Chapter 121 - Makai - The Party Part 2

~~

Makai

~~

The moment that Giovani had told me to go and get the drinks by myself I just knew that something was up. He was planning something, and I could just feel it. Ocean didn't seem to see it though.

At least Ocean had made Giovani take his arm off of him. That had pissed me off the moment that I saw it. I saw red and wanted to tear the guy's head from his shoulders. I couldn't do or say anything though, not with all these people here. Ocean didn't want people at school to know what was between us and all of these people knew the people at our school. Causing a scene here was not an option.

I was a good boy.. I left them there talking while I went to go get us a couple of drinks. I wasn't going to be gone long. I was going to hurry to the kitchen and grab the first two non alcoholic drinks that I could find. After that, I was going to rush back to them to make sure that Giovani couldn't do anything to my Ocean.

There were way too many people at this party, and I was way too uncomfortable here. This was just not a good place for me. Still, I would stay until my boyfriend said that he wanted to leave.

The kitchen was just as crowded. There were people everywhere, and everything looked like it had become one giant mess with the party goers trampling through the whole place.

There, in a giant metal tub filled with ice, well, water and ice, were drinks. I grabbed a few cans of soda and hurried back the way that I had come. I hadn't even been gone for three minutes yet. If the path would have been a little more clear it wouldn't have even taken me that long.

Even though I wasn't gone all that long, no one was waiting for me when I got back. Ocean and Giovani were gone.

"Where the hell did they go?" I growled the words but they went unheard because of the music that was blaring through the room.

I started to look around the room, over the heads of most of the people that were there. I didn't see them at all. They were in the main room for the party.

"Dammit!" I growled it a little louder this time.

"Hey!" Someone shouted over the music. It was a girl. She was short, pretty, with super short bubblegum pink hair that was spiked in every direction. "Are you looking for your friend?"

"Yes. Did you see which way he went?" I yelled back at her.

"Gio took him to the office." She was pointing toward the back of the room. "I heard him mention his dad's collection. It's pretty sweet."

"Thank you." I nodded at her, and she smiled in an attempt to seduce me.

"No problem, sexy. If you want to spend some time with me instead of him, I wouldn't mind." She winked at me and started to move closer to me.

"That sounds like a good offer, but he asked me to get him a drink. Let me take that to him first." I pretended like I was going to come back soon.

"Hurry back, stud." She went back to dancing where she had been before and I hurried off in the direction that she had pointed.

Pushing my way through the sea of people was harder this time than it had been last time. For every time that I made it past one person, it seemed like four more magically appeared in front of my face. Where the hell were they all coming from?

I didn't care where they came from, all that mattered to me was that I made it past them. It didn't even matter who they were, I was pushing myself past them roughly, losing my patience and feeling like I was running out of time.

Right as I reached the hall beyond the party, I heard the sounds of voices coming from the other side of a door halfway down. The door was cracked open, and I could see a soft light coming from inside the room.

"No, Gio, you're wrong. This isn't something that we can do together. I don't-." I heard Ocean's voice. It sounded like he was trying to tell Giovani no. But 'no' about what?

"Really?" Giovani had cut him off. He interrupted Ocean with his arrogant words and his stupid annoying voice. "Well let's just see first."

What the hell was happening? That was what I thought as I pushed the door open and heard Ocean's muffled voice.

"Mmph."

The sight that met me when I opened the door had my anger flaring. I saw Giovani pressing his lips to Ocean's who looked like he was stunned and shocked. He had obviously not been expecting the kiss, his eyes were still open for crying out loud.

I hurried across the room and grabbed the back of Giovani's shirt. With one quick tug, I pulled him away right as Ocean's arms went to push against the guy's chest. Good, Ocean had not accepted his advances at all.

"What the fuck?" Giovani yelled after I had pulled him away.

"That is my line. What the fuck do you think you were doing?" I asked him as I let go of his shirt and went to stand next to Ocean.

"This has nothing to do with you, Kai. This is between me and Ocean." He was looking at me with pure hatred in his eyes.

"Did you not even notice that he didn't want you to kiss him?" I growled the words at him like I was a fucking werewolf.

"Really? I didn't feel him trying to push me away." Giovani smirked at me. "Seems to me like he liked it."

"Hell no!" Ocean snapped at him. "I was just about to push you away, but he pulled you away before I could."

"You don't need to lie for his benefit, Ocean." Giovani smiled and moved in close to him again, or at least he tried to.

"Get the fuck away." I pushed him away from my Ocean before he could get that nasty, arrogant face anywhere near him. "Stay away from him." I snapped at him. "Don't you dare fucking touch him again."

"Really? And what's it to you, Rivers?" He growled the words at me as he got up in my face next.

"It's none of your fucking business." I yelled at him as I pushed him back, freeing up my personal space.

"Fuck that. If you want to come into my house and put your hands on me then you owe me an explanation." I saw rage in his eyes. I knew that he wasn't going to let this go but I wasn't about to blow the secret that Ocean was trying to protect.

"Come on, Ocean." I said as I grabbed my boyfriend's hand and started to pull him toward the door.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Giovani spit the words at me angrily. "You want what I want from him. So, you're pushing me to the side. That's not playing fair, Rivers." Giovani ran after me and pushed my shoulder hard enough to unbalance my steps. "I refuse to let you have him. He's mine. I knew him first."

"Don't fucking push it, Giovani. You won't like how this ends." I warned him as I turned to stand protectively in front of Ocean."

"No, this needs to be fair. Let him make his choice. Let him decide who he chooses to let fuck him. That's the best option here."

I couldn't help it, I lashed out. I ended up punching Giovani right in the face and watched as he fell to his ass, blood on his lip.

"You fucking asshole." He yelled at me as he wiped the blood away from his lip.

"No, the fucking asshole is you. All you care about is fucking him, you said so yourself. I am fucking happy as hell that I met him before he saw this part of you. Ocean doesn't deserve that. He deserves love, affection, and all that comes with someone that loves him."

"What?" Giovani looked between me and Ocean with wide eyes. It was like he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"It's true, Gio. I am with Makai. I am dating him, and I love him. That's the truth of the matter."

"I don't fucking believe this." I watched as the guy that just moments ago was yelling at us angrily put his head in his hand and shook it while he laughed. "Yeah, I definitely missed out. Too bad." He started to get to his feet and I offered him a hand to help him. Thankfully he took it.

"Gio?" Ocean looked worried.

"Don't worry, Ocean, I won't tell anyone. That's what you're worried about, isn't it? Otherwise, you would have told me that you were with Kai from the beginning, right?"

"Yeah, I don't want anyone to know." Ocean hung his head.

"Yeah, there are some people at school that still have a problem with me being gay. I can understand you wanting to keep it a secret. I'm sorry for kissing you. I shouldn't have done that." Giovani looked over at Ocean and leaned in just a little. "Just remember though, if you ever want to try someone new, you know where to find me."

"We're leaving." I said as I grabbed Ocean's arm and pulled him away.

I didn't let go of Ocean at all until we were at the car. I had felt the anger ebbing when Giovani understood the situation, but he had to go and piss me off again when he leaned in like that.
