Chapter sixteen
The music is too loud for his taste. And this is not really the kind of music he likes to listen to. Dance music. And he doesn’t even like to dance at all. But he likes to watch Adam on the dancefloor. Adam is lost in the music and in the moves. His eyes are closed and he seems to enjoy himself. Tommy lets his eyes wander over Adams face. He sees the small drops of sweat. And he likes the way his lips are curling into a small smile while he starts to turn around himself.
And then Tommy lets his eyes wander down Adams body. And he likes how hot his boyfriend is to look at. Everything thight around his body and all black and... hell he wishes they would be somewhere more private and he could touch. He takes a huge sip out of his drink and shakes his head.
“Don’t you think you should be out there and dance with him?” Tommy looks at Isaac, a small grin on his face. “No, I prefer sitting here and watching.” Right after he says that he can see how a guy moves his way close to Adam. Too close if you would ask Tommy. But he is not a jealous guy, so he just drinks some more of his beer and watches. And Isaac is laughing because Tommys face is showing that he doesn’t like what he sees. The guy puts his hand on Adamy chest and Tommy snorts loudly. “Don’t you want to go and tell him to fuck off?” Tommy sighs. He feels stupid. Because the reason why he doesn’t go over to his man is that they are not official yet.
They are dating secretly since almost two months. It’s easy to do, because they were friends and as long as they don’t touch or kiss, nobody will think they become more. And this is a good thing. They can enjoy some privacy and Adam is all his. He doesn’t need to share. But at the same time he does share. With all the twinks on the fucking dancefloor! And now Isaac is laughing about him. And he can see that Adam tries to be polite about getting rid of the guy. But somehow it’s not that easy. The guy doesn’t get the hint or Adam is not clear enough. Adam is looking towards Tommy like he wants him to stop the guy.
Tommy can’t stop himself from gritting his teeth when he sees that the guy puts his hand on Adams butt. That’s it, Tommy has seen enough. He jumps up and can hear that Isaac is clapping. He turnes back to Isaac and gives him the empty beer bottle. Then he starts walking towards Adam. He can see how Adam is trying to be nice to that guy and pushes him slightly away without beeing rude. Tommy doesn’t think he can be as nice as Adam is if that twink doesn’t take his hands off his man. People around him must sense that something is going on because they back off while Tommy is walking through the crowd. He can feel the anger growing in his body while he is getting closer.
Then Adam sees him coming and the look in his face is priceless. There is something like confusion and wonder and also hope. Yeah, Adams eyes are full of hope. And for a second Tommy is ashamed, because he didn’t have the guts to stand to his man until yet. He was too afraid to come out to the public eye and he was hurting Adam. He didn’t realize until yet that he was hurting Adam. As soon as the realization downs on him the anger clears out. He smiles at Adam and then he is right on his side. He taps the twink on his shoulder. When the guy turns around he simply smiles and says: “I think you have had enough fun with my man. I will take it from here.” The guy looks confused between Adam and Tommy. But Tommy doesn’t care about him anymore. He takes Adams hand and pulls him closer. “Hey, my love. I missed you.” He smiles while his other hand strokes over Adams face. And then it seems like there is just the two of them. Adam pulls him closer while his hands wander over Tommys back. “I missed you too. It has been too long since you kissed me.” Tommy must laugh about that one, while he puts his hand on Adams neck. Then Adam leans down and they kiss. And just like that they are official, for everybode clear to see. And Tommy is surprised that he doesn’t care that twitter might expolde any minute now.
He whispers in Adams ear: “I’m sorry it took me so long. I didn’t see I was hurting you.” Adam cups Tommys face. “Thank you. Let us go home. Please, I need to make love to you.” Tommy grins and turns around to lead Adam through the crowd towards the exit. He waves to Isaac who ia sitting with a pleased look at the bar and then they leave the club.
