but that still doesn’t mean—”
    “We can al ways tell them the truth. I’m sure your parents will understand,” he interrupts me, knowing where I was heading.
    “I just don’t want to disappoint them. I also don’t want to see you dead or my dad and Kevin in jail after they are done killing you.” We both laugh, mostly because of our nerves
    Mickey rea ches for me and hugs me tightly. After what seems like an eternity, he lifts my chin, bringing my eyes level with his. We embrace in a passionate kiss, the kind of kiss that only two people in love can share.
    “God! I’m going to miss this like crazy, ” he exhales while pulling me into another tight hug.
    “Me too . I propose we tell them before the year ends,” I tell him while leaning my head on his chest.
    “ Sounds good to me. It should give us time to warm them up to the idea of us. Are you also going to tell them about the whole dropping out of business school thing?”
    “One bomb at the time, babe,” I tell him. R eaching up to him, I give him a sweet, chaste kiss and, pull him closer to me. “But, I suppose I have to at some point,” I admit, my voice muffled by his chest.
    We stand in this position for a long while, finally pulling apart when it’s time to head to town. Mickey has decided to stay the night with me. One last night before we have to pretend like we haven’t seen each other in eight years.
    It’s been two years since he and my brother have seen each other. Since my mom married my dad and moved next door to Mama, Mickey and Kevin have been friends.
    The house we both live in now was Lola’s. After years of talking about it she finally moved in with Mama, leaving us the house. My parents still own the house next door, never selling it after we moved eight years ago. Luckily, the distance didn’t get in the way of their friendship. Kevin has always come to visit him whenever he felt like it.
    During the past two years, however, they haven’t seen each other. Mickey always had some excuse.  Either he wasn’t in town or he was just too busy with his classes. It feels weird being the reason why they haven’t spent time together, but at least not all of it was lies. Mickey really was crazy busy with his classes some of those times. He’s been studying mechanical engineering.
    For as long as I’ve known him , he has always been really interested in cars. Unfortunately, dad has never really taken him seriously and he has always considered Mickey a lost cause, mostly because Mickey is such a free spirit. This, is the sort of stuff that makes telling the family about our relationship so hard and complicated.
    “Ok…I’m ready to go,” I say as I look around our bedroom. Aside from the essentials, the room is completely empty. “We should finish getting your stuff into the main house, eat, and say goodbye to your mom and Mama,” I say, smiling at Mickey as if to make sure everything will go well.
    “Sounds good to me. I sure as hell am gonna miss this place. I know we are going to be back soon, but this is our home…” Mickey says looking a little overwhelmed and shrugging.
    “I know.” I lay a kiss on his cheek.
    We make our way to the main house through the gate that connects our backyards. I’m carrying my luggage while Mickey carries a few bags with his clothes as he prepares to move back to his ‘room’ in the main house. As far as my family is concerned, Lola couldn’t afford to pay the mortgage on her house, therefore Mama invited her and Mickey to move in with her.
    Lola’s house was supposedly sold to this young couple who use it as a vacation home, only living in it during the summer when they feel like escaping from the city. The only truth about that whole situation is the young couple. I have to admit that most of the time the whole hidden relationship situation is fun, but it becomes a little tiresome. I guess part of me is also scared that once the rest of the family knows about us it just won’t be
