding my water bottle, but I was claiming my man in front of Alice. She needed to get lost.

"That's a pretty little costume you're wearing," I said. I heard the condescending tone in my voice, but didn't care enough to hide it.

"Thank you," she said blandly. "I was just asking Trevon if he was going to come to the performance."

"Of course he is," I said. "He wants to see me as much as he can."

She flat out frowned at this.

"Hi," Sam said as she and Danny came up behind Alice. "I'm Sam. You must be Trevon."

"Yes, hello," Trevon said.

"Alice, you look so beautiful." And unlike me, she sounded like she meant it.

Alice smiled. "Thank you. So do you."

"I'm thirsty," Samantha said. "Will you go with me to find something to drink?" And she hooked her arm with Alice's not giving her a chance to say no. "It was nice to meet you," she called back To Trevon as she led Alice away.

"Bye," Danny said without looking at us. He trailed after Samantha unable to take her eyes off her.

As soon as they were gone, Trevon sighed and leaned against the wall with his eyes closed. "Can we go now?" he asked.

"You're not having fun?"

"I was until Alice showed up."

That made me feel better about him glancing at her cleavage anyway.

"We can go," I said.

He took my hand and led me out through the crowds and back to his car. He took off his eye patch and handed it to me.

We were about halfway home when I said, "I know you love me, but do you wish I had soft breasts like Alice?"

"What?" he laughed. "No. Why would you think that?"

"Because you checked out her cleavage."

"I just...I couldn't help it. Sorry. But it doesn't mean anything. She makes my skin crawl actually. And I'm not interested in anyone else but you. Even if my eyes stray for a moment. You are at the top of my list of being a perfect being and no one else can compare so don't worry. You're sexier than anyone else."

I smiled at that and settled into the seat. My hand rubbed up and down his thigh.

He glanced at me and said, "I'm driving." But he didn't stop me as my hand drifted up and cupped his crotch. He swallowed hard. I pulled my hand away. I wasn't going to be the cause of an accident.

As soon as we got inside his apartment, he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me deeply. I walked backwards still engulfed in the kiss. The pirate hat fell from my head when my legs hit the couch and I fell back onto it. I pulled Trevon with me unwilling to break from the kiss. His hand went underneath my shirt and stirred fire over the muscles of my stomach. The hand started to inch down to the hem of my pants.

"Wait," I panted and slid out from underneath him.

"Why?" he asked. He rolled over so his back was now on the couch cushions. His eyes scanned over me hungrily as I took off the waistcoat and then my shirt.

I crawled over him and kissed his neck down to his collarbone. My lips continued down over the tank top until I reached the hem of his pants. I looked into his face and smirked as I pulled his pants all the way off. I left his boxers on.

I kissed his calf slowly inching my way up to his knee.

"What are you doing?" he asked breathlessly, but warily.

"What's Vincent secret?" I asked.

His head fell back to the couch. "Not this again," he said.

I licked that spot on his inner thigh and he physically shivered with the sensation.

"I can't," he said, but that was all he managed to get out.

"I'm not going to tell anyone," I said and I gently nibbled that spot. He moaned in ecstasy. It wasn't quite working the way I wanted it to though.

I pulled away from him. He tilted his head up so he could look at me. His brown eyes were filled with disappointment, but also relief.

I pulled down my pants and boxer briefs so I was completely naked. He groaned and his head fell back heavily onto the couch. I smiled. My victory was near. I could feel it.

I climbed over him again, but I lifted my butt high in what I hoped was a tempting pose as my head dipped to that spot on his thigh. I sucked on that spot. My tongue darted out and swiped over it.

"He's bi," he moaned out.

I lifted my head so I could see his face. "What?"

"Vincent. He's bisexual. That's his secret."

That was the big secret? That was nothing compared to Alex's. I squeezed myself between the back of the couch and Trevon.

"Why is he keeping that secret? Is he ashamed?"

"I don't think so," Trevon said. "His family will disown him if he dates a man. They've made that very clear since he was little."

"Maybe they'll change their minds." I placed my hand over Trevon's chest.

"No," he said. "They will disown him. They will kick him out. They won't pay for his schooling. You can't tell anyone."

"I won't," I said. "I haven't told anyone Alex's secret and I won't."

We stayed there for a few minutes in silence before Trevon said in a low voice, "Should we finish what you started in the bedroom?"

I jumped over the back of the couch and was on his bed before he had even moved.
