In Two Places at Once

Justin's POV

The show went well; even sold some of the more abstract pieces. Perhaps it was worth coming to New York after all. I miss him. He would have bought all my paintings and then I wouldn't have known how good I was. I had needed to get away. Still didn't stop me missing him though.

Should I ring him? Brian doesn't do needy so I won't. I could give him a call for Christmas.

He would see right through it. Shit!

It's snowing outside and I'm alone in my apartment. I have places I could go but I don't feel like being happy for anyone. I'm gonna ring. Just a short call. Just to wish him a happy Christmas.

"Brian? Happy Christmas. Can't stop, going out soon. Yeah would have been good, Okay, Sure, you too."

I put the cell on the table and sit down on a chair. He said he was busy so I told him I am going out. He wished he could be with me but he can't. I tell him it would have been good and he tells me to have a good time. I don't know where he is going but it isn't anywhere near here. I wish I hadn't spoken to him; all we did was lie to one another.

I go to bed early and just lay there doing nothing until I fall asleep. A knock at the door and I ignore it then my cell goes.

"Open the door."

I run across the room, excited and breathless and there he is. He is here and he is looking at me.

"You didn't go out." He looks at me and I blush. He knew I would be at home. Am I that predictable?

There is no luggage which I don't question. He gives me a present, an envelope. I put it aside, on the table. I want him. He is my present.

He walks up behind me and breathes softly in my ear whilst his arms circle my chest. His tongue works it way expertly from my ear to the shoulder blade, "So soft." he murmurs. I push back to rub against his hardness and he laughs.

"I want you inside me." I have nothing on and give him a condom from the bowl on the table. Brian raises his eyebrows and I watch him as he removes his clothes. He comes towards me whilst I lay on the bed. He is magnificent. The condom is handed to me. "Put it on."

"I'm gonna fuck you so hard. I'm gonna fuck you and fuck you and fuck you." he crawls up the bed towards me and I'm so excited I nearly come.

He is generous with the lube, spreading my cheeks with his hands, and in one quick thrust, inside me. We are urgent together and I can't get enough. He thrusts into me and I push into his hand. Everything comes together where he is holding me with his hand and I yell as the electric shocks shoot through my being. He comes shortly after and slumps heavily on top of me. Brian is true to his word and I am well and truly fucked. After hours of his attentions we fall asleep.

I wake and he is not there. What? I search the apartment and he really isn't here. What the fuck? Who does the shit think he is?

Just as I was doubting whether he had been here at all I find the envelope. He was here and I'm not going crazy. Inside is a bought lease for the apartment I live in. At least it is in my name. When will he stop treating me like this? When will he stop taking care of me?

His cell is switched off. I am so fucking angry. How dare he walk out on me. A cab ride to the airport and I buy the next ticket. I am not putting up with this shit.

The journey calms me down a little and when I get to the loft I am nearly cool with whatever excuse he will give me.

So Brian opens the door and it looks like he has been sleeping for hours. Gus is there. "Couldn't stay away eh?" He pulls me close and kisses me.

"Why did you leave?"

"What?"

"You just fucked off without a word." I am shouting now and he is confused.

"I haven't seen you for nearly six months, what are you, fucking mental? I have been with Gus all night."

I thrust the envelope containing the lease at him. "Explain this."

"I don't understand. How did you get this?"

"You gave it to me last night. You were in my apartment. We fucked, remember?"

He pulled himself together. "Well that's something we would do." He smirked. "Seriously, Mel had an accident and I am happy to say that she is in the hospital and I looked after Gus all night."

I just looked at him. I knew he was telling the truth.

"I left the envelope on the table. I was going to deliver it in person but I got Gus instead. It was going to be one of those surprise things you love so much."

"Well," I said. "It seems that you wanted to see me so much you did anyway."

We would never know what happened, but it didn't matter. It was one of those unexplainable things and it happened at Christmas when such things always happen.