When they arrive to Adams house Adam pulls Tommy towards the bedroom. They are quiet while they undress and get under the covers. “I was so stupid not noticing that I was hurting you.” Tommy strokes over Adams face. Adam takes his hand and kisses each finger. “Don’t be. I should have told you that it was hard for me to pretend we were just friends. But I understand that you needed time. And I was glad to be able to give that to you. I love you, it was easy to wait.” Tommy smiles and kisses Adams nose. “I was just so caught up in the idea of having a secret to share with you. I didn’t want them to know so I could have you for myself for a while longer. Now I know it was stupid because I still have you all for myself and nobody can change that. Plus now I am able and allowed to tell all the twinks to fuck off.” Adam starts to laugh. “You are jealous! This is so cute.” “I am not jealous and this is not cute! I am not cute!” Adam snorts “Yeah you are very manly man and you wanted to be all caveman when you saw that guy on the dancefloor grabing me. It was hot.” “You liked that?” Adam nods. “You can be as possessive as you want with me baby. I like that.”
Tommy kisses Adam tenderly. When they pull away he starts to laugh. “What?” Adam looks confused. “I was just thinking that maybe we crashed twitter tonight.” Adam laughs back then. “It was so worth it. And now do what you wanted to do.” Tommy runs his finger over Adams chest down to his stomach. “Make love to me!”. And Adam doesn’t have to be told twice.
**************
After their relationship came out to the public there were plenty of people who wanted to talk to them. In every interview the reporters tried to get more news about them. But neither Adam nor Tommy talk about their relationship. They simply tweet that they are happy. That has to be enough yet.
Adam is still feeling bad about Sauli. Sauli is a good guy and Adam just wants to talk things out with him. Even if they can’t stay friends, he wants to explain everything to Sauli and apologize. But he is not sure if he is allowed to call Sauli. After his new album is finished he has to go back to Europe to promote the album. He will also be in Finland so there will be a possibility to talk to Sauli.
**************
“Tommy! Are you at home?” Adam steps in the house yelling after his boyfriend. “Yeah, I am in the kitchen making dinner.” As soon as Adam steps in the kitchen he is surrounded by smell of tasty food. He walks over to Tommy and puts his arms around his waist while he is pressing his body against Tommys back. “What did you make us?” Tommy turns around in Adams arms and gives him a kiss. “I wanted to make something different tonight. Just take a shower and then you will see. I hope it will be good.” Adam kisses Tommy. “I am sure it will be delicous. You are a good cook and you know it.”
After the shower Adam walks in the livingroom. Tommy lit up some candles in the room and there is some silent music on. Adam smiles about how romantic Tommy can be. He walks back to the kitchen just in time to see how Tommy is bent over the oven. Adam lets his eyes wander over Tommys backside. “Mmmh, I like to see you like that.” Tommy turns around with a smirk on his face. “Yeah? So I should stay like that for a while?” Adams laughs. “When you can manage it?” Tommy gets shakes his butt and laughs when he can hear Adam gasp. Then Adams hands are on his body. “Hey, dinner is ready. We should eat first.” Adam growls at that. “You little shit! Teasing me like that and then pulling back?” Adam doesn’t sound as serious as he might like to. “First dinner, than I can shake my butt a little more, if you like it. And if you insist I can do it naked.” Adams gasps at that. “Now you are killing me! Get up, put the food on the table and then take off your clothes to dance for me!”
Tommy is laughing at that. Adams lets him go to see that Tommy made lasagne. “You are amazing, but you know I will need some extra workout to get rid of the calories.” Tommy winks at Adam. “That was kind of the plan. And now get on the table.” Adam all but runs to the living room and Tommys laughter follows him.
One hour later they are lying naked in their bed and basking in the afterglow of amazing sex. Adam is stroking over Tommys back. “What are thinking ‘bout?” Tommy can feel that there is something on Adams mind. “You know me so well. I just wanted to talk with you about something I need to do. I am actually thinking about this since a while.” Tommy gets up to face Adam. “Ok, now I get curious. Is it something bad?” Adam takes a deep breath. “I want to meet Sauli when I will be in Finland.” He keeps his gaze loked with Tommys and can feel him freeze beside him. “Tommy, I just need to clear up things between us. I hurt him and I want to apologize.” Adam pulls Tommy closer, but still he can feel how Tommy is growing stiff in his arms.
