I was with Alex, and we were having drinks in an outdoor café by the beach when I saw Isaac walking toward us. The last thing I wanted was to confront him, especially in front of Alex and I hoped he would just walk past us or something, but no such luck.

“Hi,” he said.

“Isaac, I believe,” Alex said. What a genuine little faker. “Please. Join us.”

Isaac politely refused. “Can I speak to you for a minute?” he said to me.

I looked at Alex and he gestured that it was okay. So I got up and went with Isaac. After walking a few steps away he stopped. “I owe you an apology,” he said. “I realize I was out of line. I should have said something the other day, but I didn’t. When you got angry at me, I just went silent. It was the wrong response. I should have stayed and told you what was really going through my head.”

“Isaac, it’s not important.”

“It is,” he said. “It’s important to me. You were right. Every time I said the word boyfriend I did get weird, but the feeling that you picked up on, it wasn’t sarcasm. It was envy. It was bothering me, okay? That you were with him, and I should have told you that. But that’s it, Sam. I wasn’t keeping all this to myself because I wanted you to hop into bed with me. I kissed you because you were leaving and I was all screwed up, I didn’t want you to leave, especially when it was to go be with someone else, and I realize now that it was wrong, but Sam, I just want a chance to get to know you. Even if it’s just as friends. I’m going away tomorrow. I know you still have plenty of time left in your vacation. You stay here with Alex, have the time of your life. But when you get to New York, I would love it if you could give me a call, even if it’s just to talk.”

A part of me was dying to kiss him. “Alex is waiting,” I said, just to make sure I wasn’t going to do anything stupid.

“I know,” he said. “You should go. You have my number, right?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay then, Sam. I’ll wait for your call.”

I didn't even turn to see what he was doing, I just headed back to our table where Alex was patiently waiting. The evening was beautiful. The sky was a breathtaking blue, reflecting the colors of the ocean as the sun sank lower. The ambient light from the tiny lamps of the outdoor café fell over the sand to create the most wonderful effect. I don’t think I’ve seen anything so calming. So beautiful.

“How’d it go?” Alex asked when I sat across from him.

“He wants me to give him a call when I get to New York,” I said. “Just to talk.”

“Let me guess,” he said. “You don’t believe him.”

“I believe what I see, daddy.”

“And what do you see?”

“I see you.
