“Listen, Frankie. I’ve got to tell you something.” Addison’s stomach jumped, but he knew it was the right thing to do to tell him about the column. Frankie would find out eventually and Addison didn’t want him to get hurt by finding out from someone else. He wasn’t going to bring up Julia at all. Julia was going to end the next moment Addison had to himself. It had been over for a long time anyway, he’d just been too chicken to do anything about it. Next chance he had he’d call her and she’d be out of his life.

“What?” Frankie’s lips were swollen and wet from their kisses and the wine they’d shared at the park. They had been lying on his bed, still fully clothed, kissing and talking.

The buzz from Frankie’s strong wine had worn off, but he still didn’t regret asking Frankie to come inside. He never invited Julia inside, or he wouldn’t if she’d ever deigned to come near his place. There was something different about how it was with Frankie. He’d never felt it with Julia or anyone else he’d dated, even the few guys he’d been with back when he’d escaped up north for college. Addison didn’t know what was going on with Frankie, but he knew that nothing was as good as being near him.

Frankie propped himself up on Addison’s chest and regarded him seriously. “Are you going to tell me whatever it is you said you had to tell me?” Addison sighed. He was awful at conflict. “When I said I worked at the newspaper, I didn’t tell you the whole story.”

“What is the whole story?”

Addison froze. I can’t do it.

“Listen, I know I assumed you were a reporter, but if you’re not it’s okay, Addie.” Oh, no. He thinks I’m embarrassed because I have some entry level job. Addison felt even worse.
