Chapter 3/3: Future
“Hello?...hey baby, what’s....okay...I told you I’d...Sweetie! Yes he is picking me up, but he’s not here yet. I’ll be home in, like an hour and then we can go over it. Okay?...good. I love you too. Bye.”
Ryan closed the small cell phone with a snap and put it in his pocket as Drew Carey chuckled beside him.
“Colin I presume?”
“Yeah, he’s just freaking out because tomorrow we’re going down to the adoption agency. He thinks Im gonna say something stupid, even though we’ve been over what we’re gonna say like two-hundred times.”
“Even if ya did say something stupid I don’t think they could deny you. I’ve seen you and Colin together, you’ll be perfect parents.”, Drew said smiling up at his co-star.
Drew had been working with Ryan for almost 4 years now and he knew a bit about him. Not just his background, but about the man himself. Drew knew Ryan could have a temper, he also knew Ryan was one of the most caring people around. He would always find his own way to help out his friends.
His friends. Drew thought. He also knew a lot about his friends, mostly from Whose Line is it Anyway?. He’s even meet a few. Great bunch of guys, and they are all so funny together. Drew had told Ryan that and Ryan had suggested trying to give Whose Line? a new American home on ABC, but that was risky. It might not take with American audiences.
And of course he’d meet Colin. Ryan was a different person around Colin, well maybe not a different person, just completely himself. Ryan’s eyes shone with love at the mere mention of his husband’s name and when they were together they made each other strong. Drew could only hope that one day he’d have something like they did.
“Thanks man.”, Ryan said clapping Drew on the shoulder.
“So why are you getting picked up?”
“You know the Pathfinder’s in the shop.”
“Yeah, because you and Colin couldn’t take it to the bedroom like everyone else!”
Ryan tried not to blush. He and Colin had driven home from a romantic dinner one evening and were getting intimate in the front seat. Ryan had Colin pinned on the driver’s seat and just as he moved for the Canadian’s pants, there was a cracking sound as the seat snapped straight back.
Ryan smiled fondly at the memory of the moment. Colin had been laughing hysterically as Ryan tried to keep his suave persona in order. He had been rather proud of his ablity to seduce Colin, usually that worked the other way.
“I think it’ll be more fun like this.”, Ryan had murmured leaning down to kiss his partner.
“Of course..hun..”, Colin answered around Ryan’s kiss and his own laughter.
They locked eyes then and Colin stopped giggling as his smile grew wider. Ryan stared into his lover’s warm, safe, coffee colored eyes and titled his head slightly to the left, confused, and Colin started laughing again. Ryan remembered feeling a strong sense of companionship wash over him.
“You are such a dork.”, Colin had said to him, adoration apparent in his smile and tone.
“I know and that’s why you love me.”, Ryan replied, entrapping Colin’s mouth with his own.
After fooling around a little they had moved into the house, but still didn’t make it to the bedroom right away. They made love twice in the living room, and then again up against the kitchen wall before finally wrapping the night up in their bedroom.
“What about the Supra?”, Drew asked, pulling Ryan from his reminiscing.
“Please. I wouldn’t be could dead driving that thing, even if I could fit in it.”
Drew couldn’t help but laugh at the picture of Ryan’s six foot six frame cramped behind the wheel of the tiny sports car.
“Hey Ryan!”, called a fairly young sounding voice from across the studio.
Drew followed Ryan’s happy gaze to a chipper dark skinned man. He watched as Ryan and the new comer embraced shortly, captivated by his attractive demeanor. Drew was surprised at himself for the amount of staring he was doing. It was down right impolite, so instead of focusing on the man’s lively eyes he zoomed in on his conversation with Ryan. They were both chatting happily.
“I know it’s only been like 5 months, and I was only with the cast for like two seasons, but we were like family! I miss you guys!”
“I know what ya mean. It’s hard not seeing everyone, especially with Greg staying in England.”
“He loves the lifestyle over there, what can ya do? So how’s everyone else?”
