Francois wanted to protest and get revenge. No one ever touches and hurts him physically. Even though it was an accident, the slap was painful.
Francois is massaging his cheek while trying to convince himself to accept it as his Karma. He chuckles when he remembers he stole a kiss from Gianni and that was his first kiss.
How about him, is that his first kiss too?
"Gianni, I come here to ask you," Francois said who is still standing beside the bed looking at Gianni who is hiding his face from embarrassment.
"What is it?" Gianni slowly removes the cover on his face and looks at Francois.
"What do you want for dinner?"
Gianni smiles when he sees Francois's cheek is still red and keeps caressing it.
"Can we eat pizza?"
"Mn. What flavor?"
"Your favorite one," Gianni suggests, he bit his lower lip and winked.
He quickly gets off the bed and runs to the toilet. Francois steps backward and distances himself.
Is he flirting with me?
When Gianni is gone, Francois walks like a log, still thinking of what just happened. First, Gianni slaps him, second, he winked at him.
Gianni takes a shower while Francois calls for Pizza Hut Delivery. The delivery will take almost fifty minutes because his place is quite far.
When Gianni is done, he quickly runs to Francois's room without knocking and quickly steps backward when he sees Francois's half-naked body who is putting his clothes on. Towel wrapped around his waist and hair is still dripping with some drops of water from its tip down to his neck, down to his collarbone, and to his chest.
Gianni gulped his saliva and involuntarily crossed his hands on his chest holding a paper bag until his back touched the door. He leans on it that makes him unbalanced and slam his back until he falls on his bottom on the floor. Still holding the paper bag, his eyes widened when he saw Francois come to him and Gianni close his eyes.
"Don't you know how to knock?" Francois holds the doorknob and opens it again.
"I-I'm sorry, I am just excited." Gianni quickly gets up.
"Excited for what?" Francois said without showing any emotion.
"Excited to.....ahahaha..." Gianni laughs nervously as he thinks mischievous things in his thoughts.
Francois walks back to his closet and finally wears his T-shirt and shorts. He then walks to his bed, takes the towel he used, and brings it to the laundry basket in the bathroom.
"To give you this." Gianni throws the paper bag on the bed and quickly storms out of the room, pulling the door to close.
What was that? He just barges into my room without notice and just leaves without manners. Tsk.
The two were silently sitting on the
both end of the long big couch. Gianni promises to himself and learns to distance himself from Francois. He is serious this time, from now on he will not go near him since the man doesn't like touching.
When the delivery arrived, the two placed it on the dining table perfectly. They both wash their hands first and start to eat silently. Gianni can't help but glance at Francois from time to time.
Gianni almost eats half of the pizza already. So many thoughts come to his mind while watching Francois eating his food. Gianni is not into this type of quiet environment so he is plotting something on his mind.
He drinks his soda while grinning evilly about what to do next to make their ambiance a bit entertaining. Little did he know that Francois is also stealing a glance at him.
Francois sighed as to why Gianni was indeed so beautiful even though he is a man. Why is he so handsome. Francois looked at Gianni once more and caught him smiling while drinking from the straw.
Just earlier, he looked sexy while eating, now he looks i***t but cute with that smile.
Francois shakes his head and continues to eat and just focuses on his pizza.
Gianni is starting to eat the spicy buffalo wings and keep finger-licking because of the sticky sauce in them. Francois feels annoyed and can't stand how Gianni licks his fingers one by one while moaning when he's done.
"Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hhhmmmmmmm!"
"Could you stop that!" Francois said irritably.
"Oh! it's just so good." Gianni pouted and stood up to wash his hands. He goes back to the dining table and watches Francois, he still has one piece of cheesy pops on his plate. Gianni picked it and Francois's eyes widened and protest.
"That's my..." Francois said when he saw Gianni about to shove it in his mouth. Gianni halted and smiled. Francois quickly swallows the food he is munching.
"That's my share. Give it to me."
"You still have pizza.."
"But it's mine."
"Open your mouth, I will feed you." He is still holding the cheesy pops, teasing Francois to feed him.
