Chapter Five

Friday morning, Jonah couldn’t contain the thrill of excitement that he would be spending the day at work with Gordon.

Of course he knew he had to be on his best behavior, no PDAs of any kind.

But he’d get to meet Gordon’s “kids.” Not like they’d ever have children.

That was one thing they’d agreed on a long time ago, that children were not for them. With their shared shitty parental experiences, they were content loving each other and being a family of two. Maybe, eventually, they’d get a dog or something, but even that was in the future.

Right now, they wanted to focus on them, and their careers. It wasn’t being selfish, it was being practical.

Jonah felt underdressed in his plain black T-shirt and jeans, when compared to Gordon and his button-down with the Sorrellson logo on it and his necktie.

With his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, Gordon had a hot-teacher vibe going on that Jonah knew he’d be thinking about for a looooong time to come.

Gordon had already cleared him to be a guest at the school today, and they signed him in via the office and gave him a guest pass when they arrived. The first class of the day was high-school-aged kids taking advanced classical guitar. Jonah brought his, and his mandolin, at Gordon’s request.

Once the bell rang to start class, Gordon smiled as he addressed the class. “So we have a special guest today.”

Two of the students immediately gasped when they realized who Jonah was, even before Gordon introduced him. Gordon let them ask questions, and they peppered Jonah with queries about the band, touring, and, of course, Mevi Maynard.

Once he and Jonah started playing, though, all of them looked awestruck. The two of them played “Word of Mouth” like they did in the video, Gordon on guitar and Jonah on mandolin. Then Jonah switched to his guitar for several of their old favorite duets, demonstrating how just because a song was classical, didn’t mean it had to be boring. Or how to take a modern song and play it classical style.

By the time the first class ended—far too soon for Jonah—he realized he was having a blast.

“Now I see why you love this,” he told Gordon.

“Right? And next year, I’m probably going to be full-time. My classes are full this year, and they’re talking about adding more instructors.” He arched an eyebrow at him. “You’d look hot in this.” He pointed a thumb at his own shirt, and Jonah laughed.

“You think so?”

“I know so. Just keep it in mind that you always have a safety net with me.”

Jonah knew Gordon still worried about possibly losing him to the band, but that wouldn’t happen. He’d gladly quit and apply to teach in a heartbeat if he needed to for Gordon’s peace of mind, but it’d be nice to have the money to build their dream house.

For now, he’d follow his heart personally and professionally.

But if the path diverged too far from Gordon, he’d adjust course immediately and always choose his man.
