Lance walked into the bedroom and stripped down to his boxers quickly. He picked up a t-shirt and pulled it over his head. He could hear Josh moving around somewhere downstairs and sighed. He looked over at the bedside table at a picture of him and Josh taken not to long ago. They looked so happy then. He walked over to his briefcase and reached in for his glasses and a file. He made his way back over to the bed and spread the file on his lap and began to read. Lance looked up from the contract he was reading about thirty minutes later. He listened as Josh made his way up the stairs. He looked back down at the paperwork before him as Josh walked into the room. Lance watched him out of the corner of his eye as he walked over to the dresser and pulled out a pair of sweatpants. He stripped down quickly and then took longer than was necessary to pull the on the sweatpants. Lance gave up the pretense of reading and watched as Josh climbed onto the bed. He laid down next to him, and looked at the file on Lance's lap. "What you reading?" "Just going over some contracts." Lance closed the file and reached up for his glasses. Taking them off, he rubbed his nose. He fought a yawn as he moved to lay down on the bed. "Tired?" Josh asked as he placed his hand on Lance's chest. Lance let his eyes drift closed and fell into a deep sleep.When he woke up sometime later, it was to find himself laying next to Josh with his head on his chest. He smiled briefly before he remembered what he had done just hours before. He knew if Josh ever found out about Justin it would be the end of their relationship.He raised his head and looked at the clock on the nightstand by Josh's side of the bed. It was just past three. He sighed as he moved to sit up, but Josh held onto to him tightly. He decided to give up for the time being and lay there. Trying to go back to a time when he would rather lay there wrapped in Josh's arms than get up to do anything. Those times had happened not so long ago. Lance let his eyes close once again. As he began to drift back to sleep, Josh whispered, "What happened to us, Lance?" Lance sighed as he opened his eyes. He lifted his head resting his chin on Josh's chest. "I don't know. We're both so busy with work and doing our own things lately. We never find time for just us anymore." Josh nodded. "You know I can't remember that last time we just slept like this. I'm already asleep by the time you drag yourself hom from the office." Josh ran his free hand through Lance's hair. "I don't want to lose us Lance. I love you too much." Those words pierced Lance's heart. Josh loved him, and he loved Josh. Then why did he do what he had done. Why had slept with some boy he picked up on the side of the road? "I love you, too, Josh. We can still make this right. I know we can." "You have to want to try, Lance," Josh whispered. "Sometimes I wonder if you even want to be an us anymore. You're never home. You don't do the things you used to. You even forgot wehat yesterday was." Lance looked confused before he remembered. "Shit. Our anniversary." "Right. Our anniversary. Instead of coming home ready for a romantic evening you blow a fuse and leave for the whole night." Lance sat up and ran his fingers through feeling guilter and guilter with each passing moment. He looked away from the blue eyes that knew him so well. "I'm sorry. I will make this work. I will do whatever I have to in order to make you see that I want this to work." Lance lay back down. "I want this to work, Josh." "Good. Then we will start as of now." Josh said with a slight smile. He raised his head off the bed and pressed his lips to Lance's in a quick.kiss. Lance smiled and closed his eyes. soon both men were once again fast asleep. continue menu
