"What have you done?" Ethan gasped, feeling as if air was being dragged out of his lungs.
"Ethan!" Antonio called, quickly grabbing a nearby towel. "What are you doing here?"
Ethan couldn't believe Antonio had just asked him that question. He had seen his friend completely naked before but seeing him half naked there, he felt really disgusted.
"What am I doing here?" Ethan chuckled bitterly, pointing at himself. "Is that all that you can ask me right now?"
"Ethan, it's..."
Antonio tried to explain himself but he got cut off by Ethan who was staring at him as if he had just killed someone.
"How could you do this?" He almost yelled at his friend. "I... I don't even know what to think of you right now. You... You are a married man and... You are cheating on him right in the room where you and he are staying? How..."
"Ethan, please... Let me explain." Antonio said, slowly moving to his friend but Ethan just took a step behind, away from his friend.
Ethan had never felt the way he did at that time. He took a deep breath, furiously turning to face Bruce who was playing with his hair
"And you..." He yelled. "...what the hell are you doing here? Are you not ashamed to be sleeping with a married man?"
All this time, Bruce had been quiet but Ethan was getting on his nerves and he didn't appreciate it at all. He gave Ethan a confident look, rolling his eyes.
"Look, Antonio and I didn't do anything... yet and you know why..." He paused, giving an evil grin. "It's because you disturbed us. What the heck is wrong with you? What are you even doing here?"
Ethan wanted to give Bruce a hot slap but for only one thing that was stopping him, he would have sent him in a coma with a hot slap.
He turned and faced his friend. "I still can't believe you did this after I begged you not to do it. What part of you are a married man don't you get?"
"Ethan!" Antonio sighed. "Man, I told you already that..."
"I don't wanna hear it." He slightly closed his eye, looking all around. "It's a good thing he's not even here and..." He gave Bruce a cold look. "...I think Bruce needs to leave."
"What?" Bruce chuckled bitterly, folding his arms on his chest. "I am not going anywhere because Antonio is my boyfriend and I have every right to be with him. He and I have been together for so long. Do you expect me to leave him just like that?"
"Can you hear yourself right now?" Ethan yelled, pointing at him. "Don't make me angry because I am not happy right now. You and I need to leave before Praveen comes back and sees."
But it was already too late. Before Ethan could even say another word, the door opened wide revealing the gorgeous boy who had just returned. The moment he saw what was going on in the room, his face just got blank, an expression that Ethan couldn't read. He got really scared, his heart pounding deep in his chest. He hadn't expected Praveen to find them in that situation.
Praveen on the other hand got really surprised when he entered the room. His husband was half naked and Bruce was only with a towel. They had probably been making out and who knew what else they had done. But that didn't shock him. The most shocking thing was when he saw Ethan with them. His heart simply shattered and his body felt cold.
He took a deep breath and walked away, leaving all them in the room.
"Oh my God!"
Ethan shook his head and rushed out of the room to follow the boy and explain things to him. When he came out of the room, he found the boy rushing to the elevator. He started running after him and when he reached him, he gripped his arm and stopped him.
"Praveen, please, let me explain." He breathed audibly, trying to find a way to resolve things. "It's not what you saw back there. You've completely misunderstood things."
But Praveen was standing there without even looking at Ethan. He was so disappointed that he somehow blamed Ethan for everything. He knew everything and yet didn't tell him anything. His heart was on fire.
"What..." Ethan was failing to breathe properly. "...you saw isn't what it looks like. You see... I... that was my boyfriend you just saw back there." He lied which he regretted later. "We... we just came to give you a surprise before..."
"Surprise?" Praveen quickly turned and faced the hunk. "Ethan, I may seem naïve to you but I am not stupid. I know what was going on there because..."
"I seriously..."
"You don't have to lie to me to help him." Praveen felt tears building in his eyes. He felt like such a fool. "But you know what..." He chuckled bitterly, feeling himself melting. "You could have at least given me a heads up to let me know what I was gonna go through once I got married. But you just watched and played me for a fool. You even supported him in everything, smiling and..."
"What are you talking about?" Ethan frowned, shaking his head. "I swear to you that..."
"He's Antonio's boyfriend, Ethan!" Praveen fumed, yelling in the man's face with tears following. "I know about him because that is the same man that has been trying to make my life miserable ever since he appeared."
To say Ethan was surprised would be an understatement. "What? How..." He was scared. "How did you know that? I mean, did he..."
"I know everything because Antonio told me himself when he arrived." He cried softly, not even bothering rubbing his tears. "You don't have to cover for him and make me a fool. I know he is your friend but you could have at least told me what I was getting myself into. You could have said something but you just sat there, smiled and supported him through..."
"No!" Ethan shook his head, feeling tears building in his eyes. "I had no idea that you knew and I didn't know that he was gonna come back in his life. I swear I just wanted him to settle down with someone who could make him happy. I never had any idea that Bruce would return or that Antonio would have an affair with him."
"But you knew that he was in love with Bruce all along." He slowly rubbed his tears. "Just leave me alone, Ethan."
He quickly turned and started leaving but Ethan ran in front of him, blocking his path. He was trying to explain himself, probably bring the situation to order and try to convince Praveen that Antonio was a good man but Praveen wasn't listening. Praveen simply turned and started rushing up the stairs, away from his troubles. But Ethan followed him there.
Meanwhile, back at the room, Antonio quickly took his jean and started putting it on quickly.
"What are you doing?" Bruce asked harshly, moving closer to him. "Don't tell me you are gonna be running after that plain Jane?"
