A gay story: Blind Love Ch. 07
“No! You won’t!” Des rolled his eyes as he cleaned the bar counter getting his brewery restaurant ready for that day’s opening. “But I really love him! I couldn’t let go of him at the airport! Now I am feeling lonely and depressed!” Alex whined.
“Don’t you have to work?” Des said exasperated with Alex going on and on about Noah.
“I had a morning shift, I dropped him, because he insisted that he wanted to do it alone and went for my shift and now I am not moving from here till I get good advice from the wise man behind the bar counter!” Alex folded his arms in front of his chest and pouted.
“Look Kid! I am not okay with you saying anything about love till I interview this cowboy! Yes! His creepy ‘I see dead people thing’ doesn’t seem like a fraud, because I spoke with Enzo’s cousin and everything is true. In fact he was taken aback when I told him what we know! So we need to understand how a dumb jock chef like you will deal with that? He is an orphan and has lost an opportunity to build a home and make a family once, and at an awfully young age. We can’t subject him to you, till we are sure, you wouldn’t screw it!” Des started cleaning the glasses after he was done with his monologue.
“I am good for him and I will take care of my cutie! I will make a superb boyfriend and an even better husband! And a father! For our children, I mean! You should give me more credit! I have spoken to Cathy and arranged a couple of interviews for Pastry chefs in Austin.” Alex said proudly and smiled like a kid on Christmas morning.
“Lexi! I have practically raised you since we were neighbours and you are like my first born even before I married your sister! So I know how much credit you deserve! Let me meet Noah and we will take it from there!” Des turned around and started adjusting his brew bottles. “Invite him for Ori’s wedding! Let’s see if he says yes to come as a boyfriend to a family wedding? And if he can survive your and my families, then I will speak with him about his mental health to be your boyfriend!” Des said all this with a tough voice, but Alex saw his smiling reflection in the display mirrors.
He jumped over the counter and hugged Des from behind, kissing his cheeks saying “Love you! Love you! Love you! Bro!” Des laughed and hit Alex with the towel and shooed him away, “Now get the fuck out of my bar and make yourself useful in the kitchen!”

“Everyone is saying they love Noah, but I can’t?” Alex grimaced at Cathy.
“Look at that polite, well-spoken and educated cutie cowboy! Who wouldn’t love him? When we say it, it’s a comment, if you are saying it, it means commitment! Whatever I know about him now, he is a lifetime sort of guy. So think hard and not when hard!” Cathy smiled and patted Alex’s cheeks with both her palms.
“I am adorable too, you know! And I am a lifetime sort of guy as well!” Alex rested his head on Cathy’s shoulder, “I really love him!” He confessed.
“Good! You know what you want from you two, give it time and go for it.” Cathy and Alex looked at Noah, his posture straight, tone polite as he spoke and smiled with every relative, Des was introducing him to the family as Alex’s boyfriend.
He wasn’t wearing his sunglasses, hence almost everyone were surprised when he told them about his blindness, but he didn’t say it as if it was a disability, he said it in an even tone like he was describing his hair colour, it was nature’s gift to him and he accepted it wholeheartedly.

Alex looked at his date from the ten feet distance, as he sang on the podium, filling the room and hearts with country love songs, looking extraordinary in his olive suit and white shirt with white canvas shoes. Kay had dressed him up like a Ken doll. His hair was now falling on his forehead like always but when Alex had gone to pick him from his hotel room, Kay had parted his hair to the side making him look like Alex’s prom date. Alex fell head over heels again, gawking at a nervously smiling Noah.
Kay didn’t attend the wedding but had stayed overnight, taking pictures of the countryside and the many mansions it had. Alex felt nervous because he would be staying with Noah for the weekend. He wanted to make Noah happy and wanted him to think Alex was a lifetime person.

“You got to try the fish!” Alex was feeding small morsels to Noah, he had catered for the wedding and was shamelessly showing off to his date.
“You made all this?” Noah took a bite and moaned, making Alex proud of his profession.
“No Cutie! I have a small team and get hired help but all this is my recipe!” He fed him his traditional recipe of Spaghetti and Bolognese.
“Hmm! The Italians would have been thrilled with this!” Noah smiled fully.
“That’s racist you know!” Des joked as he looked at the cutest couple in the wedding, sitting in the corner and eating after everyone else.
Noah stood with a jerk, Des had to grab the chair from falling over. “Sorry Sir! That’s not what I meant! It was just a joke and the food is so good, so I was just complimenting X and I really didn’t mean to be offensive!” Noah got flushed and bothered, speaking fast and wringing his hands.
Alex got up and stood behind him, looking miffed at Des, touching his chest to Noah’s back.
“Hey! Cariño! I was joking! Don’t worry so much! You don’t have to try to make a good impression! We all love you! In fact we have voted to replace Alex with you in the family. He is old now!” Des hugged the small gentleman to him and kissed his forehead, “You don’t have to worry kid! You are the good one!” He patted his head and shook Noah gently by his shoulders.
“Give him to me!” Noah said, taking a step back and feeling the air for Alex, till he could find his huge bicep which he encircled. “When you replace him, give me Alex! I want him!” Noah smiled. Des looked at Alex and winked. “He is all yours but he comes with a manual and no warranty!” Des patted Noah’s cheek and left smiling.
“I love you!” Alex blurted out, still standing next to Noah, his eyes on a departing Des, too nervous to look at Noah. “Good! You should! Or I will have one more thing to talk to my therapist about, my one sided love for a tall, muscular, wonderful chef with a huge schlong!” Noah smiled.
“Noyee! To see the man you love with someone else is a different kind of hurt. I don’t want to experience that again. I want you to be with me if I make you proud, if you are okay to be seen with me! If you…”
Noah touched Alex’s lips with his fingers and then replaced them with his lips, shutting him up.
He parted his lips and kissed Alex slowly, “This is the first wedding I have attended. I don’t mingle in a crowd, I don’t navigate through strange places with moving furniture and I definitely don’t kiss men in public! X, I am here because of you. I know the hurt! I can’t hurt you even if you hurt me!” Noah said this quietly and hugged Alex.
“I will never let anything happen to us! I promise Baby!” Alex promised and tightened his arms around Noah.

Alex had already taken off his and Noah’s jacket and tie in the car, by the time they reached their room, he had opened his shirt. He pushed Noah to the wall and unbuttoned their pants as soon they were in the room. He supported himself against the wall, and raised Noah and brought him down on his hard dick, balancing his bubble butt with his hands, joined together and held underneath him. Noah threw his arms around his neck, putting his thighs alongside Alex’s waist and moved himself by his feet, which were touching the wall against which Alex was leaning.
