C4 Chapter 4

Nate sat at the back and tried to get himself into the show they were putting on. He had to admit that the strippers we're talented. They knew what they were doing.

A stripper approached him and offered a lap dance to which Nate allowed. It took all his effort to not push her off of him. After the dance Nate looked down at his pants.

Nope, nothing. He was not attracted to any of the females here. If he was not attracted to the females then, what was wrong with him, he thought to himself.

He sighed as he stood up and made his way out of the strip club. He was supposed to meet up with Mia so they could go to Amy and Bryce's place together.

A part of Nate did not want to see her but the other part wanted to. The other part won. Nate got into his car and made his way into Mia's apartment. She was not around meaning she had still not come back from work but he had a key to her apartment. He made his way to her couch and sat down.

He wondered what had happened at the strip club. Maybe he needed to go to a gay strip club also to see if he would be attracted to any male there.

Nate laid on the couch scrolling through his phone when a thought suddenly crossed his mind. He should try to see if straight porn would make him hard. Maybe that way he would be able to understand if he was actually bisexual or not.

Nate made his way into Mia's room to get her headphones and then settled back on the couch as he went to porn hub on his phone. He decided to watch a teacher and student porn video. He may be gay but he still enjoyed stuffs like this, role-play.

Mia made her way into her apartment. Seeing as the lights were on, Nate was in her apartment or maybe one of her friends. But she highly doubted it. Teresa had an earlier shift and had left the hospital before Mia but Mia knew Teresa was too lazy to come to her apartment especially after how tired she was. If at all she had the strength to do anything now, it would be stalking the half Asian vet who had just moved into her street.

Mia also doubted it was Bryce or Amy except maybe they had a fight. But they were all meeting at Amy's place for dinner so there was no way it was Amy. And besides if it was Amy, she would have made sure to send a message to everyone saying the dinner was cancelled.

Mia moved stealthily into her apartment. She planned on surprising Nate. She had opened the door as loudly as she could but Nate had not shown up. Normally, he would have popped his head from the corner and said something to annoy her.

She wondered if he was sleeping. That would make her job easier. She would scare him awake. Mia moved with as much stealth as she could muster. She mad it into her sitting room and was surprised by the sight she saw.

Nate was lying on the couch looking as handsome as ever but the thing that surprised her was what he was watching in his phone.

"What the fuck are you doing?" She screeched as Nate quickly sat up and removed the headphone from him like it was infected.

"Don't scare me like that." Nate said with a hand on his chest.

"The fuck? What do you mean scare?. I am obviously the one Sacre out of my wits here. What the fuck were you watching on your fucking phone while lying on my fucking couch?" She said to him.

"That's a lot of fucks in one sentence." Nate said.

"I know. I've always wanted to try it " Mia said with a chuckle. " It was nice right?" She asked him.

"Nope. That was downright lame. How did you even come up with it?"

"I know it was nice. I'm creative like that."

"Do not say that out side I beg of you."

"You do not tell me what I should or should not say. Wait are you trying to avoid the topic at hand?"

"Is it working?" Nate asked hopefully.

"It's not"

"It was working. I blew it didn't I?"

"It was not working."

"I knew it was. You don't just want to admit it."

"It was not working. Wait, is this another attempt to change the subject?" Mia asked him.

"We are getting late. You know how Amy gets when we don't show up early to her dinners."

"Not working. You cannot avoid the topic. I know we are not late. We still have like an hour left."

"When last did you check the time?" Nate asked her with raised eyebrows.

"Before I.......oh shit." Mia said as she ran straight into her bathroom. She had less than thirty minutes to change and shower.

She had last checked the time before she mad her final rounds at the hospital. She was so sure she was going to make it in time. It was almost nine by the time she was done dressing.

She wore a belly Jean trouser with a black halter top and sandals. Leaving her hair in a messy pony tail.

She came out of her room with her purse in hand but first stepped forward to give Nate the stink eye and a warning.

"Don't think you've gotten out of this. I will get the reason out of you." She said as she made her way to the door.

Nate chuckled and followed behind her. He knew Mia was not going to let him rest until she got answers. He wonders what he was going to tell her.

Maybe he could just be honest and say

'hey Mia I was watching straight porn to see if at all I was bisexual because I have been dreaming of you every night. And in every dream, we are having sex.'

That would not be something a gay friend would say to his female friend who was straight and not interested in him. Nate groaned.

