Chapter Thirteen

Ethan

After breakfast, Ethan and Blayne headed back to the apartment. Blayne had to teach that afternoon, followed by a graduate seminar he was taking. Ethan was glad he got some alone time with Blayne that morning before Blayne had to head off for the day.

“Dude, I’ll be fine. I have no problem lounging around your apartment for the day. Honestly, it’s been ages since I’ve had nothing scheduled, so it will be nice to chill for once. Besides, I have the new book I bought this morning.”

“Okay,” Ethan responded. “If you need anything, call my cell.”

“Speaking of cells, I should probably finally check mine. I’m almost worried to see what messages people have left since I up and disappeared.”

Ethan noticed the strange look cross Blayne’s face, but Blayne said nothing. Instead, Blayne went about putting together his attaché case for the day.

“God, I feel like we’re Ozzie and Harriet. I’m leaving for work while you stay home eating bonbons on the couch.”

“More like Lucy and Ricky,” Ethan countered. “I promise not to blow anything up while you’re gone.”

“Lucy, you’ve got some ‘splaining to do!” Blayne replied in a dismal Ricky Ricardo impersonation. “Well, I’m out of here. I have enough time to get to class.”

“Have fun, Teach,” Ethan said. He walked Blayne to the front door of his apartment, which felt odd. I’m acting like I own the place. Ethan reached out and grabbed Blayne, pulling him in for a quick bear hug. “Thanks for everything. You have no idea how much this means to me.”

Blayne gave him a quick peck on the cheek before pulling away. “It’s not a problem at all. I enjoy having you around. But I hope you take the time to deal with whatever’s going on with you. In the immortal words of Lucille Ball, ‘It’s a helluva start, being able to recognize what makes you happy.’ Or maybe you need, ‘Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.’ Lucy’s great for a lot of wisdom.”

Ethan pulled away a bit and looked Blayne in the face. “You sure know your I Love Lucy.”

“If you get bored, I have the full series on Blu-ray under the TV,” he responded with a quick flash of his eyebrows and a mischievous grin. Blayne turned the door handle behind him and left the apartment.

Blayne was right, though. But then, so was Lucy. Ethan had a lot of shit he hadn’t been dealing with. How did Blayne put it? “You can’t change everything, but you can’t change anything until you face it?” Guess it’s time for me to face the music.

Ethan walked through the apartment to the guest bedroom and found his cell phone. The green light on top showed that it was fully charged. He unplugged the device and powered it on.

As soon as it powered on, he saw the stream of texts immediately start blowing up his phone. He puffed his cheeks and let out a slow breath before diving into them.