Tommy tries to get out of Adams embrace but Adam doesn’t let go. “Tommy, please....” Tommy takes a deep breath. “I am not happy about that plan. I can understand that. You need it, but I just... I don’t know. I mean I trust you, but still...” Adam kisses him then tenderly. “Tommy, I don’t want to meet Sauli to make up with him. I just don’t like the way things ended between us. But I won’t meet him if it’s a problem for you.” Tommy sighs and tries again to get up. Adam doesn’t let go. “Adam, I don’t know what to say right now. I don’t want to be that kind of boyfriend who tells you what you should do or not do. But still... He is or was in love with you. So I don’t know if he won’t try to get you back. I mean I would.”
“Tommy, I am with you and I don’t want Sauli back. I don’t want anybody else but you. Please trust me with this. As I said, I would like to do this, but if you can’t take it...” Tommy sighs again and kisses Adam. “I trust you, I really do, but a part of me wants to keep you away from everybody including Sauli. Maybe especially from Sauli. Fuck! I can’t believe that it’s that hard for me!” He closes his eyes for a minute and tries to calm down. Adam is still stroking over his back while he keeps him close to his body. Tommy opens his eyes. “Ok, if you really need to do this, then do it and then please come back to me.” His voice is almost a whisper and Adam can feel how hard this is for Tommy. “Thank you. You don’t need to worry. Tommy, I love you, I will chose you over anybody over and over again. Sauli is in no way a danger for us.” And he kisses Tommy again feeling him relaxing against him.
***********
Two weeks later Adam is on his flight to Finland. He is alone, the band will follow in a few days. He has first some meetings with the finish record company and some interviews. He didn’t call Sauli yet, but he wants to meet him before Tommy gets to Finland. They talked about it and decided it that way. Tommy was still a bit jealous about the idea and Adam had to promise to call him when he knew when the meeting would be. And then of course right after it.
As soon as Adam arrives at his hotel he diales Saulis number. He is nervous and hopes Sauli will pick up. Instead he can hear Saulis mailbox saying that he will call back. Adam sits down on his bed. He is dissapointed about that but he needs to get ready for his first meeting. So he takes a shower and gets ready. His phone goes off while he is sitting in the cab on his way to his meeting. He stares for a second on the display to see that it’s Sauli calling him. He takes a deep breath and takes the call. “Hey Sauli!” He closes his eyes. “Adam, what took you so long to call me?” Sauli is laughing and Adam can feel the relief floating over his body. “I just didn’t know if I could call you after what happened.” Sauli is still laughing. “I know I was pretty mad at you but come on it’s like ages ago. I was hoping you would call me.” Adam smiles at that. “I would like to meet you. You know, to clear things out between us. I really like you and I don’t like the way we ended the things. I mean the way I ended it. Can I see you?” Sauli is silent for a minute. “Does Tommy know that you want to see me?” Adam nods though Sauli can’t see him. “Yes, he knows. He isn’t exactly happy about it.” Sauli is again silent. “Ok, let us meet, but we have to chose a place where we are not too public.” They fix a date. “I am looking forward to see you Adam. Bye.”
As soon as he quits the call, he diales Tommys number. He can hear that Tommy was asleep until he called. He smiles imagening how Tommy is looking now. He likes to see Tommy right after he wakes up. “Hey baby! Sorry for waking you up.” Tommy mumbles something that sounds like “no problem” and Adam chuckles at that. “I wished I could see you right now.” Tommy laughs. “I can send you a pic, but it’s not really that nice at all.” Adam sighs. “I am already missing you. You make me smile.” He pauses a bit. “I will meet Sauli the day after tomorrow.” Tommy sighs at that. “Ok.” Adam knows that it’s hard for Tommy. “Baby, you know you can trust me with this?” Tommy sighs again. “Yeah I know that.” Adam smiles. “Tommy I love you. I really do. You know that.” “I love you too. And I can’t wait to see you in three days. Please get whatever is not cleared between you and Sauli out of the way. I really trust you. But I will feel better when it’s done.”
