Five days.

That was how long it had been since he’d seen Kelley. Yeah, they talked every day now, not just texting, which was still something he had to get used to. He hated to admit that he liked it. Kelley made him laugh and forget and he needed that sometimes. Not that he would ever tell anyone that. Evie would never let him live it down. She had taken a liking to Kelley as well, so much so that when Kelley had called the other night to invite Alex on another date she had insisted on talking to him.

No dates out that night, but he was going to Kelley’s house for dinner and to watch some movies. And the part of the date that had caused one of his episodes to show up, the part that made his skin feel hot and clammy, his breath to go shallow, and his heart race and his belly flutter?

He was most likely going to spend the night.

Heart racing and belly flutters were just him being nervous. Understandable. It’s the other feelings that were racing through him at the thought of that night and what it meant. Oh yeah. He knew that spending the night wasn’t a big thing to most people but for him it was big, but not for what people would think was the reason.

It wasn’t fear, he knew they could do nothing and it would be fine. Kelley would not push him. It wasn’t about having sex with the sexy-as-fuck guy with eyes that seemed to see him and a voice that seemed to calm his nerves.

It was about being in someone else’s space that scared him.

He trusted Kelley, but he hadn’t done that in so long. “Just being,” wasn’t something he was good at. Everything felt so tightly coiled inside him at all times, seemingly against his will. Like a habit that he just couldn’t break. Holding it all in. He had to be in control of it, he couldn’t let all those things inside him out, he had to be strong and stable…for Evie. He would not let his father down. If he had to repeat that a million times a day, he would.

Letting go wasn’t an option.

Taking a couple of deep breaths, he made his way out of the car he had ordered to bring him to Kelley’s. He had wanted to pick Alex up but that wasn’t a good idea. That was putting the night in Kelley’s hands, and as much as being in Kelley’s hands sounded appealing, it wasn’t the physical part that was the problem. Being there at his house was bad enough, he just needed an out just in case.

He walked up the driveway toward the small covered entryway to the left of the garage. On the opposite side from where he entered there was a wrought iron gate and a video intercom on the wall to the right. Alex pushed the buzzer and waited. After about a minute, of no answer, Kelley’s face appeared on the little screen.
