I roll onto my back and let out a sigh. Itâs been about a week since taco night over at Billieâs, and tomorrow is the day when her parents are supposed to arrive. I donât know why Iâm nervous, Iâm not the one who has to meet them, but Asherâs sleeping soundly.
And I havenât been able to sleep a wink. I donât know what it is. Worry for Asher? For Billie? For both of them?
Or is it the same shit thatâs been keeping me up every night?
I havenât been able to stop thinking about what Billie said, about finding a man like us. For some reason, the idea of her in another manâs hands bothers me, and I donât understand it.
Ever since I was fifteen years old and I met Asher Bennett, Iâve been convinced that Iâm a gay man. Iâd never felt anything like the pull I felt towards him, about anyone. Iâd never had much interest in girls, but to be fair, itâs not like I was lusting after other men, either. It was justâ¦Asher. I knew, deep down, that he was meant for me, on some instinctual level.
So to have these weird, possessive, jealous feelings about someone else, especially a woman, is confusing the hell out of me. I love Asher, that hasnât changed in the slightest, but that doesnât stop me from thinking about that curvy beauty next door.
I sigh and carefully climb out of bed. I donât know why Iâm so cautious, Asher sleeps like a rock.
I close the bedroom door behind me and head downstairs. In the living room, we have an upright piano, and I settle myself on the bench and lift the cover. I know with the door closed, the noise shouldnât carry, but even so, I at least start out pressing the keys gently to keep the tune quiet.
Itâs my oldest habit, Iâd started learning to play when I was about six, on a school piano. All throughout my school years, when things got bad, Iâd break into the music room to play. At least until high school, when I befriended the teacher and heâd started leaving the door unlocked, so I could come in and enjoy a little music therapy whenever I needed it.
Itâs the best way in the world to clear my head. I focus in on swirling notes and the music drowns out my worries for just a little while. The longer I play, the more I forget myself, and I realize that Iâve pretty quickly abandoned any attempts to keep the noise down.
But the deeper I lose myself, the less I notice my surroundings, and the music consumes me until I feel Asherâs arm around my waist and realize heâs sitting beside me. âSorry, babe,â I murmur, dropping my hands from the keys, âDid I wake you?â
He shakes his head. âNo, had to use the bathroom, but I came down to check on you when I realized you werenât in bed. Whatâs on your mind?â
âNothing important,â I mumble, leaning my head on his shoulder.
