Chris smiled more. "Yes you do." He gave his hand a little squeeze. He was so excited he took the chance on this and it was going so well. "Will you be okay if there are points of time were I don't have much time because I have to study? Though if we could just study together that would be nice." Okay so maybe he wasn't completely over his nerves yet. But that didn't change that fact that he was happy. "Thank you so much for giving me your number."

Jason nodded his head at Chris's question. He got it college was tough, tougher than any job he'd ever worked. "I'd like that," he said with a smile ",and you don't have to thank me for giving you my number silly."

Tell me I'm inside your head♪

"But I do. And you still agreed to meet with me even after being told that I'm not gay. You have made me very happy and I'm having such a good time with you. You know tomorrow there is going to be a fair in town. If you're free we can go together."

"Oh honey I could tell you were gay from the moment I laid eyes on you," Jason stated ",I'm also pretty good at realizing when someone is eyeing me up. I'd love to go to the fair. All my classes are online so I'm plenty free."

"Am I really that obvious?" Chris looked himself over like there would be a sign on him that said 'gay'. "I always thought I pulled off straight pretty well. I am glad you could see that I am though. I also didn't realize I flirted that hard with you last night. I may owe Gabby for forcing me to go out last night." Chris got real excited hearing the had a date for tomorrow. "Great. I really can't wait now." He smiled widely like a little kid at Christmas.

Jason nodded with a smile. Chris seemed nice enough though he did also appear a bit timid. He just chalked it up to the years spent in the closet. A waitress breezed by and refilled Jason's coffee mug before asking if Chris wanted anything.

"I'll take a coffee too. Thank you." Chris smiled to her. He heard his phone ring, checking it his smile instantly fell. He ignored it and sent a text real quick that he was studying and would call back later. "That was my mother."

Jason gave a small nod when Chris explained it was his mother who had been calling him. "I know it's tough but I'm sure your parents love you who knows they might surprise you," he said

Chris sighed and shook his head. "I really don't know. And it's not a risk I can take right now. But it is enough to me that I have you now and it isn't a complete secret." He forced himself to smile.

Jason gave Chris a sad smile before reaching across the table and squeezing his hand. He wasn't going to push Chris to tell his parents because coming out was hard enough but Chris seemed almost certain his parents would reject him. He didn't wan that for him. "Well I'm always here if you need me," Jason said with a smile.

Chris smiled for real now. "Thank you so much. I'm here for you too. Would you like to go for a walk now?" He really wanted to just spend more time with Jason.

Jason gave a quick glance at his watch and nodded. He still had plenty of time before he had to be at work and there was a local park with a lovely view of the water he liked to frequent. "Sure there's a really lovely park about a block or so from here," he said as he stood and tossed some money onto the table. It was more than enough to cover their drinks and a tip.

"Great!" Chris smiled and got up. "I could have paid for my own drink. But thank you." He blushed as he thought about taking Jason's hand but he didn't know if that would be okay. "I really didn't want to have to say bye to you."
