--------------------------------------------
Next to John's house, will have some new neighbors soon. They're a family from USA. The man and his wife were planning to open a dance studio in UK, after the success of their ones in USA. They thought that Europe would be a great new horizon to explore. With the couple came one of their offspring, the young Joseph. He was just 21 years old and he helped to their parents in the studio, also he was trying to have an acting career. He had straight red hair, green eyes and a wide smile in his face. He wasn't so tall, but he was thin. He could be the funniest one but also the most serious man when it's necessary.
------------
Was a strangely sunny Saturday in the south of London when the move truck came near to his house. Just for mere curiosity, was to see through his porch. Meanwhile he was smoking a cigarette, with the another hand in his pocket and watching all, came mister Joseph to greet him.
"Oh hello sir. I'm Joseph and we came with our family to live for a while in London" he greeted him, extending his left hand through the railings.
"I'm John. Nice to meet you sir" replied him shaking hands.
After a couple of minutes where the men were talking, the young Joseph came there and he exclaimed so happy "HI MISTER IM JOE!"
His happiness was contagious for John, he smiled, even laughed a little. Joseph was upset.
"Hi Joe, I'm John", he responded with a wide smile.
After that, recognized who were him. That eye crackling was special. That soothing voice too.
"DAD YOU KNOW WHO IS HE?!?! HE'S A ROCK STAR!"
John laughed, half being nice and half uncomfortable.
His father saw to his son pretty upset.
"Joseph, I know who is him! Now, go and help to the movers. Surely will have opportunity to you to chat with him… of course if he wants" ended watching to the bassist.
"Of course, one day you and your family can come for tea time!" he said kindly.
Ronnie was watching the scene and decided to approach to it.
She exclaimed "oh, you're the new neighbors. I'm Veronica, but you can call me Ronnie".
Joseph shaked hand with the mistress just smiling politely. When was Joe's turn, he said "nice to meet you Ronnie. I'm Joe! Oh, lemme tell ya, you're pretty!"
Ronnie blushed a little for the unexpected compliment.
Ending the hand shake, she added "you're so sweet Joe!" Watching to John, she said "we should invite to this men and the rest of their family one day!". Her husband nodded and she, watching to the another men, told "tomorrow at 5 o'clock suits fine to you?"
The American men nodded, Joe pretty excitedly. He loved to meet new people, and more if it's one of his music idols.
When the Mazzello men came back to the move, Joe exclaimed "Dad why you didn't told me that we would be deaky's neighbors?!"
Joseph watched to his son very serious.
"Joe, really you ask that? You acted like a fan! That man it's also a person, he deserves more respect!"
Joe stayed in silence.
His father continued talking.
"Tomorrow, behave please. Act like an adult."
"If act like an adult it's always being boring, I prefer to be a teen forever!" said Joe pissed.
-------
After a long day, Joe could rest in his room. He puts his old Queen posters and one of John closer to his bed. He wanted to be in that tea thing, but more for the man that will be the host. That 40-ish old man, with white-ish hair and simple clothes still make things to him. Perhaps more than when he discovered that pics with the white jumpsuit. That pics with the I want to break free video and song were his sexual awake. He recognized that he wasn't a straight boy.
"I really want to hug him at least… feel that arms around me would make me happy" he thought , watching to the roof. A deep sigh escaped of him. A wide smile in his face.
Imagining romantic scenarios with that man made him sleep deeply, despite the remaining jet lag.
John was trying to sleep and that redhead boy came to his mind. "Deaks, not that again… you love your family. Indeed you have a son that's near to the age of that guy. Don't be impulsive. What would happen if that guy it's straight or he just was nice? Try to sleep please" he was thinking. He was having an internal debate and that was noticeable to the outside. Ronnie noticed that.
"John, are you okay?"
He couldn't be fully sincere, so he lied partially.
"I think that was pretty impulsive to let to that people come to our house… Isn't my style"
She watched to him "relax John, was so nice from you. Plus they look like a kind people".