**********
They meet as some restaurant in Helsinki. Sauli is waiting for him and gets up when he sees him. It’s awkward for a second, because Adam doesn’t know how to act. But Sauli just gets over to him and hugs him. He looks up at Adam after the hug and Adam can remember why he wanted to have something real with Sauli. A small part of him is still sad that it didn’t work out. They sit down and Sauli smiles at him. “I am really happy to see you. How are you?” Adams smiles back. “I am really good. Things are good right now. The album is doing really well.” “Are you happy? I mean with Tommy?” Saulis vioce has a hint of sadness. “Tommy is the one for me. He completes me. I am really happy.” Sauli smiles a sad smile. “I am happy for you. Even if it still hurts.” Adam sighs. “You know that I am really sorry about how things went between us. I was just... I don’t know. I never ment to break your heart.” Sauli lifts his hand to stop Adam. “Adam, I am still dealing with our breakup. I am not mad anymore, I am just a bit sad. And somehow I hate Tommy, but not really. He makes you happy, so I can’t really hate him. But still... “ Sauli sighs, Adam waits for him to continue. “I want you to know that I am not mad at you anymore and I would like to be a friend in future. I am not ready now for this, but I will get there.” Adam can’t stop himself from reaching out to take Saulis hand. “I would like that.” Saulis smile seems happier now. “Enough sad things for the evening. Let us eat something and change the subject. “ Adam agrees with that and the rest of the evening is more releaxed. He can imagine that they will be able to become friends.
*************
He sends Tommy a text because Tommy is on his flight to Finland. He writes that he can’t wait to see him and that he should call him when he gets there. Adam can’t wait to take Tommy in his arms. He gets in his bed and falls asleep within a few minutes. He wakes up to his phone doing a silly dance on the nightstand. It’s Tommy. “Hey baby! Where are you?” Tommy is laughing through the line. “Right in front of your room.” Adam jumps up to open the door. He pulls Tommy inside and kisses him. Tommy is smiling into the kiss. “Oh my god. I missed you so much.” Adam is kissing Tommys face over and over again. And Tommy just lets him. And he doesn’t stop Adam from undressing him. And for sure he doesn’t stop him when his mouth keeps wandering over his body.
Afterwards they lie on the bed, Tommys head on Adams chest, Adams arms tight around him. Tommy looks in Adams eyes. Adams has to smile knowing that Tommy wants to know about the meeting with Sauli. “It went well Tommy. I think we have a chance to become friends someday. For know things are cleared between us. He is still sad about the breakup but he isn’t mad about it. I feel better. Thank you for your trust.” He kisses Tommys forehead. “I am glad for you. I am kind of ashamed about how jealous I was. But I couldn’t help myself. I just want you to be all mine. Only mine.” Adam has to smile at this. “Yeah? You don’t want to share?” Tommy shakes his head. “No, I don’t want to share. It’s hard enough to share you with the fans. So if anybody wants to step between us, sorry but I will have to kill him!” Adam has to laugh about it. Tommy keeps their eyes locked. “Ok, maybe I wouldn’t kill. Still I want you to know that I will shelter our relationship from anything and anybody. And be sure I will marry you one day and I will be with you even when we become old and wrinkled. No matter what will happen, I will stand by you.” Adam can feel tears pushing in his eyes. “Tommy, wow. I am speechless, I mean, wow. This is all I want. I love you so much!” And then they kiss.
*************
Years later when they exchange their vows Tommy remembers that night in Helsinki. He looks at his husband right after they kiss for the first time as a married couple and he smiles. Everything he ever wanted became true. He can’t help grinning while he is looking at his husband. The word is running around in his mind. He looks around to see all the family members and their friends. His eyes stop on Sauli who is standing there with his husband. And he is happy that he things went well for all of them. He can’t wait to dance with his husband, even if the music will be too loud and not really his taste. The man beside him is everything that matters at all.
THE END.
