I NEVER WANTED a game to be over with as quickly as I did that one. I had always been a competitive player, but I turned into a savage beast on the field with the promise of alone time with Xavier in my car bouncing around in my brain.

“You were on fire tonight, bro,” Jack said after we lined up to exchange high-fives. “Bring that with you to every game, yeah?”

“You almost hit for the cycle,” Gray said as he jogged up next to me. “Little extra incentive tonight? Showing off for a certain someone, perhaps?”

“I was motivated,” I told Gray. He was the only person who hadn’t urged great caution when dealing with Xavier. I’m not sure if he was clueless about the condition Xavier was in when he returned home or he simply had more faith in Xavier’s abilities to cope and deal with his issues.

“Good for both of you.” Gray playfully punched me in the arm.

“Thanks for not denting your handsome face,” Chase said to Gray as we approached our small fan club.

“Meh, I could’ve covered up a shiner with makeup for you on the big day.” Xavier’s casually tossed comment made everyone laugh but me. How many times had he covered up bruises that his ex-manager gave him? I refused to refer to that guy as his ex-boyfriend, because a boyfriend is someone who cares about you, not beats you senseless.

“You kids all have fun,” Gram told us when we reached the parking lot. “I’ve got enough material to get an outline done, but not until after I spend some quality time with my beau.”

Hugs and kisses were exchanged with the sweet woman and then we split up into two cars. Gray had originally rode to the ballpark with me so it worked out great that he could ride to Bottoms Up with Chase and I got Xavier all to myself.

“Tell me all about your exciting news,” I said as soon as we climbed into the car.

My heart had done funny things like summersaults and backflips when Xavier told me he had planned on calling me to tell me his news. It was a giant leap in the right direction and did a lot to assuage my hurt over not hearing from him sooner. It was harder than hell not calling or texting him, but I knew that distance is all he wanted from me after the stakeout. He had erected a gigantic wall during the short time I talked to Van next to his car. I tried getting him to open up to me that night, but he refused. Giving him the space he wanted was the only option available to me.

“Several months ago, I submitted an original score that I wrote and produced to a big name production company in LA and my music was chosen for a theme song for a new cable series.” Xavier’s excitement pulsated throughout his entire body so hard that I felt the shockwaves. “God, Ben, it’s a huge fucking dream come true for me.
