My gay best friend Steven is so adorable. He is a mini-Zac Effron with a smile and a dance in his step that always puts a smile on my face no matter how angry I am about anything. Even if it's at him, he stares at me with his teary hazel green eyes and I forgive him after 5 minutes of anger. He has the mind-set and eagerness of a child at times but it makes me always look at the more positive side of things.
He often vents his frustrations via Facebook statuses about his boyfriend frequently. It's his first honest-to-goodness relationship in which he's been committed and hasn't cheated and it's been over a year. We're all proud of him. Given how his mom has been cheating on his dad for the past couple of years with all sorts of men, we all began to think the whorish-ness might be genetic. He gave us hope. But his boyfriend's lack of coddling over him makes him mad. So he posts emo-like statuses in frequently.Tonight it was:
Steve is dancing for new years cuz his boyfriend won't dance with him at all tonight woooo love you anyway thanks!!!!
Steve has been so excited about planning a romantic getaway with his boyfriend whom always seems to make alternate plans later on and causes Steve constant disappointment. His boyfriend, Ron, is from Panama and was there last Christmas/New Year's so Steve ended up alone and drunk. He had explained to me a few weeks ago how he planned a romantic trip with Ron to go to Paris because his Ron had never been and had stated he wanted to go. Steve who speaks fluent french, bakes and cooks, and is an extreme romantic thought it would be a great Christmas present to take him there and planned out this elaborate get-away last month. Steve had already been to Paris before with a friend back in high school a few years ago. So I'm assuming by this new status his boyfriend broke some bad news to him.
I text him. "Are you ok? Saw the fb status. Jesus. Let me know if you need to talk. Love u"
He responded "Women always understand better than men, haha i miss you"
I can tell he's drunk when he's over-emotional like this.
So I joked to ease the tension "haha and gay men always understand better than straight men. we should get married like your dad hoped for ;)"
His dad had made a comment a year ago about how Steve should marry me and how I must have a crush on him just because I was helping Steve get a license so he can get on with his life since he was going away to school and reliant on Ron to drive him everywhere. We had a good laugh for awhile about his dad's comment.
He replied "no we should cuz then for once i'd be happy"
I didn't respond and am going to bed. Good lord. He'll be fine and gay again by tomorrow.
