Chapter 50

"I'm so sorry that I put you through such pain. I really am. I did tell you the truth. I was scared.

My father found out about us." Leon spoke. Seth pulled back away.

"What do you mean?" Seth questioned.

"When I saw him on graduation he asked me about you. He said that he had come home early and wanted to talk to me. When he came to my room. He heard some moaning. He figured that I brought a girl home until he heard your voice. He told me that he opened the door a bit to verify what he heard and was grossed out when he found it to be true."

"Why didn't you just tell me?" Seth asked.

"I couldn't. I didn't know how to tell you. Also, there was more to it though. You know that I didn't want to take over the company right." Seth nodded his head. "Well, my father knew about my rebellion due to everything that I was doing. He knew that I didn't want to follow him. So he made me a deal. He told me if I stopped the relationship with you. He would allow me to live my life as I pleased. He would even help me find a job as well. He also told me that if I didn't. He would disown me as his son. He told me that he didn't want an abnormal and disgusting son in his life. He wanted me to follow the normal path. Meet a woman, have kids. He said he didn't care what path I chose as long as it didn't involve you." Seth listened to Leon as he spoke. He couldn't believe the words that Leon was telling him. About his father. "I knew how hard it would to get a job, and with connections, it's a lot easier. I wanted to get away from that man, but I also needed his help. So that is why. I made the choice I did." Seth thought of what Leon had felt during that time. How his father could be so cruel like that.

"So, your father wanted you to choose between love and how you look in society."

"I told you. I didn't care for that man. I didn't want anything to do with him. I swear, all he did was ruin my life. However, at that time. I had no other choice. After we broke up. My father set up several jobs for me. None of them worked out, and eventually, my father just gave up on me. I was 27 at that time. I had met a man from one of my old jobs that was starting a band. So I thought I would give it a try and found that it was my calling. We started small, but have become quite the hit. We are aiming to become pro's. But right now, we are enjoying what he have at the moment." Leon stopped for a moment and looked at the floor then at Seth as he continued. "The day I got into a fight with a drunk at our concert. I cursed that day thinking it was just not my night. That was until I got to the ER and saw you. My heart skipped a beat. It had been twenty years since we last saw each other. Yet I felt like I was back in High School again. I just couldn't believe that I found you once again. Even when I thought you being married, but soon found you were in a misted of divorce. I couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was my choice to leave you to become someone better. However, I believe it was fate that brought us back together. We were meant to be." Leon hugged Seth tightly in his arms. Seth pulled away from the man and looked him in the eyes.

"Then why did you say those things? Why did you do those things?" Leon looked down at the floor.

"I didn't know what to do with the feelings that were filling me. The words of my father kept replying in my head. He had said a lot worse to me and I didn't know if I could take it being called those things again. I was scared. Scared of being abnormal."

"How do you feel right now?" Seth question. Leon lifted his head.

"When you told me that you didn't want to see me again, my heart broke. I don't want to part from you. I like you. I like you so much it hurts." Seth smiled a bit.

"If we decide to start over, I want to let you know that I won't forgive you if you dare cheat on me again. If you do. We are over. There will not be a next time, you understand me." Seth's voice was stern but soft at the same time.

"I do." Leon replied. A sweat smile slowly made its way on Seth's lips. Leon grabbed Seth's head and softly rubbed it with his thumb and finger. Seth reached up with one hand and placed it on Leon's. Leon leaned down and caught Seth's lips with his. He pulled away. Seth's eyes were beginning to gloss over. A small redness was across his face.

"Um….Did you forget about me?" The two looked over at Jeremy. Seth's face turned bright red. He couldn't believe he just kissed another man in front of his coworker.

"What the fuck are you still doing here?" Leon words were harsh.

"Hey, it's not my fault that you started your whole drama backstory. I was unsure where to interrupt." Leon glared at the man. "Yeah yeah! I can tell I'm not wanted. Let me get my stuff before you start going at it." Jeremy made his way into the front room and gathered his stuff. Leon leaned against the wall as he watch Seth help the man.

"I'm sorry." Seth spoke as he walked Jeremy to the door.

"No problem. I just hope with this issue getting fixed that you are yourself again at work. Just do me a favor."

"What is that?" Seth asked.

"Don't overdo it. We still have this to take care of." He pointed at the bag that was about to burst open. Seth blushed, his eyes darting from side to side. "Call me when you are ready to work on this again kay." Jeremy spoke as he left. Seth closed the door, locked it, and sighed.

"Is he gone?" Seth turned around to look at Leon who was standing behind him. He couldn't believe that he had kissed Leon in front of Jeremy.

"Yeah." Seth let a sigh. Leon walked over to Seth.

"Good." Seth looked up at Leon and Leon caught the smaller man's lips. Seth stumbled back a bit until he hit the door. Leon pulled his lips away. "Let's go to the bedroom." Seth nodded.