“Colin and I fantastic. It’s been like living a dream. Um, Chip and Brad are still on their honeymoon...nothing much else. Everyone’s just livin’ life. What have you been up to?”
“Aw, odd acting jobs. Anything I can get really.”
Suddenly Ryan remembered something.
“I am such a spaz! Drew, meet Wayne Brady. Wayne, Drew Carey.”
Wayne Brady. Drew never knew that just a name could mean so much. Wayne flashed a big smile of white teeth and held out his hand.
“It’s an honor to meet you Drew!”, Wayne said shaking enthusiastically.
“An honor? How so?”, Drew couldn’t keep the suspicion out of his voice.
“Oh don’t worry Im not making fun of you. I watch the show. Okay so I love the show. I guess you could say Im your number one fan.”
Drew cocked an eyebrow at the man who’s hand was still in his.
“Wow, that sounded super stalker-ish.”, Wayne added.
“Hey a stalker is still a fan!”, Drew said with a wink.
Wayne let go of Drew’s hand to slap his knee while he let out a howling laugh. Drew picked up on how moldable Wayne was, how he seemed to need to be in the moment. He also noticed how endearing his dimples were.
“Very true!”
“So, uh, you worked with Ryan on Whose Line? ?”, Drew asked, just wanting to hear Wayne’s pleasant voice.
“Yeah. I joined the show on it’s last season which was only had a couple of episodes. So much for a jump start on my career.”, he replied, shrugging.
“Im sure you have a lot of talents that could get you far in Hollywood.”, Drew said, trying unsuccessfully from letting his eyes travel down Wayne’s healthy figure.
“You’d be surprised. If ya want I could show you sometime.” He paused here, as he did so Drew caught a glint of something in the other man’s eyes.
Out of the corner of his eye Drew could see Ryan. He had his arms crossed, and a knowing smirk was his expression.
“I’d love that.”
“Me too.”, Wayne said, laying a hand on Drew’s arm.
Wayne must’ve picked up on Ryan’s demeanor as well because he dropped his hand back to his side, however he didn’t step back. Drew took that as a sign, and dove in.
“Are you married or—?” He stopped as he realized he was speaking at the same time as Wayne.
“What?, they asked, again, at the same time.
“Well isn’t this something out of your own sit-com, eh Drew?!” Ryan managed to get out through his heavy laughter.
Drew bit his lower lip, trying not to blush. He had hoped he hadn’t been that obvious.
“Shouldn’t you be at home with the wife?, Drew asked Ryan, knowing that would shut him up.
As expected Ryan sobered quite quickly.
“You know I hate when you call—Oh crap. I told Colin I’d be home in an hour. With traffic I’ll be lucky if I get there only a few minutes late.”
Wayne glanced at his watch.
“You’re right. I’ll bring the car around, it’s parked kinda far. It was really nice meeting you Drew.”, Wayne said, squeezing his shoulder.
Wayne walked backwards, smiling at Drew as he did so, about half way to the doors, where he stumbled on a piece of equipment, evoking another laugh from Ryan. Even though they didn’t get a chance to exchange phone numbers, Drew had feeling they would meet again, and when that meeting came they would be better prepared for each other, Wayne prepared for Drew’s sharp blue eye’s that seemed to know him already, and Drew for Wayne’s wanting to know him.
“Down boy.”, Ryan said, when Wayne was out the doors.
“What are you talking about?”
Ryan just raised his eyebrows and shook his head as they walked towards the doors.
“I think I might take your idea and try to bring Whose Line? to ABC.”
Ryan looked at the shorter man beside him, and with mock shock said, “Really? Why I can’t imagine what could’ve changed your mind!”
“Oh Shut up, Big Bird.”, Drew told him.
Ryan let out a genuine laugh and threw an arm over Drew’s shoulders. Drew didn’t know much about love, but he did know some. He knew that love was what life made worth living, he knew love could make men do crazy things, and he knew love was timeless. It could happen at anytime in your life and change your past, present, and future. As the two men stepped out of the studio and into the sunny late afternoon Los Angles day, a smile stretched over Drew’s face. He had a feeling he was going to love improv..
