Who Would Have Thought
Chapter 7
By Already Chosen

This chapter was a very hard one for me to write.  I don't know how I feel
about it.  It's kind of skimpy in the action department, but I think you
all will really like what happens.  Thank you to everyone who has sent me
feedback, you all make me want to keep writing.  Hope you enjoy it!


I lay there with these awful thoughts running through my head.  I began to
have a full on panic attack.  I started to break out into a sweat and my
breathing was becoming jagged.  Aidan noticed something was wrong.

"Adam, Adam, are you okay?"

"I, I, I don't know.  I can't breath.  I'm freaking out."

"What's wrong?  What's happening?"

"Aidan, I'm a fucking slut.  I can't believe I did this.  I don't even know
you.  How could I just come out here and have sex with you like this?  What
the hell am I doing?  This is just not who I am.  I don't have sex with
strangers.  I have to go."

"No. Adam wait.  Don't go.  Why don't we talk about this?  Let me help
you."

"You don't even know me.  Why would you want to help me?"

"Adam, I may not know you, but I do know there is something about you.  I
can just feel it.  I know you're a good guy and I know you're different
than all the other little twinkie sluts running around this town.  Hell, if
you were one of them I would have gotten up right after I came."

"Thanks, that makes me feel real good Aidan," I said sarcastically as I
started to get up.  He grabbed my arm.

"I didn't mean it like that Adam, all I meant was that, well, I know we've
only known each other for a couple of hours, but I feel like you are
something special.  I WANT to know you.  Please give me that chance?"

I felt myself giving in.  I knew I was going to give Aidan the benefit of
the doubt, and that I was going to give some energy to getting to know this
guy who seemed genuinely interested in me.  "Okay, okay.  I'll give you a
chance, but can we get dressed first?  It's so fucking cold out here I
think my dick has found a permanent new home INSIDE my body."

He chuckled a little then we got dressed.  He only had his bathing suit
with him and he was shivering all over so I took him into my arms and we
walked off the beach together.

We got back onto Commercial Street and just started walking.  We could hear
the blare of the music from the clubs and there were people sitting at
tables at the sidewalk cafes chatting away.  At that moment I found it
completely amazing that so many people were experiencing so many different
emotions all at the same time.  It really put things into perspective for
me.  I realized that even though I had done something really stupid, it
could have been a lot worse.  I could have the problems of one of the
billions of other people in the world; real problems, like AIDS, cancer,
hunger, any one of a million things.  Things didn't seem so bad all of the
sudden.  My mood had changed and I was going to give myself the chance to
get to know Aidan.

As we walked he told me all about himself.  He was originally from New York
City, but was now going to Boston College.  He was studying to be a third
grade teacher.  I thought that was totally adorable.  He came from a small
family, just him, his mom, and his dad.  His parents were both doctors and
had done very well for themselves.  They were upset by his choice to become
a teacher, but they were getting over it.  He told them he was gay when he
was 15 and they had always accepted him with open arms.  I was really
jealous of him for that, but nonetheless I was happy for him.  From what he
had told me on our walk I felt like he was probably the most perfect guy I
had ever met.

I was always the person that said I would never meet anyone of any quality
at a bar or a club, and I certainly never thought I would sleep with anyone
worth my time BEFORE I knew he was worth my time.  Needless to say, as he
continued to tell me his story I was in heaven.

After he finished, I told him about me and everything that had gone on in
my life.  I even told him about Phoenix.  He didn't seem to be overly
thrilled with that situation, but I felt he needed to know.  I didn't want
to keep any secrets from him.  I had no idea where this was going to go, if
anywhere at all, but I just didn't want there to be any surprises later.
Before I knew it, we had walked clear out of town.  I hadn't noticed
because I was so engrossed in our conversation.

"Oh my God Aidan, we're not even in Provincetown anymore."

"What, where the hell are we?"

"Truro, I think.  None of this looks even remotely familiar.  I know my
hotel is right across the street from the beach at the edge of town, but I
think we passed that too."

"Well, why don't we head back the way we came and see if we can at least
find your hotel?"

We walked back and eventually came upon my hotel.  It was the first awkward
moment we had.  I really didn't know what to say.  I wanted to invite him
up, but I didn't want to seem too forward.  Then I thought to myself, "we
just had sex a couple of hours ago, you can't get much more forward than
that."  So, I bit the bullet.

"Aidan, would you like to come up to my room?"

"I'd love that."

We got up to my room and I plopped down on the bed.  He didn't even
hesitate; it just seemed completely natural.  He just got into bed next to
me and took me in his arms.  We stayed up the entire night talking about
anything, everything, and nothing.  It was dawn by the time I let myself
drift off to sleep.  It just all seemed so right at that moment.  Here I
was with a gorgeous guy that I had everything in the world in common with.
I felt I could share my entire life with him and he wouldn't judge me and
he wouldn't think I was a complete idiot.  I was totally comfortable.

A couple of hours later I felt something or someone stirring next to me.  I
looked over and Aidan had woken up.  He looked at me with those beautiful
blue eyes and all I could see in them was contentment.  I felt like a
million dollars.  Could I bring that look into someone's eyes?  Was it
possible?  I guess it was, because he leaned down and gave me the softest,
most wonderful kiss I had ever experienced.  It was just a peck on the lips
but it was magical.  He whispered to me to go back to sleep, so I nestled
into his strong body and went back into the most wonderful sleep ever.
When my eyes opened for the last time to face the day, I found Aidan just
staring at me.

"What are you looking at?" I asked my voice still thick with sleep.

