“I’m flexible. Apparently.” Thomas responded excitedly. “I don’t know.

I tried your coffee and now - I don’t know. Everything feels like it’s on

fire.”

“There’s ointments for that.” Jacob quipped.

“No Jacob. I need you. I want you. I have to have you.” Thomas grabbed

Jacob by the arms- hard. The grip was so sudden that Jacob was caught off

guard and he was pushed into the wall behind him barely missing the

mirrors and sink. With a brutish force Thomas roughly kissed him by

sticking his tongue down Jacob’s throat. If this was how he kissed, maybe

there was a reason all those women broke up with him. Jacob struggled for

a moment but managed to push Thomas off. He wiped his mouth as he

coughed.

“Stop! What?!” Jacob felt sick. “What do you think you’re doing?!” “I can’t- I need you Jacob. I’d do anything for you.” Thomas’ eyes had

grown wild and desperate. Jacob didn’t like this. He backed towards the

door.

“Well- don’t! I- I need air.” Jacob spat. With a quick turn he tried to

leave when Thomas reached out and grabbed his hand a bit too tightly. “You don’t want to leave me Jacob. You want to be with me. You want

to stay with me.” His eyes were wild.

“Let me go Thomas!” Jacob ordered.

“But Jacob- please.”

“Let me go or I’ll never see you again!” Jacob snapped. Thomas

tightened his grip for a moment before letting him go. The look in his eyes

was feral.

“Of course.” There was something tense in Thomas’ face as he snapped

back to reality. Rubbing his bruised wrist, Jacob quickly made his way out

of the bathroom to find Joe.

He quickly found Joe at the bar finishing up a phone call. He couldn’t

tell exactly what was being said, but he did catch “…it’s quick, but it’s the

only way. We just have to hope he says yes..” Jacob wasn’t sure what he’d been talking about, but as soon as he saw him, he threw his arms around

Joe.
