Week Top 16
~*~
*
Sadly, Nick, AJ, Alaina and Leslie were the next to go. It figured, the two girls that Chris and I enjoyed hanging around had gotten the boot. I was now secretly thankful to Leslie for daring me to kiss Chris. I knew now that I definitely had feelings for Chris. The night of the kiss, I had stayed up half the night thinking about it. I definitely wanted to kiss Chris again. The only thing was, I didn’t know if he felt the same way about me. I was pretty confused, having feelings for a man. I had always loved girls, and I had always dated girls. But now that Chris had come along, well that…that changed everything. I knew I had to talk to Chris about it, but I just didn’t know how to. I vowed to myself that the first opportunity I got, I would tell him how I felt. Ha! Easier said than done.

It was hard looking at Blake in the morning. Don’t get me wrong. We still sat together at breakfast and joked around as usual. And I did catch him smiling at me a couple of times, and I smiled back at him. It just felt weird. I wondered if Blake had thought about the kiss over the night, and decided that he hadn’t liked it as much as he thought. I on the other hand, had thought about the kiss for half the night, and now wanted more than ever to kiss him again. I kept my mouth shut though, and went on with the day as usual.
Elimination round sent Nick, AJ, Alaina, and Leslie home. I was so sad to see them all go, but Leslie had had an idea that she was going home since the judges didn’t like her song the previous night. Blake and I had had dinner with everyone before elimination, and Blake, Chris Sligh, Leslie, and Alaina had hung out in my and Sundance’s room with Sundance, and me the night before elimination night. So at least we had been able to have those last times to hang together.
Anyway, during the week, I was sure that Blake wanted to say something to me, but once again, we were all kept too busy to really talk much. After all, this was the all or nothing round. We had to make it through this round if we wanted to make it to the top twelve. The top twelve meant being on the CD, being gin the Ford videos, and possibly being able to go on the tour. I was so nervous, for the stakes were high. Not only did I want to be in the top twelve to record the CD, make the Ford videos, and possibly be in the tour, but also, I wanted to stay with Blake. I had no doubt that Blake would sail through to the next round, for he was just too darned good not to. Now if only I could too, then we would be all set. And maybe then, Blake would tell me what seemed to be on his mind.
B*********C
I didn’t get a chance to talk to Chris about my feelings for him. I guess here and there I might have had a chance to talk to him, but I was nervous. Every time I’d get him alone, I’d go to open my mouth, and then I’d chicken out. I knew I had to talk to him. I couldn’t just keep walking around and hanging out with him as if I didn’t have these romantic feelings for him. I just needed for the time to be right—that’s all.
I got that chance on our free night, which was (as usual) the night before performance night. We were hanging out in his room. Our roommates were both hanging out in the hotel’s game room with the other guys, and the girls were having a girl’s night in in Melinda and LaKisha’s room. Chris and I had played in the game room for a little while just to be sociable, and then Chris said that he wanted to go back to his room to relax. I took that as my chance, and asked him if I could join him. He said yes, and we went up together.
Once we were alone together in his room, he handed me a root beer from the mini fridge in the room.
I smiled air toasted to him. “Thanks!”
Chris grinned, and took out his own root beet. “You’re welcome.”
We opened our bottles, and then toasted for real.
I sat down on the love seat, and Chris sat down next to me.
“So, what’s up? I have been sensing that you’ve been wanting to say something to me all week,” Chris began.
I blushed. “What makes you think that?”
Chris grinned. “You’ve been opening your mouth to talk to me, and then closing it all week long.” He winked.
I blushed even more, and laughed nervously. “Maybe I just forgot what I was going to say.”
Chris raised an eyebrow. “All week? I don’t think so.” He moved closer to me. “Come on, Blake. What is it? You know you can tell me anything.”
I took another sip of my root beer, and then sighed. I guessed it would be better to tell him now than to keep it inside for another whole week. This was it. I took a deep breath and let it out before preparing to tell Chris exactly what was on my mind.