"I was just watching you sleep.  I think you can tell a lot by a person
when you watch them sleep.  You can tell how a person lives their life, and
how they let their emotions guide them."

"Okay Sigmund, what does my sleep tell you about me?"

"Well it tells me that you are sensitive, angelic, adorable, and sweet.
But it also tells me that you have a lot on your mind.  Every once in a
while your whole face gets all scrunched up like there is something really
bothering you."

"I didn't know I did that in my sleep; that's amazing.  The fact that you
noticed that is even more amazing.  You know, I have to tell you that I
never expected last night to end up like this."

"Why?"

"Well, I really just expected a random one night fuck."  He looked
completely hurt by that statement.  "No, no, no, I don't mean that's what I
wanted, I just mean that I didn't expect that I could meet such a genuinely
wonderful guy.  I thought you would be a complete dick, and I am so glad
that you aren't."

He smiled a hesitant smile and I leaned up and kissed him.  That brought a
true smile to his face.  I couldn't have been happier than I was right
then.

The rest of my weekend in Provincetown was wonderful.  Aidan and I were
inseparable.  I checked out of my hotel on Saturday morning because Aidan
wanted me to spend the rest of the weekend with him in the room that he and
his friends had rented.  Luckily, they had all found guys of their own, so
they were nowhere to be found.  We spent a lot of time sweating in bed and
when we weren't in bed we worked on our tans on the beach.  It was great.

All too soon, Sunday evening rolled around.  I didn't know what to expect.
I really wanted to see Aidan again, but I had resigned myself to the fact
that this whole thing had probably just been a weekend fling and that we
would go back to our respective lives and that would be the end of it.  I
was pleasantly surprised when Aidan asked me for my number and my e-mail
address.  I gladly obliged and he gave me his in return.  He walked me to
my beloved Volkswagen, gave me a deep kiss goodbye, and told me he would
call when he got back to Boston.

I started out on route 6 happy and sad at the same time.  I was so happy
that I had met Aidan but sad because I knew that even though we had
exchanged information I probably would never hear from him again.  Well, at
least I could have the memory of such a great guy,

I was just about into Providence, Rhode Island when my cell rang.  I didn't
recognize the number.  I answered somewhat hesitantly.

"Hello."

"Hey, its Aidan."

"Oh, hey what's up?  I didn't expect to hear from you this soon.  Are you
back in Boston already?"

"No actually, we just got in the car to head back now.  I just wanted to
hear your voice."

I thought I was going to melt.  "You did huh?  Well here I am," I said
playfully.

"Adam, I really want you to know that I had such a great time with you this
weekend.  You are such a special guy and I hope you know that.  I really
want to keep in contact with you.  In fact, I'd love it if you would come
up to Boston next weekend."

I tried to keep my cool, but I don't think it worked too well.  "I would
love that Aidan."

"Alright, well, I'll call you in a couple of hours so we can work out the
details."

"Sounds good."

"Alright, bye sexy."

"Bye."

I hung up the phone and screamed out loud.  I was not usually the queenie
type, but it all came out in one giant burst of sound.  I was so happy I
thought I was going to explode.  He really wanted to see ME again.  All I
could do was turn up the radio as loud as it would go and drive faster.  I
sang at the top of my lungs almost the whole way home, every song was happy
and upbeat.  I was on top of the world.

I couldn't contain my happiness.  I had to call Zoe and tell her
everything.  I didn't know whether she was going to be happy or mad, but I
really hoped she would be happy for me.  I dialed the phone a little
hesitant but my joy couldn't be hidden.  Nothing was going to get me down.
She answered on the second ring.

"Hello."

"Zoe, its me."

"Oh my God Adam, where the fuck are you?  Everyone has been looking for
you, we're all worried sick."

"Why didn't you call my cell?"

"I did.  It went right into voicemail.  Where have you been?"

"I was in Provincetown."

"Oh that's just great.  So while your friends and family were sitting here
worried sick about you, you were sitting on the beach getting a great tan
and relaxing.  Fabulous Adam, why don't you just go to California for an
encore?  Your mother is about ready to call the police.  She thinks you've
been kidnapped."

"I'll call her in a little while.  First, I need to tell you about the guy
I met."

"You met a guy?  Do tell.  No, don't tell.  I'm mad at you.  I thought you
were dead in a ditch somewhere."

"Stop being so melodramatic Zo, I'm fine."

"Fuck you."

"Come on Zoe, I'm sorry.  I should have at least let you know where I
was.  I just needed to clear my head.  I'm sorry."

"You better be sorry mister.  You caused a lot of people a lot of
unnecessary worry."

"I won't do it again."

"Good.  Alright, now tell me about this guy," she said with the bubbliness
returning to her voice.

I told her all about Aidan and the talking and the laughing and the sex.
She was so happy for me.  She squealed the whole time we talked.  She
couldn't contain it.  The last thing she said to me before the conversation
was over though was "what are you gonna tell Phoenix?"

Her last question left me completely dazed.  I had no idea what I was going
to tell him.  I knew I owed him something he was my second best friend
after all.  Hell, he was a member of my family.

I drove the rest of the way home thinking about what I was going to do
about him and more importantly what I was going to tell my parents.

So, it's a little short this time around, but I feel like the story needed
this little break to establish Aidan a little better.  Don't worry there is
plenty more to come for Phoenix and Adam and of course our newest
character, Aidan.  I hope you guys like him as much as I do.  Send me you
comments; I love to hear from all of you.  AlreadyChosen06460@yahoo.com
