Chapter Sixteen

The weekend couldn’t come fast enough for Brandon. It had been hell not being able to connect with Tash aside from some hurried phone calls. But Wednesday was his first parent-teacher night, and he wanted it to be perfect. He also had lessons to plan, tests to grade, and a couple of classes to sub. By Friday night, he was exhausted, edgy, and ready to rip Tash’s clothes off. They were all meeting for dinner at Esther’s, and though Brandon looked forward to seeing his brothers again, he couldn’t wait to see Tash.

The dinginess of his studio couldn’t dampen Brandon’s eagerness; Tash had texted him to say he’d be swinging by to pick him up and whatever belongings he had. Tonight Brandon was moving into Drew’s grandmother’s house. He had no qualms about living with the elderly lady. Tash had assured him she was someone special, and Ash had texted him that Esther had already prepared an entire suite of rooms for him and even sent Brandon pictures of her interior decorating.

After glancing around the room to make sure he’d left nothing personal, Brandon sat down to wait, his attention fixed on the door. He’d leave this room the way he came—with merely two suitcases and his leather jacket. Now he was glad the room he’d rented was furnished so he didn’t need to concern himself with selling any furniture, which would have been a major hassle.

His phone buzzed.

Downstairs. Do you need help?

His heart rate accelerated. Damn, he couldn’t wait to see Tash.

Nope. I’ll be down in a few minutes.

With a final look around, he left the apartment and caught the back of the door with his foot to hook it closed. It slammed with a final hollow thump. As the landlord had asked, Brandon left his key on the table. Never in his imagination had he thought when he’d moved in that he’d leave to move into the home of the grandmother of his brother’s boyfriend.

He couldn’t wait to see what the future held for him now.

The sight of Tash’s car idling at the curb lifted his spirits even higher. As he approached, Tash got out and the hatchback lifted. He walked to the rear of the car, and they each picked up a suitcase and placed it in the trunk. Tash closed the hatch down, then smiled at him.

“Hi.” His smile was endearingly crooked, and without thinking, Brandon slipped an arm around Tash’s neck and kissed his cheek. He never thought of himself as a particularly demonstrative person, but when he was around Tash, he couldn’t seem to keep his hands to himself.

Tash didn’t seem to mind and brushed back the hair hanging in Brandon’s eyes. “Missed you this week.”

“Me too.” He touched Tash’s face with his fingertips, tracing the jut of his cheekbone. “So much, you have no idea.” He leaned in for a kiss, and Tash pressed his mouth to Brandon’s, their lips soft and giving.

For a second, they clung to one another; then Tash pulled back, his eyes glowing behind the frame of his glasses.
