GRIFFON

“CHEERS,” ALL FOUR OF us say in unison.

Pierce smiles. “To young love.” There’s a mischievous twinkle in his eye and his smirk tells me he’s thinking of something too inappropriate to say aloud.

Baby grins. “Yes, to young love.”

Then, we take long swigs of our expensive water then set our glasses down.

It’s a little after seven o’clock at night.

The four of us sit around a table in Le Souk Restaurant.

I’m not sure whose idea it was for a Moroccan feast tonight…Says the guy with the sensitive stomach…So, unless the chairs we’re sitting on double as toilets, someone better have an explanation as to why we’re shitting…no sitting…here.

I peruse the menu in front of me and it all looks tasty.

“How do you know we’re in love?” Ryker scrunches up his face.

I shoot him a look.

In the last few weeks, Ryker had been staying at my shitty apartment more than he had his own. Surprisingly, Babbo didn’t seem to mind. He and Ryker often sat together in front of our new seventy-inch flat screen TV and watched Monday night football while I studied. Babbo made chicken cacciatore again too and we ate at our tiny table together. It felt good to let someone new into our little ghost home. But I did wonder then, as I do now, why Ryker prefers sometimes never to go home. Why he’d rather squeeze next to me in my single bed beneath my Batman sheets than spend the night in his sprawling penthouse apartment on the Upper West Side? Why he often wakes up in a cold sweat lying next to me, holding on to me as if he fears I’ll let him go.

And nothing about his dislike of clowns makes any fucking sense to me. I’d only discovered that while at my place when I tossed him a stuffed one and he practically jumped out of his body before kicking it across the room like he was summoning his inner Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the midst of this dinner my thoughts are all over the place!

Laughter draws me out of my rumination.

Ryker lifts a shoulder. “I mean, we are, but how do you know we are?”

Baby’s brow lifts. “Trust me, we saw how deep in love you two are.”

Heat flares up the back of my neck boiling my skin.

Pierce and Baby crack up laughing.

I cover my face with a hand and peek out at Ryker who looks completely lost.

I toss him a look.

His mouth falls open. “Oh, fuck.”

Pierce and Baby laugh louder, so hard that I swear they’re about to fall out of their chairs.

“Oh my God,” I whisper, turning away from them to find the belly dancer shimmying her way past our table.

Baby nudges me in the arm with his elbow. “Ah, don’t worry about it. It’s no big deal.” He tosses Pierce a look. “We won’t tell anyone.” They crack up laughing.

Assholes.

I place a hand on Ryker’s shoulder then shove my fingers into his hair.

Baby holds his hands up in surrender, palms facing out. “I don’t tell anyone this because it’s for security reasons, of course.
