A Dream Come True, Part 4/10
#4 of Jamie and Xavier
Xavier POV
The phone crackled slightly in Xavier's hand as the call was connected, a faint and slightly sad "hello?" Echoed from the mouth piece. "Uh hello, hi, this is Xavier. From the park the other day, thi-this is Jamie right?" Xavier's heart was beating a mile a minute as he listened to silence from the other end. Jamie said with the phone in his hand listening to the voice on the other line and trying to to freak out from the pure ecstatic joy and overwhelming shyness quickly filling his mind. "OMG HE CALLED IT'S HIM HOLY SHIT." "Yes," he quickly said, not wanting to have Xavier hang up. "Yes it is Jamie, ho-how are you?" At the utterance of those words Xavier again started to grin like a mad man and fist pumped while trying not to make any strange noises. "I'm good, really good." He said while starting to finally calm down a little. "You?" Jamie was currently feeling very good, more than good, just about magnificent, the only problem was his joy was being held in check by his shyness. "I-I u-uh I'm good, why are you calling...I-If I can ask." The second these words came out of Jamie's mouth he instantly knew he had said the wrong thing, and now seemed like he didn't want to talk. "Oh oh no no I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry please don't get mad." Jamie could feel tears again start to well up in his eyes as he listened to the silence coming from the other line. "Had to go and fuck it up didn't yah," his mind said, "and it looks like you even had a chance." As he listened he started to hear something he didn't expect...something that sounded like, laughter? Clear light laughter was coming from the other line of the phone. Xavier's voice came out clear and light from the other line, "no no, it's ok I understand you misspoke, happens to the best of us, it's simple I was calling to ask if you wanted to come to a club tonight with my friend Adam, his girlfriend, and I, interested?" Jamie couldn't believe what he was hearing, he had just messed up seemingly big time and Xavier still wanted to go out with him? This seemed too good to be true. "A-Are you sure? I-I understand if you're doing this out of pity, I don't have to go." On Xavier's side his smile dropped but he kept up his happy demeanor, "he truly thinks I blame him for his mistake, I just have to assure him." After this ran through his mind he spoke again as cheerfully and sincerely as he could. "Yes I am 100%, and I am not doing this out of pity, I really think you're cool and cute and you deserve to be taken out for a good time, does 8-12 sound good to you?" Jamie was shocked, more than shocked, he had just messed up...and yet he wasn't bring blamed. He felt heat quickly rise to his cheeks after hearing the compliment and after Xavier being so nice to him, "I think I'm falling in love e thought." "Yes, yes I would love to go with you, what club." Xavier again fist pumped the air and his smile came back. "Yes I won him over, knew I could." He thought, then said to Jamie. "It's called The New Fursona, do you know where it is?" Jamie answered that he did not and Xavier responded by saying, "that's ok I'll come pick you up then you won't have to worry about driving." Jamie was slightly hesitant at this, his shyness meter was saying not to buy his mind said," oh come on he's nice and he's offering a ride, you don't want to seem weird do you?" Jamie most assuredly did not so he agreed to let Xavier come pick him up, he told Xavier directions to his apartment, then they had some minor discussion of the weather today how nice it was and a short talk of other miscellaneous matters before they both said goodbye to start to get ready, and even though the conversation was not very long they both thought about how wonderful it was to hear the others voice, and how it was the most fulfilling conversation either of them had had in a long time. Jamie POV Jamie pushed the end call button then just sat, staring at the phone. He turned to a small table next to the couch and set the phone down. Feelings of pure joy ran through his body this time unhindered by thoughts of shyness or rejection. "He likes me!" He thought ecstatically, "not only that but he seems to like me for me, not just how I look!" Lying on the couch imagining how the night was going to go, he could tell it would be nothing but good. Xavier POV Xavier set his phone down and was immediately out of bed and running towards