A little after 2:00, my pocket started buzzing and dinging. The weight of the phone had been present all day, a constant reminder of the man who’d given it to me, and I’d been even more aware of its weight as “our usual lunchtime” approached. Still somehow surprised by the cacophony at my hip, I fished the device out, nearly dropping it again.

Jamie Flores was calling me. I pressed what looked like a button and put the phone to my ear.

“Hello?”

“Mi tesoro.” His voice sounded weird. A little echoey. “Can you see me?”

I spent a split second in confusion, then—feeling like a dummy again—lowered the phone. The sight of the brown-eyed, dimpled man on my screen erased my embarrassment. “I can now. Sorry. Still figuring the phone out.”

He laughed. “No problem. I probably could have gotten you something simpler, but I wanted to get you something with a good camera. So I can see you, even when I can’t see you.”

“It’s too much.”

“It’s not enough, Beck. You deserve nice things, and useful things. And I couldn’t go a whole week without talking to you.”

“It’s good to talk to you, too.” It was. It really was.

“Can you talk now?”

“Yes.”

“And you’re alone?”

“I’m in the stockroom.”

“So if I tell you I’m still thinking about how beautiful you are, how sexy you were yesterday, how good you taste, no one will hear me?”

My face had never gotten so hot so quickly. I looked around the room, making sure I hadn’t missed some dark-cloaked spy, then whispered. “It’s just me.”

“Fuerte, Beck.”

“It’s just me.”

“Good.” He grinned. I felt my knees go weak and sat down on a box. “I’ll be thinking about that until I see you again, but I miss just having you around, too. Sharing a meal. Chatting. Getting to know you.”

“Me, too.”

“I know. One week. And we can talk whenever we want. See each other, even if it’s just on a screen.”

“I’d like that.” Not wanting to sound needy, I paused before asking, “Can we talk tonight? After Gavin shows me how to use the phone?”

A wicked gleam came into his eyes. “I’d like to, but I think…I think I want you to do something for me. Something for both of us?”

“What?”

“Forget me. Just for one night. See if Gavin or Jay wants to go out. Spend time with people you trust, outside of work.”

“I… I’d rather talk to you.”

“I want to talk to you, too, hermoso. But if I won’t see you—really see you—for a week, I want to know you’re having fun. Living your life. I don’t like thinking of you alone all the time.”

“Okay.”

“You’ll ask them out tonight?”

“Yes.”

“Promise?”

“I promise.”

“Bueno, mi tesoro.”

I smiled and swallowed, and when I had the courage to speak, I said, “I love it when you call me that.”
