Chapter 5: Lockie X Neesham



Not Perfect

It was you to make the way to receive

Called me Privileged, I'd been for Variant!

Miseres in every inches that I perceive

Creats the deficit, what would be Permanent.

'34 minutes already passed.'

Jimmy Neesham texts Lockie Ferguson. Fuck man! Feeling awkward to have himself alone in the couple zone. He isn't active on WhatsApp either. Been so possessive every the time when he about to head rightly forward. Knows the direction, deviation towards simplicity simplifies what needed things holding him upward to limit. He have had enough!

Ordered one plater after leaving Couple Zone, pretended he didn't know that place well and took a wrong seat besides. Felt some smirkes behind him, didn't care. He cancelled the order also and left the restaurant after 2 hours waiting straight.....

No text, No feedback

Months earlier,

Heard some knocks on door, comes downstairs and quickly opens it. AN ORDER! He gave his sign and took the gift. Sits on his couch and reads the piece of paper, 'For you Neesh!' Smiles knows who sent it. Before opening the present he smells it cause Lockie always spread his favourite perfume upward on every gifts he sends. Feels the glory inside and wished- never go. He found a bunch of garden flowers and one ice cream box! He got pleased to see the box inside, quickly pick it on his fridge and gives a little thank you cause Lockie hates formalities from him.

He has date tomorrow, as well as sixth date he is having with Lockie. Always wished something for happened. What thing? Guess... continuesly having some detachable moments throws him in a corner. From his every friends, his parents. He is living an unknown life, what he never imagined. After receiving punishment from ANZ Board, he is going through troubles. Not only himself, but also his entire friend group. Having Lockie beside, he learns to lead life along with him. He loves him dearly, more than words. He's been a mad lover since he had him. They got themselves, but....

"I reckon you always wanted something."

Lockie says leaning a bit forward. Jimmy looks on his eyes straight and scoffs.

"What is it?"

Lockie again asks, lets Jimmy to elicit, to evolve.

"I love the desert, like that honey and caramel combination on the pastry with double vanilla flavour, great!"

Jimmy changes the topic instant, what Lockie quitely notices.

"From when you started loving sweets, Neesh?"

Jimmy got his silence back as he couldn't answer. Lockie again leans forward, puts his hand on the table, crossed his fingers.

"I told you something."

"I never."

"If it's a 'never' why you tried to change then?"

Jimmy finished eating his desert and trying to waste the time. Again looks at Lockie, who's already stopped everything on him; staring rudely.

"Listen Lockie. Ahm! Yes I wanted to tell you and which isn't much Important. I was wondering what would my dad think if he finds me passing days with you. He'll kill me for sure. And I-I wanted you to inform him about- about us."

Jimmy gets a bit trouble while saying. Lockie didn't catch him though. He nods then and agrees.

______________________________

I told you to never spend a living relationship with Ferguson. You didn't listen, Jimmy. You know what, not even anyone can be better for him. And look at you, huh! just let it go. I've heard that you love him too. No, Jimmy. It can't be done the way you want. Just wait and see what happens, just see.

Jimmy Neesham somehow realising the words from Colin Munro on the beginning of their relationship. Today his dad went mad at him after hearing his relationship with Lockie. His dad always wanted a better person for Lockie since he got a nice relation with Jimmy's father. He loves Lockie more than Jimmy. That's not his problem, his problem's always been something else. Lockie was there listening single words from his dad, the shouting, the rudeness came from his dad through Lockie. Does he deserve it? Can a relationship be done by one side? Why Lockie was standing straight there? Couldn't he tell a word to his dad? Jimmy cried just, cried heartily. Not coming last night, creating scenes in that morning, not replying or replying late, didn't respond any of his words, any of his needs, didn't care either. He knows he deserves it also. He has lakings, he has shortage. Why even his dad wanted some other? He, the answer. "Cal, you're right. Look at me, huh!" Jimmy says after wiped his tears from his eyes, laying on his bed, hasn't sleep yet, wets the pillow, still hiding his face under sheets.

______________________________

'Will he marry me?' Jimmy's one and only desire has been desire from the starting of their relationship. Passed days, months, year to tell, couldn't. How even? It's not him to kneel down and holding Lockies hand and give a proposal, it's LOCKIE! He has some grudges leading him away from his needs. He never shows its importancy.

Gets ready for tonight, Lockie is giving him a little treat on The Grove Restaurant in Auckland. Told him a day ago. Wears sharp plain T-shirt and set his hair backward, hangs a locket around his neck written 50, italic. He gives a kiss before wearing it, no not for his Jersey Number, it's a Roman Numerals- 'L stands for 50.' Miracle! He gets in car, breaths as he's heading into something he heartily wants. No not kneel down, he plans to give some prognosis to Lockie and if he can't catch he would say directly, sitting in front of him, face to face. He is having the courage inch by inch since he needed it more than imagined. After arriving to Grove, he decided to take seat on couple zone, he never takes himself here. "Oh its beautiful!" He commented after seeing its decoration. Takes a seat and practicing few times how to say it to Lockie-

Will you marry me?

- Ewww he'll kill me

Ahm! Lockie Let's get married

- Yuck [Takes a breath] Straight forward Jimmy. Straight uff

Lockie, my father says its been late to live alone

- No no

It's been a suitable time to get married and if you have any choice you can tell me.

- Yeah yeah it would be better [got excited]

So can I tell your name

- He'll say 'YES' or 'WHY NOT' or 'WHAT'RE YOU WAITING FOR'. Hah! God save me this time.

"Guys I'm gonna tell Lockie about our wedding. Congratulation me later." He texts it in one of his friends group, instantly got few 'love react.'

They wanted Jimmy to be happy, to be what he dreamt off, to be what anyone deserves. Not a lie, Jimmy has already been. But never been that Perfect.

Did Lockie know what Jimmy was going to tell him? Or he's gonna do something. But not responding differs another non-positive thing also.

Waited, waiting...

Didn't come. Got himself outside of the restaurant, comes to home, notices his dad is standing forward, didn't watch his face. Directly goes to upstairs. Heard that his mom says, "What'd he said?" Couldn't answer. How even he could answer it? Locked his door behind him and throws himself on the bed, his eyes knows the length of an ocean.
