part five of close your eyes.

As they walked down the busy New York street. their arms wrapped around each other's waist. So into each other that neither one noticed the cold. Luke and Noah were on their way to a local eatery called Grimaldi's. They were meeting a small group of Luke's friends. Luke wantedd to introduce Maddie and his friends to Noah. When they got to the resturant, they stopped at the door , they stood with their arms around each other. Luke tenderly kissed Noah on the nose. "Well are you ready? You know we don't have to go in. I could always call Maddie on her cell and tell her we can't make it." He put his hand on Noah's groin"I can tell her that "Something"CAME UP! And we could go home and go back to bed,"

Noah grinned and kissed his boyfriend and gently took hold of the hand. :"As temping as that is Luciano. The answe is would be no. I want to meet your friends. I met maddie last night when you brought me home."He held Luke close "Now i want to meet the rest of my boyfriend's pals'

Luke rolled his eyes as he took hold of Noah's hand "I warned you."he opened the door Öh by the way I forgot to tell you. Its kariokie night. Since you are the newcomer to the group you have to go first."

Noah stopped walking "No way Snyder I am not gonna si..."Luke kiissed him and smiled teasingly. "Noah i was kidding. You don't have to go up at all. you can just sit and listen." Luke lead Noah to where his friends sat.

Maddie spotted them and rose to greet them. "Hey guys,"She hugged Luke and smiled at Noah "Where were you guys? Jude and I stopped by your apartment to see if you wanted to walk with us here. But there was no answer." Noah blushed as Luke spoke "Sorry Maddie we were home but we didn't hear the door. "Maddie looked at Luke puzzled "Realy? I thought you could hear the bell from any where in your place. You can in mi.." she stopped and noticed Noah blushing again and Luke grinning sheepishly "Oh ? Oh! I see! " she took hold of their arms "And on that note, Come on Luke, lets introduce Noah to rest of the gang." She lead the way to the table which Noah noticed was close to the impromtued stage. Luke took hold of Noah's hand as he introduce him "Every one this is Noah " He put his arm around Noah as he continued "You know maddie. The Blond beside her is Casey Hughes and his boyfriend Matt."Casey rose and went to stand beside Noah. "Hi ya handsome. So your the sailor huh? My my my snyder he is a cutie,"Casey snuggled up to Noah " is it true what they say about sailors having " Long shoremen? casey glanced down at Noah's groin.

Noah bluxhed even deeper as he looked helpless at Luke. Luke rolled his eyes and stepped between his boyfriend and Casey. "Down boy. Noah and his Long shoreman are taken."

Matt took hold of his boyfriend and pulled him down beside him "And so BITCH are you." Casey snuggled in to Matt "Öh darling I love it when you get all jealous . it is a turn on." Casey kissed him as Luke continued the introductions "that handsome guy sitting with maddie is jude st Claire."

Noah sat down with Luke and looked at him longinly. Luke noticed the look and leaned in close and whispered "Told ya we should have gone home."

Noah smiled and took hold of Luke's hand as they listened to people attempt to sing. As Maddie got up and sang a beautiful rendition of "Hey Jude." Noah didn't notce that Luke wasn't beside him . He leaned over to Casey "Where did Luke go?" Casey pointed up to the stage and Noah saw Luke pick up a microphone and when maddie was done and went off stage Luke walked on stage. "" I would like to tell you about a very speciall guy. Noah this is for you"

The music started and he began to sing.

HE WAS JUST NINETEEN YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. AND THE WAY HE LOOKED WAS WAY BEYOND COMPARE.

Luke made his way to where Noah sat and began to run his fingers through Noah's black hair.

SO HOW CAN I BE WITH ANOTHER. WHEN I SAW HIM STANDING THERE..

Luke then sat on Noah's lap . The crowd cheered and Luke continued

WELL MY HEART WENT BOOM AS I HELD HIS HAND IN MINE. WELL HE LOOKED AT ME AND ANY ONE COULD SEE THAT BEFORE TOO LONG i FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM. HE SAID HE WOULDN'T BE WITH AN OTHER WHEN WE SAW EACH OTHER STANDING THERE.

Luke then put his mic down and openly kissed Noah on the lips. As the crowd cheered Luke whispered "Wanna go home Sailor? "Noah nodded and They said good night to their friends and headed for the door.
