THE LINE

BETWEEN BETRAYAL

AND HONESTY

I followed Gabriel into the house. Nathan went back to finish the lawn.

The family room was clustered with the furniture brought in from the living room. There was a large red stain on the carpet by the fireplace in the back.

“You should have seen it this morning,” Gabriel said. “Nathan and Kota cleared out all the beer cans and shit.”

“Where did they get them from?”

“I don’t know,” he said. “They won’t talk to us.”

There was noise coming from the living room, so I followed the sound. Victor was on the floor on his knees, painting along the baseboard in the living room. His Armani shirt, the sleeves rolled to his elbows, was splotched with paint, too. He was in a pair of jeans that may have been Kota’s or Gabriel’s as they looked a bit long for his legs. It was an unusual sight to see him in something so casual.

“Victor?” I called to him. He didn’t budge. He kept applying the brush to spots along the wall.

It stunned me for a moment. Was he ignoring me? I glanced at Gabriel.

Gabriel clapped his hands loudly. “Oy!” he shouted at Victor.

Victor blinked and then sat up, turning. When he saw me, he stood up and yanked headphones out of his ear. “About time,” he said.

I nearly skipped over to him. He wrapped his arms around my waist, hugging me tightly.

“Hi, Victor,” I said in a quiet voice. He smelled of paint, and the fumes from the room were overwhelming as it was. I ended up holding my breath.

“Hi, Princess,” he said. “Did you have fun?” He leaned his head back and looked at me, a brown eyebrow rising above his fire eyes. “Looks like you did.”

“The bike ride messed up my hair. But I brought muffins.”

Victor laughed. He kissed my cheek once before he backed off, still holding on to my hand. He turned to Gabriel. “Are we done?”

“I’m fucking done,” Gabriel said. “Painting rooms white is shit. Remind me not to get a job painting. Ever.” He leaned over snagging my hand and tugging me toward the kitchen. “Except your room. I want to paint your room. And what kind of muffins are these?”

“Chocolate chip cappuccino,” I said. “I think they’re my new favorite.”

They both seemed to perk up at this. Gabriel opened the bag, dumping the muffins onto the kitchen table.

Victor picked one up, gazing at the rest. “How many did he buy?”

“All of them,” I said.

Gabriel laughed. “I think North is now in the lead as to who is spoiling you the most.”

“Not quite,” Victor said with a quiet smile.

I sat on the counter, opening one of the muffins. Seeing them again and remembering how good the first one had been, I found new room in my stomach for another.

Victor climbed up beside me, sitting close enough that our thighs were pressing together. He leaned over me a bit and watched as I took a bite. “Is it good?”

I was going to hand it over, but he caught my wrist and drew the muffin to his mouth.
