Chapter 145 Winner

"Hey, we're the winner at!" Fabian asks entering Caleb's room. "Whoa, that's some trophy," Fabian said in awe. "Nice right? It also comes with two hundred and fifty grand and that's in U S dollars bruh." Caleb said with a wide smile. "Dang dude, that's some serious paper." "Right? I wired fifteen grand in your bank account by the way." "My account? Why?" Fabian asks.

"Come on brother, where would I be without you? Family is everything to me, you know that. I also wired some in Ty's account and Anna's and I have recordings of my win for all of you." He said handing Fabian a flash drive. "Congrats brother and thank you," Fabian said hugging him.

"Don't mention it, now come on, Chris is waiting on Skype, we need to practice our dance for the wedding." He said running towards the gym. "Hey Caleb, wait!" "What?" "Are you really okay with this wedding? I'm only asking because you've been running from it for months now."

"Remember when you told me that it was an honor to share your day with me?" "Yeah," "Well the feeling is mutual brother," Caleb said pinching Fabian's cheek and running off. "Alrighty then," Fabian said chasing after him.

Christian was in the gym of their penthouse in Europe practicing one of his dance moves when Jared walks in, walks over to the blasting stereo, and switch it off. "Heeey, what gives?" Christian asks glaring at him. "Can I just talk to you for a bit?" Jared asks taking both of Chris's hands in his. "Okay."

"I'm in awe of you right now baby. The way you floor those men today. They always underestimate you and you always floor them, leaving them with their eyes bulging and their mouths on the floor. I love it, and I love you...

You know how good you are and what you're worth and I love the way you don't take any bullshit from anyone, not even me." Jared laugh. "You're an amazing dancer, an amazing Architect, and an even more amazing boyfriend."

"Wow, all these compliments, what's going on baby, did you do something wrong?" Chris asks. "No, I haven't, you're an amazing person and I just thought I should tell you. Now on a more serious note, I know it tore you apart when your parents disown you because you're gay but I watched as you cried your last tear.

You climb out of bed and pulled yourself together, you pulled your life together and I'm very proud of you and of what you've achieved, I know it's the fear of being rejected like that again that's keeping you from telling your cousins that you're gay. Just know that I'll always be here for you, always, no matter what." Jared said kissing him.

"Thank you, baby," Chris whispers wiping tears from his eyes. "It hurts that I can't just be myself around them, you know, but if I know my cousins well, especially Caleb, they would probably never speak to me again, and I….." "I know, you don't want to lose them, I understand but Ty would still talk to you right?" "I think he would but then his brothers would probably be upset with him for being friends with me."

"What about Samson you think he would pull away from you too?" 'Not sure, He seems pretty cool but he also has a very scary side, a side I really don't want to be against me or us." 'I guess there's no coming out of the closet for us huh?" "Nope, not in this lifetime," Chris said with a heavy sigh.