“Well the thing is, ever since that kiss, I’ve been thinking,” Blake began.
I nodded. “I’ve been thinking about it too.
We smiled at each other.
“Well, I was thinking that I liked—” Blake was cut off as Sundance came into the room.
“Hey guys! You guys got to see this. Sanjaya is a freakin’ wiz at Pac-Man. He is on the highest level! We think he’s gonna break the record that there is on that particular game.”
I inwardly cursed. Blake had been so close to telling me how he felt about the kiss! His feelings about it totally depended on mine. If he liked it as much as I had, then I might actually confess my feelings to him. If he didn’t, then I’d know to forever keep my mouth shut. Stupid Sundance! I knew he hadn’t known he was walking in on something. He had every right to just walk in, seeing as it was his room too, but still it annoyed me.
Blake turned to Sundance, almost looking relieved. “Really? Cool. I love Pac-Man. I used to play it on Atari all the time.” He turned to me. “Wanna go watch?”
“Don’t you want to tell me what you were going to tell me first?” I asked.
Blake smiled. “Na. I can tell you another time.”
I sighed. “All right then. Let’s go watch Sanjaya play Pac-Man.”
And so we did. I made a mental note to tell Sundance to knock first the next time he wanted to come into our room when I was in there with someone.

Saved by the Sundance. I knew it was a copout, but I was nervous! I thought that maybe I should wait and see if Chris and I both made it to the top twelve. After all, I would hate to admit my feelings for him, and then he’d get upset, and then I’d be voted off, and he’d never speak to me again. I guess that is what I was so worried about. But I really did love playing Pac-Man on Atari, and I really was interested in seeing Sanjaya break the record. I felt bad. I knew Chris was a little miffed that I hadn’t finished telling him what I was going to tell him. I’d tell him soon though. I would.
I got that opportunity to do so after our performances. Chris and I both had gotten good reviews, so I was really hoping that we would both sail through. I had gone back to my room afterwards to try to avoid Chris. I didn’t want to tell him quite yet what was on my mind. However, Chris knew me all too well, and was waiting for me in front of my door.
“Care to go for a walk?” he asked me. “We need to talk. I think we both know it.”
I hesitated for only a moment. He was right. Chris was attempting to talk, so I was going to give him what he wanted. At least, I hoped I was. So, with a nod, I accepted. “Sure. “Let’s go.”
Chris nodded, and gave me a smile. “Okay. Want a root beer for the road?”
I grinned. “Sure.”
Chris grinned too, and got us both a root beer from his fridge. Then soon, we were on our way for what I hoped was going to be a nice walk.
B*********C
After it seemed that Blake was trying to avoid me, I knew that I had to take matters into my own hands. I was going to be the one to tell him how I felt, and then if he wanted to tell me how he felt, he could. I figured that Blake was too good of a guy to just shut me out completely if he didn’t feel the same way about me that I felt about him. So, I headed to Blake’s room. I figured that he would go there to try and escape me. Sure enough, I found him there. I asked him to talk, and surprisingly enough, he agreed to it. If he hadn’t, I would have told him how I felt anyway.
I got us a couple of root beers, and then we were on our way.
We headed outside. “We can just go for a walk down the street for a ways,” I said. The street was a straight road with restaurants, stores, gas stations, and other hotels along the way.
Blake nodded.
As we continued to talk, I decided to start first, since Blake didn’t seem in any hurry to say anything.
“Here’s the deal. Ever since we kissed that night, I can’t get it out of my mind. I know it was just a dare, but…I actually liked it. I liked it a lot more than I should have probably. It’s weird. I never thought of myself as gay, but… I have feelings for you Blake, and they aren’t just friendship feelings. They are romantic feelings. I know you might not feel the same way about me, but I had to be honest with you about how I felt. I hope you won’t hate me now. If you don’t feel the same way, then I hope we can still go on being best friends without any weirdness. Though, I know that might be too much to ask. I just had to tell you how I really feel. I couldn’t hold it in any longer.” There. I had said it. I looked into Blake’s eyes, which I couldn’t do when I was speaking to him. I then waited for his response, hoping that he wasn’t going to shun me forever.
“Well then I guess there’s only one thing left to do,” Blake said, his voice even.
“What’s that?” I asked, dreading his response.
“This.”
And with that, Blake pulled me in for a kiss that was definitely more intimate than our dare kiss was.
