Chapter 16 – Stewing...

Bailey

Following my heart-to-heart with Richard and my subsequent failure to talk to Simon about it, I’d gone from feeing hurt and disappointed in him to silently fuming the more I stewed over it – and yes, I did still stew over it, despite Richard’s best efforts to get me to talk things through sensibly – what can I say? I was a terrible procrastinator – and a terrible stewer...

After the way Joss had treated me, making me feel worthless and knocking my confidence for six, I’d vowed never to be fucked around again. So now, every one of my instincts for protecting my heart was telling me to bail on Simon. Richard was right. I should either talk to him about his issues or to just forget the whole thing – but I just couldn’t do it. It wasn’t as if he was cheating on me – well, I didn’t think he was – he was just closeted and I knew that wasn’t a great basis for a relationship but I really liked him. He was funny, charming and call me shallow – incredibly attractive. I just had no idea why he didn’t want to introduce me to the rest of his family – and I had no idea why he kept disappearing off on his own whenever he was away from the bar and never letting on where he was going. That was beginning to bug me more than the family thing...

Thankfully, Buzz finally put me out of my misery by telling me exactly what was going on with him – and where he was going when he was never around. Once I’d been enlightened, I had no idea why Simon hadn’t just told me himself – so then that started to bug me too...

“He’s visiting our friend, Seth in hospital – and you don’t have to give me that look,” he chuckled as I felt my face redden. I really had been looking at him as if Simon was in love with Seth, “he really is just a friend – of all of ours.” Buzz smiled a little too understandingly, making me feel horribly embarrassed.

“So why not just tell me where he’s going?”

Buzz shrugged, “He’s kind of private.” He said, “And a bit shy, if truth be told – maybe he’s just not sure of you yet. I’m guessing he hasn’t told you about being sent to straight camp, either, has he?”

My jaw dropped, “You’re kidding?” Holy shit. He really hadn’t told me anything about himself. I kicked myself mentally for sharing too much about myself too soon.

Buzz shook his head, his face grave, “Mum and Dad are... intense – and a pair of fucking idiots if I’m gonna be completely honest with you. They went ape shit when I came out and I was really pissed off when they seemed to just accept it from him – little did I know that once they realised he was serious and that he really was gay, they told him to shape up or ship out, too.
