ارے guys! I'm so sorry for not continuing this fic sooner, but I really couldn't write anymore as I didn't believe in Huli that much anymore... But my unconscience wouldn't let me quit Huli, so I guess this is a nice place to let all the imagination out and just enjoy it:) I hope آپ will still like this fic, I've got it all planned out and as I am on vacation I certainly have the time to write new chappies:)

Thanks for waiting & enjoy!

Part 10

‘Stephen…’, Hugh کہا walking into the living room. ‘Hugh, my man… how have آپ been doing?’, Stephen gave Hugh a friendly man hug. ‘Just about fine….’ Stephen nodded, ‘We’ll have to talk about that then.’ ‘Hmmm… What about you?’ ‘Just splendid, as always, have been in town for a few days now, shooting this new Bones-episode.’ ‘Ahh, I was wondering if آپ were, why didn’t آپ call to stay here?’ ‘I just started shooting 2 days پہلے and the first night there was this big party, so there wasn’t really a need for a place to sleep. As for the سیکنڈ night, I thought maybe آپ had someone over… with all the rumors I heard I thought…’ Hugh sighed. ‘… that maybe you, what do they call it, … ‘got lucky’’ ‘O god...’ ‘So those rumors…’ ‘Not true.’ ‘That’s too bad, it would be good for you…’ ‘You know what would be good for me? If everyone just stopped telling me how to live my life. I’m fine, I have a job, friends, I play in a band…’, Hugh sighed. ‘And that is great, but…’, Stephen stopped as he saw Hugh’s face cloud, ‘… I guess we should go to the باورچی خانے, باورچی خانہ and get ourselves some food and coffee.’ Hugh nodded and gave Stephen a little ‘thank-you’-smile.

‘Hugh?’, Stephen asked while inspecting the contents of Hugh’s refrigerator. ‘Yes?’ ‘This is your fridge right?’ ‘Yeah… is something wrong?’ ‘Well… while there are lots of vegetables and buckets of ice-cream in here, there is only this small package of ham and no other meat! Also I see all these weird things like diet yoghurt, fresh fruit smoothies and low-fat cheese, what’s with that?’ Hugh blushed, he had kind of adjusted his shopping to Lisa’s likings. He didn’t really care about what food he ate, he could eat a coaster and wouldn’t notice, but for Lisa… well he just wanted her to have those things she liked… and spoil her a little with the ice-cream. ‘Ehm… yeah… just some leftovers, Lisa cooked for me the other night and... ehm I haven’t had a change to go to the grocery store yet plus… I got to watch the weight a little, I’m trying to quit smoking and everything... and آپ know how…’ Stephen nodded, he had quit smoking a few years پہلے and had definitely gained some pounds, ‘I guess I do. But really? Are آپ trying to quit again?’ ‘Yeah… I just thought I would give it another try…’, this was not completely true, but Stephen didn’t have to know that Lisa had actually pursued him to quit.

He had agreed to quit, but not without getting her to agree to something as well, she had to promise him to eat at least one extra piece of food every day, the food of choice containing at least 50 kilocalories. He had been a little scared that she would be mad at him for proposing such a deal, but she had just thought about it for a منٹ than looked at her own body and in his eyes and had nodded in agreement. That had been about two months پہلے and they had kept their promise ever since. Lisa had gained 2 pounds, which was mostly because of Thursday-night ice-cream, but he still praised her every chance he got, which she always returned as he had not smoked even one cigarette since their agreement.

‘So how’s that working out?’ ‘Great, I haven’t smoked a cigarette in nearly 2 months.’ Stephen smirked, ‘Well, that certainly is great. How about we eat some ٹوسٹ with eggs a little cheese and ham maybe…’ Stephen started to rummage around in the kitchen, ‘I guess I should make us ناشتا, برونکہ right?’ Hugh nodded, ‘Yeah, my cooking skills are still somewhat non-existent.’ ‘Hmm… سے طرف کی the way what are آپ actually doing this afternoon at 2?’ ‘I.. ehm… I kind of… I’m going shopping…’ Stephen turned around, ‘Are آپ sure you’re okay? آپ realize that from the two of us I am the gay man and آپ are the heterosexual one? And although I would find it very amusing if آپ told me آپ actually like men instead of women, which I completely understand as I have no idea what to do with these womanly creatures, in a love-relationship that is, but I just don’t think it fits you… آپ know…’ Stephen smirked after that in wait of Hugh’s response. ‘Don’t worry… I didn’t confuse us… and آپ really don’t know what you’re missing.’, Hugh smirked back.

Stephen laughed, ‘Apparently آپ don’t either as I know how long it’s been for you, but this shopping thing then… what is it?’ ‘I am going shopping with Liz.’ ‘Ahhh, now it all makes sense... Liz huh?’, Stephen smirked and looked at Hugh expectantly. Hugh rolled his eyes, ‘No! It’s not like that…, we both need some new clothes for the upcoming House and لومڑی Christmas parties, so… we just thought it would be مزید fun to get them together… as friends.. just buying clothes…’ ‘Hmmm, right…’, Stephen smirked again not believing a word Hugh had said. ‘O, come on! I don’t… Lisa and I… I…’, he had wanted to tell Stephen he didn’t like Lisa, but somehow he couldn’t say it. ‘It could be a great thing آپ know…’ ‘We’re just friends…’ ‘So آپ don’t like her?’ ‘Of course I like her! Just not in that way…’ ‘O, well… alright then, but really Hugh, when was the last time آپ even went out with someone?’ ‘O god, not again, not آپ too…’ ‘What? What do آپ mean?’ ‘My brother asked me to come to his Christmas party in London…’ ‘So?’ ‘With a date.’ ‘Ahh…’ ‘I told Robert and he fixed me up with some horrible woman, آپ really don’t want to know, so now I only have 20 days to find someone, who wants to go to England with me, but I’m seriously sick of dating…’ ‘So آپ wouldn’t be interested in this woman I know from…’ ‘No, please… I don’t want to get fixed up ever again.’ ‘Alright then, well the food is ready anyway, so here آپ go!’ ‘Thanks.’, Hugh smiled. ‘I’ll just visit the bathroom and then come and شامل میں you.’, Stephen کہا and walked away.

Plan 1B failed as well. Need to change 2A. Birds are flying into the city this afternoon, shopping for partyclothes. Send bait to Big Bird’s پسندیدہ store. Call me @ 2.