the loving room. "WWOOOHHHOOO HE SAID YES!" He happily yelled at Adam, which surprised him so much he fell out of the arms of Georgia who he was currently making out with and onto the ground. Xavier snickered back a laugh and muttered a quick apology. Georgia also had to try to cover a laugh, while Adam just shot Xavier a scowl and stood up. "We'll you see I would congratulate you," he muttered. "But with how much of a cockblock you seem to be I'm not so sure I want to." "Oh c'mon Adam," Georgia said. "Be happy for him, you have me and for the longest time he had no one." "Hey I resent that," Xavier quickly imputed. Georgia ignored him and continued, "it'll be fun, we've never gone on a double date before." Then she sensually added, "who knows we may have to have a contest of who can make the neighbors tell us to be quiet more." After saying this she leaned forward and licked Adam up the side of the muzzle. Adam blushed and licked her in return and started to climb back on the couch towards her before Xavier quickly put an end to it by saying, "woah, no, stop, I don't want to have to walk in on that shit again, it's about 4 we're meeting Jamie at 8. Adam you're gonna ride with Georgia and I'm going to go pick up Jamie at his apartment. Adam flashed him a lewd smile and with a wink said,"ooohhh that sounds like fun." "No it like that it doesn't." Xavier retorted, "I just offered because he didn't know where the club was and I wanted to seem like a gentleman." "Sure that's what it is...I'm good with it." Adam said with another wink. Xavier just sighed and turned to go take a shower and get ready. Xavier POV 3 hours and approx. 45 min later Xavier cruised slowly down the street in his beautiful red camaro he had changed into a pair of black basketball shorts and a tight dark red synthetic t-shirt as he looked for Jamie's apartment he slowly read off building numbers. "Let's see, 1203-1204-1205, aha 1206 E ocean street, found it." He muttered under his breath while pulling up to the curb behind a truck. He quickly put the key in park and turned it off, stepping out he made sure to grab his keys and lock the door. He walked onto the curb and up into the building, as he stepped into the lobby he saw a group of people standing in the corner looking out of a window and eyeing his camaro, he frowned slightly at this and continued walking. "It's a shame," one of them said, some form of bird. "Such a nice car like that, belonging to someone like you." Xavier scowled at the group, clenching his jaw muscles and flexing his biceps he slowly moved past them. He stood up straight as he could, clearly posturing trying to intimidate the group, the shit eating grin disappeared off the birds face as he quickly moved out of the building and down the street with his posse, "stupid kids, don't know who they're trying to fuck with." Xavier thought as he stepped up to an open elevator with a large but friendly looking grizzly bear in it. "Do not mind them," the bear spoke in a Russian accent. "They is all bark no bite like small dog ?????" Xavier just smiled kindly at the bear and just reached forward to push the button for his floor, until he noticed it was already pushed. "Aaahhh we is going to same floor, might you be out sweet Jamie's mystery date?" When the bear finished speaking he gave Xavier a big toothy grin. "Why yes I am," Xavier spoke. "I'm Xavier," after saying this he reached out a hand, until the bear enveloped him in a big...well bear hug. Lifting him up off the floor, surprisingly enough because the bear was shorter than him. "Is no time for handshakes comrade, is time for hugs." The bear said as he seemingly tried his best to squeeze the life out of Xavier, who in response groaned a few words that could've meant, someone please help. Luckily the elevator bell dinged and the bear set him down. "Aaahhh is time for me to go," the bear said. "You young lovers have fun." He said, then started to walk away, but stopped after a couple steps and turned contemplatively to Xavier. "Oh and comrade, you break Jamie's heart I EAT YOUR FUCKING THROAT!" The bears eyes quickly lot up with fiery rage then just as quickly went calm again. Xavier waited until the bear had gotten to his apartment, opened the door, and went in before shakily getting out of the elevator and walking down to the room after it. He quickly readjusted his clothes and brushed back his mane, spiking it, before reaching out a hand and knocking on the door
