Untouchable: Chapter 46: Rebounding: Oliver
Oliver wanted desperately to let Sean know he was ok,
loved, and would get better. Sean shook in his arms, his scared tear filled
eyes widening in shock as Oliver's tongue touched him. Then eyes shut tight
like he was fighting back the melancholy that hovered over him since he
arrived, Sean panted a gasping breath and kissed Oliver back.Oliver rolled Sean on top of him as they tasted the
sadness, desire, and hopes of each other's cheeks, lips, and panting breaths.Oliver felt his clothes being torn off him, in Sean's
unbridled desperation.Their trapped excitements begged for release as Oliver
was stripped more and more. He reached to unbutton Sean's shirt but Sean quickly
pinned his paws above his head, kissing him again.Oliver just went with it, Sean could do as he wanted. Oliver
only wanted Sean to feel free and loved, with heart racing he felt happier and
hotter than he had ever been.Their hips both pleasantly and painfully pressing
together in the growing urgency."I want you Oliver!""Please Sean, I want you too!"Sean froze atop Oliver when they spoke.Oliver unbuttoned the top button of Sean's shirt then
notice Sean was still frozen and staring with an unfixed expression over their
heads.Oliver felt Sean's hardness soften in his pants, "Sean
are you ok?""No we can't..." he said distantly."Sean its ok," Oliver said."No, no it's wrong... I should go, I shouldn't have
come," Sean said."What, but... are you sure?" Oliver said mind
only now catching up.Oliver felt Sean wrench away, then Sean rushed to the
door."Sean wait let's talk about it, I'm here to listen,
you don't have to go," Oliver said while he followed Sean."Yes I do I'm just making things worse for you, I
can't play with your heart or make you sin," Sean said."I don't think I can believe it is a sin if it's for
Love," Oliver said."You lost your family for all of this, it isn't
worth it," Sean said while he hovered by the door."But you said we are family now," Oliver said
cold from head to toe.Sean scrunched his eyes, "just another way I have
failed... I'm sorry." "But I'm calling my family what if they changed...
can you?" Oliver asked."I was changed already and it broke me, I need to
leave," Sean said then turned from him.Oliver reached to stop him but knew he wouldn't, no couldn't
force Sean, it wouldn't be right. He stared at the closed door for a time
clicking his claws together. Shivering with fear and uncertainty he went back to the
living room and redressed. He wished the world were different, easier, he felt Paul's
phone in his pocket bumping against his own."I can't stop him but should I follow him, or call
him?..." Oliver thought.He paced in self-doubt, "I need to do something... I
can call my parents if they could change so could he, that would prove
it."Oliver took out the phones glaring at them skeptically."Prime through everything I have never given up on
you, please guide me," Oliver prayed.He held the phones side by side to make sure the number
was correct. "Should I do it? What does it really prove?" Oliver
said quietly.He hit dial on Paul's phone, pocketing his own.The ringtone clattered harshly against his ears and
anxieties. Again and again, berb, berb, berb, click, "Hello, you've
reached Grandma and Grandpa Cunningham's house leave them a message!" His niece's
voice said.Beep..."Hi... It's Oliver, I'm calling because I was thinking
about all of you and wanted to say I still love you and I miss you. Hopefully
you still love me too... bye."He sat while he thought, "that was a stupid message,
hey it's been years so I thought about you, Prime why can't I have a family
that is a family?" He pocketed Paul's phone still holding his own.Then he texted Xander and then Paul while walking to his
lonely couch.To Xander, "Something's wrong with Sean, I mean really
wrong."To Paul, "I finished with your phone, when do you
want it back?"His pocket, Paul's phone buzzed and he realized the
extent to his distraction.He sat for only a moment then he went back to pacing his
apartment too nervous and unfocused to work."You shouldn't have kissed him, he wasn't ready! But
what else could I have done?... Nothing just be there for him on his terms. Ok,
I can do that but Xander can give me more ideas, maybe I should have gone after
him," Oliver thought.Xander texted, "we are just finishing up the baby
shower for Paul's coworker, Paul and I were the only dudes there, it was kinda
weird, so what's up with Sean?"Oliver wondered if he should tell Xander everything, and
if that might be a betrayal of Sean's trust, but Sean's safety came first. Xander
texted, "Sean's all freaked out about hitting his dad, he dreamed about
that camp, I kissed him and he was talking about how kissing was a sin and he
would only hurt me because he's all damaged, then he ran out of here.""Shit this is Disney land all over again, I'm going
to call him while we head over, we'll be there in like fifteen minutes," Xander
sent.Oliver forced himself to sit and do some analytics for
his newest project to keep his mind busy. He sat staring at his laptop not even
signed in, when Paul and Xander came in the front door."How was I supposed to know that asking about using
an egg incubator is offensive to Avians?" Xander asked Paul."It's like implying they don't love their egg and
abandon it during the day. Some experts blame the prevalence of Avian
distraction and hyperactivity disorder on a lack of pre-hatching
nurturing," Paul said."Those 'experts' sound like idiots to me," Xander
said, "hey Oliver!"Oliver stood and took Paul his phone, "hey guys,
thanks for the phone.""Did you get to talk to them?" Paul asked."No but I left a voice message for the first time,
my niece is on the recording I don't even get to hear mom and dad's voice
anymore," Oliver said.Xander looked as unhappy hearing about his family
situation as Sean had, "I'm not your family family, but like Sean and Paul
here you are welcome to call me when you need someone.""That's what Sean said basically," Oliver said
he felt relieved."Dogs are so loyal, it's such a turn on," Paul said,
then hugged Xander from behind. Paul hidden behind Xander huffed, "why
does everyone need to be so tall.""I'm not tall, I'm on the average side of short for
canids," Xander said, "So Sean didn't answer when I called
either.""Well I'm on the short side of whatever," Paul said
then asked, "So is he... ok?""I don't know," Xander said."No, I don't think so," Oliver said."Maybe we should go find him," Paul said."You might be right, but what if he only needs
space?" Oliver asked."Then we're just annoying friends, I'm going to ask
Neal too," Xander said grabbing his phone and texting Neal wandering down
the hall.Once Xander walked off Paul exploded, "Jill gets
here soon!" "I know it will be great, Xander and Sean will be
shocked," Oliver said. Xander paced back then stood in the kitchen while
he texted."I'm a little shocked," Paul said."You doubted it would happen?" Oliver asked."Yeah the stats weren't great," Paul said then
his pocket buzzed."Hello this is Paul.""Jill why are you crying? Is everything ok?... yeah
I miss you too, but I'll see you so soon, and then everything will be great...
