Justin called me. If I could... I would kick his ass.

I want to know when he turned so damn bossy.

He told me that instead of calling and whining about Hunter to Kevin and Scott, who have their own damn problems, and calling Sean, who has enough to do without wiping my damn ass, I need to be taking my cute butt over to Hunters and kiss and make up. He also said that frankly the two of us were driving the rest of them nuts. I was the founding Kliq member in my relationship with Hunter and I needed to act like it.

Act like it... humph. Let's see that lil-shit order Hunter around.

It isn't what you would call easy. He has a damn stubborn streak a mile wide.

The lil shit laughed at me. He said that my ego was bigger than Hunter's stubborn streak AND Kevin's put together.

I told him I wasn't so arrogant these days.

He laughed at me again. He said that it was there, but I was just too busy feeling sorry for myself to let it come out to play.

Fuckin' little shit.

I swear I'm kickin' his ass.

I'm not feeling sorry for myself.

I'm not.

Justin said he had a suggestion for me.

He told me to stand up...

Drop my pants...

And Grab my balls.

Now that I know where they are maybe I should use them instead of acting like some damn whiney mamma's boy.

I hung up on him.

After I make up with Hunter I am gonna make HIM kick Justin's ass.

Hunter must have seen the car in the drive 'cause he just came out of the house. He is standing on the front porch looking at me.

I think he's crying.

I think I made a mistake.

In pushing him to becoming a leader I mean. It's too hard on him. He doesn't do it well. My baby has a soft heart under all that muscle and armor. He's sensitive... he takes things to heart. He likes to be cuddled and cared for. I was suppose to be the strong one not him.

Justin is right. I am the leader here and I need to act like it instead of pushing it off onto someone that can't take it.

As I get out of the car I can see him watching me... I can tell that he's afraid to hope that it is really me. He did some pretty shitty things to me. But, some of them are my fault... the Kliq's fault.

I shouldn't have pushed him.

We shouldn't have left him holding the bag.

We had no business making him pay for something we all did.

Kevin and Scott shouldn't have left. Things have been bad ever since.

I'm standing on the porch in front of him now.

You should see him. He's bawling like a baby. Tears running down his face... his chest heaving with sobs. People walking by are starting to stop and stare, but I don't care. I guess large grown men aren't supposed to be affectionate. Fuck 'em. Rising on my tiptoes I kiss his lips gently trying to comfort him. Let's see how those narrow-minded fleabags liked that!

I better take him inside... my baby won't like all this attention we are getting. He doesn't like making waves... but before I do...

Reaching up I pulled his head down to kiss him better. This time it is no peck. I can feel him shudder... it's been a long time since we've done this.

He pulls back and looking around I can see he has remembered where we are for the first time. A small blush creeps across his cheeks... I told you he doesn't like getting this kind of attention... damn narrow-minded people.

Taking his hands in mine I kiss his palms then opening the front door lead him into the house to sit on the living room couch. As much as I would like to take him directly back to the bedroom I don't think that would be the best idea. We have things to work out and sex isn't one of them.

I am going to lay down the law. There is only one leader in this relationship and that is me. The equality thing wasn't made for us. There has to be a definite leader and I am going to be that man.

I feel strong again. I forgot how badly I needed to have someone depend on me. Now I know why Kevin has been so grumpy.

I have laid us back on the couch so we can be comfortable. He immediately unbuttoned my shirt so he could rub his cheek against my chest hair like a kitten. I think he looks relieved that he doesn't have to run everything any more. I know how stressful it is at the top. If you don't get a break it will destroy you.

Well, I'm NOT going to let that happen to my baby. The two of us have paid too high a price to get him up there only to have him fall off early.

One of us retired before our time is enough.

He said that he loved me.

He said that he was sorry.

It's nice to be in control again.
