Taking a break from 'Crossing Paths' right now but I've done this in the meantime. This take places the night of the Freshers' Ball and the sequel 'After The Ball' obviously takes places afterwards.
As John Paul knocked on the front door of the flat he was a bit nervous. He knew Nancy would be at the ball and he knew that she would have another go at him. He was about to knock again when the door was opened.
“Alright John Paul. You here for Katy?”
“Hi Warren. I’m alright. Is she ready?”
“Not yet. Come on in. I’ll give her a shout”
“Thanks” Warren moved away from the door allowing John Paul to step inside.
“Katy! John Paul’s here!”
“Just a minute!” She called out from what John Paul assumed was her bedroom.
But John Paul wasn’t listening. He was otherwise occupied.
He had never got a chance to look at Warren close up before. Now he had, he could see why Louise and Mercedes had fallen for him. His toned body was just begging to be touched. His voice was music to John Paul’s ears and his smile cold make anyone go weak at the knees. Everything about him was so confident and effortless.
“John Paul? Hey John Paul!” Warren was standing front of him holding a can of lager out to the young man. “Are you alright? Here, looks like you need it”
John Paul took the can. “I’m fine. Just thinking about tonight”
“Thanks for taking Katy with you. She was well happy when you asked her earlier.”
“Was she?” He took a drink from the can, not able to look away from Warren’s eyes.
“Yeah. She was worried that she would miss out on going but now she doesn’t and I get the flat to myself tonight so we both win.”
The sound of Katy’s shoes broke the silence as she stepped out of her room.
“Well?” She twirled round “What do you think?”
“Stunning.” Warren handed her a bag as she walked towards John Paul
“You look terrific. Shall we get off then?”
Warren glared at him “I meant to the Ball, I’m gay remember?”
“Just checking” Warren laughed and kissed Katy on the top of her head.
“Go and have a good time the pair of you”
“See you later then”
“Bye Warren, thanks for the drink.”
“Anytime.”
Katy and John Paul made their way towards the door. John Paul stopped as he felt a hand on his shoulder just as Katy went down the stairs.
Warren pulled the blond close enough to whisper in his ear.
“If anyone tries anything funny with our Katy, let me know alright? I’m trusting her with you so look after her alright?”
John Paul nodded. He couldn’t speak because all he could think about was how hot Warren’s breath felt against his neck and how sexy his voice was, even as a whisper.
“John Paul?” The sound of Katy’s voice from the middle of the stairs cleared the lust induced fog in his brain.
“Coming.” He went down the stairs to join his new found friend and the walked down the street to the SU Bar.
Maybe being Katy’s friend might not be so bad after all.
