Past

I was agitated. It had been three days since I confessed of wanting a second chance with Mr. Cross. Where I expected some, I don't know a miracle, he simply nodded and walked away.

Three days since I last saw him. Three days since he gave me what I needed. I wasn't obtuse. What I had felt back then, the pain, the agony of wanting to come, yet feeling ashamed, it was all there in forefront. But, it were his hands, his subtle gesture of command and somewhere my soul knew I was in safe hands.

I was in the main living room, reading a book from one of his bookshelves when my senses kicked in and I turned to see Mr. Cross enter carrying a small box. His steps faltered when he caught sight of me. At first there was hesitation on his face but then it converted into a simple beautiful smile. The khol under his eyes were ever present and the hazel colour popped up more.

Placing the box on a table Mr. Cross made his way towards me and signed, "How have you been?"

Did he really want to know? I contemplated my answer. But in the end decided to just sign it out. Also, a part of me wanted to see his reaction.

"I am horny. Fucking horny."

What was his reaction? He simply cocked his head to right and nodded. That's it! Just one freaking nod. He brushed it aside as if I was talking about weather. With that he got the box from the table onto his lap and opened it. It was some sort of assorted dark chocolate.

"Here try this." He mouthed and handed me a bar.

What the fuck?

"Mr. Cross, I just revealed that I am horny and you're feeding me chocolate?" I signed with a huff and his eyes crinkled with mirth and humour. "Did you know chocolate is almost as wonderful as sex? Releases same hormones. Try it."

I am sure my face had this incredulous look. Is he serious!? Before I could think of any retort, he shoved the chocolate into my mouth and having no other choice I munched on it.

Never. Never would I admit that it was absolutely wonderful. Never.

Mr. Cross on the other hand gave me a sly smile. He knew I loved it.

"What are you reading?" He eyed the book and was surprised seeing the title 'Mr. Bane.'
"Out of all the books in my library that's the one you had to pick?" Shaking his head Mr. Cross continued talking and I tried picking up word by reading his lips. "You could have picked up world politics, but nope, you had to pick an erotica."

With a grin I signed back, "Mr. Cross, never did I think you were prude but this book," I snickered, "didn't think such genre were to your taste."

He was quick to snatch the book away and smile, "It was a gift. A joke rather. Does not matter. Boys your age should not be reading this."

Yeah right.

"So you're totally going to ignore my wants and needs?"

"I did not ignore. Remember I acknowledged your wish with a nod."

Was this man always so infuriating!?

"Mr. Cross! I want sex. If you'll let me, I would like to go out and have a good time."

There was an instant reaction on him. He became still like water as his eyes were steady on me and that made me rethink my words.

"Mr. Cross-" I signed but he cut me off and signed instead, "What is it exactly you want Akira?"