cheer up, yeah, it will be great, why so mopey... missing me is a lame reason
when you're on your way here... fine, where do you want dinner... ok, yeah a
silly question, Purr it is... Love you... oh I have a call coming in.""Hello this is Paul, who may I ask is calling?"Oliver checked friend finder Sean was at City Hall, he wondered
how he was doing and if he should text."Excuse me a single call isn't harassment but verbal
aggressiveness is not appropriate... then block the numbers. Yeah, that's on
your end to take care of... well how dare you threaten, you don't know me but
your behavior isn't appropriate," Paul fused at his phone, Oliver chilled
as he waited. Xander's attention fell on Paul as well."Fine, you can, but know your lawyer would have to
speak with ours, and you'd have to meet in a court room... so stop threatening
and block these numbers if you even care too... I'll pass that along and Prime
Bless you! Though you've done nothing to deserve it on this call!" Paul
yelled into his phone then threw it onto the couch."So that must have been my sister or my dad..."
Oliver said."I'm sorry Oliver they threatened you and me, I
dealt with it all poorly," Paul said."How were they threatening exactly?" Xander asked."An anti-harassment order, Oliver it was your dad,
he said you upset your mom and shouldn't call anymore you are no longer family,"
Paul said.Oliver felt numb, and thought, "I was going to do
something, be there for someone? Wasn't I?..."Then he remembered Easter. Mom set the table."Oliver honey,
where should I put your mail, it's still coming to the house," Mom called
from the kitchen."Weird, I thought
I had it all going to my PO Box on campus," I said as I put on my coat."Honey where
are you going?" Mom asked poking her head around corner to the kitchen."Dad asked me
to pick up heavy cream and fish oils for dinner," I said then checked I
had my keys."Well hurry
back, Danielle and the kids are coming over for family dinner," Mom said."Will do
mom," I said and headed to the car. Cruise was on the radio I sighed
because it had been playing on ever country station but I sang along anyway. When I got to the
store Paul sexted me, "Which tail shot is better this one or this
one?""I'm at the
store, this is not how you're getting me to come out to my family, if I ever
come out to them," I replied."Fine, but I think
it would do you good if you told them," Paul texted."No it probably
wouldn't," I texted then grabbed the cream."So which do
you like?" Paul asked.I review the pics felt
a warm stirring in my pants, then wrote, "Your horrible!""Ah you liked
them both, sweet!" He texted."Yeah but you
live too far away," I texted walking down the baking isle."Well I'm thinking
of Moving to Seattle, when you're done with school you're moving there
right?" Paul asked."Yeah, I will
have more options for tech out there," I texted then headed to check out."Would you
want to date?" Paul asked."I don't know,
we need to meet first, I think, and all that," I texted."Good point,
so how's the Easter celebration with the family coming?" Paul asked."It's just a
family dinner we don't celebrate holidays," I texted."That is so
lame no Christmas!" Paul texted."No Holidays
or Litterdays, but on them I make it a point to talk to family, I'm a bad
witness," I texted."Yes but only
bad Witnesses like my tail so it balances out," Paul messaged."Well I'm
going to have family dinner I'll say hey after," I texted while I climbed
into my car.Cruise was on again
which made me wish I had a sound system that I could plug my phone into.When I got home the
porch was crowded with stuff. I realized it was my suitcase, and bedding. Mom
stepped outside crying with my still wet laundry dripping in a basket. When she
saw me parking she rushed inside. I got out of the car confused at everything. "Why is mom
making a mess," I thought, "Danielle and the kids will be here in
just a few minutes?"The door was
locked, the house was never locked. No one answered the door when I knocked. So
I looked for the hide-a-key. Dad came out when I
got it and said, "You are no longer welcome here, you need to leave.""What the
hell, this isn't funny dad!" I said."Neither is a
life unrepentant," Dad said."Come on its
Family dinner, and I don't know what you're talking about," I said cold
knives sliding down my spine."That is an
utter lie," Dad said, then thrust a FIV and AID alliance Manila envelope
into my chest, along with a large blank empty parcel addressed to mom and me. Everything crumpled
under the force of dad's anger the mess of paper fell to the ground then dad
sternly said, "Get out, I can't have you putting the grand kids at
risk.""Why did you
read my mail?" I asked nub and confused."Does it
matter, we shun you, begone!" Dad said, then went back inside, then
re-locked the door.I cried as I packed
my car, and watched the silhouette in the living room. Then I got behind the
wheel.
Mom
reset the table.