Francois didn't think twice. He opened his mouth and waited for Gianni to give his piece of cheesy pops but Gianni played on him first and let him chase his hand with it
Francois stops and gives him a death glare. Gianni finally gives in and shoves it into Francois's mouth and laughs.
"What's funny.."
"You're cute when you are mad...hahaha."
Francois quickly blushed to hear the word cute.
Am I?
Francois made a fake cough but secretly smiled when he tilted his head. He doesn't know why but he is too old for this but he liked it.
Finally, the two are done eating and cleaning up the kitchen.
The two went back to the sitting room and watched a television show. Gianni keeps complimenting the youngest handsome host.
"Francois, that host is so handsome and he is too cute when he smiles," Gianni said and looked at Francois's reaction. Francois's eyes are still on TV with a serious face.
"Mn." Francois agreed.
"Like you..." Gianni mumbled but enough for Francois to hear it that made his earlobes turn pink.
Francois is just pretending he didn't hear any of Gianni's compliments to the young host of the show but every time he compares him to the host, he can't help but feel annoyed and irritated.
"Do you like him?" Francois suddenly asked.
He stands up and throws the remote control on the couch and walks upstairs and leaves Gianni dumbfounded.
"Eh?" Gianni mumbled watching Francois leaving.
What's with him? Is it wrong to compliment and admire a celebrity?
Gianni finished the show. He closed the TV and checked the main door lock and closed the light. He proceeds to his room directly and grooms himself, changing his clothes to a pajama. When he got back to his room, he saw a paper bag on his bed. An Apple store bag. He opened it and checked what's inside.
His eyes bulged out, it's a new and latest model of an iPhone, an apple watch and accessories, an iPad, and a Macbook.
Woooow! What will I do about this? I don't need this, I don't even know how to use it.
He storms out of his room carrying the bag and knocks on Francois' room.
"Francois..." Gianni called but no one answered. It's already ten in the evening. He tried once more, maybe Francois doesn't like the way he calls him so he tries another one.
"F-Frankie...can I come in?" Gianni leans his ear to the door. He is trying to hear if Francois is watching TV inside his room or something when the door swings open. Gianni drops directly to the carpeted floor.
"Yah! I will break this door soon. It always makes m-......" Gianni stops talking while on the floor when he looks up and accidentally sees Francois's underwear inside his shorts because his head is on Francois's feet.
Gianni quickly got up and composed himself.
"What do you want?" Francois asked.
"Francois, listen. Once I knock and come here that means I want you," he said, pouting.
"What?" Francois' eyes bulge out.
"I mean, I need something to tell you." Gianni pursed his lips and smiled with his mouth closed.
"Speak."
"Hmm...I found this on my bed. I don't need these. Besides, I don't know how to use it." he explained, swinging the bag wanting to give it back to Francois.
"Come in." Francois sits on the bed and taps the space to let Gianni hop on his bed. Gianni obeyed and crossed his legs.
Francois takes out the iPhone first and teaches him how to use it. He even put for him a passcode and everything he needs to know about the phone. Gianni just keeps nodding and changing his position from time to time. Feeling bored, he pulled the pillow and leaned his elbow on it.
Francois is busy checking the settings of the phone and too much focus on downloading the important apps he needs for communication and social media platforms like i********: and so on. When Francois is about to talk to teach him something, he sees Gianni is already sleeping peacefully on his bed, he can hear his little snoring with his mouth a little bit open.
Francois shakes his head. He can't believe Gianni will sleep just like that. Francois put back the item on the paper bag except for the iPhone. He fixes Gianni's body on the bed and covers it up to his chest. He sits beside him, he then takes out and pulls Gianni's right hand a little bit and registers his right thumb fingerprint on the iPhone.
When done, Francois smiles and takes a selfie of them, and takes a solo photo of Gianni. He made a cover photo and wallpaper out of it, when satisfied, he put back the iPhone on the paper bag and slid himself under the duvet and tilted his head towards Gianni's direction, and smiled wide like an i***t.