John, trying to be funny, said "oh that's why the guy told a compliment to you, when you looks like a living disaster…" and smiled.
Ronnie didn't liked that joke and when she was about to respond, Cameron started to cry in the next room.
"Cam saved you this time John".
And he was alone with his own thoughts.
"Better of that way…" he thought meanwhile his wife was to lull to their baby.
-----------------
Sunday Afternoon came and no one was lazing. Ronnie and John, meanwhile preparing the things for the tea time and care of their youngest children. Elder ones, were pissed for the visit. Except Laura. "A boy in the house that aren't my brothers, I hope that he looks cute" thought smiling the girl, meanwhile she was doing her outfit.
Her mom saw her and told to the girl "Laura, the guy haves like 20 years and you're only 14…"
"Don't care mum. Perhaps in some years we can be together…"
"Laura, you didn't saw him and you're already planning that kind of things… real life isn't like the movies"
"I SAID DON'T CARE MUM! LET ME BE HAPPY. YOU BETTER GO AND TAKE CARE OF LUKE AND CAM!" screamed the girl, really pissed.
"Behave Laura. You can't talk to me like that! One more of that and you will not have your new walkman to your next birthday!" and the woman was downstairs.
The little girl didn't suspected that also her father was interested in that guy. That chance never passed for her mind. Like her mom said, real life isn't like the movies shows. And was about to witness that, without knowing.
The Mazzellos were preparing their outfits. Joe one was a beautiful black shirt, denim jeans, white sneakers and wearing his favorite parfum. His mother saw him and told "Joey, why that parfum? That one it's for special occasions"
"Mom, we will have tea time with him, that isn't enough reason?"
His mom smiled.
"Haha, I forgot how much you love that band and that man… as a musician of course. I hope you don't misunderstood me!" and leave to her son alone.
Meanwhile, he was putting in practice his acting lessons to rehearsal how to say his feelings to that man. His mirror was the witness. And he forgot the door slightly open...
His dad caught him saying "I really love you since a lot of time…" to the mirror and he hawked to make notorious his presence.
"Joe, practice your script for the audition in the night, now it's time for the tea with the neighbors".
"Yeah, script… was the script of my own life that I was practicing" thought the boy.
--------------------------
The moment came. The tea time was there.
Both families around the table of the living room, starting to have a nice time. Robert, Michael and Joshua were pretty upset. Laura was happy. "That guy looks so beautiful. It's so cute!" she thought meanwhile she greeted him. Same thing was thinking her dad…
In some moment of the tea time, Joe asked for the bathroom. Ronnie pointed the guest bathroom. Moments later, John get up of the couch with the excuse to bring more muffins.
Meanwhile Joe was going to the living, saw John in the kitchen. "It's now or never Joey" thought.
The redhead was in John's direction.
"Mister… can I ask you something?"
Leaving the tray with muffins, John said "go ahead man" and smiled. That sweet smile that Joe always loved.
Joe blushed a little.
"Can I hug you?"
John was surprised for that question. But also kinda happy.
"Of course" and he extended his arms.
Both hugged. Joe embraced to the old man tight.
And remembering his acting classes to cover his fear, he whispered something to the ear of the man. "I like you. But not like a musician. Thank you for I want to break free, because I knew what really I want… a man like you".
John had his answer. And responded, kinda nervous, in Joe's ear "you're a cute boy. I wanna know you more".
They left the embrace and watched to the another one smiling. When Joey was about to give a kiss in the cheek of John, Laura came to the kitchen.
"What the fuck?!"
"I was about to hug your dad! He's my idol, y'know" Joe replied, winking an eye to the girl.
"Oh sorry!" she exclaimed, blushing a little. And watching now to her dad, she continued "Mum sent to me because you were delaying a lot, dad!".
The men had another hug, but this one was less tighter.
The three were going to the living. Laura in front of them. John watched mischievously to Joe for a moment and made that smirk.
The three already in the living again. The men pretending like nothing unusual happened. But both of them knew that their lives changed since that moment. And they were prepared to live something that they really wanted…