Nate and Mia made their way into Bryce and Amy's home. It was a new house which they had just bought and Mia wondered if it was getting beautiful everyday or maybe the love in the house was making it appear more beautiful.

There was an electronic gate at the entrance of the house. It was a two story building painted in white but there were well kept gardens surrounding it.

There was a pool at the back of the house and a balcony where they would all be eating were they could get a perfect view of the stars.

"You are late." Amy said to them as they stepped into the house.

"I am sorry. I got off work late." Mia said to Amy as they hugged each other while Nate and Bryce exchanged handshakes.

"At least you are earlier than Teresa." Amy said.

It was if Teresa knew they were talking about her because she made her way into the house saying loudly as she came in.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I was doing something." Teresa said as she also exchanged hugs with Amy.

"Yeah. Busy stalking the hot guy." Mia said with a chuckle as Teresa gave her the stink eye.

"What hot guy?" Amy asked. Her interest was piqued.

"Nothing" Teresa said the same time Mia said "half Asian vet."

"Teresa?" Amy asked with a raised eyebrows.

For a short lady, Amy could be a bit intimidating when she wanted to be. Her raised eyebrows meant one thing and Teresa knew the outcome if she did not just give in. A hormonal pregnant lady was not one she was ready or willing to face at the moment.

"It's nothing serious. I'm just trying to get his attention for now." Teresa said.

"Is he hot?" Amy asked as Bryce coughed loudly beside her.

"Oh come on. I can at least appreciate hot guys." She said with an eye roll.

"Oh he is hot." Teresa replied as they all moved to the balcony where the food and everything had been set.

They all took their seats and immediately started digging into the food.

"Check his butt. You would know hot guys from their butt." Nate said before putting a piece of meatballs into his mouth.

"You would know that. How is Jonathan?" Mia asked him pointedly.

"We are no longer seeing each other." Nate announced.

"Oh thank goodness."

"Bless the Lord" Teresa said.

"At last." Said Amy.

Even Bryce who was known to be usually quiet muttered a word of relief.

"I never knew you guys disliked my seeing him."

"Oh we did not dislike him. It was more like he was not a perfect fit for you. He looks all womanly and you look manly. You exude manliness if you know what I mean." Teresa said to him as she took a sip of her wine.

Nate only looked at her confusingly " I do not know what you mean."

"What Teresa is trying to say is that you guys were not a perfect fit for each other." Amy told him.

"It was just sex. What's there to be perfect about?" Nate asked them.

"He was trash. A clingy cry baby trash who did not deserve being a one night stand. Frankly, to me he just looked too good to be true. I have never met anyone one in this world that is as good as him and also trash at the same time." Bryce said bluntly.

"Okay now I understand. But, he had a nice butt right?" Nate asked them.

"I cannot deny that one. His ass was one of the finest I have ever seen. I was jealous of his skin too. How can it be silly smooth?" Teresa asked.

"Beats me." Nate said with a shrug.

That was how the dinner went. Everybody brought topics to discuss. Mia became drunk later on and Nate had to take her home. She was lucky she did not have the morning shift the next day.

He was about taking off her shoes after placing her on the bed when Nate heard her ask

"Is it a woman?"

"What?" He asked her confused.

"The reason you were watching straight porn. Is it a woman?" She asked him again.

Nate looked into her eyes as they stared straight at him. He did not know why he felt like she should know but he answered her honestly.

"Yes."

"I can help you." She said to him and Nate wondered how she was going to help him when she was the source of the issue.

Even right now, just starting into her eyes was enough to arouse him. He had never felt an attraction to anybody like had for Mia.

"How will you help me Mia?" He asked her quietly. His voice had a rough edge attached to it now.

"If you want to learn how to sleep with a female. I could help you. You do not have to watch porn to get it."

Nate could see that she had misunderstood the reason why he was watching straight porn. He was watching it to see if at all he would be aroused but even after watching various ones he was still not aroused. He was not turned on. But just starting into Mia's eyes was making a tent build up in his trousers.

"It's best you go to sleep Mia." He said with a kiss to her head.

"You know you can tell me anything right?" Mia asked him.

"I know that."

"Will you tell me who she is?" Mia asked him.

"I cannot do that." He replied with his head buried down. He was trying to avoid looking into her eyes.

"Goodnight Mia." He said to her as he walked out of her room.

Mia watched him go and sighed. Tommorow, she was going to regret what she said to him but at least she said it now.

It was not known to any of the four circle of friends that that day Jonathan had died.
