Chapter Four

“That girl is into you,” Mike said. He’d stopped by Brandon’s trailer after supper. Brandon so didn’t want to have this discussion at this time. “She would have screwed you easily.”

“Thanks, I think.” His didn’t dare take his eyes from the TV screen. “She’s all right, in her own way.”

“But you’re not interested. Why the hell not? She’s decent looking.”

Brandon stopped to think about that. He couldn’t even remember her name and it wasn’t for lack of trying. What little he did remember about her didn’t impress him. She was annoying as hell, and what the fuck was up with that silly little laugh? She sounded like a hyena. “Then you can date her.”

“Funny.” Mike sat back on the couch and picked at the hem of his t-shirt.

“She’s annoying.” There, he’d said it. He neglected to leave out the other reasons for his lack of interest.

Mike laughed. “I’ll give you that much.” He grabbed the remote from the coffee table and flicked the channels. “Shit, shit and more shit. Is there anything decent on anymore?”

“Fucked if I know.” Brandon jumped up from the couch and headed into the kitchen. “Soda or coffee?” he called out.

“Soda’s fine.”

He handed Mike a soda and sat down next to him. “I don’t think your cousin likes me,” he said.

“Jace? He’s just a little off. By the way, I think you may be right about him.”

“Right about what?”

“Him being gay. I asked him if he was.”

Brandon sucked in a deep breath and cracked open his soda. “What did he say?” He wondered if Jace had told Mike anything about them.

“He didn’t answer me, not really. I think he is, but isn’t ready to admit to it openly yet.”

“That’s his choice. It can’t be an easy thing to do, if he is. A lot of people aren’t that accepting.”

“I respect him. I told him it was okay if he was. It wouldn’t cause me to look at him differently. It must be hard hiding something like that. And how do you begin to find…you know, someone. This town is harsh enough as it is. How do two guys know that they both like dick?”

Brandon coughed and nearly choked on his soda. “Jesus,” he said, swiping one palm across his lips. “Do you have to be so fucking blunt?”

“But think about it. Two guys doing it…Who gets to decide who fucks who? Do they flip a coin or something?”

“We are not having this conversation.” Brandon tried to focus on the movie playing on the TV and not the weird conversation he was having with his good friend.

“It’s probably hot. It makes total sense when you think about it.”

“Are you serious?” Brandon tossed his head back and laughed hard.

“A guy would know what to do to another guy. It makes perfect sense that it would feel pretty good.”

“I suppose. Let’s go out and do something. I’m bored as hell here. There has to be something to do in this crappy town.”

“Are you okay?” Mike asked.

“Yup.” He said it a little too quickly for his liking.
