Chapter Eleven

THE SPITFIRES were the unlucky team that had to play a game on the day after Thanksgiving, so the team’s abbreviated celebration was a party at the coach’s house after they won. Laurent’s father, being Canadian, had not celebrated the American holiday, so Laurent didn’t think much about missing it. But apparently the year prior, they’d had a large get-together that included Coach Ashford’s parents. Laurent, a little intimidated by the idea of a huge meal and a lot of people, was just fine with the pizza and beer provided by the coaches.

The better holiday was Christmas, because for the first time in his life, Laurent didn’t have to accompany his father to Montreal and spend it with family neither of them liked. It made his father’s mood dangerous, and Laurent still had scars on his back from two years before, when the shirt he’d been instructed to buy for his cousin was too small and made Denis look stupid.

So he spent the holiday with Isaac. They could have stayed at Isaac’s house, since Coach Samarin went with Coach Ashford to visit Coach Ashford’s family. But instead they spent it in Laurent’s apartment. They watched movies, fooled around, and Laurent spent a lot of time drawing and even showed Isaac some of his original comics. They were planning on having takeout Chinese for Christmas dinner, but Mrs. Bowen found out they were there and insisted on making them dinner. It ended up being more entertaining than either Laurent or Isaac thought it would be, as Mrs. Bowen showed pictures of her and Harold and regaled them with stories of a vaguely scandalous nature. Laurent and Isaac did the dishes, and she sent them home with food after they all watched the world’s oldest version of A Christmas Carol.

For New Year’s they went to a party at Jack Belsey’s. It was a palatial and tacky house, but there was free booze and an indoor pool, which Laurent wouldn’t go near. And despite others being pushed in, his teammates didn’t have quite the nerve to try that with him yet. Thank God. It was a strange party, but Isaac kissed him at midnight, and no one seemed to care at all. So Laurent sent up a fervent hope that the New Year would bring more of the same and that he could finally sever ties with his old life.

Speaking of… they were getting ready to play the Ravens in two days.

Laurent was already regretting the promise he’d made to Isaac, which was to go out and celebrate with the team if they won.

That wasn’t fair, because Isaac had been blowing him when he made Laurent promise. First he bit the inside of Laurent’s thighs and nearly made him come without putting his mouth any closer to Laurent’s dick. And then, when he was deep-throating him, he stopped, pulled off, and said something like, “Promise you’ll come out after the Ravens game if we win.”

Laurent had said something that was a cross
