Several months had passed quickly. Fran and Noah’s relationship deepened as time went by. They were each other’s ally. Although, they would still experience simple quarrels from time to time; those things were not enough to break them apart. Fran and Noah swore to be together no matter what.
Fran and Noah spent their first Christmas together. Fran gifted Noah a knitted scarf and gloves; while, Noah gave Fran a ring.
During New Year’s Eve, Fran invited Noah to celebrate it with him and his mom. They went to a lake house owned by Fran’s mother. They ate delicious food; Fran sang songs in front of a bonfire while Noah played the guitar. When the clock struck twelve, the three of them watched a firework display sponsored by the city to welcome the New Year.
When they went back to school after the winter break, some students noticed how the two popular guys in school would treat each other. Yes, they seemed close since the first day of school—but there was something different about them. It seemed like they were more than friends? Some students even confessed that they had seen Noah and Fran holding hands when they thought nobody was watching. The whole fujodanshi population in the university secretly cheered for Noah and Fran. No matter what their relationship with each other was, for the fujodanshi group, they were already canon.
Well, Fran and Noah were not necessarily secretive about their relationship, though, they were being discreet while they were in public places. Not because Fran and Noah were afraid to be judged; they simply wanted to live their lives in peace.
“My afternoon class got cancelled.” Fran was talking to Noah through his phone. “I have some time to spare before our date.”
“I guess, I shall ditch my afternoon class for you–”
“Please, don’t do that.” Fran interrupted his boyfriend. “I prefer a good student than a naughty one.”
He heard Noah’s laughter from the other line. “Sorry, boo. ‘Love you.”
“I’ll wait for you in your apartment.”
“Hmm, where’s my ‘I love you’?”
Fran thought of teasing his boyfriend. “Hmm…”
“Fran, I love you. I’ll kiss you later. Be ready…”
“Well, I’m always ready for you…”
“Don’t tempt me, please. I may not stop with just a kiss.”
“Oh. I want to see you try…”
“Hey–”
Fran ended the call. He took a cab with a lovely smile on his face.
Fran had been to Noah’s apartment many times now. The first time Noah had brought him there, Fran was very impressed by how clean Noah’s apartment was. He thought, it was because of the cleaning lady, but after spending time with Noah, Fran learned that his boyfriend was a neat freak. Noah’s clothes, shoes, and other things were all well-organized.
The cab stopped in front of a high-end condominium building. Fran paid the driver his fare and went inside the building. The security in front greeted him. The man was already familiar with Fran.
Fran rode the elevator up to the 35th floor where Noah’s apartment was located. He also knew the door lock passcode, so he went inside without any hassle.

He felt a little sleepy, so he went straight to Noah’s room. Fran had an hour and a half before his date with Noah. He thought of taking a nap while waiting. Fran hugged Noah’s pillow and smelled his boyfriend’s scent that was still lingering on it. Not a moment longer, he was dozing off already.

“Hello, boo…”
Instead of a huge black rabbit like the one in his dream, Fran saw his boyfriend lying on top of him, smiling, and ever so handsome…
“You big oaf!” Fran exclaimed. “Get off me—”
Fran couldn’t finish his sentence because his lips were captured by Noah’s. His boyfriend had always been a passionate kisser, so Fran couldn’t help but find himself enjoying every bit of intimacy with Noah. To deepen the kiss, Fran placed his hand on the back of Noah’s head and his other free hand caressed Noah’s back.
A moan escaped Fran’s lips when Noah started to gently suck his tongue while his hand was touching Fran’s chest. They had never crossed the line beyond kissing yet, however, that day; Fran felt that he was ready to give Noah everything.
Noah began kissing Fran on his neck. Fran tried to lift up the hem of Noah’s shirt, so he could feel his body directly. The two were so into pleasuring each other when suddenly they heard the doorbell rang.
It felt like buckets of cold water were poured over Fran and Noah. They stopped kissing, though, their bodies remained closer to each other.
“What the fuck?” Noah looked irritated. “Who’s bothering us now?”
Fran giggled. “Maybe it’s the police. They’re going to arrest you for being so hot…”
“Well, I’m not going to move from here. I’ll stay with you.”
The doorbell kept on ringing. The high-pitched tone from the device was starting to get annoying. So, Noah had no choice but to leave Fran and open the door.
“Shit.” Noah muttered before walking out of the room.
Fran sat on the bed and fixed his clothes. He made sure that he looked nothing out of ordinary before he followed Noah.
“I know about your schedule, brother, that’s why I knew you’d be home…” said a female voice.
Fran saw Noah talking with his sister Natalie. The girl was wearing her school uniform. Did she ditch school?
“Why are you here? You’re supposed to be in school!” Noah voiced out what Fran was thinking.
“My school is having a program. I don’t need to be there. I just showed my face for attendance, then, I went here.”
“What about Johannes? Did you come here alone?”
“No! Johannes is waiting outside. And I am not alone. She’ll be here any moment—Fran!” Natalie blurted out Fran’s name when she saw him. “I’m so happy to see you!”
