Chapter 6 : Recap
I get off the phone with Devon and immediately conference the gang—Nina, Roy, JJ, and Blake. After detail discussion and opinions thrown we calm down. Personally the idea of Devon calling me trying to woe support against Blake did not sit well with me. Being the romantic that I am, I was charmed by his genuine affection for my friend and overall commitment he has to him. I could understand him feeling inadequate to a person Blake has known for years, or even the fact that unknown council could veto your right to be with Blake at any minute. Tough road to travel, I will admit.
The aggressive ones on the phone, i.e. Roy did not see things that clearly. He was more than suspicious of these moves. As he talked, I remained tight lipped. I still was upset about him and Aiden spending so much time together, while I barely saw Aiden. But in this instance, I felt the overall forecast was bigger than my pride, and I included him in the circle of discussion.
I expected Nina to come strong with cuts like,
“If you want to join the war, go right on ahead, but just so you know, you will be put on the front-line so I won't have to worry about what you're doing behind my back.”
But Nina has been a bit more optimistic these days, now that here and her guy Troy have been together. When Roy, Aiden, and I met him he seemed kind of nervous. I assumed meeting three gay guys as a straight guy for your girl is unexpected, but he settled well. Nina said that the heart makes you do crazy things. I could not believe it.
JJ seemed to take the low road and said,
“Give him the boot. We don’t have to put up with that mess. Devon is to grown for childish games.”
He could not get around the idea of Devon calling his ex to get Blake’s attention.
Blake on the other hand absorbed our words, and in the end concluded that he really loved that man. He would definitely speak to him about his attempt, but he overall could not see his self with no else. I have never heard Blake speak like that before, and in that moment I knew he was serious, and because of his sincerity I supported Blake’s decision to stay with him, and everyone else eventually did the same.
