Have you ever looked at a person and wondered what you did to deserve them? As Sal and I drove to Mario’s house the next night, I couldn’t help but wonder, while he talked away about this game or that song. He acted like he hadn’t just been part of a big, demonstrative kiss at a public sporting event.

We pulled up to a stop sign just as the newest hit pop song of the week wound down. I was about to tell him my feelings when the DJ jumped in on the tail end of whoever had been singing and started talking about me and Sal at the ball game. I stared at Sal. He stared at me. The DJ said some very cool things about us, about how happy he was that gay athletes were coming out, and wished us and the Cougars well.

“How about that?” Sal said, then smiled. “I thought for sure the blowback would be bad, but aside from the inevitable bigots here and there, people have been pretty epic about that kiss.”

“Yeah, I’m glad we did it; came out as a couple that way. It felt natural, you know? Not at all like that nightmare Dan and Vic went through.” My car smoothly rounded the corner onto Mario’s street. “You having any regrets about it? Or me?” I asked as we slid into McGarrity’s driveway.

Sal unbuckled his belt and leaned over the console, his breath hot on my cheek. “I have zero regrets.”

I gave him a shy sideways look.

“It should be me asking you that. You still good dating old, seropositive me?”

“Zero regrets,” I said.

He kissed me so softly it tickled slightly. I reached for him to deepen the kiss, because kissing him was amazing and made me feel wonderful. He tipped his head to the left, his lips soft and needy. I tasted the seam of his mouth with the tip of my tongue. A hot groan rumbled from deep within his chest.

“Hey, you two want to cool it? We got neighbors, for shit’s sake,” Mario shouted from his front porch.

Sal and I flew apart instantly, heat pinking my cheeks.

“Sorry,” I mumbled when we were out of the car and facing Mario on the stoop.

He gave my head a soft cuff, then held out a hand to Sal. It was great to see them shaking hands, even if it was strained. I stepped into the modest but well-decorated home and breathed deeply. The rich scent of something Italian filled my lungs.

“Lila’s fiddling around with some sort of weird sauce in the kitchen,” Mario informed us, then motioned us to head in that direction.

We skirted around the living room and dining room, both done in bright colors with unique and tasteful furniture.

“Seamus, just because the sauce isn’t red doesn’t mean it’s weird,” Lila chimed in as we walked into the spacious kitchen.

Lila was grating cheese. She looked nice. Of course, she always did, but sometimes it struck me how beautiful she really was. Her hair was up off her neck, and she had gold earrings dangling from her lobes.
