Chapter 15

The week after the meeting with Matt is insanely busy. I wake up on Monday with Ben giving me a good morning kiss on my forehead before he gets in the shower. It’s seven in the morning and we were up pretty late. I want to join him in the shower, but he says he has to be in early and I should just sleep in and leave whenever I want. He says he’ll leave me the keys and just get them back at the end of the day. I am pretty impressed at how comfortable he is with the whole thing.

His cell phone starts buzzing on the nightstand while he’s in the shower. Who could be calling him this early in the morning? My curiosity gets the best of me and I lean towards his side of the bed just before the phone stops ringing. Ezra Hunter. Mr. Hunter is calling Ben on his cell phone at seven in the morning. Why? What could be so urgent to have such an early call?

Sure, Ben uses his cell for business. He and Mr. Hunter are very friendly, but are they friendly enough to call each other at this time of the day? I see the screen flash again. A new voicemail message. I wish I could listen to that voicemail without consequences.

I toss and turn, trying to go to sleep, but I can’t sleep anymore after that. I wish I had never seen who was calling. The thought of that phone call will bother me until I will have the balls to ask him what it was all about. What if the rumors of the relationship between them are true? Don’t be ridiculous, Prudence.

But another voice says, “It’s possible.”

If there’s one thing I have learned about New York, it’s that straight men are hard to find. Mr. Hunter is so much older than him, though! Ben also doesn’t strike me as bisexual, but the truth is, I know zero about bisexual people. I only have “straight-up” gay friends.

He comes out of the shower just as I’m having these kinds of thoughts about him, and I blush, embarrassed. He is naked except for a towel around his waist, and another one around his neck, the rest of his body still covered in droplets of water. He chuckles seeing me lower my eyes.

Of course he doesn’t know my blush is due to my malicious thoughts, and not the fact that he is impossibly hot, freshly showered, with his wet hair swept back.

“You’re adorable, you know that?” he says with his back to me, looking at me in the mirror on the dresser.

“Shut up!” I say, covering my face with my hands. He doesn’t stop the teasing, though, and drops the towel around his waist on the floor, so I’m left staring at his butt. I even like his tan lines, it’s ridiculous, really.

He seems to be putting on a show for me, so I lie on my side and hold my head up.