Natalie ran towards his direction and hugged him tightly. Fran just laughed it off and hugged Natalie in return. When Fran met Natalie formally for the first time months ago, he actually remembered her as the girl he encountered inside a pastry shop. However, it was always a mystery for Fran why Natalie cried when they informed her that Noah and Fran were actually boyfriends. No, she was not crying because she was against the relationship, but it was obvious that Natalie was crying because she was sad. Maybe she thought Fran stole Noah from her. So, from then on, Fran became soft in dealing with Natalie.
“Don’t hug my boyfriend so casually!” Noah said to his sister.
Natalie let go and looked at Fran. “I’ve always wanted to ask you this, Fran. Why did you choose my brother? Why did you fall in love with this slob?”
“No reason at all. I just love him.” Fran answered in all honesty.
Noah hugged him from behind. “He-he. You cannot question our love for each other, Natalie. So, go home and do your homework.”
Natalie’s face became red. She was about to slaughter her brother with words when the doorbell rang again.
“Who is it this time?” Noah complained.
Natalie’s facial expression changed. She became excited. “It must be her…”
Fran was curious. “Her?”
Natalie opened the door. They saw a tall girl wearing a face mask and shades.
“Chelsea!” Noah exclaimed.
Fran took a deep breath. Yes, no doubt, it was Chelsea Meyer!
*****
Fran was just listening to Chelsea Meyer’s story about her modeling stint abroad. He could feel that Noah was trying to involve him to the conversation, but Fran was comfortable not talking at all. Chelsea’s escapades were worth listening to.
“I’ll be staying here for a long time. I accepted a project from a big company.” The model was smiling lovingly while talking. She looked beautiful and enchanting.
“So, you’re going to be at my birthday party?” It was Natalie.
“Oh, I won’t miss it for the world, darling…” Chelsea gave Natalie a light kiss on the cheek.
“Yay!” Natalie’s gaze turned to Fran. “You’re going to attend my party, too, right?”
Fran nodded. “Of course.”
“Can I casually call you ‘Fran’?” Chelsea was talking to him.
Fran smiled at her. “Yes.”
“He is my boyfriend.” Noah hooked his arm on Fran’s hips.
“I’m sorry?” Chelsea’s smile faded. “Did I hear it right? Fran is your boyfriend? As in your guy friend?”
Noah laughed. “Chels, Fran is not just a friend. He is my boyfriend, my partner. I’m going to marry him someday.”
Chelsea Mayer stood up. “What?” She looked at Fran, but she didn’t say anything.
“Fran is too good for my brother, right?” Natalie interjected. “I always wonder how lucky my brother to have Fran as his boyfriend. It’s not fair!”
Chelsea’s smile returned as if nothing happened. “Congratulations to the two of you! Sorry for acting up earlier. I was just shocked.”
“No worries,” Fran replied. “Noah and I know that some people are still not familiar with same sex relationship. I hope we didn’t make you feel uncomfortable.”
Chelsea’s smile widened. “No. I’m happy for you and Noah.”
Although, the scheduled date between Fran and Noah didn’t push through, that day was still filled with happiness because Fran got to bond with Noah’s sister and friend. He thought everything was okay.
Days later, after Fran’s lectures, he didn’t expect to be approached by a bodyguard informing him that Chelsea Meyer wanted to talk to him.
Fran got curious. What did someone like Chelsea Meyer want from him? Fran’s instinct told him to call Noah first to inform him about his friend’s intention. However, Noah was busy at that moment because of a work given by his older brother.
So, Fran took the dive and went inside the car with Chelsea’s bodyguard. Not a moment later, the car stopped in front of the building where Chelsea Meyer was waiting. When Fran got out of the car, he saw that the building was actually the new luxury hotel that belonged to Fran’s very own Grande Family. His parents were one of the investors of the said establishment.
Fran went inside the hotel. The bodyguard informed him that Chelsea Meyer was staying at the hotel’s penthouse suite. He rode the elevator.
When Fran reached his desired floor, he saw several security personnel guarding the door to Chelsea’s room. One of them escorted Fran inside the room. He couldn’t help but wander his gaze around the room. Fran was deeply impressed. He would tell his mom about it later. Nothing could make his parents happier than knowing that they’d invested their money into something worth every penny.
“Is this your first time inside a penthouse suite? Or your first time inside a luxury hotel like this?” said a female voice.
Fran turned his gaze to the direction of the voice. He saw Chelsea Meyer. She was wearing a red silk robe, her hair was in disarray, her lips were dyed bloody red, and a lit cigarette was on her hand. Fran was taken aback for a moment. Chelsea looked nothing like the first time he saw her at Noah’s apartment. Though, she looked beautiful as ever. Even without the glitz and glamour brought by her career, Chelsea Meyer was no doubt still one of the most beautiful faces in the country.
“Take a seat…” Chelsea pointed at a small round table inside the room. There were two empty chairs around it. Fran took a seat on one of them. “Maybe you’re wondering why I invited you here…”
Fran nodded in agreement.
Chelsea put the cigarette on her lips and smoked. She blew out the smoke in front of Fran’s face. “I just want to tell you one simple thing: Get away from Noah, you gay freak.” Chelsea gave him a disgusted look.
Fran kept his cool.
Well well….why is it always some crazy chick who is man chasing that causes trouble!
